The herald., 1894-02-25

Mr.. Fabian is one of the worlds great
elocuticnists, and it will be long time
before we shall listen to his like again.
Announcements.
In very short time we are to have
Gilbert and Sullivan's charming comic
opera Patience presented to us at the
Los Angeles theater in such q complete
manner as to compare most favorably
With the best travelling organizations
There are two good reasons for this /:
One is that the voices as a whole are
DETER and the other that Mr.. G. NJ.
fyke, gentleman of wide experience in
such matters, will be responsible for the
production. Those who NAV think thew
are going to witness raw amateur per-
formsnce will in this respect be disap-
pointed. as a clever professional per-
Torrance is in store for them, When
the curtain is rung up in the first act OF
fAtleRca most pleasant surprise will
greet the listeners.
The cast will be an exceptionally
strong ono, as it contains a few pro-
fessionals of acknowledged artistic sbil-
ity. The costuming will be pretty and
correct. The orchestra, which will be
augmented for this occasion. will be
under the personal direction OF Mr..
Pyke, which will insure confidence to
the performers and a pleasure to the
audience. Nothing will be spared to
make this a performance of light opera
long to be pleasantly remembered bv
those who may be present on the occs-
sion. 1t is the intention to put this
opera In immediate rehearsal, so as 10
keep the intereetup and it is to be hoped
that this performance will be most lib.
orally patronized, both on Mr.. Pyke's
account and those who are interesting
themselves so sincerely.
So
Los ANGELES THRATER.-In the DAYS
OF burlesque. broad farce comedies and
the general bluff and bluster of the stage
IL 10 q relief to turn to something novel,
especially il the novelty is funny. All
the vast majority of those who go to the
theater do go to be amused--to laugh,
and Tor the time being forget the cares
OF this work-s-day world. In the Scan
dlnavian dialect comedy, Ole Olson,
which is the attraction on Friday and
Saturday, there is presented a dialect
character which was unknown to the
stage only few seasons ago. "Ole,"
the Swsde, who "haf bane ia desc ken |
try wane yare, TENT. mont and saxe I,
wake is delightfully."- modest man |
nere-who is not like the Irish come
dlsn-evsrlastingly prsting for the love
of his native land, whose mistakes are
genuinely lRugheble and not an imita-
hon OF that outrageous liable, the we'll
Known German stage clown. We like
Ole Olson," and we follow him through
he pretty little comedy with real inter
'st. Amusement lovers will be glad to
NOW that this wonderfully successful
omedy will be presented by company
i well-known comedians, including
'Oie's' brather, Olaf, who is % years
Id and only Sc inches in height.
