AT THE LIBERTY THEATRE
Billed for tonight’s program is a
drama historically correct in detail '
of the most romantic chapter of '
California's history; that of the ;
rule of the Spanish Dons on their j
vast land grants from the Spanish
crown. It is -nf the day when j
pleasure was sought more than i
business, when fighting, loving and |
intrigue were the excitements;
when ther^ were more holidays
than work days. It is said to be
very beautifully stage#’ and a
|thrilling tale when the only thing
| to worry about was the covetous
eye of Russia.
