"The Eternal Three" which will be
| given It's premiere at the Burbank next
week and which Manager Mososco pur-
| poses making one of the dramatic
events of the year, will go into rehear-
! sal at the Burbank today. 1t would
| give a New York company a shock to
think of staging a new play within one
week of the first rehearsal, but stock
! companies work differently and that
is the reason that so many authors are
anxious for the opportunity of having
! their output staged in Los Angeles. At
the Burbank as finished performances
are given after only a week of study
as are usually given by companies out

shows absolutely the possibilities of the
production. If 1.-THE External Three"
bears out the optimistic expectations
of those interested it will create big
sensation.

"Zira" is regarded as affording an
actress with emotional talents vastly
