ALCAzAR STAGES
RACFTRACk PLAY
"Blue Grass" to Be Produced
for the First Time in
Stock Theater

Blue Grass has been pronounced by
many critics to be the best play that
ever was written around a horse race.
It will be the Alcazar's offering tomor-
row night. The piece enjoyed an ex-
tended run in Broadway, New York,
last year and Frederic Belasco of the
local playhouse in Sutter street was the
first manager to secure the play for a
stock theater. Paul Armstrong, author
OF 'Salomy Jane" and "The Heir to the
Hoorah,' is the author of Blue Grass"
The scenes of the drama are laid in
Kentucky. In every racing play it is
inevitable that a. certain horse will
win. The exfgencies of plot and in
terest determine that it shall. In spite
of this fundamental rule laid down for
racing dramas, Armstrong has built his
play so well, 1t is said, that although
his mare Blue Grass, wins long
before the final settings of the
play, he keeps interest in his plot
at fine tension until the drop of the
final curtain.
All of the Alcazar favorites and many
supernumeraries will be in the produc-
tion, which. it is promised will be a
scenically splendid one.

bats. will make their first appearance

tience can do with eats, as the Circus
is mainly devoted TO the evolutions
of canary bird haters.

gagements of Ray l.. Royce, the Bless
ings. Mcdonald and Huntington and
