CONAN MUSICAL SHOW
PUT ON AT MAJESTIC

FIFTY Miles from Boston,, when
came to the Majestic last night, is even
farther from probability, especially al
its second act climax. A postoffice Is
conveniently consumed to solve diff
cult situation in which the heroine
finds herself owing to the embezzlement
of her brother and the terrorizing tao
tics of rejected sutton who threatens
exposure unless she weds him. So the
postoffice is burned down to foil the
Villain. OF course this coup de grace
also shields a scoundrel, but he has
pretty sister, which in musical melo-
drama makes all the difference in the
world.
The Conan humor. which percolates
through this unplausible groundwork
of plot is clear and bright. There are
several good character representations
those of Richard Bartlett, Edwin Bel
den, Grace King and Laura Bennett
deserving special praise. In addition
the work of Frank Buoman, Dan Bruce
Edward O'Connor, May Maurice and
Helen Young was acceptable, and the
minor roles, including willing chorus
were adequately filled.
There are several snappy songs, the
familiar "Harrigan" and "a Small
Town Gal" being perhaps the brightest
The acton is lively enough and the
lines occasionally witty. The net total
effect is that Of harmless, enjoyable

The extra players whooped and yelled
like genuine colleglans. Mr.. Beasley
sang his ballad in the second act in a
good sound voice and with expression.
The general varsity atmosphere made

suaded us, for the moment of the over
sentimental thesis of the playwright.

IN HE eleventh annual exhibition of
the work of Southern California
Il artists, which has been occupying
the Blanchard galleries during the
month Of October, closed Saturday
October 30, and will be followed by the
second annual exhibition of the Paint
ers' club opening with a private view
this evening. 1t was a matter
of disappointment that some OF
our strongest painters were not rep
resented in the opening exhibition OF
the year. but most of these Will snow
one or more canVases with the Paint
ers' club. Carl Oscar Borg has just re-
turned from the north, where he was
commissioned by Mrs. Hearst TO make
a painting of Mount Shasta, ana II Is
hoped that several of his recent can
vases will be shown. William Wendt
was occupied with an exhibition of his
work at santa Barbara early in Octo-
her, but has now returned and Will TINS
year, as he did last, add much to the
showing made by the Painters club.
Several changes have been made dur
ing the month in the print room at the
Blanchard galleries, number of most
artistic photographs by Louis Flecken-
some very interesting reliefs from a
frieze executed by A. Stirling Calder
have been added to the sculptures
shown.
Ralph Mocfne, whose landscapes were
a feature of the exhibition which has
Just closed, will hold a one-man exhi-
bition of his work at the Blanchard
galleries during the first two weeks OF
December. Mr.. Mocine has devoted the
past summer to painting out of doors,
making his headquarters at picturesque
San Pedro, and a number of these re-
cent paintings viii be shown, and 1t is
hoped some of his European studies
will be included in the collection.
Another one-man exhibition to be
held at the Blanchard galleries in the
near future is that of the paintings OF
Jack Stark, whose Wrok is entirely new
to Los Angeles art lovers, as he has
only recently arrived from Paris.
