ADJUSTMENTS.

This evening the Conreid Opera COM
pany will commence an engagement of
three nights at the opera house, in the
production OF Poor Jonathan, a compo-
sition by Millocker, writer of most
tuneful operas.
The reputation of Mr.. Conreid as
producer is very high, and judging by
past engagements his companies have
played here, the public may expect
pleasing, complete production.
The affair is said to be new in many
of the features-in one particularly, in
that the performers wear evening cos
tunes. The music has been highly
commended.
Now Los Angeles is to have season,
two seasons of opera. Most all theater
goers recall with pleasure the engage
ment of the Juch company here a year
or 80 ago, and the most enjoyable per-
formances they gave and the splendid
business they did. The company was a
remarkably strongone and it's accessories
were satisfactory. If the performances
now equal those of the past, Mr.. Locke
can be assured of a profitable engage
ment.
The company will give Tannhauser
for the first time here on the night OF
the 21st. The cast will be as follows:
Hermann, Landgrave of Thuringa ........
...........-............ Joseph Rublo.

The management claim that the cos
tunes and properties are in all respects
the very finest to be had.

| Mr.. Donald Downie gave an illus
trated lecture at the Los Angeles theater
last evening on Japan, which was found
entertaining by the audience. His
stereopticon viws are very beautiful and
we'll worth seeing, while his running
comment seems to be based on actual
experience and observation. He will
continue the lectures through the week.

Next Friday night Damon and
Pythias will be presented at the Pasa-
dena opera house for the benefit of the
director, Mr.. Laurie. by the Laurie
Dramatic club. D. H. Burks, who ap-
rears as Dionysius, will undoubtedly be
| rendered handsome reception by his
many society friends here.

All the ladies in Los Angeles will be
delighted to hear that Mrs. Annie Jen-
ness Miller will give one of her lectures
at the new Los Angeles theater on Mon
day afternoon, March 2lst. An eastern
paper has the following to say of Mrs.
Miller:
1t is rare thing for lecturer to be
greeted with an audience such as Mrs.
Jenness Miller encountered. The ladies
were of the most substantial and culti-
waited classes; not only the so-called
Society" but the literary women of the
city were present, drawn partly by curl
osity, but mainly to learn. The curtain
was raised, and Mrs. Miller was intro
duced to the audience. She was to be
envied. She is of exquisite figure, and
seemed especially adapted for the busi-
ness in hand. The robes displayed by
Mrs. Miller were simply unique and
gorgeous. There can be no doubt that
with figure so full of good points as
Mrs. Miller's is, the new dress looks
admirable. The lecture was instructive
