EXPECT BIG CROWD AT PHILATHEA PLAY The stage is all set for the big event at the high school tonight, given by the members of the Sunshine Philathea class. This is a play that is well taken by the public wherever it has been played. The act is made up of local talent, and this is always a drawing card. The show will begin promptly at 8:00. Those who have not already purchased tickets can buy them at the door. As there are no reserved seats, everybody should come early and avoid the rush. The costuming is especially good, particularly the outfits of Lady Crackenthorpe and Mrs. Calquhoun. The cast is: Anthony, Lord Crackenthorpe, Ell Saunders; The Hon. Major Phillips, Samuel Walker; The Hon. Jimmie Keppel Fred Hein; Jack Menzies, Gus Prescott; Parker, Robert Hatcher; Lucas, Alfred Bonney; Lady Crackenthorpe, Mrs. Stafford Sims; The Hon. Millicent Keppel, Hazel Withee; The Hon. Mrs. Calquhoun, Gladys Prescott; Mrs. O'Marra, Jenzie Coons; and the saucy little Peggy, Sylvia Mae Dumas. The prelude will be a big treat. Between acts, solos and quartets will be presented, making a very delightful program. Mr. Vernon Campbell, brother of Ed. Campbell, popular Anaheim man has been engaged to sing several numbers during the evening. As a short synopsis, act I introduces the suddenness of Peggy; act II the suddenness of consequences, and act III the consequences of suddenness. The proceeds of this play are to go toward the plano that the young people's department of the Methodist White Temple is buying. The Village Gossip In a battle that lasted for over four hours, J. B. Handy, of Villa Park landed a huge swordfish. The fish was taken four miles off the coast of Laguna Beach, it weighed 222 pounds. In many ways the catch was one of the most remarkable in the annals of fishing along the Orange-coast. The fish measured 10 feet, 1 inch in length, with a 4-foot sword. It is the New York Letter by Lucy Jeanne Price. NEW YORK, Sept. 9—Here is more and drastic refutation of those who given to helping out a neighbor. A claim New York is heartless and unsizeable and weary family walked into the subway train Sunday evening, evidently returning home from an all day visit somewhere. Father, mother, and four children, they were, and the youngest was a habe in arms. The baby began to cry loudly and resentfully. A young man across the alley decided to try amusing it by making faces. It worked! The infant stopped almost instantly and smiled through its tears. In a few minutes the amiable young man turned to continue a conversation he had been holding with his companion. The baby opened its mouth once more and howled. Whereupon the mother leaned across "Young man," she said, "Will you please make funny faces at my baby once more." We get off at the next station." So until the next station was reached, the poor youth leaped forward and made faces at the baby for the sake of the tired mother and the whole carload of peden-desiring people. Candida—real candles, not electric instations—the back! Dealers say the demand for them in New York has increased-250 per cent in the last four years and a large part of that increase has come in recent months. The reason? No one knows. Maybe our lighting methods have been made so perfect that nothing was left for the ambitions-to-be-different hostess except to go back to primitive ways. The newest fashionably furnished apartments are being fitted with candlebras holding real candles; they appear on the table at the head of the bed, in the smartest hotels; and you find them completely supplanting the brilliant electric lighting at diner parties. It's one thing 16 wear short skirts because one wants to and quite another to go through the streets with one's ears showing and one's head made. That is a matter which nothing but bright, cheery cash can compensate. Therefore, Miss Alice Bloom, model and former actress, sued George Trifton for $175,000. The Village Gossip In a battle that lasted for over four hours, J. B. Handy, of Villa Park landed a huge swordfish. The fish was taken four miles off the coast of Laguna Beach, it weighed 221 pounds. In many ways the catch was one of the most remarkable in the annals of fishing along the Orange-coast. The fish measured 10 feet, 1 inch in length, with a 4-foot sword. It is the largest swordfish ever caught off Laguna Beach. The fish was caught on a 24-thread overimmade line with a 12.0 plunger hook, baited with cornfed mackerel. That reel used was a 500-yard Darden, mounted on a split bamboo pole. The pole was mounted by Handy himself. Handy, with a number of others, were in a launch owned by William Bathgate and Handy. They were fishing for albacore about four miles out when Handy hooked in the largest wordfish. In playing one fish Handy as pole snapped off at the lower joint, but was quickly knocked together with heavy fish cord. Handy was four hours and five minutes in landing the fish, using only about 600 yards of his line in playing it. The launch was towed about 12 miles out to sea before Handy could get the fish under control. Fishermen at Laguna Beach say the fish is the largest fish ever caught off Laguna Beach, with rod and reel. The swordfish was hooked upon a lower fin. More than 500 people a month weigh themselves at the two pair of public scales on Center-st., it was stated this morning by the owners of the scales. This amounts to about a score of persons a day who tip the balances at a penny apiece. Weighing becomes a habit with some folks who drop their penny each day apparently to see how much they have eaten since the previous day. Others don’t weigh themselves for long intervals, and part with their pennies for this purpose with a reluctance which apparently does not trouble them for other purposes. The “dear ladies” are the one’s whose vanity more often gets the better of them, and they sometimes vie with each other as to which of them can tip the scales most often. The men, however, are not far behind, and even the city officials have fallen victim to the habit, dropping their pennies to see who really is the “big man” among them. Apparently holding to the theory that “every dog has his day,” one of the tribe, in transit over the Santa Fe from Fullerton to a point in Oklahoma, decided to have his. The animal went about the business whole heartedly and with firm purpose and was so successful in his being fitted with cancleabra holding real candles; they appear on the table at the head of the bed, in the smartest hotels; and you find them completely supplanting the brilliant electric lighting at diner parties. It’s one thing 16 wear short skirts because one wants to and quite another to go through the streets with one’s ears showing and one’s head naked. That is a matter which nothing but bright, cheery cash can compensate. Therefore, Miss Alice Bloom, model and former actress, sued George L. Trifton for $125 the other day and finally settled for $50. It seems that Miss Bloom’s beauty doctor told her it would be a grand thing for her golden locks if she cut them off right, shaved them off in fact. She did and wore a lovely wig to cover the deficit. One nice August day, she joined a sailing party up the Hudson on Mr. Trifton’s yacht, and because it was such a warm evening, she went into a cabin and took off her adjustable tresses for a few minutes. Tragic few minutes! They were long enough to get the wig into the possession of Cyp. Mr. Trifton’s pet terrier. When Miss Bloom had cooled her head and prepared to deck herself once more in curls, the storm broke. But there was nothing to be done about it then, and the poor girl had to go ashore without her hat as well as without her hair, because it was four sizes too big under the new circumstances. The suit against Mr. Trifton resulted. The only remaining relic in New BEEF FRESH, TENDER, JUICY BEEF IS A SURE TO PLEASE AND THAT’S THE ONLY KIND WE CARRY. We are proud of our reputation for sell choiceest beef and always strive to maintain will find all our other meats just as excellent quality and the price is always right. SANITARY MARK L. A. MILLER, Prop. Apparently holding to the theory that "every dog has his day," one of the tribe, in transit over the Santa Fe from Fullerton to a point in Oklahoma, decided to have his. The animal went about the business whole heartedly and with firm purpose and was so successful in his determination to make his day a memorable one that he had a good part of the station and trainmen on the San Bernardino division up a tree, so to speak. He appeared to be part bull in his breeding, although if you ask the station men to whom fell the task of getting him safely out of town, they will assert that the unmannerly creature had no breeding. He chewed up a truck stake and a broom-handle while en route to San Bernardino and nearly broke up his cage, reducing it to a condition that prompted the people there to send him back to Fullerton to start all over again in a stronger receptacle. The business of changing the excitable brute from one crate to another was not looked upon with favor by the boys, but after an executive session they hit upon the plan of building another crate around the original one, making it plenty large, on the safety first plan. When they saw their passenger safely out of the yards on his way to Oklahoma they had not the slightest regret as to the parting. RAIN PRAYERS END WHEN BOLT STRIKES BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 9.—One man's meat is another's poison. Instance: A pastor, tired of suffering from the continued heat spell,athered his flock together and for three hours prayed earnestly for rain. Evidently his prayers were answered, for the rain came and—in torrents. However, an electrical storm preceded it and a bolt of lightning, striking a manufacturing plant one square away from the church, started a $16,000 conflagration. York City of the days when we were subjects of the British throne is the crest of the Prince of Wales carved in wood over the pulpit of old St. Paul's, in lower Broadway. The famous three feathers were placed there a century and a half ago, when prayers were said there for the King and royal family as they are now for the welfare of the president and other constituted authorities of the Republic. Marcus Loew opened his costliest and finest theater the other night; The State, in the new Loew building, Broadway and Forty-fifth stret. It will have continuous performances of vaudeville and motion pictures, as in the other Loew theaters. Over 100 stage and screen stars gathered for the opening. The conductor on one of the New York Central commuting trains has been bringing to a crisis one way or another all of the young women commuters who have been hesitating over the moot question of bobbing their hair. Orders have gone forth requiring photographs on all commutation tickets. "So I've warned the girls," explained the conductor, "that they've got to decide right now before the new rules go on whether or not they're going to bob their hair within the next year. If they get an unbobbed picture taken and the nobob their hair, they won't look the same and I can't let 'em ride. And the "photo's got to do for a year." "Six Cylinder Love," in which Ernest Truex is starting at the Sam H. Harris theater, is predicted by the critics to be in for a solid year or two of New York tom. It is generally picked as the hit of the new season to day. "Build your own" is the slogan that is erecting a brand new colony of homes in the northeastern section of New York City. Tired of crowded apartments and high rent scores of families are solving the housing problems there in old-time fashion. They are putting up their homes by the toll of their hands and the sweat of their brows. Everyone from grandmother to youngest child is lending a hand. It is no novelty to see the entire family at work on the business of creating a home. One apartment house landlord is not discouraged by any such indications of unrest on the part of tenants. Wm. R. Smith, 110 East 125th-st just believes in being perfectly frank and reasonable and everything will be all right. So the other day he notified his tenants of a considerable increase in rents. He explained the raise by two facts; the block front has the smallest death rate of any in that part of the town; and, even more to the point, he has just lost $100,000 in stocks. Now, what tenant could refuse to add $20 or so to his monthly check in the face of such logic and such naivete as that?
