Willard Mack and Marjorie Rambeau These two well-known leading peo- ple began a starring engagement at the Alcazar Theatre last Monday, and it may be confidently expected that the succeeding weeks will bring forth a brilliant succession of triumphs. Both have had a large experience, both are young and both are magnetic and fine-looking—and their versatility is uncommon. During the season several of Mr. Mack's new plays will be given. The Inder Dog Selwyn and company opened The Crime of the Law under the title of The Under Dog at Howard's Comedy Theatre, Chicago, on April ii. Ben Johnson, Jean Shelby, Leo B. Lind- hard, Barry Norton and Lester Paul are among the players in the cast. Something of the purpose of the play is expressed in these words from the prologue: "I, who was an ex-con- vict, a three-time loser, have come to speak to you a message. I will show to you the story of my life, and that life is a mirror to the lives of thousands. I will show to you the things now done in the name of jus- tice ; true things, terrible things, and I ask you, after you have seen, as you go out into the glad free air, to re- member—to remember and to help, each one of you, to do your share to- ward destroying these things and bringing about everywhere a change, that new law which recognizes that, though a man may sin and fall, he is still your brother, and that, even though a soul be dead, there is always resurrection through mercy." Ince In Dramatic Production Tom Ince, the moving picture mag- nate of the New York ^Iotion Picture Company of Los Angeles, will produce a new play at the Alajestic Theatre, Los Angeles, in a couple of weeks.

[SEAL.] Little Miss Carter This winsome little lady is the daughter of Monte Carter, the clever comedian. UnitedKeaneographFilm Com pany a Big Concern The United Keaneograph Film Company of Fairfax, after equip- ping the finest studio in the coun- try, in the best possible surround ings, has started to work on a mon ster five-reel feature film, that will show 173 scenes. Director James Keane is assembling a splendid com- pany, headed by Carlotta De Felice, late star of the Vitagraph company. In the company will be Fred Snook, George Chesebro, Nor- bet Cills, James Devereaux, E. A. Warren, Matt Burton, Pauline Hill- enbrand, Marshall Zeno and Carl Case, scenic artist. This company will make a specialty of feature films, and will probably later add a comedy company. Billie Burke Marries NEW YORK, April 12.—Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr., the well-known theatri- cal manager, producer of The Follies and other musical comedies, and Billie Burke, the Frohman star, now play- ing in Jerry at the Lyceum Theatre in tliis city, were married in Hoboken Saturday afternoon, after Miss Burke's matinee. Rev. Dr. J. Endcl- bert, pastor of the Lutheran Church in Hoboken, united the couple in his resi- dence. Dr. F. Ziegfeld, father of the manager, and Mrs. Ziegfeld and Mrs. J5urke, mother of the bride, were wit- nesses of the ceremony. McKee Rankin is Dead McKee Rankin died this morning at the Continental Hotel from chirosis of the liver, aged 72 years, after an acute illness of several weeks, al- though he had been ailing for the past year. His daughter, Mrs. Harry Davenport, was with him and will take the remains East today. Gaiety Theatre Fulton and Rock are the editions de luxe of their particular branch of art. They are names to conjure with. But anyone who has learned to appre- ciate, and consequently to admire, them through tlieir inimitable special- ties seen during their Orpheum en- gagements will hardly feel that there is anything wortiiy of their talent in The Echo, their latest vehicle. With the help of a number of clever people, they work hard to make it go, but the spontaneity is lacking. There is a really funny suffragette act and some catchy music, but little outside of these that is up to what two such artists have trained us to expect from them. The Echo includes a brand new chorus, which does some good singing and dancing, some burlesque, some traves- ties and some songs, all strung to- gether with a thread—a very slender thread—of nonsense. Maude Fulton is the head waitress, and, being her- self, she fascinates her audience as well as all the male boarders at the hotel. William Rock and Kitty Doner are the two stranded actors who man- age, botli together and singly, to keep the fun fast and furious. Incidental- ly, Rock and Fulton interpolate a bur- lesque Apache dance that whets the ap- petite for more. As the tall and the short of it, big Oscar Ragland, the genial hotel manager, and his little sweetheart, Frances White, win ap- plause. Bessie Franklin scores a hit with her Laura Short, the newspaper correspondent; Will Philbrick gets in his deadly work as tlie bell hop, and that promising young actor, Fred Santley, discloses a very charming voice and a decided talent for dancing. The stage setting is unusually .good.
