Lyceum Theater company will open at
the Los Angeles theater for four nights,
during which they will produce a roper
toire consisting of 1.-THE Mayfower,"
"The First Gentleman of Europe" and
1.-THE Prisoner of Zenda." The engage
ment promises to be notable one, not
only for the character of the plays, but
also of those who will present them.
The company includes James K. Hack
EFT, with May Mannering as leading
lady Mr.. Hackett's first notable sue
cess in New York was as Rudolf in 1.-THE
Prisoner of Zenda," since which time he
has become New York's favorite on the
stage. AS George, Prince of Wales, in
"The First Gentleman of Europe" Mr..
Hackett has part suitable to him from
every standpoint. With Mary Manner

In ''The First Gentleman of Europe" Mr.

suited to his spirited style. Mary Man

herself to men and women alike Maude
Odell as Lady Sark is said to give her
performance the subtlety and cunning
brilliancy of the character after whom
she is modelled, i. e., the Countess of
Jersey. Edward J. Morgan as a man
of letters lends to the character the dig
nifty and repose so necessary to the part,
while that prime favorite, Charles Wal
