6 'CABBAGE PATCH' REPEATS SUCCESS Comedy Founded on Alice Hegan Rice's Stories Pleases : Majestic Audience VOCAL AEROPLANING A HIT Mile. Camille Ober Wins Applause at Orpheum for Her High Notes "Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch," with Blanche Chapman in the role j created by Madge Carr Cook, openedla week's engagement at the Majestic theater last evening. A fair-sized au dience attended the performance and expressed its appreciation both or the play and the acting. "Mrs. Wiggs" is too well known to Los Angeles theatergoers to require analysis. This is the play's third visit, but familiarity with its homely phil osophy and its quaint, if sometimes overdrawn, character types is far from breeding contempt. The comedy is founded on Alice Hegan Bices stories, the stage version having been prepared by Ann.; Crawford Flexner, who has succeeded remarkably well In trans planting her cabbages into dramatic toll. The honors of last night's presenta tion were shared by Blanche Chapman as the philosophical and competent Mrs. Wiggs and Minnie Milne as the dolorous and Incompetent Mis' Hazy. May MacManus makes a picturesque and sympathetic figure of Lovey Mary and the supporting cast generally is effective, the children being all that real children should be. "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" remains at the Majestic through the week, with matinees tomorrow and , Saturday. * * • Camille Obcr, a Frenchwoman of en ticing personality and with a voice re markable for its range If not for its sweetness, contributed a repertoire of songs to the Orphcum program yester day afternoon truly as wonderful for the taste displayed in their selection as for the manner of their delivery. They were first a French chanson, then a Tyrolean fantasia, the Cavallerla Inter mezzo, and an American sentimental ditty called "Carrie." which the singer gave us as it was written and then an octave higher. Mile. Ober, it is an nounced, now holds the altitude record for vocal aeroplaning. She sings ono note higher than "Lark Ellen," and ■he takes her high notes without seem ing effort. What la more, her low notes are almost as low as her cor sage. It is evident that the singer lacks training, but she makes a hit notwithstanding. Felice Morris and her company pre sent an amusing playlet entitled "A Call for Help," in which Miss Morris proves herself a. comedienne of ability in the role of an eccentric novelist with an unfortunate love affair, who seeks a situation as a cook in order to gain literary material and who arrives on the job in a taxi. Of course the love tangle is straightened out and all ends happily. George Saybolt and Edward Cohen, who constitute the "company," arc quite equal to the demands made upon them. The three "White Kuhns"—no rela tion to Sambo Johnsing or to the Wall Ruined on North Spring St. Old and Feeble Merchant Cries to the Public for Help Greatest Battle for Business Ever Known After trying to raise money to pay his bills, the oldest Merchant on 142-144-146-148 N.

The Imperial Russian dancers, three in number, give a graceful exhibition of ballet dancing which, however, is not remarkable for its novelty. The holdovers include the "Old Sol dier Fiddlers." "The White Slaver," enacted by McKee Rankin, Lionel Bar rymoro and Doris Rankin; Frank Mor rell, Hark-lace comedian, and the Gus (inlaw trio, a novelty wire act. Two films of motion pictures complete the bill. • • • The Baader-LaVelle troupe, comedy cyclists, pleased a large audience at Pantages last night. Both the men and the women are clever and the stunts they perform are new. "A Bit of Au tomobillng" will certainly prove a strong drawing card. Vie Finn and Bert Ford introduce a lot of new steps into their eccentric dances. Their agility is noteworthy, ami the attitudes they assume comical in the extreme. The Hamilton brothers are knockabout comedians. As light ning painters of artistic canvases their Impressionistic work is not at all bad. Guido Glaldlnl, the silver-throated whistler, warbles and chirps enough to make a canary bird Jealous. Catchy | little ditties, old songs remodeled and pieces that sound suspiciously like grand opera seem easy to this master of the art of whistling. Frederick, Blgelow has an offering that will provide amusement and en tertainment for the most sophisticated theatergoer in his troupe of six merry youngsters, whose singing and dancing, Interspersed with frolics and take-offs on the school teacher, produce a lot of laughs. Hamilton brothers, comedy acrobats; Romanelll, a novelty violin ist, and new photo plays complete the program. . . . Blanche Walsh will be seen here soon in "The Other Woman," a new drama by Frederic Arnold Kummer. Past successes have brought Miss Walsh much fame in the dramatic world, and the production of "The Other Wo man" will accordingly be awaited with interest. Miss Walsh comes to the Mason next week. a . . . Lewis S. Stone and the members of the Belasco company opened last night in William Gillette's famous detective play, "Sherlock Holmes." Holmes is a part that Mr. Stone has always wanted to play, but one which has been denied him heretofore. The production last night was the first on the Belasco stage.. It will be reviewed tomorrow. ... Sullivan & Consldlne opened their new bill of eight acts at the Los An geles theater yesterday. The bill pre sents the names of such well known vaudeville performers as Harry Van Fossen, the minstrel man; T. Nelson Downs, famous for his manipulation of coins, and Campbell and Yates, appear ing in Edmund Day's sketch "Two Hundred Miles from Broadway." Be sides these acts there are five others. A review will be printed tomorrow. « • • The theme of "A Matinee' Idol," the latest success of De Wo'f Hopper, in which he will be seen at the Majestic next week, is more than 250 years old. It was evolved as long ago as 1651 by Mollere, the greatest French playwright of his day. Yet last season in New- York city, where- "A Matinee Idol" ran for more than four months at the Lyric and Daly's theaters, it proved more, potent in its appeal to the In terest and risibilities of the present day audiences than most of the comedies of modern times. No doubt this was owing in a large measure to the fact that Messrs. Armand and Barnard re juvenated the original, though these I playwrights generously lay the credit for the success of "A Matinee Idol" at the feet of De Wolf Hopper and Miss Louise Dresser. The divorce satire, "An American Widow," will be given at the Burbank only this week, and will be followed by the novel drama of interplanetary ad venture, "A Massage from Mars," a seasonable offering for the pre-hollday time, with its propaganda of unselfish ness. • # • • "The Evening S-T-A-R Spelled Back wards" is the way the Charles Alphln Amusement company is billing the ve hicle of fun and music which the clever Olympic players are using this week, and the billing isn't so far out of the way after all. For not only the title but everything In the play Is topsy turvy from start to finish, and the threadbare plot at the beginning of the show later develops into a near dramatic labyrinth. It's all about a Hebrew astronomer, who.has a vision of a falling evening star, and so firmly does this Idea become fixed in his sub jective mind that he takes a Teuton traveler for a native of that decadent planet. Jules Mendel has tho role of the Herman with the mistaken identity, and handles it well. Monte Carter, who plays the astronomer, runs Men del a close second, while Dave Morris and Walter Spencer figure prominently in the cast. An unusually large num ber of musical specialties have been in jected Into this travesty, in which Mar garet Favar and Dorothy Raymond are especially worthy of mention, as well as Spencer. Miss Favar's dainty danc ing is a hit. B • • • A Hebrew who would pass himself off as a Parisian and the troubles he meets with in his attempts to master French furnish the basis of the fun in "Cohen, the Frenchman," the offering of the week at the Princess. There are lots of laughs, lots of songs and lots of pretty costumes In this breezy burlesque. Al Franks takes the title role, and he extracts lots of comedy from it. Others prominent in the cast are Robert Ryles, Rose Mendel, Frank le Preston, Bonnie Browning and Jack Howard. Frnnkle Preston sings "Open Your Eyes" in a most fetching manner, while "Chinatown Rag," by Bonnie Browning and chorus Is one of the big hits of the show. "Come Down Nellie to the Old Red Barn" serves to show 1 ft Rose Mendel to advantage as a singing comedienne.

'■!___ Music Kmilio de Gogorza will sing in re cital in Simpson auditorium tonight, appearing in a program of Italian, French, English and Spanish songs.

The Miramba band is a novelty or ganization and continues to delight the frequenters of this popular cafe. The "music by these players is different from anything , heard on these pro grams and always excites Interest. Sharp and Turek, blackface come dians, gave an excellent presentation of negro songs. The Cosmopolitan trio entered on the third week here and have grown to be favorites. Their operatic selec tions are well rendered, the voices Wending well together. The baritone solo, the prologue from "Pagliacci. received great applause, as did also the trio selection, "La Spanola. The Kammermeyer orchestra gave an ex cellent program of new numbers.

The budget provides but $12,000 for this building, but Councilman F. J. Whiffon, chairman of the building com mittee, has saved much more than the difference in the repairs to the heating systems of Eastside and Central police stations, and will ask that the extra $5652 be taken from the appropriation made for the heating repairs. MONTH SHOWS DECREASE IN WHITE PLAGUE VICTIMS Deaths from tuberculosis show a great falling off for November as com pared with the same month last year. According to the statistics compiled by Henry Slef. mortuary clerk of the health department, fifty-five persons succumbed to tuberculosis last month as against sixty-nine during the same month last year. » Most of the deaths that occurred were those of persons who had lived In Los Angeles but a short time. But six of the fifty-five persons had lived In Los Angeles' ten years and only three were natives. ARRESTED S. P. C. A. MEMBER WOULD WITHDRAW CITY AID M. A.

In boxei 10c and 2Sc MYERS SAYS CITY MAY LOSE $8000 Auditor Cites Figures to Prove Ample Fund for Steady Work on Aqueduct In Support of his statement that there is sufficient money on hand to keep a full head of steam on the aque duct construction until it Is known if the bond buying syndicate will exer cise its option on the aqueduct bonds. City Auditor Myers \ yesterday sent four tables of figures to Mayor Alex ander. .'■*■* In one of these tables the auditor shows that the lost proposition of the syndicate would result in a loss to the city of $8000 that it will receive under the terms of the preesnt con tract If the syndicate exercises its option. In his statement to the mayor the auditor presents four different bond propositions. In the first he shows how the work of building the aqueduct can be prose cuted during 1911 without using any of the sinking fund. The second In creases the monthly construction by use of the sinking fund. The third shows that the recently rejected pro posal of the syndicate, while appar ently offering more money, would ac tually not give as much as by the .use of the sinking fund. The last Is the plan suggested by the "mayor, which at a loss of from $17,700 to $22,780 in premiums, would allow work to pro ceed at a rapid rate without the use of the sinking fund. The auditor finds that there is $1,010,000 in the aqueduct fund in cash on hand or in sight. If the syndicate elects to exercise its option the city will receive $4,896,000 from that source in 1911. Of this amount $850,000 must be returned to the sinking fund, which, with the amount on hand now, will leave a balance of $5,056,000. With $1,258,000 deducted for siphons there will be $3,798,000 available for con struction work. On a thirteen-months basis this would permit an expendi ture of $293,154 a month. It has been reported that the siphons can be built for $750,000, and If this figure is cor rect the result will permit an expen diture of $311,385 a month. By using the sinking fund with the figures for his first proposition Mr. Myers finds that the aqueduct can spend $435,500 a month on a thirteen months basis. In his third proposition Mr. Myers shows what might have happened if the syndicate's last offer had been ac cepted. In the fourth proposition, which was conceived by the mayor, the figures show: Advance at once from end of contract, $1,020,000 for construction work and $1,258,000 as needed for siphons, which " with the money on hand and the amount to be received from the syndicate will give a total of $7,334,000. With the siphon money de ducted it allows of an expenditure of $467,364 a month. With the use of the sinking funds it would permit of a monthly expense of $609,000. This would give a total of $100,000 a month over any other proposition submitted. _______% ■ PROBE LAND OWNERSHIP United States land office officials be gan here yesterday a hearing to decide the ownership of certain land near El Centro, ln Imperial county, claimed on the grounds of possession and reclama tion by Daisey G.
