The wishes of the press and public,
who had the pleasure OF witnessing the
artistic performances of Lawrence Han
lev and his talented wife, Edith Lem
inert, four weeks ago, will be more than
gratifed Easter Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings and Wednesday
matinee, to witness their temperance,
Mr.. Hanley as Hamlet and Shylock and
Miss Lemmert as Ophelia and Portis, in
the entire play OF Hamletand the entire
play of the Merchant OF Venice, at the
New Los Angeles thester.
The last time Mr.. Booth appeared on
the stage was at Rochester, n. Y. Dur
ing the play he was stricken with paral-
ysie and Lawrence Hanley, the pupil OF
both Booth and Barrett, taking up the
cue, completed the evenings entertain
ment. The same thing happened in the
case of Lawrence Barrett, vino WAS play
ing Richelieu in New York. He, like
Mr.. Booth, was taken suddenly ill dur
ing the evening and Hsnley stepped
into his place. In these emergencies he
proved himself master OF the legitimate
drama. Tutored thus by such great
artists, ana having been the leading
support of Mines. Modjesks, Minns
Gale Haynes, Margaret Mather, it legit-
imately entities him to be placed in the
foremost rank of our American TRACE
dians.
Shakespearesn art has found in Law
renee Hsnley en- acknowledged and sue
cessful artist to don the mantle doffed
by the great departed trRgedisns. Han
ley's tour through the east and south
last year earned for him the reputation
OF great trsgedisn. Los Angeles will
witness a Hamlet next Monday night
that will he pleasantly remembered.
Edith LemmsrG, to judge from the
success she met with as The leading lady
in Lawrence Hanley's company in the
east and south. is an eminently gifted
actress. Her Ophelia, it is expected,
will be very artistic aud will rank high.

Charles Comelli's Japanese Novelty
company will be the attraction at the
Burbank theater this week. The sue
cess OF the company last week induced
Manager Cooper to engage them for an
other week. The little boys with the
troupe have become great fsvoritee with
the Burbank patrons. These clever lit
tie performers enjoy their work and are
as playful behind the scenes and at re-
hearsRls as kittens. Tbs older members
Of the troupe are the best that could
possibly be obtained in Japan at the
time Dir. Comelli organized his COM
psny, and are without doubt tho best
company that has ever appeared before
an AmerieGn audience. Manager Cooper
is to be congratulated on securing this
attraction. The amusement loving peo.
pie of Los Angeles should turn out in
force to witness their marvellous per-
formance. An entire change OF pro-
gramme is promised, with new startling
acts. The Japs should do big weeks
business before they start on their tour
around the world.
