THE Test" will be especially notable
| in that it will introduce as a regular
| member of the Belasco company, vi
ola Berry. a very beautiful young ac-
tress who has done some remarkably
| brilliant work with number of the
most important stars.
Following 1.-THE Test" Lewis S
! Stone and the Belasco company will
be seen in a revival of Clyde Fitchs
| play, THE Girl with the Green Eyes.
BURBANK-Not since 1.-The Vir-
| ginian" has there been a western play
in which there is so much of the true
virility of the plains as in Texas"
the offering at the Burbank for this
week. This piece is a story of ad-
! venture in the Lone Star state, as
its name implies, and the spirit of the
cowboy life is felt in every scene and
| line.
| The principal persons in the pay are
the men of the ranch and range
strong, self confident types of man
hood, ready at moments notice for
either a fight in a good cause or
frolic in any cause at all. And so
there is a great deal of comedy the
typical, broad fun of the open coun-
try. An English lord comes in for
good deal of the banter that is ever
ready for the tenderfoot, and there
is a girl from the far east, with all
her New York fnery, making very
bizarre figure against the alkali back
ground.
These are the incidental figures in
a very thrilling and interesting story
of the clash between rival interests
in the new country, where the building
of almost every mile of railroad
means a hand-to-hand struggle be-
| tween the corporations and the men
/ who do not want to be disturbed by
the encroachments of too much civil
/ ization. There is a love story too of
| course, adding a touch of heart in
terest to the tale of adventures
The entire Burbank company will
| be seen in this play Grace Trayers,
who has been i'll for several weeks,
has entirely recovered and will return
10 her accustomed place in the cast
/ A. Byron Beasey, Howard Scott,
David Hartford, David Landau, Peter
Lang, II. s. Duffield Willis Marks,

mon McGregor, Marjorie Ramheau.

will he seen in congenial roles.
GRAND Ferris Hartman and his
company, beginning with today matt
nee will give a big production of The
tlttCC BOY. rms !IeIlnB MUSIC, luL
and girl show served for two seasons
as starring vehicle for Frank Dan
iels and it proved one of the most
| substantial hits of Mr.. Hartman's en-
gagement al the Grand last season.
"The Office Boy" is three hours Of
fun of the riotous sort, In fact it could
almost he described as "a constant
giggle' from start to finish. The orig
ina score contains sixteen numbers
that have defied old father time and to
these Mr.. Hartman has added several
of the newest Broadway song hits
among them being the new Dublin
Rag"
In the coffee Boy" Ferris Hartman
has ample chances for genuine fun
making. As Noah Sittle, he is the typ
| ical office boy, who has been in this
| capacity for a number of years until
he has reached the stage where he very
often imagines he is a partner in the
firm and attempts 10 act as such when
his employers are absent.
While of course 1t is principally Fer
ris Hartman and Noah Sittle," II new
| erthcless offers many chances to the
principals Of the Grand company TO
display their individual talents. Myrtle
| Dingwall, Walter DeLeon, "Muggns'
| Davies, Josie Hart, Oliver senior, Rob-
ert Leonard, Marta Golden. every one
of the Hartman faVorites, will be
seen cast to excellent advantage.
