DRAMA OF SLUMS
HITS BIG TRUTH
Salvation Nell" Is Retained
at the Alcazar for Another
Week

Salvation Nell which is announced
mencing Monday evening, has scored
one of the most emphatic successes in
the annals of that house The univer-
sal appeal of the theme of the play, the
realistic setting with which it is in
vested by the Alcazar management and
power which the principal players have
brought to bear upon it combine to
make it a most memorable production.
1t interests the lover of realism. the
spectator on the alert for striking sit
uations. the man or woman who seeks
new vistas in drama, the sociologist alb
sorbed in the study of humanity's sub
merged fragment, the theologian who
sees in the struggle against degrade
ton the finger of a force greater than
mans or woman's, and the playgoer
who cares for a play for its own sake.
The success of its universally of ap-
peal lies in the truth of the picture it
presents.
In this great dramatic venture the
prestige of the Alcazar company is not

Angel OF the Trail was given in
New York about a year ago, where il
was an instant success. but il has never

long time friendship with Hall was the
principal means whereby the local man

lecturer. Wright Kramer, are promised
this season.
Immediately after their departure
from this city last year Holmes and
Kramer with big staff of photogra-
pliers went to Hawaii, then to Japan,
where they penetrated into hitherto un-
explored sections of Mysterious Nip
pom" thence into the wilds of Java,
and then across the wide Siberian
plateau until they came to Paris.
The lecture courses, of which there
will be three in San Francisco and
one in Oakland, at We Liberty play
house, are divided into five travelogues,
the first devoted to the trip from San
Francisco TO Hawaii. In this interest
ing travelogue a comparison is made
between the Hawaii of Is years ago.
when Burton Holmes first visited the
land, and the Hawaii Of today thriving
under the stars and stripes Fer the
first time a wonderful motion picture of
the great KiIauea in actual eruption
will be shown. Japan, the newest of
the world powers, is dealt with in two
travelogues, the first devoted to new
Japan and the second to old Japan.
Then comes Java, perhaps the most
interesting subject of the present
series, because its inhabitants and Gus
toms are least known to us, and lastly
the great dash across the Siberian
plains to Paris. the subject of the final
travelogue. The seat sale for course
tickets will begin tomorrow morning at
Sherman, Clay & Co.'S music store at
Suffer and Kearny streets, the tickets
for the individual traVelogues being
ready next Wednesday,.
