The TheaterS

A number of vaudeville artists have
been secured for next weeks produc-
tlon of "A Midnight Marriage" at the
Grand Opera house. This play IS
spectacular and one of the most pop
ular of Hal Reid's plays, and vaude-
vile performers will be used in the
first act which shows stage within a
stage and representing a music hail
on the Bowery, New York. During
this scene several excellent special
ties will be rendered and with the big
stage setting, which has been pre-
pared for the occasion, it will make a
most realistic effect.
Another one Of the scenic effects
to be seen will be an explosion in the
subway, which also allows fine op-
portunities for unusually effective
scenic effects. The first presentation
will be given Sunday afternoon.
1.-THE Missourlans," the southern
racing melodrama, which is the cur
rent attraction at the Grand, is prov
ing popular.
Big, good natured Sam Curtis, the
man who originated the "kid" acts in
vaudeville, with his company of five,
will be the headline attraction at the
Los Angeles theater next week, with
the new bill opening Monday after
noon. Curtis presents his original
school kid act entitled "a Session in
School," a one act musical farce which
takes one back to the dear old golden
rule days
Other features of the next week. s
program will be the six English Jug
Cling girls, who are the only Juggling
girls on the stage today. "Phasma," "
with her beautiful dances, and who
is the only rival of he late Loie Fuller;
the three Neyarres EurOpean acrobatS
and equilibrists; Haverley and Wells
in their lively and original race track
skit; the Holdworths and new COM
edy motion pictures.
"At the White Horse Tavern" a
pretty German comedy, will follow
Caught in the Rain" at the Burbank,
and will give Miss Marjorie Rambeau
her first big opportunity in several
weeks. She will play the part of Jo-
sepha, the landlady of the tourist hotel

fully in love with his pretty mistress.
For her second week at the Majes-
tic, Miss Virginia Harmed will play
one of her favorite roles, Paula, in

RELATIVES DECLARE MRS.
SHOLES Is INNOCENT

Mrs. Anna E. Sholes, who formerly
resided in Los Angeles at 2022 Aubrey
street, went east about ten months ago
to settle up the estate left her by her
husband, and there is possibility that
she is the woman referred to in the
eastern dispatch.
Mrs. Ida Felt, an aunt of Mrs. Anna
E. Sholes, lives at 1884 New England
street, in this city, and her children
stated last evening that they felt posi-
tive their relative had not become en-
tangled with the law in the east. A
daughter of Mrs. Felt said:
Mrs. Sholes has always borne a
good reputation, and following the
death of her husband year ago she
went to Kansas to secure the estate
We believe that if she is implicated in
this affair, she was the one robbed
and not a participant in any robbery.
MRS. Sholes has always had plenty
of jewelry and even before receiving
her husbands estate was we'll supplied
with money, and this fact, together
with her excellent habits, leads us to
believe that there is some mistake
about the reports"
Mrs. Felt was not at home, but the
daughter stated that her mother is or
the same opinion.

the youngster suddenly stepped off into
a deep hole and disappeared. The other

DOWNTRODDEN FATHER
Spokane Woman Would Give
Dad Celebration as Well
as Mothers

SPOKANE. Wash, July 21.-Mothers'
day has won a place among the annual
celebrations In the United States. but
any day in which to give father a pat

cheers. This is not to be. It's wrong,
and Mrs. ]. B. Doood of Spokane is
going to make 1t her business to see
that father gets a kind word once a
year at least.
Mrs. Dood has rallied number of
Spokane friends to to help her make
an annual fathers day worth while.
Mrs. Dood favors the third Sunday in
June as being the best day in the year
in which each member of the family
what a fine fellow he is. And in tell
ing him of his good points he must be
given red rose, according to Mrs.
Dood. Mrs. Dood has aroused the
ministers of Spokane to help her make
fathers day a countrywide celebration
in honor of the nominal head of the
family.
Mrs. Dood is not in the business of
selling roses; she is not seeking pub
licity: rather she is a good church
member who thinks poor, downtrodden
father has a rose coming to him once
a year at least Hurrah for father!

ecutive council, and there is a little legis-
lature which makes the laws. There are
Chinese in both council and legislature, and
altogether the government Is something of
a democracy, Singapore has its own mu-
nicipal body some of whose members are
elected by the taxpayers and some ap-
pointed by the governor.
The present governor of the island is
Sir John Anderson who is also high COM
missioner for the federated Malay states
and for the British colonies in Borneo. He
is Scotchman, who was member of the
Bering sea arbitration staff in London,
years ago, and who has held various other
important offices
The governor of Singapore receives a
good salary and he lives like a lord. His
palace here is finer than the White House
and he maintains a court somewhat similar
to that of the viceroy of India. He gives
a great ball upon the kings birthday, and
to this everybody who is anybody gets an
invitation. Indeed, it is said that every
one who is not in Jail at the time is in
vited.
These whites OF Singapore are fond OF
society. They remind me of an old college
friend who attended every funeral within
ten miles of his home. When asked why,
ne salu' i always IKE 10 go 10 gather-
ings." That is the way with these Slnga-
pore people. They like gatherings, and
they have clubs of all kinds to bring them
selves into company. Some are for sport
ing, rowing, cricket and lawn tennis. and
others are devoted to art, reading and
education. There is a magnificent club
house at the end of wide stretch Of lawn
just next the harbor, and a country club
three miles inland. at which dances and
theatricals are frequently given. There are
many picnics and outings Of various kinds.
The city is seml-intellectual. I mean as
far as whites are concerned. The Raffles
public library contains 10000 volumes, and
has also a museum relating to the Straits
Settlements. The city has four English
newspapers. two Chinese dailies, a Malay
weekly and two other journals published

roof. There are forty-four kinds OF snakes
on this little island, which Is not half as
big as some Texas farms, and of these
there are fourteen varieties which carry
poison bags under their tongues or at the
roots Of their teeth The worst, perhaps,
is the cobra, which spits venom. The Ma
layans tell me there is no cure for its bite.

snake that the jugglers all over the far
east use to show their skill. They handle
1t with impunity, laying it on the ground
and playing upon flute, which seems to
charm 1t. They also wrap cobras around
their naked necks and fondle them. The
other day a traveller who was watching
one OF these Hindoo jugglers made a bet
that the cobra's poison glands had been
extracted, and offered to prove this by
handling the cobra himself He grabbed
hold of 1t and the snake sank its fangs
into his arm. He died within a few hours

rat catchers in the place of house cats.
