Los Angeles is the only city of even
twice it's size in which Patti has ever
deigned to sing. She favors the city in
second treat of this kind, this time in
opera, just after passing through the
great city of st. Louis with only one con-
cert. The city will respond to this.
Roland Reed.
Mr.. Roland Reed and clever COM
pany will be the attraction at the Grand
all of next week, presenting the great sue
cess, The Woman Halter, which ran for
over 100 nights in New York City, and
was pronounced by critics the greatest
comedy success in years." The play
has since been presented in nearly all
| the leading cities of the country with un-
usual success. Mr.. Reed is comedian
whose peculiarities of person and eccen-
tricities of manner always attract atten-
ton, while his sense of humor is so keen
and his expression of it so spontane.
Gus and facile, that the result
must be satisfactory to an au-
dience. With face that is
grotesque in its conformation, with a
figure that suggests shadow in coat and
trousers, with voice that persists in get
ting on top of the shrillest pitch ard stay
ing there, and with nervous, jerky
method that at once puts an audience on
the edge of expectation, it would be i'm
possible for him to occupy any middle
ground between success and failure. He
must be either supremely ridiculous or
eminently successful in making fun. He
| is the latter.
In The Woman Hater Mr.. Reed has an
excellent vehicle for his unique talents.
The play bristles with bright lines and
telling situations. The story tells of the
misfortunes and adventures of one
Samuel Bundy," an old bachelor, who
is a reputed woman hater, but who
secretly adores the sex. He becomes
engaged to three women at the same
time without knowing exactly in what
way, and then plays crazy in order to
get out of the serape. He succeeds and
marries the woman of his choice. But
on his wedding day he is arrested
through mistake as dangerous lunatic
and incarcerated in an asylum, from
which he is finally liberated. There is a
very pretty love story running through
the play, and all of the characters are
we'll defined and interesting. During
the play Mr.. Reed will introduce num-
/ Ger Of new and taking songs, including
''It Was Dream" The supporting
company consists of Miss Isadore Rueh,
Miss Ruth Carpenter, Mrs. Mary Myers,
Fl. r es Davies, Ernest Bartram, Harry
A. Smith, William G. Andrews, Julian
Reed, James Douglass, Max Fehrmann.
