'The Woman' at Columbia Is a Gripping Drama
Marvellous Belasco Stage Craft Is Secondary
AUDIENCE IS
THRILLED BY
TENSE STORY
Excellent Production With
Clever Actors Is Well
Worth Seeing
WALTER ANTHONY
David Belasco has never staged a
play from "The Rose of the Rancho"
to "The Easiest Way - ' that wasn't a
story. "The Woman - ' at the Co
lumbia Is a good story. Tt was writ
ten by William C de Mille. but it was
garnished with "Amen corners," In his
toric hotels wherein the elevators rose
and fell just as though there were pas
sengers riding to the third floor, and it
was trimmed with realism until the
auditor almost felt that he owed money
to the Hotel Keswick, in Washington,
D. C.
GR!PPIX<; DRIMA
When the third act came the elab
orateness of the Belasco appointments
were justified In a real, gripping drama.
The elevators were forgotten, the
Itchboard with its real telephone girl
on the first floor of the hotel was
ignored, and a situation of inherent
dramatic value was revealed. The au
dience forgot that it was a Belasco
production and began to think that the
folk on the stage were essential when
they listened to the little telephone
defend the wife of Robertson from
York,
only time that Belasco's marvel
ous stage craft is Impressive is when
you forget it. That happened in the
third act of "The Woman" last night
at the Columbia., when Belasco's bet
ter genius developed a tragic impor
tance.
Hi;i.l,o GIKI. STANCH
The little telephone girl, to whom I
have made previous reference, had re
fused to make a telephonic connection
for designing politicians. She knew, in
the second act, that the honor of a mar
ried woman was at stake. Her sweet
heart's father was bent on getting the
truth about her married friend's rela
tions with Matthew Standish. who op
posed all of the sweetheart-father's
ernes. As m&ch as $10,000 was of
fered to the sweetheart, who, as I have
said. Was the telephone operator in the
Hotel Keswick, but she would not tell.
Tt was true, of course, that the wife of
Representative Robertson from New
York had been guilty with the now in
surgent leader, but the telephone op
erator would not admit it. She knew,
but she kept the secret inviolate for two
acts, up to the third, and then the lady
admitted it here* if.
\\ km. BRtw.v s(i;.vi:
Tli» scene of the confession was won
derfully well drawn. The telephone girl
was on the point of going to jail be- j
cause she had refused to connect the
designing politicians with impossible
newspapers when the former wanted to
give to the latter the scandalous story
of the Honorable Matthew Standish.
Perhaps a well regulated newspaper
man might resent the idea that any
newspaper would not refuse to print a \
story that would discredit a woman in j
behalf of a political scheme, nor rise in
wrath at the notion that the "Asso
ciated Press was holding the wires open
for 'the lady's name,'" but the oc-u
--pafll .its at the Columbia last
night seemed to think that the scheme
of the j lay might easily be worked out
on such a hypothesis.
THE MOMW IN THE CAME
However, after the fust ad was over,
the brave little central girl measured
wits with the Hon. Mark Robertson,
the Hon. Jim Blake and other old line
statesmen, and then, after refusing for
the hundredth time to tell the name of
the woman who was registered at a
hotel five years before, the woman her
self entered tho room and saved the
telephone girl from going to jail be
cause she had refused in the second act
to divulge the secret of a telephone
call. The said lady was—who do you
think? She was the wife of the Hon.
Mark Robertson, who was trying to
defeat the Hon. Matthew Standish lyv
digging up the ancient scandal in
which Matthew and her grace—the
present wife of Mark—had been in
volved five years before.
At the conclusion of the plot the
brave little telephone girl and the son
of the arch grafter "arc united. The
said little central girl has done her
best to protect the marital happiness
of Mrs. Mark Robertson. Mr Mark
Robertson has found out from his
spouse tiiat nhe has been guilty with
the Hon. Matthew Standish, his
present opponent in politics and aban
doned the search for the name of the
lady who registered with the said Hon.
Standish at a given hotel five years
ago. Mark forgives Grace and the cur
tain falls on an universal peace—do-
mestlc and political.

There remain but the finishing touches to complete
all arrangements for The Call's big theater party to
morrow afternoon, at which the 50 expert telephone,
operators will be entertained at the matinee at the
Columbia.
"The Woman" will be the play, and it is the first
exploitation of the complexities and trials in the life
of the telephone girl on a big switchboard. The tele
phone girls of San Francisco will be asked, many of
them, to answer the question as to what they would
have done had they been in Wanda Kelly's place, and
why. The answers to this query will be published in
The Call on Thursday morning and will be an inter
esting addition to the criticisms of the play that has
caused so much comment throughout the country.
The theater party is to be an affair of importance.
Automobiles —big, smart, open cars and limousines
—will be supplied by the San Francisco branch of the
Oakand Motor company to carry the guests from the
meeting place in the city hall to the theater.
The Pig'n Whistle shop will send boxes of its most

RAIL CHIEF SPARS
ON WITNESS STAND
A persistent but unsuccessful attempt
to uncover the inner financing of the |
Pacific Electric railway, the great
Southern Pacific subsidiary that grid
irons southern California with 1,000
miles of (ra< k, was made yesterday by
State Railroad Commissioner Max The
len. at a hearing of the company's ap
plication for permission to issue $.->,
--25",.000 of tefundfng bonds.
Paul Shoup, president of the line, was
on the stand during the inquisition, but
his inability to appraise the properties
of the corporation definitely left the
whole matter still a mystery when the
hearing concluded.
"Well. Mr. Shoup," Thelen said after
the Interrogatory, "this being a refund
ing issue requested, we will not go
further into the matter. But I might
tell you now that if your company ever
comes before us with a proposition to
issue more bond - , you will have to be
considerably better prepared as to the
situation and as to what was said and
done at the time of consolidation than
you are today."
Thelen wanted to know the value of
the old Pacific Electric and of the Los
Angeles lacifie the Los Angeles and
Redondo, the Los Angeles Interurban.

two small lines, c.U of which were gath
ered In the present Pacific Electric sys
tem. Shoup krev' little about values.
He placed the value of the old Pacific
Electric at about $31,000,000 in 1908,
but that ended his knowledge.
"Did you not tell your New York bond
buyers approximately what the proper
ties wore worth .'" Thelen asked.
"I do not know that I did." coun
tered Shoup. "We have an office in New
York and that is part of their business,
not mine."
"Well, I hope the bond buyers got
more Information than we have," The-
Itn sighed.
"All our bonds have been purchased
by the Southern Pacific company,"
Shoup said In return, "and I guess they
were satisfied or they wouldn't have
(taker* them."

HOT FLASHES.
Women in middle age often complain of hot flashes. They are at that stage
of life when their delicate organism needs a tonic and helping-hand which only
Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription can give them. Many women suffer needlessly
from girlhood to womanhood and from motherhood to old age—with backache,
dizziness or headache. A woman often becomes sleepless, nervous, "broken
down," irritable and feels tired from morning to night. When pains and aches
rack the womanly system at frequent intervals, ask your neighbor about
Doctor Pierces Favorite Prescription. «|
Mas. J. Imhof, of 321 S. Bentalon Street, Baltimore, Md.. says: "I **

GRADING RUSHED
FOR EXPOSITION
Assemble Equipment for Con*
struction of Gardens and
Courts at Harbor View %
Director M. li. de Young Returns
After Year's Work Abroad
in Regard to Fair
At Its meeting this morning the
buildings and grounds committee of the
Panama-Pacific International exposition
will advertise for bids for the grading
for the foundation of the machinery
building and 'or the construction of the
court of honor and of the festival
court. The director of works will also
be instructed to advertise for teams and
their equipment, scrapers, wagons,
plows and other necessary implements
to be used in the construction of all
the gardens and courts on the Harbor
View site. It is expected that within
10 days there will be 400 head of stock
on the grounds with their necessary
equipment.
At 10 o'clock this morning the com
mittee on buildings and grounds will
receive bids for the construction of
sewers in the concessions district and
in the south gardens, and also for the
construction of a road through Fort
Mason to the transport docks. This
road is to be paved with asphalt, and
90 days are allowed for its comple
tion.
The committee will also advertise for
bids for the construction of a sewer
system in the foreign pavilion section.
This contract, together with the two
other contracts, will complete the sew
ering of the southerly portion of the
grounds.
M. H. de Young, one of the vice presi
dents of the exposition and chairman
of the committee on concessions and
admissions of the exposition, returned
to this city yesterday, after a year's
absence abroad. During his lengthy
stay he visited the orient, India and the
principal cities of Europe. Imme
diately upon his arrival he visited the
exposition building and participated in
a meeting of the committee of which
he- Is chairman. He was cordially
greted by President Moore and the
other directors of the exposition and ex
pressed his pleasure at being once more
in harness and ready to assist his fel
low directors In the important work of
building the 1915 universal exposition.
A coincidence was De Young's return
on the anniversary of the ground
breaking for the exposition a year ago.
He participated in those ceremonies
and a few days later left for the orient.
The interviews he gave while abroad
did much to exploit the exposition.
Wherever he went he gave out infor
mation about the greatness of the com
ing world's fair.

WOMAN IS DYING
OF KNIFE WOUNDS
Alleged Assailant Held in Mys*
terious Tragedy in Apart-
ment House
Suspect Says Mrs. Ziance Tried
to Kill Herself Because
of Jealousy
With two deep knife wounds in her
right breast, which she says were in
dicted by Homer W. Keggler, in the
apartment occupied by the couple at
1365 Eddy street. Mrs. Annie Ziance, a
pretty Italian woman, Is at the point of
death in the central emergency hos
pital. Keggler is locked up on a charge
of murderous assault with a deadly
weapon.
The stabbing took place at 8 o'clock
last night and accounts' of the affair
differ. Keggler says the woman, whom
he' met In Russia several years ago,
tried to kill herself because she be
lieved he was' untrue to her. He said
he had received a letter from another
woman in the evening mail couched in
endearing terms, which Mrs. Ziance
read. While he was reading a paper, he
says, he heard her scream In an adjoin
ing room and rushing to her aid. he
found her on the floor with two wounds
In her breast, a long knife beside her.
The police are skeptical concerning his
version.
Pale and weak from loss* of blood,
Mrs. Ziance from her probable death
bed told the police that Keggler had
beat«n her with a chair until she fell
to the floor and that he then procured
a knife and stabbed her twice. Marks
