The Theaters


Manager Bovyer can this week boast
that Sullivan and Considine have sent
him what is the best bill of Vaude-
vile acts so far presented at the Los
Angeles theater. The particular nov
city Is Seere Nord, the little Engllsh
diving girl She is not as large as AM
nette Kellerman, but is q beautlIul
type of the finely developed athletlc
woman. At her entrance she makes
little speech, after which she prances
merrily to her position hlgh on tnc
springboard amid a most picturesque
setting. She is graceful in every Iloge,
but her back dive and particularly tne
neck dive show her slender lines to
most advantage. She is chic and mas
a winning personality. When she steps
out of the water and makes her little
bow high UP on the edge Of the tank
with full light and her shining SILK
cult clinging to her, she is as pretty
q picture as one could imagine. Her
act is a splendid one and she does IL
without the usual unnecessary amount
of stage play that mar an act OF thls
kind
one of the most essential things Of
vaudeville entertainment is plenty or
fun and lots of laughs and all OF these
are furnished by Hickey's comedy cir
Gus.
other entertaining acts on the bill
is Iora, who gives an interesting cal
culating exhibition; Alfred Jackson
who is entertaining with his fast pos
ter drawing, and Marie FitZglDpoh,
who amuses her audience for htteen
minutes with catchy songs ana stofles'
Sis in Service" is a travesty OF the

talents of both Roberts and tulton'

provoking a goodly amount Of mlrth.
oliver Morosco received a letter from
David Belasco yesterday regarding tne
proposed coast tour of sweet hllty
Belialrs" under the direction of the
Morosco- -Belasco enterprises Whlch
makes it exceedingly doubtful whether
that plan can be carried out. Messrs.
Morosco and Frederic Belasco Joined
in asking the eastern head of the
Belasco family for royalty terms In
coast territory. Today's letter
however, explains that Sweet Kitty
Bellairs" probably will be revived at
the Belasco-Stuyvesant theater, New
York, early next fall, with an all-star
cast, in which event 1t vii be at once
withdrawn not only from possible road
presentation, but from stock COM
panies as well. 1t is likely therefore
! that the Burbank's production will be
the last the famous comedy will have
| for several months. The play has
packed the spacious Burbank theater
ever since it's opening. and there is no
apparent lessening Of its popularity
the figures for the second week so far
surprising even those for the first
Miss Frances Nordstrom in the name
role A. Byron Beasley as Lord Verney
and others of the augmented Burbank
| company are giving a thoroughly de-
| lightful performance of the play, while
the production. as heretofore pointed
out in The Herald, is one of the best,
if not the best, ever made in Los An
geles.
The first matinee performance of
"The Red Mill" will be given at the
Majestic theater this afternoon. Bert
O. Swor and Franker Woods, together
with the cute little Dutch kiddies,
carry off the honors Of the production,
which is proving highly popular with
Majestic patrons.
"The Right of Way" company ran
afoul of the Southern Pacific time
table last week, and while the COM
pany arrived in San Luis Obispo in
time for the evening performance, the
| scenery and costumes did not. This
did not prevent their opening, however,
the play being presented with such
scenery as the local theater could pro-
vide, and the actors, with one excep-
tion, appearing in street attire. ]. j.
Kennedy, who plays the cure, borrowed
robes from the San Luis Obispo mis-
sion and was the only actor on the
stage who costumed his part.
1.-THE Right of Way" comes to the
Majestic theater next week, with Hal
lett Thompson. P. Aug. Anderson and
Miss Arleen Hackett in its leading
roles. Seats go on sale tomorrow
morning.
Lat nights performance of "The
Man of the Hour" was packed to the
doors by members of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, who secured the
| Belasco for their annual benefit under
the auspices of the general relief COM
mittee. Hon. Grove L. Johnson, grand
master of the Independent Order of
| Odd Fellows in the state Of California,
was loudly applauded for his speech
which he delivered between the acts
of the play on the objects of the order
and its benefits.
The Belasco company, that, has
been rehearsing what Happened to
JONES'" under the personal direction of
the author Mr. Broadhurst, now has
the parts letter perfect and the pro-
duction is in complete readiness for
the opening next Monday night
d
1.-THE Roundup" with Maclyn Ar
buckle, Klaw e. Erlanger's production
of Edmund Days play will be seen at
the Mason for five nights beginning
Tuesday evening. The company is a
| large and able one and there are gen.
uine western cavalrymen, cowboys,
Mexican vaqueros, Apache Indians and
twenty COW ponies from Arizona cattle
| ranges. The locale of the scenes is
southwestern Arizona before the ad-
vent of wire fences and during the
period when General Cook was chas-
| ing Conchise and his braves into the
reservation at Fort Grant. In the bat
tie scene sixteen mounted Indians rise
along a torturous path at the edge of
q precipice, attack two wanderers in the
desert and are then routed by detach-
ment headed by "Slim Hoover" the
sheriff.
