Glove Display Is of Local Factory Milady, ln making her glove purchases, Isn't always so fastidious In regard to their make and whether they come from Paris, London, or other fashion centers as she would be ln the case ot a new nat or the latest style in costume. Gloves look pretty much alike where ever they come from except ln quality and workmanship, and purchasera are rarely exercised over their origin. An arresting "Try Oakland First" placard in a windowful of gloves of Oakland manufacture ls therefore timely. The glove display occupies one of tho windows of H. M.

28 Criticism of his wife's method of dancing, in which he accused her of lifting her skirt too high caused trouble ln the household of Philander 'M. Pray, proprietor of the Iroquois hotel, 835 O'Farrell street and led to Mrs. Pray obtaining a divorce at the 'hands of Superior Judge Flood today.

Record crowds are laughing this week at what Is, without the shadow of a doubt, the most screamingly funny show presented this season at the Pantages. The bill la Just one laugh after another, from the time Van Cello, the barrel juggler, performs his tricks with barrels and risibilities to the time "My Horse" cavorts onto the stage, winks his eyed, kicks his owner and dances the tango.

Between these two extremes are more laughs. Imperial Caesar has not turned to Clay. Ha has turned to laughs and any one who does not believe it need only see him at the Pantages this week. Feet can express anything. A glance at "Feet Fllrtology" will prove It, at the Pantages, and.

Incidentally, the proof Involves more laughs than can be counted. Oeorge Morton, the "Black Dot," adds further to the collection of laughter, and then there Is Alice Hamilton, whose aualnt character monologue is fraught with comedy, and the rest of an Interesting bill to further beguile the vaudeville palate. Manager Alexander Pantages started out to pick a "laughing show." His success Is attested by the crowds attending this week at the Oakland house. "That's My Horse" Is one of the most comical offerings Boyle WoolfoUc has ever turned out. From end to end, It is a continual scream.

There are pretty girls, of course, anappy dances, new enngs but, best of all, there are George Bloom and the "horse." The equine wonder is composed of two men, clever dancers. The sight of a horse dancing the tango on the stage, or flirting with a girl, would make even a real horse laugh. The clever work of Alice Sher, Helen Lynn Schafer, Bloom and Bobby Barrlngton and the rest of the company make the act on long to be remembered. "When Caesar C's Her," a broad travesty on Shakespeare, Is presented by Leonard, Anderson and company. Caesar is made to be a rather modern old gent with many laughable tricks.

Antony has a few more, Cleopatra Is very pretty, and talks with a French accent. The act la Impossible to describe, but from the time Caesar commands the storm to stop, and gets by with it, the act is a riot. George M. Morton, In black face, has "stopped the show" several times. Dan Maley and Mildred Woods In "Feet Fllrtology" have a neat bit of foolishness with music attached.

"The Crimson Stain" and "The Tallow Menace" are the picture features. MISSION 'LAY MAKES 6TRONQ IMPRESSION.

The Mission Play has never before been presented in Oakland, and is now making its farewell appearance here oeiore starling on a long tour or tne eastern cities which will keen the pro duction away from home for two years ana may mean even a longer absence than that aa there Is a growing demand tor extensions of time from cities already booked, and a demand for the production from many cities where it has not been cooked at all.

The leading worn-an, LucreUa Del Valle, give a very strong presentation of the character of Eenora Josefa Torba, a lady of the blood of Castile.

The plan of running a double feature bill on each program has been an emphatic hit with the patrons of the Reliance theater as ls evidenced by the capacity houses which characterize every performance.

Starting with the matinee yesterday, the headllner was House Peters and Kail Kane in "The Velvet Paw" a wonderfully realistic story of life In the National Capitol. It concerns the activities of a woman lobbyist and her wiles during the passage of the Child Labor Bill. Among the many-Interesting scenes reproduced ls one showing the House of Representatives in session. For this a complete copy of the house was built and hundreds of actors take part In the scene. Many of the nation's foremost men are Impersonated and this makes the production doubly Interesting.

Through, out the picture there Is a clever love story woven. Another episode of the Beatrice Fairfax aeriea. "The Forbidden Room," tells a thrilling story of newspaper life with Grace Darling and Harry Fox in the lead ing roles, the latest international News Pictorial and one of the humorous Bray Cartoons are also shown. The nal feature of the bill ls one, of the best Metro productions with Harold Lock wood and May Allison In the leading parts. It is called "The River of Romance," and most of the settings are in and around the plctureeque Thousand Islands in the Bt.

Lawrence river. It is a thrilling story with many beautiful water scenes and was written by E. J. Rath, which is understood to be the non plume of the wife of a well known Congressman. SAVING FAMILY NAME IS AT THE BROADWAY.

The distressed heroine of "Shoes" Is still fresh in memory of these who were fortunate enough to witness that engaging production, and the news that Mary MacLaren ls now playing at the Broadway today. Friday and Saturday In another Lois Weber production will be hailed as assurance. In advance, that "Saving the Family Name" will be a production worthy of the best Bluebird tradition.

One of the bandits uncoupled the mail ear from the rest of the train and then forced the engineer to pull the detached section down the track for a distance of about 200 yards.
