LOSS OF SHIP CRIPPLES ALASKA TRANSPORTATION Bligh Island Reef Scene of Sev- eral Recent Disasters SEATTLE, Dec. 11.—The Alaska Steamship company's steamer Olympia was wrecked on the Bligh island reef, forty miles from Cordova, Alaska, at 12:50 this morning. The only information received hero of the wreck was a brief message from the company's agent at Valdez, saying the ship had gone on the reef. The message sent at 10 o'clock this morning said: "All hands on deck." This is taken as indicating that the passengers and crew were preparing to take to the boats. > The Olympla sailer from Seattle De- camber 6 with twenty-six passengers and several hundred tons of freight. The passengers who went north on the steamer first sailed on the steamer Northwestern which grounded in False bay, San Juan island, early in the morning of December 2, a few hours after sailing from Seattle for the north. The Northwestern'H passengers wore brought back to Seattle and resumed their journey on the Olympla, which was hurriedly put into commission. The Olympia had already called at Cordova, and as only a few passengers were bound for ports west of there it is probable that not more than a dozen passengers were aboard when she struck. The Olympia, an iron screw ship of 2837 tons gross, was built at Glasgow, Scotland, in 1883 and was christened the ' Dunbar Castle. Later she was transferred to American registry and her name changed to Olympla. Her home port is Seattle. She was under command of Capt. J. T. Daniels and was valued at $250,000. . \u25a0' , ': The Bllgh Island reef, where 'the Olympia struck,' ie unllghted. This lo- cality has always been dangerous. Three Alaska liners have been wrecked within a radius of fifty miles of the point where the Olympla struck. They were the Oregon, the Saratoga and the Northwestern. . The Northwestern was salved and repaired at great expense, only to be wrecked again ten days ago. She was floated from her perilous posi- tion In False bay yesterday and brought to .Seattle,- where she is again undergoing repairs. The loss of the Olympla at this time is a serious blow to the transportation facilities of \u25a0 the north. . The ; Alaska Steamship company Is not the only one to suffer in recent wrecks, the Alaska Coast company having lost the steamer Portland at Katalla only a month ago. STEAMSHIP AND LAUNCH MAKE HASTE TO RESCUE Passengers and Crew Will Be Taken to Valdez VAI,DEZ, Alaska., Dec. 11.—News of the wreck or the Olympia was re- ceived here as soon as tha military cable office opened this morning. The steamer June was at once notified, and at i 0:30 this morning put out into the storm to go to the assistance of the Olympia. The government launch Fort Liscum followed two hours later. The mail steamer Dora sailed from Seward at H a. m., and should reach the scene of the wreck by midnight. The Dora is a stanch seagoing steam- er and can weather the storm better than the smaller craft and has put out to the assistance of the Olympia from here. It Is probable the Dora will take off the passengers as the smaller iraft cannot approach the wrrck In the storm. As soon as the passengers and crew are rescued they will be brought to Valdez. the scene of the wreck, 20 miles from here, is a small reef extending from the southeast end of Bligh Is- land at the entrance of Tititilik pas- sage. Although only a. short distance from JEllamar, it is exposed to the sea and is swept by tremendous waves whenever there in a gale. Capt. Daniels is thoroughly familiar with the passage, It being the regular route of vessels bound from Seattle and Cordova to" Valdez. At the""north- wast end of Bligh Island is Bushy point, where the steamer Saratoga was wrecked three years ago. The steamer Oregon was wrecked in 1906 in the same vicinity. CREW CLAMBERS ON BANK AS DAMAGED BARK SINKS GREENOCK. Scotland, Dec. 11.— The French bark Elizabeth arrived here today and landed Captain Soderberg and five companions of the barge Bar- oness, with which she came into col- lision off Fire island lightship Novem- ber 19. The Baroness was the stern barge of a tow, while the Elizabeth was bound from New York to Glasgow. The bark struck the barge amidships and the crew of the latter clamored aboard the Elizabeth while the vessels were locked. HOPPER SCORES IN "A MATINEE IDOL" Comedian Returns to Los An- geles for First Time Since Days of Wang HIS NEW PLAY MAKES A HIT Music Is Tuneful and Company Is of Good Supporting Ability De Wolf Hopper, at the Majestic theater last night, played a "straight" comedy part in burlesque style, thus proving that though you may capari- son a comedian In "conventional even- ing black," you cannot change his methods and demonstrating further that you wouldn't If you could. Through hia disguise wo saw the eminent Repent Wang, masquerading as a. modern. We discerned the bom- bastic and craven El Capltan, we recognized the comically puissant Pan- jandrum; and then, when statuesque Louise Dresser bestowed herself upon the capacious Hopper knen, some few of us recalled "Castjes In the Air" and the diminutive comedienne, then at the outset of her career, who from that same point of vantage sang "This Lit- tle Pig Went to Market." All of which is merely a roundabout way of saying that Hopppr is still the name old Hopper. He has grown a trifle stouter since his last visit to Los Angeles—just a trifle; but he is as nimble of wit, as agile of limb and as "nappy In his curtain speech as of yore. That game curtain speech, by the way, always Is an Important part of a Hop- per entertainment. It was as funny last night as anything in the show, and the show, by the same token, was al- most as funny as anything in the cur- tain speech, so there you are. TAKKN FROM MOMEN E The Hopper vehicle this season Is "A Matinee Idol," a two-act comedy with numerous musical interpolations and a girl chorus in kaleidoscopic nnd vari- ous fashioned costumes. The program caUa it a "song comedy success," and perhaps that Is as good a designation us any other. Likewise the program confesses that the plot has been niched from Moliere's "Le Medecin Malgrc Ijul," and if the program in French Is not exactly accurate, at leant its can- dor should atone for that short- coming. Hopper, of course, plays the bogus physician. He Is an actor, down <>" Ills luck, not a maken. of fagots as in the Mollero original; a down-to-date HgWarelle with all modern improve- ments. He undertakes the masque- rade Just as did the fagot maker, for the mom y there is In it and like his famous prototype he, too, finds a pa- tient who is shamming Illness, simulat- ing an affection of the brain to con- cpeal an affection of the heart. The role is rich In comedy opportunities and Hopper makes the most of them, incidentally, in one of the songs, he and mips IjOuis"! WMIW contribute five minutes of travesty—frank, un- ashamed Burlesque tnut is runny enough to draw tears of laughter from a JNlobe. Miss Dresser is a loading woman, | not a prima donna. wne rtoosn't try to sing but she has a knack of send- ing tier songs over tne footlights aimed .straight ror the collective fun- ny Done of ncr audiences. Her rendi- tion of "Liovin" ways" could not Be improved upon Dy Tettrazlnl herself. Then, there Is Ueorgle Mack, a lit- tle chap who might have been a Pepat had he joined the Hopper forces a dec- ade and a half ago, but who really illumines with laugmng gas tne role or jimmie Grant, a jockey who could nave made big money in America it only he nadn't been ruled oft. Also tne're is Dorothy Webb, a soubrette WHOM tortune is In her toes and lid- ward Earle, just a juvenile but a good one. MUSIC HAS LH.TINO SWING The music or "A Matinee Idol" is by Silvio Hem and it nas a lilting swing that makes you want to hear more of It, even tnough the plot is hung up to dry wnile you are listening to the melodies. The best of them are "Auto- graphs," in which iiopper delivers a bit of nonsense verse at the close ol each passage; "Miss lioodle and Her J'oodle," which falls to tUe lot of Miss Dresser; , "Hypnotic Waltz" ensemble mimDer; •'The Dancing uanshee" and "if xou could only Bee yourself as Other People vo." jiopper is runny. 1119 support is competent. Tno piece is laughable and brilliantly costumed. The girls are pretty, youthful and active. What more could you asKV PORTUGUESE CLERICALS ARE GOING TO AUSTRIA Orders Expelled by Republic Planning Invasion VIENNA, Dec. 11.—At the time of the revolution in Portugal anti-clerical circles in Austria raised the demand that something should be done to pre- vent Portuguese monks from settling in this monarchy, which, it is alleged, nlready has far too many religious or- ders of its own. The court and the strongest political parties, however, bo- ing clerical in their sympathies, no measures have been taken to ward off the danger of a Portuguese monkish invasion. This is inevitable, In view of the unfavorable attitude of the oth- er Roman Catholic counfries, and now appears to have begun. According to information from Salz- burg an estate named Mittenwald, In ("arinthia, has been sold for $80,000 to a Portuguese religious order, which bought it for cash in the name of a professor of divinity of Lalbach. Count Ivan .Batthyany, according to a report from Steinamanger, in Hun- gary, is going to make over his castle of Schlaintng, in the neighborhood, for a similar purpose. The castle is di- vided into two parts, and one wing will be adapted for monks and the oth- er for nuns from Lisbon. The Portu- guese monks intend to manufacture liqueurs there, and a number of the local population have been invited to join as lay brothers. The plan is being financially supported by a number of Hungarian magnates, among whom Prince Esterhazy is mentioned. It is also stated that the historic castle of Taufers, in the Tyrol, has been bought ,on behalf of the Jesuits who have been banished from Portugal.

It is of English origin, Seymour Hicks and Percy Greenbank being responsible for the book and lyrics, while Ivan Caryll com- posed the music. Interpolations seem to be a Hartman habit, and there are several of them In this piece, but the audience likes them, and that, doubt- less, is Mr. Hartman's Justification for their use. For instance, it must have been Hartman and not Hicks or Green- bank who contrived this colloquy: "My dear," says one youug woman. costumed In replica of a lingerie arl in the back of the magazines, "I was just coming to you to borrow a hair- pin." "How queer!" answers the other, similarly clad. "Do you know, I was Just coming to you to borrow some hair." In the comedy Hartman assumes the identity of a (log trainer who, for a consideration, is Induced to Impersonate the earl of* Stole. Numerous individ- uals aro on tlie earl's trail, anxious to revenge themselves for real or fancied grievances, and of course the masquerader has a lively time of It. That is the barest possible outline of what happens. T'no way it happens and the way it keeps on happening, with interruptions only to allow chorus and orchestra to earn their salaries, provides more genuine laughs than have been heard before at the Grand In many weeks. Hartman, with a Cockney dialect direct from Bow Bells, gets even more fun out of his role than the authors put into it, and they were not nig- gardly. Muggins Davies as the dog trainer's Uancee, Walter de Leon as the real earl, Marta Golden as a pro- fessional strong woman and Myrtle Dingwall .is the earl's sweetheart all win and merit the audience's approval.' Joseph Fogai«ty, absent for several weeks, returnsr to the cast as a New York lawyer. The part is not con- spicuous, but he was given a hearty welcome upon his first appearance. Among the best of the musical num- bers are a duet in the first act, sung by Miss Dingwall and Mr. de Leon, and which is accompanied by some very good travesty; "A Girl Some- where," contributed by Miss Dingwall and chorus; Hartman's topical song, "It's a Lie," in which he informs us that Teddy will "come back" and that Chief of Police Galloway really hasn't "wheels;" "The Koyal Grenadiers," a march song, with the entire chorus in grenadier costumes, and the duet of the last act, sung by Ferris Hartman and Muggins Davies. The piece is well costumed and is deserving of good patronage. 'MESSAGE FROM MARS' PLEASES AT BURBANK "A Message from Mars," the inter- planetary offering at the Burbank this week, is a drama of quick surprises, shifting scenes and novelties which keep the audience guessing. As audi- ences would rather guess than know in advance, two houses yesterday ap- proved the message, and applauded the messenger in a manner that indicated much popularity for the piece. The second act is the "meat" of the play, and comprises a series of dream incidents in the life of one Horace Parker, a selfish millionaire scientist. A Martian who has fallen under the ban In his own planet has been sent to earth as a punishment, and ordered not to return until he has redeemed Parker from his selfishness. He possesses a terrible weapon in the form of a mysterious power which enables him to do superhuman feats such as whirling furniture about, making walls tremble and producing general electri- fying results upon anything he chooses. So he forces Parker to go out with him into the cold winter night, give away his money and even his fur coat to the poor, and incidental- ly obliges him to listen to opinions o? himself expressed by his friends at a ball. All this happens in the dream. Then Parker awakens, and the effect of the dream upon his waking life sur- prises all his friends. Howard Scott has made his reputa- tion principally in carefully studied delineations of character. As the man from Mars there is nothing for him to do but give powerful utterance anil presence to his lines and part. His makeup was excellent, and he hold the elusive Sunday audiences marvelous- ly throughout the rather lengthy philo- sophic discourses of his role. In this ho was given the best of co-operation by A. Byron Beasley, in the role of the selfish Parker. There ie a fine vein of comedy with a serious trend, in the latter part, and Beasley proved again that he is at his best when al- lowed to get away from straight— meaning merely heroic —characters. Miss Rambeau is required principal- ly to be dignified and charming and she threw a great deal of conscientious effort into the task, even though it merely required that she should be natural. David M. Hartford as a man in bad luck added a bizarre touch to the play. Although there are proba- bly a couple of dozen other persons in the drama they are merely accessories to the general story. "A Message from Mars" teaches a lesson without preaching and without sacrificing its dramatic interest. This is ita first presentation by a local stocU company. Blanche Walsh will appear at the Mason opera house this evening in "The Other Woman." The play is the work of Frederic Arnold Kuinmer, well known both as a magazine writer and a playwright. In the supporting com- pany are George W, Howard, Nellie Butler, Anna Cleveland and others. Besides the regular matinee Satur- day then; will be a popular ladies' matinee Wednesday. •Olil Heidelberg" will be Riven an elaborate revival 'at the Balanco play- hoTlso tonight.

Stone will again be seen in the role of the- young Prince Karl Heinrich, Eleanor Gordon will have her first opportunity to play Kathie, James K. Applebee will have the role of the dear old Dr. Juttner and Frank Camp will be seen as the dignified Lutz. William Yerance, Kichard Vivian, Harry Andrews and other of the Belasco-Blackwood organization will have the same roles which they assumed in former presentations of the'play. A score of young men from the singing sections of the Arion so- ciety and the Turn Verein have been engaged to render German folk songs.

George Beban and his associate players will present "The Sign of the Rose" at the Orpheum this afternoon for th« first time in Los Angeles. The sketch is from the pen of Mr. Beban and C. T. Dazey, and in it Mr. Beban impersonates the modern Italian Immi- grant as he Is—not the low brow "gin- ney" of blackhand proclivities, but the real son of sunny Italia, with a heart full of song and pathos and love. The cast of the playlet embraces nine persons, and the setting, which Is laid in a floral shop, will have all the wealth and beauty of Los Angeles' floral resources. Mine. .Jewell and her manikins, in a miniature vaudeville re- vue, with imitations of well known stage favorites; Alf Grant and Ethel Hoag in a song- and patter number, and Asahi, Nipponese magician, with his company are others newly ar- rived, while the Imperial Kusslan dancers, Felice Morris and company in "A Call for Help," Mile.

This contention has been taken by the unionist press, which argues that unless the government secures an in- creased majority, it will have no man- date to deal with the house of lords. The liberals, on the other hand, con- tend that not only will the government have a larger majority than that of former strong unionist ministries, but that the nation has now thrice in sw- cesslon given the liberal government a vote of confidence. I>I<OBL.KMB I'UZZI.K ENGLISHMEN To this the Unionists reply that the question of a change in the constitu- tion is on quite a different plane than ordinary legislation, and they point out that specific majorities are re- quired in the United States and in other countries before the constitu- tion can be changed. Everybody, however, appears to be in the dark Ufl to the actual possibilities of the situa- tion, and many are of the opinion that it still may be settled by negotiation and compromise. Both sides appeared equally confi- dent of gaining a few seats this week. Up to the present 504 seats out of 670 have been filled, the standing of the parties being as follows: Government coalition—Liberals 183, Laborites 32, Nationalists 56. Inde- pendent Nationalists 7; total, 278. Opposition—Unionists 226.

LOSS OF SHIP CRIPPLESALASKA TRANSPORTATION

Bligh Island Reef Scene of Sev-eral Recent Disasters

SEATTLE, Dec. 11.—The AlaskaSteamship company's steamer Olympiawas wrecked on the Bligh island reef,forty miles from Cordova, Alaska, at12:50 this morning.

The only information received heroof the wreck was a brief message fromthe company's agent at Valdez, sayingthe ship had gone on the reef.

The message sent at 10 o'clock thismorning said: "All hands on deck."

This is taken as indicating that thepassengers and crew were preparingto take to the boats.> The Olympla sailer from Seattle De-camber 6 with twenty-six passengersand several hundred tons of freight.The passengers who went north on thesteamer first sailed on the steamerNorthwestern which grounded in Falsebay, San Juan island, early in themorning of December 2, a few hoursafter sailing from Seattle for the north.The Northwestern'H passengers worebrought back to Seattle and resumedtheir journey on the Olympla, whichwas hurriedly put into commission.

The Olympia had already called atCordova, and as only a few passengerswere bound for ports west of there itis probable that not more than a dozenpassengers were aboard when shestruck.

The Olympia, an iron screw ship of2837 tons gross, was built at Glasgow,Scotland, in 1883 and was christenedthe ' Dunbar Castle. Later she wastransferred to American registry andher name changed to Olympla. Herhome port is Seattle. She was undercommand of Capt. J. T. Daniels andwas valued at $250,000. . \u25a0' , ':

The Bllgh Island reef, where 'theOlympia struck,' ie unllghted. This lo-cality has always been dangerous.Three Alaska liners have been wreckedwithin a radius of fifty miles of thepoint where the Olympla struck. Theywere the Oregon, the Saratoga and theNorthwestern. . The Northwestern wassalved and repaired at great expense,only to be wrecked again ten days ago.She was floated from her perilous posi-tion In False bay yesterday andbrought to .Seattle,- where she is againundergoing repairs.

The loss of the Olympla at this timeis a serious blow to the transportationfacilities of \u25a0 the north. . The ; AlaskaSteamship company Is not the only one

to suffer in recent wrecks, the AlaskaCoast company having lost the steamerPortland at Katalla only a month ago.

STEAMSHIP AND LAUNCHMAKE HASTE TO RESCUE

Passengers and Crew Will BeTaken to Valdez

VAI,DEZ, Alaska., Dec. 11.—News ofthe wreck or the Olympia was re-

ceived here as soon as tha military

cable office opened this morning. Thesteamer June was at once notified,and at i0:30 this morning put out intothe storm to go to the assistance ofthe Olympia. The government launchFort Liscum followed two hours later.

The mail steamer Dora sailed fromSeward at H a. m., and should reachthe scene of the wreck by midnight.The Dora is a stanch seagoing steam-er and can weather the storm betterthan the smaller craft and has putout to the assistance of the Olympiafrom here. It Is probable the Dorawill take off the passengers as thesmaller iraft cannot approach thewrrck In the storm. As soon as thepassengers and crew are rescued theywill be brought to Valdez.

the scene of the wreck, 20 milesfrom here, is a small reef extendingfrom the southeast end of Bligh Is-land at the entrance of Tititilik pas-sage. Although only a. short distancefrom JEllamar, it is exposed to the seaand is swept by tremendous waveswhenever there in a gale.

Capt. Daniels is thoroughly familiarwith the passage, It being the regularroute of vessels bound from Seattleand Cordova to" Valdez. At the""north-wast end of Bligh Island is Bushypoint, where the steamer Saratoga waswrecked three years ago. The steamerOregon was wrecked in 1906 in thesame vicinity.

HOPPER SCORES IN"A MATINEE IDOL"

Comedian Returns to Los An-geles for First Time Since

Days of Wang

HIS NEW PLAY MAKES A HIT

Music Is Tuneful and Company

Is of Good SupportingAbility

De Wolf Hopper, at the Majestictheater last night, played a "straight"comedy part in burlesque style, thusproving that though you may capari-son a comedian In "conventional even-ing black," you cannot change hismethods and demonstrating furtherthat you wouldn't If you could.Through hia disguise wo saw theeminent Repent Wang, masqueradingas a. modern. We discerned the bom-bastic and craven El Capltan, werecognized the comically puissant Pan-jandrum; and then, when statuesque

Louise Dresser bestowed herself uponthe capacious Hopper knen, some fewof us recalled "Castjes In the Air" andthe diminutive comedienne, then at theoutset of her career, who from thatsame point of vantage sang "This Lit-tle Pig Went to Market."

All of which is merely a roundaboutway of saying that Hopppr is still thename old Hopper. He has grown atrifle stouter since his last visit to LosAngeles—just a trifle; but he is asnimble of wit, as agile of limb and as"nappy In his curtain speech as of yore.That game curtain speech, by the way,always Is an Important part of a Hop-per entertainment. It was as funny

last night as anything in the show, andthe show, by the same token, was al-most as funny as anything in the cur-tain speech, so there you are.

TAKKN FROM MOMEN E

The Hopper vehicle this season Is "AMatinee Idol," a two-act comedy withnumerous musical interpolations and agirl chorus in kaleidoscopic nnd vari-ous fashioned costumes. The programcaUa it a "song comedy success," andperhaps that Is as good a designationus any other. Likewise the programconfesses that the plot has been nichedfrom Moliere's "Le Medecin MalgrcIjul," and if the program in French Isnot exactly accurate, at leant its can-dor should atone for that short-coming.

Hopper, of course, plays the bogusphysician. He Is an actor, down <>"Ills luck, not a maken. of fagots as inthe Mollero original; a down-to-dateHgWarelle with all modern improve-ments. He undertakes the masque-rade Just as did the fagot maker, forthe mom y there is In it and like hisfamous prototype he, too, finds a pa-tient who is shamming Illness, simulat-ing an affection of the brain to con-cpeal an affection of the heart. Therole is rich In comedy opportunities

and Hopper makes the most of them,

incidentally, in one of the songs, heand mips IjOuis"! WMIW contributefive minutes of travesty—frank, un-ashamed Burlesque tnut is runnyenough to draw tears of laughter froma JNlobe.

Miss Dresser is a loading woman, |not a prima donna. wne rtoosn't try

to sing but she has a knack of send-ing tier songs over tne footlights

aimed .straight ror the collective fun-ny Done of ncr audiences. Her rendi-tion of "Liovin" ways" could not Beimproved upon Dy Tettrazlnl herself.

Then, there Is Ueorgle Mack, a lit-

tle chap who might have been a Pepat

had he joined the Hopper forces a dec-ade and a half ago, but who reallyillumines with laugmng gas tne roleor jimmie Grant, a jockey who couldnave made big money in America itonly he nadn't been ruled oft. Alsotne're is Dorothy Webb, a soubretteWHOM tortune is In her toes and lid-ward Earle, just a juvenile but a goodone.

MUSIC HAS LH.TINO SWINGThe music or "A Matinee Idol" is by

Silvio Hem and it nas a lilting swing

that makes you want to hear more ofIt, even tnough the plot is hung upto dry wnile you are listening to themelodies. The best of them are "Auto-graphs," in which iiopper delivers abit of nonsense verse at the close oleach passage; "Miss lioodle and HerJ'oodle," which falls to tUe lot of MissDresser; , "Hypnotic Waltz" ensemblemimDer; •'The Dancing uanshee" and"if xou could only Bee yourself asOther People vo."

PORTUGUESE CLERICALSARE GOING TO AUSTRIA

Orders Expelled by RepublicPlanning Invasion

VIENNA, Dec. 11.—At the time ofthe revolution in Portugal anti-clericalcircles in Austria raised the demandthat something should be done to pre-vent Portuguese monks from settlingin this monarchy, which, it is alleged,nlready has far too many religious or-ders of its own. The court and thestrongest political parties, however, bo-ing clerical in their sympathies, nomeasures have been taken to ward offthe danger of a Portuguese monkishinvasion. This is inevitable, In viewof the unfavorable attitude of the oth-er Roman Catholic counfries, and nowappears to have begun.

According to information from Salz-burg an estate named Mittenwald, In("arinthia, has been sold for $80,000 to aPortuguese religious order, whichbought it for cash in the name of aprofessor of divinity of Lalbach.

Count Ivan .Batthyany, according toa report from Steinamanger, in Hun-gary, is going to make over his castleof Schlaintng, in the neighborhood, fora similar purpose. The castle is di-vided into two parts, and one wingwill be adapted for monks and the oth-er for nuns from Lisbon. The Portu-guese monks intend to manufactureliqueurs there, and a number of thelocal population have been invited tojoin as lay brothers. The plan is beingfinancially supported by a number ofHungarian magnates, among whomPrince Esterhazy is mentioned.

It is also stated that the historiccastle of Taufers, in the Tyrol, hasbeen bought ,on behalf of the Jesuitswho have been banished from Portugal.

"EARL AND GIRL"A CLEVER SHOW

Ferris Hartman and His Com-

pany Give First Local Pre-sentation of Comedy

BURBANK OFFERS A NOVELTY

'A Message from Mars' ProvesPopular at Main Street

Playhouse

"The Earl and the Girl," given itsfirst Los Angeles presentation by Fer-ris Hartman and his company at thoGrand opera house yesterday after-noon, is a sprightly musical comedywith more of a plot than we hnvocome to expect in offerings ofThe kind,numerous tuneful songs and ample fun-making 1 opportunities. It is of Englishorigin, Seymour Hicks and Percy

Greenbank being responsible for thebook and lyrics, while Ivan Caryll com-posed the music. Interpolations seemto be a Hartman habit, and there are

several of them In this piece, but theaudience likes them, and that, doubt-less, is Mr. Hartman's Justification fortheir use. For instance, it must havebeen Hartman and not Hicks or Green-bank who contrived this colloquy:

"My dear," says one youug woman.costumed In replica of a lingerie arlin the back of the magazines, "I wasjust coming to you to borrow a hair-pin."

"How queer!" answers the other,similarly clad. "Do you know, I wasJust coming to you to borrow somehair."

In the comedy Hartman assumes theidentity of a (log trainer who, for aconsideration, is Induced to Impersonatethe earl of* Stole. Numerous individ-uals aro on tlie earl's trail, anxiousto revenge themselves for real orfancied grievances, and of course themasquerader has a lively time of It.That is the barest possible outline ofwhat happens. T'no way it happens

and the way it keeps on happening,with interruptions only to allow chorusand orchestra to earn their salaries,provides more genuine laughs thanhave been heard before at the GrandIn many weeks.

Hartman, with a Cockney dialectdirect from Bow Bells, gets even morefun out of his role than the authorsput into it, and they were not nig-gardly. Muggins Davies as the dogtrainer's Uancee, Walter de Leon asthe real earl, Marta Golden as a pro-fessional strong woman and MyrtleDingwall .is the earl's sweetheart allwin and merit the audience's approval.'Joseph Fogai«ty, absent for severalweeks, returnsr to the cast as a NewYork lawyer. The part is not con-spicuous, but he was given a heartywelcome upon his first appearance.

Among the best of the musical num-bers are a duet in the first act, sungby Miss Dingwall and Mr. de Leon,and which is accompanied by somevery good travesty; "A Girl Some-where," contributed by Miss Dingwalland chorus; Hartman's topical song,"It's a Lie," in which he informs usthat Teddy will "come back" and thatChief of Police Galloway really hasn't"wheels;" "The Koyal Grenadiers," amarch song, with the entire chorus ingrenadier costumes, and the duet ofthe last act, sung by Ferris Hartmanand Muggins Davies.

The piece is well costumed and isdeserving of good patronage.

'MESSAGE FROM MARS'PLEASES AT BURBANK

"A Message from Mars," the inter-planetary offering at the Burbank thisweek, is a drama of quick surprises,shifting scenes and novelties whichkeep the audience guessing. As audi-ences would rather guess than know inadvance, two houses yesterday ap-proved the message, and applauded themessenger in a manner that indicatedmuch popularity for the piece.

The second act is the "meat" of theplay, and comprises a series of dreamincidents in the life of one HoraceParker, a selfish millionaire scientist.A Martian who has fallen under theban In his own planet has been sent toearth as a punishment, and orderednot to return until he has redeemedParker from his selfishness. Hepossesses a terrible weapon in the formof a mysterious power which enableshim to do superhuman feats such aswhirling furniture about, making wallstremble and producing general electri-fying results upon anything hechooses. So he forces Parker to goout with him into the cold winternight, give away his money and evenhis fur coat to the poor, and incidental-ly obliges him to listen to opinions o?himself expressed by his friends ata ball. All this happens in the dream.Then Parker awakens, and the effectof the dream upon his waking life sur-prises all his friends.

Howard Scott has made his reputa-

tion principally in carefully studieddelineations of character. As the manfrom Mars there is nothing for him todo but give powerful utterance anilpresence to his lines and part. Hismakeup was excellent, and he hold theelusive Sunday audiences marvelous-ly throughout the rather lengthy philo-sophic discourses of his role. In thisho was given the best of co-operationby A. Byron Beasley, in the role ofthe selfish Parker. There ie a finevein of comedy with a serious trend,in the latter part, and Beasley provedagain that he is at his best when al-lowed to get away from straight—meaning merely heroic —characters.

Miss Rambeau is required principal-ly to be dignified and charming andshe threw a great deal of conscientiouseffort into the task, even though itmerely required that she should benatural. David M. Hartford as a manin bad luck added a bizarre touch tothe play. Although there are proba-bly a couple of dozen other persons inthe drama they are merely accessoriesto the general story.

"A Message from Mars" teaches alesson without preaching and withoutsacrificing its dramatic interest. Thisis ita first presentation by a local stocUcompany.

Blanche Walsh will appear at theMason opera house this evening in"The Other Woman." The play is thework of Frederic Arnold Kuinmer, wellknown both as a magazine writer anda playwright. In the supporting com-pany are George W, Howard, NellieButler, Anna Cleveland and others.Besides the regular matinee Satur-day then; will be a popular ladies'matinee Wednesday.

BRITISH PARTIESRETAIN POSITIONS

Coalition and Opposition GainTwenty-one Parliament Seats

from Each Other

INTEREST SWERVES TO BILLS

Both Sides Appear Equally Con-

fident of Increasing TheirStrength This Week

LONDON, Dec. 11.—It is expected

now the government will return Withsubstantially the same majority it hailbefore the dissolution of parliament,

and the future course of the electionhas less interest titin the question oXwhat will happeu when parliament

meets. ,]_.<>rd Kosebery said at the beginning

of the elections that should the gov-ernment suffer a loss of only I'lvaseats, it would not pass the veto bill.This contention has been taken by

the unionist press, which argues that

unless the government secures an in-creased majority, it will have no man-

date to deal with the house of lords.The liberals, on the other hand, con-

tend that not only will the government

have a larger majority than that offormer strong unionist ministries, butthat the nation has now thrice in sw-cesslon given the liberal governmenta vote of confidence.

I>I<OBL.KMB I'UZZI.K ENGLISHMENTo this the Unionists reply that the

question of a change in the constitu-tion is on quite a different plane thanordinary legislation, and they pointout that specific majorities are re-quired in the United States and inother countries before the constitu-tion can be changed. Everybody,however, appears to be in the dark Uflto the actual possibilities of the situa-tion, and many are of the opinion thatit still may be settled by negotiationand compromise.

Both sides appeared equally confi-dent of gaining a few seats this week.Up to the present 504 seats out of 670have been filled, the standing of theparties being as follows:

Government coalition—Liberals 183,Laborites 32, Nationalists 56. Inde-pendent Nationalists 7; total, 278.

Opposition—Unionists 226.The relative position of the two par-

ties is exactly the same in the newparliament as in the old, each having-gained twenty-one seats from theother.

and national semi-finals, is placedthird and leads Fred Herreshoff,medalist, in the National and Metro-politan Golf association amateurchampionship.

Two westerners fill fifth and sixthplaces. Mason Phelps, western ama-teur champion, and Robert E. Hunter,intercollegiate champion.
