SOME REAL, KISSES
GIVEN ON STAGE
CLEVER WORK IN OSCILLATION
AT THE GRAND
"House Of Mystery" Gives King a
Rare Extraordinarily Fur
nlshes Few Good Parts
For Actors

Osculatory drama blossoms at the
Grand this week. THE House of Mys-
terry" Is the name Of the piece, but that
Is not altogether epropos, for the real
mystery is how the actors and act
resses cen give a correct imitation of
a kissing bee for the money.
A person from Turkey Timber, Iowa,
would draw the conclusion that a game
of "postofflce" was in progress on the
stage, but he would be wrong. Mere
adjectives fail when one wishes to de-
scribe a performance such as THE
House of Mystery" The amiable press
agent suggests the title of "Subter-
ranean Drama" 1t is all of that.
The third act takes place in a room,
the walls of which are covered with
skulls and crossbones. In the center
of the room Is a table which does all
sorts of eerie stunts, such as shooting
up pale yellow flames from skulls
which are scattered carelessly about on
its surface.
Desperate villainy frutlessly con-
tends with spotless virtue. Heavily
armed bands OF ruffians strive to make
away with lone men and women who
are in their power. These same bands
also imprison little girls who should
be at home with their mammas.
Dreadful deeds of absolute darkness
are done and referred to in stage whis-
pers. 1t is certainly a busy play, this
House of Mystery
But where the Grand matinee girls
have their innings is IN the second act,
where the robust and handsome King
wins the leading lady for his bride.
1t is from that scene the drama should
derive it's title. The kisses which King
bestowed upon his bride-to-be were not
the least bit perfunctory, but they
spoke eoquently of a real aptitude
for the task.
No one of the Grand actors has a
good part this week. The ensemble is
all that could be desired, but the indi-
vidual roles lack sincerity.
King portrays a wild but sterling
westerner in good style. Miss Ranken
has a wretched part. and Lillian Hay
ward strives but with little success,
to give the impression Of deep, un-
mentionable villainy.
Frank Frayne is really good this
week and his part suits him very we'll
Myrtle Selwyn as the tough girl whose
brain was affected by the use of perox-
ide. should tone down her Says" and
"Naws." They are really too raucous.
Her makeup was good.
The real hit of the show, so far as
makeup was concerned, was Earle
Gardner. When he first showed his
horrible face and deformed body on the
stage most of the members of the
audience said, "Oh, amt he awful"
He certainly was. He would have
been more impressive. however, IL he
had not spoken a line. for his voice is
mild and out of keeping with the char
acter for which he made up so WELL
Harry Won Meter is, as usual, the
main villain. He is a naughty rascal,
If he was as bad as he was supposed
to be- The rest of the company were
generally good. 1.-THE House of Mys-
terry is an admirable warm weather
play If it does not impress you with
it's weirdness, it will at least make you
laugh.

"CHARLEY'S AUNT" TO BE
SEEN AT THE BELASC0

"Charley's Aunt" the rafting farce
which will be played by the Belasco
company this week, has taken on a
new lease of life.
1t has recently been revived at the
Comedy theater, London, the scene of
it's remarkably successful career of 1900
consecutive performances, and last
May it was revived at the Manhattan
theater, New York, with such profitable
results that it lasted out the season and
will be sent on tour of the important
cities of the country next month, with
Etienne Giardot in the role of the
young collegian who dons feminine
garb and passes himself off as the
funny old lady, "Charley's aunt from
Brazil, where the nuts come from"
This is the part that will be played
at the Belasco tonight by Richard
Vivian. The young Belasco actor has
played the same role on several occa-
sions with stock organizations in Phil
adelphia, Albany and Boston, and it
is said to be his best comedy effort.
All the Belascoites will be seen in
the farce tonight and there is every
indication that "Charleys Aunt" will
prove just as funny to local play pa
irons as it has in New York and Lon
don.

PEOPLES, TO OPEN

Los Angeles is to have another pop
ular price playhouse under experienced
management.
The Peoples theater. located on Main
street, opposite the Burbank, will open
its doors next Sunday eevning, with
Across the Desert as the initial at
traction.
This truly pretty western play does
not abound in gun plays and sudden
taking off," profanity etc.. but the
story is told effectively by the Ethel
Tucker stock company, which for the
past four months has presented a rep
ertoire of good plays at the Grand, Salt
Lake City. Miss Tucker is young and
winsome, and withal gifted, her ad-
vance agent says. and is supported by
o well balanced company.
Manager Mack has purchased the
lease and equipment of the theater
and the pretty playhouse is being put
in shape for a long run of standard
plays. Mr.. Mack has for years man
aged the Van Dyke-E Eaton and Ethel
Tucker road companies.
The prices will be 10. 20 and 80 cents,
and daily matinees. 10 which the ad-
mission will be 10 cents, will tend to
popularize the Peoples theater

THE truth of the saying. where's

Herbert Farieon, stage director of the
Grand, and formerly stage manager OF
the Alcazar theater in San Francisco
is good example of what 1ndomltapie
will and courage can do.
The actor who appears nightly before
large audiences receives the plaud1ts OF
the public, but the man behind him-tne
stage director, works day after day
with only the meager crumbs that Iai,
from the box office. The outside world
knows him not.
1t is difficult to connect Herbert Far

tions at the Grand. l saw him first at
a rehearsal e. few days ago.

1t Takes
Nerve

Everything depends upon
your nerves. 1t is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion of your body; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins; it
is nerve force that causes your
stomach to digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the liver to secrete bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body, so
if you feel worn-out, irritable,
nervous, cannot sleep, or eat
well, have pain or misery
anywhere, your nerves are
weak, and your system rum
down. To restore this vitality
take DR.. Miles Nervine which
will strengthen and build up
the nerves. You cannot be
healthy without strong nerves.
For eighteen years DR.. Niles
Nervine and Anti-Pain Pills have been
my close companions. Early in mar

spells. Then 1 began using DIR. Miles

THIRD WEEK FOR
"THE HALFBREED"
AT THE BURBANK

''The Halfbreed" opened yesterday
afternoon at the Burbank for the third
week. The theater was crowded, as
has been the case at each performance.
The success which has been attained
by this piece seems remarkable until
one sees IT, then the reason is clear.
1t seems likely that II Mr.. Desmond
and the other members of the cast
who are to go east soon were to be al
lowed by Frohman to remain in Los
Angeles the piece would run several
weeks longer.
The incidental music. which is one of
the charms of the piece. and which was
composed by Jo Montrose who has
charge Of the press work Of the Bur-
bank theater, has been changed slight

THE PLAY OF ETERNITY

Gay was the play:
The players to and fro upon the (
boards did move
AS in a brilliant dream.
One played the king:
And robed in gorgeous splendor
was the queen.
Another played the fool.
The scene is changed
In a dark corner dank with vile (
ness lies the queen,
The kings hands at her throat;
A cry. a gasp!
The king, in his great love, the (
queen has slain.
And DER her weeps the fool.
LIFE was the queen.
In joy she reigned her span, till,
recking naught of time,
She came to bitter grief.
DEATH was the king.
Who claimed her for his own for
evermore.
A POET was the fool.

She gave her loved art toll and
sacrifice.
Her souls white prayer and
dreams of paradise.
Pure pearls of passion strewed
she then.
The patrons turned away with
scorning eyes.
She gave her loved art kisses
bitter-sweet:
Strange deadly blossoms OF her
souls defeat
Fell passions robbed of vestal fire,
The patrons lips now burn her
tear-stained feet.
