The meeting was called by some of the prominent women of the city and was well attended. There were many speeches, and men and women who are familiar with the conditions of this nefarious trade spoke concerning its dangers, its widespread organization and the schemes by which its work is carrried out. to the small villages, attend church, Mrs. Martha G. Salyer. Mrs. H. de Lara was appointed secretary. A letter from Madam Caroline Severance was read, in which she expressed herself as strongly in favor of such a move ment, and hoped a strong and ener getic organization might -c effected. 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. .. EXTO,AINS CAPET SYSTEM Something of the working scheme 1 by which the traffic is pursued was ex plained by Mr. Williams. Great corps of "cadets" are employed by the head men In the association.

Warner took the floor for a moment, explaining that he would give a lecture on this subject next Friday evening, and that he wanted all the women there present to attend his lec ture and Criticise It if they thought it necessary. On motion of Mrs. K. S. Bryan a committee on organization was ap pointed, with Mrs. Agnes H. Downing as chairman. Working with Mrs. Downing In this committee will be Mrs. Bertha W.

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. •* - • Bristol m.i; C!AI'H Miss Grace Morena, the California cantatrlce, opened the new bill at Bristol Pier cafo Sunday, amid much enthusiasm. The volec of this young lyric soprano created a storm of ap plause after each verse. Whether she sang grand opera or ballads, the re sult was the same—the throng en cored vigorously.

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.
