Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-05

Frederick Warde, one of the most
capable and brainiest actors who ever
trod the boards, is tired of the lecture
game and wants to get back into the
footlights' glare. He is planning TO
join James O'Neil and Louis James in
grand revival of Julius Caesar" Al
though nothing final has been arranged
it is conceded the organization will be
on the road In another six months or
less, all of which will delight hundreds
Of thousands of playgoers who know
the abilities Of the three stars and who
will welcome with dollars and applause
anything they do.
1t would be worth going a long way
to see James as Brutus, Warde as
Cassius and O'Neil as Antony. Carp
ing critics would desist a moment in
wailing over the decadence of the mod
ern drama and devote columns to laud-
ing such an organization.
Here's hoping there is more than idle
talk in the report!
Prices at the Burbank theater are to
be raised, according to announcement
just made by Oliver Morosco. Begin
ming with the initial production of
Cameo Kirby" one week from next
Monday, the first ten rows in the or
chestra will be 75 cents, instead of So
will be so cents instead of 25 cents, as
in the past, at night At matinee per-
formances the first ten rows of the
orchestra will be so cents. All other
seats will remain at the same prices
for night and matinee performances as
in the past Manager Morosco says that
the high class and novelty of the plays
he purposes giving in the future neces-
state the increased charge. The raise
in prices will not be effective until
Cameo Kirby is presented.
Speaking of cameo Kirby" brings to
mind the fact that May Buckley, the
echo of whose wrecked matrimonial eX-
perience was heard yesterday in the
San Francisco divorce courts, was last
seen in Los Angeles with Dustin Far
mum in that play Miss Buckley is a
charming actress and lovely woman,
but she does not seem able to make
marriage a success, judging from some
of her experiences.
The Mason opera house will be dark
during the coming week. Some sort of
an attraction was booked, but Manager
Wyatt learned it was not up to stand
ard, so cancelled it straightway.
Marie Cahill, who will appear next at
the Mason in 1.-THE Boys and Betty" is
not exactly q man-hater, but she re-
fuses to have men in her chorus. Miss
Cahill says chorus men are clumsy and
out Of place on the stage. She once
had the temerity to dismiss all male
members of her chorus with the advice
that they get jobs at pick and shovel
work. The cause was not hatred of
men but love of gowns, for one of the
chorus men happened to step on Miss
CahilTs train and ruined the said
gown. Damage, $500. Result, no more
chorus men in Cahill companies.
When Mrs. Leslie Garter was here re-
Gently she expressed a hope that she
would soon be back in the land of sun
shine and flowers. 1t begins to look as
though her hope will be realized.
Word has just come from New York
that Mrs. Carter will close her season
in May and will then come to Los An
geles, where she will organize COM
pany to play coast cities and towns for
a summer season. Only a few mem
bers of the company will be brought
from New York. The others will be
engaged locally. Mrs. Carter plans a
