MIR. AL. HAYMAN.
For Am Not AN Impresario?

For Am 1 Not an zmpresario?
Mr.. Al. Hayman, lessee of the Bald
win Theatre, is in Los Angeles for the
first time to stay since he brought
Madamoiselle Rhea to open the Grand.
A representative of the HERALD saw the
impresario at the Hollenbeck yesterday
for few minutes and had chat with
him on theatrical matters, as Los Ange-
les is interested in that topic. He stated
that he was more than satisfied with the
reception his attractions have met with
in this city. Mr.. Hayman said that, of
course, this place is SO far removed from
San Francisco and there being no stand,
not even one.night one be-
tween the two places for the
greater part of his attractions,
the expense of getting troupe here and
back eats up all the profits of even sue
cessful engagement. But that does not
discourage this wide-awake manager,
who wishes to have the Baldwin attrac.
tions known all over the coast He fnds
that house of amusement taking the
leading place among all in California,
and there is not day but he receives
kilograms from all over the coast 10 re-
serve two or more seats for the evening.
His attractions in Los Angeles have been
particularly successful, and he feels
much encouraged to send to this city the
very best he has.
here now is to accompany Mad
anne Modjeska, who comes to pIsy
season OF week, supported by COM
pany which Mr.. Hayman regards as no
whit behind the Palmer Company of
New York. Early in March he will send
Mr.. Wyatt, the manager of the Grand,
Joe Smith Russell, in a play fully the
equal of Denman Thompson's Old Home
stead. 1t is known as A Poor Relation.
This will be followed later on by Little
Lord Fauntleroy, with the full cast as it
has been played in New York to i'm.
mense business for the whole winter.
Then will come Mary Anderson, "Our
Mary" in 4 Winters Tale. She will
be followed by young Sothern in
Lord Chumley. This artist is said
to be greater than his father
in all the elements of the
dramatic art. After him will come
Booth and Barrett, in full repertoire
and supported by an excellent company,
and then the Bostonian English Grand
Opera Company, the best in this line
probably on the American stage. Then
the Lyceum Company in The Wife and
Sweet Lavender will come. This COM
pany played the Wife here last winter to
delighted audiences. Augustin Dalye
original company will be later attrac-
ton, at the Baldwin, not to open here.
Rose Caghlan and company will come
here, and after her the Rosina Vokes
Comedy Company in all its strength as
it plays in all the Eastern cities. That
is a bill OF artistic fare which theatrical
sybarite may contemplate with satisfac-
ton.
Next year, as is well known, Mr.. Booth
ia to star with Madame Modieska as a
companion luminary of iully equal splen-
dor and magnitude. 1t is to be Booth
and Modjeska as it is Booth and Barrett
Mr.. Barrett is to manage for the stars,
and very clever manager he is. For a
future attraction it is hoped that COM
bination will be formed in which Barrett
will join Booth and Modjeska and make
really brilliant galaxy Of histrionic
stars.
Then news reaches America that Mr..
Marcus Mayer has induced Madame
Patti to sign for thirty performances in
New York next December. The diva
may be induced to visit the Coast again
after this engagement is fulfilled.
Bernhardt has decided not to visit
America again earlier than 1890. She
will, of course, come to the Bald win late
in that year. By that time Los Angeles
will no doubt have reached such a
growth and cosmopolitan status that the
divine Sara may be- induced to come
here
