TEREBTINQ TALK Lecturer Collinge Expects to See a '-<: Liberal, Higher Metropolis In Place of the Ons Now In Ashes In the North The lecture before the Progressive club In Blartehard hall Sunday after noon by Dr. J. 15. Collinge upon "The Soul of San Francisco in Her Down fall" was an eloquent tribute to the stricken city and a prophecy of what the new city will be that arises from the ashes, not from a material aspect but from the viewpoint of the lecturer of soul expression and soul manifesta tion. -.) The rather unusual view of r. city having a soul wsa elucidated by the argument that as each human being as an Individual is but the expression and manifestation of that individual's aoul. then the city, being but a collection of Individuals, must have a collective soul; and that the predominating or majority expression of individuality as found In the individuals making up the 'city therefore becomes the soul expres sion and manifestation of that city. Large- Sou led City , San Francisco and her people were pictured as large souled and broad minded, liberal in every way, accord ing 'to each and every Individual the right to live and: express his life in his own manner. ; : The • dire disaster that has befallen these liberal and broadmlnded people was claimed to be, in its higher aspect, but a step In the evolution of the soul of a great people, the calamity bringing the opportunity for far greater soul ex pression and manifestation in building ft" new city in every way the superior of the old. Thelecturer predicted that^ the new Ban Francisco would be the freest, most liberal, most progressive and most In dividual' city on the American con tinent, and that put of the struggle and downfall of the past would come the higher and nobler . evolution of the future. - ■ . . . The collection was donated to the Ban Francisco relief fund. , A musical program was rendered dur ing the afternoon in which the singing of Hugh Callender and his sweet voiced daughter, Miss Stella, was a feature.

CaL NEW SYNDICATE STIRS ACTORS WONDER HOW THEY WILL BE AFFECTED BY MOVEMENT Thirty Million Dollar Deal Promoted Ostensibly to Induce Economy In Vaudeville and Ltgltl. mate Branches The new 180,000,000 theatrical tyndl cate formed ostensibly not to crush the Independents but merely to practice economy In the legitimate and vaude ville branches hns Los Angeles actors guessing. Varying views are taken of the more by the members of the profession stay ing here and those here with traveling companies. The Initiative has come from a group of vaudeville managers who control most of the circuits In the enst and In the central and far west, But the or ganizers of the scheme Include Import ant producers of regular drama and musical pieces. Representatives of Klaw & Erlangar, H. F. Keith, and Kohl A Castle, who have large theatrical Interests In the middle west, and Meyerfleld & Beck, who control the Orphcum circuit of vaudeville houses extending to San Francisco, met In Chicago two weeks ago and spent four days arranging the preliminaries of the plan. Keith's Official Statement The only definite Information that has reached Los Angeles Is based in an In terview with B. E. Albee, general man ager for B. B\ Keith. He says the scheme has been maturing for several years and is the natural outcome of a wish on the part of the managers to create a theatrical system which may be regulated throughout the country by one general management and one general policy. "This combination," said Mr. Albee, "which will represent an aggregate of fully $30,000,000, Is not designed to crush any of the Independent theatrical firms now doing business. We are simply or ganizing to gain greater economy and efficiency In handling the enormous volume of " business detail connected with managing and bookings. "Although this particular plan has been under consideration for several months, we are only just beginning to work out the details. Al Hayman Is now on his way home from Europe and upon his arrival will become an Important factor in the formation of the combination. "It will be arranged on a corporation basis, In which each of the members will continue to be identified with his present name and Interests. Each In dividual will be protected as to his own portion of the common pool. "We have as yet not even decided where our central offices will be, but that will take only a few minutes when we get fairly down to business." The "Outs" Talk Telegrams from the east say . that other prominent vaudeville Interest*, such as the F. F. Proctor, Hammer stein, Percy "Williams and Hurtlg & Beatnon houses, do not seem as yet to have been Invited to. Jota the -.big combination. • The firm of Klaw & Erlanger, whose name figures conspicuously in the pro posed plan, Is, of course, an Impor tant element of the syndicate, and con trols a large proportion of the first class theaters of the country. Mr. Kiaw is now on his way to Europe. Mr. Hurtlg of Hurtlg & Seamon, when asked -what hia attitude would be, said: "The whole thing was news to me. All I can say at present Is that Hurtlg & Seamon will Bo on doing business Independently and alone. I can give no opinion of the effect such a syndicate may have on vaudeville business In general until I know how the scheme Is to be inaugurated. We have not been asked to co-operate -In any, way with the proposed plan." • ■ • Lee Shubert of Shubert Brothers de clined to be Quoted, but one who Is close to the firm said "It may well mean that the Shuberts will stand al most alone against a gigantic combina tion of theatrical Interests, vaudeville and legitimate, which will be in the atrical circles what the Standard Oil company Is In the Industrial world.. I can only say that the Shuberta are not likely to be absorbed In any such trust. They will, continue their pres ent policy of independence." Hammersteln Laughs William Hammersteln was inclined to make light of the proposed combina tion. ■ ■. ■■ '■ •: i . ■■-' ■:'..■■■• -:. "What have they actually done?" de manded Mr. Hammerstein. "Why, to me it is all a lot of empty sound. After a hopeless effort on the part of Mr. Albea to weaken William Morris, Mr. Erlanger has been called in. as a specialist." • William Morris is the New Tork booking agent fora circuit of fifty two theaters, including Proctor's, Ham merstein's and Percy Williams' houses. "But why," went on Mr. Hammer stein, "Is It necessary for these man agers to combine unless they fear us? Haven't all the big vaudeville stars of this year been brought over by Percy Williams, Mr. Proctor and myßelf? Have they had such attractions as Vesta Victoria. Vesta Tilley, 'A Night in an English Music Hall," and all the others that have been seen here* this season at the Alhambra, the Colonial, the. Proctor houses, and the Victoria? We hav.e a circuit of fifty-two theaters and can therefore more than take care of all our attractions. "And again, why did they have to combine if they were strong? Mr. Keith has always been an Independent man ager, and ir a combination he loses that Independence. Why now does he need the support of others? These man agers have long feared us, have long known the power of the Morris circuit, and this recent move is only a sequel of others of the same Intention.- Man agers of theaters on their circuit have written to Vesta Victoria, Rice and Pre vost and others of our stars for book- Ings, and have been referred to Wil liam Morris as the agent. These man agers realised the strength of the Mor ris circuit when they found they could not engage these stars." » ' "To me," said Mr. Hammersteln in conclusion, "the vaudeville combine Is not a combine but an Inquest,' with Mr. Erlanger acting as coroner."

CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOT CARRY LONG FACES CHRISTIAN AND WORLDLY GLAD. NE33 WIDE APART Pastor Smale Explains That Chris. tlanlty Is Not Illustrated by Jo. vlallty, Jesting and the Mirthful Pawing of Tims At the New Testament church, Bur bank hall, yesterday morning. Pastor Joseph' Smale preached from Psalm 145, 1, 2: "I will extol Thee, my God, O King; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless Thee; and I will praise Thy name for ever and ever." In the courae of his sermon he said: "No Christian should go about with a long face. Every Christian should bo happy, 'but no Christian may borrow his pleasures from the world, or Indulge the silly likeness of his own nature. "There is a great gulf between Christ ian gladness and a worldly good time. Christianity Is not illustrated by jovial ity, Jesting and the mirthful passing of time, by telling funny stories that are 'not ■ true. He that lends himself to these things In : order to be a happy Christian- has yet to take the first steps in the Christian life. "A Christian's gladness is the Joy of the Lord. He that is not content with that needs to be born again. A Christ ian is one in whose mouth are the high praises of God. His occupation is In psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, Blnglng with grace In his heart to the Lord. His gladness la hallelujah glad ness—the very gladness of Heaven.
