SrOunQ, making an interesting COIA-
trast, and throwing the comedy into
stronger relief. The bashful youths
partner in a mining deal has sworn
him to secrecy in regard to the To-
cation of an enormously rich discovery
of gold, which proves to be the prop
| erty of the young woman who was
| Caught in the rain" This brings the
shy youth into still more embarrassing
complications, and the fun wakes fast
and furious, the serious part of the
| play being we'll subordinated.
Harmon McGregor, the young juve-
nile of the Burbank company who made
such a hit with his first appearance
in THE Country Boy" will play the
Collier role. The entire Burbank COM
pany will enter into the spirit of the
| laugh-maker, including Marjorie Ram
beau, Myrtle Vane, Ethel Won Waldron,
| David Hartford, David Landau, Louise
Royce, Edward Ewald, Jack Belgrave,
Fred Gilbert, Willis Marks, and all the
rest.
| GRAND-Wade Mountfortt's famous
racing melodrama, 1.-THE Missourians,
will serge as the attraction of the
| Girton stock company for one week
commencing with the usual matinee on
Sunday. This should be one of the
best productions of the melodramatiC
season, it being a pulsating, virile
play, depicting life in rural Missouri
| in the seventies.
In more than one way "The Mis-
sourians" might be called an atmos-
| pheric melOdrama, for much of the
| plays charm lies in the faithful OBJ
servance of the detail of that peculiar
cult known as Southern" 1t has a
| strong logical plot, genuine heart in
terest, abundant comedy, powerful sit
| uations and cleVerly drawn and really
| oIi TT iS known
| racing drama by reason of the great
race scene in the fourth act, but the
| racing interest Is always subordinate TO
| the strong dramatic, not to say tragic
| element which dominates the action.
In short, it is melodrama of the OLD
| school, being constructed much on III Lile
| order of I'm Old Kentucky" and The
| County Fair" and in the east II has
proved equally as popular as either OF
these sterling plays.
George Webb will make his first ap-
| pearance as leading man of the Glrton
| company in the role of Clay Glrardeau,
which will allow him excellent oppor-
tunities for some fine setting. NeVa
| West will have the best role since her
coming to the Grand, playing Agnes
| Benton, the heroine of this interest
ing story. The piece contains many
| clean cut characters to be found IN
| everyday life, and these Will AFFORD
the other members of the company
ample chance to display their talents.
| LEVY'S-It will come as a welcome
| announcement to those lovers of music
during the hurried luncheon hour TO
know that by special arrangement MT
Kammermeyer and mis- men will give
| each week day a II o'clock program OF
popular and semi i-classical numbers.
| The usual order will be followed, how
ever, during the dinner and after the
| theater hour of the vaudeville.
| 1t is not often that such excellent
| Individual voices are found in travel
| ing trio as those in the Florence trio
| now singing at Levys. In the ensem-
| BILE numbers which are sung in cos
tune and are usually operate selec-
tions the voices blend excellently, while
the solo work of both baritone and
| tenor surpassed the most sanguine eX-
! pectations of even the management
| last week and more than pleased the
! patrons. For the coming week they
| have new costumes and different songs.
The second group of artists, the Ma
tkarenko troupe, are attracting wide
spread attention through their fantas-
| tic dancing and folk songs of Russia.
| Each one of the members of this
| troupe are ever on the alert to pick
UP new novelties in connection with
| their act and present as a result one OF
| the best attractions yet seen dl Levy D
The two single artists for the COM
| ing week will be Miss jeanette Young,
who presents new popular songs with
several of the better known old-fash-
ioned ballads, while the new face will
be Miss Kitty Stevens, whose charac-
ter dancing has won for her scores OF
followers on the coast this summer.
Her work in the east is well and favor
ably known as she was for number
of seasons a popular member of the
Keith circuit.
LOS ANGELES-A pretentiously
staged equestrian exhibition presented
by Nine. Bodini with her beautiful
Arabian thoroughbreds, Don" and
| "Bealmo." will be the unusual and ar
| tistic feature of the new Sullivan and
Considine bill of seven new acts open
| ing at the Los Angeles theater with
the usual matinee on Monday.
Nine. Bedini has won high praise IN
| both Europe and America for her Won
derful horsemanship, and her appear
ance will no doubt arouse much en-
| thusiasm among local lovers of fine
| horses and clever horsemanship. Both
| of her horses are blue ribbon winners
and only recently took first prize at
Portland during the recent festival.
Both are remarkably well trained and
are put through an exhibition that has
never before been seen on a Vaude-
