Some local theater ought to put on
The Long Strike now. rhst is play
that would be appreciated, under the
circumstances.
Madame Modissks was crested by
large audiences ct each of her three
appearances last week. a. Rosalind. and
she deserved all the plsudits aud COM
mendasions she received. Good &C.
tresees are llks wins.
The performance of the Baldwin and
hall. yesterday afternoon, Was very
Pronounced success.
-.
Mr.. Frank Conant lie again in the city
and has wardrobe that is worth N ore
than many OF Worth's finest creations.
Mr.. Conant ia one of the most amiable
as we'll 90 talented managers, and has
achieved well deserved high reputa-
ton.
Some men have all the pleasures OF
good luck, success and good looks. Vide
Manager Henry Wyatt. who has re-
ceived handsome legacy recently.

Miss Bernice Holmes will sing the
contralto role in Manager Pyke's pro.
duction of the Queens Lace Handker-
chief. Mrs. Hance- Owens declined the
part as it would entail the donning OF
tights, an experience she did not care to
20 through with here.
Miss Holmes made such a hit in the
small part OF the Prince in Cinderella
recently that her appearance will be
looked for with great interest. She can
sing and can act, and looks most attract
i've in doubet and hose, so there is
every indication that che will make q
decided success.
Mr.. Pyke assures me that there will
not be even a suspicion of any amateur
feature in the production OF The Lace
Handkerchief or the operas to follow.
The company will be one of profession
ale, disciplined and trained. This will
be welcome news for thsater goers here
abouts who class amateurs and bores
together.
The week has passed without any
story about new theater being built.
Some imaginative people must be weary
ing OF their parts.
Announcements.
Manager Cooper of the Burbank will
celebrate Fourth OF July week by giving
grand spectacular production of Web
stsr & Rrady's Bottom of the Sea, with
George P. Webster as the Greek adven-
turer. W. A. Brady, now famous
througho ut the world as a theatrical
manager, owes much of his success to
M. Webster, who, in the outset Of the
formers managerial career, was associ-
ated with him. The partnership con-
tinued for years, and both gentlemen
acquired fame and fortune. The Bottom
OF the Sea will afford the excellent
scenic artist OF the Burbank an oppor-
tunity of illustrating the full meaning
of Gray's immortal line, Full many a
gem of purssJ ray serene the dark, un-
fathomed depths of ocean bear" The
mechanical effects will approach the
marvellous, and the struggle between
the monster octopus and the submarine
diver lin q hundred fathoms Deep"
with beautiful fishes, sea sepents and
scaly monsters as spectators, will be
spectacle long to be remembered. Mr..
Webster will be supported by MISS Ca
mile Cleveland, an excellent actress
and singer, Mr. Norval McGregor and
the reorganized Cooper Stock company.
During the action of the play Hastings
d Marion will introduce their new idea.
On the Road to Ruin. Ed Latelle will
give his musical entertainment, Bill and
l, and Frank Cotton and Carrie Win
chell will appear in pleasing sketch in
which Miss Winchell will execute her
skipping rope dance. The Bottom OF
the Sea will run the entire week, with
two mstinees, July 4th and Saturday.
Mr.. G. NJ. Pyke for the past two weeks
has been hard at work rehearsing his
professional company for a season OF
light opera to be given at the Los Ange-
les thester shortly. The first work to be
produced will be Johann Strauss's mas.

catchy waltz music, OF which Strauss is
acknowledged the king. And to add to
its attractiveness it will be costumed
deliberately and correctly, which means
not in an amateur way. Following the
Lace Handkerchief. there will be grand
production of new opera entitled, Bluff
King Hal, for which Mr.. Forest Seabury
has been engaged to paint some elabo-
rate and special scenery. The costum.
ing will also be very elaborate and char
acteristic of old English. This work is
by II. ]. Stewart of San Francisco, and
was produced at the Grand opera house
in that city with phenomenal success.
The prices for the special season OF opera
will be at popular rates.
