COMING ATTRACTIONS

AUDITORIUM-Fo the first time on
any stage Dick Ferris will offer at the
Auditorium this week Gertrude Nelson
Andrews play of human life, Kate
Shannon" This is a drama of today 1t
is not a problem play in the accepted
sense though it carries a vital motive,
and appeals both to those who like a
strong play cleverly done. and to those
who read into everything dramatic con-
illusions of their own. Mrs. Andrews has
been two years writing It, and it has al
ready been accepted for eastern produce
ton. In the name role Miss Stone says
she has found her ideal characterization.
She believes it the strongest part she has
ever undertaken.
The drama will mark the return to the
Ferris ranks of Harry eastman, last sea-
sons favorite comedian, who will play
Pat Brady, an Irish character part; and
the initial appearance of John Phipps, a
Young man not wholly unknown here, but
who in Tom Shannon. the boy, will make
his own place in local ranks. Montell
and Miss Barker find delightful oppor-
tunities in the play, while congenial role
will bring Carrie Clarke Ward back be-
hind the footlights.
The play has several strong climaxes.
one of almost tragic import taking place
with a Bohemian revel as a background.
II also carries series of mystic signiti-
canoes which many will find almost Ib-
senic. Mr.. Ferris has taken special pains
In the cast and scenic investiture, and
Mrs. Andrews herself has attended to the
stage direction, with Sedley Browns as
sistance.
Following Kate Shannon" Mr.. Ferris
will offer 1.-THE Redsl1in," play dealing
with prehistoric Indian life, every char
acter of which is an Indian. To carry
this through Antonio Apache has been
secured as adviser All the costumes,
scenery, accessories and properties will
come from the Indian Crafts village,
made under his personal supervision, and
will be historically correct
BELASCO--For this week the Belasco
will offer 1.-THE Three of U.s. play new
to Los Angeles, rut which has met with
marked success in the east where 1t was
played by Car.otta Nilsson. The scenes OF
the story are laid in the mining regions
of Nevada and the titular trinity is made
up of Rhy, Glenn and "Sonnie' MacChes'
ney, who own a mine in which the CIR
has more faith than her brothers. There
is, Of course, a pretty love story, which
ends happily despite the pressure
brought to bear upon Rhy to compel hei
marriage to the wrong man. The charm
of the play is said to be due to it,
Los Angeles herald., 1908-01-05

scented. three of them recognized eastern
successes and the fourth an untried play
bv some local author. No formal an
nouncement to this effect has been MADE,
hut the pIaywrights seem to have heard
of it and as a result Manager Morosco
has spent considerable time recently Ia
reading manuscripts submitted to MIN.
He has already accepted several OF these
playlets for future production The first'
unnamed as yet, will be presented inns
month. with 1.-The Cat and the Cherub,
1.-THE First Born" and probably Madame
Butterfly" which, in its operate iorm'
will be heard at the Mason opera mouse
a few weeks later.
The Belasco News. dormant for some
time past, has been revived. John Black
wood, manager of the Belasco theater,
edits the publication himself and presuul-
ably it will be conducted along the lines
that made lit popular during previous
incarnation.
With this weekly in the field, Los An
geles will have two papers devoted to
exploiting two different stock companies.
The Ferris Habit. published by Dick Fer
ris at the Auditorium, has heretofore had
things all its own way. Now 1t IS to face
competition The Ferris Habit Is edited

be here five weeks. and the other operas
to be presented in addition to THE
Toymaker," which opens tonight. will be
"Babette," ship Alloy" and "Fantana."
"Babette'' is the opera first used by
Nine. FRITZ Scheff after she left the
grand opera stage to become comic
opera star.
Lehar just as present is the sensation
of the musical world. THE Merry
Widow" has carried all before her. A
Los Angeles man recently in New York
told me that he tried to hear the opera
there. but found seats sold for a month
in advance. On the curb poorly located
sittings were held by spectators at $40
each, and so the widow merrled, but not
for him.
Der Rastelbinder'' is said to have the
same delightful qualities that have made
the other work famous, and its forth
coming production here, if present plans
do not miscarry, should prove an event.
Literally translated the title means ven
dor of rat traps" but this being insult
able for English use the opera will be
renamed before It's local presentation.
Oliver Morosco has discovered that
there are other playwrights in Los An
geles. Morosco has decided to give one
act matinee performances each month
devoted to the presentation of one-act
plays Further, he has decided to give
local playwrights chance, AT each OF
these matinees four playletS will be pre-

made no threats. but they know a floods
in prospect nevertheless and they are
making preparations accordingly. ASK
them how they know it and they will

matte editor of The Herald, who has sue
ceeded in popularizing it far beyond orig
inal expectations. Editor Cline and Ed
tor Blackwood have been good friends
in the past but when they load their
fountain pens and go cunning for each
other there's no telling what may happen.
Down at the Burbank Manager Morosco
is too busy writing plays to assume other
literary labors. However, he has "h4on-
trose's Column" in the program to fall
back upon in times of stress. All of
which should contribute largely to the
gayety of theatergoers. And so far as
can be seen without the aid of binoculars
that reported entente cordiale between
the two Main street houses has not pro-
crossed so very far beyond the armed
neutrality phase after all.
Several changes of Importance are an
nounced in the ranks of the Ferris com
pany. Harry eastman, who was with
the company last season and who subse
uuently Joined the Calfornians, returns
to the Ferris management for two weeks
and will create the Irish character role of
Pat Brady in kate Shannon" John l.
Grips, an actor favorably known In the
east but stranger here, will play Tom
Shannon, Hates son. At the close of his
two weeks engagement Mr.. eastman will
go into vaudeville Other early changes
! will find Carrie Clarke Warde in the roles
which have been played by Anna l..
Bates while James Nelson will succeed
Henry Duggan.
The Ferris engagement at the Audito-
rum, originally for sixteen weeks, has
been extended another month and may be
heightened out a month beyond that. AT
the end of the sixteen weeks season, II
present plans are carried out, the com
pany will be completely reorganized.
OF the seven Los Angeles singers who
left here with the San Francisco opera
company when that organization departed
for the north two months ago, only two
return with the company. These two are
Mary Brooks and Ruth Saville, both Of
whom have made good in pronounced
fashion. Early morning trains. one night
stands and rehearsals under strict music
al and stage directors persuaded the otn-
ers that a comic opera life was pot Sc
very comic after all.
| The principals of the company remain
practically the same, though Blaisdell Is
among the missing. Teddy webb, lot

expected to rejoin before the coming en-

she was two months ago, and that is re-

LOS ANGELES-The San Francisco
Opera company, an organization that
needs no introduction to local theater-
goers. will be at the Los Angeles theater
for five weeks commencing tonight. The
company as at present constituted con-
sists Of Aida Hemmi, prima donna; Eu-
gene Wiener, tenor; Maude Beatty con-
tralto; Arthur Cunningham, baritone;
Daphne Pollard, soubrette, and Come
dams George Kunkel, William Harris
and Frank Bertrand. 1.-THE Toymaker, "

is in two acts and four scenes. Full
scope is given for costuming and scenic
effects, a feature being the toy shop OF

known her in her earlier days. Ultimate
ly, after saving the princes life, sne
becomes his wife, the story ending nap
ply, as all romantic plays must.
Has Unique Scene
The play has one unique scene, the
setting showing a bare stage, the COM
many assembled for rehearsal. Here the
girl queens it over the court gallants
who come to visit her, as was the fash
ion in those days. Incidentally she be-
comes the central figure in little pro-
team comedy, assuming several different
DISCUSSES, under cover of which she
tricks not only her admirers but Numbers
of the company. One Of the characters
impersonated is the duke of Buckingham,
but so cleverly does the player handle
her part that she is not suspected.
Mr.. Morosco expects also to present
third new play by Miss Matthews before
many months, though the script has not
vet reached him. He received a letter
from her a few days ago offering Inn
first chance on all her plays for the
future and this probably means that most
of her work will have its tryout at the
Burbank
other plays to be presented at the Bur
bank in the near future include Mrs
Fiske's "Tess of the D'Urbervilles. y
which never has been done In stock;
"Zira," recently played by Miss Roberts
at the Los Angeles theater, and re-
vival of David Harum which was a
big success when first presented at this
house some time ago. These offerings,

new play. which will have its first
IL presentation on any stage at the
Auditorium tomorrow night, Miss For
ence Stone should find one of the nnest
roles of her stage experience. Kate Shah-
non is a big woman; woman whose
heart is filled with the abundance OF
mother love. The story moreover, Is
big story and Judging merely from a
c,ose appreciation of Mrs. Andrews work.
the play should prove a big success.
1t is not smart, this drama. It's char-
acters do not talk in epigrams Ihey are
tiesb and blood men and women and they
falk very like men and women talk IN
the ordinary affairs Of life.
The play is in four acts, OF whlch the
first is the longest. There Is a tremen-
dOdsly tense scene at the close Oh tue
third act. and throughout there is care
ful exposition of character. Apart from
the name roi the big character IN the
play is a Western senator who has peen
in love with Kate for years, but whose
owe meets with no answer from the Wo-
man. Frank Beamish is to have TINS
role, which will provide him with the
greatest opportunity of his local career.
] The play is essentially unmelodramauc.
II Is quiet in action and in dialogue and
n must be so played. Its appreciation
nerhaus. is not for the grounding but
its lesson is broad and its theme Is timely
deyeipped.
Perhaps Los Angels will have no more
important first night this season. There
can be no middle ground for Kate Shan-
nop." Either 1t will prove one OF the rev
very big successes or 1t viii fail out
right Tomorrow nights performance
should tell the tale. The proof of play
is not in it's reading but in its acting
However, the auspices are favorable, anc
those who have read the drama will be
much surprised if the opening perform
ance does not prove triumph both foi
Mrs. Andrews and for Miss Stone.

out here This is a modern society
drama. Then there will be, too, the first
presentation of "A Society Pilot" which
Mr.. Morosco is writing in collaboration
with DIR. G. w. Bachman, author of
..Under the Bear Flag" and other plays.
"Under the MistIetoe"
'sUnder the Mistletoe" has been written
for woman star, and IL it Is a success
here it probably will be presented in the
east by Grace George. The principal
character is what Is known professionally
as an "ingenue lead" and consequently
Miss Blanche Hall, who is at her ex-
cellent best in this sort of work, should
md the role much to her liking.
The story is that of an English girl OF
humble birth. To her comes a lover

of prominence since joining the Belasco
company.
BURBANK-Everythin is in readiness
at the Burbank theater for the big pro-
duction of Kyrle Bellows recent success
full starring vehicle "Raffles, the Amateur
Cracksman" and there are indications
that this will prove one of the most I'M
portant productions made at that play
house in some time. The success scored
with sherlock Holmes play along
the same lines, which ran two weeks ana
then another later on, is local theatrical
history, a fact that presages well Tor
"RaffIes." William Desmond will be seen
in the name part while Byron Beasley
will, play Captain Bedford, a role that
should afford this capable actor wide scope
for his art. "Raffles" has never before
been offered in a stock house anywhere,
nor has the play ever been presented at
less than syndicate prices. The regular
matinee performances will be given this
afternoon and next Saturday Out of town

stalled for the convenience of local
patrons.

should be the children Mecca this week
Buster himself will be seen in the person
of Master Rice, who played the part two
years ago at the Grand and who is just
thlrty-two inches tall, and though old
enough to escape the inquisition Of the
Humane society," Is thoroughly imbued
with the spirit of Outcault's cartoon
