Girl of the Golden West

"THE GIRL OF THE GOLDEN
West" has an almost unrivaled
stage history.
Produced first by David Belasco. it's
author, as a starring vehicle for
Blanche Bates. it attracted such wide
attention that Puccini, composer of
Madam Butterfly" adapted the vivid
tale to operate form. In the mean
time the play was novelized and at
tanned a wide library circulation. 1t
now comes to the screen in a new
form as an Edwin Carewe production
for First National Seldom has a single
work exerted it's appeal to so wide
and so varied a public
The stage premiere of "The Girl Of
the Golden West" like many other
Belasco first nights, was celebrated at
the Bella SEQ Theater in this city. Miss
Bates, of course, was cast as ''the
girl" who ran the Polka saloon and
dance hall in the rugged hills of the
west during the gold rush days of '49.
Robert T. Haines was the picturesque
bandit caballero, Ramerrez, and

James Willard Schultz, full

work is what we are after rather than

America s Passion PLAY.

THE famous Passion Play" of
Oberammergau has its counter
part in America, and all the way
across this great continent a sincere
and pleasant-faced little woman
came to bring the message. She had
little to say of herself save that her
name is NJ A. Crofts. that her pro-
fession is that of a nurse, and that
she is an earnest admIrer of Mrs.
Christian Wetherill Stevenson of
Philadelphia. now deceased, VINO
founded what is called The Pilgrim
age Play" in which, in dramatic
form, the life of Christ as taken
from the gospels of Matthew, Mark.
Luke and John, is regularly staged
annually in the hills near Hollywood,
Calf, and whose players suomerge
their names in the great cause which
they hope to serve IN the presenta-
ton of the play.

Land Studying all the places asso-
ciated with the life of Christ and
she brought back many of the cos
tunes with which to cloIhe the
characters of the play. 1t Is said
she gave her life to the cause. and
even that she died from the effects
of her strenuous service.
Her aim was simply to show how
Christ lived and what he taught as
established by Holy Writ. There is
nothing sectarian or commercial IN
the enterprise. which was the life
work of Mrs. Stevenson.
Miss Crofts also modestly ventures
the suggestion that this is but an
other of the limitless testimonials
that Hollywood is not the place that
sensational writer's in the cas-. have
painted it.
THE Pilgrimage Play" unfolds the
whole life of Christ as known, IN
cluding the star of Bethlehem, the
visit of the wise men, the manger
where the Babe was born, scenes in
the temple. "on the way to Jerusa-

the three quartets-the Harvard,

a word or two.
Some six years in the dignified
city of Boston-the hub of the uni
verse-these three Quartets were
formed, each unit in itself. The
members of the Harvard four were
unacquainted with the members of
the Pilgrim and Weber groups. Each
unit set out upon it's own career
Each was purely local. And the MEM
bers of all of them were either lovers
of fine music or vocal teachers who
found it interesting to employ their
leisure in the interest and advance

tivity for each of the three quartets.

greatest appreciation, and so all
there was left to do was to extend
praise-in equal parts-to all con-

to a great idea, an idea which was
