FLORENCE ROBERTS
IS NOVELTY HIT
Engagement of Shubert Star Is
Proving a Big Success in
"The Transformation


Much theatrical interest is being di-
rected toward Florence Roberts and
her company at the Novelty theater,
where, as a Shubert star. the California
actress is appearing to large houses in
Rupert Hughes translation and adapta-
tion of a play from the French, The
Transformation"
The supporting company is excellent
and includes White Whittlesey, Maude
Granger Susanne siegel, Homer Miles
and other we'll known players.
The story of "The transformation
is an unusual and fascinating narra-
tive. In the first act the death of Co
linette is such compelling presenta-
ton that it would seem a difficult task
In play writing to add interest to the
subsequent scenes. but when the spirit
and soul as well as the bodily likeness
of Colinette are found in a woman of
the half world, and when she begins to
awaken under the influence of real
loXe, as exercised by Colnette's hus-
band, the story grips and holds and the
outcome is quite in accord with es-
theties and morals, and the play is a
big appeal to sentiment.
Gloria which is a new comedy by
James Bernard Fagan, is in preparation
to follow The Transformation" which
begins its second week tomorrow night.

LOVE is MOTIVE
OF POLITICAL PLAY
The Man of the Hour" Held for
Another Week at the AlCazar

The Man of the Hour will remain
another week at the Alcazar. This an
nouncement will occasion no surprise,
as the American play of love and poll
ties has made a deep impression with
theater goers and the demand for its
retention at the AlcaZar has been great.
Among the representations which
won distinct approval last week We're
those of John Ince as the fearless bat
youthful mayor of the graft ridden city;
VIII Il. Walling, as the bullying polit-
ical boss; Bert Wesner, as the droll
little alderman who upsets the big
fellows" calculations: Evelyn Vaughan,
as the practical minded miss who loves
the hero; Bessie Barriscale, as another
type of American gir1hood; Adele Bel
gards, IS the mayors mother. and F..
j.. Bennison, Edwin T. Emery, William
Garwood, Charles Dow Clark. Howard
Hickman, Herbert Farjeon, Walter Be
lasco, Charles Trowbridge and Gilbert
Woodland, in their respective character
portrayals. With such a cast a less in
teresting play than Broadhursts mas
terpiece could hardly fail to win favor
able comment. The staging is up to
the Alcazar standard. and serves in no
small degree to lend impressiveness to
the work of the actors.
For next week is announced a revival
of The Two Orphans" which was last
presented in San Francisco about eight
years go.
