AIDES COMEDY IS
VALENCIA SUCCESS
"The College Widow" DiscIOses
Stars and Support to
Fine Advantage

The laughs have been so many at the
valencia theater this last week and
public approval has been so overwhelm-
ingly favorable that The College
Widow has been retained for still an
other week. This. the second, will also
be the last week during which to see
what the critics and the public have de-
clared is the best production of George
Ade's comedy ever presented in San
Francisco.
Those who love clean wholesome and
wltty comedy. with broad shouldered
Americanism stamped all over 1t. will
not fall to appreciate George Ade's mas
terpiece. The College Widow" Time
does not dim the luster of this comedy,
and familiarity with ii is a delight 1t
is fresh and clear, like a morning in
spring, and IL is free from vulgarity and
onen5e. There is not a single character
type in the play that is not drawn true

Bub' Hicks; w. T. Sheehan as Matty
MCGOWAN the trainer; Helen Lackaye
as Flora Virgins, the inimitable come
dlenne, are some of the principals who
are achieving great success in their
roles. Miss Lackayes makeup is splen-
cid in its comedy elements, but no bet
ter than her subtle impersonation of the
character. Grace Travers makes a hit
as she athletic girl. and Antoinette
Crawford is charming in her smaller
part. Darrell Standing. Thomas Me-
Larnie. Gerald Harcourt. Reginald
Travers and Robert Leonard are Others

duction Is an unequivocal success.

BELASCO'S DRAMA
AT THE ALCAzAR
"The Girl of the Golden Vest
Retained for Another
Week, at Least

Another week of "The Girl of the
Golden West" begins next Monday
evening at the Alcazar, with every in
dication that the drawing power of the
great Be1asco play has increased rather
than diminished since it's first presen-
tation. The duration of it's run has not
yet been decided, nor will it be until
there is radical change of public
opinion as to the interest Of the pro-
duction
1t is not so much in it's story as in
the atmospheric effects employed and
the brilliant acting of at least three
members of the Alcazar company that
The Girl of the Golden West" en-
thralls Indeed the narrative is little
more than a series of dramatic incl
dents in the career of the Girl. but
the clothing OF each incident with a
marvellous realism intensifies the gem
eral effect. while the individual and
team work" of Evelyn Vaughan as the
Girl. Bertram LyteE as the road agent
and win r.. Walling as the sheriff COM
pels admiring attention.
If fate had willed that Miss Vaughan
instead of Blanche Bates should create
the role of the Girl, Broadway would
now have another fayorite, for all who
have seen both actresses in the part
pronounce the Alcazar's young leading
woman more than equal to its every
exaetion. Lytell has never appeared to
better advantage than as the road
agent, because the role calls for the
virility which is his best forte, and
Walling's acting of Jack Rance Is
splendid. The rest of the characters
are minor ones. but all are portrayed
in a way that preserves the rough and
ready atmosphere which Belasco's g
marvellous stage craft has created,
IT is to be hoped that more attention
will be paid to the managerial request
about the seating of the audience be-
ers do much to spoil the effectiveness
of the beautiful panorama that opens
