Charles Mack. in Come Back to Erin,

Charles Mack, in "Come Back to Erin"
In recent years there has been a
dearth on the local stage of the true
representative poetic Irish play that
was so popular in the days of the late
Irish minstrel and comedian, Billy
Scanlon, and it Is without gainsay
that the enormous percentage of the
Celtic race, and their descendants,
who have made America their home;
a true Irish play with a heart story
introducing true Irish scenes and
characters, with singing, dancing. mu-
sic, with Irish bagpipes and a spark
ling wit such as that Of Come Back to
Erin" introducing Charles B. Mack
and his company, which comes to the
Broadway theater on Saturday, Feb
ruary 6. matinee and night, should be
a happy welcome to this city
The story Of Come Back to Erin" is
one of international interest, as the
locale takes place near the lakes of
Killarney in Ireland and a military
post in Arizona.
Charles z. Mack. with his bagpipes,
singing and clever comedy is the life
of the performance, and with his ex-
ceptionally clever company and real
istic production, Come Back to Erin
should draw large audiences when it
comes to the Broadway theater on
Saturday, February 6, matinee and
night. Seats on sale at the box office,

are known by the excellence of their
productions and carefully selected sub
jects and "One of the Bravest" ranks
are Daughters Honesty, The Merry
Widow Waltz, Dearly Paid for Kiss
and Caught With the Goods.
The vaudeville numbers are well up
to the standard and the bill well bal

one Of the snappiest things in that
line that have been seen here and while

Music Is a Power for Good

whose possibilities are as yet
but little understood. Some
times. while under the spell
woven by the magic of some
great artist, we are conscious
of something within ourselves
which is struggling for ex-
preston, but is powerless to
free itself. This is the great
charm of music. This Is why
the real musician is honored
and loved. Los Angeles is
justly proud of her musicians
and places high on her roll of
honor the name of Oscar Sell
ing, the renowned pupil of
the famous Joachim. One be-
gins to understand the won
drous power of the violin in
the hands of such a master
as Selling. 1t is the Ian
guage of the soul, holding the
senses in wondering silence
while 1t speaks.
If there were more Settings
the world would be happier
and better.
