DANGEROUS FAKES.


There has recently been attempted
at some of our grocery stores, and
also at dwelling houses, by agents
who are trying to sell alum baking

to show by some boiling test that
pure cream of tartar baking powders
contain something which every Wo-
man Of intelligence knows they 90
not.
It does not need q chemist to ex.
pose this trick. Cream OF tarter.

Where Are the Palace Girls?

An interesting speculation grows OUT
of perusal OF The Stage" columns
The Stage" is a London theatrical pub
lication. and a late issue was sent to
me by courtesy of Edward L. Naples
who represents the paper in the west
ern states.
In the department devoted to the va
riety stage review tells OF the eight
Palace girls who are still entertaining
patrons of that playhouse. Still we
have the eight Palace girls here at
the Orpheum. The only explanation
that seems reasonable Is that all OF
the girls are twins.
Melville Ellis. who Is well remem-
bered here. is playing at the Palace
also. He is called "a smart American.
and still apother American who Is
prominent on the Palace bill Is Mauds
Allen, who is doing her original YER
sion OF the SaIome and Anitra dances.
which latter she BODIES forth to the
Anitra music from Griegs Peer Gynt'
suite.

Where Doctors Differ

THE variety OF opinion expressed by
stage experts in New York of Rob
ert Mantells performance of the
role of King John. in the first produc-
tion of that work which the metropolis
has Witnessed for s5 years. illustrated
the value OF personal opinion if not the
science of criticism. From highest
praise TO condemnation is passed out
to Mantell. the present exponent OF
classic drama.
1t may be interesting to note the
contrasts.
william Winter veteran reviewer Of
the Tribune, says:
The most important dramatic event
of the year occurred last night. when
Robert Mantell, appearing at the New
Amsterdam xtheater. impersonated the
speare.s historical tragedy relative to
that monarch. and, by. a great per-
formance. gave conclusive proof that
he is a great actor.
"The crowning excellence OF Mr..
ManteHs performance is his interfu
sion, from the DeSlOHlHS, VI iudlie HAtS
with. royal arrogance. duplicity with
irascib1e valor, and lurking incerti-
tude beneath an outside show OF power.
In this respect rss acting excels that
of Charles Kean. the best and the most
renowned representative OF King John
who has been seen here. within long
remembrance of our stage.
"As far as possible in his treatment
of the play. and entirely and decisively
in his performance of the king. Mr.
Mante1l has preserved that atmosphere.
He endues the miserable sovereign at
once with dangerous personality,
nervous temperament. a disquieted
mind. sinister look and an impetuous.

ments. weakly irresolute. His i'm
personation, accordingly, is all of one
piece. so that. when ne reaches the

in favor of introducing new talent
whenever he gets tie chance to do so.
1t is very probable that The Whirl
pool which is the new plays title. will
be seen soon at the Aloazar theater.
Much wiser heads than mine have
been wrong in judgments of new plays.
Thousands of dollars have been sunk
in productions which have proved utter
failures and on the other hand dramas
which have been refused by ths wisest
of producers have finally been landed
by some hardy manager and have made
fortunes for the man who took a
chance so I will not attempt proph-
esy about "The Whirlpool" but will
tel the story which the manuscript dis
closes.
The background of the play is graft;
which serves as a setting for the devel-
opment of the honor of citizenship and
through all the scenes there runs the
thread of the law which. perverted and
distorted by technicalities. interferes
with the progress of right.
A young lawyer, Gordon. with the
highest conceptions of what are the
duties and responsibilities of an Amer
lean citizen marries the daughter of
wealthy woman, Mrs. Parker Ford. a
typical vulgarian Gordon, because of
his idealistic beliefs, has, throughout
his life refused to lower himself by ac-
complishing the questionable work
which wealthy clients demand from
their legal employees Hence he is poor.
a fact which greatly angers his mother
in law Mrs. Parker Ford The play
opens with Gordon being offered the
position of leading counsel for cor
rupt political boss on trial. He re-
fuses, recognizing that TO accept the
his knowledge of the law for the abus-
ing of justice. inasmuch as his client
would desire him to avail himself of the
lengthy delays and technicalities which,
while legal, can not under any circum-
stances be considered honorable.
Il am an American citizen" says he.
you are an American husband says
his mother in law. She drives home
the fact that inasmuch as he married
her daughter Becky, it is required of
him to give her home equally SUBJ
stantial. In the end Gordon accepts
and from thence the whirlpool of graft
begins to suck him under. All his
ideals, his sense of honor. his stand
ards of right and wrong are cast to the
winds and he proceeds to defend his
client with all the Objectionable abuses
Of delay and technicality- A climax
comes when the client, Ferguson, In
forms him that he is expected to see
that sufficient jurors are bribed.
you don't think you know enough
law to clear me with all that evidence
they have against me. says Ferguson.
The San Francisco call., 1909-03-21

&c PEAKING about Charles Klein
and his manuscript Of The Lion
and the Mouse makes me think. =,
said Butler In spite Of the fact that
Klein was the author of The Music
Master. nobody would take a chance at
his great graft play. He showed it
to the Frohmans and to the Shuberts,
and even David ReIaseo, the great
judge of plays, turned it down. Henry
Harris had entertained so many losing
propositions at his Hudson theater that
another failure did not startle him. and
he took chance with the play. Har-
ris was nearly busted at the time. too
I might as wei go broke" good he
said Now Harris owns the Hudson
theater. which he bought out of the
profits of The Lion and the Mouse.
and he is ipdependently wealthy, while
Klein wouldn't have TO worry If he
never wrote another play in his life.

from the case; but by cleverly worked

turns the tables on Gordon and the

Local Writers Present
New Graft Drama

"A ARTIN V. MERLE and Harry Da-
Nv Nlvids have completed graft drama
which Fred j. Butler of the Alca-
Ear says he will probably stage in the
near future
Justice hampered by law is the theme
of the play. Merle is well known to
the theatrical fraternity from his au-
thorship of "The Light Eternal" and
Davids is well known as a newspaper
and magazine writer. though he has
never tried his hand at playwriting be-
fore. Butler is enthusiastic over the
result of Merie's collaboration with
Davids and as he has declared himself
