DAYS OF OLD
DAYS OF GOLD
DAYS OF '49"
"THE GIRL OF THE GOLDEN
WEST' AT THE GRAND TONIGHT
GIVES VIVID PORTRAYAL OF
MOST PICTURESQUE SCENES
OF THOSE GOLDEN DAYS.

In the play "The Girl of the Golden
West" that comes to the Grand opera
house tonight, we are told that the
days of 40 in California are most pic
turesquely described. Mr.. David Be-
lasco, the noted author certainly hit
on a most realistic theme when he
selected "In the days of gold and the
days of 40" for his most wonderful
and successful play In the history of
all plays written by American authors
"The Girl of the Golden West" has
been the only one ever selected by a
composer of grand opera. Mr.. Fred
erick Belasco, brother of the author
and manager of the Alca2ar theatre,
San Francisco, having engaged Eve
lyn Vaughan and Bertram Lytell for
the stellar roles in this production
together with the Alcazar Theatre
company, which will present Will R
Walling to theatregoers of this city
Mr.. Belasco has also arranged to have
the original scenic production and ef
fects brought on from his brothers
theatre in New York, to produce II
detail a performance that will be IL
keeping with the Belasco name.

THE TIE OF HUMANITY.
(By Katharyn Clarke.)

(By Katharyn Clarke)
The tie of humanity! Oh,what farce!
Yes, in dens that a beast would
despise,
Our brother We herd, as the OK or
the horse;
What care We if he sickens or dies
While others stand eager to grasp in
a trice
His place, should he tremble and
fall?
The blood of our kith is not named
in the price;
Yet brothers we are one and all,
In workshop, in prison, in brothel
in pen,
We enter, communing with God,
And search for the hoof of the devil
within,
The path where our brother has
trod.
His virtues we damn by our silence
and scorn,
We parade his mistakes howe'el
small,
We can't grasp his hand-'tis bleed
ing and torn;
Yet brothers we are one and all.
Christ bade us uplift the fallen an,
low,
And gladly His word we obey.
To the scorn of the world we cheer
fully go
And lift the poor soiled lump c
clay,
Then loudly We herald the deed W
have DONE
And worry lest he again fall.
The right to our doubts he justly ha
won,
Yet brothers we are one and all
Are we brothers in flesh, Can yo
answer me this?
Yes, brothers, estranged from on
kin,
Who with jealousy, hate and Juda
kiss,
Try to rid the great world of its siI
Then let us arouse from this letl
argic sea
And pray that our God may insta
The right unto man a true brotht
to be.
Then brothers we'll seem one and a

Bridgeport, Conn, was recently the
scene Of most remarkable aeroplane
achievement. Not only did II thrill the
vast army of spectators because of the
reckless daring displayed by the bird
men, but il proved beyond all question
that, with the right make of rifle, a
marksman can shoot while flying at
tremendous speed, with the same ac-
curacy as when on the ground.
Army officers have been anything but
satisfied with the results obtained with
the service rifle, and the flight was
planned as a test Of repeating arm OF
other than government make.
The fight took place at the Lake
Aerodrome before 10000 people who
paid admission and far greater num-
ber who occupied points of vantage
upon neighboring hilltops, housetops
and trees.
When Beachy came upon the field, q
violent wind was blowing. Undeterred,
he mounted his seat and was soon
soaring high above. More than once

craft must surely turn turtle and come
crashing to the earth, but every time

In order to overcome the preiudices
of each, Brice invites his friend to
spend a day at his suburban home.
1t is here that Mr. Forbes develops
the complications of this plot and
provides that distinct brand of COM

file of playgoers. He introduces into
the story great many characters typ

NEXT is THE

WEDNESDAY
4 PLAY SPLENDIDLY STAGED AND
PRESENTED BY ONE OF THE
STRONGEST COMPANIES THAT
EVER VISITED THE COAST.

James Forbes, the author, whose
two successful comedies, "The Chorus
Lady" and "The Travelling Salesman"
have contributed unlimited delight to
playgoers all over the country, has
written another play, "The Commut-
ers," and it will be seen at the Grand
opera house for the first time on
Wednesday, November %.
1t is doubtful if any American
author has been able within the past
few years to delineate American types
and portray American life as success
fully as Mr.. Forbes. His Chorus
Lady" proved a gem, and "The TRAY
cling Salesman" was no less enjoy
able; and in "The Commuters" he Is
said to have fully kept pace with the
record set in these two productions,
The new play is under the manage
ment of Henry B. Harris, and was
staged by Mr.. Forbes. The piece is
in four acts and the plot concerns
Larry and Hetty Brice, suburbanitesr
and Sammy Fletcher, a New YORK
