"The Man Of The Hour.

Thursday evenings entertainment
is George Rroadhurst's greatest Of all
American plays, The Man of the
Hour This successful drama has
scored one Of the most legitimate hits
of recent years. 1t is intensely human.
Its story holds one firmly. A more
ideal play could not be found in a
season search. 1t has won and will
hold the favor Of theatre-goers be-
cause the play is sustained by its own
real merit and does not depend upon
any clap-trap of scenery to please an
audience. SO frequently do the bits Of
humor break through the pathos and
more serious parts of the play that it
resembles an April day with the rays
of sunshine intermittenly breaking
through the showers. Managers Will
liam A. Brady and Joseph R. Grismer
are sending their special company for
this engagement and have also provid.
ed a complete new scenic production.
Herletta crosman.
AS one Of the foremost condolences
on the English-speaking stage Henriet-
ia Crosman is authority on the potency
Of laughter, having invoked the happy
god of merriment with success In al
most every play in which she has ap.
reared, and with more satisfactory re-
suits than ever in her newest comedy.

man speaks from the pulpit as the
high priestess Of geniality her re-
marks are we'll worth needing.
There is more tonic virtue in
good, hearty laugh" says Miss Cros.
man, than in all the herbs and medi-
cines concocted by man. Where laugh
ter begins. the blues take hasty
flight and melancholy disappears as II
by magic. A joyous peal of laughter
sends the red blood coursing through
the veins, brings the bloom of health
to the cheek and twinkle of gladness
to the eye. It's bracing influence is
greater than that of any artificial slim.
ulant, and where laughter is heard the
darkness and misery Of life are hap
PLY forgotten and the world is reveal
ed in all its true beauty and bright
ness. A hearty laugh Is the beacon
light which shows the, way to the sun
ny paths Of Joy and happiness.
IF were preacher would teach
the gospel of optimism, and as an act
ress have always endeavored to Sc
cure plays that were rife with oppor-
tunities for smiles and laughter In
this way ! am more fully repaid for
my efforts than by all the fulsome
praise for part well played For
each outburst of laughter is germ Of
happiness, and every cheerful indlvid

others who come in contact with him
may partake of it also
Never miss an opportunity for in
dulging in laughter. 1t makes you and
others happy and brings you to real

direct from her long Chicago run.

Woman's Opportunity.

Good sense is the greatest preser-

women had such chance in the

But the chance will avail them moth

HE IS NOW NO. 6,67S
Pennsylvania Banker Loses Titles in
Kansas Military Prison.

The United States penitentiary at
Leavenworth is now in possession of
William Montgomery. the banker and
former political adviser and hacker of
the late Senator Quay of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Montgomery has lost his titles and
is now known as NO. 6,67S.'
Montgomery arrived at the Leaven-
worth pen this morning and he was
photographed and his Berti'lon meas
urements and fingers prints taken. The
effects Of his long journey from the
east guaranteed a rest for him and he
was not assigned to any tasks. This
afternoon he was given a physical ex-
animation and was placed to work in
the government printing office at once.
1t is said that Montgomery will re-
ceive a rapid promotion. The former
prisoner who had charge of the print
ing office will soon be released and it
is thought that Montgomery will be
given the position. Herbert W. Tiers,
who accompanied Montgomery to
prison, has been assigned as clerk in
the prison brick plant.

CONSOLIDATION
SPECIAL TELEGRAM SENT TO
ASSEMBLYMEN
Municipal Waterways Association
Asks Los Angeles Delegation
to Work for Mccartney
Leeds Bill

"The thing that is greater today than
all others combined for the interests
of the people of Southern California, -
said Capt. Amos A. Fries yesterday,
lis the work for a free and adequate
harbor and the-first step now is the
passage of the consolidation measure
sought from the legislature by Los
Angeles. This is of vital Importance,
and the people of Los Angeles county
will realize this if the bill passes and
the plans now conceived are properly
worked OUT
This feeling is shared by all the other
members of the Municipal Waterways
association, and it was reiterated in
a telegram sent to the Los Angeles
delegation in the assembly yesterday
afternoon, signed by Joseph H Call.
president, and H. G. Quick, secretary.
of the association
The telegram, which was addressed
in care of Speaker P. A. Stanton, was
as follows:
'The Municipal Waterways associa-
tion, representing nearly 1000 business
men Of Los Angeles, San Pedro AMI
Wilmington, strongly indorses McCart
ney-Leeds bill providing for consoIida-
ton of cities by majority vote of each
city. The measure is absolutely fair
to every city and of vital importance
to the future of Southern California.
Los Angeles requires an outlet to the
sea, controlled by the municipality.
The sentiment is almost universal for
the bill in Los Angeles, San Pedro and
Wilmington. and the people depend on
the Los Angeles county delegation to
see that the law is passed..
