The readings of Mrs. Ralph C. Harri- son and Mre. B. F. Norris were given | with a ling born of intimacy with the prose-poet and his sweetheart. Following the intermission came the piece de resistance to the sound of | sweet music from afar—the play. Now, | a Browning play is a thing apart from the plays of the workaday world, for they stand for mental rather than| physical action—and therein lies one | bar to the popularity of the Browning pl But ye who scoff would have | remained to pray had ye heard the in- | terpretation as given last night by am- ateur rnful word, but true—but in truth, lovers of the lines they spoke.

As an antidote for divorce I know no better pabulum. The audience? Smartly gowned, | terested, and therefore appreciative. But why, oh why, will women with rustling taffeta flutter about from room to room, -just at a psychological mo- ment? . Railrdad Switchman Killed. W. Moore, a switchman, employed bty the Southern Pacific Company, was killed at 10:50 a. m. yesterday by be- ing run over by three freight cars at the crossing of Towa and Seventeenth streets. He had stepped off a car to “throw a switch” and was struck and knocked under the cars by a tele- graph pole that was standing close to the track. He was about 30 years old and lived at 907 McAllister street. | of | ter, ' BHOWNING Y‘RAMA PHILIP RYLEY MARRIES A PRETTY SHOW GIRL Clever Comedian, Unknown to the Members of His Company, Quietly Marries Miss Slaughter. Philip H. Ryle the clever comedian “The Tenderfoot,” now playing at the California Theater, surprised the members of the company by getting m. noon yesterday. Pretty d Miss Daisy Leighton Slaughter, one of the show girls of the company, con- | tributed the er part to the quiet wedding. They were married by Rev. Father Prendergast of St. Mary's Ca- thedral. Mr. and Mrs. Romain played the second part. Ryle and his bride have been to- gether for several years. Miss Slaugh- whose stage name is Daisy Leigh- ton, was one of the original Florodora girls that made such a hit in San Francisco. She is a tall, handsome brunette, and has a statuesque form that wants no feminine charm. There has been a feeling for each other be- tween the two for many months, and t has been whispered among the members of the company that San Francisco was the place where the event was coming off. When Miss Slaughter showed a large solitaire dia- mond her fellow members grew sus- picious, but were not aware it was go- ing to happen so soon. The charming bride did not appear in her usual role last evening. She occupied a box at the theater, and the members of the company kept their eyes on her throughout the per- fermance, and Ryley was the recipient of congratulgtions from his many friends in San Francisco. After the marriage ceremony was performed the couple drove to the Clff House, where a dinner was served. —_———— Living up to a name is a difficult and a great achievement.

WEDDING RITES PERFORMED IN FLORAL BOWER —_— The wedding of Miss Bella Gerstle and Mortimer Fleishhacker took place yesterday at high noon at the bride’s beautiful home in San Rafael, and was in all truth, of note, uniting as| it did two familles closely identified | with the upbuilding of San Francisco. The bride, in an exquisite robe of | heavy white satin, was attended by | eight bridesmaids, who, in white frocks, | girdled with yellow and wearing huge lace hats, formed a proud processional. In this picturesque train were Miss | Mack, maid of honor, Miss Hecht, Miss Levison, Miss Greenbaum, Miss Joseph, Miss Frank, Miss Lilienthal and Miss Rosenbaum. Out on the lawn a pavilion hag been | erected—a bridal bower among the| trees, with the blossoms flaming from | every bush. proceeded, the Here they were fair awaited by Rabbi the groom- and his best man, Edward Schussler.

The nuptial breakfast was served on the tennis court, carpeted and canopied |and banked with brakes and redwood And to the trees, the grass, the flowers—to the fair bride herself—the sun sent down his warm caresses and sweet was the air soms.
