BRADY DESERTS THEATER
TRUST FOR SHUBERTS
Playhouse Situation Throughout
Country Will Be Radically
Changed
BY BIIIRJ.KY OT^YMPIITfI
WILLIAM A. BRADY has Kono
over to tin- Shuborts, the ln
,. dependents o£ the theatrical
■world. Tho consideration Mr. Brady
recolvcd for deserting tho Klaw & Er
lander eyndtcato is said to bo $100,000
cash and a theater In New York. A
brief telegram m n1 yesterday to BJ. B,
Doyle by Mr. Hrndy gave the outllno
of the deal which has t>eon pending for
several weeks.' Mr. Doyle is manuger
in-Hdvanco of the Grace George com
pany and Mr. Brady** personal repre
sentative in the west at tho presont
time. The Shuberta an.l Brady have
Incorporated Jointly a company with
18,000,000 capital stock with Mr. Brady
as president; Loe Sbubert, vice-presi
«lent nntl J. J. Shubort as secretury
treasurer.
Under Mr. Brady's direction there are
at present seventeen stars. Ho owns
close to llfty plays and is rnted one
of the most dominating producing mnn
«rits in the mlmlo world. His leaving
tho syndicate for tho independents is
■ telling blow and wyi alter the theat
rical situation all over the United
Btates. It may even bring about tho
nd of the despotic reign of tho syn
dicate which has dominated tho situa
tion., for years, and has controlled
nlne-tonths of the theaters In tha
United States, as well as a large ma
jority of the plays, players and play-
producers.
The Shuberts, who h.i.ve been fight
ing the theatrical trust for nevoral
years, are now placed In a position
where they will he ahle to keep all
the t.vaters they control open every
week In the year, whllo the syndicate
■will have to scramble for plays. Re
' cently the ghuberts gained control of
n chain of flrst-CIaSS theaters in the
Htm England states. Kvery day or
they are putttlng Klaw & Erlangor
to rout. '
Tim key to tho situation in not In
fie hands of Klaw & Krlangor or tho
fitiuberts, however, but Is held by John
„ 'Cort of Seattle, who controls theaters
jfrom Chicago to Seattle nnd from there
.to Los Angeles. If Mr. Corl goes over
. #to the Shuberts—and there Is great
probability of It—Klaw & Erlanger
f •win bo relegated to ■ second position.
If Cort nlllei himself with tlio Shu
f berts the Auditorium or the Majestic
' might be made the chief, theater for
Hhubert attractions. In «ny event,
there will be a marked change locally
before next fall. Wise ones aro saying
.. (>omebody Is going to get caught In a
r~" desperate gam# of "freexe-out."

Thos« who happened Into the I.oq
Angeles theater yesterday afternoon
were twica treated by a superlatively
good vaudeville bill from top to bottom,
and an extrn number, the singing net
of Frances White, a dainty little miss,
•who captivated everybody by her sweet,
girlish ehnrm nnd Dative Simplicity.
Miss ■White made as big a hit as Pel
ham, th(» hypnotist, and that's going
some, .Since she appeared at the Ix>s
Angele.s a few days ago she his
changed her act, until now it is worthy
of any vaudovllln audience In America.
When she walked out on the stage the.
audience rose to her, because she Is
different than any other singer who has
nver appeared In Los Angeles. Kncore«
lifter encore was her portion. The au
dlence nhowed plainly that more of
her brand of entertainment Is what
pleases the public.
Pelhani, tho hypnotist, is only one of
the good portions of tho bill. His ex
hibition would be uncanny If It wero
not so humorous at times. Ono looks
on in horrified amazement when Pel
ham makes the blood leave^hls sub
ject's hand. Great power has this hyp
■ notlst—almost too great.
\ I'ero and Wllson'a turn, a mixture of
I ■inglng nnd Juggling, opens the bill.
i It is a departure from tho usual and
V worthy of the unstinted applause given.
I Prances White followed Pero and Wil-
Fon. Bhe sang "By the Light of tho
Silvery Moon," "Toodles" and "Splash
Me," the last named In a dainty bath-
Ing costume, to the Immense satisfac
tion of everybody.
Pete Maker, monologist. yodler, sin
ger, dancer and general entertainer,
made an instant hit. He is one of the
old-timers, yet his material is new and
clever.
Dolph and Busjla T>vlno'« act Is an
other out-of-the-ordtnary bits of vau
deville. It opens llk«la sketch, with
Witty dialogue, then becomes a musical
turn, with Dolph Lovlno playing a
lmrp ami his wife singing a prety
southern ditty. As a finale Dolph
<iraws excellent crayon portraits whilo
Susie sings. , * ,■•-.
Abblft .Mitchell has a soprano voice
of quality. She sings with dramatic
Intensity and rare sweetness. Her
vocal range Is great and her tones true
and well placed.
The Balton troupe of women acrobats
have nothing; to be ashamed of. They
are worth seeing:, and are In many ro
kpacta far better than many men in
1 bimllnr lines of entertainment.
Taken by and large, the Los Ange
les bill is cmi! which should not be
missed. , ;

Eloquent Speaker Urges Great
Need of the Child for Its Mother
iiJjjjjL** JllJlliTrH^^d^S^^^i'i -— J IrnTL a
Katn Waller Barrett spoke before
the meeting of the Associated Charities
yesterday morning, taking for her gen
eral subject the preservation of the
family. The particular Idea current
throughout the address was that moth
ers and children should be kept to
gether, and that all plans should be
tried, all possible arrangements tested
before separating them. In unmarried
mothers, Mrs. Barrett thinks this sys
tem even more Important than in oth
er cases, for frequently the mother
love which comes when mother and
child aro kept together under peace
ful surroundings will awaken the de
termination to live with such straight
forward purposo that she will
strengthen not only her own charac
ter, but- will unconsciously form that
of her child ulong strong self-reliant
lines.
Mrs. Rarrett Is one of the most elo
quent of women speakers. Her sub
jects are near to her own heart, and
before she finishes an address her lis
teners, no matter how apathetic their
being "Why Smith Left Home," which
Is holding the hoards at the Belaaco
theater this week. To say the least,
Mr. Broadhurst deserved all he got as
:i result of writing "Why Smith Left
Homo" it is a laugh-producer good
for all times and all places. Every
character Is recognizable and every
situation is possible. Tha lines teem
with wit and humor, all of which
pleaaaa the risibilities of any audience.
There arc so many serious phases to
modem life that a Journey to tho Be
laaco would do most anybody good.
Ida Lewis, as "cook lady," has the
best opportunity of the women in the
capt. She makes the most of It and
contributes in no small measure to
tho laugh making. Helena Sullivan's
makeup is Irresistibly funny. Florence
Onkley as Mrs. John Smith has an un
satisfactory part. She fills the role In
an acceptable manner, although she
has portrayed other characters better
in the put. Her big opportunity will
come next week. Grace Gardner as
lira. BUtotdoux and Adelfl Furrlngton
are exceptionally clever and Betli Tay
lor Is charming in her ingenue wiry.
Of tho men, Rlhard Vivian as Sen
oral Billoidoux has the best role, al
though all the others am seen to ad
vantage. Mr. Vivian is a comedian
of no small ability and therefore
makes his characterization of the war
rior who fears nothing and nobody,
excepting his wife, screamingly funny.
Lewis S. Stone as John Sraith has a
1 more or less colorless role. Charles

attitude at the beginning of her re
niai-ks, tome to feel the same sense
of Interest and a lively responsibility
in the matter. She has been an awa
kening force In many of those things
which pertains to great nodal prob
lems. Heriremarks yesterday aroused
manifest interest among the hearers
and many of her observations elicited
warm applause.
In part she said: "The normal home
is the place for a child, and if he has
not one of his own he should be given
one. It Is not enough to Isolate a
chll'd from unfit parents. If parents
are poisonous to the minds and char
acters of their own children they will
also Injure other children. It is tha
parents who should bo isolated."
Speaking of the child of the unmar
ried mother Mrs. Barrett said:
"There Is no such thing as an ille
gitimate child. Every child comes Into
the world pure rfnd honest. Fathers
and mothers should bear the stigma
of illegitimacy, not the innocent
child."
Hugglns in a dual role, of Italian mu
sic master and Annapolis cadet, Frank
Camp as a German, Count yon Gug
genheim, and Charles Glblyn as Mnjor
Duncombe ore seen to advantage.
There's no explaining the "story" of
a farce comedy. It is a series of lu
dicrous pictures and Intricate situa
tions which must be seen to be under
stood. Therefore, go to the Belasco
theater this week.
If the arrival of Champion Jumps
Jeffries at Rowardennan was marked
by any such reception a» the Alphin
and Fargo players picture it at the
Olympic theater, Jeffries certainly had
an interesting and busy time of it.
However, the participants of the real
reception would hardly derive or afford
such merriment as those who assisted
in greeting the pseudo champion.
Jules Mendel as Jeffries is about the
funniest ever. Ha keeps Ills audience
in a continual state of laughter. BlOß
som Seeley in an extraordinary special
ty and Anna Golde, who singe sev
eral pretty hits, make big hits. Pete
G>raid is clever as a broken down
actor. Waiter Spencer, Laurel Atkins
Blair, Leonard Brisbane and Hazel
Baldwin each assist admirably in mak
ing "The Arrival of Jeffries" one of
tho best muslcril comedies the Olym
pic has presented in a long time.
Tho plot of the piece concerns the
events occurring after the champion
arrived at Santa Cruz. The situations
developing aa a result of the mistake
In identity are extremely funny.
With the heat show that has been
seen on the Princess boards for many
moons, the newly organized musical
comedy company opened In the "Isle
of Zaza" Monday. The piece is bright
anil snappy, full of vigor and vim,
while the comedy furnished by Roseoe
Arbucklo and Fred Ardath, in the
roles of two hungry escaped convicts,
Is very funny.
Mlnta Durfee. the new soubrette,
and Bon Sellar. the new leading man,
In a clever rendition of "By the Light
of the Silvery Moon," go big.
Vera Stanley sings "Cupid's Garden"
In a fetching manner, while the open
ing and closing choruses are clever
medleys of late popular songs.
The plot of the piece concerns two
escaped convicts who are shipwrecked
on a desert islo, and have many amus
ing experiences with tho people they
find there.

"Georgo Washington, Jr.," George M.
Cohan's successful national song show,
will open at the Grand opera house to
morrow night. This is the first time
that this famous Cohan musical play
Jias ever been given by a stock musical
organization at popular prices.
George Washington, Jr., will be
played by Walter De Leon, who, as aji
interpreter of Cohan comedy roles, is
without an equal on the coast. Ferris
Ilartman will be seen In the role of
Katon Ham, one of the best comedy
roles in the flay. Senator Hopkins and
Senator Belgrave, two of the particu
larly prominent and iautfh provoking
parts of the play, will allow Joseph
Fogarty and Thomas H. Persse better
opportunities than they have enjoyed
in many weeks, while the women mem
bers of the company have all been cast
to excellent advantage.
One of the particular features of the
Cohan musical plays are the sour hits
and fast and lively chorus numbers.
In "George. Washington, Jr." nre such
song successes us "You're a Grand Old
Flag," "If Washington Could Come to
Llfo Again," "You Can Have Your

TWO SUSPECTS HELD FOR
ROBBERY OF MAIL TRAIN
Hunt for Bandits Extends Over
Large Territory
SAN FHANCISCO, April 19.—The
hunt for the two bandits who held up
the China-Japan fast mall near Ben
tola last Saturday night shifted today
from the hills and canyons near Mar
tinez to San Francisco, then to Oak
land, and late tonight back to Pinole,
fifteen miles from Benida.
It developed this evening that Police
Captain Bock and Detective Richard
McSorley of the Oakland police ar
rested' two men in San Francisco early
today. They are now in the city prison
at Oakland.
John Lubbe, who owns the cabin
in which the robbers lived near Mar
tinez, and Harry Knight, who also had
seen them several times, went to the
Oakland jail. Neither of these iden
tified the two suspects as the sup
posed bandits, but they will be held
until the engineer and fireman of the
train are given an opportunity to see
theni.
Late tonight Sheriff Veale, his dep
uties and several detectives returned
to Pinole, where, It ll said, they have
two other suspects under surveillance.
