geles the successful farce by Broad

of his career in the piece. 1t deals
with an impecunious youth who is cut
off from his family without shilling,
and concerns his struggles to get along
in the world. The play will introduce
to Los Angeles the new Belasco in
genue Miss Virginia Brissac, who IS
alread well known on this coast for her
excellent work. The entire Belasco
company will appear.
BURBANK THEATER.-While THE
Forbidden Marriage" has all the ear
marks of a vivid melodrama,. one is
quickly impressed with the fact that
such is not the case when the story
is told from the stage. Every play is
indebted to melodramatic action to
some little extent, and 1.-THE Forbidden
Marriage" Is possessed of just enough
brilliant coloring to make the whole
effective. The characters in the play
are New Workers of today. the scenes
are laid in the great metropolis and
the story has to do with mans tickle
love for woman. The cast IS a long
one and includes several remarkable
characters. Comedy is one of the ele-
ments that enters strongly into the
makeup of the piece.
FISCHER'S THEATER. "Helter
| Shelter" the latest Weber, -Fieldian
musical burlesque, will be presented
by the Fischer stock company for the
coming week. The vaudeville bill in
cludes Ed Crawford and Sadie Duff,

ical Fletchers in the latest novelty
musical act; Paddy Maher, Irish
comedian and parody singer, and new
motion pictures.
