'THE EASIEST WAY' IS TRUTHFUL BUT UNLOVELY Laughter to Be Found in 'The Lottery Man-Good Bill at Orpheum SHIRLEY OLYMPIUS What strikes one as the biggest and strongest olement of "The Easiest Way," presented for the first time at the Mason opera houso laat night, Is that tt Is absolutely true to life—shock ingly truo. But truth Isn't always beau tiful. In fact, very many times It Is either positively ugly or horrible Sometimes It Is showy without being elegant. "The Easiest Way" Is a mix ture of the three unpleasant qualities, yet It Is true. Next to the absolute truthfulness of tho play, the reckless abandon shown by Laura Murdock when she finally succumbs to her own weakness and doslro for an easy life, Is the next big element and the ono which makes the lasting 1 impression. This comes In the final scene of the final act. Because of the scene one has a bad taste In one's mouth when ho leaves the theater. Personally I would rather that the cur tain had dropped when John Madison banged tho door behind him and Laura poured out her soul ache In a despair ing wail. I think I would have a higher opfnon of the play and of Laura Mur dock. As it Is, I am Inclined to be lievo that she was too weak ever to have succeeded In her fight for mor ality and happiness even had she mar ried John Madison. Laura Murdock was and always would be a failure be cause she loved herself more than she could love the right. "The Easiest Way" does not uplift the morals of'any community, nor does It improve the Intellect. If Eugene Walter conceived the drama as a preachment, I bellevo he has failed in his object. He has painted a wonder fully reaJistlc and wonderfully faith ful portrait of a certain phase of life (In New York, and possibly elsewhere), but ho has not given any hint of a remedy. Mr. Walter has dared to put real life Into his various scenes. The descrip tion of Laura Murdoch's life given in the first act is the description of an actress who occupies a prominent posi tion on the stage today. And again, Mr. "Walter has described his own life as a reporter on the Denver Republi can in speaking of the occupation ol John Madison, reporter. Briefly told, tho story of "The Easiest Way" is the story of an actress who breaks away from a man who has sup plied her every want, because she Joves a poor but worthy man. She struggles against poverty, and when she Is about to lose her fight, goes back to the old life. Her sweetheart, out in tho west, knows nothing of the change. He makes a winning fight, gains a fortune from the gold fields of Nevada, and goes to New York to glaim her as his bride. At last he comes into possession of tho full facts. Where before he was willing to for give and forget, he now is unwilling to either forgive or forget, and all be cause she ha 3 lied to him. Ho casts her off. just as does her former pro vider. In despair she decides on sui cide, but being a weakling, cannot bring herself to It. Then she goes out "to make a hit," catch another man and live In the easiest way. There's no doubt about it that Laura Murdock la tho victim of circum stances to a large extent. But had she the moral stamina and the cour age to fight just another day she might have gained the great prize of happiness with honor Instead of un hnpplness with dishonor One sympa thizes with Laura Murdock at first. Then one pttles her. But one always onds by condemning her. There's something subtly attractive nbout the manner in which Frances Starr portrays Laura Murdock. Her personality and her genius combine to lift tho chnracter from sordidness. There's simplicity and sincerity in her every intonation and action, but there's no excuse for Laura anywhere. Miss Starr's portrayal Is one of art and shows Inherent merit brought to fullest realization by the Belasco touch. Next to Miss Starr—or rather along side of her portrayal—comes that of Joseph Kilgour, who, as Wilard Brock ton, the luxury provider, gives a clean cut Interpretation and one which will he long remembered. In the nice little things as well as the great big ele ments which go to make up an artistic portrayal, Mr. Kilgour Is not lacking the least bit. Ho knows the type of man ho is por traying ana he makes his audience realize It all the time. John P. Brawn as Jim Weston, an actor of the old school, Is delightful. Violet Rand as Annie, a negro maid of all work and later lady's maid, makes her role shine like a gem. Louise Randolph gains sympathy, commendation and condemnation as Elfle St. Clair, a for mer chorus girl who has become In oculated with the easiest life and makes no bones about It. Edward 11. Robins aa John Madison gives a rather untrue portrait of the role when that portrait is viewed from certain angles. In the Initial scene be tween Madison and Brockton Mr. Robins is exceptionally artistic, and he is finished in his acting in tho final scene with Laura., but there seems to be something lacking from the picture. Possibly Mr. Robins does not "look the part." A word about the scenery. In the opening act the view of Pike's peak, especially when the sun is seen set ting, is wonderfully true and beau tiful. Details of Laura Murdock's el egant apartments in the New York hotel are worked out to the very limit. That is tho Bolasco way and shows the Belasco touch, which means -well directed genius and art In all things. • • • Three capacity houses yesterday af ternoon and evening at the Princess saw the opening performances of "A Frizzed Frazzle," the latest musical concoction of Fred Ardath, the author actor-producer. The production is a mlxup from start to finish, and is not straightened out until the drop of the final curtain. A young scapegrace is the central figure. He is left some money by an aunt, but has to marry and become a father to receive it. He writes his uncle, also the executor, that both events have taken placo and re ceives somo of the money. Jjater the uncle comes to visit him and the young rascal has to supply a wife and baby. All his friends try to help him out and the result is that his home is flooded with wives and babies. This produces ludicrous complications too numerous, to mention, and everyone suspects everyone else of playing false. The uncle learns of the fake, but forgive! the young nephew and all ends well. Earl Hall played the part of the young nephew while Al Franks did the eccentric uncle with nicety. Anne Hen ry, the new prlma donna, made her debut as a character woman with great success. Bonnie Browning, the new soubrette, was warmly received and promises to become most popular with Princess patrons. Fred Ardath plays the part of an Irish butler. He gets more out of It than some actors would out of an army captain. Angle North hade a hit as "Tho Teasin Rag." : LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER, f.. 1010. 'LOTTERY MAN' SATIRES NEWSPAPER CONTESTS Crowd at Majestic Enjoys Hearty Laugh at an Amusing Farce It's all so frothy and Impossible that It's delightfully humorous. Is "The Lot tery Man." And that is just as it should be to make a farce successful. Sanity and possibilities are of the same dramatic family. Thought leads to heaviness and heaviness is.a synonym for dullness. Everybody will agree that a farce would not be a farce it there wero any dullness therein or caused thereby. The audience at the Majestic yesterday afternoon wan not surprised but was pleased fully by "The Lottery Man" and the situations into which he got himself by his desire to gain sudden riches. "The Lottery Man" is a satire of newspaper contests, and especially con tests of sensation mongers. News papers have given away nearly every thing fcem a darning needle and a per ambulator to an automobile and a house and lot. But It remained for Klda Johnson Young to discover the possibilities of a new kind of a news paper prize—a husband. Here's the Jack Wright, being in, rather tight financial straits, conceives the idea of making himself the prize of a news paper contest. Tickets to the contest cost a dollar. Tho money derived from the contest is to go to the man. When the contest closes one ticket Is drawn. The holder of the coupon for that ticket draws a husband, together with all the money. Such a scheme looks rather wild, but it has humorous pos sibilities. When Jack Wright thought of the scheme he was in trouble, but not In love, which caused him a great deal more trouble in tho end. His scheme worked like a charm—too well. In fact. Something like 300,000 tickets wero sold by the time the contest closed. That meant $300,000 lor the lucky girl. One of the conditions of the contest was that if the man refused to marry the girl all tho money went to her. Not thirty minutes after the contest was fully arranged for and started Jack Wright fell In love with an heir ess. He couldn't back out of the con test and he couldn't fall out of love. Time went on. Jf.e got more desperate ly in love. The contest closed with a riot and the winner proved to be a human caricature—an old maid with a face that would make any man refuse millions before he would marry her. Her face would cause her husband to have a continuous nightmare. Said Individual happened to be Lizzie Kob orts, companion to Mrs. Peyton, aunt of the orphan-heiress. All the blan dishments of Jack Wright could not persuade Lizzie to give up her pros pective husband, even though she was offered half of the $300,000. You see Jack wanted a bit of money so as to make Bailing with the heiress easy. At the very last moment, when all hope seemed lost. It was discovered Lizzie had stolen the lucky coupon from a servant in the Peyton home. A money settlement is made quickly, Jack gets his heiress and everything i» lovely. There's much to laugh at in "Tho Lottery Man," not the least of which i 3 Lizzie Roberts' face, figure, voice and antics. Vivian Ogden does the role full Justice. William Rosell plays the role of "The Lottery Man." He Is a handsomo, youthful, likable chap and makes a decidedly favorable impression all the time. His comedy efforts are so gen uinely boyish and natural and spring from a nature of apparently the cali ber of "The Lottery Man" that they ring true and show sincerity. Lucia Moore as Mrs. Wright is sweet and pleasing, and Saldie Harris as the heir ess, Helene Heyer, makes a most fa vorable Impression from first to last. Francis Gillen, May Donohue, Florence Robertson, Fred Calvin and George Roberts complete the ca.it. Miss Rob ertson as Mrs. Peyton, who was ever searching for beauty and the fountain of eternal youth, gave a picture of a tendency entirely too prevalent today. Miss Robertson did not overdo the role, but was artistic and satisfying. • • • Tho twelfth year of the Burbank's existence under tho Morosco manage ment Is begun this week with the sec ond week of "Salvation Nell." This is a singularly fitting anniversary pro duction, as It Is popular with the audi ences and with the box office. The theater has now been open for 572 consecutive weeks, or more than 5200 performances, but the statistics collector refuses to estimate how many acts and scenes this involves. The theater is now more successful than ever before, and a sign of its popularity i sthe fact that since the first of the year there have been only five plays which ran for leas than two weeks, and some have gone three weeks. • * « Wilton Lackaye, known as the most prolific of story tellers, comes to the Majestic theater next week in a new play entitded "The Battle," dealing with the problems of capital and labor. Lackaye Is personally one of the most popular actors in the country. • * * Three capacity audiences witnessed tho opening of tho now Sullivan & Con sidlne bill at the Los Angeles thoater yesterday. The new bill is headed by Tim McMahon's Ten Pullman Porter Maids, featuring Ned (Cork) Norton and his great song hit, "Bolievo Mo." A special matlnco performance of "Tho Burglar and the Lady" will bo given at the Grand opera house Fri day, Admission dsiy. This play, which served as a starring vehicle for James J. Corbott, has proved the best pro duction of the Glrton company's sea son, and Is nightly attracting large audiences. "Hades Up To Date" is the offering of Alphin & Fargo at the Olympic this week, and proved most enjoyable to the Labor day crowds which packed the South Main street home of burlesque yesterday. The Hades in question is not the one described by Dante during his travels in his Inferno, but refers to the plight of two travelers who find themselves clad only in bathing suits on the midway plaisanee of a state fair. The two unfortunates, whom Jules Mendel and Monte Carter por tray, have many Comical mixups and misfortunes in their endeavors to set hold of suitable garments, and their adventures with the midway freaks and fakers are many and ludicrous. Mendel's work this week is really bet ter than anything else ho hus previ ously attempted, while Carter's delin eation Is up to his usual high standard. Dave Morris scores decidedly in the part of an effeminate dude, and his song "That Chinatown Rag" is good for four encores. Numerous comic specialties enliven the. piece, While the ten singing and dancing numbers apt catchy. An Oriental number by Frun ces Preston is one of the big musical feature*. Tracy MeDermott, the new leading man, was cordially received by the au dience, and : the Transatlantic Four please with thulr tpeclaltlas. [ MONOLOGUE OF GERMAN SOLDIER WINS CROWD 'Police Inspector' Gives Orpheum Audience a Glimpse of the 'Third Degree' The Orpheum bill this week Is well above the average, with an interesting sketch, an excellent monologue, and two dancing acts which are beautifully costumed and well presented. Of tho entire program, however, Lou Angrr In his German Soldier mono logue won the applause of the house. Laughter waa never done while lie continued with the ripple of nonsense, and there was just enough satire In his talk to furnish the necessary spice to make the entire concoction thor oughly enjoyable. His act is never tiresome, the humor Is brlßht and with out one offensive word or suggestion, and he depends for success on what he says, well said, and finds it a win ning method. Problem plays, even in tabloid form, seem out of place In vaudeville, but for the studious listener "The Police Inspector" will probably furnish some Interesting ideas. The giving of "the third degree" has been exploited before on the stage, and while the picture pre sented by Scott Sigglns as the inspec tor and John Doyle as the victim is not entirely revolting, it is not a pleasant sight, nor is the inspectors cry of triumph over the downfall of the reformers a pleasant motive with which to close the piece. The members of the cast are commensurate with their responsibilities, J. J. Williams as the scrubwoman doing an effective bit '"Toy Shop Pastime," with Jimmy Lucas and his dancing girls, is bright, atd new as to costumes, radiantly pink and white as to complexions, and shows a complete and fashionable coiffure for every girl. The particular bright spot in the act is Josephine Fields, who is so pretty of face, so comely of form and so graceful of'mo tion that she is a constant delight to the eye and proves the possessor of a light pleasant voice in her songs.. The dancing girls appear in Chanti cleer dances, as soldier dolls and clown dolls, and finally as comet girls. Stepp, Mehlingor and King, present ing an original idea in music, utilize the banjo and piano to emphasze the funnylsms of tho character artist, and close the bill with comedy and song. The Four Fords, although holdovers, Introduce a novel act In the Greek classical dance typifying the tale of Nausica With charming postures, graceful presentations are offered of the games and amusements of the maidens In those Homeric days. The two sisters, with fillet-bound hair and soft draperies, presented the act with much charm. Other holdovers on the bill are Gran vllle and Rogers, the Ryan Richfield company, and Clifford and Burke, who substitute for Josle Heather, the Eng lish singing comedienne, who was In jured by an automobile yesterday and was unable to appear. • • • The first dress and scenic rehearsals for "Tracked by Wireless" Will be begun on the stage of the Grand opera house this morning. The piece will re ceive its first .presentation next Sun day afternoon. Unusual interest is being shown in the production, and there is already a large advance sale. • • • The opening of the fall entertainment season at Bristol Pier cafe Sunday was marked by the calendar only. As dur ing the height of the summer season, society was out fn force while the general pleasuro-loving public aided n crowding the out-at-sea dlnmg hall. The program presented was equal to nny bill put on at that hostelry since it was opened. Carmen Phillips headed the program. Her voice charmed the audience. The artist has added character songs to her The guests demonstrated their ap preciation of Allen Wray, the "cathe dral" tenor. A distinct feature of the program was the first appearance of Glorietta, whose singing and dancing scored heavily. The Lancaster ladies' orchestra enlivened the bill with sev eral excellent selections and instru mental solos. The bill will run the entire week with Saturday and Sunday matinees. , , , The cast that will be seen In "Seven Days" when Wagenhals & Kemper present the comedy at the Mason opera house next Monday night is composed of players who have been at the Astor theater, New York, whoro the piece is in the second year of its run. A fea ture of this run is that it went through the summer, gaining the distinction of being the only comedy that ever re mained all summer in Now York. The cast will include Aubrey Beatty, Ned Ftnley, Ben "Wilson, Hugh Cameron, William Wadsworth, Jack Sheehan, Claire Weldon, Madeline Winthrop, Norma Mitchell and Florence Robin son. MEXICAN SAYS COMPANION SLASHED AND ROBBED HIM Angel Mantejo Badly Cut Up and Marked for Life With blood streaming from many knife wounds about the faco and chest, Angel Mantejo, a Mexican, foil ex hausted on North Avenue L'O, no;ir Dayton street, last night, and when taken to the receiving hospital in formed the officers that Marcello Na varro had robbed him of $168 after slashing him with a big knife. Mantejo and Navarro were fellow laborers and were walking toward the business dis trict when, according to Mantejo, Na varro suddenly attacked him. Mantejo was very weak from loss of blood when taken to the hospital, where Dr. Kidder had to tako many stitches to close up the wounds. The, man will be mbrked for life, for his assailant showed no mercy and cut his face in many places. Detectives are searching for Navarro. WILL WAIT RETURN OF OTIS TO SERVE WARRANT Warrants issued in San Francisco for the arrest of General Harrison Gray Otis and Harry Chandler of the Lob Angeles Times were received by Chief of Police Oalloway yesterday morning, but have not as yet been served. The chief received four war rants, two against each man, charging criminal libel. The warrants were turned over to Paul Flammer, captain of detectives. When asked why he had not served them, Captain Flammer said. "Well, thero is no reason to hurry this matter, for It only concerns a mis demeanor charge. "Otis is in Mexico and I understand Chandler is out of town, so probably no effort will be made to nerve the warrants until Otis gets back." METHODISTS PLAN FOR ANNUAL CONFERENCE Decide to Give Visiting Ministers and Laymen a Banquet During Meeting Methodist church. South, ministers of Los Angeles and vicinity held a special meeting yesterday in the Trinity Meth odist church, South, to plan for the annual conference to be held in that church, beginning October 27, to con tinue one week. The Rev. R. P. Howell, pastor of the church, who is also secretary of the conference, presided at the session yes terday. It was decided to hold a banquet for the visiting ministers and the laymen during the conference, and R. R. Raymond of Santa Ana won much applause by offering to furnish the chickens necessary for a "good chicken supper" for all attending the conference. Bishop Waterhouse of Emory, Va., who is the presiding bishop for the Pacific coast conferences for the cur rent year, will be the presiding officer. He will arrive in Los Angeles the first of October, and will remain two weeks to look the field over and- to become acquainted with local conditions. He will then go to a general meeting of the board of bishops in New Orleans, and will return to Los Angeles in time for the conference. The Rev. Mr. Howell is In charge, of arrangements for the conference, which will be the first of the district held in Los Angeles for many years. At the session yesterday morning a committee was appointed to work in conjunction with the City Woman's Board of Missions in endeavoring to secure a new building for the Homer Toberman Deaconess Home and Hos pital. If the present plans are carried out the building now used as the deaconess home and hospital will bo transformed into a home for girls who arrive in the city with no definite place to go.

FIVE NEGROES KILLED, IS REPORT IN GEORGIA ATHENS, Ga., Sept. s.—An uncon firmed rumor has reached here that five negroes were killed at Carlton, five miles east of here.
