Violet Dale, the charming mimicwith a number of new and clever im-personations, the Mlllman trio, tightrope walkers; Howard brothers, theYankee Doodle boys, Josephine Ainsley

and Jacob's dogs furnish other attrac-tive features of the program.

Enoch Hoch, Jane Elton and com-pany in "Mile Riccl" form a secondheadllner of the new bill this week andalthough there is a great deal of horseplay in the performance the sketch iscarefully handled and gives a pleasing

effect.

O'Brien and Havel, in "Ticks andClicks," have returned to Los Angeles

after an absence of many months andthe oldtlme favorites were given awarm welcome at their initial perform-ances yesterday afternoon and even-ing at the Orpheum. Their new sketchdeals with the adventures of a newstenographer and an office boy in abroker's office. The playlet winds upwith an imitation of how a drunkenman makes his way home in the earlymorning hours. They responded toseveral curtain calls.

At the Orpheum

Mossier was arrested on a charge ofassault with a deadly weapon.

In telling the story of the shootingThompson says he was entirely toblame and the whole affair was an ac-cident. He admitted that he had beendrinking.

While the detectives were going toMossier 1*home they met Thompson Incharge ofDetective Craig. He had beenshot through the mouth, and his leftJaw was fractured. He was sent to

the receiving hospital, where his in-juries wer« dressed by Police SurgeonQuint.

"When Iwent back to the front yard

Thompson broke away from his motherand started for me. As he did so Idrew my revolver and, thinking thathe was going to strike me, Iflred oneshot. He started after me and Irandown the street to escape. As soon asIascertained he was not following

me Itelephoned for the police."

"When he made this announcementhis mother walked up to and placedher arms about his neck. Fearing thathe might carry out his threat Iwentinto the house and secured my revol-ver, which is always in my bedcham-ber.

Feared an Attack

"Thompson and Ilive together withhis mother at 1821 Mono street andwhen he returned to the house thisevening he was intoxicated," saidMossier in tellinghis story to the de-tectives. "When he entered the yard

he declared he would shoot the firstperson that spoke to him.

The police received a telephone mes-sage from Mossier that he had shot

Thompson and said he would meet the

officers at the Salt Lake saloon on EastFirst street. Detectives Talamantesand Rich were sent to investigate theshooting and found Mossier waiting

for them at the appointed place.

Oliver Thompson, 1321 Mono street,

was shot through the Jaw by his cousin,

William Mossier, last night Accordingto the statement of Mossier at the city

He was riding at a rapid rate ofspeed when, in attempting to make asharp turn in one of the park paths, hewas thrown violently to the ground.

ROOSEVELT APPOINTS- SUCCESSOR TO LOOMIS

The engagement is for the week, andthe opening house, filled to the doors,

will probably be repeated every night.

Madge Carr Cook is Mrs. "Wiggs—

she is the character and that is the

supreme praise. More were unneces-sary. Bessie Barrlscule succeeds Ma-ble Talllaferra as Lovey Mary and iswholly satisfactory. Helen Lowell is

the caricature. Miss Hazy, and though

the part is vastly overdrawn, she is su-premely lugubrious in her mirth andmirthful In her mournfulness. CharlesCarter is excellent as Hiram, and theauxiliary characters, especially thechildren, are well taken, in the main,

though the deputy sheriff might botermed "a fright."

And as the vein of humor that mean-ders through this affair is as rich as"Ecotty's" mine in fun and fun-makingpossibilities, and as itis worked freely

and fully,itmay be said honestly andunqualifiedly that there is a fine night's

entertainment in "Mrs. "Wlggs." forcritic or lay play-goer alike, and onehas no business to complain if his"dramatic verities" are shocked, for

he has no right to expect any anyhow,

and is fooling Ifhe wants or missesthem.

The play presupposes not only aknowledge of the book that gave It aname, but of its sequel. "Lovey Mary."

Provided one has this clever seriesfresh In mind, one sees a processionof the well authenticated characterspass and repass, often without any dra-matic reason, but never unwelcome:one hears the bright and optimistic ut-

terances of Mrs. Wlggs, the plaintivepessimisms of Miss Hazy and ram-bling remarks of Hiram, the pathos

of Lovey Mary and all the rest; onebeholds the Cabbage Patch true to itsLouisville prototype, and one knows

that in the main one has caught a truepicture of life there, for such life hasno plot and no dramatic essentialswhatever.

This is not a fault. In this case, forthe odd characters In this much readstory are sufficient in themselves to

entertain an audience for three hourseasily without any plot whatever, and

really the play would be better were

the dragged-in one eliminated. For thebook abounds In those quaint touchesof humanity and odd bits of life thatare far and away above the limitationsof melodrama, and in most instancesthe adapter has maintained the stand-ard set by the author In transferringthem to the stage.

Droll Characters"Mrs. Wlggs of the Cabbage Patch,"

with which the Mason opened a week'sengagement last night, has one lackwhich is essential to a drama— dramaticaction.

Large Audience at Mason Applauds

ItIs a play more worth seeing thananything given in Los Angeles for a

Itwas almost too great a produc-

tion to stage Inone week. There wasdifficulty In mastering the JapaneseInflections for many of the actors.Outside of the leading role favorablemention should be made of the excel-lent work of George Barnum, RobertDempster, Richard Vivian, 'WilliamYerance and Margaret Langham. Allof these were unusually good and al-though only in unimportant parts Mr.Dempster and Miss Langham distin-guished themselves beyond anythingthey have done recently.

Miss Crosby was a great success inthe leading role. Her tones and ges-

tures were so artistic and so excellentlysustained as to impart a sense of real-ity-which not even Blanche Bates wasable to attain. She was grace personi-

fied and she projected a personalitythat won the audience from her firstentrance.

In the last act there are three won-derful scenes— a street in Tokio, thecustoms pier at Yokohama and the

final triumphant scenic achievementpresenting the Yokohama bay by moon-night. The lighting effects through-

out are startling but nowhere on thestage has real water been so trulyrep-

resented as this bay scene. Here thecrazed and broken heartd Kohammawades out until beyond her depth thewater closes in above her head. It

sends the audience out of the theater in

an Impressive silence.

There Is one particularly strong

scene in the reception room of the

Otowaya tea house where KohammaSan dissembles her true feelings underthe guise of merry making. At thispoint Miss Juliet Crosby, who playedthe leading role, rose to her greatest

art.

Here enters the American man who

falls in love with Kohamma San. ItIs her first taste of genuine happiness

but it is short lived. Made to realize,

after the "affair"has progressed many

months, that she is compromising theman she loves, she gives him up asCamille did Armond and she teacheshim to hate her by returning to hergeisha life.

The story laysbare the geisha worldwith what may be accepted on sus-picion as correct "local color." Inany

event the coloring is extremely pictur-

esque and delightful. The play openswith a scene of the garden and villaofa wealthy Japanese baron. The flutter-ing geisha girls, the queer lights, theathletic games all form a continuouspicture made perfect to the smallestdetail.

'

It Is CamlUe in a Japanese setting.

Stripped of the weird and oriental at-mosphere, upon which most of theJapanese plays rely for their popular-ity, it would still be a great drama.

Though It is a "problem" play thehabits and customs of the people with

whom it deals robs it of unpleasant

taste found in the English brand. Likemany ofits kinditturns tragedy at theend.

The California product is straight,legitimate, honest drama without hys-

terics and the only torture chamber is

the heart of the geisha where the soulof poor Kohamma San Isracked.

Frederic Belasco in this has become

hia brother's rival and marvelous as

•we» the scenic effects of"The Darling

of the Gods" there are spectacles In

••The Heart of the Geisha" which sur-

pass them and are achieved without the

melodramatic "plays to the gallery" to

which Brother David stooped to trickhis audience.

Much was expected of "The Heart of

the Geisha," which opened at the Ba-

laeco yesterday afternoon, but although

San Francisco cheered itself hoarse In

its praises not half has ever been told,

and the two audiences yesterday were

amazed by the beauty, strength and

appeal of the production.

Miss Formosa Henderson's work as"Mlchaela" in "Carmen" proved her tobe an artist. Mrs. Rowan's "Carmen"scored a hit, but the scene from "Ca-vallerla Rustlcana" was perhaps themost enjoyed, as Mme. Genevra John-stone-Blshop had ample opportunity toshow her versatility in the role of"Santuzza." Mr. Zlnck was especiallyhappy in his role of "Turridu" andsang it well, but the charm of thisscene was the dainty and coquettishacting of little Miss Florence MiriamJohnstons and the lyric sweetness ofthe beautiful, fresh, clear voice in the

In "IITrovatore" Madame LoletaLevete Rowan took the role of "Azu-cena" admirably. Her voice, a rich con-tralto, was heard at Its best in thisdramatic part. Johann Hoal Zlnck'sacting was good and his clear tenorstood out well in the role of "Manrlco."

Grand Opera at VeniceScenes from grand opera were given

In Venice auditorium Monday evening

with pronounced success. "IITrova-tore," "Carmen" and "Cavallerla Rua-tlcana" were the operas selected forpartial presentation.

Itis expected that Mr. Loomls willrelinquish his office ina short time andhis resignation will take effect at theconclusion of a. leave of absence whichhe proposes to take. No statement ismade concerning his possible future inofficial life,- but afl heretofore notedIn these dispatches, his appointment toan. important diplomatic post Is prob-lematical,

Mr.Bacon was here today as a. guestof President and Mrs. Roosevelt atluncheon.

For years Robert Bacon has been animportant figure in the business equa-tion of New York. Until within com-paratively recent months he was ajunior partner in the banking house ofJ. P. Morgan & Co. At the settlementof the anthracite coal strike by Presi-dent Roosevelt, Mr. Bacon represented

Mr. Morgan In two conferences inWashington which made for an ami-cable adjustment of ths trouble. Sub-sequently, when Mr.Bacon retired fromthe firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., thepresident determined to utilize his ser-vices Ifa suitable place for him couldbe found.

The announcement was accompaniedby a statement that Mr. Bacon wouldnot assume the duties of his office forsome time, perhaps not until about themiddle of October, after Secretary Roothad become settled In the office of sec-retary of state.
