Repertoire Of Musical Comedies.
The big spectacular Bell Boy mu-
steal comedy company will open four
nights engagement at the opera house
Jan. 81.
The company this season is carry
ing thirty people and special sixty
foot baggage car of scenery and et-
fects so that nothing in the way OF
scenery, wardrobe. mechanical or
electrical effects will be repeated dur
ing the entire engagement. Over hYe
thousand dollars has been spent by
the management In building up rep
ertoire of real musical comedy pro-
ductions, all the very newest, A Bell
Boy being the only last seasons bill
Included in this new repertoire is The
Man Question" one of the most sue
cessful musical shows ever written;
tZira From Turkey" gorgeous
oriental musical comedy and the well
known New York success, The Two
Masqueraders."
Any one of these bills is guaran-
teed to be up to the standard of any
of the $3.50 musical comedies on the
road. Here is what the San Jose,
California, Morning Tribune says of
"A Bell Boy: "a success which will
probably equal If not surpasS that
which was scored hero by the great
Gingerbread Man last spring. is the
notable scenic and musical triumph
The house was literally packed to the
doors and many declared the show to-
be the best ever seen in San Jose,
Though not so large and imposing an
aggregation as the Gingerbread Man.
"A Bell Boy was far superior to the
latter in the matter of scenery and
electrical effects and the chorus, while
smaller, was better trained and SUI
perior in singing and dancing. The
jokes were all new and the comedy in
general bright, clean and up-to-date.
The show introduced many specialties
and every show was a feature. The
famous electrical moon scene which
the Gingerbread Man was unable to
use here was put on last night with
fine effect. and the colored electrical
scenes were handled admirably"
This company is now carrying
twelve big electrical numbers. every
one of which is up to a standard of
the moon scene. Included among them
are the famous Red Mill" scene, the
Automobile" ''the "Airship," the
Swings" and many other bewildering
and dazzling effects.

PROMOTING DATE INDUSTRY

F. Q. Popenoe, president and general
manager Of the West India gardens at
Altadena. has been spending a few days
in the Imperial valley. looking for land
which may be utilized for planting
ABOUT 1000 date trees. Agents of the
West India gardens are now endeav0r-
irg to obtain 10000 Off-shOots which
will be shipped to Altadena as soon
as possible. and from there will be dis
tributed through southern California.
These OffshOOts are worth from Sc
to So each. and if the desired number
can be obtained will be sufficient to
set out 1000 acres in date trees. Mr.
Popenoe made an effort to have The
various cities OF the valley take ad-
vantage of this opportunity to obtain
date trees, to be used in the develop
ment of the public parks and the vari

gone into date production on a COM

The new high school is the most no

SO far advanced that school will open

will still be some finishing work to be

TO ADO TO STABILITY
OF IRRIGATION BONDS

A. l.. Cowell, secretary Of the Irri :
cation District Association OF Califor-
mia, was in town yesterday and held
a conference with Secretary Melton
and Directors Ferguson and Pound Of
the irrigation district regarding pro-
posed legislation affecting bonds of
irrigation districts.
There are two lines on which addi-
tional legislation is desired. One Of
these is to provide more rigid scrutiny
Of the districts by the commission,
with view to strengthening the Sc
curity Of the bonds.
The second line is to amend the
provision for per cent interest on ir-
rigation district bonds, as the bonds
are not readily salable at that rate,
and higher interest seems TO be re-
Quired to dispose Of them.
