AMUSE EMENTS.

Los ANGELES IHEATER. AleXan-
der Salvini fairly entranced his audience
last evening with The Three Guards
men. Dumas immortal work does not
lend itself easily to the requirements of
the stage, and the best that can be done
with it is drama of three tableaux.
The part OF D'Artsgnan, however, is
one which possesses so much that is in
spring, is so imbued with all the nobler
qualities of haman nature, that it be-
comes the very type of romantic hero's
role, and accordingly affords Mr.. Salvini
full slope for his wonderful power of
personatipg the characters which three
or four hundred years ago were heroes.
Miss Berolde made most queenly
queen, and was ably seconded by the
charming Miss Maud Dixon rs Con-
stance. There would be adverse criti-
cism for the rest of the support were it
not that Mr.. Salvini's ability made such
an enjoyable performance that fault
finding would be hypercritism.

ton OF an English version of the play
was given by Salvini in San Francisco
last week, and according to the Chroni-
Gle it was the most artistic performance

will be followed by Cavaleria Rusti-

more effective than is that of the opera.
All the beautiea and striking scenes
which are lost in the opera are brought
out in The dramatic version, and one can
readily imagine il Salviai, with his fire
