Spotlights A new comedy in preparation is Happiness by J. Hartley Manners, which Mr. Alorosco will more than likely utilize as the successor of Peg O' My Heart in New York. The new comedy is an enlargement of the one-act play second in the bill of these condensed stories which Miss Taylor is now presenting at the Cort Theatre in New York at special Friday matinee perform- ances. It is totally unlike Peg O' My Heart in subject matter, but there is a certain relationship in the two leading characters of the play that will unquestionably add to Miss Taylor's reputation for the presen- tation of these characters. In Hap- piness she is seen as a shop girl who lives in Brooklyn but works in New York, and comes in contact with the people of prominence in the social life of the big town. It is predicted that in his next venture Mr. Man- ners will be almost as successful in making a notably popular comedy as he has been with Peg O' My Heart. Just when it will be produced de- pends upon the continued popularity of the later play. Jack Lait, who wrote Help Wanted, as well as several other plays and in- numerable vaudeville .sketches, has two new plays in hand for production next fall. It is reported tiiat Del Lawrence will open in stock at the Grand in Sac- ramento about Sejitember. The Coast members of The Traffic Company, No. i, write that they will be home soon. It is announced that an early at- traction at the Columbia will be Richard Bennett and the New York cast in Brieux' Damaged Goods. In the second act of The Deser- ter, which will be VVillard Mack's and Marjorie Rambeau's second offering at the Alacazar Tlieatre, be- ginning next Monday nigiit, .'\pril 20th, Miss Rambeau will display an- other phase f)f her versatility. She will offer a high-class singing and dancing s])ccialty in the second act, which is laid in the interior of a well-known dance hall on the fa- mous Barbary Coast in this city. Charles Compton and other mem- bers of the versatile Alcazar Players, will al.so be seen in specialties dur- ing this act. "The i)lay (jf actual conditions is the play of the hour," says Rol)ert llilliarcl, "and I find The -Argyle Case one that entertains without offending good taste. But before 1 leave the stage I want to create one character that will live after me— one as vivid as Sir Giles Overreach of E. L. Davenport; the Ivan of Mansfield, or Louis XI of William 1^. Sheridan, wiiich was greater than Irvihg's. I am probably the one actor in the world who does not want to ]ilay Sliylock." Chauncey Olcott is singing some l)articularly attractive songs in his present production of Shameen Dhu. Not the least effective is the one ren- dered in the second act and called Dream Girl O' Mine. Another de- lightful song gem is Peggy Darlin'. Robert Flilliard, as detective y\she Kayton in The Argyle Case, has been ingeniously defined as in- THEATRE Oakdale, Cal. E. C. SHEARKU, manaser.

'J'iie first of W'illard Mack's own new ])lays to be produced during the Mack-Rambeau .sea.son at the Alcazar, will be a drama dealing with a subject that is now holding the attention of the entire United States, 'i'he title of Mack's play is a uni(|iic one—So Much For So Mud). It will be preceded by Mack's one-act thriller, Kick In, in which the two stars scored a sensa- tional success in vaudeville last sea- son. Fd Redmond and his company will play a short engagement in San Jose at the Victory Theatre in June.
