LABOR TEMPLE IS DEDICATED MAYOR M'CARTHY OF SAN FRANCISCO PRESIDES ADDRESSES 2500 UNION MEN IN ELABORATE CEREMONY Defends Himself Against Recent At. tack Made by Isadora Ja cobs, a San Francisco Contractor The labor unions of Los Angeles, as sisted by a delegation of labor leaders from San Francisco, Including Mayor 1". H. McCarthy, dedicated their new Labor Temple, 54S Maple avenue, last evening with impressive ceremony. About 2500 union men of the city and their friends were present and f(Jr more than three hours inspected the new building, an interest in which many of tliem own, and listened to the addresses of men high in union circles. San Francisco's chief executive made the dedicatory address. He spoke of the months of effort on the part of local unionists which the building' had cost, and bade all those present keep the work going. He spoke of the temple as being perhaps the greatest monument j to organized labor in the United States. After the dedication the guests of last evening enjoyed dancing and other amusements in the different parts of tlie building, and light refreshments were served. Before his speech Mayor McCarthy spoke of the accusatfons made against him recently by Isadore Jacobs, a con tractor of San Francisco. "That man has been slandering me for several years past," he said. "I have up until now said nothing in. an swer to his vile insinuations against my character. Recently, however, while he was in the city of Napa ho referred to me as a common drunkard. I wrote him a letter, not denying his charge, but simply telling him what I thought of a man who would make such a state ment. In reply he took back and brand ed as false everything he had said about me. He is nothing politically in San Francisco, and I have no more fear of him or anything he can say than I have of a fly."

CHILDREN HAVE GREAT FUN ' AT MUNICIPAL PLAYGROUND Washington's birthday was observed at the municipal recreation center, corner of St. John and Holly streets, by a program of athletic events and. a patriotic t ddress by Mark G. Koppel, county superintendent of schools. The gymnasium, which is an Ideal aud itorium as well as one of the most com pletely equipped athletic centers of the city, was filled with excited boys and Kills, who received Mr. Keppel'.s talk on the "Father of Our Country" with enthusiasm, and then rushed out of the playground, where foot races and sack races, as well as match games of vol leyball and basketball were played under the direction of Superintendent H. R. Moberley. In the evening the older boys' class gave an exhibition performance In the gymnasium. Lee C.

When we first contracted for representation in The Herald we did so with the expectation of reoeiring certain re sults./ I am happy to say that our expectations have ' been more than realized; in fact, we are almost as tounded at the benefits reoeived through our adver tisements in The Herald. This goes to show conclus ively that a good offer, made through a good medium, will not beg a buyer for any length of time. Knowing our proposition to be good, and believing The Herald to be one of the best advertising mediums on the Pacific Coast, by reason of representing the purchasing power of this particular section, we shall oonsider it good business policy, to oontinue our advertising in The Herald. i s Very truly yours, \ 1 .

The Theaters With two exceptionally strong turns and others of more'or less worth, the vaudeville bill at the Los Angeles the ater this week looms large as one of the most entertaining offerings Sulli van & Considine have sent this way for some time. The bill Is of a char acter to please all and is drawing ca pacity houses at each performance. Al. W. Fremont and his . company present a melodramatic sketch full of thrills " and human interest, entitled "Tho Way of the West." The only trouble with the sketch is its name. Nobility of character is no more the way of the west than of the east. Im possible as the story of the playlet is, it is interesting and very well 'pre sented by the company of three. It Is the story of a well-bred young man turned outlaw, his sister on a still hunt for him, a sheriff, a blizzard and a holdup. Of course the outlaw robs his own sister, the sheriff falls in love with her, and the brother is captured. The outlaw goes free to begin captured, outlaw goes free to begin life over again, although he has shot the sher iff's brother dead. The outlaw is the best actor in the company because of his careful attention to details of his character. The sheriff's role is a "fat 1' one and is capably handled by Mr. Fre mont.. He is exceptionally clever in his love scene. Edgar Berger is a really wonderful hand-balancer. He. is as limber as a piece of rubber and does some tricks which startle. The Bomany opera company of seven members presents selections from well known operas and several popular Italian street snngs. Sally Stembler, who is an old favor ite, sings three pleasing songs. Her laughing song is a big hit. Gardner, Rankin and Gardner, who play half a dozen musical instruments with equal ease; Eddie Dolan, who contributes laughter as a result of his monologue, and the motion pictures complete the bill. • • • "Bargain Day," the current offering at Fischer's theater, is a big laugh producer. The scenes are laid in a department store. Billy Onslow and Max Steinle as amateur detectives em ployed by the store to run down a thief caus-e no end of fun. They en liven things with, local quips and say ings familiar to bargain hunters. John Cook Is cast as the proprietor of the store and does well with his part. Billy Howard as a clerk gets the best out of the role. . Nan Halperin and Annie Bauman as the proprietor's daughters, one of which is eventually discovered to be the cause of all the trouble, are excellent. Miss Halperin gets lots of fun out of her part and her songs, whllo Miss Bauman does well as the sister. Tho chorus has been augmented by two and appeared to be unusually vivacious and gingery. • • * "A Day at the Races" proved an en joyable entertainment to patrons of the Olympic theater. Unique in its style, it gives Mendel and Williams, the German comedians, many oppor tunities to exploit their eccentricities. The comedy is designed chiefly to amuse, and in that fulfills its mission. Blossom Seeley in a new specialty received mvmerous encores. Anna 11. Golde in a novelty number displays grace and charm. Albert Leonard, Wal ter Spencer and Laurel Atkins Blair assist in rounding out an excellent bill. • • * The coming week" at the Orpheum will be notable for the first production in a local vaudeville house of a play written by an Angeleno. The one who thus establishes a record is Miss Ruth Comfort Mitchell, the talented daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Mitchell, the former being the proprietor of the Hollenbeck hotel. The play will be given by Julius Steger with a com pany of six. "The Way to the Heart' is the title of Miss Comfort's playlet. • • * Miss Marie Booth Russell, who plays the leading feminine roles in Mantell's productions, i.s said to possess the most remarkable memory among all actresses devoting their» attention to the legitimate drama. Miss Russell is able to memorize by one reading the longest Shakespearean roles. During the week of Mr. Mantell's engagement at the Mason opera house, commencing Monday night, she will be seen as an impersonator of the widely varying characters: Marie in Delavigne's "Louis XI." Lady Mac beth, Ophelia in "Hamlet," Desde mona in "Othello," Gonerll in "King Lear" and ltosalind in "As You Like It." • • •. Miss Lucretia del Valle, a well known Los Angeles society girl and niece of Senator del Valle, has been engaged to speak the prologue in David Belasco's comedy "Sweet Kitty Bellair3" at the Burbank next week. ♦-•-• —■ EASILY DEMONSTRATE VERDI'S POPULARITY Florence Bosard Lawrence Verdi's popularity with the opera going public was once more demon strated when the curtain rose last night on "11 Trovatore," showing a house which was filled to the last rows and enthusiastic to a marked degree The familiar melodies never failed to elli it delighted aplause ami the singers last night offered a renditipn of these which made them noteworthy. "II Trovatore" was given a much better production than that of the opening ! bill, and both Adaberto and Scalabrini had many admlrrers in the audience watting to offer the homage of a wel ; >'<iiiilng hand-clapping 1. Mmp. Kster Adaberto looked a very beautiful Leonora, Indeed, costumed with a brilliance as delightful as it has been unprecedented in this com pany, and sang the role with a mastery of vocal and emotional requirements. She achieved an undoubted triumph, and the beauty of her stage presence, her dignity and grace make her indeed a delight to the eye, while her voice, dramatic in power yet with the sweet tones of the lyric singer, is under ex cellent control and responded with satisfactory results to each fresh de mand made by the constant solos, duets and concerted numbers of this opera. The brilliantly beautiful second act gave Dolores Frau and Scalabrini as Azucent and Manrico an opportunity for distinctioin both vocally and dra matically. Madame Frau is far better in this role and this scene than in any other work she has done here. She forgot the rather stilted dramatic ac tion which she usually allows herself, and in the more impassioned passages seemed fairly carried avvny from the self-conscious attitude which threatens occasionally to prove a distinct draw back to her operatic success. In the role of the gypsy mother, however, this fault Is less noticeable and wan scarcely manifested at all last night in the early | scene of the second act. In the vocali zation of this part there was a more deoUtod reliance and finish than she demonstrated In n«f work in the first | bill of the week.

Of wide range, powerful and well placed, Scalabrlni promises to maintain the favorable place he made for himself In the affection of local audiences last winter. The ovation which followed his song, "Oh, Night of Horror," was one of the most spontaneous demonstrations that the house has ever held, and was a well deserved tribute to artistry com pelling and delightful. While he is not dramatic in interpreting his songs, his appearance is distinguished, he com ports himself with a manly iltnpllolty that is admirable and well deiervei the gratitude of those audiences too often offended by the namby-pamby gyra tions of some stilted manikin of tenor voice. Mag=:i, whose" success upon his first appearance here in "Gloconda" was ao pronounced, repeated his admirable work last night as the Count de Luna. Despite the long difficult role of the night previous his voice showed the same freshness and power. He very wisely refused the constant de mands for encores, however, and in many ways added materially to the reputation for high artistry which he established in his earlier work. Other singers in the cast were A. Giana as Inez, A. Nerl and A. Mori in the parts of Ruiz and Ferrando. The parts, though small, were given careful consideration, and Mori espe cially was given much credit for the rendition for his occasional musical ut terances. The individual and ensemble num beis were all delightfully sung, and orchestra and chorus acquitted them selves in the same satisfactory man ner which marked the opening bill. Lebegott directed last night. His penchant for climaxes in the instru ments occasionally caused the sinsers some embarrassment, hut generally the support was satisfactory. The bill for the matinee today is "La Gioconda," and tonight "Lucia" will be suns with Tamanti Zavaski as Lucia and Giovanni Nadal as Kdgardo. _» . » WOMEN'S GUILD GIVES CONCERT .
