Los ANGELES THRATRR.--The Prodiga
Father, which will be given its initial
performance in this city on Thursday
evening, is spoken of as very pleasing
entertainment. The company is COM
posed of some of the best known people,
such as George Denham, Blanche Chap
man and many others of equal note.
The fact that the company comes under
the management of Messrs. Jefferson,
Klaw and Erlanger is sufficient guar
antee of ite merits.
Carmencita, the great Spanish dams
euse and typical Spanish beauty, 10 also
a member of the company, and will
during the evening" amuse the public
with some OF her most popular dances.
A large audience attended the con-
cert of the Ideal Guitar and Banjo club
last night. The programme was not
too long and in several instances was
meritorious. The club was assisted by
outside talent. As it was tolerant
audience the crudities in several of the
selections were kindly received. Mar
taneaux overture, by Vernet, and
Beauty waltzes, by Armstrong, the
double opening by the entire club was
we'll given.
The selection, loves Dream After the
Ball. by Czibulka. rendered by Messrs.
o. H. Boye and @. S. De Lano, was
robbed of much of its beauty by an in
juditious and loud rendition of the
guitar accompaniment on the part of
Mr.. De Lano.
Joseph Rubo sang several times dur
ing the evening. The Trumpeter was
given smoothly, but lacked sufficient
power. His other songs were Cans't
thou Believe Giordani and Wake Not
But Hear Me Alone, Osgood.
Miss Huldah Danison appeared but
once upon the programme. Her selec-
tion was the gavotte from Mignon. The
lady has very penetrating voice and
seemed to experience no difficulty in
making herself heard. This selection
resembled an imitation of a Chinese
song more than anything else. She
was rapturously encored however.
Professor De Lano's selection, mill
tary galop. was given with as much
spirit aH is possible on banjo.
The other selections by the club we're
generally well played and were Valse La
Trojani, Smith, Tambour Blatant,
Chenet, and the Wayfarer. waltz by
Stewart. This latter was the poorest in
strumental selection on the programme.
The most enjoyable selection. and the
one to which the banjos seemed to be
the best adapted were Bohemian dance,
by Mrs. 1. M. Gleason, Mrs. G.. A.
Hough, Misses E. M. Windheim A. r.
Omsley, A. B. Jones, Maude Hill and
B, Rifenberick and characteristics,
in andante and allegro. by Messrs.
r. w. Whomes, G. A. eHough, L. D.
Youngworth, @. s. De Lano, G.. Hill, F.
w. Lichtenthaler, and Z. Hill. Both
being most excellently given.

initial of series of lectures to he de-
livered in the city this week by the dis
tinguished traveller and lecturer, Mr.. III.
H. Ragan. The talk was upon Paris,
the magnificent, and was illustrated with
etereoptcon views. Mr.. Ragan makes
no attempt at rhetorical flights but
talks to the point The lecture
is go modelled as to often cause
the listener to think that
he is strolling in Paris and is viewing its
wonders. Many of, the principal points
of that city are shown and many OF the
characteristics of the city and those of
it's people discussed. The views are all
exceptionally fine and are taken from
photographs made by Mr.. Ragan.
The lecture is all that is represented,

tainment of the kind ever presented to q
