An intensely exciting and thrilling story based on the San Francisco earthquake entitled When the Earth Trem bled,'' was shown for the first time in the city at the Lyric theatre yesterday afternoon and evening to large and appreciative audience. The photo drama is one of the most thrill ing productions ever placed on a mo- ton picture screen and the scenes of the disaster are very realistic and a remarkable achievement. This won derful produ ction is in three reels, ca oh reel bringing forth more thrills and sensations than the preceding one.
 Views of the action and proceedings of the murder trial iR Kieve, Russia, of Mende1 Beilis, who was arrested and charged with killing a man in ac- cordance with the Jewish ritual, were screened. This trial has been of keen interest to every civilized country in the world and has created more ex- citement than any trial since that of Dreyfus.

''Bunny Gray" Is Crap Shooter Of
 Vaudeville Circuit

''She is the champion woman crap shooter of the vaudeville circuits said one of the performers at a To- cal theater about a plainly dressed the stage entrance of the Poli theaer yesterday, accompanied by a woman of middle age.
 Led by curiosity to fathom the ba- sis for the remarks, a reporter who later secured admission to her dress ing room, was surprised to find charming girl putting the finishing touches to her makeup preparatory to appearing.
 Are you. as said, the champion woman crap-ShOOter of the Stage?" asked the reporter.
 ''I am sometimes called that she said. And I..cannot deny that I had rather shoot you for the half than talk with you, for with my mother who l will not have elsewhere but with me at all times, am very lone some at times. and born in the south where craps is better, known than here, I became an adept at the game. But I do not only find excitement in this form of amusement.

The walls of the room were adorned with water-coIor sketches.
 It this contradiction of quail ties that bore the name of Bunny Gray. During her absence from the dressing room her mother consented to tell of her life upon the stage which Miss Gray had previously light 1y e1uded by saying q was brought on the stage in a platter
 My daughter was on the stage at thirteen said Mrs Gray. Both my self and her father were identified with the stage and upon his death my daughter was carried with me un- til she absorbed the very essence of it's glamour and ambitions. Her bari tone voice was natural and although she is twenty years old; besides her love for Omaras works, the others you see, she has craze for playing with dolIs. During her-ztrave1s about the world she has collected that beauti- full array which is but part of the half hundred she has at home.

PARK THEATRE
"WitIlin the Law"

Bayard VeiIer, author of the play Within the Law which comes to the Park Theatre on Dec. 8, g and 10 with a matinee on Wednesday has chosen for the theme of his melodra.ma a cross-section out of the life of a poor shop-girl, who after serving, time for a theft she didn't perpetrate, VOWS to 'tget even which she does by marry ing the son of her former employer. She is not in love or does not believe she is in love with Dick &Gi1der, but marries him to bring disgrace to his father, who was the reals means of sending her to prison. The employer, in order to make an example and stop the petty thievery which has been go- ing on in his department store, takes away her name and gives her a mum ber,' so she decides that she will ''get even'' by taking his name, thus caus- ing the public disgrace that will fol- low the young mans marriage with an ex-convfct. This is part of the plot of MT. VeiIler's play, which is not only full of thrills and stirring situations, but is intersp persed with comedy in the lightest vein. The proof of the pudding is. in the eating Within the Law ran for an entire year at the Eltinge Theatre, New York city, and will be given here with a sp1en- did cast.

When James E. Cooper brings his Beauty, Youth and Folly Company to the Park Theatre next Thursday Inatinne the patrons of that house will find much to admire in the perform ance and production. Mir. Cooper has surrounded himself with such well known performers as Lucia Cooper, Jennie Ross, Dolly Webb, Lottie Blackford, Tom -McRae, Eddie Foley, Joe Madden, George s. Thompson and Mabel Webb. Others in the organiza- tfon have effective parts to play, and there is a large carefully chosen chorus of twenty-four pretty girls
 From descriptions that have preceded this show it may be taken for granted that performance of unusual merit and enjoyment may be anticipated.
