cent Of the 1916 San Francisco Pre-.

Attorney Edwin V. Mckenzie
filed three pictures to confirm the
authenticity of other photographs
previously submitted by Wade Ham
ilton showing Mooney and his wife
on the roof of the Eilcrs building
here at the time the parade was
marching up Market street The
later pictures were taken a short
time after the explosion had occur
red, killing 10 persons, and showed
Hamilton himself on the Eilers
building, according to Mckenzie
Other photographs, made on the
advice of Father jerome S. Ricard,
'padre Of the rains, were offered
to substantiatc the Hamilton pic

pictures made exactly Il wear after

Mckenzie, coincide as to shadows

DESCRIBES "TRIP TO GREAT
MOHAVE DESERT

Again it is my pleasure to enter
tain, for few moments, my friends
of dear old Ohio. / shall descrie
briefly. a few of the sights that
have seen here in sunny California
and the ever-Golden West.
1t is almost puzzle to me to fig
ure out just what would interest
you people most, considering the
fact that there are SO many inter-
esting things to be found here-so
/ have chosen for your approval a
short trip to the land of drifting
sands-the desert.
To those of you who have no,
seen the desert,-I imagine that
your ideas are very vague and that
you rather detest the thoughts of
| reading OF such desolate region.
The place / shall describe for you
is part of the great Mohave desert
that surrounds the towns of Barstow
and Victorville here in southern Cal
ifornia, and near the Arizona line.
1t has always been the scene of ex-
ploration and adventure for those
old pioneers who just blazed their
way westward over bloody, Indian
| infested trails.
The desert itself of course is COM
| posed mostly of sand and rock, with
! very little vegetation in sight. In
the oft-times spoken of, wide open
spaces" the eye can see many, many
miles, for the desert is level, gener-
ally speaking. The old expression
that you Ohioans use quite often cit
looks like rain," is almost an un~
heard OF thing on the Mohave desert.
Tor the sun is usually shining and
it very seldom rains. The indus
tries of the desert are few and far
between, therefore we find the in
habitants to be of care free and
easy going nature. Occasionally we
find cement plant such as is to be
found in Victorville, that being the
only industry of the town.
| To the people of other parts OF
the world the desert is a dry and
uninteresting region, with nothing
but drifting sands before their eyes
But strange to say, as we become
better acquainted with the desert
inhabitants, we find that they love
life there just as we like the par
ticular environment that we happen
to be in, and to them big cities with
all of their hurrying ways and
noises, are something to be feared
and scoffed at. The soothing soli-
tude and quietness of the desert con-
stitutes the greater part of their
happiness. If the rest of us would
move to the desert we too would
soon hate the thoughts of returning
to the scenes of activity, where there
is so much noise and so little to re-
mind us of the wonders of nature.
Even though the desert may be
barren and desolate, the cactus and
desert plants are always present
The cactus plants sometimes grow to
a height of several feet and their
construction is much that l still
have my first sight to see of anyone
carrying one home on his back. Hav-
ing seen for myself, l find that they
are full of spikes and needles which

is just one of the ways of protec-
ton used by old Mother Nature.
Sometimes ! think it would be rath-
er handy if human beings were
equipped likewise
AS we find little lumber on the
desert, the buildings are low and US
ually constructed of stone, and at
ter the building is up it sure doesn't
take one long to see that very lit
tie skill and art is used
The country surrounding the town
OF Barstow is very interesting and
incidentally it is this part of the
country that is used for a setting by
a widely known and famed western
novelist. The air is as one might
guess, rather hot and dry. Never
theless it is pleasure to breathe
the air of the desert, as it has the
healthiest climate Of any place in
the world. AS we near the town OF
Barstow we find that the country be-
comes little more rugged, and in
the distance high mountains are to
be seen looming majestically above
the horizon. The town itself, which
consists of but few houses, and
many of the typical westerners with
their high hats, is almost surround
ed by hills of drifting sand. The
wind blows and the tiny grains OF
sand are shifted about until they
finally become mound and some
times hill.
For this reason we find but little
evidence of the works and tolls OF
the early prospectors who dared the
dangers of the bloody Indian tribes
just to find and see that long dream
ed of dull CLEAN of gold. The re-
mains Of Ox-carts and heavy tired
wagons are still strewn along the
trails as mute evidence of some
ones doomed attempt to cross the
l.. great Mohave. And now with the
sun sinking over the hills of the
west and casting great long shad-
ows, is glorious and never to be
forgotten scene. The wind has stop
ped blowing and now all is calm and
peaceful, and now we find ourselves
| marveling breathlessly at the sight
before us. The sun in all it's glory is
not only casting great long shadows.
but also is sending out cleaning col
ors to the four corners of the earth.
1t is scene that can not rightly be
described, nor can any artist paint
the picture as we see it, Colors of
every hue, to the right of us and to
| the left of us and in the heavens
above us-colors of glory every
where, and with all this grandeur
the solitude and harmony Of the
land of drifting sands.-Lee Clair

GEORGE E. WHIT, whose stage Of

that he will continue his policy Of seal

His latest attraction is O new musical
revue, Vanity Fair Of $780," starring
Cecil Lean and Cleo Mayheld, which

heretofore unheard of in the case of an
ambitious musical production, at least
during the past decade and half. Not

Wintz has issued instructions that the
best seats for all evening performances
during the entire tour Of Vanity Fair

from there on down to so cents
Mr.. Wintz explains that in engaging
artists for the cast of Vanity Fair" he
guaranteed q season of not less than 40
weeks and thereby was enabled to as

can be priced at these low figures, which

playgoers.
The experiment so far has, Mr.. Wintz
states, brought crowded houses to this

ITO divorce music from color Is to
commit crime against the art Of

because music creates through the ear
the same impressions Of beauty that
color conveys to the eye. There has
not been single opera stage setting
that can remember which has not
been colorful. In the same way many
modern stage managers use batteries
of colored lights to accompany an or
cheStral selection.
I'm some instances. Of course, this
color had to be subdued to 1T not only
the poverty-Sticken condition of the
artists, such as the garnet in which
Mimi dies in La Boheme,' but also to
suggest the tragedy Of her death.

"As in the past, at this period I am

cause it is still asking whether
Hamlet was actually bereft OF
reason or whether Portia, plead
ing the cause of the Merchant OF
Venice, was not at best a rather
shabby lawyer.
The Stratford-on-Avon Players,
with the customary long roper
tory, gave opportunity for COM
pairing American Shakespeare
with English Shakespeare. Both
are free from manneriSmS of
enunciation supposed to be in
herent in native speech on either
side Of the Atlantic. The STRAIT
ford Players read the lines in di-
rect conversational style, reServ-
ing robust declarations for the
passages which are obviously in
the nature of grafton. The play
erS OF this continent, on the other
hand, are always influenced by q
sense OF the great dignity and i'm
portance of the work in hand, and
reminiscent of times that de-
veloped frank discussion as to
whether in order to be an ideal
Hamlet it was necessary to pos
SesS graveyard voice"
The English attitude toward
Shakespeare has the frank
though deferential familiarity of
StudiouS analysis. The American
attitude Is the more reverential.
The Theater Guild, supposed to
have been specializing more or
less in literary antiques, comes
along with one Of the striking
novelties of the year, familiar only
as it may have become so to stu
dents Of Russian literature. Tur-
genev'S comedy, "a Month in the
Country" is to have it's first pres
entation In the United States at
the National Theater tomorrow.
Nazimova, who is credited with
having the most versatile counte-
nance of the stage because no two
OF her photographs look alike, is
to have a cast with her worthy of
her distinguished reputation, and
the play will have an advantage
over the splendid art productions
OF the Moscow Theater in the fact
that 1t Is in familiar speech that
permits an audience of this land
to know precisely when to laugh
or, possibly, to shed a tear which
even comedy may sometimes
claim.
