BACK TO EARTH.

Old Jabez Jones he used to say
He'd not be satisfied
Until he got boss some day
Whose speed would be his pride.
And when he got the boss he said
He could not rest serene
Until he got a car that sped
By force of gasoline.
And when he got his motor car,
Its pleasures all proved vain;
He cried, How small such trifes are!
! want an aeroplane.
Alasl How swift ambition flies
And buoyantly uplifts
Till we forget to duly prize
Lies simple natural giftsl
The rheumatic" caught Jahez Jones
And caused his joints to balk,
And now he'd be right glad, he owns,
To get a chance to walk!

economic questions of the day.. 1t is
symptom of returning health when the
drama turns to these live questions
for it's themes and deserts for Nne nonce
the eternal sex problem. 1t is fur-
ther indicative of wholesome tenden-
cies when the drama without indulging
in wearisome preachments of oftenslVe
didacticism, finds itself discussing Such
themes fairly and without appeal to
unworthy prejudices.
"The Battle" is frankly a play of
capital against labor, of individualism
against collectivism, of rich against
poor, of class against class 1t is not
an attempt to decide this battle or to
award the victory to one side or the
other. But it does present striking
and truthful picture of such a con-
I test as might easily occur in real life.
And the characters who typtfy the two
sides are, for the first time In such
play humanity possible. The capital
ist is not a monster who ruthlessly
crushes out all opposition, but man
who believes in the modern system OF
commercialism and can give cogent
reasons for the faith that is in him.
The reformers are not ideallZed into
impeccable heroes, but show human
weaknesses. The battle makes the play,
| but it is not a twisted ana one-slued
view of the struggle.
"The Battle'' has scored the success
it reserves, and Mr.. Moffett has done
the drama and it's patrons a great SER
vice. He has demonstrated that 1T Is
| possible, practicable and profitable to
| take a safe and sane view of great
questions on the stage, just as much as
it is on the hustings, in the pulpit or
on the ditorial tripod.
Mr.. Lackaye, in the role of Haggle-
ton, a man of many millions, propo-
| nent of the rights of capital, so inter-
| ested John D, Rockefeller in the pre-
sentation Of this character that the oil
magnate voluntarily contributed ideas
| and speeches to be made use of by
Haggleton in expounding his cause.
Spurred by this, the Socialists of New
| York held a mass meeting and en-
deavored to agree on the ideas and
speeches to be used. by the SocaHstlc
| characters of the play, all of which
tended to arouse keener interest and
to call attention to the plays sane
and reasonable treatment of a big
theme.
Mr.. Lackaye's company and produc-
tion have the stamp of Liebler & Co.
MASON-New York has been laugh
ing over the amusing complications of
"Seven Days" for so many months
that the farce-comsdy has become al
most fixture in the metropolis. The
Astor theater has been playing to
crowded houses for over season, ana
now that the laughter-provoking piece
is to be seen at the Mason opera house
for week commencing tomorrow
night there is sure to be considerable
interest concentrated on that play
house and it's attraction. The COM
pany comes direct from three weeks
engagement at the Columbia theater'
San Francisco, where all records IN
the history Of farce-comedy were
broken
Aubrey Beatty has been playing the
Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-11

production on any stage at the Grand
opera house Sunday afternoon.
Because of it's unusual and dramatic
events this case has attracted wide
attention. In the play Mr.. -Tichenor
has followed the case very closely,
changing the names of the characters
but slightly and adding a few char
acters which will furnish much comedy
throughout. Only Tuesday last Miss
LeneVe was acquitted as an accom-
plice in the murder. But that Will
make no change in the play, as Mr..
Tichenor has made the typist his hero
inc, and we, find a bright love story
between her and Inspector New.
The play opens in a Brooklyn music
hall, where DR.. Harley H. Grippen, in
real life DIR. Crippen; Estelle Moore,
Belle Elmore, and Ethel Aire Ganeve
as Ethel Claire Leneve. From here
Mr.. Tichenor takes the action of his
play to DR.. Crippen's reception room
| In London, where he and his stenogra-
pher, dressed in male attire, have
hair-breadth escape from the police.
The next act shows them aboard the
steamer Santrose and-~the last act is
! a scene in the jail in Quebec.
Chester stephens has been selected
| to play the role of DR.. Harley H.
| Grippen and is exceptionally well suit
ed to the part. The role of Ethel Aire
Ganeve will be in the hands of Iva
Shepard, while George Webb will be
seen as Henry New, Lillian Haywarp
| as Estelle Moore and Joseph De Grasse
as Detective McMarty. Scenically the
production will be the biggest and
! most spectacular ever given on the
Grand stage.
LEVY'S-Bob Albright starts his
sixth and last week at Levy's Monday,
! Rocci ctn her third week
/ Grace Belmont her third, while the
! Dobes- Borel duo will be seen for the
/ first time in this city. These eccen-
trio dancers and singers have proven
! themselves one of the most entertain
ing acts now in the vaudeville world,
and at the close of their season in this
city they leave for New York to play
Orpheum time. Many of their steps
are new, some especially eccentric and
difficult, as they are combinations from
the individual acts they had number
| Of years ago. Their singing of the
late songs is good, and as their act is
costumed, it is doubly entertaining.
The Countess Olga Rossi continues
to please with the elegance of her, cos
tunes. This entertaining little woman
has had a decidedly varied career
During the many years away from
her native country of Russia she has
acquired a finish that is gained by few
of the vaudeville artists of today. For
next week she promises number of
songs from the operettas in which she
was most popular In st. Petersburg
and Warsaw, some Of them she will
| sing in the vernacular.
For his last week in this city Bob
| Albright has arranged complete
change Of program, repeating the yodle
song of ]. X Emmetts which is de-
manded before his departure on every
appearance.
Grace Belmont has prepared a new
series of songs. This popular little
singer daily makes new friends tor

exactly as the most captious would
have it.
Mr.. Stone will play the role of Ste
phen ", king of Bosnia, and he will
be found to be splendidly equipped for
the part. Richard Vivian, who will
round out his sixth consecutive year
as a member of the Belasco company,
will have the important role of Rob-
ert Trainor, a hustling young Ameri-
can business man, who is a very man
ly and lovable fellow, no matter from
what angle he is viewed. Mr.. Yerance
will be seen as the prime minister,
who accompanies the young queen to
this country, and Mr.. Ruggles, Mr..
Giblyn, Mr.. Andrews, Mr.. Applebee,
Miss harrington, Miss Sullivan, Miss
Lowry and Miss Lewis will all be
found in roles of Importance.
Miss Kelly will have the part of
Anna Victoria, queen of Herzegovina,
about whom the incidents of the play
revolve. 1t will afford the new lead
ing lady of the Belasco company an
admirable opportunity to prove her
worth as an actress, while 1t will also
give her a chance to display a number
II handsome gowns.
BURBANK-Even with two extra
matinees the second week of Salvation
Nell' at the Burbank was not sufficient
| to satisfy the demand for seats for this
| great production, and E. B. Sheldon
maSterful drama of love and redemp-
| ton will be given another week. This
| is one of the most interesting perform
ances given by any stock company, and
it would be impossible to any organiza-
| ton that had not led up to 1T by a
series of high class productions in the
last few months. 1t is the climax OF
the most wonderfully successful season
| that the Burbank, popular for many
years, has ever seen, and 1t is fitting
celebration of the eleventh anniversary
| of this theater. In the entire clever
years Manager Oliver Morosco never
has had such splendidly equipped
company, ready for anything from
comedy to tragedy, from George M
Conan to Shakespeare.
| "Salvation Nell' is liked because II
| deals with the primal phases of life. II
contains no involved analysis of soci-
! illogical questions, no perplexing sez
problems, no queer theories of the
rights of man and woman. 1t is 9
plain, everyday picture Of men anC
women who love and hate just as
| strongly-yes, more strongly than those
who sit by and theorize, for they love
and hate without self-control and with
out continually counting the cost. The
leaven Of this somber world of the
slums is the Salvation Army workers
reclaiming the fallen and outcast from
death and worse, and the play teaches
the possibility Of ultimate redemption
in a manner convincing to the most
| calious. Marjorie Rambeau and Byron
Beasley are supreme in the two lead
ing roles, and the big Burbank com
pany is supplemented with fifty auxil-
larry players. and the scenic features
are wonderfully complete.

and capable singing. Kammermeyer
has promised some novelties for the
beginning of the cooler weather.
LOS ANGELES-Henry Lee, clever
portrayer of famous men. past and
present, will be feature of the Sulli-
van & Considine bill opening at the
Los Angeles theater with the matinee
Monday. Mr.. Lees Offering will in
clude likenesses Of Theodore Roose-
welt, Abraham, Lincoln, President Taft,
Gen. Grant, Pope Leo XIII and the
late Mark Twain. Mr.. Twain's vocal
peculiarities have been portrayed with
such accuracy that Mr.. Lee has re-
ceived the highest Endorsement of the
most distinguished critics. He not only
assumes the form, feature, face and
limb of these celebrities, but actually
becomes the men themselves by means
of diction and style.
Another offering will be Alice Mort
lock and her company, presenting
Charles w. Doty's tabloid drama, 'The
other Woman" The plot of this play
let concerns the sorrows and vicissi-
tudes of a woman who has been en-
tranced by the amiable Wooings of a
young physician. She is deserted by
the physician, who then marries an
other. The outcast through adverse
circumstances meets the wife of her
former husband in his own home and
is discovered there by the physician
Here Mr.. Doty has drawn a wonder
fully powerful climax.
Zinell and Boutelle will be seen in
their amusing musical comedy, 1.-TWO
Hundred and Thirty-seven Miles from
New York" Mr.. Zinell portrays the
character of a stranded actor and Miss
Boutelle that of a disconsolate actress
Will Davis is an accomplished hu-
morist who will offer a monologue and
some original songs The Scott .broth-
ers have series of equilibristic spe-
cialties, including their exclusive feat
known as "the loop the loop" Altar
eta Simmons and Ryan and Worth
are a sprightly trio who will offer new
songs and dances.
MAJESTIC-"The Battle" a play
written by Cleveland Moffett and in
which Wilton Lackaye has achieved
one of the most impressive successes of
his long career, will be shown at the
Majestic theater tomorrow night and
during the week. Following as 1t does
a rollicking farce, its serious note will
be welcome to the many who seek var
led courses in their dramatic pabulum.
"The Battle' created widespread inter-
est during it's season of presentation in
New York and awakened a degree of
discussion that is rarely aroused by a
play. There was no question as to It's
entertaining qualities-the differences
of opinion arising from Mr.. Moffett,s s

BELASCO-The sixth anniversary of
the Belasco theater will be celebrated
Monday night. The play that has
been selected for the event is Chan
ming Pollock's comedy, "Such Little
Queen" While 1t will be the first
performance of this notable success
in Los Angeles, the occasion will take
on additional Importance from the fact
that Lewis S. Stone will make his re-
appearance at the head of sthe Belas-
co company, after a six weeks vaca-
ton, while Eva Kelly, the new Belasco
leading lady, wills face her first local
audience.
In New York last season, Mr.. Pol
locks play was one of the successes
Of the season. 1t represents Mr.. Pol
lock at his very best as playwright
of undeniable technical skill and in
genuity, while the story of the play
is at once novel and of exceptional in
terest. 1t concerns a young queen OF
a kingdom situated in the Balkans
who on account of a revolutionary up
rising is compelled to flee to America
Her departure having been made SC
rapidly, she is unable to secure funds
to establish herself in her new home
free from the necessity of earning her
sustenance. Accompanying the young
queen in her retreat is an old friend
her prime minister. Instead of being
of assistance to her, his lack of knowl-
edge of worldly matters proves a dis
tinct hindrance. The young queen
secures a position as a clerk in an
of1ca and the strange situation of a
member of royalty being compelled to
compete with American girls in order
to secure even the bare necessities OF
life provides the dramatist with ma
terial for a play of SURPRISING merit
OF course there's a young king-also
in this country without funds for very
much the same reason that the queen
is penniless, and the love story is de-
lightfully told while the play ends

warm hearted interest in these pro-
ceedings and will be out in force.
Miss Yaw and those who are to ap-
pear with her are manifesting an
equal delight in the concert and arc
arranging a brilliant program. The
famous Southern California prima
donna will be heard in number of
classics, in excerpts from her greatest
operatic successes and in ballads and
songs dear to every heart.
Also to appear are Jay Plowe, a
futist of international reputation and
accounted one of the foremost virtuosi
in the royal orchestra of Berlin, and
Mrs. Mary Newman, pianist and &C
companist.

KAISER ASSERTS HE IS
INSTRUMENT OF GOD
German Ruler Pledges Himself to
Maintain Military Standards.
SPEECH CAUSES SHARP CRITICISM
Wave Of Protest Throughout Empire When
Kaiser said Re Rules by Gods
Fres Grace.

K0enigsburg, Germany. -P Proclaim
ing himself an instrument of the
Lord, Kaiser Wilhelm pledged himself
TO maintain Germans military stand
ing at high level The sentiments
were expressed In a toast 10 East
Prussia, given at a banquet here. The
kaiser said:
We are ready to keep our armor
without flaw, seeing that our neigh
boring powers have made enormous
progress, Looking upon myself as an
instrument Of the Lord, regardless OF
the views and opinions of the hour, /
will go my way, which is devoted
solely to the well-being and peaceful
development of the fatherland."
Berlin, Germany. The speech de-
livered by Emperor William Of Ger
many before the provincial banquet
at Koenigsburg, in which he reiter.
ated and emphasized his belief in the
divine mandate by which he rules, re-
ferred to the Prussian crown as be-
slowed by Gods grace and not by
parliament's or peoples assemblies
and laid q lance against the present
movement for women suffrage, is the
political sensation of the hour.
The leading organs Of the German
press devote extended comment to it,
generally criticising the emperor's ut.
terances, and there are indications
that the discourse will have a deep
political effect on the country, nearly
all the Berlin papers discussing the
subject In connection with the politi-
cal crisis of November, 1908, when the
publication by the London Daily Tele-
graph Of an interview with the EN-.
peror aroused storm against the
uncontrolled public speaking of the
Emperor. ts
CriticIsing the suffragette move
ment the kaiser reminded the house
wives OF his empire 1t was his belief
they should rule the world from the
Preside and the cradle, and, inciden-
tally, added that women should fur.
nish the inspiration for heroic mill
tarisn.
German women, said the emperor,
should learn from Louise Of Russia
that their duty does not lie in par
ticipating in public meetings and So
cieties nor in attaining supposed
rights in the exercise OF which they
may be able to do the same things as
men, "but in quiet work at home and
the family"
London, England, The Times in an
editorial dealing with the speech OF
Emperor Wilhelm says:
History is not likely to regard it
as an accident that the two figures
whose eloquence reached farthest in
the western world OF their day should
have insisted in Language so similar
In It's directness and force on the
simple human obligations which men
and women were seeking to escape
Emperor William and Colonel Roose-
welt do not preach from the same text,
but the moral of their preaching is
the same"
