But the coplouß tears and the enthusiastic applause of those who were there proved the "three mus keteers of the brush" and Svengall, "out of the mysterious east," and Tril by and all of the others of the days of long ago still have their fond admir ers and that the adventures of these Dv Maurler people can touch the sym pathies deeply. "Trilby" was always Wilton Lack aye's play. He is so far the dominant feature and he presents the character of Svengall In such an artistic an 4 powerful manner that it is easy to see why he loves the piece and why he rejoices In the opportunity to present it as a strong man rejoices to run -a race. He makes it a masterpiece and by his presence the play is still en titled to live and deserves a better patronage than Los Angeles gave it yesterday. Wilton Lackaye was given such en thusiastic applause after the third act that he was forced to respond with a curtain speech, although his make-up was much awry. He said that he rec ognized wherever he presented the old play that there was a bond of sym pathy created by the story which age could not wither nor custom stale. He said that many men In the audience would remember the piece as it was first presented ten years ago and that the women had heard of it from their mothers but that it would in his opin ion run on through many generations. Anyone in the audience could have told him that It would die when the creator of Svengall retired from the stage. The cast was adjusted to the pre sentation of the play as well as could be expected considering that the play ers were chosen only with the Idea of representing the characters of "The Pit." Miss Jane Oaker made a sweet and effective "Trilby," although lack ing the "divine tallness" by which Dv Maurier characterized her. Hale Ham ilton, A. H. Stuart, Frank Dekum, Ed mund H. Reardon and George Splnk were excellent in leading roles. MISSING MAN COMES HOME William Bow'en Says He Was Out Collecting Bills and Had Not "Disappeared" William Bowen, saloonkeeper near Evergreen cemetery, who was reported as having "mysteriously disappeared" from his home Tuesday morning, walked into his place of business yes terday and has- since been very busy "setting 'em up" to his friends because of the notoriety achieved by hl3 sud den change in habits. Bowen's family became alarmed by his absence from home and reported his disappearance to the police. Fears of murder or kidnaping were enter tained, but Bowen was only out In the city collecting some past due bills from delinquent customers. He returned home late Monday night from his business and arose earlier than usual Tuesday morning. Because his family did not see him on either occa sion they became alarmed. Bowen had over $200 on his person when he started home Monday night, and this fact, con nected with his absence, caused fears of foul play. FITZSIMMONS' TRIAL BEGINS D. A. Arnett and J. W.

WILTON LACKAYE APPEARS AS SVENGALI IN "TRILBY" OFFER FREE SITE FOR NEW SCHOOL VERNON RESIDENTS APPEAL FOR AID Taxpayers In District Bay Their Chil dren Walk Miles to Classes. Board Will Erect Tern, porary Building Residents of the southwest district are Insistent upon having some school facilities. At the meeting of the board of education yesterday afternoon a delegation of the citizens from . the vicinity of Vernon and Moneta avenue were present to urge the imperative necessity of immediate action. Said one, "We are willing to put up the money to make the first payment on the necessary ground. We want a school and want it bad. If you saw our children walking eighteen blocks to school you would realize the Importance of our claim. Laßt year there were over 150 pupils in our district and now the number exceeds 200." Another Vernonlte argued that since money had been voted for schools in localities where there Were not more than fifty pupils they should have one in the southwest district, and stated that the fellow sufferers in his district would be willing to advance the $2000 necessary to secure the proposed site and play landlord with the school board until their funds would admit of the purchase. The board was unable to take final action owing to the fact that there was not a quorum present, but it was finally voted to erect a temporary building providing the citizens would furnish the ground rent free lor the ensuing year. Deputy Superintendent Monlux re ported that it would be necessary to erect temporary buildings in several districts or hold half day sessions, and It was voted to have the half day ses sions for the present. There are al ready over 27,000 pupils enrolled. Principal Housh of the High school reported that already there are en rolled 1400 pupils, notwithstanding the opening of the new Polytechnic school. The total enrollment of the two schools is 2400 as against 2200 last year. Owing to the fact that such a large number were entering the science classes in the polytechnic it was ordered that the city superintendent be empowered to establish district boundaries at Ninth street. v THIEVES STEAL THREE AUTOS "Chug Wagons" Taken From Circus Grounds Tuesday While Owners Witnessed Performance Although Barnum & Bailey boast that confidence men, fakers and thieves do not follow their circus, they evi dently overlooked the class of crim inals who steal houses and lots and switch engines and automobiles, I as three large touring cars were stolen from the circus grounds Tuesday afternoon iand the thieves have thus far escaped apprehension. W. F. Nordholt of Ocean Park is mourning for the loss of his large green touring car which he abandoned on the grounds long enough to witness the performance. F.R. Wlnnett, unwilling to risk the chance of having to become one of the strap holders ifi a street car, drove his red auto to the grounds and left It standing in the large lot while he saw the sights inside the tented city. When he returned he was unable to find the pride of his heart. The Southwest Garage will not \be forced to pay taxes on a certain red car unless the police apprehend the missing auto which was stolen from near the* circus tent Tuesday after noon. MANGLES LEG IN CRUSHER 8. Trujlllo Falls Into Machine With Which He Was Working at Brick Yard S. Trujlllo, employed at Simons' brick yard In Boyle Heights, slipped while shoveling clay Into a dirt crusher at the yards yesterday afternoon and be fore the machinery could be stopped his left leg was mangled so severely that it was found necessary to ampu tate It Trujlllo had been employed at the yards but six weeks and lives at IWS Santa Fa avenue. He is the father of nine ' children. ' He was taken to the German bospital on South Boto street. MISS CASSELMAN LANGUISHES Bond for Handsome Sunday School Teacher Not Forthcoming and She Sees Sun From Behind Bars Fair Ruby Casselman yet languishes In durance vile and the hour of her re lease has not yet come, although it was heralded Tuesday that before the setting of the sun yesterday she would again be breathing the air of Southern California's equable dime unrestrained by the cruel hand of the law. However,- the promised ball for Miss Casselman is said to be In process of formation and will be forthcoming to morrow, sure. In some unaccountable manner It became delayed yesterday, and she remained the star attraction at the city Jail, although her audiences of phrenologists, clairvoyants, palmists and mediums were decidedly smaller yesterday than at any time during her confinement behind the cruel bars. Attorney Mulford, who will defend Miss Casselman should she ever be placed on trial, was very much wrought up yesterday at the failure to Becure the freedom of his handsome Sunday school teacher client, and by way of reply to anxious Inquiries of the news paper representatives as to when her exit was scheduled to occur he said "It is none of your business." REPORT NUMEROUS THEFTS Burglars and Thieves Operate With Regularity — Usual Number of Complaints Registered The professional robber finds Los Angeles a lucrative field and Is evi dently without fear of detection, as the numerous complaints at the police station by losers of valuables attest. Santos Delgado of San Fernando re ported that he was knocked down on San Fernando street Monday night and while unconscious upon the sidewalk his assailants went through his pockets and abstracted $34 in change. Leon A. Wolf, through a lapse of memory, walked out of the lavatory at the Natlck hotel yesterday, leaving his watch behind him. When he re turned a few minutes later his watch was gone. He reported the practical demonstration of the adage that "time waits for no man" at the police sta tion. Bert Walling once possessed two watches, one a first-class performer and the other not quite so reliable, but both ' valuable. While he was attend ing to his duties about the Hotel Pep per some unfeeling wretch sneaked Into his room and stole both watches. FINES RESTAURANT KEEPER A. K. Sasaki Is Penalized Ten Dollars for Selling Impure Milk to His Patrons Police Judge Chambers yesterday fined A. K. Sasaki $10 on the charge of selling adulterated milk. Sasaki is pro prietor of a restaurant and it is alleged that he disposed of Impure milk to his patrons. W. C. Elderton of the Boston res taurant, and Louis Wetzell, a grocer, were arraigned on similar charges and their trials were set for a later date.
