ably take place. Those proposing to

ADJUSTMENTS.

The aim of show like the Twelve
Temptations is to entertain and amuse.
There is no pretense at dramatic work
of high order, and the performance
should not be judged from too elevated
a point of view.
The company at the opera house last
evening opened to a large and cold
audience, but before the first act was
over the great improvement in the
piece noticeable since its last presenta-
ton here had its effect, and applause
was hearty and frequent, until the fall
OF the curtain on the final scene.
There are number of very clever
speciality people in the cast. Notable
among these is Delhaur, the 'human
frog" as he is styled. He does
really wonderful contortion act,
in which the effect is greatly
added to by costume max
ing him the fac-simile OF a great
frog. The juggler, George D. Melville,
has none of the time-worn slight Of hand
tricks on his list, but relies entirely on
clever balancing and skilliul surprises.
Miss Mamie Conway and Mr.. Connolly
do very clever song with parenthetiC
funny business. Miss Conway is a
shapely young woman, who possesses
enough of that quality, popularity known
as freshness" to make her very effec.
tive in her role OF Brighteyes.
The ballet is composed of girls mostly
youthful and graceful, who are well
trained and supplied with very rich cos.
tunes. The premieres are skillful, and
the whole ballet is very commendable
saving only Monsieur Chiado, who is un.
doubtedly a very accomplished dancer
but the male ballet dancer has been in
obscurity for score of years, and he
should not be revived. He is not all fin
de steele.
The scenery is good, and all in all the
performance is well worthy of liberal
patronage. stG
Los Angeles herald., 1891-07-24

The HERALD some time ago called at
tention to the fact that when the new
charter was being incubated an offer was
made from the Chinese gamblers OF
$1,000 week, or 1000 year, if pro-
vision were inserted in that instrument
legalizing the Chinese games. 1t is be-
lieved that these games are running
now, and that the large sums that were
rendered are being paid now to some
body. Who is receiving them? 1t is
true that we have an occasional munich
pal coup de theatre from the police office,
which takes the form of running the
players of fan tan or lottery game in,
but this is believed by many citizens to
be mere cloak. In fact, we have heard
it intimated that three persons are the
bene6ciares of the enormous amounts
the Chinese are undoubtedly willing to
put up for immunity from punishment
and practical liberty to run their games.
If these games are to be allowed to run
anyhow, it would be far better that the
city treasury should benefit by this
money than that it, or any part of it,
should go into the hands of individuals! !!
