A ADJUSTMENTS.

Among the numerous organizations
which Col. J. H. Haverly managed dur
ing the years of his successful career,
never has he placed his name above
minstrel organization Of more merit
than that OF his present mammoth mas
todon minstrels. For twenty-eight
weeks during the present season this
company of laugh-provokers have
packed to the doors Haverly's hand
come house. the Casino, Chicago, with
two performances each day, feat never
before accomplished by any minstrel
combination on earth. A company that
could run for over 400 consecutive per-
formances in Chicago and continue to
draw large and fashionable audiences,
will stand on it's own merits, and we ex-
pect it to be the event of the season
here. The programme is replete with
the latest and beat music, With
cisms and jokes, for the first
part, and the finale is one of the
most delicious bits of burleRque that
has ever been presented. The bill is
the new burleeque, Bill Trovatore. The
company, as presented at the Grand
opera house three nights, commencing
Tuesday evening, July Goth, is the came

"Elwood," the male soprano, Harry
Constantine and many others of merit.
At o'clock p. M, or as near that hour
as possible, at the city park, Colonel

The Creole burlesque company opens
up this evening at the Los Angeles
theater with La Belle Creole or night
in the Tropics with Beauty Bright.
Probably the most perfect type Of
Creole beauty is la Belle Davis, whom
Sam L. Jack persuaded to leave her lux
urious tropical home. Miss Davis is q
tall, gueenly woman with large liquid
eyes and soft, jet black hair, white vel
vety complexion and perfect features,
and possesses form that is at once
voluptHous and exquisitely moulded.
She is charming artist, sings with
rich, musical voice and dances cleyerly
and gracefully. She possesses good
dramatic talent, and for woman whose
stage experience ,is 30 slight has
achieved remarkable success. Miss
Davis was reared on the Island of Mar
Unique. Her history ia tinged with
romance and her lite has been a poem.
From her childhood she was wor.
shipped for her beauty. She received
an excellent education and was the pet
of society at Martinique. Her voice
was thoroughly cultivated, and being a
born musician, she was in constant de-
mand at the social gatherings for which
Martinique is noted. Her rare accom-
plishments, combined with her match
less charms, to say nothing of her
womanly dignity and innate modesty,
made her conspicuous figure wherever
she moved. Sam 7. Jack considers
himself fortunate in securing Miss
Davis.
The actor who tears down the Ameri-
can flag in The Ensign had little ex-
perience during the production of the
play in Washington which was not very
pleasant. The men who represented

yard and were all tough old tars. One
Of them, an old fellow with tanned
and scared face, stood in the wings
watching the scene with intense interest.

accompanying curse upon the "d--d

made one jump for the actor, and with
a terrific yell which could be heard all.
