MORE LAND BOUGHT THAN ANTICIPATED REALTY FIRM FINDS IT OB TAINS ADDITIONAL TRACT Frontage on Arrowhead Boulevard la Included In Deal, Which Did Not Show Up Until Deeds Were Transferred SAN BERNARDINO, May 16.— learn It had obtained a frontage of 1850 feet on Arrowhead avenue which it had not bargained for when it recently pur chased the entire local holdings of the Fair estate, is the sensational findings of the MUler-McKlnney company 01 this city. . y It sometimes occurs that when the deeds are received the purchasers learn they have paid for something they dm t get, but this is the first case on record here of getting property worth thou sands of dollars that the buyer didn t figure on when the offer was made. Recently the real estateiflrm com pleted a deal by whicn for the exchange of $12,000 it was given title to the local property of the Fair estate, consisting of forty-five acres at Highland avenue and Arrowhead boulevard, about twenty acres at Highland avenue and G street, twenty-one acres on Highland avenue, opposite the St. Elmo school and two 20-acre tracts southeast of the city on Waterman avenue. The deal was considered an exceptionally good one even before the revelation that the 1630-foot frontage on Arrowhead ave nue had been included in the deeds transferring the property. .: '.''_,< . The buyers supposed the forty acres at Highland and Arrowhead ave nues lay at the northeast corner of the I crossing. But when the plat was made, up by the abstractors it was found that the land extended 160 feet west on C I street, which gave them a tract 16..0 x, 160, which they had not been figur ing on. _ » » S. P. TO RUN FOUR TRAINS THROUGH SAN BERNARDINO Company Will Build Line from Colton to Go by Way of Red. lands SAN BERNARDINO, May 16.—Ac cording to the plans of the Southern Pacific, that • company before many months will be running four of its overland passenger trains a day through San Bernardino. In order to be placed on an equal footing with the Santa Fe and bait Lake, whose through trains all pass through this city, in the competition for that passenger service the South ern Pacific has now recognized the 'Importance of running at least a por tion of their trains to and from the east via San Bernardino. In order to do this it will be neces sary to secure a new right of way from Redlands to this city, as the county supervisors several months ago denied the request for the privilege of stand ardizing the present narrow gauge mo tor line between the two cities. De spite this fact, however, the railroad company is making every effort to se cure a new and private right of way over which it will run the through trains between Redlands and San Ber nardino. ' , F B Daley, representing the com pany in the matter of obtaining the new right of way, states it probably will be arranged soon. Under the plan the eastbound trains will be diverted from the present main line at Colton, thus avoiding the heavy grade from that point north to Red lands, and also giving this city direct overland service, eliminating the dis agreeable transfer at Colton. From here the trains will go to Redlands. joining the main line at that point. Westbound trains will be handled In the opposite manner. MAN BEFRIENDED BELIEVED TO BE BARBER SHOP THIEF Acquaintance Permits Man to Occupy His Room and Robbery Soon Takes Place SAN BERNARDINO, May 16.—The first downtown robbery to be reported to the police for several months oc curred early this morning at the opera house barber shop tn D street.

Sufferers from apoplexy will instinc tively avoid the Majestic theater this week, where those Irrepressible fun makers, Kolb and Dill, are presenting what is perhaps their most successful vehicle of the season. "Playing the Ponies," as the latest triumph of far cical situation is called, won a contin uous ovation Sunday night, and while unconscionably long, even for a first night it scored Its surest points in the last half hour—"a time when even the merriest of plays usually begins to drag and pall. There is nothing accidental about the humor of Kolb and Dill, artless as some of their most telling sallies seem. Each is a carefully differentiated type of Teuton—Dill of the Ingenuous, un-. assimilated foreigner; Kolb, with a quite apparent touch of the Yankee and a veneer of the west which marks him clearly from the familiar Lew Fields' characterization. Abounds in Plots "Playing the Pones" really has a plot, It would be more accurate to de scribe it as composed of innumerable' plots which all fail of successful clipiax through the diligence of those artful intruders, Kolb and Dill. Triumphant virtue never had merrier or more de voted champions. Of course there is a "fixed" jockey, and of course there is a handy substi tute, who bears to victory the colors of the father of his best friend's fian cee. The two funmakers are rival claimants for the parentage of the winning jockey, the doubtful identity recalling Mark Twain's bath tub epi sode too familiarly to be classed as really original. Which "father" is the true one we do not -learn, and we are Just as glad to remain in ignorance. In a series of amusing contretemps the plots unwind, tangle and emerge in a laughable denouement, in which broad farce and brisk repartee mingle deftly. The musical numbers injected from time to time are particularly melodious and well placed, and the chorus Sunday night sang with vigor and aplomb. Notable musical numbers were "Easy Money," by Mr. Chase, and "Telephone Me, Dearie," wherein Misses Mabel Baker and Gertrude Al zora, suavely assisted by Kolb and Dill, enacted one of the brightest of the recent crop of telephone ditties. Miss Stech Charms Sidney de Grey was a likable plotter and Adele Rafter a very fascinating accomplice. Miss Olga. Stech, a Los Angeles girl, Is a dainty little actress who danced ' bewitchlngly and who sang with charm when she had over come that first faintness of voice and breathless utterance which beset every returning native on his own country- Ride. Her interpolated song, "Beauti ful Eyes," In the second act won re peated encores. Mr. Duncan and Mr. Bronson. as jockey and trainer, respectively, brought a breath of the track with them. The staging was faultless, aside from the cruelty of exhibiting appar ently bona fide champagne before a hopelessly thirsty Sunday night audi ence. The next attraction at the Majestic will be a revival of "Lonesome Town," in which Kolb and Dill are expected to frolic next week. • . ■ Murray and Mack opened the new week at the Grand Sunday afternoon with that rollicking musical comedy, "Shooting the Chutes." With several new songs and a handsomely gowned chorus, these popular comedians have revamped a fort.ier play and brought it up to date in a manner that bids fair to place another permanent suc cess to their credit. Next to the dry humor of Murry and the inimitable drolleries of Mack, first honors in "Shooting the Chutes" must go to Miss Lillie Sutherland, whose "Miss Hor tense," accompanied by a sprightly chorus, was a pretty piece of dancing. Miss Bessie Tannehill won deserved applause In a bit of genuine pathos depleting the seven ages of romance, from babyhood to the aged couple Hearing the end of life's pathway hand in hand. The very Incongruous tune was "Cuddle Up a Little Closer, Lovey Mine," but both acting and singing were so mutually appropriate that this solecism passed unnoticed. A clerical exponent of muscular Christianity and another of those stage Englishmen who block the most sober efforts to ward an Anglo-American alliance were other diverting features. Murray and Mack's burlesques on a ball game, a poker game and a box ing match—our three national amuse ment staples-«must not be overlooked. "Shooting the Chutes" should please the Grand's patrons this week. • —W. H. B. • • * The Burbank stock company has al ready made two or three distinct hits In musical comedy, and the "Circus Girl," which opened Sunday afternoon, bids fair to eclipse all previous work along that line. The piece itself is certainly one of the best of the kind ever seen on the coast. The lyrics by Harry Greenbank and Adrian Ross are appropriately humorous or sentimental, as the oc casion demands, and the music by Ivan Caryll has a catchy lilt and rhythmical novelty that will make it popular with the whistling crowd, as well as with those who enjoy something not too stereotyped. , The scenes on a Parisian boulevard outside a cafe. In the ring and green room of Drlvelli's circus, and finally at the artists' ball during the fetes of the Mi-Careme in Paris, all afford op portunity for brilliant costuming, and the Introduction of amusing songs and dances. • ... - • Book Is Merry One The book fairly .bristles with jokes that are really funny and scene two of the second ! act was literally one < con tinuous laugh. The credit for the sun. ___..,: *«_r_____r 4 * n „-^4___^^_____________,_J':*_ ■«■'*«_* _.._.■. i.,«V_ijl. cess of this scene is due not only, to the author, but also to the quintet of clever actors who interpreted the parts. Desmond, Mestayer, Burton, Stock bridge and Giblyn did some concerted work that deserves more than passing comment. So deftly were the comedy touches managed that no one actor outshone the others. There are twelve song numbers In the first act, and of these the most de cided hits were made by Blanche Hall in "My Honeymoon Balloon," and later with William Desmond in a par ticularly novel act and song, "In the Ring," wherein Miss Hall charms her audience by her dainty insouciance. Henry Stockbridge and the show girls have a delightful rainy day song, and Messrs. Desmond, Stockbridge and Mestayer sing "I Love Her" with a unanimity of melody and a dance which all but put Mr. Desmond in the "Cohenesque" class. .Miss Agnes Cain-Brown has three songs which fit her beautiful soprano voice admirably. "The Circus Girl" was effectively delivered, while in her closing number, "If You Only Will," a familiar old Italian folk melody is utilized, which suits her rich, full voice to perfection. This is one of the best songs in the entire play, and the listeners last night regretted Miss Cain-Brown's refusal of further en cores. Finale Is Spoiled Two beautifully costumed songs were '•Clowns," by Margo Duffet, Henry Stockbridge. and the ponies, and "A Little Bit of String," by Miss Hall and the entire chorus. The finale of this latter number was spoiled last night by some unruly stage machinery, but when that roughness is overcome the number will take its place among the many picturesque and musical attrac tions of the bill. Byron Beasley, as Drivelli, the pro prietor of the circus; Carol Marshall, as Mine. Drivelli, and Louise Hoyco all achieved their accustomed success, and Mr. Beasley was especially happy In his two songs, "The Uses of Adver tisement" and "The Master of the Ring." The chorus is well costumed and sings in good voice, while the dances are Intricate and graceful, the ponies are lively and the show girls effective. The baton of Harry Girard points not alone to musical harmony, but to an admirable ensemble in all lines of work. His nod infuses veritable, gin ger into the toes of the dancers and the music moves with a swing and rhythm that make it doubly enjoyable.
