MOROSCO'S BURBANK. THEATES
Manager Morosco will offer the Bur-
bank theater stock company in Harry
D. Cottrells romantic drama, THE
Imperial Highway" the week beginning
this afternoon. The play packed the
Burbank theater to the doors for two
solid weeks last year and the announce
ment of it's revival the coming week
has resulted in an advance sale that
] assures another seven days of crowded
houses. THE Imperial Highway" is
n piece that was written especially for
the Burbank company, and William
Desmond appears to better advantage
in the role of the dashing American
captain, Jack Melville, than in any
other Characterization he has offered
local play patrons since his advent with
the Burbank organization. The cast
and scenic effects will be bigger and
better than when the popular piece was
last presented and regular patrons are
requested to secure their seats as soon
as possible.
! OR p H e u M-Socially, as we'll as
artistically, the headliner at the Or
| pheum for the week commencing to-
morrow night should be one of the
biggest hits of the season, for Miss
Lillian Burkhart is returning to the
/ scene of her greatest successes to make
her farewell appearance on the stage.
This retirement, at the very zenith of
her popularity, will bring to Los An
gees one of it's most popular women,
and will lose for the vaudeville stage
one of it's great attractions. Miss Burk-
hart will present "A Strenuous Daisy"
by Anna S. Richardson. The four
Piccolo midgets will entertain with
comedy and acrobatics. Agnes Mohur,
the American Tommy Atkins, will pre-
sent several dances. Mile. Chester's
| statue dog, pure white setter, viii
pose. HoldoVerS are Dan Sherman and
| Mabel de Forest, Rooney sisters, Nc,
Cue and Cahill, AL Carleton, monologist.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE-"Human
Hearts," that perennial 'idyll of the
Arkansas hills" comes to the Grand
opera house for the week commencing
matinee today. Human Hearts"
bears the same relation to melodrama
that Shakespearean drama does to the
legitimate, for no season is complete
without it, For over decade it has
been popular and seems to keep all it's
original charm for the deVotees of senti-'
ment and sensation.
FISCHER'S-Thist theater offers an
other novelty next week in the way of
musical farce, THE Eye Openers"
Harry James latest addition to his coll
lection of clever farces. "The Eye
Openers" does not signify anything in
particular but gives a name to one OF
the skts offered at this theater. In
furnishing the Fischer company with
this farce Mr.. James has written q
satire on the present day lawyer and
exposes his many schemes for ''doingF
his client in the latest approved style.
THE NOVELTY-Next week Man
ager Rothchild will change the policy
of his Novelty theater and go back to
his first love- high class vaudeville
and short sketches to close the per-
fo9mances. Mr. Rothchld has just re-
turned from the east where he secured
some of the best headliners In vaude-
vile to open his house. The new bill
goes on Monday and will prove sem
satonal. The feature for the opening
week is "Phroso," and who can guess
what "Phroso" is? During the en-
gagement in Los Angeles "Phroso"
will be exhibited in a prominent Broad
way window and will also drive
through the streets in an open car
riage and will no doubt create the
same sensation and mysterious guam
dares as in the eastern cities. Other
features of the bill are Kelton and
Lorraine, Fred Lancaster the famous
tenor and the Maltese company of
eight people presenting the latest conn
edy sketches and one-act farces.
THE CHUTES-Sunday fIast was
the inaugural day of popular prices
at the Chutes under the new manage
ment. Commencing on that day pa
irons were permitted to ride down the
chutes and on the miniature railway
absolutely free. The policy of the new
management is to continue this inno-
walton and from time to time add
other free concessions for the pleasure
Of their patrons.
