Joell and W. R. Pearson, As presented at Los Angeles theater Tuesday, July 27, 1909. THE CAST Patriek: 0'Brlen (later impersonating Pietro, the Italian). J.

Joell Nugget, a Chinese cook R. Pearson BY W. HERBERT BLAKE Two interesting providing playlets, scope for 1oth dramatic action and clever comedy impersonation, are featured on the Los Angeles bill this week. Both are entertaining, although far from flawless in detalls of portrayal, Widely varlant in theme and treatment, they are both good examples of the type of brief play which has had its significant development and appreciation under the canny eyes of the vaudeville audience. The Cooper playlet shows a female "episode" in the past of a governor reappearing to plead for the life of her later lover, sentenced to hang for murder.

The woman meets curt refusal of her request on the score of old memorles until she threatens to reveal the executive's closet skeleton by publishing his letters to her, thus ruining his domestic happiness and blasting his for re-election. The motive of jealousy is well handled here, and its counterpart 1g seen in the politician's furtive dislike for his later rival, whose life is in his hands. Pressed for a decision, the governor yields, signs the reprieve; and Is about to send it by special messenger when word comes that the prisoner has cheated the law and also himself by committing suicide. Fearing to intrust the message of death to his own lips, the governor sends the woman away, to learn the news from his clerk. A cry from her tells that the blow has gone home, even as Burleigh tears up the compromising letters, with words of bitter self-accusation on his lips.

There is genulne dramatic virility in the character of Governor Burleigh, much of which Mr. Cooper embodies by his acting. He is smug and assured and has the rotund pomposity of the type. Unfortunately he gives the 1m- pression that the governor carries the utterance and diction of the stump into his private life, which is unlikely. Mr.

Cooper's delivery is too oratorical for the part, and' also, by a curious paradox, at times too Indistinct. His surrender to the woman is too sudden. We are not prepared for it, and it Jolts our sense of reality, which up to that time the interview has fairly well maintained. Despite a tendency to overtheatricize the role, Miss De Voo gave us the Impression of real emotion in the part of the woman. Her work would be more satisfactory if she took pains to articulate her big speeches more clearly.

But with all criticisms made, "The Price of Power" is a capital study of life at short range, well constructed and with a consistent heart Interesta strong, sincere story told graphically, with no unnecessary talk and by simple, logical climaxes. Primarily comedy, "A Chinese Nugget" tells the plausible story of 8.11 Irishman enriched by the gratitude of a Chinese whose life he has saved, concluding with an Italian Impersonation in which the Celt takes the part of the man from whom he saved the servant. AS a salutary object lesson to the latter on the disadvantages of opium smoking. The plot is. thin enough, but it 19 enlivened by some good dancing by Pearson, in the role of the Chinaman, and a song by Joell, in the character of the Italian.

of course, both these specialties delay the enactment of the story, but the same criticism would apply to a fair majorIty of comedy sketch-acts now on the vaudeville stage, na well as to the librettos of nine-tenths of the successful musical comedies of the day. Humor is imperious in vaudeville, and some day we shall doubtless see a chloroformed girl punctuating her state of coma with a girly-girly song. And a Just executed criminal come to life long enough to do a clog dance. Both would be funny. if slightly embarrassing to the probabilities.

Joell and Peason do some good impersonation. The former's Irishman lifelike and would be more interesting if he avoided the monotony of voice and intonation with which he delivers his opening soliloquy. As the Imagined Pietro, Mr. Joell makes up and acts well. Mr.

Pearson's Chinaman 1g a genuine creation. and talks and acts in character consistently. Of the other acts on the bill, the Dumitrescu-Vermette troupe of gymnasts do some and pleasant. husky work on the bars, Virginia Grant sings "Annie Laurle" and "Come Back to Erin" with sweet and tender appeal. The Daring Darts ramble about the flying ladder as if they were born there, and Mann and Franks combine ludicrous and the emotional in fair proportion in character singing and burlesque.

Kelly and Reno are principally successful In breaking furniture. The Laugh-0-Scope is interesting. The fourth and last of the Arizona touring parties of. young women on their way to the Alaska- Yukon exposition at Seattle attended the performance of "A Runaway Girl" at the 70 07 VAN NUYS Jestic last night as the guests of Manager Morosco. In party were the Misses Margery Milnes, Phoenix; Alice Stivers, Jerome; Arizona Ford, Prescott; Mattie Price, Mayer; Josie Vanette, Wickenburg; Eva French, Prescott, and Grace Davis, Winslow.

With them was Mrs. John Milnes, who acts as chaperon. Miss Evelyn Foshia, whose dancing is a feature of "A Runaway Girl," at the Majestic, has been engaged by Oliver Morosco for "The Greater Claim," Linton Tedford's new play, which will be given Its first performance on any stage at the Burbank next Sunday afternoon. At a masquerade dinner given by Colonel Stone in a private dining room one of the divertisements is a dance, top of the banquet table. The dancer appears suddenly from out the heart of a great orange and, garbed In diaphanous draperies, performs her specialty.

Harry Girard and his talented wife, known professionally as Agnes CaineBrown, are going to Catalina next week on a fishing expedition. Mr. Glrard, who is a member of the Washington Waltonian club of Seattle, hopes to return with one of the gold buttons awarded those anglers who land a big fish with light tackle. It is a clean, creditable production of musical burlesque that the Allen Curtis company 1s presenting at Fischer's theater this week. The outline of the one-act offering is from Weber and Fields repertoire, but with this is interpolated some new comedy antics by Arthur Clamage and Lou Dunbar and a batch of snappy song numbers which of the chorus girls.

"Jakey, Mikey and are as up to date any the pretty faces is the rather unilluminating title, which, "Fiddle-Dee-Dee' however, means quite as much as and two of the older Weber and Fields' captions. Allen Curtis presents his familiar and droll vorsion of the Hebrew as amusingly as in his earlier days In burlesque at the old Orpheon, Chicago, which some easterners may recall ns the house of many owners and the scene of some clever musical productions. Curtis' Jew is EL clean-cut, human creature, and he keeps his comedy commendably free of a vulgarity and the suggestive. For this restraint, also, Messrs. Workman and Comer, the new Fischer's proprietors, deserve a word of hearty praise.

There is abundance of fun in the week's offering, but nothIng that should deter any patron of the house from bringing his best girl along to see the show. Charles A. Figg has a strong, serviceable volce and sings his solo numbers pleasingly. Jean Hathaway and Mayme Prager play the principal woman parts, and both sing also, the former in a way that won repeated encores last night. Perhaps the catchiest of the musical numbers are "A Night, a Girl, a Moon" and "When Highland hilarious discord of the band Highland Fling," not forgetting, the finale.

The chorus is sprightly and dances briskly, A little more training in some of its ensembles would improve the general effect. In general the production la a worthy one and apparently launches a playhouse of many vicissitudes upon a career of honest, deserved success. I missed the first murder at the Grand last night, which was hard luck, but I picked up the plot of "The Shadow of the Gallows" without great trouble and with not little hearty enjoyment. The piece is English melodrama, controlled by Miss Lillian Mortimer, but of very different sort of manufacture, which was refreshing for al. change.

There are several fairly well drawn characters in the story, notable among which 18 Zolla St. Mar, the natural daughter of an English nobleman and a wandering gypsy. She is the brains of all the villainy in the play, and Miss Grace Rauworth developed a surprising degree of flagitiousness in ing her. There is some poetic justincation for her rage against. her halfbrother, and her smile in the scene in the prison is as silkily devilish us Chester Stevens' face ever dared to be.

Chief among the thrills of the piece are the attempted murder on the breakwater over the Thames and the final ride to save the Innocent condemned man from the gallows. We see the engine scooting around through the back scenery while the death noose is adjusted and the priest is saying the last prayer. Unfortunate at one moment last night there was A washout on the line. and the engine threntened to slide off the scenery. But all went well, and the good humored luugh which the incident aroused did not mar the climax.

George Webb is saved once more. and I hope the cold in his throat will moderate as promptly, He spoke hoarsely last night, and there was a stiffness in his acting at times that did not aid the illusion of the play. Of the others, James Dillon, Carl Berch, Zora Bates, Sylvia Ashton and Gertrude Claire acquitted themselves well, the latter giving a very simple and ing picture of Sister Cecilia. Alice Lewis shows some versatility in R. comedy role many leagues removed from and Robert Leonard is making rapid strides in the direction of perfect stage wickedness, "The Shadow of the Gallows' is uinely enjoyable to any one who has not outlived his childhood taste for penny dreadfuls.

And I sometimes think that the man who has outlived that relish for the genuine sensationni 1s Ari exile alike from the kingdoms of Romance and Morality, Next: week the Grand company will essay "The Octoroons," by Dion BouelMa-cault Big Changes Expected in Big Caravansary at the Corner of Fourth and Main Streets.
