The appearance of the distinguished
American actress, Clara Morris, at the
new Los Angeles theater, tonight, is an
event in theatrical affairs notable and
attractive. Ranking first among the ac-
tresses of the world, she is second to
none in originality of intellect and
genius. Miss Morris has just filled a
two weeks engagement at the Baldwin
theater, in San Francisco, where the
capacity of the house was tested at each
performance. 1t is source of pleasure
to chronicle that, though for long
time partial invalid, Miss Morris has
entirely regained her health, and for
years has not given 80 strong, forcible
and perfect portrayals as she does now.
During her Los Angeles visit she will
be seen in three of the plays she has
made famous: Camille, Miss Mutton and
Renee De Moray. Every theater-goer
knows that in Camille it has long been
conceded that she more fully exempli-
fies Dumas heorine than any other
actress that has ever attempted it. So
we'll is this known that but few actresses
essay the role at all. Miss Mutton is
her original Union Square success, the
play receiving in her presentation the un-
qualified endorsement of the entire New
York press. Renee De Moray is COM
paratively new addition to her roper
toire, but contains all those elements of
int .al nj
stands pre-eminently the greatest.
Professor Herrmann's New Trans-At-
lantiques, the best vaudeville organiza-
tion in the field, formed of the choicest
talent of European and American artists,
commences limited engagement of five
nights at the Grand opera house to-mor-
row evening. Matinees will be given
Thanksgiving and Saturday. Herr
mann's New Trans-Atlantiques presents
a Kaleidoscope entertainment unequaled
in its dash, brilliancy and variety.
Though OF similar class OF entertain
ment to Herrmann's company here last
season, the present one is formed of en-
tirely new performers and will be found
to be much superior in merit and nov
city. This company. as we'll as last
years, was organized by the protector,
Mr.. George w. Lederer, who was the
first to have conceived the idea of organ
izing thoroughly first-class. clean vau-
deville entertainment, and placing it be-
fore legitimate audiences in first-class
theatres only.

London, in What is characterized as a
really marvellous performance on an un-

Prof. Gentry's equine and canine par
adoX is to appear next Monday at the

everywhere has been something marvel
