LOUIS JAMES AND HIS SPLENDID COMPANY
DELIGHT WITH "THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR "
LIVELY COMEDY
FINELY PLAYED
REAL OPENING OF MASON'S
THEATRICAL SEASON
Shakespeare's Masterful Lines and
Mirthful Characters Take on New
Meanings In the Clever Hands
of Delightful Thespians
WILLIAM HAMILTON CLINE
Time was— and not so very long ago,
either— when Shakespeare, on any
stage, spelled "ruin" to players and
proprietors alike. But now, In this lat
ter day of reformed orthography, we
must write Shakespeare as the key
note of the Thespian's prosperity.
There was reason for Its former
status; there Is better reason for its
present. After the old generation of
groat Ehakespeareans died— men such
as Booth, Barrett and Keane— the
lean years, when none measured up to
. the stature of the master. In that
time -were the mediocre players, who
offered wretched depletions of the
grandest characters In drama: who
', made tawdry productions, meager and
lncorrectI Incorrect In environment and invest
—really travesties on the art. And
as few cared to see their Ideals shat
tered and trampled in the dust, they
stayed away, and the box offices suf
fered—as rightly they should.
But now has arisen a new line of
Shakespearean Interpreters— sturdy,
scholarly and artistic line, full worthy
to depict these great creations. Soth
ern and Marlowe, Robert Mantell,
. Crestan Clarke, and, best of all. Louis
James, have restored to an hungry peo
ple their treasures of the stage, worthi-
l y,■ ly, artistically, sumptuously, and, eager
■ once more ■to behold in the life the i
lmmortals — Romeo, Macbeth, Richard, j
Caesar, Callbran, Puck and Falstaff— '
the people Hock to the Muses' temples ]
and crowd their aisles to glory in the i
greatnesr.. of their heritage and the
ability of the latter-day actors who so
■worthily impersonate them.
Los Angeles, for the first time In ■
many months, was invited last night to
; witness what was promised to be one i
of the most superb Shakespearean re- ,
vivals of the age— "The Merry Wives '
of Windsor." played by a superb com-
I pany headed by Louis James. Lavish
pledges were made for this offering;
much rhetoric and hyperbole were
enunciated In declaring Its glories and
worth. Los Angeles, skeptical — and |
rightly, considering its recent experi
encess — went. And saw. And was con
quered. v • :f.: f .
Eager to Approve -~>
.'.. '. And today Los Angeles is eager to
voice its approval, its delight, its en
thusiasm, and one of the most perfect !
presentations of a Shakespearean—
any other sort of— masterpiece ever be
k held within its confines, admirably i
kplayed, by a company -whose merits, :
~ bk(ll, .understanding and appreciation j
■ are beyond cavil. I
■"The. Merry Wives of Windsor" is
, one of the master's most delightful j
albeit most salacious, dramas. As '
originally written, It would scandalize !
any modern audience. Yet It contains
so much real mirth, wit and comedy, ■
and abounds with such notable charac- !
terizations, that the public is always •
eager to behold It. i Very wisely, Mr.
James, thorough artist that he is, has ,
eliminated the most objectionable sen- J
tences and has modified the most '
shocking scenes, without at all harm
lng the play as a whole, thus making ,
it fit for the more refined playgoers of
today.
He has further taken the liberty of
inserting the speech, "'What is honor?"
from "Henry IV," and to add the "tag" i
from "All's Well That Ends Well," I
which may, to some, be a bit icono- !
clastic; but which, after all, are allow
able, even scholars say. Be this as it :
may, he has certainly given us a j
"Merry Wives" that is comparatively
clean, retaining all its essential ele
ments, and rounded out to a comple
tion that is happy in the extreme. And
that is far better than mutilating the
great dramatist's tragedies, as so many ,
players do.
Perhaps, had Shakespeare had more
than fourteen days In which to write ;
the comedy, he -would have made these ;
changes himself.
All Are Here
Also, Mr. James has retained all of
the wondrous men and women which
the comedy originally Introduced, and
whom every lover of the bard knows
so well. Falstaff, Shallow, Bardolph,
Pistol, Mistress Ford, Mistress Quick- I
ley. Mistress Page are here. It Is
like meeting a galaxy of old friends to
see them, and their every appearance j
is wholly a delight.
Of course Mr. James himself imper
sonates the immortal Si. John Falstaff.
Nay: he is Sir John. From the mo
ment he stepped forth last night, in ,
the glory of his scarlet doublet, vain, :
deceitful, rollicking and rotund, we :
knew that we had met the great
roysterer face to face. Of all the com
edy parts in the bard's great category,
this Is the best— if well portrayed. And
James Is FalstafT.
Time was— to be reminiscent again—
when this James was a tragedian— and
a good one, too. Macbeth, Vlrglnius,
Hamlet, Richard— has he done, and
splendidly. Ergo, in crossing the hair- i
line that separates the humorous from
the sublime, James takes with him full
knowledge jof their Infinite nearness,
one to the other. Perhaps that is why
I note. in his Falstaff, that tinge of the <
mock-heroic, that glint of the tragic
comic, that makes it so supremely fun
ny when he is simulating earnestness,
and so almost stirring when he Is mak
ing mirth. 1 conceive . that to him
Kalstalt is not an Intentional buffoon,
a vain strut, an egotistical ass. No;
he is a ponderous old chap who laughs
because he cannot help It, but who
hath a portentlously fine opinion of
himself withal, and a dignity that he
tries in vain to maintain. One sympa
thises with thin doughty flesh-moun-
I tain, not because he is worthy of sym
pathy, but because he knows he ought
to be but cannot.
Pity with Laughter
"Ami In the end, when he brings down I
upon his sodden head the consequences
he -so -richly deserves, one really feels
sorry even as one goes into gales of :
laughter; even as one admits that the I
; punishment la his due merit and re
: ward. He is a very human Falstaff, is
I Mf. James, and a very fascinating one.
lt Is not too much to opine that he Is

classic creations of the past, left en

the auxiliary players fit to sup
port this master of his art. From
leading man and woman to supers
the company could scarcely be
improved. To mention each seriatim
would b£ a pleasure and a just due, did
|my space permit. Nellie McHenry, for
1 instance, whose career has been one
long laugh, as Mistress Quickly is a
scream. Aphle James and Charlotte
Lambert are Mistresses Ford and Page,
and better ones never acted. Norman
Hackett as Master Ford Is a star in his
own right, and Lillian Lancaster as
Anne Page has so little to do, yet does
it so well withal, that she makes one
hunger for a longer sight of her. And
then there are William Chrystle Miller
as Shallow; Horace Lyndon as Slen
der, and Bardolph, and Pistol, and
Nym, and— and —
Ah, ladles and geetlemen of the com
pany, one and all. accept my humble
apologies for not naming every one of
you with your mead of praise; I sim
ply cannot, much as you all merit It.
Take the wish for the deed, and be
lieve me, in all my years as a writer I
never saw a better balanced company,
a heartier support, a more loyal ag
gregation of talent.
Scientifically, the production is both
correct and .sumptuous; the costumes
are elegant and true to the times; the
music- is all of the period and the whole
atmosphere Is maintained to the most
minute detail. It is a play In a thous
and, done in every way to the last cry
of excellence.
THREE SOLOISTS SAVE
"LA BOHEME" AT
THE AUDITORIUM
Vella Georgl, the lyric soprano of the
Lambardi opera troupe; Attilio Salva
neschi, lyric tenor, and Ugo Canettl,
basso, saved the production of "La
j Boheme" from almost failure at the
I Auditorium last night when the Lam
bardi company attempted Its Initial lo
cal performance of Puccini's master
piece.
j The voice of Canetti is worth going
; far to hear, and the score of Colllne
gave him more than ample opportunity
to display its finest qualities. Rich and
combining the rare feature of sweet
ness and depth, Caneti has sung his
' way fairly into the hearts of local opera
| lovers.
And, wonder of wonders, Canettl can
act. There is but little opportunity for
1 the basso to display that In "La 80
. heme," but Canetti's song of farewell
' to his coat in the last act brought forth
a storm of applause not only in appre
ciation of that famous snatch of music
but of the rare interpretation of what
the part called for .
i It was Salvaneschi's second appear
ance In Los Angeles and rarely has a
singer met with such favor as he re
ceived. The melodies of "La Boheme"
call for lyric work of rare sweetness
and Salvaneschl more than answered
expectations.
As for Vella Oeorgl, her first appear
ance met with such flattering apprecia
tion that opera devotees will not be
satisfied until they again hear that de
lightful poetry of song which Miss
, Georgi 1b so capable of giving them.
i "La Bobume" is an exacting opera
' and one of the sweetset that sunny
i Italy has given the yorld. The aria
carries more of the tender sympathy
! of the violin than any other composer
! has yet been able to Instill into his
masterpieces. But, alas! for Puccini
and his well deserved effort to combine
; the masterful influence of the immortal
i Wagner upon modern Italian opera. The
! value of Puccini's efforts along that
line has been appreciated on more than
one occasion in Los Angeles when the
Angelenos have been treated to well
trained, carefully educated choruses
who have managed to dug the score a*
it was written.
As for the chorus of the Lumbardi
company, it has been rumored that the
fair sopranos and gallant bassos and
tenors of that distinguished body were
collected from the byways and hedges
of Wutts and ('alabassa», and their
work of last night imply Justified the

accusation. When the chorus sang It
was abominable unless the members
were behind the scenes, where the
work of the director told. When they
were not singing they were attempting
to act and that lent a semi-comic ef
fect to the delicate sentiment of the
opera that was absurd.
Time after time the voice of the
prompter could be heard coaching- from
the wings when there appeared no other
necessity for his interference than that
he let the manager know that he was
at his post earning his money.
"La Boheme" will be presented twice
more during the week. Tonight, "Afrl
cana."
MIXED BILL AT THE
ORPHEUM HAS SOME
NOVEL AND GOOD STUNTS
Augusta Glose. in her original musi
cal monologue, features the bill at the
Orpheum this week.
There Is nothing but refinement to
to be seen in her every gesture and
her Imitations are so real that one
couldn't tell the difference between the
genuine thing and the duplicate. She
seems, like Caesar, to be doing seven
things at once. She plays the piano
with one hand, flirts with her fan with
the other hand, tells whole volumes
with her face, sings with her voice and
probably doeß much more with her feet
— If they could only be seen.
Francis d'Arcy, the soprano, has a
fair voice, but It is not nearly as good
as the general run of the Orpheum
singers and If she could use that sweet
smile of hers more and her voice less
It would be better.
Max Mlllian, a violin player, accom
panied by his sister, gives a good per
formance. He Is a fine musician, as is
also his sister. It is too bad that the
sister could not be heard more.
Collins and Hart, the strong men,
brought down the house. Their feats of
"strength" caused shivers and shakes
among the feminine portion of the
audience. They bring a cat on the
stage which blows a horn and does a
few other marvelous thing that no otid
ever heard of a cat doing.
Rice and Cady, whom everyone will
remember at the Mason last summer,
appear at the Orpheum this week in a
new act entitled "Playing tho Ponies."
They are the same old Dutchmen that
they always were.
The holdovers are Burton and
Brookes In a new act, "A Qpiet Even-
Ing at the Club"; Hanson and Nelson,
expert exponents of singing and danc
ing, and the Six Cllnserettis, acrobats.
BELASCO PLAYERS
CONTINUE THE "ZENDA"
STORY WITH "RUPERT"
The Belasco Theater company con
tinues this week the story of "Zendu,"
In which It delighted (urge audiences
all lust week, giving now the sequel,
"Rupert of Hentiau." The characters
are the same in both plays, and In the
main the cast is retained just as it was
last week.
"Rupert," as a play Is inferior to
"Zenda." Always, sequela are. But
this la peculiarly so, In that the love
Interest is so weakened as to be well
nigh destroyed.
In "Zenda" is offered a noble, ilnqajf
and beautiful love of v man for a

hopeless. Voluntarily these two per
sons remain irui- to their hlghem idi-ul.s,
ami part when by a single trlik they
might live happily together. And
though ll ends eudly, "Zanda" ends
worthier and leav«« one in tears, but
with a deep affection for the lovers
tiiat remains.
"Rupert," on the other hand, oarrifj

goes astray. Thereafter, though he
makes stirring rescues and acts the
manly part, It is Impossible to forget
that he is conniving with another man's
wife — and that doesn't make for
heroics. Though in the end he gives his
life freely, and she is left to mourn at
his bier, it isn't the right ending, and
it isn't the noble ending, such as
"Zenda" afforded.
But "Rupert" Is a component part of
the V'Zenda" story, and It should have
been given, as it is, to finish out the
sequence.
In this week's production Miss Gard
ner as Flavia, Mr. Btone as the king
and Rudolph, and William Yerance as
Sapt are excellent, especially Stone.
Vivian, Glendenning and Glazier also
merit especial mention.
Los Angeles Choral Concert
A special concert Is to be given in
Gamut Club hall tomorrow night under
the leadership of Prof. Jahn, assisted by
the members of the Los Angeles Choral

adlng Charge and Justice
Will Decide Today
. The case against Leon T. Shettler,
manager of the Jleo Automobile
company, and 11. M. Fuller, his chauf
feur, for blockading the street at Third
street, between Main and Los Angeles,
on October 10, was given a Jury trial
yesterday In Police Judge Chambers
court. Testimony consumed the entlrn ,
day, and the case was continued until
9 o'clock this morning.
October 10 Bhettler In an automobile
was following behind a West Adams
car, going east. When the car was
near Main street ' it stopped and
started back, and Mr. Shettler
also backed his machine, but
the motorman did not give him
time to turn from the track, and ran
his car within a few feet of the auto.
Shettler says he was placed In a posi
tion whefe he did not have room to
get off the track without colliding 1 with
a wagon behind him, and had he at
tempted to go ahead ho would prob
ably have torn off the step of his ma
chine against the street car. He asked
the motorman to back six feet. The
motorman refused to do so, and ran
his car further on. In the expectation
of frightening Mr. Knottier Into driv
ing oft the track, and the car was
brought within a foot of the auto.
For forty-five minutes, according to
testimony, the motorman and Mr. ■
Shettler argued, both refusing to back
in favor of the other. It was shown'
by testimony that nothing prevented i
the motorman from backing, while the
street was densely packed with on- j
lookers and vehicles behind and on '
both sides of the auto.
Finally a policeman arrested Shet- i
tier on a charge of blockading the
street, and forced the motorman to ]
back his car In order to let the auto
mobile pass.
Much interest Is centered on the de
cision of the case by automobile own
ers, as it will settle more definitely the
question of rights of way between i
street cars and automobiles.
CONTRACTORS MUST
HURRY WITH SCHOOLS
BOARD OF EDUCATION MAY
BEGIN BUIT
Builders Ask for More Time to Com.
plete Contracts, but Are Notified
if Work Is Not Done on Time Case
for Damages Will Be Instituted
By action of the board of education
taken last night Noyes & Boggs, the
contractors who are building the
Washington street school, will have to
do some extraordinarily quick work to
avoid suit for breach of contract. For
a long time contractors on school
buildings have been taking their own
time to complete the structures, re
gardless of contract date, knowing that
the board would grant them additional
time if It were asked; but the action
taken last night will disabuse their
minds of such hopes in the future.
When Noyes & Boggs requested
that they be granted till December 10
to finish the school which they had
contracted to complete by November
15, it seemed that the necessary per
mission would be given. A motion to
that effect had already been made
when Joseph Scott declared that he
was tired of such proceedings.
"They have been coming before us
fvith such requests all year," he said,
"and I am about tired of it. I amend
that motion to read that they be given
no more time, and the penalties of the
contract be enforced.
It developed that the contract con
tained no compulsory clause, and a
few of the members were in favor of
granting the asked for permission since
the contractors could not be heard.
Mr. Scott then arose and moved that
they be notified that failure to fulfill
the conditions of the contract would
be considered grounds for a suit for
damages for breach of contract, this
motion being carried.
PROMISE NEW SCHOOLS SOON
After many weeks of weary delay,
the chances are that five more schools
will be opened the early part of next
week. A great deal of delay was oc
casioned by the failure of the contract
ors to finish the building, and now,
when the buildings are ready, another
wait is being cuused by lack of
benches. According to Mr. Guinn of
the board of education, Contractor We
ber had sent for the desks in ample
time, but the factory could not manu
facture them fast enough. When they
were finally shipped they were Blde
tracked during a freight Jam and were
delayed several weeks In this way.
The building committee of the board
of education will visit the different
new schoob Thursday or Friday, and
If the benches can be put In, the Euclid
avenue, the Gates street, the Second
street and tho Fifty-fourth avenue
schools will be opened next Monday.
The Hobart street school will be ready
by the middle of next week.
