MAJESTIC THEATER-The is
small cause for surprise in the an
nouncement that Kolb and Dill will
continue The Politicians" for second
week at Hamburger's Majestic theater.
These popular comedians never have
here in so excellent comedy
as this one, which was selected as the
first Offering of their spring season in
Los Angeles. The piece has kept
audiences laughing all week, and in
deed, the Majestic has been too small
to hold the crowds that have wanted
to see it and Kolb and Dill in 1t. The
many persons who have been unable to
secure seats to date will have their
turn later, however, and doubtless will

The musical season at the Majestic
could scarcely have opened under more
favorable auspices, nor have better
prospects for continued success.
BELASCO THGATER-Los Angeles
theatergoers will have just one more
week in which to see George Broad
bursts phenomenal successful play
THE Dollar Mark" The piece will
enter upon it's ninth consecutive week
tomorrow night at the Belasco theater.
1.-THE Girl of the Golden Vest was
given for eight weeks at the Belasco

theater is so emphatic in his declara-
ton that this will be the last week of
