which will cut down the revenues Of

of the revenue authorities is impor-

Belasco, will be the offering at the
Grand Opera House Saturday, May

few truly great successes Of the past
season in New York. Continuing
through the winter and spring months

ner, when the company was given a
fortRlghts vacation. The engagement
was resumed in August and up to the
very time OF the companys departure
from New York the nightly audiences
were as large and as commendatory as
those during the first weeks the play
spent in the metropolis.
"The Girl Of the Golden West" Is a
four act play Of California In the days
of 40. written by Mr.. Belasco and pro.
ducei In person by him. The major.
| ity OF dramatic efforts, whose scenes
are laid In the far west, especially al
a time more than twenty years ago,
have exaggerated the characteristics
OF the region in those days. and thus
left an impression Of unmannerly wild.
ness and a fearsome dlsrespect for all
law. The figures In such connections
have appealed only to the Juvenile
mind. In "The Girl OF the Golden
West" the mastery hand Of Belasco.
the playwright, Is probably more plain.
ly shown than in anything else that
has come from his pen. The roIghness
that distinguished life in the Sierra
Nevada's during the gold fever period,
Is truthfuily shown. indeed. but the
poesy which surcharged the atmos.
phere In which adventurous spirits
such as Jack Rance reached their
highest development, has also been
used, and as atoning fluid. Thus while
none Of the crude strength Of tie char.
acters and the time is lost, their at.
Effectiveness Is aceeataated and made
doubly impressive.
"The Girl Of the Golden West is
essentially an American drama, and
that It appeals with Irresistible force
to the Intellectual American audience
Is proved by its remarkable success.
1.-THE Girl Of the Golden West" as
production is wonderful feat Of
stagecraft. The scenes show the Sic,
ra Nevada mountains in midwinter
with a vivtdhess that has ELECTED the
highest form Of. praise. The scenelc
effects include night storm along the
mountain pass and sunrise at the base
of the hills. and there has never been
anything credited 10 Mr.. ,Belasco that
has exceeded these In beauty and
strength. -
