Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-20

| If you happen to be addressed IN
some strange jargon when you pur-
chase ticket for the Orpheum or are
directed to your seat by the usher do
not call the police or make complaint
to Manager Drown that you believe in
sanity is creeping into the midst OF
attaches of the vaudeville house. They
are saner than you think. 1t is Jap
anese, not jargon. you hear And it's
all because the little brown brothers
who reside in and around Los Angeles
are doing honor to their eight nttle
brown sisters in the Geisha girl act.
According to careful estimate there
have been an average of $50 Japanese
attend each performance since the
Geisha girls made their first bow iast
Monday afternoon. Many of the Jap
anese are unable to speak or under
stand a word of English. When they
purchase tickets they make signs. 1t
| is easy enough to sell tickets by signs,
| but it is not so easy to direct the Jap
anese when once they get inside OF the
| theater AS a result the ushers have
learned a few hasty words of the Nip
ponese tongue, and in it say right
and left" as easily as though they had
always spoken the language.
All of which proves that every mans
| job is not as easy as it looks.
During the coming week Los Angeles
| will feast at the grand opera table, for
! the Lambardi company will open a
weeks engagement Monday night. The
repertoire includes La Gioconda," I'll
Trovatore," Lucia" Madam Butter
fly" Faust and "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana"
Tully Marshall is the recipient of a
most valued tribute to his acting. A
prominent New York physician re-
! Gently saw performance of "The
! city, at the Lyric theater, and he
| says that Mr.. Marshall must have
studied up on the subject to ascertain
| the effect of drugs on the human sys-
| tenn. so true to life is his performance.
He states that the sensation pro-
| duced by injecting morphine with the
! needle causes the victim to imagine
| that insects or worms are crawling
up and down the hand. This would
make him keep rubbing his hands as
| If to shake them off, which bit of real
ism is admirably shown by Tully Mar
| shall for it will be remembered that
he is continually wringing his hands:
The physician said that Marshall
| presented such novel bit or reallsm
that he could hardly resist going be-
hind the scenes to offer medical as
sistance.
