Music Levy's cafe chantant shows the best program given for weeks. The Cos mopolitan trio continues as headliner. A clever rendition of the trio from Carmi was a distinct hit last evening. Signor Porclnl, the baritone, sang the prologue from "Uagllaccl" and Mme. Ferrari gave as her offering tho Creole Love Song, the tenor number being an excellent rendition of "Pallide Mannua loe." Miss Dorrls Wilson, singing com medienne, comes from New York with new songs artistically dpne and new gowns, most satisfactorily worn. Her selections were "The Swallows," 'For All Eternity" and "Yesterday." Sharp and Turek, blackface comed ians, furnish the comedy element; Miss Sharp's selection with dance, "I've Got Your Number," is above tho usual vaudeville stunt. "Lasses Candy Chile" is a passable duet, and the dance eccentric proved a terpsichorean novelty. Ethel Leslie, the prlma donna so prano of the Levy aggregation, sang 1 "My Dreams' 1 and "The Carnival." The Shrine auditorium auto show has something worth while in the musical line. The Ohlmeyer Carnival bund has soloists, who would do credit to a symphony orchestra. Mme. Stan tonne and he* Venetian Ladies' or chestra adds tone to the general en semble. Clubs Christmas spirit was evidenced yes terday afternoon at Ebell club when Miss Mary Carter, recently from Lelps sic, sang the Christmas Song cycle by Peter Cornelius. Miss Carter's voice, which is sweet and well placed, de lighted her auditors who demanded en cores which she graciously granted, singing among other things Mrs. Beach's popular song "The Year's at the Spring." Mrs. Abble Norton Jami son was at the piano during this por tion of the program. Ernest E. Pither, baritone, concluded the program. This singer displayed vocal powers or great charm in the prologue from "Pagliacchi," "Mother Mine;" "If I Were Blind," Sutley; "Kathleen Mavoureen" and "Tipperary Town," the later an encore number. Mrs. Gertrude Ross accompanied these numbers, and the program was ehjoy able throughout. MILLION EASTERNERS VIEW EXHIBITS OF CALIFORNIA Charles L. Wilson, superintendent of exhibits for the Los Angeles chamber of commerce, returned yesterday after an extended trip throughout the east, and says that more than a million per sons visited the Los Angeles and San Diego exhibits in the groat agricultural expositions of the east in the summer and fall. "The exhibits at Chicago, Pittsburg, Cincinnati and Richmond, Ind., attract ed a great deal of attention," said Mr. Wilson yesterday. "More than half a million persons heard our lectures on Southern California and many of them expressed a desire to come to this part of the country. It was somewhat of a hardship for our Southern Californians to endure the cold of the east, but we believe that untold good has been ac complished and made up for the In convenience which we experienced." MEXICANS OBSERVE FEAST The feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patroness of Mexico, was celebrat ed with solemnity yesterday, carrying out all the old time customs at the Plaza church. At 9:30 o'clock a pro cession wrs formed in the parochial grounds whlc'a wended its way to the historic church building, where a solemn high mass was celebrated by Father Eugene.

"SIGN OF THE ROSE" A DELIGHTFUL SKETCH George Beban at the Orpheum Introduces Character New to the Stage In' "The Sign of the Rose," George Beban's one-act play, which he is presenting this week as the principal feature of the Orpheum bill, Mr. Beban has done for the Italian immigrant Just the service performed some* years ago by David Warfleld for the Jew. In "The Auctioneer," a piece writtten for Mr. Warfleld by Lee Arthur, whose home now Is In Los. Angeles, that actor shawed us the loyalty and lovable side of a character which before then had been utilized on the American stage only to be ridiculed. In "The Sign of the Hose" Mr. Beban redeems the "dr.go" from stage caricature. With a fidelity which can not attain Its full measure of appreciation here in Southern California, where tlie Italian laborer is little known, he realizes a national type familiar enough in New York and the east, but foreign to this locality, and which curiously has escaped heretofore stage exploitation. It Is announced that Edwin Milton Royle hns been commissioned to ex pand this miniature drama into a throe-act play and that Mr. Beban will star in it next se:i:;on. If this is done success should follow, for the story, even in its present tabloid form, Is of compelling humanity and abundant sympathy, and Mr. Beban's acting in itn central role is a triumph. The action of "The Sign of the Rose" occurs in one of Thorley's flower shops in Now York city. The child of a mil lionaire has been kidnnped, sup posedly by members of the "Black Hand," and letters have been received demanding a $10,000 ransom to be paid at Thorley's to an agent who will be identified by "the sign of the rose." Here, then, come the parents of the missing child and here is stationed a central office detective to arrest the blackmailer. On the preceding day the millionaire, recklessly driving his automobile, through the crowded streets, has struck and seriously injured a little girl. The child dies, though he does not know it. All this is explained tersely but completely, and it leads up to the entrance of Mr. Beban, whom the audience at once recognizes as the father of the dead child, knowing at the same time that he will be mis taken for the Black Hand emissary. Of course this is merely the A B C of good playwrighting, but it Is done so simply and so naturally that the skill of the author's technique all but es capes observation. The audience has been taken itno the playwright's con fidence while his characters are still groping blindly through a maze of misunderstanding. The Italian has come to the flower shop to buy a rose for the little pine casket of his dead baby. The confu sion of identities occurs. Ho is offered the $10,000, and, racially slow of wit, bewildered by his strange reception, declines the money and tells patheti cally and simply the story of his mis fortune. In the end the missing child Is recovered and the tangle of mis taken identity explained. In its relation this little story sounds bald enough, but as it Is presented by Mr. Beban and his company on the Orpheum stage It is a veritable gem, provided with an excellent setting, Its every facet exhibiting the polished acting of Its author-actor, who. out of a multiplicity of little human touches, has evolved a character new to the stage and one for which the stage should prove grateful. Elsewhere the current bill offers Mme. Jewell and her manikins in a marionette play entitled "Toyland Vaudeville;" Alf Grant and Ethel Hoag in a "chatter" act; the Asahi troupe of Japanese magicians and acrobats; the Imperial Russian dancers; Camille Ober, Felice Morris and her company In "A Call for Help," and the three White Kuhns. • • • "Old Heidelberg" was revived at the Bclasco last night, the performance makinsr the twenty-second week of the play at this theater, its presentation having extended over a period of sev eral years. Lewis S. Stone again de lighted a large audience with his im personation of Prince Karl Heinrich, Eleanor- Gordon was the Kathie and James K. Applebee the Doctor Juttner. Several of the roles were assumed by players who have been seen at the Belasco in the same parts in previous productions. A more extended review of the performance will appear in this column tomorrow. ■ ■ ■ Reviews of the new bills at the Los Angeles and Pantages vaudeville houses and of the current offerings at the Olympic and Princess theaters will be published tomorrow.

AUTO USED BY THIEVES IDENTIFIED BY OWNER The flve-paßsenger automobile found in an alley at the rear of 634 South Spring street, Saturday night, after burglars had attempted to use the ma chine to shield their work in attempt- Ing to rob the store of the Bailey- Schmitz Upholstering company, was identified yesterday as the property of George it. Wilton, living at 630 Shatto place. According to Wilton the auto was stolen from the curb on Los Angeles street last July.

LIQUOR DEALER MEETS SEVERE PUNISHMENT License of Conrad Winters Re voked for Permitting Mi nors in Saloon Severe punishment was Inflicted by the police commission last night on Conrad Winters, when his permit to conduct a saloon at Thirtieth street and Central avenue was revoked be cause four young men under 21 years were In his place- on two occasions for from throe to ten minutes at a time. An Incident of the case was that Judg-o I_>. K. Trask, a former member of the police commission, appeared M attorney for Winters, and one of the first things Judge Trask did was to make the star witness for the prosecu tion Exhibit A for the defense. This witness was Warren Sisson, who said he was only 18 years old, but Is six feet and, one Inch tall. Judge Trask asked the commission ers to look at the witness and see If they would not consider that*ho was more than 21 years old. Sisson and four other young men, all about 18 years old and all members of the Haven Methodist church, testified that they had obtained beer and whisky in Winters" saloon on two occasions. But Winters was not tried for selling liquor to minors, as there Is no city ordinance prohibiting such sale. The ordinance < makes it a misdemeanor to permit a ( minor to enter and remain in a saloon and this wßj the»charge against the saloon keeper. While the evidence was conclusive that the boys were in the place it \\iis the first time a case of the kind had been tried by the commission and it was expected that a suspension of license for 30 or 60 days would be the punishment. Commissioner Wellborn | would not vote for the revocation of i the license. Commissioner Davidson was not present. Winters has conducted his saloon at the tame location for twenty years and last night was the first time he had "been on the carpet." His was the last saloon outside the liquor zone and no permit over can be granted again for his place of business. MRS. SOWL SUES RAILWAY FOR CASA VERDUGO NAME Asking $10,000 damages and the ex clusive use of the words, "Casa V*f dugo," Mrs. Piedad Yorba Sowl yes terday filed in the superior court a suit against the Pacific Electric Rail way company. Mrs. Sowl and her husband, Charles Sowl, under the direction of the rail way, conducted the cafe known as ''Casa Verdugo" for five years. A dispute arose and the establishment was left to the railway, which had it leased. The Sowls sought a new place nearby for the opening of another establishment of a similar nature, and formed two companies, known as "Casa Verdugo" and "Casa Verdugo, Inc.," for which articles of incorpora tion were filed, the evident intention being to obtain the use of the familiar name of the cafe. For awhile, it is alleged, the rail way company resorted to every means to make the public believe that "Casa Verdugo" was closed for repairs, even using newspaper columns, it is averred, to give that Impression. Then, November 24, with J. R. Brabo, former ly of Santa Barbara, as manager, it reopened the old place under the name of "Casa Verdugo." Now Mrs. Sowl wants $10,000 as damages and an injunction Issued, pre venting the railway from using the name "Casa Verdugo" on any sign or in connection with a restaurant. It also is alleged that the railway is not authorized by its articles of incorpora tion to conduct a restaurant.
