The Theaters

TTy HE eyes of every theatergoer in
Los Angeles and the eyes of the
Il entire theatrical world will be
upon the Belasco theater Monday
night, when Lewis S. Stone and the
Belasco theater company viii produce
for the first time on any stage George
Broadhurst's newest play THE Gar
den of Lies The production Monday
night In a measure will determine
whether Lewis S. Stone will remain a
local stock favorite or will go to New
York and there enter the stellar ranks.
"The Garden of Lies" is a romantic
drama, and was written by Mr. Broad
hurst because he believes next season
will see a return Of the romantic plays.
He clans that there is just as much
"style' in the drama as there Is IN
almost anything Of today. Two sea-
sons ago to be Gin STYLE a play had
as the basis of it's story something or
capital or of graft. Hence we MAD
such plays as Mr.. Broadhurst's Man
of the Hour" Charles Kleins THE
Lion and the Mouse" and several 9TH
ers dealing with practically the same
situation.
Working on the idea that romantic
plays are again to come INTO vogue MI
Broadhurst has taken time by the fore
lock and prepared THE Garden OF
Lies" Several important theatrical
managers will come to Los Angeles
next week to view Broadhursts Work.
Among them will be William A. Brady,
who is to produce the piece in New
York city next fall.
"Merely Mary Ann" will continue at
the Burbank theater for a second week
beginning next Sunday matinee. The
continuance, at this particular time OF
the year. usually accounted the dull
est week of the entire year in the
theaters, constitutes a remarkable trlD-
ute to the artistry of Miss Marjorie
Ranbeau. Oliver MOrOscos new ana
talented young leading woman who, IN
the name part of the sympathetlc
Zangwill comedy, has won all hearts
by her delightful acting and who thus
has made the run possible. The Bur-
hank has been filled at every perfor-
nance since Miss Rambeau's debut.
This can mean only one thing, that the
newcomer has made good in phenom-
email fashion. However, the credit Is
not all hers, for the Burbank company
as a whole appears to excellent ad-
vantage in this delightful play, es-
pecially clever work being done by
A. Byron Beasley as Lancelot, the
impecunious composer for whom Mary
Ann, merely, conceives an innocent at
tachment while polishing his boots.
THE Lion and the Mouse" in which
Miss Rambeau will play Shirley Ross
more, has been postponed until week
after next.
Full dress and scenic rehearsals for
the production of Carmen" will com
mence at the Grand opera house TINS

further TO extend the Orpheum tour on

Fred Lindsay, the whip artist now
