HOTEL RIVALRY
GROWING KEEN
TOURIST BUSINESS BOOMS AS
DIRECT RESULT
New Wentworth and Great Addition to

T'ASAOKNA, Jan. U.— BuSinefS men
me Watching uith keen interest the
result of n double hotel buttle. The
tiKbt. though, of course, none of the
hotel people would admit that ono ex
ists, Is between the twn lieuest hostel
rien nmi tho two oldest, and supposed*
ly most (Irmly Intrenched. However,
ono of the youngster*, is tiiw
for almost the fust time, experti nclng
the rent measure of great success and
is, correspondingly, cutting into the
business of its nearest rival.
The contest is as yot absolut< ly good
natured, bui how long It Will thus < •m
tlnue with old customers going to a
new hotoi in an unsolved question. Two
yonrs ago there were, in the estimation
of many, but two great tourist hotels
In Pasadena— tho Hotel Green and the
Hotel Raymond. T>ltllc by little addi
tion* to the Hotel Maryland have
sprung up until that, caravansarl has
assumed mammoth proportions and the
Green suddenly realizes that tho "little
colonial house," as It was once called,
is now a keen rival.
CouplPd with this discovery pomes
the announcement of another addition
to cost $150,000, to be built next sum
mer to the Maryland, which will make
the hotel one. of the largest in this
section.
As a rival to the Hotel Raymond
comos the new Hotel Went worth, which
Is to open Its doors for guests within
tho next few weeks. Iloth are semi
suburban hotels, each with a very
large site, some distance from any
city. As General Wentworth managed
the Hotel Raymond for many years It
is natural that both should now be
after the same business.
Keen as the rivalry Is up to tho
present time, it has simply served to
attract more people to Pasadena than
usual. All the four bis: hotels appro
plate that business must be developed
to make room for tho big enlargements
and so tho oast is being liberally can
vassed. The quartet of hostelries is
pending out booklets advertising the
Crown City and Souther/1 California
and In the resulting rush of business
all will prosper. Tho Hotel Maryland
alone has about 3."0 guests, ninny more
than it would have accommodated a
couple of years ago with comfort.
PASADENA BANKErtS AT PLAY

Special to The Herald,
PASADENA, Jan. 13. -Tho annual
banquet of the employes and directors
of tho Pasadena First National bank
was lield last evening at the Hotel

proprlately ticketed.
Toller Macdonnell, one of the bright
est story tellers and wits of the Insti

occasion had a double significance in
that it was a farewell to former

afternoon was elected cashier of the
National Bank of California In Los An
geles.
Mr. RoR-ers was presented with a
beautiful Rift, a solid silver desk set,

guests of the evening.
The repast was served in the beau

Hotel Maryland, which Managvr r>. M.

DECLARE TUESDAY
PUBLIC HOLIDAY
LONG BEACH ANXIOUS FOR
SHIP PLANT
Twenty Thousand Dollars Must Be
Added to the Fund Already in
Hand to Assure Success
of Enterprise
Special to The Herald,
LONG BEACH, Jan. 13.— Whether or
not the Craig 1 shipbuilding plant shall
be located at this city will probably
be determined Tuesday, when a final
and united effort will be made to s<"
cure the remainder of the fund neces
sary to pay for the site asked by the
Toledo, Ohio, ship makers. To help
. ;iii>ng the city council has
di clared Tuesday a public holiday,
and Mayor Downs has issued a procla
mation to that effect.
Enthusiasm in the move to secure the
desired Industry for the new harbor
grew rapidly last week. Nightly meet-
Ings were hold to hear reports of com
mittees appointed to secure subscrip
tions.
The fund already secured amounts to
about $80,000. To this $20,000 must be
added within a short time to make
sine that the coveted plant will not go
elsewhere along the south coast. It Is
practically certain that the cash yet
necessary Will be secured before Tues
day night.
When the $100,000 fund has been
raised and there is no longer any
question as to the success of the move
ment a great jubilee will be held.
There will be speeches, banqueting and
merry making and probably an old
fashioned bonfire.
Means Much for Long Beach
It is generally conceded that the es
tablishment of the Craig plant on the
Los Angeles Dock and Terminal com
pany's new Long Beach harbor will
mean much for the future of both the
harbor enterprise and the commercial
growth of the city.
The Craig company offered to estab
lish a plant here if a site of thirty-two
acres along tho harbor was given it
free of charge. This site was valued
by the terminal company at $400, 000,
hut realizing the magnitude of the en
terprise In question and its probable
effect upon hong Beach's development
the owners agreed to sell the thirty
two acres for $100,000 if this sum was
raised by public subscription. Commit
teea were at once appointed at a meet
ing of citizens and the work has been
going merrily on ever since.
Th>- officials of the terminal com
pany say that the Craigs have con
tracted to put in their plant as soon
as possible after the site is deeded to
them.
The Craig company has constructed
nearly a score of the larger vessels
plying along tho Pacific coast and their
desire to locate on the coast is actuated,
it is said, by the fact that numerous
contracts for other vessels for this
coast arc now on their hands and must
Boon be filled.
Several hundred men would be em
ploy, d in the Long Beacb shipbuilding
works. In thy ship yards would be
maintained a marine ways costing
$75,000.

I'ASADENA, Jan. 13.— Tho rain, which

ALL IS READY FOR JUBILEE
Residents of Warring Beach Cities
Will Join Hands for Better
Feeling
Pprci.nl tn The Herald,
OCEAN PARK, Jan. 13. — All Is in
readiness for the grand jubilee ball to
be held at the Horseshoe auditorium to
morrow night when it is expected that
the various opposing factions of this
section will bury all past differences
and join hands, firmly resolved to
henceforth work as a united body for
the interests nf the Santa Monica bay
district as a whole.
Community misunderstandings are to
disappear like sun-kissed frost, and the
bitter feeling that exists between tho
officials of the two cities will dissolve
as septic tank donations should, if there
is no hitch in the arrangements.
On this point, however, there appears
to be some question. A. R. Fraser, pres
ident of the Community league, has
publicly announced that neither he or
any member of his family will attend or
take any interest in the success of the
ball, and it is said that other well
known men of affairs, both here and at
Santa Monica, have declared themselves
opposed to the arrangements.
Incidentally it Is a part of the plans
to enrich the band fund with the pro
ceeds from the sale of tickets, which
command $5 each, and of which Chair
man C, H. Brown expects about 400 will
be sold.

HOLY FAMILY IS
CHRISTIAN MODEL
Rev. Francis J. Conaty Instructs Moth.
ers and Fathers in Religious Care
and Training of Their
Children
"Parental Duties " -was the topic of
an eloquent sermon preached yesterday
j morning at the Cathedral of St. Vibi
, ana by Rev. Francis J. Conaty, who
' took his text from the Gospel of the
fust Sunday after Epiphany: "And he
[went down with them, and came to
Nazareth, and was subject to them."
St. Iviike, 2:31. H. said in part:
•These words give us a picture of the
lfo of our Lord dining- ihe many years
spent in the quiet home of Nazareth.
They tell us of years of love and obedi
ence, the Christ-child doing the will Of
the blessed mother his creature, the
Me S >el Virgin, faithful to the duties
that were imposed by God upon the
mother of his divine son: St. Joseph
caring for and protetcting the divine
child and his blessed mother. The holy
family is the model of the Christian
family. The love and obedience of
Nazareth should be In every Christian
home inspiring the faithful accomplish
ment of duty.
Duty of Parents
"The great commandment of the
love of God and of neighbor is the
foundation of all man's duties. Enemy
ns well as friend must be loved by
man: this Is Christ's law. Parents
must love thrir children, not alone,
with the love that is natural to father
and mother, but with true Christian
love; that love which makes them see
in the child to whom they have given
life a creature of Cod, sent Into this
woi Id to know, love and serve him;
Christian love that makes them realize
that their child has an immortal soul
to save and that the responsibility of
salvation rests, in great part, on them;
Christian love that t-Ils them of serious
obligations as parents to instruct the
young mind in the truths of religion,
to train it properly in the exercise of
faith — in a word, to do everything In
their power by word and example to
make their' children strong and faith
ful < 'hristlans.
"How are parents to fulfill their ob
ligations towards their children? How
are they to imprint on the souls of
the young that string faith that ■will
be their guide and strength in all the
trials of life? Instruction and exam
ple, these are the great moans.
"The religious Instruction of the child
should commence when the tiny lips
begin to form their first words, and to
end — In eternity. Instruction in faith
is a preparation for eternity, Is the
search after the truth, and should not
end until we posse?" the eternal truth,
God himself.
Child Is Imitator
"Our experience tells us that the In
struction in the honip is the best, that
tho Impressions of faith received from
a loving mother or a tender, God-fear
ing father, are the strongest and most
lasting. The children of today are the
men and women of tomorrow, and our
experience will be theirs. The past
should rule the present, the present tho
future; and parents who can realize
so much from their own ilfe should be
strict In the performance of duties that
mean so much in tho life of the child.
"Good example must go hand In hand
with instruction. There is no power
for good or evil equal to that of ex
ample. Words persuade, example leads
to action. To the child example means
in., re than words. The life of the child
is ;i life of imitation. The child's love
for father and mother leads it to fol
low their r-very act. and makes It feel
thai whatever they do is right. Christ
said: 'Suffer the little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not.' It Is
the important duty of the parents to
lead the little ones to Christ by their
example. To negled tO give good ex
ample Is to neglect their duty to Ood
as w ill as to their children. To give
bail example, to mv scandal to the
little "ins of Christ, to take from them
the heritage of faith, ta to merit the
eternal anger of God.
"Parents should realise their obli
gations and should be faithful In their
fulfillment. Next to their own souls.
not hing is nearer to them than the
BOUIS of their children. They cannot
save th "ir own souls unless faithful
in the performance of the duties im
pose,| upon them, of bringing their chil
dren up ill the fear and love of God."

Episodical and unreal as It Is, and
strenuous withal. It yet makes ■ stir

their liking yesterday.
nut even the seasoned critic, though
he may find fault with the play, must
admit that it Is worth while If only to
afford Miss Van Buren this line op
portunity to show her talents and Win*
■omemsß. She proves so beautiful, so
fetching, so lightsome and yet so lov
able; so harum-scarum, yet so real and
loyal, that one smiles with her wit and
weeps with her woes perforce, even
though one notes the Inconsistencies
and condemns the morale of it all. Miss
Van Huron is a consummate actress
lnI In such roles as this, and Manager
Morosco will be wise if he puts on
more such plays. It would be a de
light to see her In "Knighthood," for
instance; how well she would portray
the fiery sister of bluff King Hal!
Quite n«xt to Miss Van Buren— nay,
right up with her— ls Henry Stock

of this rather unusual character, and
proves himself an artist of the highest

the irascible Sir George, were it not
that his underpinning calls forth a

and Phyllis Grlffen is bright as Jen

historically correct in detail, especially
as to Haddon hall, are pi turesque and
satisfactory. The play as a whole goes
well, and much might be said of the
ensemble, did not Mary Van Buren —

THRILLS ABOUND IN
GOOD MELODRAMA
AT THE PEOPLE'S
One can see a good melodrama, a
good company and the women can
revel In sight of a beautiful wardrobe
this week. All of this 1b embraced in
"The Gambler's Sweetheart," which
played to a good house yesterday at the
People's.
The plot hinges on the resemblance
of twin slaters, one of whom Ib en
gaged to marry Governor Hawthorne
of the sunny south, and the other Is
linked to a villain by wedlock. The
turns of fate that beset these young
women save to maintain a warm inter
est by the audience, the love story be
ing of the heart throbs kind and the
villainy clear cut and suddenly ter
minated In the defeat of the schemer.
Miss I^eota Howard, the star, Is
handsome, speaks her lines well and
wears gowns becomingly. She puts life
into her acting and has the parquette
and the gallery with her all through
the play. Supporting her is a company
of much merit.
MINSTREL SHOW
AT THE GRAND BRINGS
UP OLD MEMORIES
Once a year amusement lovers like
their minstrel show as they do their
circus. It brings back the old times.
Thoy can get reminiscences at the
Grand this week, hear a few songs well
sung and laugh at Jokes that pleased
in other days and some of which still
please.
West's rninstrelfl hold the boards,
though the lamented West is no longer
here. Sam. ml B. ltlcaby, for years
associated with the late minstrel king,
is now at the head of the troupe.
Singers are well placed in the pres
ent company, but the end men are not
up to the old standard. The humor of
George Van and Dick Mitchell is in sad
need of revision and freshening.
The introductory overture, made up
of the company's solo strength of seven
voices, it; the usual minstrel medley,
which unfortunately is too short. The
audience wanted more of It. The work
of J. Koswell Wright stood out bright
est here. Wright sang the old fash
ioned, sweetly beautiful ballad, "Sil
ver Threads Among the Gold," us It
has never been sung here before.
Wright Is a male soprano of remark
able purity of tone. His voice 1b as
clear as o bell, his music Hows with
the ease of running water. Many a
woman singer envied the clarity and
ease of voii-e which Is Wright's gift,
and Ills work was by far the best of the
engagement.
James «'antwell Is also blessed with
■ line tenor, his song, "Kince Nellie
Went Away," making a good Impres
sion. William Hcnaud, the bass, sang
well, but his selection was not a
happy <'ii<-. In the bass repertoire there
are many better ones which be OOUld
■Ing and ■hint at it. Dick Mitchell's
laughing song had the unual effect of
provoking laughter, but It was almost
painful to see Mitchell forcing the
work.
The "Battleship Four," a quartet
which doe* ten minutes of laugh mak
ing, is well worth while. It made
friends quickly.
Major Smith, "the man in white,"
doeß good work of the drum major
variety lv twirling a baton, and fol
lows It up with his Hindoo devil sticks,
a remarkable show. With two polntem
he spins a light stick in countless evo
