Los ANGELES THEATER.-The success.
full engagement of the Stuart Robson
company closed last night with Come
dy OF Errors. to large and very respon-
sive audience. They gave q delightful
performance OF this most charming
comedy. To many the Comedy OF Errors
is the most attractive OF the Shakes
pearian comedies, as 1t is the most nat
ural, drawing less upon the occult infiu-
ences which the bard delighted to weave
into them. The elements OF probability
are also preserved by him more
closely, even though his exquis-
lite fancy runs riot. lighting
up the characters and confusing thread
of the narrative with his rarest and
deftest touches. Stuart Robson's Dro-
milo OF Syracuse is a creation which has
long been the delight OF those who have
witnessed it, as we'll as the despair OF
those who have attempted to follow in
his footsteps. Mr. Wooderson's rendi-
ton OF the Dromio OF Ephesus was
very clever piece of work, recalling the
rendition OF Mr.. Crane in the halcyon
days when Mr.. Robson and ne gave such
great presentations OF the comedy. Mrs.
Robson as Adriana and Miss Grace
Franklyn Lynch as Luciano formed
as fair a picture in their quaint
costumes OF pure white as can we'll be
imagined, and gave an exceptionally
refined and dainty rendition OF their
respective roles. The audience became
very enthusiastic as the exquisite fooling
of the two Dromios and their masters
developed, and at the close Of the third
act the curtain was rung up twice.
William YeArance presented Aegeon
with much force In fact, the entire
company wac admirably fitted to insure
a smooth production. 1t was the last
OF very enjoyable engagement, the
memory of which will finger pleasantly
with those who we're so fortunate as to
be present at one or the other plays OF
the repertoire. The company will 60 to

The cast OF characters for the comedy
OF Saratoga, to be produced on Monday
next at the Grand opera house, indicates
that the performance will be in all
points creditable. 1t is underst TODD that
the scenic effects are of gorgeous char
acter. Mr.. Hanley is to be congratu lated
on his energy and pluck. and the fact OF
having such excellent artists should as
sure theater- going people that the Grand
opera house and the company will be a
success ere the first performance. A
very judicious and sensible move, in or
der to cope with the present hard times.
is the price OF admission, for Mr.. Hanley
has decided upon a moderate scale OF
prices, which will admit of all classes
having an opportunity of seeing great
performances.

A small but appreciative audience
convened at the Grand opera house last
night, at an entertainment given by
Miss Rhs Lorraine, a very beautiful
woman and fairly clever eloeutionist,
who recitsd Joaquin Millsr's poem of
the Sioux Chiefs Daughter and Lasea,
in a charming style; Stuart Taylor sang
A Son OF the Desert Am I, in excellent
manner, and then came Miss Ethel
Stewart in a selection of airs from
Ernain, in which she acquitted herself
very creditably. but just at this period,
when her voice ia changing, she should
not make too much use Of it. Miss
Lorraine is a young lady with a future.
A little more dramatic study will help
her we'll along on the road to fame and
