The Theaters

Manager Blackwood of the Belasco
theater and w. M. Campbell, repre-
senting the athletic association Of St.
V1ncent's college, yesterday signed a
contract whereby the collegians will
take charge of the Belasco company's
performances on Tuesday nights for
the next twelve weeks The athletic
association has an indebtedness on its
hands and it is proposed to wipe out
this by means of a series of theater
gatherings that will not only
INCLUDE the students and friends of st.
V1ncentS, but the general public as
Wen. The first Tuesday night perform
ance to come under the financial direc-
ton of the collegianS will be 'Charley's
Aunt" scheduled for next week at the
Belasco. Already large blocks of seats
TO the number of several hundred have
been secured by the st. Vincent's peo-
pie, and there is every indication that
the athletic association of the institu-
ton will be a considerable financial
gamer by the project.
David Belasco has secured many of
the original properties used in the
Blanche Bates production of 1.-THE Girl
OF the Golden West" which is to be
Belasco theater a week from Monday
night, with Florence Oakley in the role
of The Girl and Lewis S. Stone once
more as Ramirez, the polite highway
man. When 1.-The Girl of the Golden
West" was played at the local Belasco
last spring the entire production was
sent to this city from the Alcazar the
alter, San Francisco. The long run of
the piece and the subsequent hard
usage the scenery and properties re-
ce1ved during the brief road tour of the
Belasco company had the effect Of
practically rendering them useless for
further presentations, and Scenic Artist
Brunton, Carpenter Schlund, Property
Master Buskirk and Electrician Taylor
are about as busy a quartet of stage
workers as can be found anywhere.
The Union League club has arranged
for theater party that will number
$50 for the Monday night performance

MAKES BOLD ATTEMPT TO
STEAL BUSCH AUTOMOBILE
WouId=Be MaIefactor Proposes to
Take 1t to Garage for Repairs, but
Chauffeur Interposes Stren=
uous Objection

PASADENA, Jan. 14.-One of the
boldest attempts to steal an automobile
ever made in Pasadena failed last night
when an unknown man tried to capture
one of the great automobiles belonging
to Adolphus Busch, the millionaire
brewer who has his winter home here.
A man called last night at the Busch
garage and said he was sent by the
Union garage to get one of the Busch
machines and take it to the shop for
repairs. AS the machines happened to
have been repaired yesterday afternoon
the Busch chauffeur refused the de-
mand, and the man went to the Busch
house and tried to bluff the butler into
giving him an order. This failing, he
took his departure.
The two Busch cars are among the
finest in Southern California, and it
seemingly would have been impossible
for the man to have disposed of one
even if he had taken it.
