To refuse like the distinguished Ger

Does it seem an ambitious thing to

Owing to the increase in the num-
ber of his producing centers, Charles
Frohman has found it necessary to
purchase a $4,000 private car to facili-
tate his trips between them.
Hitherto he has used New York as
the base of his theatrical operations,
and his visits to the other cities have
been merely occasional. But this year,
by securing additional time and the
aters, he is able to put into operation
his long contemplated plan of produc-
ing plays in all the leading theatrical
centers. Next month he will conduct
rehearsals simultaneously in New
York. Boston, Philadelphia and Chi
cago.
When he announced his intention of
doing this his fellow managers de-
clared it was a physical impossibility.
But Mr.. FrohHan smiled. Yesterday
he surprised them with the announce
ment that he had not only bought a
$4,000 private car, but that he had
entered into arrangements with the
New York Central, Pennsylvania and
other, roads whereby his train would,
in an exigency, be allowed the same
right of way as the presidents spe-
cial.
His private car is characteristic of
him. 1t is furnished simply and has
only three compartmSnts-a library. a
dining room and a bedroom-all the
rooms any man needs, says Mr.. Froh-
man. In the library there is merely
a quantity carved black walnut table,
several chairs and two book cases con-
tanning plays he is to produce here
and in London during the coming
season, and plays that have been sub
mltted to him. The dining room is at
the rear of the car and is also an
observation ROOM 1t is furnished in
Flemish oak The only feature on
which Mr.. Frohman has spared no ex-
pense is the sound proofing. The usual
rattle of the train is annoying to him.
and he has had the car encased in
material that deadens the sound so
that he may travel as noiselessly as
in a limousine.

The plot of "The Brass Bottle CEN
| ters around the temperance of the
! famous Genie of Aladdin from the
bottom of the sea, where he was
thrown in a brass bottle. after 5000
years. Horace Ventimore, a young
London architect is in love with Sylvia
Futvoye the daughter of a professor
of Oriental arts. but because of his
poverty he is unable to win her fathers

bottle at an Egyptian auction. The

guests. leave, however, Ventimore prizes
off the stopper. Instantly there is a
flash, followed by a thunderous report,
and a weird Oriental genie rises from
the smoke. The genie explains that
he is Fakrash- -El-Aamash. In his
gratitude for his deliverance after the
centuries of imprisonment, he offers to
grant Ventimore anything that he may
wish. The architect is eager to have
a client, and, presto, through a Win
dow is blown wealthy man, who has
been seized with a sudden longing for
$500, 900 mansion. The genie pro-
| ceeds to shower his benefactor with the
wealth of Ormuz and Ind, and turns
his modest lodging into an Oriental
palace His sweetheart and her par
ents, invited to dinner, are shocked at
his seeming extravaganza. At the dim
ner six dancing houris, headed by
languorous beauty, enter, and the re-
spectacle family is Mortified. Each
successive gift from the magician
works more harm than the last one.
HcraCe's ingenuity in keeping his head
and getting the genie back into the
bottle, and at the same time managing
to square himself with Sylvia and her
parents, is by far the most humorous
feature in the farce.

Everybody who has been to the
Orpheum during the last week
has noticed a large medallion
which Miss Rice wears just over
her heart. ,As l walked into her
dressing room the very first thing
l noticed was that medallion
pinned just over her heart as it
was while she was on the stage,
although she was now in street
costume. I glanced at it even be-
fore ] noticed her face. After we
had chatted fol- an hour or so and
had gotten onto friendly terms I
made bold to inquire about the bit
of ivory.
AS Miss Rice unpinned the me
dallion her whole demeanor
changed. Her eyes took on a
soft, dreamy expression. I al
most fancied I saw a film of tears
as she handed it to me with the
words, which were more a caress
than an expression, That's my
baby" From that moment on,
the stage and all its associations
were lost in the conversation.

come the mother. What was
said after that is, for the most
part, of too intimate a nature to
repeat. Suffice it to say I learned

At the Lyceum theater, New York,
last Thursday night Charles Frohman
produced F. Anstey's romantic
comedy, "The Brass Bottle" which ran
for over a year at the Vaudeville
theater, London. The play is fam
story, growing out of the fable of
Aladdin and his wonderful lamp. For
stage purposes certain dramatic units
were added. The production is of in
terest to Los Angeles playgoers because
of the presence in the cast of Richard
Bennett, who recently appeared as
stock star with the Burbank company,
and before that as leading man with
Maude Adams. In THE Brass Bottle"
Mr.. Bennett has his first stellar role.
1t was because of preparations for the
production that MI Bennett was forced
to cut short his stay in Los Angeles,
much to the regret of everybody.
Others in the cast of THE Brass Bot

favorite through his numerous vaude-

pen you a few lines of praise on

1.aud. DIR. poIand'. views.

To the Editor of the Evening Star; :
Dear Sir-Permit me to congrat-
ulate City Superintendent OF
Schools DIR. Poland and Professor
B. C. Mathews, of the High School,
on the stand they have taken in
dorsing a ban on the dead Ian
guages. They are certainly sane.
sensible and progressive men,
Their views, as quoted in last
nights, STAR, are well worth
perusal and consideration by
thoughtful-minded parents. There
is altogether too much ancient his
tory in our public schools. What
we need is present and up-to-date
history. Superintendent Poland
says Latin and Greek will not help
a man to operate a railroad office
nor keep a highwayman from rob-
bling you. If a man is drowning
because. he cannot swim, even
though he be a Greek philosopher.
what good will it do him if he has
not been taught self-preservation?
Now, how much better than dead
languages would be up-to-date and
ahead-of-the-times object-lessons on
wireless telegraphy, dirigible bal
looms and the wonderful coming
possibility of the gyroscope. I
think Thomas A. Edison, the
Wright brothers and such men as
Santos-Dumont would be much
more interesting character studies,
than the departed Cicero, Caesar,
Brutus or Nero. Even the dullest
boy would, at least, be interested
in our modern inventions.
Swimming and dancing should be
compulsory in all the schools, be-
cause they are both beneficial and
healthful exercises.
Girls should not be compelled to
study algebra or geometry, a the
majority of the young misses find
them very distasteful studies. They
are of no practical use to them in
after life.
1t would be well not to kill
healthy students with dead LAM
guages; parents at any time prefer
live ounces to dead scholars. Yours
respectfully,
