One of the chief reasons for the

song hits in this production have an
, enduring grasp on public favor, The

its ringing, swinging Heidelberg cho-
rus. The Song of the Cities" and

proven one of the banner weeks of
the local season.
Each act Is of high order and
there are several performers rched-
uled to appear here, at the first per-
Torrance this afternoon, who come to
the vaudeville stage with a reputation
of note already made on the legitimate

gram is one of variety. 'as was that OF
the first three days OF the week, and
there are bookings which will appeal

SEES TRADE S1lMUL L0US
 IN WAR WITH IIIEx xlcl

New Yorlx. ] April Consolation is found by Nelson, Cook & Go In the fact that war with Mexico will be advantageous to our commercial and industrial instit tutions and business generally. They say:
 cit may be expected that the very large expenditures of the government in the prosecution Of this war and its inan ense requirements in the shape of material. supplies, arms, anm unitfon and transportation cannot fail to pro- duce great activity in all branches of trade.
 Such recovery and revolution in trade conditions cannot fail to have a very favorable in1uence upon the market values of securities.
 eIf experience is worth anything in determining future events, we have only to remember what happened in this country upon the declaration of war with Spain
