AT THE LOS ANGELES THEATERS DO 'BLACK CROOK' WITHOUT BALLET v Think of It! "Black Crook" without the ballet! \ .-.-... Two fate-tempting producers, . Miller and Plohn, have seen flt to tamper with old traditions by substituting musical numbers for the premiere danseuse and her coryphees whom old timers used to see, but .now, alas, see no more. One can forgive "Uncle Tom's Cabin" with- out the Ice, but "Black Crook" without tiptoe dancers is too much. \ Testerday at the Grand the big aud- ience . realized that something was wrong. The hardened opera chair con- tingent saw the well . remembered shivery \u25a0 Brocken settings in the flrst act. Satan ; and the crafty magician were familiar enough. But where were the pirouetting fluffy-ruffllesses that made men lean forward ln their seats? The nearest approach was. a fairies' dance, ugaassswi i«eww*o'..- -.- Trick scenic features are made use of at every opportunity by the present company. The new "Black Crook" is full of surprises.; One never knows from which side a devil will come or go through walls and hidden doors. Patient, -. comical Greppo has a hard time through it all, courting his loved Carllne. \u25a0- ' y- The work of E. J. Wlllard as Hert- zog, the magician; J. Edward Pierce, as a versatile count, Satan and charac- ter singer; William C. Welp as Greppo, Bessie Browning as Carline and Marie Roalyn as Stalacta, the fairy queen, was very satisfactory to \u25a0 yesterday's audience; that of the other principals much less so. , The 'singing .and dancing chorus makes numerous changes in costumes, and though small numerically is well garbed and well trained. The masked ball scene permits the Introduction of a half dozen specialty turns, of which the "School Days" num- ber was best liked by the gallery... __, HUNTING FOR STOCKTON i.-;; ; WOMAN IN THIS Cl'iY Friends of Mrs. Alice Ross Are Trying to Find Her Through Former yy Denver Newspaper Hll;!: Writer fy\ , Inquiries are being made for Mrs. Alice Ross, formerly of 648 South Olive street, Los Angeles, by a 'former news- paper woman of Denver, now residing at 1414 West Eighth street.

IT IS a matter for regret that no playright has come forward to take the place made vacant by the death of Charles A. Hoyt. We have had writers of comedy who have surpassed him; writers of farce who have excelled film In wit and in the construction of lively situations; and we have had satirists of more sclntll- lant brilliancy, but there has been no one who has succeeded so well In be- ing both satirical and good natured at the same time. Perhaps George Ado comes" the nearest to fillingHoyt's shoes. His "Cocktail followes 1 the flag," in "The Sultan of Zulu," is quite in the Hoyt vein; but even Ade has hit upon no such conceit as the idea of a militia regiment with one private, 399 officers, a dozCn or so vl- vandlers and other picturesque, if de- cidedly unmllltary, servitors. The Hoyt wit carries no sting with it. Taken from a glass It needs no "chaser." Moreover, its shafts are aimed not against fads but against foibles. The fad flourishes its little time and is forgotten. The foible Is a part of human nature and remains. Therefore It follows that a Hoyt '"-re is quite as funny today as upon >c date of its writing, and doubtless It will be just as funny a hundred years hence. \u25a0•\u25a0 \u25a0 Laugh, Laugh, Laugh At the Burbank yesterday afternoon I watched closely to see whether the old lines and the old situations would get the same old laughs, and they did—all except one. When "A Milk White Flag" was! written the nation had passed from the "McGlnty" era of Its song history to "Comrades." Consequently every time the colonel of the regiment used the word "com- rades" Mr. Hoyt had his band and his chorus take up the air and play and sing It through.' At the time this was always good for a big laugh. Yester- day It evoked laughter from the old timers, but the newer generation of playgoers evidently didn't. appreciate the point. Had it been "Bedella" now, or even "The Merry Widow Waltz" but It wasn't. >; -'\u25a0-'. ; •'; \u25a0 The farce has ' been given an elab- orate production and has been ex- cellently cast. The regular Burbank forces are augmented by the addition of a chorus of i twenty—sixteen girls and four men, and this chorus consti- tutes one of the hits |of the revival. It's a versatile chorus, by the way. "Vtvandlers in, the first-act, show girls In act. two, and just chorus girls in the last act, arrayed In the frank cos- tumes of current day burlesque. Company Shows Versatility If for .no other reason—and there are many of them—"A Mjlk White Flag" would still be worth while as Il- lustrating the versatility of the Bur- bank company. . Even Desmond for- gets to be Desmond. The Verstwhile leading man is cast In a character role this week. He plays Plggot Luce and when he first came upon the stage yesterday .- afternoon * the K. audience didn't know him. Now the Sunday afternoon audience at the Burbank Is made up In \u25a0 large measure of young women who have worshipped long and adoringly »at - \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 the Desmond - shrine. Therefore ' their Inability- to recognize their idol Is a fine testimonial to > his makeup. t Of.- course, when he. spoke, the usual volley of applause was forth- coming, but 1 It was curiously delayed. Such a thing has not happened before at this' playhouse \u25a0 within the memory of the' oldest Burbank habitue. Blanche Hall,'this week, Is a singing, soubrette. She doesn't dance and she ought to jln \u25a0 order to > make the | char- acter complete/but she does sing and she makes a delightful picture In her soubrette ' costume. ,-\u25a0 A. > Byron Beasley plays Phil Graves, an undertaker, and he's lugubriously I funny N enough ( for anybody. John W. Burton Is the Na- poleonic t colonel; Willis '" Marks \u25a0 the hard-worked private and Henry Stock- bridge, the. majqr. ; y yf''': . ' Two New Song Hits . _ The » musical 1 numbers i include :. two new i -Montrose » songs, never before \u25a0 heard jln | public. One of: these, "My..*Yankee ? Sailor j Boy," is ; particu- larly :t timely as .it i.i Is fi dedicated S'.to "Bob" Evans' fleet,l now on I its -. war sto : i i i r _.iin_, J_hi-___i_--_i___,iiri_,_M_>_,n__liif Los Angeles. This Is sung by Miss Margo'Duffet and chorus amd Is most effectively worked up to a good cli- max. The melody la catchy— the audi- ence whistled It on leaving the theater —and the piece should become popu- lar. The other made-ln-Los Angeles number is "Cherokee." daintily sung by Blanche Hall _*id Maurel Bon- ardeau. * i'tv. Henry Stockbridge Is the chief war- bler of the company, however. Mr. Stockbridge flrst sings "It's a IDiffer- ent Girl Again," In which he ls as- sisted by the chorus. Next, with Blanche Hall, he sings Anna Held's "Will You Be My Teddy Bear;" then, "Good Night, My Little Daffodil," and Anally, "The Milk White Flag." The Teddy Bear song is excellently done. Its chorus, however, ls a frank steal from "Chlng-a-llng-a-ling." A. Byron Beasley also cuts Into the singing game with "Rain In the Face," sung here a few weeks ago by Frank Daniels. The house liked It so well that they wouldn't let Mr. Beasley go until he had exhausted all the verses he knew and had drifted Into another Bong ln response to applause that would not be denied. "A Milk White Flag" ought to run a fortnight at least. Go to see It. It's a bargain at the price. . See the lead- ing man as the leading woman's fond papa; see Stockbridge try to look like a Teddy bear, and see that chorus. MARGO DUFFET, Who sings "My Yankee Sailor.

"'-'\u25a0;' " '\u25a0 . \u25a0-' PASSING out \u25a0 of the Los Angeles theater last night the house man- ager stopped me at the door and introduced r.-.e to a Dr. Throop, who, he said, is one of the city chemists. "We have just succeeded'ln convinc- ing the doctor," he added, "that the Gingerbread Man compile fully with all the pure food laws, both national and local." The "doctor" assured me this I was true. I am somewhat skeptical, ' though, not regarding the quality of the bake shop product, but about that "doctor." He talked with a Pennsyl- vania accent, his eyes had the Phila- delphia droop and he didn't look like a man with enough political pull to hold office under the present administration. However, this is no disparagement upon "The Gingerbread Man," which is gingery enough, crisp enough and nice- ly enough baked for any palate. ', It would be difficult to call "The Gingerbread Man" to book because the "book" in question scarcely rises to the | dignity of a pamphlet. There Is even less to it than to the costumes of the chorus, but what there Is serves nicely and, by the same token, so do the chorus costumes. V SIDLE LAWRENCE There are many good lines in the I book, some of them written at the time the piece was constructed, some several years before, and a few since. And there are a number of unusually clever lyrics. The music is good; much bet- ter than the average and, fortunately, It Is sung by people who can and do sing. y, , -.. yyy. -. Here' are a few of the observations scattered through the dialogue: A Few Gingersnaps '."'Tis } better to have loved a short Wan than never to have loved a tall." "It Isn't always flattery that turns a .woman's head; sometimes it's perox- ide." "Laugh and the world laughs with , you; snore and you sleep alone." "Don't cry over spilt milk, Remem- ber the cows have to make a living." ' "A nickel in the hand is worth two in the slot machine." "Faint - heart ' never filled a spade flush." And these two nonsense verses: "Mary had a little lamb. ' . She placed It on a shelf, And every time It wagged its tall It spanked its little self.", ,y ... '' 'Twas little Miss Mabel "Who sat at a table ' yyy:. In a down town cafe. The lobster beside her, : §Por the supper inside her, j-; I.Had $22 to pay." Music Is Catchy Eh There are many good musical num- bers ln this piece. Most of the music has a lilting, tinkling quality—the sort ; of thing you carry home with you and try out on the piano— it is not com- monplace. None- of the airs Is reminis- cent. Perhaps those that will be most : pleasantly remembered are "Beautiful t Land of Bon * Bon," - "Mazle," "John I Dough,".. "Springtime," "Moon, I Moon, I Moon," and a topical song, "Old Rame- I ses." '\u25a0 There are also several flne en- semble numbers and part songs which *. won't ibe ; remembered so easily. The J. moon song has been effectively staged, - though practically the same device was used here no longer ago than last week In "The Blue Moon." >\u25a0's As for the company, I have little hes- I itation ln saying that these gingerbread -men and women. make up the best bal- i anced organization of the kind we havo had in Los Angeles this season.,, There ;IsJ nt i star. v s Consequently, there is ;no exasperating subordination, a, no ,; un- necessary I effacement« ; of i opportunity for i ability ito [ show . itself. _ The com- ! pany boasts ;a -; triumvirate »• of« come- dians and a'good one.'.' Fred J. .Nice Is !, the "Gingerbread .T Man," y the "> "John i Dough" of his ecng. , He was here last iin "The ; Wizard .of , Oz," and, his gro- : tesquerles. first | displayed in {that cx- i travaganza, stand _ him. in . good J stead i today. -Jf As Jan I eccentric dancer Nice jhas | few .. equals—at | least ':\u25a0 few .of ! them [get this far west— his voice is Just , sufficient I to 5 carry _ a % topical , song j to i rousing X success. « Then '_ there's g Rosa I Snow ias Wondrous I Wise, whom _we wouldn't have otherwise | wegp we | con- sulted In the matter; and James Mc- i Klbcrn, whose fairy queen lis J a night- j mare, both 9in ! appearance and Iacting, feGarrlck j Major,_. who was fa ; big fa- vorite here when the Los ngeles theater was known as the Casino, returns In the role of Fudge, a dealer in black srt, second-hand curses and evil omens. Mr. Carrlck's voice has good opportuni- ties in two flne numbers, and he sings them in a way that calls for the Inter- vention of the light man to cut off tho applause. Mable Day is Mazle Bon Bon. She Is a little woman with a big voice, par- ticularly sweet in Its upper register, end her songs, with those of Mr. Major, proved the musical treat of the even- ing. Evelyn Frances Kellogg sang Jack Homer fairly well and acted the role excellently. Miss Kellogg, by the way, ls one of the handsomest women seen upon the local stage ln a long time. As for the chorus. It sings better than any chorus we have heard in months In light opera or musical comedy. You won't have to' take opera glasses either. You can find the pretty girls without t'n#m. They are not so scarce as to re- quire that aid to a search. One of tha girls—she's number two of the fairies— looks enough like Florence Stone to b3, one of the family. ! "The Gingerbread Man" is presented with somewhat shabby scenery, and a few of the costumes have seen belter nights. It is, however, by far and away the best thing of Its kind the Los An- geles theater ever has presented. ... Marie Corelli's love story of far Nor- way, "Thelma," will hold the attention of Auditorium audiences this week, be- ginning tonight, and judging from the advance sale, It will prove one of til* best patronized plays of the fast wan- ing Ferris season. Thousands have read and wept over the Corelll novel, and thousands have wished that they might see depicted on the stage the struggles and sufferings and final tri- umphs of Thelma and her admirer. Hence, the play ought to prove a jrime favorite with Auditorium audi- ences. The scenes give ample chance lor stage effects of surpassing beauty, and the Ferris liberality In this regard doubtless will be maintained. A num- ber of extra players have been engaged. Including Fanchon Everhart, a prime local favorite. Florence Stone will have tho title role. "It's A'l Your Fault," the new farco the Belasco company will use this week, starts off very much after the fashion ct the well known "Jane." As soon as the introduction of a small boy—a run- away from a reform school—ls accom- plished, however, and the lad ls passed off as the son of a quick-witted pre- varicating young New Yorker*, who is suddenly called upon to produce a son in order that his representations to a rich uncle for the past few years might be "made good," the dramatist strikes a new tangent and the fun-creating story leaves all trace of Its stage mother-in-law, "Jane," behind. Peter Clancey, a young local actor who has done much good work on the Belasco and other stages of the city, will be the runaway school boy, and Joseph A. Elbralth will be seen as the principal fun maker, although George Barnum, Richard Vivian and Eleanor Carey will come ln lor more than common prom- inence. '.-''."yyy: •.

WITHOUT BALLET

v Think of It! "Black Crook" withoutthe ballet! \ .-.-... •

Two fate-tempting producers, . Millerand Plohn, have seen flt to tamper withold traditions by substituting musicalnumbers for the premiere danseuse andher coryphees whom old timers used tosee, but .now, alas, see no more. Onecan forgive "Uncle Tom's Cabin" with-out the Ice, but "Black Crook" withouttiptoe dancers is too much. \

Testerday at the Grand the big aud-ience . realized that something waswrong. The hardened opera chair con-tingent saw the well . rememberedshivery \u25a0 Brocken settings in the flrstact. Satan ; and the crafty magicianwere familiar enough. But where werethe pirouetting fluffy-ruffllesses thatmade men lean forward ln their seats?The nearest approach was. a fairies'dance, ugaassswi i«eww*o'..--.- Trick scenic features are made useof at every opportunity by the presentcompany. The new "Black Crook" isfull of surprises.; One never knowsfrom which side a devil will come orgo through walls and hidden doors.Patient, -. comical Greppo has a hardtime through it all, courting his lovedCarllne. \u25a0- ' y-

The work of E. J. Wlllard as Hert-zog, the magician; J. Edward Pierce,as a versatile count, Satan and charac-ter singer; William C. Welp as Greppo,

Bessie Browning as Carline and MarieRoalyn as Stalacta, the fairy queen,was very satisfactory to \u25a0 yesterday'saudience; that of the other principalsmuch less so. ,

The 'singing .and dancing chorusmakes numerous changes in costumes,

and though small numerically is wellgarbed and well trained.

'MILK WHITE FLAG'SCORES BIG HIT

"A Milk White Flag," a musical comedyln three acta by the late Charles A. Hoyt,revived at the Burbank theater yesterdayafternoon by the Burbank Stock company.Revival under the stage direction cfRobert Morris. Dances and marches ar-ranged by and under the direction of E»l---gard . Temple.

IT IS a matter for regret that noplayright has come forward totake the place made vacant by

the death of Charles A. Hoyt. Wehave had writers of comedy who havesurpassed him; writers of farce whohave excelled film In wit and in theconstruction of lively situations; andwe have had satirists of more sclntll-lant brilliancy, but there has been noone who has succeeded so well In be-ing both satirical and good naturedat the same time. Perhaps GeorgeAdo comes" the nearest to fillingHoyt'sshoes. His "Cocktail followes 1 theflag," in "The Sultan of Zulu," isquite in the Hoyt vein; but even Adehas hit upon no such conceit as theidea of a militia regiment with oneprivate, 399 officers, a dozCn or so vl-vandlers and other picturesque, if de-cidedly unmllltary, servitors.

The Hoyt wit carries no sting withit. Taken from a glass It needs no"chaser." Moreover, its shafts areaimed not against fads but againstfoibles. The fad flourishes its littletime and is forgotten. The foible Is apart of human nature and remains.Therefore It follows that a Hoyt '"-reis quite as funny today as upon >cdate of its writing, and doubtless Itwill be just as funny a hundred yearshence. \u25a0•\u25a0 \u25a0

Laugh, Laugh, LaughAt the Burbank yesterday afternoon

I watched closely to see whether theold lines and the old situations wouldget the same old laughs, and theydid—all except one. When "A MilkWhite Flag" was! written the nationhad passed from the "McGlnty" eraof Its song history to "Comrades."Consequently every time the colonelof the regiment used the word "com-rades" Mr. Hoyt had his band and hischorus take up the air and play andsing It through.' At the time this wasalways good for a big laugh. Yester-day It evoked laughter from the oldtimers, but the newer generation ofplaygoers evidently didn't. appreciatethe point. Had it been "Bedella" now,or even "The Merry Widow Waltz"—but It wasn't. • >; -'\u25a0-'.

; •'; \u25a0

The farce has ' been given an elab-orate production and has been ex-cellently cast. The regular Burbankforces are augmented by the additionof a chorus of i twenty—sixteen girls

and four men, and this chorus consti-tutes one of the hits |of the revival.It's a versatile chorus, by the way."Vtvandlers in, the first-act, show girls

In act. two, and just chorus girls inthe last act, arrayed In the frank cos-tumes of current day burlesque.

Company Shows VersatilityIf for .no • other reason—and there

are many of them—"A Mjlk WhiteFlag" would still be worth while as Il-lustrating the versatility of the Bur-bank company. . Even Desmond for-gets to be Desmond. The Verstwhileleading man is cast In a character rolethis week. He plays Plggot Luce andwhen he first came upon the stageyesterday .- afternoon * the K. audiencedidn't know him. Now the Sunday

afternoon audience at the Burbank Ismade up In \u25a0 large measure of youngwomen who have worshipped long andadoringly »at - \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 the Desmond - shrine.Therefore ' their Inability- to recognizetheir idol Is a fine testimonial to > hismakeup. t Of.- course, when he. spoke,the usual volley of applause was forth-coming, but 1 It was curiously delayed.Such a thing has not happened beforeat this' playhouse \u25a0 within the memoryof the' oldest Burbank habitue.

Blanche Hall,'this week, Is a singing,soubrette. She doesn't dance and sheought to jln\u25a0 order to > make the | char-acter complete/but she does sing andshe makes a delightful picture In hersoubrette ' costume. ,-\u25a0 A. > Byron Beasleyplays Phil Graves, an undertaker, andhe's lugubriously I funny Nenough ( foranybody. John W. Burton Is the Na-poleonic t colonel; Willis '" Marks \u25a0 thehard-worked private and Henry Stock-bridge, the. majqr. ; y yf''': . '

Two New Song Hits ._ The » musical 1numbers i include :. twonewi -Montrose » songs, neverbefore \u25a0 heard jln| public. One of:these,"My..*Yankee ? Sailor jBoy," is ;particu-larly :ttimely as .it i.iIsfidedicated S'.to"Bob" Evans' fleet,l now on I its -. warsto:i

i i r _.iin_, J_hi-___i_--_i___,iiri_,_M_>_,n__liif

Los Angeles. This Is sung by MissMargo'Duffet and chorus amd Is mosteffectively worked up to a good cli-max. The melody la catchy— the audi-ence whistled It on leaving the theater—and the piece should become popu-lar. The other made-ln-Los Angelesnumber is "Cherokee." daintily sungby Blanche Hall _*id Maurel Bon-ardeau. * i'tv.

Henry Stockbridge Is the chief war-bler of the company, however. Mr.Stockbridge flrst sings "It's a IDiffer-ent Girl Again," In which he ls as-sisted by the chorus. Next, withBlanche Hall, he sings Anna Held's"Will You Be My Teddy Bear;" then,"Good Night, My Little Daffodil," andAnally, "The Milk White Flag." TheTeddy Bear song is excellently done.Its chorus, however, ls a frank stealfrom "Chlng-a-llng-a-ling."

A. Byron Beasley also cuts Into thesinging game with "Rain In the Face,"sung here a few weeks ago by FrankDaniels. The house liked It so wellthat they wouldn't let Mr. Beasley gountil he had exhausted all the verseshe knew and had drifted Into anotherBong ln response to applause • thatwould not be denied.

"A Milk White Flag" ought to runa fortnight at least. Go to see It. It'sa bargain at the price. . See the lead-ing man as the leading woman's fondpapa; see Stockbridge try to look likea Teddy bear, and see that chorus.

PASSING out \u25a0 of the Los Angelestheater last night the house man-

ager stopped me at the door andintroduced r.-.e to a Dr. Throop, who,

he said, is one of the city chemists."We have just succeeded'ln convinc-ing the doctor," he added, "that theGingerbread Man compile fullywith all

the pure food laws, both national andlocal." The "doctor" assured me this

I was true. I am somewhat skeptical,' though, not regarding the quality ofthe bake shop product, but about that"doctor." He talked with a Pennsyl-

vania accent, his eyes had the Phila-delphia droop and he didn't look like aman with enough political pull to holdoffice under the present administration.However, this is no disparagementupon "The Gingerbread Man," which isgingery enough, crisp enough and nice-ly enough baked for any palate.

', It would be difficult to call "TheGingerbread Man" to book because the"book" in question scarcely rises tothe | dignity of a pamphlet. There Iseven less to it than to the costumes ofthe chorus, but what there Is servesnicely and, by the same token, so dothe chorus costumes. V

SIDLE LAWRENCE

There are many good lines in theI book, some of them written at the timethe piece was constructed, some severalyears before, and a few since. Andthere are a number of unusually cleverlyrics. The music is good; much bet-ter than the average and, fortunately,It Is sung by people who can and dosing. y, , -.. yyy.-. Here' are a few of the observationsscattered through the dialogue:

A Few Gingersnaps'."'Tis }better to have loved a shortWan than never to have loved a tall."

"ItIsn't always flattery that turns a.woman's head; sometimes it's perox-ide."

"Laugh and the world laughs with, you; snore and you sleep alone."

"Don't cry over spilt milk, Remem-ber the cows have to make a living."' "A nickel in the hand is worth two

in the slot machine.""Faint - heart ' never filled a spade

flush." And these two nonsense verses:"Mary had a little lamb. ' .

She placed It on a shelf,And every time Itwagged its tallIt spanked its little self.", ,y ...'' 'Twas little Miss Mabel

"Who sat at a table ' yyy:.In a down town cafe.The lobster beside her, :§Por the supper inside her,

j-;I.Had $22 to pay."

Music Is CatchyEh There are many good musical num-bers ln this piece. Most of the musichas a lilting, tinkling quality—the sort

; of thing you carry home with you andtry out on the piano— it is not com-monplace. None- of the airs Is reminis-cent. Perhaps those that will be most

Mable Day is Mazle Bon Bon. She Isa little woman with a big voice, par-

time.As for the chorus. It sings better than

any chorus we have heard in months Inlight opera or musical comedy. Youwon't have to' take opera glasses either.You can find the pretty girls withoutt'n#m. They are not so scarce as to re-quire that aid to a search. One of thagirls—she's number two of the fairies—looks enough like Florence Stone to b3,

one of the family. !"The Gingerbread Man" is presented

with somewhat shabby scenery, and afew of the costumes have seen belternights. Itis, however, by far and away

the best thing of Its kind the Los An-geles theater ever has presented....

Marie Corelli's love story of far Nor-way, "Thelma," will hold the attentionof Auditorium audiences this week, be-ginning tonight, and judging from theadvance sale, It will prove one of til*best patronized plays of the fast wan-ing Ferris season. Thousands haveread and wept over the Corelll novel,

and thousands have wished that theymight see depicted on the stage thestruggles and sufferings and final tri-umphs of Thelma and her admirer.Hence, the play ought to prove ajrime favorite with Auditorium audi-ences. The scenes give ample chancelor stage effects of surpassing beauty,

and the Ferris liberality In this regarddoubtless will be maintained. A num-ber ofextra players have been engaged.Including Fanchon Everhart, a primelocal favorite. Florence Stone will havetho title role.

"It's A'l Your Fault," the new farcothe Belasco company will use this week,starts off very much after the fashionct the well known "Jane." As soon asthe introduction of a small boy—a run-away from a reform school—ls accom-plished, however, and the lad ls passedoff as the son of a quick-witted pre-varicating young New Yorker*, who issuddenly called upon to produce a sonin order that his representations to arich uncle for the past few years mightbe "made good," the dramatist strikesa new tangent and the fun-creating

story leaves all trace of Its stagemother-in-law, "Jane," behind. PeterClancey, a young local actor who hasdone much good work on the Belascoand other stages of the city, will be therunaway • school boy, and Joseph A.Elbralth will be seen as the principalfun maker, although George Barnum,Richard Vivian and Eleanor Carey willcome ln lor more than common prom-inence.
