A. M. Palmer,s COmpaMy...Am I'm.
pOrtant Dramatic Event.
The advent of A. M. Palmer's Com
pany from the Madison Square Theater,
New York, to their weeks engagement
at the Opera House, is an event OF de-
cided importance to the theatrical world
of Los Angeles. A line on the bills an
nounces the organization as "The Repre-
sentative Dramatic Company of Amer.
ica." This is bold claim but it is one
which the career and reputation OF
tho gentleman whose name designates
the organization warrants in many re-
spects. When A. M. Palmer assumed
the helm at the Union Square Theater,
fortune sailed along with the ship. Those
were memorable days-the days of Led
Astray, of The Celebrated Case, of The
TaDo Orphans, of The Bankers Daughter,
of The Lights o. London, etc. The COM
pary was universally recognized as one of
vast capabilities. The range and character
of the plays there produced were wide
and diversified; the management was
prosperous and the Golfers full. Mr..
Palmer withdrew from the theatre and
from active management. Disintega-
tion set in rapidly, successes were few,
and gradually the company and it's glor-
les became memories only. But Mr
Palmer could not reme!:.a inactive. He
secured control OF the Madison SQUARE
Theatre, and the characteristics OF the
old organization were transferred to the
new; or rather, the organization contin-
ued the same, merely changing it's home,
for all the more important members OF
the old company were at once gathered
under Mr.. Palmer's standard. Successes
were again frequent, and The Private
Secretary, Saints and SINNERS, Oau Seciety,
Sealed Instructions, Jim, the Rnman,
Elaine, Heart of Hearts, and Partners
were added to the list of triumphs.
The repertoire which Mr.. Palmer an
nounees for the engagement commencing
Monday evening is solid and enduring
array. The opening play is Jim, the
Pen&aan, the latest success of the COM
pany, a play of strong emotion, human
interest and pronounced character, which
will be followed by Saints and Sinners,
Re0rt Of Hearts and Partners.
The following is list of Mr.. Palmer's
company: j. H. Stoddard, A. Salvini,
Frederick Robinson. Louis Massen, E.
M. Holland, Walden Ramsey, G.. P.
Flockton, Herbert Millward, Harry Hol-
liday, Mrs. f. J. Phillips, Marie Bur
roughs, Annie Russell, May Brooklyn,
Virginia Buchanan. Clara Lipman, Kate
Maloney, Annie Homan, Little Gertie
Homan, j. B. Hollis, George S. Stevens
and G. w. Presbrey. Every member of
the company is known, and the indi-
viduals, as we'll as the organization, mum.
ber hosts of friends here. Alexander Sal
vini-or. as he is generally called, young
Salvini-is the latest addition to the or
ganization. Stoddart, Robinson, Flock
ton and Mrs Phillips make up quartette
Of names that awaken mem
cries of the past successes and
anticipation of future triumphs.
They are artists legitimate and
thorough and skilled in their craft, Marie
Burroughs will be welcomed as one of
US. Her career has been brilliant and
her advancement rapid. She holds an
envied position at present, hut one en-
tirely deserved. Annie Russell will not
be forgotten, nor is it possible that any
one could forget her, as her charming
manners are distinctly sui generis. Louis
Massen's earnest and forcible acting,
E. M. Hollands clever character define
alton. and Walden Ramsey's bright and
graceful impersonations will be re-
membered. May Brooklyn will be re-
membered as handsome woman and a
strong actress. Virginia Buchanan and
Herbert Millward, Henry Holiday,
Clara Lipman, Kate Malouey (who was
last here with Lawrence Barrett), Annie
Homan, clever little Gertie Homan and
the efficient stage manager, G. Wiley
Presbrey, fill out to completion Mr..
Palmer's admirable and capable organiz-
otion.
The advance sale is very large, and
everything indicates large and fashion
able audiences during the entire engage
ment.
