chiefs while Washington, impersonated
by Mr.. Curtis d. Wilbur, enters with

dered wigs, knee breeches and many
ribbons. After Washington comes W
q. Stone and Mrs. f. E. Ney as John
and Mrs. Adams and F. e. New as La

lowed the scene of what will perhaps be
the last of the entertainment, The
Court Of Isabella. Miss Coral a. Harri-
son as Isabella and Prof George A.
Hough as Christopher Columbus as
sumo their roles with great dignity, and
MIR. Don A. Judd as King Ferdinand,
the lords and ladies, monks and pages
show, favor or disapproval OF the scheme
OF the visionary enthusiast, but the
queen pledges her Jewels and the cur
tain falls.
The hospital scenes are exceedingly
impressive, bringing back the old, sad
days OF the civil war. The colored jubi-
lee furnishes relaxation from the pathos
OF these hospital tableaux. rhe grand

B. Leavitt'a new and popular apectac-
ular production, Spider and Fly, will be
seen at the Los Angeles theater for four
nights, beginning next Sunday evening,
with manifold novelties and host OF
talented performers. The large COM
pany was mostly recruited abroad,
though several of the favorites of last
seasons company have been retained.
There are 60 people in the organization.
Since last season the play has been
entirely rewritten. But in the new
shape it contains more interest, humor
and probabilities for the display of spe-
cialties, ballets, sumptuous costumes
and superb scenery. While parteking
of many parts of the drama, Spider and
Fly is great in all. Nothing on a small
scale has been accepted, from an artist
to dress.
Symmetrical young women encasedin
dazzling armor perform intricate evo
lutions. In the ballets are given rare
illustrations of the poetry of motion.
The vocal music is made up of solos,
duets, trios, qusrtettes and sextets.
Every scene is Kaleidoscope scene of
rare beauty, varying from marches to
ballets, from vaudeville to pantomime
tricks. Several features have been
added, including the famous French
quadrille by four female eccentric dane
ers. Hilda Thomas, the well-known
protean artist, and Louise Royce, late
primn donna of the Tar and Tarantella
company, are recent additions to the
company. The Sensational Gavette and
Tarantella dancers, by the imported
Alhambra ballet, are among the many
specialties introduced.

sumed by Professor Stamm commencing

geles theater. Mr.. and Mrs. Modini-
Wood will sing, and Mr.. Hamilton will
play violin solo.

mirable series organized by Professor
Stsmm, promises to exceed in quality
even the first one, which delighted all
who we're present.
