Robin Hood, Maid Marian, Alan-a
Dale, Friar Tuck and AnabelI--are
interpreted by an exceptionally cap
able company. An augmented or
chestra will introduce the popular
score for which the opera owes much
OF its success
A big added feature will be Daniel
Frohman's well known star in the
marine detective drama, THE Port OF
DOOM" presented in FIVE filmed acts.
The best evidence that the movies
of today have advanced to an enor-
nous degree over the films of only
few months back is found in the
pictures of the seven part David
sCopperfield," being shown this week
at the Portola theater in Market
street.
The makers OF this film have kept
in touch with the atmosphere created
in the story by Dickens, and every
one of the characters appears as
though he or she had stepped from
between the leaves of the book. The
last presentation will take place next
Saturday night.
A great co1ored feature of many
scenes, picturesque in the extreme
and called THE Doom of the Ocean,"
will be part OF next weeks special
holiday program.

HER ART IS
HER BLOOD
AND BREATH
THE IMMENSELY OF CALVES
CHARM SPRINGS FROM THE Im.
MENsITY OF HER FEELING.

THE immensity Of Calves charm:
springs frcm the intensity Of her feel
ing. Every note she utters is spell"
There are the words Of famous writ
er. "Art with some is 4 magnificent
accomplishment. With others is is Il
grand serious passion. With her.
however, art is the blood and the
breath of life; the buoyance as well
as the joyance Of her very being. The
physical and phych'cal are so subtly
blended in this unique woman that 1t
hardly savors OF poetic exaggeratton
to say that her whole body sings.
Listening to some signers, one can
shut the eyes and feel nothing but the
delicious music. Shut your eyes to
Calve and you will see and feel her
in every note. Her slightest look, her
lightest motion on the stage can suf'
fice to stir what one nigh tstyle the
rhythmic sense, and when she sings,
the correspondence between certain
colors and certain sounds ceases to
be a fable~of the poet and becomes a
proven certainty OF the physicist al
ways containing simultaneously more
than a hint Of the psychicai mystery
likewise"

dent, vas removed from the peniten'
tiary at 8 o'clock this morning and
executed. 1t Is presumed that this
was done By order of Felix Diaz, un'
der the notorious fugitive law.
Francisco Madero was later taken
under heavy guard from the Nation
al Palace and lodged in the arsenal.
There he was a prisoner OF General
Diaz, in the very place in which, for
over week, he had caused TO be bat
tered with cannon in his efforts to
subdue the rebel army. Had Madero
succeeded in defeating Diah there
seems little doubt that bloody repris'
ais would have been made.
Those who should die" Is the cap
ton Of an official Maderoist document
found last night. In the list Of pra
scrlbed there were % names of prom,
inent men, including De La Barra and
DR.. Gomez.
Since the first few minutes after
arrest, Madero has maintained a
solemn silence, refusing to answer
questions and waving his questtoners
of with characteristic nervous gues
lures. He also has refused to eat.
After Gustave Madero's arrest yes
terday. and during his removal
through the streets, the crowds were
wildly excited, and even made efforts
to lay their hands upon him. Gustave
was at one time Minister of Finance
OF Mexico. He visited the United
States carly in 1911.

Gen. Huerta, after all formal ar
