terest which attaches to "The Rose of
the Rancho' of early California days
is not the least Of its attractions. The
early Spanish settlers were a pic
turesque people, and Mr.. Belasco
has endesvored to portray many OF the
most interesting customs. Their natural
distrust of the Americans who have
annexed them, fostered by the wrongs
which they have suffered at the hands
of unscrupulous land agents, is made
the basis Of very pretty story, which
is given with stage effects that run
riot in a profusion # palms, flowers,
orange trees and luXuriant semi-tropl-
cal foliage Of California.
There is much in the play sceDcally,
and Mr.. Mack has promised a produc-
tion surprising any ever given by a
stock company of this play.
Mr.. Belasco founded the play upon
incidents in the carly history of Cali
fornia. He laid his scenes among the
old missions and in the quaint Spanish
customs of the period, the middle of
the last century, gave him what he
loved most. an opportunity for stage
display. He has gone to unusual
length delIneating life in old Cali
fornia. Mr.. Mack has left no stone I'M
turned to make the forthcoming pro-
duction As near 10 what the author
describes as is possible The company
surrounding Mr.. Mack and Miss Ram
beau is probably the best adapted
TO this particular play that has been
assembled in this city. Mr. Mack will
portray Kearney, and to those who last
saw him in this role, comment is un.
necessary. Miss Rambeau has the role
of Jnanita, and in her hands a most
delightful performance may be cx-
pected. The other parts are in cap.

SENDS 100000 CIRCULARS

BOSTON. April 24.-The search for
Albion Davis Pike. Of Lubeo, Me-,
whose disappearance from Cambridge
on March 10, 1907. while he was a
junior at Harvard University, was
shrouded in deep mystery, has been
renewed vigorously.
The young mans dropping from
sight has so preyed on the mind OF his
father, B. M. Pike, that he has become
almost a wreck. So deter
mined has he been to learn the where
abouts of his son that 100000 circulars
have been distributed throughout the
civilized world, all bearing the picture
and an accurate description Of the
missing student.
When he disappeared Pike was within
a few months OF being 81 years old.
