CUTS THE CORNER. Offloer La Niece stated that the murder car, running west on Twenty-third street, cut the corner, turning south into Main street, to such an extent that both he and Officer Kronschnabel remarked that the driver must be intoxicated. Shouting to his partner to remain where he was, Officer Kronschnabel sprang to his motorcycle pulled the machine from its stand and started after the automobile which had almost reached Twenty-fourth street. "'My partner caught up with the machine, which was not making any great speed, almost at the corner of Twenty-fourth street," said Officer La Nleoe.

They both turned the corner of Twenty-fourth street "together. That Is the last I saw of either one. Shortly alter the two machines went around the corner I heard what I thought was the backfire of the automobile coming to a stop.

Let Literature Go Hang.

When Warner Baxter makes his appearance as the cub reporter in "The Cub," a comedy Which will go on at the Burbank Theater Monday night, it will recall one of the most momentous periods of his young ex istence. Before Baxter decided to beoome an actor he heard the literary world calling him. Anyhow, he thought he heard a call, but be thinks now It was some other noise. He ob tained a Job as a "cub" reporter on a small paper. The city editor gave him an assignment at 1 o'clock.

At one minute past 1 o'olock a stranger stopped him as he was leaving the office and said: I am the managing editor. I want you to hurry to the composing-room and get me a slx- oolnt bulldog." The cub started out At midnight they were still sending him from one department-to another. The next day he decided literature could go to the dogs as far as he was concerned, and started In search of work as an actor. They Look Pretty, Too. There are two little girls In the DlaRhlleff Ballet Russe.

They are only modest members of the corps de ballet, but everywnere they go the photographers want to take their pictures. This disposition on the nart of the camera men, as can well be imagined, is not at all pleasing to the premiere dansuses. When Kachouba's picture appeared on a front page of a New York 'newspaper's Sunday magaslne sec tion, the entire company went to ur, DlaehllefT with their resignation In addition they must have whispered something to Mile.

Kachouba, for no amount of coaxing can lure her to faoe a camera now.

There is no revenge in the dead. In a rage of madness that is like unto the breaking up of the world Virginlus slays the tyrant Applus Claudius, but when he has flung this broken and despised clay at bis feet, his heart yet breaks with the grief that blots the stars.

Only once before have I heard such applause from a Los Angeles audience and that was on the occasion of the same actor's Interpretation of Maro Anthony at the Majestic Theater last Mr. Farnum is a wonaerrui actor for the soreen because he has a soul and an intelligence that will photo graph, but he belongs to the stage, where this high intelligence, taking a supreme measure of the feelings, may be registered by his superb reading.

He was extremely happy in his support the work of Mr. Charles Clary especially, bearing the stamp of large nobility. We are charitable people, we oi Los Angeles.

And Los Angeles, in its own big way, turned out and gave him 1 a rousing welcome yesteraay aner-noon at Trinity Auditorium, where he made his formal homecoming musically, after his large eastern successes. Mr.

Donahue is only going to re main with us a short time, but most of those who were present at the concert could wish that It might be long enough to afford an opportunity of hearing this clever young artist again before his departure to con quer further worlds. His return was surrounded by the atmosphere of rapt attention on the part of the audience, and tne orn Uanca- of Llsat harmonies. The con certo in flat he played with the Symphony Orchestra is a very splen did type of composition for the display of Mr. Donahue's virtuosity of style. He gets a scintillating array of tone as his fingers trace the varied pattern of notes over the keyboard.

The gladness of youth has not di minished In his ert It still is as palpably evident in the diamond- flash of his tone as ever. Meanwhile time has broadened the scope of his power and allowed him to acquire a technical equipment that 13 well-nigh Invlnoible. Lightness and swiftness were the dominant characteristics of his playing of the Liszt concerto. It is a mood that fits his youthful vigor well. Especially toward the close, pianist and orchestra galloped along together to the joyous tempo In a way that provided an exhilarating finale.

Donahue and Director Tandler smiled at each other when the final chord was struck. It was a large accomplishment, the rendition, and they could not help taking some enjoyment In it themselves, because the few rehearsals had provided none too time to become familiar with the work. Within speaking distance of the surcews of the concerto was the presentation of the Brahms Symphony No. 2 in ma.for. As a whole the work reveals Brahms In some of his most delightful moods, loslncr not one whit of the -wondrous richness of structure the while.

The third movement Is the concentrated essence of loveliness, and the second reaches a certain exaltation of feeling. While the melodic worth of the wood-wind passages was not fully emphaslred, the rendition under Director Tangier's baton was. on the whole, quite clean-cut and well colored. In fact. It is very remarkable how much progress the orchestra Is rt the musical side of their productions.

The sr-mngement of the orchestra has been chartered somewhat brln-rlng the woodwinds to a more advantageous position; and It helped to add character.
