Tomorrow night Madame Sarah Bern
harat will, in three hours at the opera
house, earn more money than most men
in Los angeles can make in year.
Such ii is to be both genius and FASH
iOn-
She will be seen in La Tosca, play
which is so well known as to need no
farther comment. In fact the play
matters very little. Fashionable Los
Amgeleaos would pay their So each, just
as eheerfully to see her in Box and Cox,
or a farce comedy-perhaps quicker.
The affair will be a double event, an
artistic and social one combined. About
cen per cent. of the audience will be able
60 understand the lines, but ninety per
cent will enjoy seeing the great actress,
and the remainder will feel happy in
simply being there, and in knowing
GSsa& other people know they are in it,
So 20 speak.

Managers McLain and Lehman did
R1S assume the risk of loss consequent
10 the big guarantee they were obliged
Co give Madame Bernhardt, from any
desire for managerial glory. They did
rs s91ely because they expected to make
M8cuey, and they have succeeded. None
tf1e less they deserve to be commended
far the boldness they displayed, and for
giving 20 the pubic an entertainment
which will be enjoyed in but few cities
@S the size of Los Angeles. The theater-
@0fRg public will be glad to know that
p0GtlOn OF the immense sum taken in
fNE seats will remain in the managers
packets, and by Tuesday morning will
@e thoroughly grateful for the privilege
of having seen the greatest actress of
to-day
