Given With KeIcey and
Shannon as Stars

In these days of great variety OF
theatrical entertainment The Thief,
which comes 10 the Van Ness theater
tomorrow night for. & two weeks stay,
has held a prominent position for sew
ersl seasons. It is a drama that con-
Germs real men and real women-crea-
lures of flesh and blood-not pigments
of a capricious imagination or of a
fantastic psychology. Actual life sup=
plies sufficient truth and types of in
terestlng and diverting nature to chal-
lenge the powers of the true play
wright. and it is to these truths and
types that Bernstein, the great French
dramatist, has devoted himself in this
his masterpiece of stage work.
Bernstein has truly held the mirror
up 10 nature" in this play, The Thief,
and he has given the actor and the
actress tangible entities to portray. He
has not demanded that they character
ize impossible monstrosities or weak
lings or ahnormals. AS a result he has
turned out not only one of the best
plays Of modern times, but the most
popular He has managed TO combine
intrinsic merit with a direct and GER
tain appeal 10 the public, which is al
ways quick to recognize truth.
Herbert Kelcey and Effle Shannon
have been placed at the head of what
is said 10 be an excellent company by
Charles Frohman. and as both of the
leading players are San Francisco ia
vorites a profitable engagement is an
ticipated by the management of the
Van Ness and looked forward to by the
play going public.

POOR LITTLE GIRL
Turns BOHEMIAN
Merely Mary Ann" at Alcazar
Is Story of Ingenious Child
in New Environment

Merely Mary Ann which is to be
the Alcazars offering throughout the
coming week, was one of the most
emphatic successes scored in that the
ater last season, its hit being largely
due to the artistic acting of Evelyn
Vaughan in the title part. Israel
Zangwill wrote the play and Eleanor
Robson starred in it several seasons,
but she was no more impressive than
Belasco & Mayors clever leading
woman, who is again cast for the role.
Mary Ann is a country girl suddenly
placed in bohemia" She is open eyed
and eager at every experience. Her
mind and heart and soul are in a white
flame about everything. The story of
the play concerns her and one of the
dodgers, a young composer named
Launcelot. The audience never doubts
that she is a person of innate refine
ment and he a man of honor. The girl
is SO charmingly ingenious that those
who have watched her movements
throughout the play are made quite
happy by her elevation to wealth.
The dialogue sparkles with wit.
When the penniless composers land
lady gently reminds him of overdue
rent he gravely asks her if she can
give him change for a sonata in D
fat major" One of the women, an
impoverished aristocrat, peevishly in
quires, What is the good of being a
countess with nothing to count?"
In the cast with Miss Vaughan will
be John E. Ince, as Launceloy; Will R.
Walling, as a businessman among the
bohemians; Burt Wesner, as music
publisher; Louis Bennison, as country
vicar; Walter Belasco, as a Sunday
journalist; Charles Trowbridge, as a
medical student; William Garwood, as
an automobiling nobleman; Lillian Ell
lott, as a lodging house keeper; Bessie
Barriscale, as her daughter; Marie
Baker, as the impecunious peeress;
Ann Lockhardt as her friend; Grace
Travers, as a noblewoman, and Roy
Neill, as a footman.
