Taylor of the Royal Mussermuggers TO
be regarded as a hero, which his arrant
cowardice makes difficult for him to do.
His various adventures all nave
ludicrous examinations, and he is finally
successful in winning the hand Oh
Millicent Leroy, serving mald, anu
convincing her of his bravery. The plot
centers upon Chandra Nil, singing
girl, who under the care of her foster
father, Moolraj, is betrothed to an In
dian prince, but who is in love with
Lieut.. Jack Ormsby. The course OF
true love meets with the usual OBJ
stacles and setbacks, but is tnally
smoothed over through the efforts of
the valiant Private Taylor, who wins

Leon Bobbie Scott, a young journal
list; Walter Catlett, Moolraj, an idol
maker, juggler and marriage broker;
Josie Hart, Lady Angela Brabasham,
and 'Muggins" Davies, Millicent the
dashing little serving maid. The other
members of the cast will find plenty of
good work to do in the twenty-one
singing and speaking parts, while the
locale of the play allows opportunity
for beautiful stage pictures and Co.'S
tuning. The chorus will be seen in a
number of catchy songs.
LOS GELES-Containing varied
elements of amusement, the new bill
opening at the Los Angeles theater
with the usual matinee Monday, eX-
elusive of the new selection of comedy
motion pictures, includes six entirely
new acts headed by the Five Merry
McGregors. The Merry McGregors are
offering a novel Scotch singing act
called "A Breeze from Bonny Scot
land" in which they have scored over
the Sullivan & Considine circuit. 1t
gives the members of the cast an OPP
portunity for much concerted singing.
The company is composed of Miss
Terese Baldwin, Palmer Hines, Bruce
Smith, Will Rochacker and VIII Her
man, and special scenery is carried FOR
its presentation. Aida Woolcott and
her company will also appear on the
new bill in their screaming one-act

Buckleys trained dogs will be another
interesting feature. Fay Carranza,
who for her soprano voice has been

comedy skit entitled "A Mixed Affair.""

his original one-act comedies, but
something quite different from those

Alphin calls this bit of nonsense and

are funny, but are said to be logical
as well. Maude Rockwell, Blossom
Seeley, Flo Sherlock, Dave Morris,
Jules Mendel Harry Oaks, Richard
Kipling and Leonard Brisbane will be
seen in parts which have been especial
