THEATRICAL NEWS

George Bernard Shaw's play, Arms
and the Man." is to be seen next season
as a comic opera. Oscar Strauss, com
poser of "A Waltz Dream" is working
on the music and the opera will be pre-
sented in this country by F. c. WHIT
ney. Mr.. Whitney had to pay big
price for the American rights he eX-
plains his decision thus:
1.-TWO worldwide known names like
Shaw and Straus are good enough TO
gamble on, anyway, and then remember
that Arms and the Man has been
ponular play for many years. The
story it tells and the situation 1t pre-
sents are admirably suit to musical
admiration. 1t is no experiment. The
combination is too big to be overlooked,
and if only from a notoriety point OF
view. it is bound to succeed. "A.
"Wbat will the musical edition of
Arms and the Man be called?" was
asked. ..,os

comic opera with chorus and ballets it
win be called Legs and the woman
david Relasco will introduce new
theatrical star under his management
next season. The latest Belasco find
Is Miss Florence Oakley, leading wo-
man with Paul McAllister's stock COM
pany, who has been attracting con-
siderable attention by her clever work
at Hurtig & Seamon's music haii' New
York. Mr.. Belasco witnessed MISS

a few nights ago and was so impressed
by her work as the heiress widow that

the house passed under the manage
ment of oliver Morosco, Mr. Giblyn
was light comedian of the Cummings
company, then playing at the Burbank
theater. Laura Nelson Hall, sister
of Blanche Hail. was leading woman
of the organization, and the play in
which MIR. Giblyn opened was the Fra
ser dramatization of THE Little Min
ister," subsequently outlawed by the
courts. Giblyn suffered a severe at
tack of rheumatism just before the
opening, but had to go on In his part,
as no one could be@found to play it.
Thus his first public appearance in our
City of the Angels was made in
wheel chair, from which he never once
arose during the entire performance.
1t is significant of American provin-
cial ostentation that nearly every
hamlet the country over boasts its
opera house." First comes the town
HALL, then the opera house and later, as
the town grows to cityhood, someone
builds a theater. The opera house,
however, remains. Here in Los An
geles we have two of them, the Mason
and the Grand. Both are improperly
named. The Mason presents opera only
at infrequent intervals and 1t has been

at the Los Angeles theater, then the
Hotchkiss about two years ago. Resi-
dents of Watts never forgave Mr. Bru-
sic for writing the piece. as Watts IS
the town to which reference is made
in the title. The comedy was built
around a song, the refrain of which
was Gee, but this is a lonesome town,
and was written especially for Kolb
and his rotund partner.
The Mason, by the way, though dark
this week, will conclude its season with
an unusually strong list of attractions.
Next week comes May Robson in THE
Rejuvenating of Aunt Mary" The
week following we are to see the
Henry Miller Associated Players in
1.-THE Servant in the House, with
Edythe Wynne Matthison in the cast.
After that come Kolb and Dill, while
the week of August II will bring
Henry Miller back from San Francisco.
Mr.. Miller, during his engagement here,
will present a revival of THE Only
Way and will give us a view of the
new Percy Mackaye comedy, Mater"
Moreover, he will bring us new lead
ing woman.

dent manager of the Belasco theater

he Immediately sought the young star
and signed a contract for her services.
Miss Oakley is only Is years old, and
will be the youngest star under the
Belasco management. She is prac-
tically unknown in the east, but is
pleasantly remembered by San Fran
cisco theater goers.
After fifteen months away from the
United States. in which time he and
his company made a professional tour
of Australia and New Zealand, Andrew
Mack has returned to New York.
With his company Mr.. Mack left San
Francisco for Australia in March, 1907,
and stopped for a performance of one
night in Honolulu. In Australia and
New Zealand, Mr. Mack said the bust
ness of the company was good. After
ending their engagements the other
members of the company returned
home, while Mr.. Mack Travelled west

in the orient and Europe

tract to open with the Lewis S. Stone
company at the Auditorium next fall.
Stone had left the city before this
rumor was born, but John Blackwood,
who is to manage the company, was
still here, and he declared WORD of
honor" that there was absolutely
nothing in it,
The other version had it that Miss
Stone is to succeed Blanche Hall at
the Burbank theater. In support of this
statement it was pointed out, imprimis,
that strict secrecy is being observed re-
garding the identity of the Burbank's
leading woman for rext season; sec
ondly, that Manager Morosco has
giving up the idea of going to New
York next month and that conse-
already have been secured.
With both Morosco and Montrose out
of reach, there seemed only one way to
settle this possibility. Consequently /
wired Dick Ferris at Minneapolis and
back came the answer: Absolutely
untrue. Contradict in every particular.
She will never play anywhere except
with Ferris stock company"
Thus, though the Burbank leading
woman probably has been chosen, the
name of Florence Stone will not appear
upon the Burbank programs next fall.
Another important booking was add
ed to the Wyatt list last week when
contracts were signed calling for the
appearance here of Kolb and Dill dur
ing the week of August 10. do not

cling to this meaningless ostentation is
a mystery. What is there about the
word "theater'' that gives them pause?

English term. "playhouse?' While the

Miss May Robson, who is now near
ing the close of her first starring sea-
son, will bring Anne Warmers com
edy, THE Regeneration of Aunt
Mary" to the Mason for an engage
ment of one week, beginning July ~.
The play was presented in New York
last winter, where Miss Robson was
highly praised for her acting in it's
leading role. 1t is a dramatization of
Mrs Warmers novelette,. published
originally in the Smart Set and subse-
uuently issued in book form. Aunt
Mary has a scapegrace nephew who
is continually getting himself into

York 1t is her first visit to the city
in thirty years, but she enjoys it all

makes the audience enjoy it as well.
The early fall season at the Mason
promises to bring to that house four OF
the biggest musical comedy successes
now current in the east. All four are
under one management, the Ask1n-
/ Singer company of Chicago, and all
four will be sent here with their or
iginal casts, costumes and scenery in
tact. The first of these shows, THE
Time, the Place and the Girl" opens
its season here early in September,
jumping direct from Chicago.
Following closely on its heels comes
"'The Girl Question" now playing a
highly successful summer season at
Wallack's theater, New York, and
which also will make a cross-continent
jump to this city. A little later on we
get. the "A Honeymoon Trail" now
playing in Chicago, and "A Stubborn
Cinderella" which also is meeting with
success in that city.
The fact that the Askin-Singer com
pany has in it's employ such we'll
known producers and stage directors
as George Marion, for many years gem
eral stage director for all of Henry w.
/ Savage's plays, and Ned Wayborn,
whose name has been identified with
many of the big operate and musical
comedy successes of the past ten years,
is ample guarantee that these musical
comedies will be presented with care
full attention to detail and with pleas
ing effect.
Manager Oliver Morosco of the Bur
bank theater, accompanied by Joseph
Montrose, the house press agent AMI
a friend, left last Tuesday for Cum
mings' ranch in the Tehachapi after
deer. They took with them an inn
posing arsenal and the usual weight OF
camping paraphernalia. and said they
| expected to be gone about a week. It's
little early yet for news from the
front, but when Joe gets back home
he'll have a story to tell that probably
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-07-19

while the fact that the scene is to be
continued this week seems to indicate
his confidence in his own Judgment.
The rumor rollers emerged from
their retirement last week and started
another one down the local rialto.
Florence Stone, they said, was to be-
come leading woman of a Los Angeles
stock company with which her hus-
band, Dick Ferris, would not be con-
nected. The date for her first appear
ance was given as September 1.
Naturally this rumor grew as it
rolled. Then 1t became somewhat
garbled and soon we had two versions,
each adorned with full circumstan-
TALLY and each declared to be founded
on inside information.
One story, naturally enough, credited
Miss Stone with having signed a con-

York, where .he expects to meet Mr..

which will support that player. Evil
IDENTIFY Blackwood expects to bring the
people back with him, as he took in
his pocket transportation for a party
of twenty between New York and Los
Angeles.

many years since the Grand housed an

PUBLIC EXECUTIONS.

Out Of the comment on the first hang
ing in the state Of Oklahoma (and the
Miami man was not the first who should
have given his life for crime against So
ciety) may be aroused a public sentiment
against county executions that win allow
the state to take a position among those
where the taking Of life is not exposed to
tbs prattling children in the streets. The
sheriff Of Miami county was not even
given a jan in which to keep his prisoner.
and the scaiold was much like the old
cattle chutes in a country killing yard Of
the village butcher theshumane sheriff and
assistants preventing the people congre-
gated about the streets from seeing the
actual execution Of the unfortunate whose
life was taken by process Of law only By
exercise of extraordinary ingenuity in
stockade construction.
At the penal Institutions many Of the
states have been able to reduce the crime
Of legal execution to the lowest possible
place for horror. and at least the neigh
bors and friends Of the one killed are not
subjected to the additional horror Of know.
