AT THE THEATERS

The Burbank—The usual Sunday nigbt audience crowded the theater last evening to witness the initial production of that extremely funny extravaganza, A Cold Day. It is a farce comedy, not a tragedy, but a very hilarious comedy without a plot,but surely written to make you laugh —a piece that unbottles an Immense quantity oi merriment. It is one continual budget of fun every moment the curtain is up. If there was a plot it would he overlooked, as it is completely smothered with an unlimited and constant amount of witticisms and songs and parodies, snd they are heartily received, and every member in tbe cast is

kept constantly busy. The scenery is good and well staged. Prolessor Fox made* bis lirst appearance in Los Angeles a - id gave his inimitable musical selections In the voices of birds; likewise his ex'raordlnary imitations of the songsters of tbo woods and groves and farm-yard poultry. It will require no effort on tho part of tbe auditors during the performance to ".imagine tbat they are really listening to the music of feathered songsters. A Cold Day every evening this week, with a Saturday matinee. •* «r * Ophetim.—The Jay Circus, a farcical comedy by Frank Dtimont, will be seen at the Orpheuni tonight, with comical clowns, strange and wonderful animals, a trick horse and burlesque elephant and the great equine comedian, the lighting an 1 wrestling pony. Major. The Jay Circus is only one ol the many new features. Only one team, tho American Two Macs, remains. Everyone else on the bill is new here.

Shon and Edwards, musical comedy artists, and O'Dell and Page, the funniest acrobats in America, all are to make their first apperance sonigbt. These artists havo no superiors and few equals and the performance gives promise of being the best tbe Orpheum has had. Seats can be reserved for tho entire week in advance.

j THE NEW WOMAN lln the wonderful haze Of these mystical days. The beboiders of wonders are weary; All the changes that ring, All the voices that sing, Are but heartless and soulless and dreary In the clamorous throng. In the shrillest of song, Sound the voices that should be tbe sweetest And the hand tbat should now Soothe the feverish brow Wields tiie baton where din is completcst. All the weary world sighs For a glance from the eyes That show pity and lovo and caressing, For a touch of the hand That attempts no command— That is only uplifted in blessing. Do we live but to live; Do we give but to give; Do we get but to get. and keep getting? Do we si:'h but to sign; Do we cry but to cry; Do we fret but to frtt and keep fretting? Do we know but to know; Do we grow but to grow; Do we fail but to fail and keep failing? Do we try hut to try; Do we die nut to die, Do we wail but to wail and keep wailing? Is there nothing to love On the earth or above? Will tbe Father deceive us forever? Must a mortal be thrall To a funeral pall; A.ul to nothing but what can dissever? Will the sweet Utile dears Of the vanishing years Never prattle again for the weary? Has the crazy old eartli Banished all of its mirth; And must all of the future be dreary? It will pass liko tho noon, Or a cloud o'er the moon; In the heavens the starlight is breaking. All the plai.ets that roll Are but eyes of tho soul: And the brightest show the souls tnat aro waiting. Thou, the girl with the eyes Like the stars in the skies. With tho tcctii like the pearls in the sea, dear. Wit. a heart full cf love Like the angels above Every soul in the world loveth thee, dear. Ana the weary old earth Will regain all of its mirth When thy beauty these phantoms replaces; When thy sweet, holy eyes Will but look with surprise On the love evermore in our faces.

Bread Should Cool Slowly Now York Tiroes: An authority on the chemistry of foods cautions housewives ou cooling loaves of bread too rapidly after taking them from the oven. ' Much of the souring of bread," says Dr. Woods, "is doubtless dv« to lack of care during cooling. Owing to tho high water contents and the large amount of nitrogenous substances anil sugar which bread contains it, is, especially while warm, a good soil for the devel.pment of various kinds of molns and bacteria. A loaf of btSad," be adds, "hot from tbe oven, taken into v poorly ventilated room tilled with people, will become sour in the course of two or three hours."
