Spotlights So Much For So Much, Willard Mack's sensational new play, to be seen for the first time in this city at the Alcazar Theatre, next week, with the author-actor and his lovely co-star, Marjorie Rambeau, in the leading roles, is declared to be a most brilliant handling of a problem that has recently stirred the entire United States. The theme is tne relation of a struggling young fe- male stenographer against the temptations of her rich employer. ]\Tack handles it in a new way—one that represents the subject plainly and openly but in a manner that never once ofifends. It teaches a high moral lesson, without preach- ing, and as played by Mack and I\Tiss Rambeau, it reaches the high- est realms of the drama. The San Francisco center of the Drama League of America celebrat- ed the anniversary of Shakespeare's birthday with a splendid program at tiie Cort Theatre Thursday after- noon of last week. Professor Wal- ter N. Hart, of the State University, ]M-esented a scholarly essay on the supremacy of Shakespeare as a playwright. Miss Ethel Prebel sang most artistically a number of Shakespearean songs, and Leo Cooper proved himself an elocution- ist of high rank by a number of scenes from the dramatist's plays. A beautiful picture of Shakespeare was presented to the Girl's High School as the winner in the contest lietween the various high schools of the city for the best composition on his works. The Winter Garden production of The Passing Show of tot 3 will be the next attraction at the Cort The- atre, following Peg O' My Heart, and onening on Sunday night, May TO. The original company and a chorus of sixty will be seen in the revue, which is the most colossal LAURETTE TAYLOR In PEG O' MY HEABT By J.

The plot—if plot it may be called—hinges on the efiPorts of the Tired Business Man to find relaxation. Travesties on dramatic successes, mingled with dancing and singing surprises and elaborate costumery, are constant- ly in evidence. Wright Huntington, who has been conspicuous on the American stage for many seasons as an actor, has established a circuit of stock companies, notably in St. Paul and Minneapolis. In the latter city he has established a company of un- usual merit with which he will make productions of new plays by aspir- ing American dramatists of talent.

Worcester while .Secretary of the Interior of the Phil- i])I)ines, provides two programs of ab- sorbing interest and which is the offcr- STAR THEATRE OaKdale, Cal- K. C SHICAniOU. manager.

Every scene exhil)itcd was taken on the ground, showing actual conditions, and arc far superior in interest and realism to the usual l)hoto play built and produced in a studio. A superb lecture will be given in conjunction with the pictures. William Hodge, the quaint com- edian, will be seen at the Cort The- atre soon in The Road to FTappi- ness, a play that has scored em- phatically. Hodge occupies 'a uni(|ue position on the American stage. He toured in The Man from Home consecutively for something like six years.
