ADJUSTMENTS. A
A Barrel Of Money at the Los An
geles Theater.

geles Theater.
Herbert Hall Winslow has written an
American comedy which is claimed to
be the best American character comedy
yet written. 1t is now being played at
the Los Angeles theater by company,
some of whom are clever artists
The name is A Barrel of Money
The claim is not a very ex-
travagant one. Americans have
not yet succeeded in writing any sort of
play that is worth much. This one will
not immortalize the author. There are
some good points in it, one being the
introduction of songs. dances and bits
of specially business. The Salvation
army band in uniform with tambourine
and drums producing those terrible
noises characteristic of the army cranks
in real life, is one of the best things
in it.
The piece is pretty we'll produced,
excepting that the singing is not quite
satisfactory. Miss Oracle Emmett plays
Roxy, a very mischievous sort of innO-
ent kid. satisfactorily, and w. II.
Bailey does the business incident to the
character of Amos Garrison, paralytic
old man on the point Of death, very
well. Danny Mann as Squire Hazlitt is
quite picturesque specimen of a
Yankee countryman. The play will be
repeated tonight. Last night it
pleased large portion of the audience.
Perhaps the upper gallery enjoyed its
fun with most abandon.
THE MINsTRELs.
Chas. T.. Schilling, manager OF Good
year, Glitch & Schilling's minstrels, is a
successful manager and clever come
dian. He is the originator of musical
comedy and premier musical artist Of
America. MIR. Schilling is Los An
geles boy his parents reside on South
Main street. The minstrels appear at
the Los Angeles next week.
ANNIE ABBOTT.
There was quite crowd of gentlemen
assembled in the Nadeau Office last even
ing, discussing the pros and cons, the
inability to send telegram, the wash
out between here and San Francisco,
but apparently the most interesting
"knot" was the one around the full-sheet
lithograph Of Annie Abbott. A rather
portly gentleman who saw the Little
Magnet, in Fresno, Friday night, was
very eloquent in trying to explain, in a
very able way, how the power Of force
was obtained. He said he attempted to
lift her, and in attempting he was
asked to hold her a moment, and when
she felt she was entirely enlarged" she
asked him to lift. and he did lift, but
not move could he make. He was
asked if he felt shock. NO." he said,
"but am positive could not use my
entire strength. In other words, she
somehow took my strength from me-"
He further explained that it was the
greatest phenomena he ever saw. Miss
Abbott opens her engagement in this
city on Thursday evening of this week,
at the Los Angeles theater.
THE SEA KING.
The people of Los Angeles will have a
treat in the way Of amusement tonight,
and for several succeeding nights at the
Grand. The attraction :is Stahll's Sea
King, comic opera rich in incident
and musical gems. The airs are of that
catchy nature sure to please the gem
eral gublic, while not wanting in ster-
ling qualities tor the benefit of those
who are critical in their tastes. The
sale of seats is good.
THE MUsEE.
Casual observation would convince
one that people are as eager to seek bar
gains in the amusement as well as com.
mercial line. The liberal patronage be-
slowed on the Dime Musee theater
