BAKER ELECTRICS ARE
BEING WELL RECEIVED
This Design of Conveyance Is
Proving Its DependabiIity

one OF the most popular cars and one
most favorably known for the use of
professional men is the Baker electric
Represented here in San Francisco by
r. 3. Dszgett e Co, the car has estab-
lished itself IL is claimed that the
FIRST electric built was the Baker, and
the foundation for other electrics was
laid in the Baker factory. In speak
ing Of the Baker electric, Dsggett says:
The Baker today is the only electric
that has a heavy series wound motor
Of 800 per cent overload capacity, with
commutator absolutely proof against
sparkling and burning under all con-
ditions. The most significant feature
of this new shaft drive is the entire
absence Of noise when the car is run
ming. Noise indicates friction and fric-
tion indicates a waste of power.
The Baker electric owes its suprem-
acy first 10 the way il is designed, and
second 10 the way II is built The
mileage capa city varies from so TO 100
miles on q single battery according to
the model. With careful handling they

EDITH BRADFORD
At OLYMPIC GAINS
FRESH LAURELS
In the Aborn Production of FRA
DiavOIO' She POrtrays Ad-
mirably The R0bber.


TT HE public placed another leaf in
the laurel crown of Miss Edith
Bradford at the conclusion of
her performance of the title role of
Auber's Fra Diavolo" in the Olympic
Park Theatre last night.
Her ability to portray the character
Of that dashing. unscrupulous light
opera robber had been for some time
a matter of comment. Opinions had
been divided as to whether she could
make her Interpretation convincing.
But toward the close of the first act
there was general murmur Of salts
faction. Miss Bradford proved more
than adequate. She was admirable,
striking the keynote Of the character
with q firm touch that betol1ened hours
of careful study. At no time was there
a suggestion of femininity In her at
titudes and gestures, nor in the light
and shade of her expression. Her
Diavolo had all the fire and reckless
humor for which the character is IA
nous!
Miss Blanche Morrison was dainty,
charming Zerlina, scoring particularly
in the bedroom scene, in which the
lovelorn heroine naively sings before
the mirror of her admiration of her
pretty self. Jack Henderson and Rob
ert Lett were Giacomo and Beppo,
faithful followers of Diavolo. Their
antics provoked much merriment,
though at times they seemed inclined
to cross the border that divides fun
from buffoonery. John O'Donnell, who
played Lorenzo in soldier clothes, sang
well and acted better. The role OF
Lord Alicash lost little in the hands
of Harry Llewellyn. He is to be for
given for mot knowning his lines thor
oughly. for the part came to him sud
denly last Friday, after 1t was neces-
sary to shift several of the characters.
Bernice Mershon was adequate as
Lady Allcash, and Ralph Nichols gave
a creditable performance OF the role OF
Matteo, the inn-keeper.
Never has an Aborn chorus appeared
to better advantage than in this pro-
duction. It's members displayed
familiarity with the Fra Diavolo'
numbers that made for exquisite har-
mony in the ensemble work. particular
ly at the close of the second act.
THE Bohemian Girl" to be revived
on a large, spectacular scale next week,
will bring the summer season of the
Aborn Opera Company to close.
