BURBANK-Eleanor Merron's rural
comedy-drama, The Dairy Farm" will
be the attraction at the Burbank the
alter during the week beginning with
matinee today Sunday and includ-
ing the regular Saturday matinee and
o special performance the afternoon of
Thanksgiving day. Rural plays are
popular with Burbank audiences, but
in recent months have been crowded
out by new dramas which Oliver Nor
osco has been offering. Now there is
to be a return to the freshness and
the simplicity of the bucolic drama,
if only for a week THE Dairy Farm
was last seen in Los Angeles a little
more than two years ago, when 1t was
played successfully at the Burbank.
The play was written by Eleanor Mer-
ron, actress as we'll as playwright, and
was used by her as starring Vehlcle
during several seasons. Its scenes are
laid in a little farming community in
upper New York, and It's period is the

paratorv to the great civil war and
when the gallant Fremont went down

novel Of the same name. will this week
be the vehicle for Lewis S. Stone and
the Belaseo theater company, begin

Many who have seen the play believe
its interest more intense than the
novel which has run through many
editions. I'm the Bishops Carriage"
tells the story of a young woman
