MISS ZOE BARNETT

the Burbank about year ago, run
ming two weeks. 1t is announced,
however, that the present revival is
for one week only, Manager Morosco
having decided to follow 1t with the
first presentation on any Los Angeles
stage of 1.-THE Traitor" by Charles
Dixon and Claiming Pollock, play
sequel to "The Clansman."
Various members of the Burbank
company will introduce specialties in
"a Milk White Flag" and it is prom
ised that the songs will be both new
and attractive. Miss Blanche Hall in
the role of Pony Luce, in which she
made a decided hit last season, will
have a new kid" song; Charles Glib
lyn will offer two numbers and the
names of A. Byron Beasley, Henry
Stockbridge and Harry Mestayer also
appear upon the list. The regular
company will be augmented by corps
of sprightly and pretty vivandieres.
The cast will show only three
changes of Importance from that of a
year ago: Mr. Giblyn as the band
master, Steele Ayres, Mr.. Gilbert's as
sumption of the doctors role and Miss
Taylor's appearance as Aurora Luce,
the fascinating widow and mother of
the ubiquitous Fony William Des-
mond, A. Byron Beasley, John w. Bur-
ton, Willis Marks, Harry Mestayer,
Henry Stockbridge, H. S. Duffield,
Miss Margo Duffet and others will be
seen in their old roles
MAJESTIC-"Lo Lonesome Town." the
greatest success of the Kolb- Dill rep
ertoire, will be continued a second
week beginning tonight and including
the usual Wednesday and Saturday
matinees. This will be the final week
of the Kolb and Dill engagement. Co
medians and company will pack Sat-
urday night, June 10, and depart from
Los Angeles, bag and baggage. They
will have played here eight weeks,
their original engagement having been
extended a fortnight. The season of
the Teutonic trifiers has been the Most
profitable they ever have played here.
The scenes of Lonesome Town" are
laid in our own suburb of Watts. Res
idents of the district on the other end
of the Watts and local. car line thus
gain an opportunity to see themselves
as the late Judson c.. Brusie, musical
comedy librettist, saw them. Doubt
less the picture is scarcely recogniz-
able, but it's at least good -natured.
The fun of Lonesome Town" is by
no means confined to the unaided eff
forts of Kolb and Dill. The agile and
pictorially pleasing chorus is much in
evidence and the comedy provides
ample funmaking opportunities for
other members of the company, includ-
ing Ernest Van Pelt, Percy Bronson,
Sydney de Grey, Carlton Chase, Adele
Rafter, Marion Miller. Albert Duncan
and Harris Mcclure.
Among the song hits are Gee, but
This Is a Lonesome Town." I'm Run
ming After Nancy mission Bells"
big Chief Smoke" yankee Soldier
Boys" when the Moon Plays Peek
a-Boo." Just Some One" ",rhe Game
of Golf" $50 Long Bill" and THE
Land of Nicotine
GRAND-The Grand opera house
summer season of melodrama will be
inaugurated Sunday at the matinee
performance, with Lillian Mortimer's
mo Mother to Guide Her." This is
the story of. a brave young girl who
makes a successful battle against all
manner of obstacles. 1t is eminently
clean, and lively comedy and keen
love interest tempers its thrills.
The principal part, that of young
waif will afford Miss Alice Lewis a
capital chance. Miss Lewis for many
years was known to San Francisco
audiences as ''Baby Lewis" She was
George Webb, who has often appeared
with the Belasco theater company, will
play the hero. Others in the cast are
Harry Earl, George Field, Max Bloom,
Chester Stevens, John Mcdonald, Rich
ard Cox, Miss Grace Rauworth, Miss
Marjorie Dalton, Miss Annie Claire and
Mrs. Frank Frayne.
- The old scale of popular prices will
prevail during the summer season of
melodrama. These prices will range
from 10 to so cents for the night per-
formances and 10 and 25 cents for the
best seats at the Tuesday, Saturday
and Sunday matinees. Musical num-
bers will be given between the acts
by Miss Alice Lewis and Miss Blossom
Seeley. An innovation that seems
promising will be the giving away of a
lady's gold watch at every Tuesday
matinee.
