LOCAL WOMEN'S PLAYLET
ACCEPTED BY ACTRESS
Sketch for Friday Morning Club
to Be Produced on Stage

Mrs. Lillian Burkhart- Goldsmith has accept
ed a new one-act play written by two local
women for production at the Friday Morning
club at the last meeting of the year. June "a.
Mrs Samuel Travers Glover and Miss Luella
Conley of South Pasadena are the authors of
the play and the club women are taking par
ticular pride in the fact that Mrs. Clover.
one of their own club members, has accom-
plished 80 promising a playlet. The name OF
the play is what Every Woman Wants"
and 1t will be produced by Mrs. Goldsmith In
the principal part, supported by another
woman who has recently appeared here with
Mazlnova, and by a popular leading man,
whose work here on his several appearances
has made a most pronounced hit.
Mrs Goldsmith may use the play for pro-
fessional work next season in case she de-
cides to accept another engagement in the
Orpheum circuit. The opportunities afforded
in this vehicle are in accord with her desires
for sketch along emotional lines rather than
comedy. and 1t Is prophesied by critics who
have read the work that 1t will prove popular.

turning yesterday from San Francisco, where
a delegation from this city attended the meet
ing of the California state central committee,
stated that formal charges will be filed by the
Los Angeles Democracy against Nathan Cole.
jr., with the Democratic national committee,
in time for the next meeting of that body.
Gratis that Cole will be removed from the
national committee.
IAN effort was made to have Mr.. Cole
removed from tho national committee while we
were at San Francisco" said Of the re-
turning Democrats yesterday, but investiga-
mittee has power to fill vacancy on the
national committee. 1t has no power to create
vacancy.
Nathan Cole can only be removed from the
national committee. according to the chair
man. Norman Mack. by the state central COM
mittee fling its formal charges against Cole
with the national committee. This will. be-
lieve. be done in tho near future.
I'VE found tho feeling against Mr.. Cole as
pronounced as II is in Los Angeles. but other
than this l have nothing to say. The only
charge that we make. of course. is that Mr..
Cole does not represent the true Democracy Of
California and that he should not be on the
national committee. This charge we will sub
stantiate by certain evidence which It is not
now advisable to reveal.
While in San Francisco a committee waited
on Mr.. Cole and requested him TO resign from
the national committee. This Mr.. Cole refused
to 90, so there is only one course left open
for us. have no doubt when the national
committee is acquainted with all the facts in
the case. and our reason for the request is
made known, Mr.. Coles place on the commit
tee will be declared to be vacant"
