LyteII- Vaughan Company Gives
Strong Presentation of
Somber Drama

The Yellow Ticket" a story of Pet
rograd and the Russian secret police,
was staged by 1he Lytell-y Vaughan
Company last night as the weekend
bill at the Biiou theater.
The cast in the order of their first
appearance:
Margery Seaton. an English GIRL.

John Seaton, her father. !. $1,000.
Charles Elder

.... Ethelbert d. Hales

Monsieur Zoubatoff, aid to the chief
of the 0krana" secret police.
Henry Simmer
In this drama the LytellVaughan
players have swung far over from
the farcical mirth of Nearly Married
and almost as far from the melodra-
matte but essentially humorous "Sev-
en- Keys to Baldpate." THE Yellow
Ticket is gloomy, gripping, tensely-
keyed story of Russian Jewess per-
secuted as are the members of her
race by the Russian police, forced to
accept the yellow bit Of pasteboard-
token Of a life OF shame-in order
that, under the Russian regulations,
she may travel freely from place to
place upon an errand not of vice but
of daughtersy love and care.
Three characters stand high above
all others in this story-the Jewess,
Marya Varenka, played by Miss Eve
Ign Vaughan; Julian Rolfe. American
newspaper man, who, while in Petro-
grad as a correspondent for his New
York paper, falls in love with Marya,
the role being taken by Bert Lytell;
and Baron Stephan Audrey, chief of
the "Okrafaa" or secret police, and in
this Ethelbert D. Hales is the domin.
ant figure of the grim, depressing
story.
No offering the Lytell Vaughan
Company has put before the theater-
goers here has been better acted in
every role than this one. Few equal
the strength. repression and keen
character delineation this affords.
1t is the villain, the powerful, cyni.
cal, courteous, ruthless. polished and
lustful Baron Stepan who wins majo.
honors in this play. Mr.. Hales' work
is as keen and driving as a stiletto.
Save for tendency to Anglicize lis
words, his part of thu dialogue is
handled with the highest intelligence.

DIR. RAMEAU Is
FORCEFUL PLAY

Or. Rameau,' a photo-drama with
a decided punch, continues the big at
traction at the Hawaii theater, where
offerings that border on the melodra-
matte always meet with instant favor.
DIR. Rameau" is highly dramatic and
at the same time it carries a tender
love story.
The Fox Film Corporation has sent
a number of strong bills to the Hawaii
theater and 'Dr. Rameau'' is Fox
leader.
Frederick Perry, one of the most
successful stars of recent years, is
seen in the leading and name part.
DR.. Rameau reveres the memory OF
his dead wife and lives largely in the
past, notwithstanding the fact that
he is the most successful physician
and surgeon in all France. With the
memory of his wife, the love Of his
child and his profession, he is content

Wild NAN HERO
OF THIS DRAMA

One Of the best representations seen
on local stage or screen IN long
time is Antonio Moreno's portrayal
of the half-civilized man on The
Island of Regeneration, in the pic
turization of Cyrus Townsend Brady's
novel of that name, now appearing at
the National theater.
It probably is given to but few per-
sons to see in the flesh an individual
whose life has been spent in solitude
so deep that he knows nothing Of his
fellow man, yet it is not difficult to
imagine how such a one would act.
Moreno's characterization leaves moth
ing to be desired. His wide, wonder
filled eyes, his simplicity of habit
and the very manner of his walk are
those of man who has been ma
rooned since early childhood on q
lonely island and has come into con-
tact with civilization for the first
time
A San Francisco society woman who
has renounced the conventions Of the
modern world is cast on to the island
with this simple-souled fellow. The
resultant romance, with its spectacu.
lar episodes Of the earthquake and the
rescue of the couple by cruiser, is
unusual and most interesting.
Some sensational horseback riding
feats, worthy of the California rodeo
or the worlds championship broncho.
busting contests at Cheyenne or in
eastern Oregon are shown in the
! thFee-reel Selig drama, Pals in Blue. :
This is a narrative of early days in the
West. and includes one of the most
spectacular battles between pioneers
and red men that has been seen on q
local screen in a long time.

WASHINGTON, d. G., May a.
Secretary McAdoo yesterday issued a
financial statement showing that less

This surplus over the estimates,
says the statement, is due to the in
