clared Insufficient
Dr. Annie G. Lyle, physician for the
parental school and the juvenile court,
Grew the attention of the board of edu
cation yesterday afternoon to danger
of the spread of diseases among the
children unless preventive measures
are taken.
She said that one source of danger
is ringworm of the scalp and another
the itch. The former, she'said, may be
transmitted through the practice of
piling hats one on the other. This,
*he stated, is difficult of cure, and that
the only safe method is by the use of
the X ray applied by an expert. She
asked the co-operation of the board in
making arrangements to introduce this
cure and suggested the name of a prac
titioner. The other trouble she said
is easy of treatment.
Doctor Lyle was requested to have
the X ray operator meet the board that
the matter may be more fully discussed.

Processional to Be Feature? of

Greek Theater .
Virginia. Harned to Appear Mon»

"Anna Karenina"
WALTER ANTHONY
Special dances, a carefully drilled
choir of boy and men singers, a ? pro
cessional on the order of the; one that
was a sensational" feature of her "Joan
of Arc" performance at Harvard last
June, are among the elaborate features
that will mark Maude Adams' produc
tion of "As You Like It" at the Greek
theater in Berkeley next Monday night.
"With ten managers, at. her command
to execute a. multitude of duties, Miss
Adams is accomplishing the.extraor
dinary feat of appearing in eight.per
formances of "What Every Woman
Knows" this week and directing by day
the rehearsals of the separate detach
ments of the "As You Like It" com
pany'which are being drilled in "three
different theaters. A hundred players
were brought from New York to par
ticipate in the production.of "As You
Like It," which will prove, no doubt, to
be the only one in which this part of
the country's play goers ever have a
, chance to see Maude Adams as Rosa
lind. ,
• • *
Virginia Harhed regrets her inability
to see Miss Maude Adams in her presen
tation of "As You Like It" at the Greek
theater, as one of Miss ' Harned's big
successes was scored as Rosalind. How
ever,' the Berkeley \u25a0 performance 'falls
on the opening night ot the stock star
season at the Alcazar, - where Miss
Harned, supported by William Courted
nay, her leading man, and the Alcazar
company will appear^in a repertoire of
her latest and biggest successes, . be
ginning with "Anna Karenina," next
Monday night. - \u25a0 ,; .%"
It is a singular fact regarding Vesta
Victoria, who since her first visit to
America about 10 years "ago has re
turned many times, that-she does. not
outlive her first suocesses. Though she
comes each time with new songs, she
never gets away from her audiences
until she sings the songs which first
made her famous. "Don't Get Married
Any More, Ma," is one; "Dreamy Eyes,"
"Poor John," "Waiting at the Church"
and "Goo Goo" are others of the old
favorites which it is probable she will
be requested to sing for San Francisco
\u25a0when she comes to the Orpheum next
week.
Mrs. Richard Rees, a popular local
soprano, makes her vaudeville debut
next Sunday afternoon at the Orpheum
theater. She will play on the same bill,
that introduces Vesta Victoria, the
famous English comedienne. Besides
appearing at local concerts Mrs.. Rees
has been prominent as a church singer
in this city and has many friends, who
will be interested in her vaudeville de
parture. Her repertoire of songs will
Include specimens of a" classic and
popular variety. ' '
Reversing astronomical processes,
theatrical stars are frequently of mete
oric make. One of these promises to
be Myrtle Dlngwall, if she Keeps on
the path: she; has started: .Two years
ago she was one with the rest of the
"others." She .belonged to the chorus.
Now" she is the singing star of the
Hartman „ opera company and exhibits
a voice of great natural beauty../ and
charm and gets three and four, encores
a performance for singing : "Cupid and
I," with its. regular prima donna skip
pinge and warblings. \u25a0;
When the Princess theater becomes
"part of the Cort circuit next September
the house will continue, as at present
under the direction and personal man
agement of Samuel Loverlch. '-/ The; the
ater has inno sense been leased -to
Cort or to the Shuberts or, to anybody
else by the present management, but
will merely book and play the . Cort
attractions, which include productions
by the * Shuberts,"; the r Lleblers, : Brady,
Arthur and others. Meanwhile, and
after. 'the Hartman season : has ended,
a musical comedy stock , company will
be -presented at the; Princess' for} the
summer and. until the house is opened
for the first time to Cort's attractions.
From advance reports* on^ "A Lucky
Star," in which William Collier will
appear- at ;the Columbia: theater~next
week, the . comedy is ' one ; of 'William's
very, quickest, arid the company/ though
it no longer Includes^ his sister, jwho
was a hit of 'almost; equal-proportions
with Collier : in ."Caught in : the / Rain,"
is equal to the pace that the piece sets.
