BELASCO-Owing to the unusually
heavy demand for seats for "The
| Price" George Broadhurst's newest
and best drama, the Belasco manage
ment has decided to offer this play for
third week. This will be the last
week of the play which has set all
Los Angeles to talking, before it is
sent to New York for an early presen-
tation there.
"The Price, has been the dramatic
sensation of the year. Mr.. Broad
hurst's treatment of the sex question
| is so unusual, so true to life, that crit
les of all kinds who have seen the
play are loud in their praise of the
brilliant authors work. THE Price"
undoubtedly will bring Mr.. Broadhurst
a rich reward, for he has already been
! offered fortune for the rights to it.
! IT was the intention Of the Relaseo
management to withdraw 1.-THE Price"
with the performance tonight, but re-
quests from hundreds of persons who
| have been unable to secure seats at
the past performances caused Manager
Blackwood to change his mind. '"The
|
week with the usual Saturday, Sun
day and Thursday matinees. Immedt-
ately after the close of 1.-THE Price,"
George M. Cohan's success, "Forty-five
| Minutes from Broadway" will be Of
fered by the Belasco players and aug
| mented cast.
BURBANK-For the first time out
side of New York city, '"The Barrier
| will be seen at the Burbank theater
for the week beginning with the matt
nee today. This is a dramatization by
Eugene Presby of Rex Beach's most
popular, and greatest story of the
| Alaskan gold camps, which he knows
as does no other author.
"The Barrier" deals with the love
story of a young United States army
officer, of aristocratic lineage, who Is
stationed in the Yukon territory, and
young girl who has lived all her life
| in the north. There is a great social
| barrier between them, and one of the
| interesting studies of the play is the
way the fine social distinctions are
carried out even in that far from civil
lization district.
All the quaint characters of the far
north are represented in the play. and
there is a rich vein of comedy through
out. The miners who have been for
tunate, those who have kept on the
|
appointment. and the denizens of the
trading posts are all pictured faith
fully by Rex Beach.
A. Byron Beasley will be seen in the
cast again in 'Fhe Barrier" having
been absent for several weeks. Miss

ferent role from any she has previous
ly played at the Burbank as the
