PRAISE WORK OF
FRANCIS MURPHY
BUSINESS MEN TELL PER
SONAL EXPERIENCES
(Temperance Meeting In Blanchard
Hall Is Big Success — Many Em.
brace Opportunity to Sign
/ . the Pledge
Francis Murphy last night told of the
great blessing that sorrow la to the
world at the regular Sunday night
temperance meeting in Blanchard hall.
Nearly five hundred persons were pres
ent to hear talks by business men and
singing by artists.
Mr. Murphy said that people are
given pain in order that they may know
what It is and be prepared to sorrow
and sympathize with others who are
afflicted with trouble.
The speaker said that while It is
wrong for a person to believe that he
is. perfect,' it is a greater wrong for
him to believe that there is no good in
himself. He suggested that the best
way for a person to benefit himself
morally is. to try to find the good In
himself and to weed out the sin.
• Attorney Frank Pratt was in charge
of the meeting and gave a short talk,
telling of 'the great good that Francis
Murphy had done for him. He said
that he was leading the life of. a
drinking man and that through Francis
Murphy he was convinced of the wrong
he was doing himself-' and signed the
pledge, which he vowed he never would
break.
. Shown Way to Plead
« Mr. Pratt said that as a young man
he had attained success in r worldly
way and hnd pleaded before "Juries for
the 'lives of others, had pleaded on the
platform for people to vote In a way
that would better themselves, but that
he was unable to plead with God for
help for himself until he was shown
the way by Francisc Murphy.
Mr. Pratt spoke about the opportu
nities of young men. He said that he
did not agree with the philosopher who
Maid that opportunity knocks but once
at the door, for he believed that It Is
always knocking at the door of young
Americans If they but 'live the right
kind of life.
Judge Galbralth Bald he has known
Mr. Murphy for a quarter of a century
In Puttsburg and that he always felt
that he could not praise him enough for
the good he has done.
| "He has saved an army of men,"
said | Mr. Galbraith. "He has labored
-with love. In his heart and his efforts
have been successful."
. Others told of the way In which they
had signed the pledge and how theirs
have been changed lives ever since.
After the services were over those who
desired to sign. the pledge were given
the opportunity.
Mr. Murphy announced that a ben
efit concert will be given by the artists
of ■ the city for Charles Hendrlcks, a
talented musician -who Bang last night
and wa3 encored several times, who
has become blind, but can have his
eight restored if ho has the money with
•which to pay for the operation.
Others who sang- were Mrs. Fred
Dorn and Charles Lamb.

MILITARY DRAMA
STILL THRILLS
BURBANK COMPANY AROUSES
PATRIOTISM
Revival ef "The Girl I Left Behind
Me" Meet* With Favor of
the Two Sunday
Audiences
After the splendid efforts of the Bur
bnnk stock company to make a suc
cess of "Mlzpah" last week, that mill
tary melodrama, "The Girl I Left Be
hind Me," aeems to be a step down the
ladder.
"The Girl I Left Behind Me" did not
fall to arouse the patriotism of the
people who saw It last night, Just as
it did in the dayfl when it was pre
sented for ,the first time. Blanche
Hall, as the girl, has a chance to look
very charming with a big flag waving
above her and she makes good use of
the chance.
William Desmond •as Lieutenant
Hawesworth Is not nearly as Imposing
as he was In tho role of tho handsome
king In "Mlzpah," but then he leads
' the Twelfth" to victory Just at the
right moment, so it docs not matter at
air about looks. He rescues the he
roine Just at the right minute and' he
never sacrifices his honor to the offers
Ofjthe villain.
<BThe work of William Morris aa stage
director was far superior to his acting
as Major Burlelgh. Harry Mestayer's
performance last night was the most
finished and forceful of the piece. He
was just a common private with no
more distinguishing cognomen than
Jones, but he was one of those who
arrived.
Elsie Esmond again contributed an
other fascinating little picture to the
play in the role of "Wllber's Ann."
Miss Esmond Is the most clever in
genue who has been seen at the Bur
bank for more than two years— not
since Miss Esmond was there before,
In fact.
John W. Burton portrays the part of
General Kennlon, in command of the
military department, and Harry Gla
zier is the villain. Fay Batnter is the
Indian girl and the role Is an entirely
new one for the little maid. Rose King
Is the only other woman in the cast,
and as a frolicking girl she is good.
FROHMAN REVIVES
"JANE"; SO DOES ,
BELASCO COMPANY
The most successful farce comedies
of five or six years ago are once more
coming into their own, if one may take
the demand for such sterling laugh
makers as "Jane," "Charley's Aunt"
and "What Happened to Jones" as any
criterion of the tastes of the theater
goers of today.
In New York "Charley's Aunt" was
revived five months ago and It has
kept the large Manhattan theater filled
to overflowing every night since the
opening.
Now comes word from Charles Froh
man's office that "Jane," unquestiona
bly one of the funniest farces that was
ever played in this . country is also to"
have a- big revival at the hands of a.
special company Mr. Frohman Intends
to organize. "Jane" , will also enjoy
another lease of life in England, where
Mr. Frohman. is going to give It to the
Londoners in the course of the next
two months.
The Belasco theater • stock company
had planned to play "Jane" as the sec
ond anniversary of the .opening of the
local playhouse the first week In Sep
tember, but a request from the Froh
man office for the manuscript and an
early local presentation made it im
perative to call from the San Francisco
Alcazar forces that charming and al
ways delightful comedienne, Juliet
Crosby, for the production of the up
roariously funny farce • tonight at the
Belasco. . . ■ ■
As soon as the performance^ "Jane"
is over this evening , the bundle of
manuscript, parts, music and costume
plates will be expressed to Mr. Froh
man In care of the Duke of York's
theater, London, and If "Jane" arrives
in the British metropolis on scheduled
time the great farce will be played
there three weeks from tonight.
PLAY AT GRAND
IS REPLETE WiTH
HEART THROBS
Each week the melodramas at the
Grand become more lurid and the audi
ences accordingly like them better. This
week "Lost in a Big City" Is the bill.
At the end of the second act an'im
pressive fire scone is shown. The
flames shoot up through the den of one
of the villains with tremendous effect.
There is a scheme on foot to ruin Sid
ney Heaton and as usual Pryse Mackay
and Lillian Hay ward are the original
"Mr. and Mrs. Rulner." Frank Frayne
Is not an ideal comedy Yiddish type.
Harrison King acted as the savior and
if it had not been for his labors the
loss in population would have been
great. Lule Warrenton has another of
the "now, darling, mother Is going
away on a long journey," parts, and
dies in tho second act.' It waß plain
that she was not long for this world, for
her make-up was such as to cause her
to resemble a corpse In the morgue.
Paul Harvey was acceptable as Sidney
Heaton, who marries two wives be
cause his father wants him to. Miss
Snell is the heiress wife, according to
the program. Myrtle Selwyn as the
little Yiddish girl was good and her
duets with Frayne were enjoyable.
Muriel Fuller as the blind child was as
pathetic as was required. Pathos,
plenty of stabbing. and shooting, and a
spectacular scene . are ■ the component
parts of "Lost In a Big City. 1 '
In Betsle Tannehill's Rolo
Maud Williams will "go son*' at the
Hotchklss tonight In Hessle Tannehill's
role In "I O U.'.' Miss Tannehlll has
been playing Ann in the Kolh, Dill and
Dillon production, but will go north
with the Olympia Opera company to
Portland. Miss Williams Is a great
soprano stage favorite.
Miss 'Williams Is best known as the
prince In "King Dodo."

BAGGED TBAMPIS
A COLLEGE MAN
WANDER LUST DOMINATES HIS
CAREER
Wfjile Working as a Brakeman on
Southern Pacific Detective Once
Aided Graduate of Harvard
University
In the detective department of the
Los Angeles police force s there are but
few. men who have not Bpent several
years working at some trade or earn
ing their living by some other kind of
work. Among them are several who
have been railroad men and, when the
burglars ;or other "crooks" are good,
they occaslonlly gather and "swap"
stories. They have become master
hands at it because they grew accus
tomed to telling experiences when rid
ing in the caboose as it bumped over
the rails on dark and dreary nights.
One of them, "who . was formerly a
brakeman, told the following story last
night while waiting at the office:
"I was braking on the Southern Pa
cific before I became a member of the
force. That was In 1900. It was late
at night when we pulled into Saugus.
About two miles the other side of the
town I noticed a light in an empty fcox
car and cllmbe-1 down to see what was
doing. . . .
"There was a ragged tramp, / Ord
inarily I would have made him get oft
the train at the next station, but some
thing about his face and the way he
kept his hair combed and his hands
washed attracted me to talk with him.
Tells Story of Life
"He told the story of his life after I
had questioned him for a while and the
good language he used and the,, look in
his eyes made me believe him.
"He said that his parents had been
comfortably rich people In Boston anu
that he had received a good education,
being a graduate of Harvard. They
died and being of an easy turn of mind
he spent what they left him in being a
good fellow. '
"Then he was petted with the desire
to travel, but had no money. He made
one trip from Boston to Chicago riding
on the brake beams and his fate
seemed settled after that. He tried to
settle down and work, but the Irreslst
able longing to see more of the world
had led him on until he had given up
all hope of ever staying lon* enough
In one place to earn a living.
"I was surprised when he pulled from
his pocket a book with the cover gone
and showing much usage, and told me
that it was a copy of Llvy In Latin.
Ha said that this had been the one
study which he liked In school and that
he had read it until he could almost
say It backwards. I carried htm to
Santa Barbara and bought him a warm
meal and felt well repaid by the time
he had taken up which would other

"Queer chaps, some of these tramps,"
he added by way of conclusion.-.

Home •'
Bessie aged 16, taken to the
women's department of. the. city Jail
Saturday night under suspicion that
she had been drugged, yesterday was
taken to her sister's home on Ruth
avenue.
According to the girl's sister, Delia
Smith, Bessie has been In HI health for
two years and it resulted in mental
trouble.
Assistant Police Matron McPeak was
Informed that Miss Bmlth was taken to
the county hospital several weeks ago,
but she wandered away. It was said,
and was found sitting on the curbing
on Flower street by Patrolman Harris.
He sent her to the police station, under
the impression that the girl had been
drugged and possibly maltreated.
Mrs. McPeak talked with the little
girl and learned that she had been 111
and under restraint. '. .. ..,''..
The girl was formerly a waitress at a
Seventh street restaurant, but has been
unable to work recently because of her
mental trouble.
Yesterday afternoon Miss Smith was
returned to the hospital, but the omYialH
stated that they could no longer care
for the girl unless a complaint wiyi
sworn out charging her with Insanity.
If she is committed by order of court
the hospital authorities are- willing to
receive the unfortunate girl, but would
not otherwise accept the responsibility,
especially after the girl left the intti
tutlon a short time ago.
