SPOKANE'S THEATERS
The Pollards.

No more popular theatrical attrac-
ton could come to the Northwest than
the Pollard Lilliputian Opera company,
which will be seen at the Spokane
Theatre for one week, commencing
Monday, June 4th. The children's per-
Torrance surprises the most hardened
theatre-goers. 1t is thought that they
give merely childrens performance,
but their singing and acting of the
light operas and musical comedies
proves that they are equal in ability
to grown-up professionals. The com
pany is stronger, better equipped and
more lively than in the past. Their
repertoire will be as follows:
Monday evening, June 4, ga Runa-
way Girl"
Tuesday evening, June 5, 'The Belle
of New York"
Wednesday evening, "The Geisha."
Wednesday matinee, AN American
Millionaire"
Thursday evening, June 7, "A Gaiety
Girl"
Friday evening, June 8, "The Belle
of New York"
Saturday evening, June 9, can Amer

On the unrequited love of Philippe
Derblay, self-made man who has
amassed a fortune in the iron business.
hangs the plot of "The Iron Master"
which will be the offering of the Byron
Douglas company at the Columbia the
atre for the week beginning May 27th.
The piece which is a dramatization of
George Ohnet's book, lie Maitre de.
FORCES" by Lloyd Grand for Mr.. and
Mrs. Kendall, is said to be one of the
strongest plays ever written, and it

While the play is an elaborate one,
to be undertaken by any company. it

will present the drama with the origi-
nal scenic effects and, as the piece,
gives opportunity for elaborate costum-
ing, it may prove to be the best vet
seen at the Columbia.
