The moving pictures show the recent
worlds championship motor boat races.
William Farnum will head the Or
pheum bill opening December 26. He is
best remembered from his creation of
the name part in Ben Hur." He has
a sketch, 1.-THE Mallet's Masterpiece" ."
Mike Donlin, former captain of the
New York Giants, and his clever wife,
Mabel Hite, are soon to be at the local
Orpheum.
The second big Sullivan and Consi-
dine road show will open at the Los
Angeles theater this afternoon and
Billy Van, the famous minstrel man,
who has long been announced as the
assassin of sorrow" will make his
first appearance before a popular
priced audience in this city. Billy
Vans reputation as burnt cork' fun
maker of the first rank is wide.
OF no little Importance on the road
show bill is the act of the Five Colum-
bians, Caro- Miller and his family, who
will be seen in their spectacular cre-
alton. "The Ballet of the Roses" This
is their first vaudeville tour since their
long engagement at the New York
Hippodrome. Others on the bill are
Charles Wayne and his company in the
comedy sketch. 40 a. m. or the Morn
ing After" John Dillon, Seymour and
Robinson, comedy acrobats in 'The
Mink and the Mixer" and Cox and
Farley in new songs and dances.
The Familia Bell troupe of ten Span
ish musicians headline the bill at PAN
tages this week. The musicians play
upon a great variety of reed and string
instruments The novelty of their act
consists of two giant marimbophones.
So extensive is their repertoire that a
different program will be arranged for
every performance. The stage settings
show a picturesque gypsy encampment
of medieval days; the costumes are in
harmony with the set and electrical ef-
fects enhance the value of the presen-
tation.
John and Mae Burke in "How Patsy
Went to War" the Dare Bros, Tony
Genaro, an impersonator of character
types; Winnie Baldwin, singing SOU
brette; Gilmore, Kinkey and Gilmore,
and new ''photo-plays" will complete
the bill.

play itself is delightful, and if the stage
manager will get back ION the job
and if the actors will master the spirit
of the thing it should prove a worthy
and popular Offering.

TETRAzz|N| WILL SING
HERE At $500 PER NOTE
Diva Will Give Two Recitals at
Auditorium in the Middle
of January

Would you, Mr.. and Mrs. Gentle
Reader, sing half a dozen songs for
$4,000? What!
Tetrazzini wouldn't. The great diva
has just refused an offer to come to
Los Angeles and give two recitals at
$4,000 per recital. But she will come
here and sing-not at her own price
but at slight advance over the $4,000
offered her by l.. L. Behymer, the
manager of the Auditorium.
To be precise, the Italian singer will
receive the $4,000 originally offered her
and a percentage of the receipts of the
house over that figure. Behymer
hasn't figured it out but roughly es
timated every time the sweet-voiced
Louisa sends a golden note across the
footlights it will mean something more
than a golden dollar added to her bank
account
Manager Behymer signed a contract
with Tetrazzini at San Francisco last
night for two recitals in the middle of
January, and was so overjoyed that
he used up several dollars of prospec-
tive profits in telegraphing the glad
some tidingS back to Los Angeles. He
also waited back the information that
he had signed Gerville Reache, the
great contralto, but omitted details.
Tetrazzini sang before an audience of
1000 at San Francisco yesterday and
hundreds were turned away. She re-
peated the triumph she scored eight
years ago when, in the same city, she
jumped to the fore on the American
operate stage by veritable vocal duel
with Melba. At that time Melba, then
the undisputed vocal queen, was
booked to sing the mad song
from Lucia" in a concert. Tet-
razzini was singing at the I'll
voi, a few blocks away. and that
day she deliberately chose Lucia"
putting her voice to the test against
the great Melba. The Tetrazzini au-
ditors. or those who could afford it.
sushed from her hall at the conclusion
of her singing to hear Melba in the
same selection, and the almost unani-
nous opinion of audience and critics
was that Melha had been dethroned.
At the present time Tetrazzini is said
to be the highest priced singer on the
American stage, and that means the
stage of the world, for the prices paid
here are far above those paid in any
other country.

Parents are kindly REQUESTED to re-

der four years of age to school Every
teacher is kedt busy, as it is, and the
rooms are crowded, hence the absurdi-
ty of having a teacher spend a whole
half day trying to teach fifty or more
pupils and entertain a crying baby.
Please pardon our wrath here but we
have in several instances courteously
asked the parents to please not send
them They are welcome when we
have exercises but on regular school
days, the pupils are here for work and
to have a room of fifty annoyed by the
continual going to sleep"and crying
of babies is an injustice to the parents
as well as pupils who are legally EMIT
led to the teachers service. Parents
no doubt mean all right but in recent
case the child would neither listen to
the sister, teacher, GO home or do any
thing else, result, the teacher had to
carry the child home some distance.
This may look fine on the surface but
when the Prin. has to have another
teacher leave her classes and take
charge of the room thus vacated or
dismiss the grade we think it only just
that this practice should be stopped
once and for all.
