Woman's parliament and tho women
of the Socialist party were prominent
yesterday in organizing- a society

The meeting was called by some of
the prominent women of the city and
was well attended. There were many

nefarious trade spoke concerning its
dangers, its widespread organization
and the schemes by which its work is

from Madam Caroline Severance was
read, in which she expressed herself
as strongly in favor of such a move

Prior to the work of actual organisa
tion several speakers were given the
privilege of the floor for a few mo
ments. Dr. Wiley Phillips told of the
result of some of his personal Investi
gations Into this matter, and said that
while he had never seen the actual
transaction, had never seen money ex
changed, he" was definitely certain that
the white slave traffic did exist in Los
Angeles. He said that as long, how
ever, as men of Influence and wealth
owned the property which was used for
Infamous purposes, It was almost im
possible to bring about the prosecutions
which ought to be made. "Conscience
must be aroused until officers are will
ing or are forced to enforce these
laws."
Mrs. Clara Shortridge Foltz said she
believed in finding the villain in the
plot, and that men had become most
adroit In the art of hunting these male
factors down. "They can now hunt
and hunt for the longest time and never
find the criminal," she said amid great
applause. ..

which the traffic is pursued was ex

MRS. FISKE IS BRILLIANT
IN ROLE OF BECKY SHARP
Actress and Company Delight Au
dience in Comedy of Three
Generations Ago
SHIRLEY OLYMPIUS
Once in a very long while It Is pos
slblo to say that a real dramatic treat
has been enjoyed. Such a statement
may be made after having witnessed
one of Mrß. Flake's performances, no
matter what the bill. It is doubly
true that Mrs. Flske afforded a treat
such as has been mentioned by pre
senting "Becky Sharp" at the Mason
opera house last night. A capacity
house greeted the star and evidently
enjoyed to the fullest her character
ization of the sharp-tongued, witty
Becky.
"Becky Sharp" is a dramatization of
a portion of Thackeray's "Vanity
Fair." The main Incidents of Becky's
career from nothingness into social
eminence and back to poverty were
beaten into a most delightful comedy
by Langdon Mitchell. The period of
the play is 1815 to 1830, which affords
ample opportunity for quaint, pictur
esque and even gorgeous costuming
and beautiful stage settings. The per
sons in the play remind one of living
daguerreotypes and take one back
along the road to yesterday to the
homes and conditions of our great
gtandparents.
From the first moment Becky steps
onto the stage it Is evident she is
"playing a part" because she desires
to reach a social, albeit a meaningless
goal. Her tongue is like a rapier. Her
wit hurts like the sting of a bee. She
resorts to trickery and deceit In every
thing which, among other thingß,
brings about her marriage to Rawdon
Crawley. When Becky Sharp becomes
a Crawley she begins her social climb.
When besieged by creditors after hav
ing reached her social goal, Becky
makes one false step. Then she comes
to realize how little there is in being
the queen of society. She pays her
price just as every other woman who
is consumed with worthless ambition
must pay. Her soliloquy of life is the
acme of pessimistic philosophy.
"Becky Sharp" is a most delightful
comedy because it gives Mrs. Fiske
every opportunity to display her won
derful talent, which is equal alike to
comedy and pathos. Her gradation
from gay to grave and back again are
shaded with exquisite art.
Tho star lias surrounded herself with
capable players, each of whom acquits
himself or herself in a manner fitting
to association with a great actress.
Florine Arnold does clever character
work in the role of Miss Crawley, the
spinster aunt of Rawdon Crawley and
benefactress of Becky Sharp. Hol
brook Blinn's Marquis of Steyne is a
wonderfully natural work of art. He
makes one feel the putridity of the
nobleman's nature without in any
manner, except possibly in makeup,
showing it in the least, by voice or
action. Though tho part is not a large
one in the matter of lines it is the
most important role in the piece next
to Becky Sharp. And Mr. Blinn makes
one realize the bigness of tho role
every minute. Henry Stephenson por
trayed Rawdon Crawley, who married
Becky Sharp and went down to ruin
with her, In the proper key. Harold
Russell as a fat boau, Robert V. Fer
guson as Sir Pitt Crawley, Wilfred
Buckland as Pitt Crawley, Edward
Mackay as George Dobbin and Frank
McCormack as Major Loder were es
pecially clever in their respective roles.
Others in the cast were eminently sat
isfactory.

It's a close race between "Self-De
fense" and "A Hunter's Game" for the
headline honors of the newcomers at
the Orpheum this week. The latter
act has a shade the better of the race
and wins first place by a nose because
of intrinsic merit. And by such a
statement no reflection is cast on the
former act.
"A Hunter's Game" is chock full of
cleverness, not the least of which is
displayed by a beautiful setter whose
leap at the finale of the act makes the
"curtain tag," if such a term may be
used, an absolute innovation. Frank
Stafford's imitations of birds, trains
and animals of all sorts, while not new,
is artistic and clever enough to merit
every bit of the generous applause
given. Marie Stone has a small part to
play as the summer girl. Although the
act is last on the program it should
not be missed. At yesterday after
noon's performance the act was inter
fered with to some extent by numerous
persons anxious to get out.
"Self-Defense" gives Edward Abeles
large opportunity for pantomimic act
ing. The manner in which he explains
the revolting triple murder, acting
every scene with gestures and motions,
is far more eloquent than words could
describe. Because the act departs from
the beaten paths of vaudeville offerings
it is worthy of high praise.
Harry Fiddler and Byron Shelton,
dark skinned comedians, present an
artistic musical and comedy act some
what out of the ordinary. The manner
in which tho comedians "get it over" is
refined and pleases immensely.
La Toy brothers, comedy acrobats, do
nothing sensational. Lily Lena sings
some new songs which are not winners,
and her old favorite "Swing Me Just a
Little Bit Higher" in a pleasing man
ner. Jameß Cullen, with a slightly al
tered singing act; Mabel Bardine and
company, presenting "Suey San;" an
exhibition of the Curtisa aeroplane and
new motion pictures complete the bill.
David Kessler and his company of
Yiddish players arrived in Los Angeles
last evening and will be seen at the
Auditorium tonight and tomorrow
evening, presenting: two of the favorite
Yiddish dramas. The original Thalia
Theater company of New York will be
seen with Mr. Kessler.
A distinct aroma of the padded mitts
and the squared circle is filling- "Hooray
for Jeffries," Producer Arbuckle'B
latest and best made-to-order playlet,
which is holding: the boards at the
Princess this week. The musical num
bers of the playlet are another feature
which makes it most enjoyable. A
grand finale of a military march, fea
-1 turing the chorus In stunning costumes,
while Ben Sellar sings "True Blue,"
is worth seeing, while Minta Durfee's
offering, "Funny Face," is well ren
dered. Sellar also gets away In a comic
manner with a humorous specialty, "If
Women Were No More," while Haze
Baldwin, with a chorus of Irish Pad
dies, figures in "Patrick J. O'Hare."
Bessie Hill also contributes to the
program with a pleasing solo.

outbursts each one was most en
thusiastic regarding the artist's voice.
Miss Morena is only 20 years old, and
a great future is predicted for her.
Another member of the cast who won
signal honors on the bill was Frank
Lambert, who has sung at the inn
for the last four weeks. Mr. Lambert
improves with his audiences. His re
ception Sunday was unusual. His
voice has improved since two weeks
ago, and his selection of songs seemed
to please.
The guests present received all hold
overs with applause. The Lancaster
Ladles' orchestra supplied choice in
strumental music.
Three capacity audiences greeted the
first appearance of the European
novelty "The Balloon Girl" at the Los
Angeles theater yesterday. She is the
headline act of the new Sullivan &
Oonsidine program. Beside this avia
tor Is Matt Keefe, the well known
yodeler, assisted by Joseph Bruno;
Wilton Brothers, Fields & Coco, Smith
& Arado, Corcoran & Dixon and new
motion pictures. The bill will be
thoroughly reviewed in tomorrow's is-
sue.
The new Empire theater on East
Third street, between Main and Los
Angeles streets, which has endeavored
to give its patrons vaudeville, straight
and musical comedy for several
months, has again changed hands, the
lessee this time being James T. Kelly,
a well known manager, comedian and
producer, who has been identified with
the theatrical game in the east and on
the coast for many years. Mr. Kelly
will open the house next Monday mat
inee, July 4, with the Tivoli comedy
company.
The opening bill will be "The Little
Widow," a musical comedy in which
Mr. Kelly has appeared successfully
elsewhere. Tho policy under which
Mr. Kelly will run the house calls for
only one performance a night, with
three matinees weekly—Thursday, Sat
urday and Sunday, except holidays,
when a special matinee will be given.
The principals include James Kelly,
Fred Lancaster, a baritone and a clev
er actor; Miss Eloise Mortimer, a
prima donna, and Miss Lillian Massey,
a character woman. A large chorus
has been selected with a view of mak
ing it the biggest beauty singing and
dancing chorus in the city and will be
a feature. Mr. Kelly promises many
royalty productions for the near future.
Among the many novel features to
be introduced at the opening of the
house will be women ushers and a
complete orchestra. New scenery is
being built and the lobby will present
a most inviting appearance. It is to
be redecorated, the color scheme being
white and gold. A row of electric lights
from the theater to the large electric
sign on the corner of Third and Main
streets will be another down-to-the
minute idea of Mr. Kelly's.
On the opening matinee the returns
of the Jeffries-Johnson battle will be
read from the Stage, each round being
given as it is received at the telegraph
office.
Paul Armstrong and Rex Beach's
big 1 laughing hit, 'Going Some," start
ed on its second and last week at the
Belasco theater last night with every
evidence of popularity. An audience
that filled the theater laughed immod
erately over the ludicrous situations
of the play that depicts ranch life In
the west—a ranch existence that per
haps knows no actuality, but is ample
in the matter of producing an Inordin
ate amount of fun. "Going Some" is
one of the unquestioned comedy suc
cesses of the current season and as,
played by Lewis S. Stone and hi.« as
sociates of the Beiafco organization it
is easily one of the brightest theatriml
entertainments of the. entire year.
"The Wolf," a play of the Hudson bay
country, written by Kugcne Walter,
author of "Paid in Full," will occupy
the attention of Mr, Stone and the
others of the Belasco company next
week, commencing with a special
Fourth of July matinee.
The funeral of Hamilton Hill, the
well known English baritone, who died
suddenly in Pasadena Sunday morn
ing, will be held in Pasndemi at 10
o'clock this morning. Mr. Hill VU
booked to appear at the Los Angeles
theater In two weeks, but while play
ing his engagement at the National
theater in San Francisco was taken
ill.
Rehearsals were begun on the Grand
stage this morning for "The Counter
feiters," Charles P. Rlcs'l thriller,
which will be the third offering oC
the Glrton company at the Grand op
era house. This piece is a real melo
drama, containing the much liked den
scenes, trap doors, detectives, crooks
and, most of all. plenty of thrilling
situations.

WOMAN'S LETTERS READ TO
PROVE CASE OF DEFENSE
Many letters written to Joseph J.
Fleming by Agnes Zimmerman were
offered yesterday in his defense against
a mistreatment charge made by the
woman. To combat the effect of the
letters, which tend to exonerate the de
fendant from the very offense charged,
the prosecuting witness asserts that
they were written at the request of
Fleming and for the express purpose of
shielding him. She declares they are
false. The jury probably will have to
determine their truth or falsity. The
trial is before Judge Willis.
