.STOVAINE KILLS
SURGERY PAINS
NEW DRUG DOES NOT END
CONSCIOUSNESS -
TWO OPERATIONS PERFORMED
AT COUNTY HOSPITAL
Neither Patient Suffers Any AGONY
During Time or After Doctors
Amputate Portions of
Their Bodies

Stovaine, the newly discovered an
aesthetic, was used yesterday in two
surgical operations performed at the
county hospital. The two patients suf-
fered absolutely no pain during the
operations and were conscious all the
time. One of them, L. P. Hollowell, 35
years old, smoked cigarettes and
laughed and joked while the scalpels
were being used to cut away portions
of his body.
Although stovaine is a new discovery
in medical science, a similar anaeS-
thetic known as tropo-cocaine, has been
used locally for several years.
DR.. Alden of San Francisco and DIR.
William of the county hospital staff
performed the operation which was
eagerly watched by half a dozen nurses
and internes.
The other operation in which sto-
vaine was used -Jas performed on
Jimmy McHugh, a 15-year-old or
phan who fell beneath street car De-
cember "a and had his left foot
crushed.
An amputation of the leg just above
the ankle was performed at the re-
ceiving hospital, but because of an in
fection, which developed, caused by un-
cleanliness and germs which are com
mon in cases of this kind, a seco1d
operation was found necessary and the
leg was amputated just below the knee.
The operation was performed by DR..
Alden of San Francisco and under an
anaesthetic of stoVaine. The boy suf-
fered no pain durin.. the operation and
was resting easily yesterday afternoon
and evening.

HEBREW "LEAR"
IS PRESENTED
RELKIN PLAYERS ARE SEEN IN
FAREWELL VEHICLE
MoDERNIZED SHAKESPEAREAN
PLAY STAGED AT MASON
William Morris, Here with Harry
Lauder, Prophesies Local House
Will Be Occupied by
October I
BY w. HERBERT BLAKE

The Edwin A. Rell1in Yiddish players
concluded their Mason engagement last
night with an interesting performance
of the Jewish King Le~r," modern
lied from the Shakespearean text by
J. Gordon. The parts were capahly
assumed by Mr.. Levenson, Miss Shain,
Miss Karp, Mrs. Krohner, Miss Weis-
man, Mr.. Vein -ock, Mr. Freedman,
Mr.. Lianski and Mr.. Krohner.
Lear is seen as a patriarchal He
brew surrounded by his family and
living in moderate affluence. Instead
of the fool, whom Shakespeare Just
missed making the hero of his play,
we have a family retainer, a genial
buffoon who follows the textual ira
dition with no little fidelity. Kent is
a modern Jew, talking philosophy and
anon protecting Cordelia in an hour
of peril. The two elder daughters are
exceedingly accurate replicas, in point
of character of Regan and Goneril.
Their husbands, portrayed with a
wealth of broad comedy, bore a less
striking resemblance to their proto-
types.
To the English speaking perception
Mr.. LeVenson seemed anting in much
of the grandeur and majesty of Lear
as we have learned him. The pathos
of the figure, however, was undenia-
BILE. Perhaps the very difference in the
adapted version defines the variation.
The Jewish Lear is not a king in his
prosperity. 1t TAX, adversely to sum-
mon forth that truly regal despair
which unites the heroes of both plays
in a close kinship. On the verge of
ruin the aged patriarch rises to the full
stature of his manhood. His family
monarchy asserts itself for one brief
moment, and then is blotted out One
fancies one can even discern in the
play the tragedy of rogress-inevita-
BILE and perhaps necessary, but poign-
ant and very real.
So many hackneyed and pointless
jests have been made on the subject
that one approaches a delicate form of
the art of these players with some hes
itancy I mean the eloquent use of
their hands in conveying dramatic inn
pressions. Only the keen md Vivacious
Gallo temperament can equal the He
brew in this impressive medium OF ar
tistic Interpretation. What ming
ling of these two strains in one human
being can mean to the st ge We have
only to recall Rachel to appreciate.
From time to time amid the acton
there rose the deep and solemn anti
phonal strains of old Jewish lyrics or
joy and aspiration that could not
have been other than hymns. In the
simplicity of a modern stage setting
frankly Elizabethan in its way-these
tones seemed a link which bound this
hand of PLAYERS to their remote and
glorious past. 1t was fitting con-
clusion to "a week of excellent acting
which has justly gratitied those for
whose pleasure it was Afforded, anq
which has been of no slight gain to
those of us who think of the drama
as a universal art.
