City, Last Seen as Village

that time was composed of Dixon,
Rowe. Frllman and Manager Harry
Wyatt of the Mason opera house. This
was in the early days of the theatrical
business on the coast, and Mr.. Frill-
man can recall many of the hardships
that existed at that time for the thes-
plans.
The California quartet was organized
in New York, whore they sang for at
least one year before coming to the
coast and their first appearance in this
part of the country was at the old
Baldwin theater in San Francisco
thirty years ago with the San Fran
cisco minstrels. They came out for a
twenty-Week stand and remained sew
enty-two. IT was a great surprise and
one mingled with considerable pleasure
when Mr.. Frillman and Mr.. Wyatt met
after at least twenty years separation,
and it is needless to say that they
had at least one good song in the foyer
of the Mason to show each other that
they had not lost their voices during
this lapse of time. Mr.. Frillman was
noted as one of the faVorite baritones
of the country, and at that time the
quartet was the highest salaried. Mr..
Frllman says he never has seen a city
grow with such rapidity and beauty
as Los Angeles, and that his only re-
gret is that he cannot settle down and
become a Californian again. He had
not seen this city in twenty-five years.
His last visit was with Mr.. Wyatt in
his minstrels, which were housed at the
old Grand opera house, at that time
the only theater in this city.
Mr. Frillman has signified his inten-
tion of extending his visit some weeks
after the return of the Elks to their
various homes.

HYPNoTIZED DANsEUsE is
THE MARVEL OF LONDON

Mile. Magdaleine, the dream dancer"
who goes through her act under hyp-
motto influence, is just now the marvel
of London, where she is called the "un-
conscious Duse," because of her revela-
tion of strange tragic qualities as eX-
pressed in the dance.
The music to which this remarkable
young woman dances is wholly new
and unknown to her at each perform
ance, yet it is said that her interpreta-
tive response to it is instantaneous and
unerring. She has no rehearsals, and,
when her dance is applauded she re-
mains utterly unmoved. So, too, was
she Indifferent during her first London
appearances, when, being regarded as
an impostor, she was frequently hissed.
English scientists have investigated
her case and declare that her dances
are genuine performances under hyp-
motto suggestion. She is the daughter
of Georgian woman by Swiss father,
and her strange faculty was discoVered
by hypnotist who treated her Tor
headache. He saw her face illumined
with an ecstatic expression at the CHM
ing of a clock. A Chopin waltz was
then played and she danced it mag
nificently.

How to Cure Skin Diseases.

This is the question that has baffled
the medical profession for centuries.
A great many medicines have been ex-
plotted for the cure of skin diseases
without much success. Most of these
remedies were saIves or greasy lotions.
While they might give temporary re-
lief they did not have the power to de.
stroy the germ life that causes the di-
sease. You can now obtain from Mr..
Pfetferle the druggist, a clean, vegeta-
bic liquid remedy for external use that
will give prompt relief and perm anent-

or scalp disease. This remedy, which
is known as ZEMO cures by drawing
to the surface of the skin, and Destroy
ing the germ life that causes the di-
sease. 1t can be used freely on infants,
Mr.. Pfefferle says ZEMO gives the best
satisfaction of any medicine he has
ever sold for the treatment of all di-
seases of the skin or scalp. "a
