ALCAZAR OFFERS
1.-THE PATRIOT
Golfers Stellar Comedy Given
Its First Production in
This City

"The Patriot" Willie Collier sue
cess that has never been presented on
the Pacific coast, is announced as the
Aleazars next offering, beginning to-
morrow. It served Collier as a star
ring vehicle IN New York and several
other eastern cities season before last.
and critics pronounced it one of the
best plays he has had. In its con-
struction Collier collaborated with j
Hartley Manners.
According to the plot, Sir Augustus
P1antagenet Armitage owns a possible
gold mine at Bullfrog. Nevs and when
the play opens he is attempting to
keep his employees at work by elo-
quence alone, his cash having been ex-
hausted and the mine being coy about
yielding treasure. Just as the unpaid
workmen are deciding to quit solicit
tor arrived from London with the in
fornaa tion that Sir Augustus has fallen
heir to vast fortune. The men agree
to remain on duty while he goes to
England to claim his wealth, but send
Pop" Strong and his bibulous wife to
see that their interests are not neg
lected. On arrival Sir Augustus en-
ploys a valet as a social mentor, and
then discovers that a condition of the
will demands his marrying Miss Nora
Berkshire. who. cares not at al for
him. His uncouth companions get on
the nerves of her aristocratic mother
and he takes advantage of the open
ing to express what he thinks of her
and his tyrannical valet. Then he re-
turns to Bullfrog, content to let the
fortune go. The miners welcome him
back to what has turned out to be a
valuable property. He has come to
realize that the reason he could not
marry Nora was because he loved Nell
and of course, he marries her and
presumably lives in bliss instead OF
Bullfrog thereafter.
Thurston Hall will be seen as Sir
Augustus, the part created by Collier;
Bessie Barriscale as Nell. Lucile Culver
as Nora, Louis Bennison ,as Pop
Strong, Adele Belgarde as his wife,
Howard Hickman as the valet-mentor
Burt wesner as a negro, Grace Bar
bour as a negress. Will R. Walling as
the mine foreman, Victory Bateman as
Nora's mother, Walter Belasco as an
Indian, Mrs. Byer as a squaw and
Charles Gum as the British solicitor.
