FIND ENJOYMENT
IN BIT OF OPERA
Excellent Bill Is Given This
Week at the Oakland
Orpheum

OAKLAND, July 25.-Sunday crowds
packed the Oakland orpheum today
and throughout the afternoon and night
reveled in the toothsome vaudeville
dainties that the Orpheum people
spread on the stage for their delecta-
tion. 1t was one of the prettiest bills
of the year.
The honors were evenly divided
between the operate performance
entitled 'The Patriot which Hell
ena Frederick and company of dozen
people present, and the work of Char
lotte Parry, who is known as a pro
team marvel" Miss Parry portrays
seven characters, running the gamut of
stage portraiture, male and female.
each character being so distinct from
those it has preceded as to seem
absolutely a new character. The play
in which Miss Parry appears is called
THE Comstock Mystery"
Music lovers will be delighted with
"The Patriot and with Helena Fred
erick. The opera is a high class offer
ing. Every voice that is utilized in
the production is of high grade, most
of the singers having been grand opera
people. Miss Frederick is especially at
tractive as prima donna. Elaborate
stage effects and beautiful costumes,
all of colonial stamp. give the act a
pretentious appearance, which was not
the least part of its attractiveness to
the crowds.
The greatest girl juggler in Europe,
Selma Braatz, demonstrated how
woman may perform all the juggling
feats that have hitherto been done ex-
clusively by male jugglers.
The three Leightons returned to the
Orpheum to receive an uproarious
greeting from the regulars, who re-
membered with delight the act which
the Leightons gave last year. "a One
Night Stand in Minstrelsy," the act is
called. It abounds in bright comedy;
some very good songs are rendered by
the Leightons.
Fun in a Schoolroom;" as stirred up
by the Redpath Napanees, proved to be
delightful morsel given for the
vaudeville devotees to enjoy. other
holdovers were the three sisters Ath-
letas, Armstrong and Clark and Londe
and Tilly.

Berkeley Council Plans
improvement of Streets
If Scheme Is Carried Out the City Will Have
Many Beautiful Thoroughfares

BERKELEY, July 25.-Comprehensive
on a broad scale are being considered
by the city council of this city, and
should the proposed plans. which have
been tentatively adopted. be finally
voted reforms in street proceedings on
a more elaborate scale than ever before
attempted will be carried out. These
are the plans which the council pro-
poses to carry out:
Widening of Claremont avenue.
2-Opening of Walnut street to Shat
tuck avenue.
8-Widening of Telegraph avenue
from Dwight way to Sather gateway at
the university.
4-Wfdening of Hopkins street from
San Pablo avenue.
5-Widening and opening of Gilman
street from San Pablo avenue to Hop
kins street.
6-Widening of Center street from
Shattuck avenue to Grove street.
7-Widening of Grove street from
Center street to Berkeley
The proposed plans for the betterment
Of the city streets are along so called
city arteries of travel. In each case
should the council carry out its present
intention main thoroughfares will be
created and boulevards made which will
make the city unique among those OF
the coast.
The several portions of the city are
considered in the plans proposed. as
we'll as the future development of
Berkeley northward and its internal ex-
pansion in the less populated districts.
The Claremont avenue widening. the
bitter bone of contention of the old
board of trustees, will probably be car
ried out according to the present plans
of the council in their informal discus
sions. This widening. to allow a double
Key Route track on the street, if need
be. and to create a boulevard leading
to the Claremont hotel and district i'm
mediately adjacent and the tunnel road
and abutting districts, is regarded by
the council as Of paramount interest.
PROPERTY OWNERS FAVOR PLANS
In this case. as well as the other con-
siderations before the council, the prop
erty owners in the district affected by
the proposed widening Of street open
ing will be given every opportunity to
state their position, and should the
council agree that an injury is being
done the city by the proposed work ac-
tion will be stopped and the tentative
plan abandoned.
The best interests of the city will be
of the greatest Importance, however,
and in the execution of the proposed
plans for the street proceedings, ad-
vancement of the entire city will be the
crucial question for solution.
The matter of the opening of Walnut
street is the result of action of the
board in resembling street proceedings
for the opening of the street between
Berkeley way and Hearst avenue, af-
fording an entrance into University and
Shattuck avenues through Home street.
This was deemed unwise, and the coun-
ell has laid plans for the opening of the
street 10 Stanford place, the terminal of
the Key Route company.

PRISONER CONFESSES
GUILT WHEN TRAPPED
Admits BurgIaries After Police
Gather the Evidence

OAKLAND, July 25-George r. Fran
els, the room thief whom Patrolman
Bracket captured in West Oakland two
days ago in a hand to hand encounter,
has confessed the extent of his activi-
ties to the police, duplicating himself
in about 10 charges of burglary. Until
the police had obtained evidence of his
guilt in each of the cases the prisoner
denied his guilt.
The last identifica ton of Francis as a
thief was made by Mrs. A. S. Larkin of
2270 San Jose avenue Alameda, which
was the first intimation the police had
that Francis extended his operations
into the Encinal City. Mrs Larkin
said that the man rented a room from
her and during her absence from the
house that same day took two gold
watches, a heavy gold chain and a
locket

private right Of way to gain a passage
way into Walnut street for an extension
of their North Berkeley system will find
a stumbling block, however. In the
proposal of the council, once the open
ing of the street is made, in the crea-
tion of a boulevard of the street
making it a strictly residence thor
oughfare.
The widening of Telegraph avenue
proposed is a result Of the petition of
merchants along the avenue for a
street with greater commercial posi-
bilities. At the present time the ave-
nue. from Dwight way is cramped by
the double tracks of the traction COM
pany, which renders 1t unfit for busi-
ness purposes.
AS there are a number of large
apartment houses and hotels the coun-
ell will in widening this street make
an ordinance affecting future building
in order to bring the property lines
several feet back on each side. AS
temporary expedient, however, the
sidewalk may be narrowed.
The widening of Hopkins street and
the widening and opening of Gilman
ohACCls lAlS 4dllCl PlOJcCI ldNlllS dlIOduy
been made public, is in line with the
policy of the council to make these
streets arteries of travel in a district
which with the advent of the Sacra-
mento and California street loops of
the Southern Pacific and Key Route
companies, will be one of the largest
and most populous sections of the
city.
WILL ALLOW MUCH FREEDOM
The widening of Center street,to the
width of the street east of Shattuck
avenue will allow greater freedom in
travel between the business center and
the new city hall at the corner of
Allston way and Grove street. Center
street west of Shattuck avenue is sew
eral feet narrower than the block east
and the street will probably be made
uniform on both sides of Shattuck
avenue.
Grove street from Center to Berke-
ley way may be widened for the same
reason. At the city hall the street
lines narrow and change the general
appearance of the street. Although
the council has not considered the plan
of widening the street as proposed to
the north city line, majority are said
to be in favor of the widening of the
street between Center street and
Berkeley way.
CAN BE DEVELOPED EVENLY
The program of street work outlined
by the council is perhaps one of the
most important plans proposed for
execution ever attempted by a city
board. While the program will take
years for completion If adopted it's ul-
innate execution Will place Berkeley
in a position TO develop evenly in all
sections with easy egress and ingress
to the various parts of the community
The property owners with whom the
council have discussed the plans are
highly enthusiastic and the board will
have many active supporters of their
new ideas for the betterment of
Berkeley.
