ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Majestic.

Two characters, Roy E. Hilliard as
Jasper Starbuck and Robert Blay-
lock as the BLACK Nanny, stand OUT
in the presentation of The Starbucks at
the Majestic this week. The story is
one of life in the hills of Tennessee and
though there is the customary love
thread running through the piece the
character study afforded predominates.
Orval Spurrier, the leading man,
plays tom Elliot" convincingly. Miss
Genevieve Russell is not working and
Miss Ruth Robinson has the leading
feminine role. She appears to good ad
vantage as Lou Starbuck'' and pleases
greatly.
Albert Ferguson as "Moze Bake"
suffering mountaineer, and Harry
North as Lag Spencer" are two of the
characters which draw ones attention
the second time. Both make deal out
of what might be played as parts of
lesser Importance, and each is more
than ordinarily good
Ira Herring as "Lige Peters" Edward
Ferguson as Judge Elliot" Miss Gene
Fulmer as Mrs. Mayfield,' Miss Clara
LIE Mar as Margaret Starbuck and
lanes w Dennis as Jim Starbuck, -
also are good.
Through the entire bill the work of
the author of the play, Opie Read, is
characteristic of the writer.
At the Novelty.
Master Carl Fletcher the boy tenor,
has returned and beginning this week
is singing the illustrated songs at the
Novelty theater. His work last season
and in the summer season proved so
pleasing to patrons of the vaudeville
house that it was decided to bring him
here again, with the result that he was
given a decided reception at the open
ing bill of the week.
Queen Nab and Weis, midget. singers
and dancers, proved the drawing card.
Not only were they an attraction be-
cause of their dininutive stature but
their singing and dancing classed them
among the best acts of their kind. Ca
dieux, billed in somersaults on bound
ing wire, pleased and displayed a work
which was different and which was
worth while.
Harry H. Richards, supported by Vir-
ginia Drew and Adele Ferguson in The
Hallucinations of DR.. Pitts, a. comedy
| sketch, failed in their comedy and the
sketch was replaced by another Love
a-la-mode, in whichA the trio proved
convincing.
The Garden City trio. composed of the
O'Neal brothers and Walmsley, might
have been better with less comedy and
more singing and both slightly abbrevi-
ated.

TALKING GIRLS
MUST Be MUM

Talking girls at the various central

must cut out all TALK tests with their
friends. Hello" girls you know are
human, and they have an unusual
number of friends. These latter are
attracted to the telephones even as

been known to carry on long and in
teresting communications. What else
can the boys do2 Are not the girls
locked for hours in the central switch

from the young men unless they get it

interferes with the service 1t is quite

there can be no small talk over the

only euswer legitimate calls. Nothing

SAYS SMITH IS SCARED
Candidacy of Irving Throws Pork. bar
 rel Statesmen Into Panic.

Nothing is more interesting and in some respects more amusing in Cali forna politics at this time than the helpless terror into which the Eighth District Republicans have been thrown by the announcement of the candidacy of Win. G. Irving, for Congress. Con- sternation now reigns in their ranks They have been sleeping on their oars and they aweken to find themselves out of the race The party is scared, and Smith is scared.
 In Maine, In New York and in Mass achusetts, in Iowa, in Minnesota and in Kansas, the stand pat" congress- men have gone down to inglorious de- feat. But the "Old Guard" thought the Eighth California District was safe and sure Smith of the pork barrel" and Cannon rules committee, the arch stand batter" of the past and present Congress, had run the insurgent gaunt- let and had no opposition for re-elec- tion. He would return to the service of his masters. So thought the "Old Guard" at Washington. So thought Smith, and he taunted his insurgent friends with the thought that he didn't need their votes.
 Then like a bolt from a clear sky came the announcement of Irving's candidacy. Here was a man from the heart of the orange belt of Southern California, man in pride and strength and vigor of manhood, in sympathy with the moving spirit of the day, with the full confidence and adoration of his own people, coming out like David of old to give battle, to claim certain victory.
 We say Smith is scared, and he it. What sorry spectacle? Here is. a man who has been six years in the Congress of the United States who has stood high in the councils of his party going down on his knees in utter despair. Think if it! Going to his Democratic neighbors, and plead ing with them in the name of friend ship, begging in the name of sacred neighborhood ties, to use their infiu- ence to keep this young man out of the fight But no use. His fences are down. He is "in bad" in every part of the district. He is in for good licking and he knows it. A sorry spectacle to be sure, but a good omen
 The newspapers are scared. Now comes the Riverside Press with an apoligetic appeal for Smith, and the San Diego Union, flying the signal of distress. Other partisan organs will join the dismal tune. But what it the use? They cant stem the tide of In- surgency, they can't quell the tempest of protest that has arisen in every part of the district, and their panic stricken appeals will only serve to magnify the inglorious defeat of Smith.
