NAZIMOVA OPENS WEEK
WITH AN IBSEN DRAMA
Great Russian Actress Sways
Audience in Play of De
pressing Character
Before a large and brilliant audience
at the Majestic theater last evening
Mme. Nazimova, the Russian actress,
and her company played the first of a
series of nine performances In the cur
rent week, opening with Henrlk Ibsen s
| "Little Eyolf," a drama of passion in
! three arts, unfolding a succession of
1 depressing Incidents. Ibsenian mor
i bidity takes full play in what is more
1 a series of dialogue before elaborate
I settings than a dramatic performance.
It is all the more to the credit of the
great Nulmova that without the usual
theatrical agencies of expression and
solely by force of her intensity of per
sonality and subtle, practiced art she
impresses herself wonderfully upon her
beholders; that she holds fast under
her spell an audience that would fl''e
from such scenes in real life or turn
In digust from printed pages that de
picted them. Curtain calls were nu
, merous.
Little Eyolf is the child of Alfred
1 and Rita Allmers, crippled by a f;ill
and incurably doomed to a hip disease.
Mrs. Allmers (.Mme. Nazimova) is Bel- |
flshly so enamored of her husband that .
his attentions to the afflicted child
lead to an Intense Jealousy of the boy. I
In her bitterness she reveals her pas- I
sion to the husband. Soon after, whllo
bathing In the surf the child Is drowned
and only his crutch is found. Then
follow through two acts to the' close
the struggle of the bereaved parents
with their grief and with each other,
bitter words widening the gap and
causing the resolve of Allmers to leave
his wife and Join the boy in death.
At last, purged in the crucible of
1 despair Rita resolves if left alone to
devote her life to the poor children of
the village and convincing her husband
of her regeneration of spirit wins back
1 his confidence and saves him from pur
posed suicide and to herself, content
! to share his love unselfishly with oth
ers. In this veritable puddle of glo m
four characters flounder through the
play; out of such morbid incidents is
' woven a fabric black and sinister an.l
gloomy to the last degree.
As usual with the Norwegian writer
he has drawn his characters more from
those who people his weird imagina
tion than the actual world. They are
exceptional and exaggerated and will
not bear the analysis of logic or ex
perience. Two persons who could
grieve so keenly as to be cast in the
I very depths of despair, who have the
i character to be thus affected could not
be so lacking in character as to lose
all rensonable charity and sympathy
toward each other as to utter recrim
inations, forget their common duty,
think mostly of self and come to the
brink of separation and suicide.
In the first place the possession of a
dependent, crippled child could not
make a normal mother jealous of the
father feu- making its happiness the
great object of his life. Such a joint
stewardship draws parents closer to
gether, unless one or both are insane,
and Ibsen does not intimate that he is
drawing such a picture, which would
rob the play of all moral, of all rati mal
motif. But conceding the probability
of such a situation between normal
parents, BUch a love ns Rita's, jealous
of everything and everybody, would
burn itself out in short order—that is,
In real life.
The art of Nazimova is a fascinat- \
Ing thing. There Is expression in cv- j
cry movement of her sinuous body, to
i the curve of her finger tips. No .cc- \
verer test could be put upon an act'.r
[ than the sustained grief without di
verting aetlon or "business" which Ib
sen heaps on without cessation for two
hours. In the smallest word, the lit
tlest play of face or gesture Nazimova, j
with a personality and method all her
own, fascinates and holds her audience
! fli spite the repellant character she as
i the gioom it scatters.
■ don Tynan, as Allmers, admira
bly sustained a difficult part, express
ing deep emotion with convincing sini
i plicity and without an appearance of
' spa-ims— a most difficult thing to do.
A3 an intellectual diversion Ibsen's;
play is n iteworthy. As as example of
consummate nrt Xa/.imova/s* acting is
well worth Boeing.

NEW PLAY BY LOCAL
AUTHORESS PLEASES
'The Case of Sergeant Wilde,'
Produced at Belasco, Deals
with Army Life
"The Case of Serjeant Wilde," a new
play by Leila Burton Wells, was given
Its premier production last i.tsht at
the Relaseo theater by Lewis R. Stone
and his associates. To say the least,
the play met the approval of a largo
and discriminating audience, for it
i presents an interesting story of
; romance and life in tho army, and tells
that story In an Interesting way. There
are faults of various kinds in the play,
but with careful pruning here and
there and the reconstruction of tho
third net the play will find favor with
the public. The heart interest is very
nearly sufficient to carry it to success,
for the public Is ever interested in
knowing that there is such a thing as
an undying love.
If each of the four acts of The
Case of Sergeant Wilde" were as in
tense and as powerful as the final ons
there would be no doubt of the play a
success. When It Is snld that a play
Just "misses It" in spots, there Is great
hope'for it. And then there is another
rromlseful element, not so much In the
play as for the authoress. "The Case
of Sergeant Wilde" Is the first drama
to come from the pen of Mrs. Wells.
With the experience she has gained in
writing this initial effort she undoubt
edly will be able to turn out a truly
great play in time to come. She
shows that she knows how to tell an
interesting story and maybe to write a
gripping play, which Is a potent sign.
Mrs. Wells, who has gained con
siderable fame as a fiction writer, ha*
turned her talent to good account in
her dramatic efforts. She has with
held her real climax for the last act.
very nearly the "tag" speech, thereby
departing from set play-writing rule*.
By this dramatic novelty Mrs. Well"
play sustains one's interest until the
very last moment. And that Is a Her
culean task for any dramatist. Pos
sibly the greatest fault of "The Case
of Sergeant Wilde" Is that it lacks
that rapid dramatic action which
means success.
A syllabus of the new play is some
thlng'llko this:
Julian Allen is the son of a colonel
and loves Laurel Irving, the coloel s
niece. Julian gambles, loses heavily,
and In his chagrin runs away to
escape the upbraiding of his father,
who is one of those stern, relentless
soldiers as well as a hard father.
Julian Is caught in a steamship
wreck. He sees an opportunity to wipe
out his name, so puts his clothing on
a dead man and henceforth becomes
one Wilde. He enlists in the army and
Is breveted twice for bravery on the
field, finally becoming a sergeant.
When time hangs heavily on the
I sergeant's hands while he is In the
I Philippines he begins to dr!nk and
i gamble. One of his messmates steals
the company funds and Wilde, to
l shield the bny. takes the blame.
I Sergeant Wilde Is brought before his
own father, Colonel Allen, for sen
tence. Laurel pleads for the boy,
whom she loves but to no avail.
The old man. broken with grief, is
I tempted when he recoenlzes his own
! flesh and blood, to set the boy free.
But the cnth he has taken to his j
country dominates him and he s'gns
Sergeant Wilde's commitment to
i prison which means a disgraceful dis
charge from the service when the
prison term is ended.
While Wilde is incarcerated In the
guardhouse Laurel, who for years has
been loved by Captain Desmond, but
whose advances she has repulsed, of
fers to marry the captain if he will
allow the sergeant to escape. Captain
; Desmond, allowing his selfishness to
master him. brings about the escape
of the prisoner.
In the early dawn of the following
day Captain Desmond and Sergeant
Wilde meet in the ruins of the church
of San Pedro Mecate. Desmond tells
the sergeant to think only of* the girl's
happiness and either put a bullet into
his brain and end it all or escape
! from the islands and once mnro be
come .swallowed up in myfetery.
But the love Laurel has for Julinn
prompts her to follow him to his ren
dezvous. She pleads with him and
when Desmond cames for his final
anav.-er the sergeant throws away his
gun, gives up all hope of escape and
starts back to give himself up to tho
authorities, declaring that he would
regain hia honor by serving his term
and would come from prison a fit man
1 to husband a girl who was willing to
sacrifice her very happiness for him.
Lewis Stone plays Sergeant Wilde
excellently. In the final act he was
superb in -bringing out the hidden
power of mastery of self over self.
i Eleanor Gordon was powerful but a
' bit too passionate and lacrymose as I
Laurel Irving. Frank Camp gave an
acceptable portrayal of Captain Dei
mond. Helen Sullivan pleased as a
flirting wife who was quickly tamed
i by a husband who had been sorely
vexed. The "taming scene," wherein
Miss Sullivan and John J. Kennedy
jas Captain Ritchie were the actors,
was delightful. Charles Giblyn as ]
Pedro, a Filipino servant, and Adele '
Farrington as a Filipino vender dom
inated while tbay were on the Stage.
Mr. 1 Giblyn's characterization was
! particularly fine. Charles Buggies,
Richard Vivian and others In the cast
! pleased.
Tho stage settings of "The Case of
: Sergeant Wilde" are especially elabor
ate. Particularly is this true of the
third and fourth acts, where a spot
in the Filipino jungle and the ruins
of a church are pictured. S. O.

"The Fortuno Hunter" began the
second week of its fortnight run at
Ms m opera house last night,
proving as highly attractive and en
tertaining as It always has. Its lesson
seems a pleasingly easy one for all to
learn being mingled with humor and
humanity. Fred Nlblo as Nathaniel
Duncan, who finds that there Is more
than one kind of a fortune to win, is
continually entertaining, whether In
the lines and business of the play or
in the neat and funny curtain speech
he gave at the find of the thin] act
last night. Frank Bacon, Alma Belwln
and the other members of the cast
still perform their accustomed clever
work.
The Countess Thamara De Swlrsky
will make her first appearance at the
Auditorium this afternoon in her
classic dancei that have won her much
favor In Europe, Newport and before

drama. It will commence at 3:25. The
second . and last appearance of the
Countess de Swirsky wltl be given on
Friday afternoon, after which she will
sail for Australia.

Augusta Close is tho headliner, but
"Fllnder's Furnished Flat" is the
"knockout" at the Orpheum this week.
Miss Olose, with her pretty face, her
dainty mannerisms and her childish
voice,' Is highly appreciated for her
spoken songs and inimitable imita
tions. She deserves every bit of the
generous applause bestowed, but her
laugh-making ability Is not up to that
of Wlllard Stmms, who tries to paper
his furnished Hat. Miss Glose, who
has charmed Los Angeles audiences
In previous years, is what most play
bills call a refined comedienne; Mr.
Slmms is tho typical "rough house"
comedian. There's a difference, and
a vast one, too.
A burlesque of amateur paper
hanging is Mr. Slmms' method of
making laughter. Ho tears roll after
roll of perfectly good wallpaper in
his endeavors to get a start, and then
he daubs paste all over himself, the
paper, the furniture and the room. His
antics # are screamingly funny. He
i;ci-s caught while taking a bath and
mora comical actions follow. To close,
Mr. Simms and Miss Margaret Lucier
do a. burlesque of grand opera and
"Choreens." The longer the pair are
on the stage the harder the audience
laughs. "Flinders Furnished Flat"
is undoubtedly the best "rough house"
comedy seen here in many weeks.
Leona Thurber and Harry Madison
white "On a Shopping Tour" tell some
Jokes which haven't been heard lately.
Miss Thurber does several imitations,
one of which—a spinster at a bargain
counter—is exceptionally clever, and
Mr. Madison does an eccentric dance
which is very good.
"The Continental Waiter," presented
by Spissell brothers and company, be
gins as a pantomimic farce and ends
In a comedy acrobatic manner. The
act is a real novelty and a welcome
departure from acrobatio turns.
John P. Wade and his company pre
senting "Marse Shelby's Chicken Din
ner" and La Tortajada, the Spanish
dancer, score heavily, although hold
overs. The Flying Martins, trapeze
performers; Paul Qulnn and Joe
Mitchell In "The Land Agent," and
new motion pictures complete the bill.
By special arrangement Moanager
Clarence Drown will present Mrs.
Samuel Travers Clover's one-act play,
"What Every Woman Wants," at the
matinee today. Lillian Burkhart and
her company will present the playlet,
which will open on regular Orpheum
time at Denver next month. This
afternoon will be the only time when
the work of tho brilliant local writer
will be seen in Los Angeles, as the
sketch Is booked entirely in the east.
One of the prettiest sketches d«
plgned for the vaudeville stage is "A
Bit of Blarney." It will bear repeti
tion and never loses Its charm. It Is
presented at Pantages this week by
Edwin Keough, Helen Nelson and
George Hill, who contribute to a great
extent to tho success of the sketch, as
their acting Is smooth, their interpre
tation of the characters admirable and
the novelties Introduced of the high
est order. Miss Nelson's rendition pf
"The Last Rose of Summer" is ex
tremely sweet, and Hill's Robespierre
Is a creditable piece of acting.
Delmar and Pelmar show some feats
of strength. Billy and Maud Kellar
present a dialogue which has to do
with matrimonial agents. It affords
some fun and good singing and is alto
gether worthy.
As Hebrew comedians Charles Allen
and Jack Lee offer something out of
the usual run. Their parodies are
extremely funny.
Alfred the Great, a trained chim
panzee, occupies the center of the
stage as the topnotcher of the pro
-1 grain. Alfred is well trained for one
so young, being only 15 months old.
He eats with knife and fork, smokes,
and keeps his equilibrium on a pair of
| skates. His best performance Is on
I a bicycle, which he manages with the
skill of a human being, winding In
and around obstructions without even
barking his shins.
FEDERATION CLUB PLANS
FOR 200 NEW MEMBERS
Whirlwind Campaign Started by
Clergymen with Pledges
of $2000
A whirlwind campaign has been in
augurated by the Federation club to
increase the membership from 400 to
600, the plans being formulated at a
banquet elven In the club rooms,
Wright & Callender building, last
night.
The banquet was called for the pur
pose of hearing the report of the Joint
committee of the Chruch Federation,
Federation club and the Ministerial un
ion. This report a^ked for more gen
erous response to the club work and
that it remain a separate organization
from the Church Federation, the union
of the two organizations having been
dlscusied at a previous session.
The Rev. J. Whltcornb Brougher,
president of the club, called on the Rev.
Charles FMward Locke to act. as toast
master, who at once Infused a lively
Interi Bt, which was maintained
throughout the evening.
The Rev. B. P. Ryland made the op
ening address, giving a description of
the inception of the club and its advan
tages in connection wtiTi the Church
Federation.
Xathan Newby, former president of
the club, was very enthusiastic In Ills
address, expressing In distinctive terms
the advantage! of the federated club
In promoting the best work In both the
Church Federation and the club.
The Rev. J. T. Thoir.as of Denver
of the Xatlonal Federation of Church
councils made a stirring address, com
plimenting the Federation club as lead-
Ing everything of its kind In the United
States, and said that Los Angeles was
a great city in which to maintain It
successfully.
Several speakers followed, including
the Rev. Dr. Brougher, who as the pres
ident of the club took special Interest
to make the event a success.
Membership cards had been distrib
uted among the banqueters. About six
ty signed these and $2000 was pledged
for the club work.
It was decided to appoint an ener
getic committee to push the whirlwind
campaign for membership, the mem
bership fee to be $5 for pastors and
$10 for laymen, with dues at $1 pet
month. By increasing the membership
to 1000 It would enable the club to free
Itself from all Indebtedness and place
it on a sound financial busis, as well as
furnishing a place for meetings for
committees and other sessions.

FIVE SHOTS RAPIDLY FIRED
Strangers Rush in and Over
power Man in Act of Cut
ting His Throat
Believing that the woman with whom
he had been keeping company intended
to leave him for another, J. W.
Wheeler, 36 years old, a blacksmith of
Echo, Ala,, persuaded May Wheeler of
735 Maple avenue to accompany him
to a room at 604% East Fifth street,
shot her to death, then, falling to
shoot himself fatally, drew a knife
and slashed his throat in the presence
of persons who burst into the room.
Wheeler was taken to the receiving hos
pital, where the police surgeons stated
he would recover.
Wheeler evidently planned the mur
der. Saturday night he quit his posi
tion with Zenz Bros., blacksmiths, at
240 South San Pedro street, and re
marked to the foreman, Joseph B.
Hawks, that he was going back to Ala
bama, where his wife lives. The fol
lowing day, Sunday, Wheeler, it lt»
thought, met the woman who bears the
same name., and they quarreled, he
having accused her of Inconstancy and
planning to leave him for another man.
Last night the couple appeared at
the Paris house, 604 Ms East Fifth
street, and engaged a room, register
ing under the name of H. N. Watson
and wife. They were assigned room
No. 8, which overlooks the street. The
pair seemed to be in good spirits and
there was no indication of an impend
ing tragedy. /
About five minutes after they had
closed the door of the roon* a shot
rang out. and after an interval of two
or three seconds four more, shots fol
lowed in rapid succession. Mrs.
Madge Collonge, proprietor of the
place, nnd George Bricker, a horse
dealer of 818 Gladys avenue, rushed
Into the room and saw tlie woman lying
in a heap in a corner of the room, dead,
and Wheeler standing before a mirror
with a smoking pistol In one hand and
a knife In the other. He immediately
began to hack at his throat. Inflict
ing a deep gash that opened his wind
pipe and severed the anterior Jugular
vein. Before he ceased his efforts
Wheeler succeeded In cutting himself
In a half dozen places on his neck
and breast.
Patrolman Rtggs heard the shots and
arrived soon after the landlady en
tered the room. He disarmed Wheeler,
who was hurried to the receiving hos
pital.
Before leaving the house Wheeler
wrote a note to the effect that the
woman was trying tp "out up" with
another man, and he caught her and
she cut his thsoat. This note was
signed C. H. Duortt. Later the wound
ed man wrote that his true name is
Wheeler and that he came from Echo,
Ala. While Wheeler lost a consider
able quantity of blood, he is not fatally
injured, so the surgeons say. The shot
he fired after killing the woman en
tered his scalp Just above the right
temple and passed out two Inches from
the entrance of the missile without en
tering the skull.
The dead woman was well known to
the police, having been arrested some
time ago for vagrancy. She Is said to
have a child living In Los Angeles. She
was about 40 years old. The body was
taken to the undertaking establish
ment of Bresee Bros., where the cor
oner will hold an Inquest.

his picture after hearing him crow in
a pleading way. He would mount or
dismount the platform on his master's
bicycle at a simple command and would
trow as often as requested.
When the proposed ordinance re
stricting the crowing of roosters was
before the city council some months
ago "Sammy" gained renown by crow
liik in the face of the mayor or any of
the councllmen when some wag stand
ing near would quietly let slip the
command "crow!"

quickly gives heat, and with one filling of the font burns steadily for nine hours,
without smoke or smell. Has automatic-locking flame spreader which
prevents the wick from being turned high enough to smoke, and is easy to remove
and drop back so the wick can be quickly cleaned.
It has a damper top and a cool handle. Indicator always shows the amount
of oil in the font. The filler-cap does not need to be screwed down ; it is put in
j. like a cork in a bottle, and is attached to the font by a chain, and cannot get lost.
\ The burner body or gallery cannot become wedged, because of a new device
in construction, and consequently, it can always be easily unscrewed in an
instant for rewicking. The Perfection is finished in japan or nickel, is strong,
durable, well-made, built for service, and yet light and ornamental.
