Angel Town" Is Apt Satire
Upon Things Municipal
BY w. HERBERT BLAKE

BF there is anyone in town who is
not properly lampooned in Angel
Il Town" he should write to one of
the genial and ingenious authors, and
be accommodated. The Gamut club,
which sponsors this child of fancy, has
long been known as a house of mirth
Apparently we are henceforth to hail
it the home of satire. 1t made a prom
ising beginning last night at its pretty
little theater on South Hope street.
The authors Of Angel Town" are
five-Walter II. Nichols and J Sidle
Lawrence for the book; VIII e. Wing,
l.. Stanley MoOrehead Charles WeS-
ley Hatch and Walter II. Nichols as to
the lyrics, and Messre. Moorehead and
Hatch for such of the airs as are not
interlopated Each of these gentlemen
has put something of his own retiring
or riotouS personality into the JOINT
product You can see them, in turn
peeping around the corner of the lib
retto at you, or welding the bludgeon
of terrible irony. City officials, the
newspapers, the municipal music COM
mission, femininity and feminists, all
feel the resounding swat of the verbal
slapstick. Charles FarWell Edison
heads the band of civic marauders by a
dry and droll impersonation of Mayor
Alexander That is all very we'll, but
here again is A. w. Francisco in an
exceedingly sleek and placid parody on
Charles Farwell Edison. You pay your
money and you take your choice

pomposity he comes on the scene as
the mayor is trying to disentangle a
Snarl of official precedence in the music
commission. The "suffragent' solves
the problem by seizing and appropriat-
ing the office of chief of police from
the tamely Wailing Tischman, whom
his near relatives may discern as u
J. Ovington. Enter then, Herr Decent
Weiblichkeit (Joseph p Du Puy) on
whom the advocate of votes for Wo-
men showers her affections and the
bauble of $4,000 band money with IN
discriminate abandon. The mayor Is in
torments, but he RECEIVERS in time to
give a stirring rendition Of the good
old "Stein Song" just as the curtain
falls-not as an expression of personal
opinion but merely to relieve his feel
ings
"Georgie Schmitt, who also ram is
played in a daredevil sort of way by
Charles Wesley Hatch. Clyde Mccoy
is a tenderly tough policeman. Frank

should be seen to be condemned, are
diversely depicted by Melville P. Fra

Moorehead, A. w Francisco and Ed

eight of the wickedest male chorus
girls in captivity, and just enough
scenery to make you keep your eyes
on the principals.

directed the production of the skit in

SHOCK FROM TELEPHONE

Crossed Wires Form Complete Circuit,
and Stable Man Receives
Full Force of Current

PHILADELPHIA,J Jan. 19.-Hanging
up the receiver after telephoning, Will
lam Anderson, a stableman, was
shocked to death. The presumption is
that the telephone wire was crossed
by a heavily charged wire borne down
by q heavy coating of ice.
A driver in the stable saw Anderson
stagger and caught him, but he was
unconscious. He was rushed to the Sa-
maritan hospital in a delivery wagon
but was dead when the physicians eX-
amined him.
Employees of the keystone Telephone
company and the Philadelphia Elec-
trio company hurried to the scene and
began an examination of the wiring

PLATONlC LOVE

Platonic love is a device by means of
which squeamish people are brought in out
of the wet, to speak. Love (the old and
originaD long ago perceived the difficulty,
and had an image of himself made of
putty, calling 1t Platonic love- Nobody, Of
course, is afraid of putty, and squeamish
people quite readily took Platonic love to
their bosoms
But the end was not yet. When Love
(the old and originaD deemed the time ripe,
he quietly inslnuated himself into the place
of the putty image, and behold, none knew
the difference
And SO the world goes round as weH Tor

OUR POLICE

T OS ANGELES, like every other
big city, has had a variety of
"A experiences with its police de-
partment. These experiences might be
disconcerting if it were not we'll known
they represent the common lot of all
growing communities. The relations of
the public and the police seem to
be more difficult to adjust upon a
permanent basis of usefulness than in
any other part of civic polity.
We do not believe any self-respecting
citizen of Los Angeles would tolerate
for an instant any condition of alliance
between police work and politics. The
attempt to establish some relation be-
tween the public policies which de-
termine the conduct of the police de-
partment and recent changes therein
will not have any weight with re-
sponsible people who do their own
thinking.
The police department must be kept
up to the highest standards of ef-
ficiency and discipline. The morale OF
the force to a great extent is influenced
by the spirit of discipline, and the
spirit of discipline is helped by a
disciplinarian of experience and ability.
