Mauue Orauger playeu luneIlueO last

the following cast:

Louise Helens child .......... Little Charlotte
Helen Carruthers. ers................. Miss Granger
Miss Granger is at once by the specta-
tor put side by side with Clara Morris,
with whom a comparison instantly sug-
gests itself, as both affect that very dis.
agreeable, but always popular branch OF
the drama termed emotional. Not en-
tering into discussion as to what Miss
Morris may have been, there is no ques-
ton but what Miss Granger is today the
superior of the two. She is painstaking
to remarkable degree, not a single
little bit of acting being neglected
which will add to the effect of the whole.
She plays the part OF Helen Oarruthers
with force that produces O painful de-
gree of sympathy in the spectator. No
one who has ever seen her gradually
merge from the lovely, loving woman to
the gibbering, hideous maniac. will ever
forget the picture. The power of her
acting gets hold of ones heart and tears
it, and plays with reckless fingers upon
ones sensibilities, until one leaves the
theater gaspipg for little happiness to
produce reaction from the resulting
gloom. Her work is perfect throughout,
her person is fascinating in its beauty,
her conception of her role faultless.
Miss Granger's supporting company
is good in quality. Mr.. Mestayer has
the part he had when the star last ap-
peared here, and plays it well, though
he has the same fault he then showed,
that of too rapid enunciation. Mr..
Handyside, who was here last with Mr..
Fred Warde, does most commendable
work.
The Miss Jessie Wyatt in the cast is
Miss Jessie Barchas, who spent some
time here with MIR. and Mrs. Harry
Wyatt, while she attended Hanna col
lege.
Camille is billed for tonight, the Gre
ole Saturday night, and Inherited for
the Saturday matinee.

John 7. Kelly and Florrie West could
keep theater full of people delighted
without any help; in U & l., where
they have fairly good support, any
body who cannot enjoy their perform
ance needs treatment OF iron, quinine
and pepsin.
Gus Williams is sadly missed from the
company, it is true. He played Profes-
sor Ungerbotz in faultless way, max
ing it we'll rounded piece of artistic
character work. Dutch DAILY, who now
has the role, is excellent IN his special
ties, but lacks the histrionic talent Of
Williams.
FIourie West is what gallery god
would call "a daisy" She is not ex-
actly pretty, and is very far from pos
sessing the plumpness which is consd-
cred necessity for a sou ubrette, but she
puts vigor, sprightliness, and an oc-
casional dash OF fetching wickedness in
her work, which at once wins for her the
audience. That unspeakably tall of body
and thin of limb young man, Mr.. Wal
ton, still plays Percy Van Aster, and
doubles in number of specialties.
Miss Estee is the "Mlle. Vermicelli' of
the company and looks SO pretty that
she can be forgiven for not singing like
a prima donna. The girls are satlsfac-
tory as to symmetry, and do the feather
duster dance with grace, and Amy
Angeles, very small damsel, does
some difficult toe dancing of the old
time ballet premiere style.
People who like farce comedy will be
more than pleased with "You and l."
1t keeps one smiling, chuckling, or guf-
fawing from start to finish and that is
what your comedies are made for.

That w. T.. Carleton's Opera company
has found favor in the eyes-or rather
ears-of the music lovers Of Los Angeles
was evidenced yesterday when the sale
of seats for their engagement at the
Grand opera house next week opened.
The repertoire for the week is: Mon.
day, Wednesday and Saturday nights,
Indigo; Tuesday night and Saturday
matinee, The Gondoliers; Thursday
night, Dorothy, and Friday night, Nanon.
Ls Grippe!
The tendency of this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous
La grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as a severe cold. Chamber
