SWEDISH SCHOOL OF
DRAMA OPENS THE
GRAND WINTER SEASON

Chicago liked "Tilly Olson" so well
that 1t kept the comedy there a year
Los Angeles yesterday also gave a
glad hand to the company at the
Grand opera house.
Olsons and Yonsons make sturdy
types on the stage, Notwithstanding
their sometimes uneasy grasp of the
English language, and the undercur-
rent OF plucky manhood and sterling
womanhood that goes with Swedish
character makes the type one that
wins I'm melodrama, whether 1t be
serious or comic.
Tilly is one of the emigrant class
who drifts to Minnesota, where good
and bad abound as they do elsewhere
under the presidents footstooI. She
has her heartaches, her love AFFAIRS,
her hard work and plods along always
on the right side and happening in
when schemes are at work.
The plot has to do with two men
conspring to get a farm and planning
to marry the daughter Of the farmer,
Marvin, to get possession Of the land,
which Is rich, though It's owners do not
know It, These precious sehemers find

Bank OF Scandinavia, Minneapolis,

ding on deposit and she foils the rob-
berry without much trouble.
AS pretty wrestling match between
husky woman and a bold man as
one would wish is introduced when the
villain interrupts Tilly in her attic
bedroom while she is saying her pray
ers. the fellow goes through the WIN
dow, assisted by a muscular Swedish
arm, and Tilly says Amen just as
the scared occupants come to the res
cue.
Two specialties are introduced. Maur-
ice Rene Coste sings and George Falk-
ner does a singing and dancing stunt
that is capital. His mimicry of
George Cohan in Little Johnny
Jones" makes a big hit.
Emily Erickson Green gives a good
type of the Swedish girl transplanted,
brogue and all. George Jenkinson as
the chief villain is merciless enough
for anybody. George Berry as Dad
Marvin plays the father in good style.
Coste carries the comedian role well.
The rest of the players need coaching
in most everything in stage work.
There are a number of pretty
scenes, including the Marvin home,
Loring Park, Minneapolis, the exterior
and interior of the bank and the min
ister's home.

SWASHBUCKLER
PLAY IS A HIT
THREE GUARDSMEN' PlEASES
BURBANK PATRONS
Desmond as D'Artagnan at His Best.
Maude Gilbert Shines in Play.
Hotchkiss Essays Melo-
drama

The slash of swords, the clash of
arms the bravado and the bluster of the
swashbuckler days in France-all these,
with plots and counter plots, intrigues
and foilings of them and the spirited
battle of wits to crown then-these are
the elements of 1.-THE Three Guards
men," that lively Dumas masterpiece
which the Burbank players are depict
ing this week. Very colorful it all is,
and inspiriting, and very well. on the
average, do they present it. And how
hugely it is enjoyed may be guessed
from the delighted expression of
opinion that are heard from all who
managed to squeeze into that theater
twice yesterday.
This Dumas play, dramatically con-
sidered, is merely a series of episodes.
One must know his book to catch the
drift of what it's all about. But even
| though one be ignorant of the text each
episode is SO stirring in itself that 1t
stands out clearly and apart, and is
thus enjoyable for its own inherent
merit. This, perhaps, is the real secret
of the plays successful career. AS pre-
sented in sumptuous fashion yesterday,
the courtly air and atmosphere are
strongly emphasized, and thus the
period and time are accurately por-
trayed.
In the role of D'Artagnan William
Desmond is perfectly at home; indeed
1t would be hard to imagine him in
better part or one that he fits more
thoroughly. His style Of work is just
what the character demands, and he is
true to its life at every moment The
happy-go-lucky swordsman, who thinks
naught of any peril but takes all
chances that come his way and passes
unscathed through situations which
would daunt any other human being
| this he is, entirely. In many roles has
Los Angeles seen this favorite leading
man, but none has he done better than
this.
Close to Desmond is Harry Mestayer
as the cardinal. 1t is another of those
character parts which Mestayer has
essayed of late, and in it he is excel
lent. Maude Gilbert ranks with both
these; as the queen she is convincing,
regal, womanly and lovely. Mary Van
| Buren as Milady is not at her very best,
| but the part affords none of those op-
portunities that have been hers. of late,
and perhaps this is the reason that she
does not quite shine as one would have
hoped. Elsie Esmond as Constance is
sweet and pathetic, and she quite rises
to the occasion in the few strong mo-
ments allotted to her.
Rutledge. Homans and Harcourt, as
the three guardsmen, are all good,
though not startling; Sterling Whitney
is disappointing as Buckingham; Nor
ris as De Treville is not true in the
character, though probably because the
demands on him are too great to permit
his giving it the attention he otherwise
would. Willis Marks is not at all good
as the king, but as the poor innkeepeI
he redeems himself. The other parts
are acceptably done. The scenery de-
serves an especial mention.

blocked. These decided the game
In rushing Yale rushed twenty-one
times for a total Of thirty-seven yards
and loss Of three. West Point rushed
twenty-seven times fora total OF sixty
one yards and a loss Of five. Besides
this, West Point gained forty yards
on two forward passes and once lost
the ball by foul pass Yale tried the
forward pass twice and once lost five
yards and once lost the ball by inter-
ception. Yale tried the short kick four
times and made sixty-five yards, but
only once recovered Il.
West Point used II once for fifteen
yards and lost Il. Yale was held twice
for downs. She fumbled seven kicks
and recovered three of them. West
Point fumbled two kicks and recovered
both.

"A FATAL SCAR" AT THE

UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS

From comedy to melodrama is a
rather far cry, but such is the under
taking of the Howard Hamilton stock

That the production does not measure

no fault of the members of the cast.

flanagan Makes Statement
SCHREIBER'S FARM IS
BECOMING VALUABLE

Barney Schneider is fast making his
Woodland stud famous. Early in the
year he sold the colt Horace e for a
price said to be $4,000, and now he dis
poses of the 3-year-old DR.. Gardner for
Sic, ,000
Both of the horses are by Bannock-
burn and were bred and raced by
Schneider himself. That the latter is in
the game for the business end of it Is
shown by the ready manner in which
he let DR.. Gardner go when Frank Weir
made bid for him after he won his
easy race.
Barney simply set his price and Weir
accepted it without any dickering. He
bought the colt for Frank Farrell.
DIR. Gardner has shown himself to be
a very useful horse since he went east.
He is not far behind the fastest of the
sprinters in short distance events, and
he can go route.

DRAMATIC NOTES

It's defects also are obvious. "A certain

compensated by richness of character

OLD AUTOMOBILES ARE
SHOWN IN PARIS

E PARIS. Nov. 11.-There was a re-
markable picturesque and interesting
procession of antiquated and ram
shackle motor cars from the Palace de
la Concorde to Sevres today. Many
makes of cars were represented, and it
took the participants several hours to
cover the distance of eight miles. A
large crowd derived much amusement
from the parade.
No car could take part that was less
than ten years old, but many modern
machines accompanied the old timers,
and the comparison between the old
and the new excited much interest and
made a most striking example of the
rapid progress made in motor con-
struction in a decade.
