The Burbank's revival of "Pudd'n-

LITTLE remains to be said regarding
the remarkable run of 1.-THE Girl of the
Golden West" at the Belasco. Tomof-
row night this play enters upon It's
sixth week at that house-a record not
only for Los Angeles but for any city
of similar size the country over. Ine
success can be explained first on ac-
count of the merit of the melodrama

One Of the unfortunate surprises Of
the current season developed at the
Mason last week when Francis Wilson
presented his excellently humorous
farce "When Knights Were Bold be-
fore a monotonous succession of small
but enthusiastic" audiences. Nothing
funnier than this farce has been seen
here this year. Moreover it was well
acted but for some reason or other it
failed to attract the patronage that its
obvious merit demanded. Wilson had
not been seen here for more than ten
years. Seemingly he had been for
gotten.
