LOS ANGELES THEATER-The an
nouncement that Daniel Frohman will
tonight at the Los Angeles theater pre-
| sent his greatest Lyceum success, The
| Prisoner of Zenda. with the same cast,
headed by James X. Hackett, which
created such favorable comment when
the play was revived in New York last
year, has created widespread interest
among the theatergoers of this city. 1t
was thought to be a hazardous expert
ence on the part of Mr.. Frohman when
in February last season he revived this
play at the Lyceum theater with the
same cast after it's great success at
that theater with popular star as the
central figure Mr.. Frohman's argu-
ment that the popularity of the attrac-
ton was due more to the strong ele-
ments of the play than any other cause,
that ITS drawing capacity had never been
fully tested, seems to have been practi
cally true. The revival proved one of
the most potent attractions in years in
that mouse, and its capacity was tested
to the fullest up to the very last night
of the engagement. The same results
have attended the recent engagements
OF The Prisoner of Zenda in Chicago and
Cincinnati, where the play was also seen
last year. That the coming production
at the Los Angeles theater will be first
class in every particular goes without
saying, as Mr.. F'rohman's name is suf-
hcient guarantee of that fact The Los
Angeles theater should be filled to over
1loWlng at every performance of The
Prisoner of Xenda as presented by Dam
lei trohman's carefully selected Ly-
ceum players. 1t is really delightful
piece, and even the most blase theater-
goer should take pleasure in seeing it.

THE BURBANK-Faust, with all it's

TO severe sickness, may never be seen
in the character again. A. splendid per-
1ormance is guaranteed. Faust to-

ORPHEUM-This house is to the
front with another fine bouquet of vau-
deVille artists, this time bigger and
brighter than all previous shows Nine

the strongest aggregation the Orpheum
has ever billed.
