time possessing some merit The ex-
cellent showing made by the Owen

of their act. Florence Pendleton & Co.

comedy and good dramatic work. The

in this piece also, and this will be his
last appearance in Los Angeles this
year.
The Majestic theater is dark this
week and next, as Miss Virginia Har-
ned has made such a hit in San Fran
cisco at the Alcazar that she has been
kept there for an additional time. She
will open here July II in her delightful
comedy, IAN American Widow aprO-
pos of which the san Francisco critics
have discovered that her true bent is
comedy, after all, and not tragedy or
emotional drama. Los Angeles will
have an opportunity to judge as to
this later, as she will give the best
pieces of her repertoire here.
Harmon MacGergor, who will succeed
Harry Mestayer in the Burbank stock
company after this week, arrived in
Los Angeles Saturday and is staying
at the Alexandria. Mr.. MacGregOr
comes direct from the Teck theater
in Buffalo where he played in the
stock company which is headed by
Miss Maude FealY and James Durkin.
He is a young man of prepOssessine
appearance and will have splendid
opportunity in his opening role at the
Burbank in "The Country Boy in
which he will impersonate a ticket
speculator. OF this comedy part Ed
gar Selwyn says it is so good that he
himself refuses to star in the play, as
he is afraid the leading part is not
very much stronger than the other.

in order to insure the quickest method
of receiving the most complete news
of this battle a direct private wire OF

two operators will be on hand. one to
receive the bulletins and another to
read them to the audience describing
the fight blow for blow.
Besides Kara, there are several other

Los ANGELES GIRLS TO
PLAY WITH MRS. FIsKE
Miss Leila Bliss Cast for Becky
Sharp" and HiIda in "The
Pillars of Society"

To Miss Leila Bliss, beautiful Los
Angeles girl who is well known in So
ciety circles of the city, belongs the
honor of having been chosen by Mrs.
Fiske to play the difficult parts of the
duchess in Becky Sharp" and Hilda
in 1.-The Pillars of Society"
Mrs Fiske is noted for the care with
which she casts her plays, she being
her own stage director and exercising
complete supervision in the prepara-
tion of all of her plays for presenta-
tion.
Both of the parts which Miss Bliss
has been selected to essay are recog-
nized by close students of the drama
as requiring unusual ability in their
Interpretation. The character por-
trayal of the part of the duchess is es-
becially trying, and the part of Hilda
in 1.-THE Pillars of Society demands
much as does the least of the figures
in the dramas of Ibsen. An extreme
compliment to the power of Miss Bliss
has been expressed by Mrs. Fiske.
Miss Bliss is the daughter of Mrs.
Alice M. Bliss. Her home has been in
Los Angeles for many years, and she
has a host of friends who rejoice at
the recognition of her accomplish
ments. She has a temperament and
physique which insure her the success
predicted for her by artists and critics
Miss Edith Scott, another charming
Los Angeles girl, is also in the cast OF
thse two plays. Kind comment upon
her work has been made by all who
have seen her in the Mrs. Fiske COM
pany, and she is acknowledged to give
promise of becoming one of those who
shall establish the claim Of Los An
geles to the title in the theatrical world
of 1.-The home of stars"

THE COUN7ERFEITERS"
PROVES REAL THRILLER
MeIodrama at Grand Is Typical
Play that Makes Audience
Show Its Enthusiasm

When it comes to the real old melO-
drama-understand the type of melo-
drama that only a few years ago was
enjoying prosperity in every part of
this country, THE Counterfeiters' is
a triumph. The piece opened yester-
day to two big and enthusiastic houses
at the Grand and the sensational and
exciting situations of this thriller made
the audience get up and make as much
noise as a Sunday afternoon bleacher
crowd does when one of Hen Berry s
ball tossers plants q home run way
over the fence in perslmmon tree
So far this season We have had two
melodramas at the Grand one "A
Ragged Hero" a rather stirring pro-
duction; second, Lost River" one Of
those ''polite" pieces with an over
abundance of heart INTEREST," think
that's the Word-and nOW-nOW, The
Counterfeiters, one of the class that
leaves the other two at the post and
wins in walk.
1t is good to see n real" melOdrama,
for you don't have to think-it's all
pointed out to you--and for action
1.-THE Counterfeiters" is in class by
itself of course, the story is of the
poor orphan who is the victim of un-
relenting hate. She interfereS with
the marriage plans of the Tiger-he S
the boss of the gang-and is cOnse-
QuGllly luIIltu OllI III LllS SNANO1' NAAiiN
the hero is accused of robbery and
murder. From this good start in the
first act an interesting bunch" of
events develops in rapid succession un-
til the hero's good name is cleared, he
marries the orphan and the Tiger
goes off to Jail with the rest of his
crooks
The play is interesting from start to
finish and ran very smoothly yester-
day afternoon. 1t is due much to the
fact that Mr.. GirtOns company plays
the situations in all seriousness that
is making his productions a success.
The work of the company yesterday
was uniformly good. Miss Vests play
ing of Edith Norwood won the sym
pathy of her audience from the very
start, and Ray Clements as John
Earle is an ideal hero From the re-
ception he received yesterday he is
very much liked by Grand patrons.
Chester Stevens is a capital "heavy,"
in fact so convincing that he was Sc
verely hissed when he was forced to
take his curtain call after the third
act. Gertrude Claire, as usual, con-
tributes fine character drawing, and
the others were satisfactory through
out.
The play has good comedy, good sit
uations and the kind Of sensational
climaxes that drew many curtain calls
after each act.
The second and last week Of "Pierre
of the Plains" with Richard Bennett
in the title role, began at the Burbank
yesterday with two more crowded
houses such as this great play has
been drawing ever since opening a
week ago. Combining as it does pic
turesque western color with intensity
of action and deeply interesting char
acter studies, pierre Of the Plains"
makes about the strongest possible APP
peal to playgoers in general. Benefits
impersonation of the romantic soldier
of fortune is one of the cleverest de
lineations this popular actor has ever
given.

newest play, will be given on the Bur

the room, where he lay unconscious. He
was removed to the receiving hospital
but no treatment was administered
there, as he had recovered conscious

Dean, in using the phone, stood on
a wet space on the floor and placed
one hand over the wires leading to the
instrument.
