THEATRICAL NOTES.

Los ANGEsEs THEATER. - Notwith-
standing the fact the "Father of His
Country" was not born in Dunedin or a
the 'Clachsn of Aberfoil," the Caledo.
MAN residents of this city gave very
agreeable and pleasing concert last
night. The programme was varied
one, the most attractive singers were
Mr.. Harry Reeves and Mrs. Hance-
! Ovens, the latter of whom appeared to
greater advantage than on any recent
occasion. The propriety of introducin 8
II Segreto at Scotch concert might be
questioned by some, but when one re-
fleets that the authors father was q
Scotchman named Donald lett, the sc.
lection was not SO malapropos, after al I.
Mrs. Ovens rich and mellow contralto
fairly revealed in the Brindisi, that gave
fame to Marie Alboni, Adelaide Phillips
and Schalci, and for an encore she sang
Sam Lovers old Irish ditty Of the Low
Backed Gar.
Mr.. Reeves was in high form and
trained to the hour. He sang the Scots
Wha Haze, and gave Calm As the Night
for an encore, with his niece Miss Kav-
anaugh), as accompanies. His secoud
number was The Viking, which he rem
dered in a style worthy of Santley In
his best days. The whole programme
was beautifully executed, and the Gale
DOMAIN club degerve great credit for it.
OF all the old-time favorite actors,
there is not one better known or better
liked than ohm Dillon. Although nearly
go years of age, Mr.. Dillon retains all
all his powers to make people laugh
and is as lively and young in looks and
action as many men half his age. He
viii be at the Los Angeles theater on
Friday and Saturday evenings, when he
will be seen in his new play, A Model
Husband, assisted by competent COM
pany.
GRAND OPERA HoUsE.-On Tuesday
evening, February 2sth, the engagement
OF the Lilliputians begins at the Grand
opera house, and the heavy advance
sale Of seats promises splendid en-
gagement. The little people are n ,t
new to Los Angeles, but some of the
specialties they will introduce are both
new and novel. Their opening attrac-
ton, Candy, comes we'll recommended
from the east and San Francisco. Franz
Ebert, the funny little comedian, has
better opportunities than ever to dis
play his cleverness. Miss Ida Mahr. the
soubrette. sings several songs in Eng
lish, and agile Adolph link, the smallest
of all the small men, portrays several
types of American street life.
Sixty people in all have crossed the
continent with the company. Included
in this number are grown-up actors,
singers and dancers. The ballet, it is
said, will be especially good. The
midgets will give Candy matinee
Wednesday and Friday, as we'll as Sat-
urday matinee, and in the evening they
will produce their excellent comic opera,
The Dwsrfs' Wedding.
