TOMOTHERS AND FATHERS: Tradition says that experience is the champion school teacher of the world, yet how many people ever profit by the the colorful }Jageant of the Indian | t, | trayals of the folk son. The sl(\r,\',- however, is told in| vords by living actors, the company | direct from ‘its own playhouse at San Gabriel, where the play has had a re markable run of 969 performances The actors live and move, for the Mission Play is not a picture drama, Its people were born, many of them, in the old Mission town of San Ga- briel, where tie play “had its birth There are twenty-two real Indians with the company. he Indian dancers are real Indians. The Span- ish dancers are descended from the best blood of old Spain. And each| actor has been fitted into his part—has almost grownd into it. ¥ The first scene of “The Mission Play” is laid on the shores of the Bay of San Diego, the “Harbor of the Sun,” in 1769, and portrays the great difficulties that beset the path of the Franciscan fathers and the Spanish expedition to establish the white man's Christianity and civiliza- tion on the western shores of Ameri- ca. A great conflict arises between Father Junipero and the people, who threaten to take him away by force. The climax to this act is the answer to the prayer of the one great soul that alone had faith in God. The second act presents a vivid picture of life as it was lived in the-golden age of California. The scene is laid at the Mission of San Carlos de Carmel, near Monterey. It is in this act that | arts and crafts is’ showh, also the | great “Fiesta Scene” with its por- | songs and dances of the Spanish California of a cen- tury ago. |* The third act tells the story of ruin and portraying the result that followed upon the confiscation of the missions when the Indiané.and | the Franciscan fathers were driven out. —_— ' Fiske O'Hara cc:§ms t6” the Bran- deis theater for foupr days, beginning Sunday, October 29, with matinee Wednesday, - Mr. O'Hara has com- posed five new songs, which he will sing during the action of the play. The cast includes Arthur Vinton, J. | P. Sullivan, WilNam T. Sheehan, J. Miller, Helen Vallely, Bess Sankey Lisle Leigh and Lou Ripley. N — The great question in every wom- an's life is, “Which one shal} I marry?” Is it wise to marry for | Wednesday, commencing this after- money or for love? These questions form the basis for a remarkable play entitled “Which One Shall I Marry?” and written by Ralph T. Kettering, | which will‘be given at the Boyd the- ater for four nights only, with mati- nees on Sunday, Tuesday and noon. The play deals with a young girl who as a stenographer is beloved by her employer, a very rich man, and by the foreman of the shop, who is a poor man. s She discovers herself at the crossroads of life, tries to escape and finds herself lost in the Gray Forest of Doubt. Her father and mother are desirous that she marry money, as it will benefit them also. She prays that she may see her life with both men,/that she may make her choice. Béhold, she finds her- self at-the gates of the rich man’s mansion. Her life in the land of money is one of sham and hypocrisy, while her life in the realms of reality with ‘thepoor man_she finds deep privationt, domestigity and sordidness —but also love, As she finally makes her choice she finds herself back in the old home with her mother and + AND COMPLETE CAST .

Broadway's peach ' crop has apparently been cornered in se lecting the ensemble of this huge Winter Garden spectacle. Added tp these attractions the directors of the—ef Winter Garden are sending a*cast of als well worth the price of ad- on in themselves. Figuring prominently in th t are such well known names as Conroy and Le Maire, Williagm Norris, Collins and Hart, the Courtney Sisters, McMa- hon, Diamond and Chaplow, Wanda Lyon, Rosie Quinn, Franklin Batie and Margaret_ Edwards.

Frank Dodson, another comedian of legitis mate methods; Eleanor Cochras) soubrette; Dolly Meedan, a prin donna; Hite and Reflow, dancers, and the Pall Mall trio, three singers of smart songs, are notable members o{ the cast. The chorus is an adjunct of grace and beauty, the twenty-eight of more comely girls having been se: lected because of their attractiveness and abiMty to wear effective cos+ tumes. A novelty -will be introdue- tion of a French ballet, interpreted by a score of talented young dancing girls who are said to give an exhibis tion of terpsichorean 'skill quite as rs;arkable and equal to the ballets of grand opera.

With De- lightfulness” is presented by Fiddler and Shelton, two old-time vaudevil- lians, Stanley and La Brack complete the vaudeville offering for the first half of the week with a comedy sing/ ing, talking and dancing act. “Manhattan Madness” is Fairbanks Feature at Strand Douglas Fairbanks is seen at the Strand in his latest, “Manhattan Mad- ness,” taday and tomorrow, Mr. Fair- banks adds to his laurels in “Manhat- tan Madneéss,” which can best be de- scribed as a burst of speed, glee, hi- larity, good nature, -entertainment, with a little love thrown in for a fifler.
