\ The Shuberts have made known the
.list of offerings for the fall season at
the Amorican theater, which will be
inaugurated at the conclusion of the
s»tock season. Instead of opening -with
"The Witching Hour," as was an
nounced, "Going Some" will be the in
vading, number. Corinne in "Mile.
Mischief." "Girls," Charles Cherry in
"The Bachelor," George Fawcett'in
"The Great John Ganton," Eddie Foy
in a new musical comedy and Louise
Gunning in "Marcelle" complete the
list.
This bill of attractions will extend
over a period of 16 weeks, after which
the list of winter offerings will be an
nounced. "Havana," with James T. .
Powers. "The Midnight Sons" and sev
eral other notable attractions are
down on the winter list.
- "Going Some" is said. to be a highly'
amusing farce, built on the Willie Col
lier order, and its recent revival under
the Shubert management at the Be
lasco theater. New York, achieved a
substantial -hit. It Is said to be fun
nier than "The Blue Mouse," which is
"going some."
"The Witching Hour," in which John
Mason will appear immediately follow
ing "Going Some," is ,by Augustus
Thomas and has a record of 500 nights
at the Hackett theater,- New York, to
its credit. It will be produced at the
American with the original New York
company.
"Girls" and "The Bachelor" are by
Clyde Fitch, who is the richest of all
American playwrights.
Gibson Girls at Orpheum
It is only mild entertainment. that the
Orpheuni affords this week: not poor,
only. mild. Interest in the program
kept up yesterday afternoon through
curiosity to witness the "Electrified
Girl Review." That was the best pres
entation on the bill, and did not at all
deserve the curiosity which the title in
vited, nor the long cast of characters
printed at full length.
Charles Dana Gibson's "Electrified
Girl Review" was girlish in personnel,
but . scarcely worth -so pretentious a
name. There was nothing electric
about it. The amusement it supplied
was about as exciting as turning the
pages of a book of Gibson's pictures
while waiting in an anteroom for the
doctor to call you In. The girls posed
and sang, the Gibson man posed and
sang. then the girls came out
as sailor girls a \u25a0la Gibson and
bathing girls, also a la Gibson,
and the man sang a tedious song to i
a stalely Gibson background of man- !
j imate and inarticulate girls about the
j "Bell in the Lighthouse." which must
.have been a very deep toned b.ell in
deed, or rather in D. The most "ardent
! of Gibson's admirers must have yawned
: over the interminableness of it all and
; yearned for a galvanic battery to mi
i fuse some muscular reaction in the
j midst *o so deadly a calm. Surely, if
ever an act needed electricity, this
does. - ?.r..
: A single bit of animation at the close
! pointed the truth that the girls were
j human. With their heads * thrust
j through a canvas yacht which appeared
to be cutting through the water at
cup winning speed, they shouted and
• waved their hands and woke the audi
i ence up most gratefully.
Miss Lily Lena with a portfolio full
[of English songs sang well, graceful,
; insinuating and pretty. Her numbers
j were written exclusively for her, it is
\u25a0 said, and yet she could sing songs not
• written expressly for her throat and
i still make them her own. by reason
!of her gift of elocution and person-
J ality. Her offering was the brightest
| of 'the new numbers. She changes her
clothes between every song, and they
| the clothes — are all of them becoming,
j and, like her songs, made expressly for
| her. A recourse to the old trick of
picking out a suffering and bald male
patron from the audience for the par
ticular victim of a song does not add
materially to Miss Lena's reputation,
otherwise fully sustained, as a come
dienne.
The three Donals are athletic marvels
of strength. Their muscular develop

Julius Tannen, monologist, has an
impertinent manner and a breezy line
of chatter. He talks about himself
and the audience, and Is easy to listen
to. He has a happy way of flattering
people with, a quick imagination, be
cause he doesn't always finish his
stories, but leaves the tag to the mercy
of his audience. You either get it or
you don't. If you don't, he jollies you

contributing their share of Joy, the"
Chutes at the new FJllmore street lo

yesterday, the. first 'on the new site.
All day the vast amusement park was
filled with pleasure seekers. .
The number of children at the Chutes
was a revelation. They were on th^
railway, down the chutes, .-whirling in
the auto carrousel and seeing the
sights of the grounds from the backs
of ponies.
The outdoor program was thoroughly
enjoyed. The Royal Band Roma gave
two delightful concerts. Tho feats of
Desperado, who makes a perilous dive
from a high tower to the chutes: of
Florence Spray, the slim young woman
who dives 70 feet into shallow water,
and of Demon, who rides the chutes
enveloped in flames, stirred the throngs

SUCCESS REPEATED
BY INNES' BIG BAND
Sixty Instrumentalists' Begin
Four Weeks' Engagement
at Idora Park, Oakland
. Frederick Neil Innes and his band
were greeted by , great crowds when
they 'opened their summer concert sea-,
son at Idora ' park"; ' Oakland, yester
day. When Innes visited the coast be
the people about the bay. This band was
acknowledged to be one of the best ever
heard in the west. Consequently there
was not a little interest among local
music lovers as to whether the players
who accompanied him this time would
be up to the old standard.
The - new band is one ,of the best
trained and best balanced musical or
ganizations which has been heard in
this state. Despite the fact that there
are 60 Instruments, the bugbear of
most large bands— discord — has been so
far eliminated that It is not discernible
to the ordinary ear,, and the choruses
and ensemble effects are charmingly
smooth and harmonious.
The soloists. Virginia Listemann,
soprano; V. Pinto, barytone; F. Kuch
ynka. string bass; A; Jefferson" Smith,
cornet; Dr. H. J. Williams, harp, and
John Bambrldge, cornet, won warm rec

cores. Last evening's program was as

HEN BECOMES FOSTER
MOTHER TO RABBITS
Steals Litter of Eight From
Real Parent
' An old hen on the premises of Luke
Hebburn of Stoke road, Guildford, has
stolen from a. rabbit her litter of eight
young -ones,, and has taken upon: her
self, the duties of foster mother. So
jealous is she that at the approach of
a stranger she covers them with her
wings, and at, night she protects them
in the same : way.' A pretty little pic
ture was seen a, day- or two ago, one
of ; her charges 'nestling on her back
as natural as; a chick, while the others
were "under - cover.". The mother of
the rabbits moves about . in' the same
run, but treats/the matter with in
difference. — London Globe.

MANY MOTOR CARS
ARE REGISTERED
Report From Sacramento Shows
That Heavy Sales of Auto's
Still Continue
R. R. L'HOMMEDIEU
The record of the ..registration of
motor. vehicles at Sacramento for the
month of June, which has just been is
sued, shows that the heavy registration
started the first of the year continues.
The number of motor cars registered
last month was SSS. The registration
the month previous was 938, which
shows a decrease of 53 last mq^th.
The record month for the registration
of new motor cars was in April, -when
there were 953 registered. June was
therefore 68 behind the record. June,
however, was a record month inas
much as it recorded the highest regis
tration for the month of June since the
registration law. went into effect.
The registration for tha . month
of June since the law went into effect
is: 1905. 498;. 1906, 313; 1907, 561; 1908.
519; ISO 9, SBS.
Another point which shows the great
increase in the number of automobiles
owned in '.he state Is the fact that dur
ing tHe first six months of the year the
registration was, 4,517, as against 3.010
for the s._me period of last year. The
registration for the- six • months '- is
greater than all the registration for
1906, when there were 4,037- motor cars
licensed. It was also within 210 of tho
registration for 1905, when the law
went into effect. The registration for
last year was 5,553.
The Jrecord of the transfers for the
month of June, which means the num
ber .of new owners of automobiles
through the second hand process, was
231. This beats the record of May, 1909.
of ISO by 51. The total number of
transfers for the first six months of the
year is 732, as against 409 for the same
time last year. The total transfers for
the whole of last year was S91 S which
leaves only 159 for this year to beat
last, which held the record of trans
fers up to that time. The transfers for
the six months. Is ; more than for any
12 months previous to 190 S.
Taking the owners of new motor
cars. BS3, and the owners of second
hand cars, 732, together, it will be seen
that by the registration there were
1.617 enthusiasts added to the ranks of
the automobilists.
The report shows that there were 173
licenses granted to chauffeurs, which is
ah increase over the month- of May
NOTES OF TUB- AUTO
-A test recently made by the ynlted
States government shows that motor
cycles and horsemen require about the
same distance to bring their mounts
to a stop. A skilled cavalryman go
ing 25 miles an hour brought his steed
to a halt within 52 feet, while a motor
cycle rider traveling at 40 miles an
hour came to a stop within 147 feet.
A motor, enthusiast of the east writes
that the profits accruing from the an
nual road race in Fairmount park.
Philadelphia, on October 7. will be given
to charity by the Quaker City motor
club. '
That the condition of the .roads of
California is closely watched by the
motorists "in" the. east .Is plainly, shown
by an article recently- published in a
periodical", of ' that section. The writer
states that there are~-5.000" miles of
oiled earth roads in California. He
also goes on to say that the roads- of
this state are almost ideal for touring,
as ! well ; as the 'climatic conditions, dur
ing almost the entire year.
