NO SEAT AUCTION AT
MAJESTIC OPENING

Manager Morosco, lessee and manag-
er OF the new Hamburger's Majestic
theater, announces there will be no
auctioning off of the box seats and
other choice locations for the opening
performance of "The Land Of Nod
Monday evening, November %, but
that the entire rack of tickets will be
sold at the regular sale of seats at
the regular prices that are to remain
in effect throughout the complete sea-
son. On similar occasions it has been
customary to auction off the choice
seats for an opening performance of
a new theater and to boost the regular
scale of prices for the occasion from
pit to dome. This, Manager Morosco
states. will not be done at the Majestic
theater. The announcement also is
made that letters received before the
opening date will not be placed on file
until after the line at the box office
window has been disposed of, which,
it may be seen, will offer an equal OPP
portunity to every patron of the beau
tiful playhouce to secure the best To-
cations in the house being served in
the order of their position in the line.
New York Hits Secured
Manager Morosco has secured the
John Cort attractions for the Majestic
Los Angeles herald., 1908-11-15

during the last two days the demands
upon Mr.. Belasco have become so in
sistent that it has been decided TO
continue it another week. Scores OF
nlaygoers who assisted the Elks IN
their festival urged Mr.. Belasco to give
them an opportunity to see the touch
ing little tragedy, and the advance sale
of seats indicates that it will be played
to crowded houses.
Rarely has a play been so attractive
iy staged in Los Angeles as this one,
and it has beer admirably acted. Miss
Bernard showed dramatic talent which
was a revelation TO even those who
have watched her work most critical
ly. She is perfectly suited to the part.
The rich and picturesque setting, the
story of tender love and final heroism
is one that must appeal to all.
Miss e. Everharts japanese maid
also is extremely well played. Mr..
Glazier, Mr.. Van Buren, and the others
are good in their various parts.
The charming little stage comedy,
1.-THE Critic" from the hand of David
Belasco, brought up to date by Hobart
Bosworth, is almost as charming
feature as Madam Butterfly" The
former play comes first, and its laugh
able situations and playful humor will
put you in just the frame of mind to
enjoy Madam Butterfly The cast
includes everybody in the Belasco, and
you may see your favorite at disad-
vantage-for the play is a rehearsal of
an extremely bad tragedy.
BURBANK-With Miss Florence
Stone in the name part, and with every
Burbank theater favorite fittingly cast
Manager Morosco will offer an elabo-
rate revival of the ever welcome
"Zaza" for the week beginning with
matinee this afternoon. Judging from
the proportions of the advance sale,
more than usual interest attaches to
the Forthcoming production. There has
been much curiosity on the part of
Burbank patrons to see Miss Stone IN
this difficult role-a role, 1t would
SEEM which should offer unbounded
opportunities for the display of the
noted actress varied talents and ao-
knowledged emotional ability. Miss
Stone will have in support the COM
plete rank and file of favorites, and a
series of settings that should form an
admirable background for her efforts.
William Desmond will be the Ber-
nard Dufresne; John Burton. Cascart;
Byron Beasley, the tragedian, with
Henry Stockbridge, Harry Mestayer'
Willis Marks, Charles Giblyn and 9TH
ers admirably ensconCed in fitting roles'
Louise Royce will be the aunt to Zaza,
character that is said to be the most
artistic bit of work in the repertoire OF
this clever character woman.
Gilbert Gardner, whom Manager Mo-
rosco has engaged as stage director OF
the Burbank forces, will in 'Zaza'
offer his first production in this thea
ter Mr.. Gardner's reputation as dt-
rector embraces notable work in
number of the larger eastern cities, and

If one of them makes the least mis-

enough for a street band to play with

Your people are not so demonstra-

that am not trying to show off, but

ton of the brilliant musical extrava-
ganza, "The Land of Nod" said to be
the most remarkably popular play
since "Peter Pan"
Glowing press opinions come from
San Francisco, where the piece now is
enjoying capacity business, and Man
ager Morosco feels confident that in
the opening production "The Land OF
Nod" Majestic theater patrons may
form an accurate opinion of the char
acter of future offerings at the hand

opening week will begin Wednesday
morning at o'clock.
There may be two more disappointed
persons in Los Angeles today than

they'd be hard to find. Dicks disap-
pointed because he's missing a good

Blondelle because she's been Obliged

The play is called, "Tte Searchlight,

and virile style of acting for which he
is so we'll liked locally. Florence oak

only two women members of the COM
