Clara Morris and Patti Rosa to Appear
at the Grand = Bill's Boot
Booked at tho Los
Angeles.

Patti Rosa comes to the Grand Opera
house next Friday and Saturday even
ings and for saturday matinee per-
formance. She will be seen in two plays
that are wholly new here, Dolly Warden
and Miss Dixie, and they are said to be
the best this little artist has ever had
in her repertory. They are bright, lively
and humorous and are presented
in a thoroughly excellent manner.
Patti Rosa's company is one OF
the very best ever organized for
similar work and is especially strong in
comedy and vocal features. Its mem
bership includes Joe Cawthorn, whose
work as Dutch comedian and whose
playing of the concertina cannot be ex.
celled; Maurice Darcy, clever young
comedian, who has trained baritone
voice; Gerald Griffin, Edgar s. Halstead
David r. Young, Edgar Weir, Florence
Ashbrooke, Carrie Francis, Fannie K.
Jacobs and others. Dolly Warden will
be played Friday night and Sat-
urday matinee, and Miss Dixie
Saturday night. Patti Rosa
has a full line Of new and charac-
teristic songs, and in conjunction with
Cawthorn and Darcy will introduce a
number of singing and dancing features.
An item of especial interest in con-
nection with the engagement will be the
giving of a $40 gold piece to the boy or
girl who forms the largest list of words
from the letters in the name Patti Rosa

The last performances that Clara
Morris will give in this city are an
nounced at the Grand opera house next
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Her
farewell to Los Angeles will be character
lied by the production OF two absolutely
new plays to admirers here. On Tuesday
evening she will give her portrayal Of
Odette, the masterpiece of the great
French playwright. sardou. On Wednes-
day evening her own adaptation from the
German, Claire. will be given. This play
must not be confounded with Ohnet's
Glare and the Forgemaster, as in
plot, theme or construction there
is no similarity. The Claire of
Clara Morris is play for women.
The sentiment appeals exclusively to
them and is powerful argument
against the social laws, whose trans.
gression is condemned in women and
condoned'in men. Both plays abound
in situations calling for the display of
those qualities for which Miss Morris is
noted. Plays of intense feeling belong
to Clara Morris, for only in her hands
can they be 80 superbly realistic.
Among the company this season is Mr.
Chas. Vogelsang, formerly of this city,
who under the name of Cnss. Vining is
making rapid strides as an actor. Mr..
Vogelsang is entrusted with good roles
with Miss Morris and is advancing rap
idly in his profession.
Charles E. Schilling's minstrels, who
appear at the Grand for one night only
(tomorrow), are spoken OF as follows, by
the Daily Journal OF Dayton, Ohio:
Before 8 O'Clock last evening every seat
in the balcony and the gallery of the
Grand was sold, and nearly the entire
floor was taken by the time the curtain
rose for the performance given by Chas.
E. Schilling's minstrels. The perform
ance was by far the best given by any
minstrel company in this city for long
time, and the audience was kept in roars
of laughter by the eide. splitting jokes of
the funny men. The stage settings were
elaborate, the costumes gorgeous, and
the tout ensemble made most pleasing
effect.
