| AUDITORIUM-Thos who remem-
ber the Pollards in years gone by, when
as children they delighted audiences
| with their clever rendering of light
! opera, will find an added pleasure in
seeing some of the adults-the grown
| ups''-the former stars of the big ju-
venuile production, in the best of all
comic operas, THE Mikado," which
will be given an elaborate revival by
the National-Pollard opera company
at the Auditorium the entire week of
October 3, with Saturday matinee.
Eva Pollard will be the Yum Yum,
Alfred Pollard will appear as Ko-Ko
and Jack Pollard as the Mil1ado.
BELASCO-Lewis S. Stone and his
| associates of the Belasco Theater COM
pany will this week offer Clyde Fitch's
comedy success, Girls" This will be
the first production of the play by any
stock company, and the presentation
is made by special arrangement with
the Messrs. Shubert.
Girls" is a happily conceived and
eXpertly told story of a trio of young
girls who form a we-will-never-marry
club. These men haters have their
habitat in an apartment house, and not
even the janitor is permitted to in
| wade the spot. However, one night
! young man, in an endeaVor to eXtricate
himself from a peculiarly trying and
exciting situation, rushes into the room
occupied by the girls, and from that
point on the young women commence
to look upon a man as a different sort
of an animal, until in the last act the
man in-chief is made to confess
that she really loves the young man
who has made his appearance in the
early part of the play under such un-
usual circumstances. The entire play
is a sort of a three-ringed Tanning of
the Shrew'' proposition, although
neither of the girls is quite a Kath-
crime.
Lewis S. Stone will be seen as Edgar
Holt, the hero of the play and the
part will afford the head of the Be
lasco company some fine chances Tor
the very sort of stage work his ad-
mirers like to see him do The three
girls will be played by Eve Kelly
Helene Sullivan and Emma Lowry
while Adele harrington will be very
much at home in the part of Lucille
Purcele, an elocutionist who does not
entertain the same dislike for man
kind that do the trio of heroines;
Frank Camp, Richard Vivian, Ida
Lewis, James K. Applebee, Charles
Giblyn, Herbert Rawlinson, Richard
of the Belasco company will be con-
cerned in the performance of Girls"
Following the Fitch comedy, the Be
! lasco company will offer George M.
! Cohan's musical play, Fifty Miles
from Boston"
BURBANK-George Du Maurier's
great story, "Trilby," will be presented
to the Burbank patrons this week in
dramtaized form. with Marjorie Ram
beau in the title part and A. Byron
Beasley as the arch-monster, Svengali.
Miss Rambeau has been enjoying a rest
| this week after her strenuous labors in
salvation Nell" and in '"Trilby" she
will have a role admirably fitted to her
! talents. Trilby, it will be remembered,
was a beautiful artists model in the
| QUARTER Latin. She and a young art
list, Little Billie fall in love, but Sven
gall, a musician with hypnotic powers,
spirits the girl away and under the
| influence of his suggestion she becomes
| the sensation of the world as singer.
She remains under his spell for several
years, until at last, coming face to face
| with her old sweetheart, the spell is
one of the greatest opportunities for
powerful acting he has ever had in
| Los Angeles. His art never has dis
played the maturity he has evidenced In
! the past few weeks, and this should
prove the climax of his achievements.
In addition to the principal charac-
| ters, there is a great brotherhood of in
! teresting people in this play. The Laird,
Taffy, Zu-Zu and all the men and
women Of the wonderful community
