David Belasce's “The Girl of the Gold- - - en West.” % Bkt “The Gir] of the Golden West,” Dav- id -Belasco’s wonderfully successful -drama of California life in fhe days of '49, ‘'will’be seen at the Broadway the- “ater this évening. “The Girl of the Golden West” is the »production . issuing from the Belasco studio that all New York audiences admired. fer two consecutive years at the Belasco theater in that city. “The Girl”-is the heroine of a mining camp .in the Sierra Nevadas, and her pres- ence ecxerts a sweet and powerful though peculiar Influence upon the ca- reer ‘of the little community. She “ewns and conducts the chief saloon of the séttlement. Besides herself, the story Fas two characters of strength and prominence inferi>r only to that of “The Girl” herself. They are Jack .Rance, the sheriff, and Ramerrez, alias Dick -Johnson, the road agent. These _two battle for the love of the girl; the one's weapons being the strength and determination that save elevated him to a dominating position over a set of men who respéct only courage and re- source; the otner, handicapped by his rd of icrime, possesses an almost fnexplicable fascingtion for the girl fherself. The girl, a game of cards, and the boys who love her aM figure in the denouement of ‘the conflict, and the incidents and situations leading up. to tha climax of the story well de- serve the: deseription- “stirring.” 46, K. of P, g “The World and a Woman.” Probably it seldom, if ever, occurs to the ordinary-'spectatdrs as he sits in the comfortable auditorium of a the- ater, more cr léss indifferent to the jc environment proyided for the r v enagted s not one detall of this physical back- ground, however insignificant it may appear at a casual glance, that has not been as earefully planned and exe- cuted asithe players themselves are rehearsed. Thereéfore, it naturally fol- lows that most of the famous produc- ers of plays possess the artistic tem- permament and are in full knowledge of artistic requirements. Several of them are artists, and among the latter a conspicuous place must be given Bar] Burgess, who made elaborate sketehes for every one of the many powerful _scenes in Joseph Byron Tot- ten's remarkable play of contemporary Amerfcan life, “The World and a Woman,” which will be presented un- der. his direction at the Broadway theater on Saturday, Sept. 11, matinee and might. Had not Mr. Burgess elect- ed for a cdreer as a producer of high- class plays, he undoubtedly would ‘have’ turned his " attention to other flelds of art, for he is wonderfully clev- er with the brush and mall stick, and the homes of several brother theatrical Mmagnates are ornamented with his works in oil. ; BREED THEATER. Escaped from Andersonville, Great Feature Picture. Wliat is conceded to be one of the finest war pictures in the business is how being shown at the Breed the- the stage, that there | ater, and the very interesting and truthful . picture is “entitled Escaped from Andersonville, being a revelation of ‘the sufferings and final escape from that famous institution. A wonderful picture story of the ‘clever tunnelling to freedom, by the federals, shows one of the most thrilling scenes in the reel, and under the watchful eye of the pacing guard it becomes a seeming impossibility, and as the thrilling scene progresses the interest of the spectator -increases, and when they h_lvo gained their freedom the impa- tient audience signifies their favor by liperal ‘applause, and in the following scenes, where the prisoners confiscate a switching engine and appropriate it to their own use, to ald their escaping, the interest does not lag a moment un- til the thrillipg climax, when the Con- federates attempt to blow up a bridge over which the prisoners are to pass. They are nearly succesful, but the ex- pl takes place just after the fed- erals have passed over it, leaving an tmpassable gulch between the prison- eops and the pursuing Coi erates. y other fine filmg are also shown, a8 well as much excellent comedy. Master Harry Noonan make a big hit with his pretty illustrated song, “My Prairie Song Bird,” also with his ncert song. DANIELSON MUSIC HALL. “The Final Settlement.” The attraction at Danielson Music hall this evening will be “Thé Final Settlement,”* a drama in four acts by Izm B. Parker, which has never be- lare heen presented in Danielson. The play ig very. modern, and one doeg not have to think very rd to reoall inci- dents chronicled in the papers of re- cent times that somehow border along the linés of the play. It deals with a ‘man who started with nothing and be- cane & mililonaire and president of -a sreat fron trust. He gets the society t:'er, and so the woman who shared hie adversity is no longer considered nough for him, and he divorces @y "casts her adrift.
