"ROAD TO MANDALAY"
GIVEN AT LOS ANGELES

At the Los Angeles theater this
week w. c. Farnsworth and Miss
Della Stacey present a briefly dra-
matized version of Rudyard Kipling's
"On the Road to Mandalay." Mr..
Farnsworth sings the verses and Miss
Stacey enacts the role of the Burma
dancing girl who forgot her idols when
she was kissed ION the road to Man
dalay." The costume worn is pictur-
esque> and is an exact reproduction of
the Burma dancing girls garb. The
feet and limbs are bare. A yellow
skirt falls half way below the knee
The bodice, cut low, is of heavier ma
terial. Miss Stacey does the dance
very well. She is a blonde. however
and even in her black wig it is some
what of a strain upon the imagination
to regard her as a Burmese, the white
ness of her skin betraying her. There
is nothing Objectionable either in the
dance itself or in the costuming. The
dance comes at the close of an act
during which Mr.. Farnsworth sings
several songs in a sweet tenor voice,
and Miss Stacey sings also, displaying
a number of elaborate costumes,
among them of course the inevitable
directoire.
Hill and Sylviani present sensa-
tional bicycle and unicycle act, the
man performing with ease apparently
impossible feats awheel with the
woman perched securely upon his
shoulders In this position they de-
scend fight of stairs, mounted only

tion pictures complete a good bill.

SQUADRON OF HORSES
TO BE IN "CLANSMAN"

Horses have helped to make the for
tunes of several plays, and they figure
conspicuously in 1.-THE Clansnan,
Thomas Dixon's drama which Los An
geles will see for the first time the
week of November 80 at the Mason
opera house. Without it's equine actors
the play of the reconstruction days
would lose half its hold over the popu-
lar imagination. The graceful, high
strung animals make perfect the 1llu-
sion of the Ku Klux Khan, a secret or
ganization of night riders in 1S67-69,
composed chiefly of Confederate ex-
caValrymen.
1t is a small squadron of cavalry
horses that 1.-The Clansman" carries en-
tour. Each horse can "act out" as the
occasion requires. Any ordinary nag
would bolt at sight of the weird Ku
Klux costumes or the ghostly white
shrouds and face pieces in which the
equine bunch is arrayed.
These well trained animals stand per-
fectly still even while the stage is filled
with cries and gunshots and the con-
fused noise of men and women running
to and fro. Then at the quiet COM
mand of their riders, without whip or
spur, they dash at wild gallop across
the stage and around the scenes, stop
ping abruptly at the order to halt. 1t
is a thrilling moment in the show, and
when the animals trot out of the wings
again to acknowledge the encores there
is salvo after salvo of applause.
Erlanger, the leader of the horse
squadron, was named after Abraham
Erlanger, the head of the theatrical
syndicate. He entered the show bust
ness as the right-hand wheeler of the
chariot race in Ben Hur." Erlanger
has a knack of breaking in the equine
newcomers just as if he were human
Rarey instead of a quadruped. He puts
all the novices through their PAGES,
nips them sharply with his teeth when
they swerve to left or right, and always
takes the spotlight himself as his right
full due The past summer Erlangcr
had heaps of fun with a bunch of
equine rockies from the government
reservation at FL Reno, Okla, leading
the drills for three months until Uncle
Sans ex-cavalry steeds became as
thoroughly habituated to the stage as
old-time Thespians.

PEER GYNT" THEME
UNFOLDS IN MUSIC

The name "Peer Gynt' has for years
meant to the public nothing beside an
exquisite suite of music. composed by
Edward Grieg, the Norwegian. 1t is
one of the most beautiful expressions
of musical genius.
The few of broader culture and in
formation knew the meaning of the
four heads to the divisions of the suite:
Morning" "Ase's DEATH" "Anitra's
Dance" and 1.-The Hall of the Noun
tain King" They knew Grieg had
found his inspiration in lofty poetic
drama by Henrik Ibsen, Peer Gynt"
by name, phases of which he trans
lated into his tone poem, and they
knew also of another, second suite
peer Gynt," by Grieg. with three di-
Visions "Ingrid's Plant" "Solveig' s
Song" and Peers Homecoming"
Richard Mansfield by his notable
achievement in producing Peer Gynt"
on the dramatic stage, where it had
been a stranger except for endowed
performances in a few royal theaters
of Europe, attracted renewed attention
to the peer Gynt" music, and since
Louis James has appeared in the great
play, every symphony and concert or
chestra in America has played the
Grieg music, in many instances the
rarely heard second suite.
Produced at Christiana
Ibsen did not believe when he wrote
his play that it would ever be acted.
The scenic difficulties were too over
whelming. But Grieg seized on the
hunor and pathos and fantasy of thu
great poem for his first suite. Then
the royal theater of Christiania decided
to attempt a production of the drama.
The scenes difficult of pictorial realiza-
ton were eliminated bodily. Louis
James presents in the Richard Mans
field version a third more than Ibsen
edited for acting. At Ibsen's behest,
Grieg wrote more Peer Gynt" music
and the second suite was the result.
All of Grieg's peer Gynt" music and
much other Norwegian characteristic
music is made conspicuous embroidery
of this elaborate production, which is
presented here in it's original Mansfield
ian entirety
The themes of all the music in peer
Gynt" have been gathered into an over
ture by Clarence Lucas, who arranged
the musical setting of the play, and
as the last strains of the overture die
away the choir of strings take up the
delicious strains of Morning" the tone

it is only in the mountains that he
can find free exercise for his fancy,
and the continued auto-suggestion of
his self delusion.
He is the apotheosis of vanity and
selfhshness and his lies and pretense
seem to subordinate every incident of
life to his over-powering egotism. He
is visited by the sDovre kings daugh-
ter, and through her makes the ac~
quaintance of the trolls. They offer to
slit his eyes, so that his illusions may
become real and that he may see things
as he has dreamed them to be, but he
refuses, clinging to his own self.
He travels and becomes a coSmo-
politan and man of the world. He be-
lieves that he has realized his dreams.
In conversation with four adventur-
ers on the African coast, he finds them
discussing the problem of the sphinx.
He sees in the sphinx a symbol of his
dream of GENERALIZATION; he tells them
that the sphinx is itself. They rob
him of his yacht and he is left an
outcast. He makes his way back to
Norway. The persistence of his ideal of
self-realization is shown in a ship
wreck seen where he pushes a COM
rade from the mast. At this time he
faces for the first time the realization
of death.
Broken down, aged, he returns to
hood. The years have given him moth
ing but this realized self. The button
molder-a Nemesis, appears to melt the
self down in his ladle. He finds Ase,
the sweetheart of his youth, who has
waited for him and in her, treasured
in her soul, he finds the real Peer
Gynt.
