New Los Angeles Theater.-H. Grattan
Donnelly's latest and best comedy drama
will receive its initial Los Angeles pro-
duction Wednesday and Thursday next,
ANA special matinee will be given Thurs
day afternoon, the 23d. SO much has
been written and said by the San Fran
cisco and our local press regarding this
charming comedy that it would be
supertuous to com ment on its worth. 1t
is conceded to be the play OF the season.
The same children that popuarized the
play in San Francisco will be used in the
eastern territory. Rose Stillman, one Of
the most charming of American actresses,
will play the title role of Jassemine the
American girl in New York. next month.
The story is simple yet effective. A
young Englshman falls in love with
pretty American girl in her home in the
Catskills, and they are secretly married.
Soon afterwards pressing BUSINESS calls
him to New York and he finds that he is
compelled to return to England. lie
writes his wife to that effect and proceeds
on his journey. A jealous former lover,
taking advantage OF the situation. forces
his attention upon tho young girl. She
repulses him and in revenge he forecloses
the mortgage upon her mothers house,
leaving them penniless to fight their way
in the world. The girls husband had
married her under an assumed name for
family reasons. His letters to her are re-
turned to him. as she has left the old
homestead. while she cannot communi-
cate with him owing to the fact that he
has again taken his real name. OF which
she is unaware. The story of her struggle
in the world is told by the author in a
mastery manner, and enables him to draw
characters OF powerful and artistic kind.
The young wife and her children find
their way to London in search of the
missing husband. He in turn has vainly
searched for the missing wife. The man
ner in which they meet, despite all COM
pications, is shown in the play in one of
the prettiest scenes ever conceived by an
author.
