Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-30

o'clock, makes an appeal to club
women, who will find in 1t many sug-
gestions as to methods that would
be of use in directing playground
work, school athletics and the like.
Miss Kellermann up to a few years
ago was q sickly, partly crippled girl.
BY means of many athletic exercises,
principally through swimming, she has
attained a growth and beauty of form
which has led Professor Dudley Ser
geant of Harvard to proclaim her "the
perfect woman" Her measurements
show that this assertion is supported
by facts. Miss Kellermann, though,
of course, partial to swimming as the
most perfect all around means of
physical development, and one easily
available here, is yet an advocate of
many other exercises. She is an ex-
pert swordswoman q fine archery
player, does diabolo, in which she is
the womens champion: rides superb
ly, and runs her own automobile, of
which she is complete mistress. Her
talk, therefore, ought to bear the hall
marks of authority, and it is safe to
predict that she will hold her hearers
from the beginning. AS stated, the
talk will be for women. No men and
children will be admitted. There will
be no charge of any kind; nothing will
be sold and nothing will be advertised
Strident martial airs, costumes re-
splendent with brass buttons and sew
eral burlesque skirmishes are fea-
lures of "The Battle of Mule Run,
the musical playlet offering of the
Princess Musical Comedy company
for the present week. The musical
farce Is really one of the cleverest
bits of burlesque that has been seen
at the Workman stronghold for some
he rarfxy
applause accorded 1t by the two good
houses at the opening performances
yesterday afternoon and evening.
Another brand new Sullivan & Con-
sidine bill consisting of six splendid
acts opened at the Los Angeles theateI
yesterday afternoon headed by Murray
X. Hill, the jolly monologist who is
rather well known to the public by
reason of his many funny phono-
graph records, Estells Wordette in her
laughable comedy entitled "A Honey
moon in the Catskills" and Toney and
Norman. Other acts on the new bill
and Madame Cabarets dog circus
Beulah Dallas, Don and Thompson and
the new comedy motion pictures. The
bill will be reviewed in tomorrow
ISSUE
Roderic Vance, appearing at Bristo
Pier cafe, is winning laurels with his
classical piano solos. Mr.. Wanee's
work compares favorably with that oi
any pianist who has visited Southern
California this season. His singing
also Is a feature of the program, fol
the artist is doubly gifted
Allen Wray, the Cathedral tenor
recently added to the company, is scor-
ing decided success also. This youth
full but talented singer possess a voice
of great range and beauty. He is
singing popular as well as classical
selections.
Dividing honors with other artists
Miss Hortense Glen, the we'll known
operate contralto, is singing a num-
ber of new songs this week. She Is
encored at every appearance. Miss
Moreno's work, especially in grand OPP
era, has proved the right of that ma
tive daughter to highest honors as 6
prlma donna. Her rendition of tho
kiss Waltz" was received with most
enthusiastic applause. Miss Moreno's
future upon the stage seems assured
The entire program at the pier is OF
character best suited to the higf
class of guests patronizing that popu-
lar resort.
Frances Starr is at length coming
to the Mason opera house for one
week, beginning next Monday, ir
"The Easiest Way" that remarkable
play by Eugene Walter of "a particular
phase of New York life" Miss STAIRS
presentation of the character of Laura
Murdock has won her the unstinted
| praise of the most exacting critics, and
| it is admitted that there is no Other
actress on the American stage SO well
qualified by physical gifts and tenn
permanent to interpret that exceedingly
difficult role.
