 Way up in the Bronx. that almost

 Greater New York. they are this week
 trying out a new play at the Bronx
 opera house, which should be of tre-
 mendous interest to q hugh public.
 This play which the Bronx will see
 before downtown Broadway gets chance to look at is a dramatiZa-
 ton of Vaughan Rosters novel, The
 Prodigal Judge"
 Few novels of recent years have crept into the hearts of the general
 public as has this story of that low able old humbug the judge. It would seem to us that it would be next to impossible to make this story over into acceptable play form; but it cer tainly is to be hoped that the author. George Middleton. will succeed in do- ing so. for if he can transfer that atmosphere and those quaint charac- ters from the book so that they will be living breathing humans and not mere lay figures that adorn, or clut- ter up, a stage. he will be doing service to the whole of theaterdOm. The dramatization follows the book ! closely and none of the characters whom every reader of the book loved

 In all the wide realm of stageland there is but one Eva Tanguay You may hate her or love her. there is seldom an in-between in her case, but you must admit that there is nobody who is even q little bit like her. and there is not another man or woman on the vaudeville stage, with the possible exception of Harry Lauder. who can pack a theater four teen times a week as she can. Pos sibly MT. Lauder may have drawn larger audiences; but he is only here once in a while, while Eva like the roor is always with us.

DRAMA
IS HAPPENING
 HERE THIS WEEK

At the Glks on Tuesday our old friend The Rosary will be seen and hoard once more. This play is so well known that it calls for no comment. Few plays have achieved it's popularity in recent years; it played to a full house before and win doubtless do it again.
 At the Hart the dancing lessons by Wallace McCutcheon and Joan Sawyer will surely take place this week. This great film was to have been here two weeks ago; but so great was it's popularity that the theaters which had it all held it ov- crtime and consequently the Wig Wam was danceless. With everybody Tango crazy it stands to reason that these films, made by two of the most popular Tango artists of the country, will be immensely poular They will be shown on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and it be- hooves one to get to the Wiswam early and stay late if they would reap the benefit of these lessons by MT. McCutcheon.
 Or Sunday anu Monday The Riddle of the Tin Soldier d two part 'Madelyn Mack detective story with Alice Joyce in the star part will be the feature and "Pete's In- surance Policy" will help fill out the bill.

Democracy didn't get the political
opportunity 1t looked for today when
1t planned to bring Governor West OF
Oregon and the democratic governors
Of other northwestern states to Cali
fornia IN connection with the alien
land bill
Assemblyman j. W. Stuckenbruck OF
San Joaquin introduced resolution to
this effect. but 1t was defeated Il to IL
The vote showed that all except a
handful OF democrats were not in ia
vor Of bringing about situation that
would be embarrassing to the johnson
administration
While BRYAN speeds westward he Is
coming more and more in contact with
situation which may mean that he
will be a somewhat unwelcome guest
He is said to be setting a precedent in
history
NO MOVE UNTIL BRYAN talks
There were several conferences to-
day between the governor and his
leaders OF both houses. but there were
no developments in the alien land bill
situation.
The governor believes that he has
gone rs far as any executive can in
trying to face a serious issue and yet
be courteous and considerate with all
factions
There will be no move on the part
of the administration materially to
cTangesanv of the pending alien bills
until the state has done the national
government the courtesy Of listening
70 what secretarysBrea has to say.
Senator's Thompson and BirdsaIl say
that thew have struggled for weeks to
get billsthat will fit the requirements
of both nation and state, and each be-
lieves that he has the solution.
PREFERENCE TO "ELTGIBLEc
These leaders take the stand that
nothing that they have advanced in
suggesting the introduction of an alien
law has been put forward with malice
toward any race. But in determining
the rights OF races, the eligible citi-
zen' is to be given the preference II
they have anything to say about the
final adjustment of affairs.
When the resolution to invite the
northwest governors to Sacramento
was brought up in the assembly, As
semblymen Wall, GULL. Finnegan and
Polsley spoke favorably.
Assemblyman Guiberson strongly op-
posed the resolution. and. said that 1t
would be undignifed for the state or
any member OF the assembly to favor
something that would mean that the
democratic party would have to go on
record before 1t was time to make the
record part Of national history.
Assemblyman Wall said that he be-
Heved that the matter was one that
affected the entire Pacific coast, and
that 1t was up to the democratic
minority to have democrats of other
states consulted in the matter.
