Request for Machines and Tooth-

some Dainties Meets withSubstantial Answer

All plans nre mnde and arrangementsperfected for a delightful oiulng at thebench today, when the orphaned andhomeless children of Los Angeles willbe entertained by the Humans society.Plenty of automobiles have been prom-: ed I" transport all the children safelylo their destination. Handwlehes andIce cream in cornucopias, fruits andnuts and popcorn are all provided Inenormous quantities. Indeed, the char-ity of the Los Angeles caterers and

f manufacturers of foodstuffs hasbeen unusual, find everyone seems tohave entered Into this affair with aspirit which assures not only a de-lighted mind, but a satisfied and con-tented little body for each boy andgirl who shall enjoy this trip.

The entire arrangements concerningthe parade win be in charge of JackJenkins, who will be grand marshal ofthe day. He win have for his as-sistants N. W. Myrick. Qesner Wil-liams, Alvln Frank, W. D. Longyenr,

Alexander Brownsteln, H. D. Krohn,Bruce Carter, C. M. Pierce, RolandCrocker, Bob Gaylord, Glenn Edmondsand Godfrey Holtorhoff, jr. These menwill act us captains,' and each one willhave under his Immediate supervisionten automobiles,which will hold from.Ove to ten children apiece.

Dyas-Cline company has contributedbadges for the children to wear, and asthey leave the homes and Institutionsthis morning they will have, these rib-bons fastened to coats and frocks, sothat they may he easily Identified, inthe throng of children which Is con-stantly in evidence at the Venice beach.

The women who have been patron-esses of this society are numerous andinclude not only many who have al-ways been Identified with this workbut hosts of prominent club and so-ciety women who have had their In-terest in this organization aroused justrecently. From these new members thoofficers and directors of the humanework in the city hope for great results.They believe that by thus demonstratingwhat they arc doing In caring for casesof dependent and helpless young folkjthey will be enabled to have greaterfunds nt their disposal, and thus alarger working force. The members ofthe society now afford only two outsideofficers, and truant girls and hoys andothers not willfully mischievous per-haps, but led by companions Into thefirst little careless ways of the city, arenot sufficiently protected. With theincrease (if Interest In the work therewill be an attendant Improvement Inthis condition. Mrs. M. A. Kubel, whois the secretary of the society, reportsa remarkably busy season Just passed,a season when many homes were foundtor destitute children. Mrs. CharlesModinl-Wood is deeply Interested InSthe outing today.

It has been the aim of the officersof the organization to help their wardsby self help, rather than by constantasHistanco. Families where dlsrordreigned have been either brought toharmony or the children have beentaken to some good home where peaceand quiet and proper care are their al-lotment. In these ways, as well as

'those more generally recognized, theHumane Foclety has done and is doinga splendid work, and all those menand women who help in the arrange-ments today are contributing liirgely

toward that end.The children who will enjoy the ride

today Include small groups from thoLark Ellen home and the Home Find-ing society, forty-five will come fromthe Belle White house, fifty from theJewish orphanage, fifty from the Al-pine orphanage, 100 each from theGuardian Angel's orphanage In Picostreet, from the Boyle Heights or-phunago and from Anaheim, fromwhich place tho Sante Fe road willbring and return tho children free ofcharge.

The children will be brought to Ham-burger's store, and a parade will startthat will take them about the principalstreets of the city before they go toVenice. Further pleasure drives willfollow their advent in the towns ofcrescent Bay and they will make prac-tically a tour of the beach before theyreach Venice and are given the priv-ileges which are to be theirs for thisday.

REALISM AND ACTINGSAVE 'VIA WIRELESS'

Vesta Victoria Is Hit as HeadlineFeature of Orpheum Bill.

Theatrical News

Except for several bits of exception-ally clever natural acting and a realis-tic scene In the fourth act, "Via Wire-less," which was ifiven its Los Angelespremiere presentation last night at theBelasco theater, is dull and tiresome.The play Is frankly melodramatic butlacks strength, the thrill of that . sortof dramatic offering. .

From the first moment the handsomenaval lieutenant has a passage-at-armswith the Jealous underhanded managerof the Durant steel works, one realizesthat the hero will marry the heiressand te gentlemanly villain will be rout-ed completely. The element/ of sur-prise Is taken away In the first act andnever restored. Of big, tense, dramaticsituations there are none. The cli-maxes are weak and theatric. Even thewireless scene of the fourth act, whilerealistic, is not of sufficient power togrip and hold one's attention in a!nerve-tingling grasp. Were it not forthe fact that some scenes, especiallythose In the office of the steel plant,are .played in a natural, unaffectedmanner, "Via Wireless" would be flatand flabby.

It Is the work of the stage carpenterwhich makes "Via Wireless" possibleat all. He has builded some sort of acontrivance which produces the effectof a boat rocking and swaying, tossedhither and thither in a storm at sea.For that effect, somebody must bethank.'d. Again, the wireless appa-ratus is "practical" and worked lastnight exceptionally well. One otherbit of realism is worthy of attention.An apparently red-hot cannot, freshfrom the flames and just ready for thetempering bath of oil, is whisked by thewindow of the steel plant office In thethird act. The effect Is realistic enoughto cause wonderment. Aside fromthese effects, there Is nothing distinct-ively worty about the entire play,which Is presented in five acts. • • •\u25a0\u25a0

The act in which the fttorm at seaoccurs is commonplace.- It Is too long,not tense enough i and is subject tomore or less ridicule because of thethinness of the lines and the theatricaleffects. The wireless scene is too shorta lever to lift the play from the com-monplace level upon which it rests. ..

Reverting to the acting, mentionedabove, the second act Is played in theoffice of the steel works. At one timethe telephone rings. An office boy

\u25a0answers it. Ten a stenographer iscalled to the phone. Her actions andher answers to supposed questions arethe acme of real life. Her observa-tions on everything a comedy un-adorned. When the stenographerleaves the phone the plant draughts-man answers. He, too, plays the smallscene in a manner which is absolutelytrue to every day existence. But, tak-ing the act as a whole, there Is nothingworthy in it. Men and boys runningIn and out of the office fall to createany tensity. The finale of the act ispoor melodrama at best. A quick fightbetween the manager and Lieut. Som-ers is followed by the appearance ofthe flaming gun, mentioned before. Asthe gun passes the window the lieuten-ant-shrieks "That gun; that gun!" Itsounds like the wail of a lost soul, nota defeated man. The whole climax istwdy and unreal.

Adele Farrlngton did the most artis-tic acting of the piece. As the flippant,slangy stenographer, she was beyondcavil. Ida Lewis also contributed anartistic bit In her characterization ofMrs. Durant. Her observations jophow to win a woman's love, were de-livered In a satisfactory and convinc-ing manner. Lewis tSone playedLieut Somers very well, in fact bet-ter than the role deslrves. In the thirdact Mr. StSone was delightful, when heand Miss Oakley had a near-love scene.For just that one scene, the play 'isalmost worth seeing. Frank Camp wasuncertain as Edward Pinkney, man-ager of the steel works. . He stumbledover his lines a great deal. His con-ception of the role seemed excellent.Possibly he will enact it better afterhe is surer of the words he has to say.Richard Vivian has fallen into thehabit of understudy, it seems. Al-though he had but a few lines to de-liver last night, he did not know themwell at all. Once; when a line "wasthrown to him" from the wings, it wasnoticeable all over the theater. CharlesGiblyn personated the -wireless operatorhysterically. • But he seemed to pleaseeverybody, for he received much ap-plause; , Possibly that was caused bygratitude , for his having supposedlysaved thrty lives rrom a watery grave.Miss Oakley gave a sweet and at-tractive portrayal of Frances Durant,

and she looked quite beautiful in thefirst and second acts. Others in thecast were satisfactory.

• * •Vesta Victoria, dressed In a pretty

white frock, walked onto the Orpheumstage yesterday and, in a rather husky

voice, sang a lilting melody about"Take Ma There." I was disappointed,saying to myself, "And she gets $2000a week for that." Then she walkedoff the stage. Some in the audienceapplauded. A brief wait followed. Inthat period most of us learned therefrain of "Take Me There." Oncemore Vesta Victoria came onto thestage. This time she appeared as theVesta Victoria we all wanted to see—a singing character comedienne. Herselection "Skating" was a screaminglyfunny burlesque. It hit everybody onthe funny bone. When she had sung

the chorus several times she had wonthe audience. Vesta Victoria knowshow to sing character songs, and sheknows how to wear dresses which inthemselves are laugh-producers, butshe is a sad failure as a "straight"singing comedienne. Her "The Widow"is risque comedy. Her "Now I Have toCall Him Father" is typically Eng-

lish and a scream. Her "It Ain't AllHoney" is old, but so clever it is evernew and delightful to hear. Her en-core, "The Artist's Model," is anotherold selection, but is one of her great-est successes.

Vesta Victoria is a typical musichall singer. She throws kisses to the

gallery—a music hall trick. In the ver-nacular, "she kids" all the time. Hercomedy is broad and of the low type.

Possibly because such comedy emanatesfrom a woman it la laugh-making.Personally, I am not a devotee of com-

edy of that sort. I like a bit of spice,but the whole pepper box dumped intomy food makes me sneeze.

We have been told by the press agentthat Vesta Victoria is "The Queen ofEngland's Comediennes," and that sheis vaudeville's greatest artist in herline, as well as tbe highest priced ar-

tiste. Why, then, does she use an-nouncing cards which are old, torn anddirty Why does she place those cardsupon an easel the enamel of which iscracked .and Where not lacking, be-grimed? Is that art? Ten dollars atthe most would replace the cards andeasel. Surely that is not a very greatprice to pay for cleanliness. It Is atrifle of that $2000 salary. It Is smalldetails like the cards and easel whichgive a wrong impression of perform-ers and which force us to believe $2000salaries are paid largely In "stage"money.

Aside from Miss Victoria, there areseveral pleasing entertainers on thebill Our old friends Fred Warren andAl Blanchard live up to their Intro-

duction—"singers who can sing andcomedians who can comede." The act

Is similar in many respects to the oneused for years by these two comedians.The finale, "He's a Cousin of Mine,

sung in lierman always has proved amlrth-provoker. Grigolati's aerial bal-let is a spectacle of grace and beauty.The introduction of live doves is anovelty. Franklin and Standards pre-sent a pleasing acrobatic act. Hold-over acts are Lyons and Yosco, theharpist and the singer, who scoredagain yesterday afternoon as they dida week ago; Paul Spadoni, of whom thewriter said last week, "He's the bestjuggler the Orpheum has presented inmany months"; "The Code Book." adramatic sketch, and Hal Merrltt, whoentertains fairly well.

Sidle Lawrence writes from Minneap-

olis, where he has gone to join theranks of the plutocrats, "I droppedinto an amusement place the afternoonof the Jeffries disaster to get away

from the noise, heat and my grouchresulting from the fight. Imagine my

surprise when I beheld Hobart Bos-worth, Bob Leonard and Margaret Wil-liams acting away for dear life. Ofcourse, it was only a picture of myfriends I beheld, for Iwas in a moving

picture show nhop, but it made methink of home. I forgot all about my

troubles and watched the show twice.

Music NotesIt should be a pleasure to the man-

agement of the Levy cafe chantant tooffer to their appreciative patrons thewell balanced bill they have this week.The newcomers are Miss JeanetteYoung and the Florence Trio.

The Trio, three premier grand operasingers from Florence, Italy, capturedthe listeners last evening with theirfirst selection, following this initial hitby an equally successful second selec-tion. The many who have visited thecafe during the past ten weeks havelistened with pleasure to the renditionsof the Kristoffy Trio, but, the Flor-ence Trio promises equal satisfaction —particularly in the solo work.

Jeanette Young came as an unher-alded soprano, but proved herself amore than worthy newcomer. At home

in grand opera, arias, she is suprising-ly fascinating in the simpler ballads.

Mme. Renee Dyris, O] eratic soprano,was unable to appear on account of avery severe cold, but will be in thebill tonight.

Albert Pench. character song delin-eator, sang three selections with great

effect. He impersonates the Italianand Hebrew and also sings straightEnglish songs.

The Makarenko Troupe, handsomely

costumed, attracted considerable at-tention in its new Russian dancesand songs. This is one of the most in-teresting combinations seen at the cafesince its institution. The dancers wearexquisitely embroidered costumes,which are entirely different each week.The agile dancing so representative ofthe Russian life is remarkable andthe singing of the leader, Mr. Makaren-ko, adds to the interest in this a£t.The troup will close here week afternext, going direct to New York city.The Kammermeyer orchestra supplieda new program.
