BELASCO-"The Alarm Clock. .

Avery Hopwoods 1.-The Alarm
Clock" was produced last Sunday
night for a weeks engagement that
was designed to be the climax of
George MarshalFs spring and summer
season at the Belasco Theater. The
comedy proved such great success,
however, that Marshall has been
forced to arrange by. telegraph with
the Messrs. Shubert for an additional
week. beginning tonight and ending
next Saturday evening.
These seven days, 1t is said, cut into
the regular fall and winter season at
the Belasco. and thus give The
Alarm Clock" the prestige of both
ending the old theatrical year and be-
ginning the new one tonight.
AS a matter of cold statistics. the
box Office receipts at the Belasco this
week have been equalled only once
during the year just ended, and. Curl
ously enough, it was a Hopwood play
Also .-.
Without detracting from the credit
due Mr.. Hopwood, 1t is only fair to
say that a large percentage of the
triumph achieved by The Alarm

"Icebound" Coming.

A HIGHLY interesting announce
ment for the coming season is
that Sam H. Harris production of
Owen Davis Pulitzer prize play, Ice
bound" will be seen in this city dur
ing the coming season.
This play, which has been called
"a warmhearted play for cold heart
ed people," ran for $50 nights at the
Sam III. Harris Theater. in New York,
and was generally claimed as being
most capably acted. 1t is significant
that two other plays staged by Sam
II. Harris last season should also be
accepted as faultless in play and
playing, to wit: Jeanne Eagles. in
Rain" and Margaret Lawrence, in
Secrets"
The locale of cebound" is rural
New England village. The play opens
in the home of an 'icebound' New
England family. They have gath
cred in expectancy of the death of
the mother. Chief interest centers in
the probable legatees and the play
starts when it is discovered that the
entire family is cut off and the estate
left to a poor relative" who has
been the dead woman's constant COM
panion. But there is a secret letter
which accompanies this bequest, a
letter known only to the beneficiary,
letter which is virtually a trust
to redeem a ne'er-do-w well son of the
dead woman. 1t is the regeneration
of this boy by the girl that forms
the basis of the story.
