GRAND OPERA HovsE.-Last Night was
the initial performance Of Lawrence
Hsnley and the Grand opera house
stock company. Bronson Howsrd's
Eve act comedy, Saratoga, was the play
presented. The house was pretty well
filed. and while the audience was some-
what cold At first they warmed up as the
play progressed, and there were several
curtain calls. The company is large
one and includes several well known
people. For q fret night there were
very few bitches, and the play was well
pat on. There are a number OF anus
ing situations In Saratoga. 1t has no
motif other than to gently satirize the
follies of life 1T the famous watering
place, and the characters are intended
TO represent the type OF life met with

beaux furnish Q framework for the
author. and while not particularly

Los ANGELES THEATER.-The popular
farce comedians, Hallen and Hart, will
appear tonight in an entirely new play.
1t is said to be of finer grain and pur-
pose than their familiar exit, Later On.
There Is promised the same attractive
songs and music, with more abundant
and natural humor, and consistent
though airy story upon which to hang 1t
all. TIE story pivots on the helpless
maneuverings OF q well-intentioned old
fellow who is bursting with reform no.
tions. He ia the aggressive head of sew
eral law and order leagues and reform
most OF the time to elevate and purify
the local current OF social affairs. Mr..
Hart appears in the role OF an eccentric
Pennsylvanian, who has more wit than
wisdom, and is the humorous victim OF
every entangling circumstance. Mr..
Hallen's part is that of an ultra-fashion-
able sprig. whose years OF discretion
would not take much of q sum in arith'
metio, and whose most serious thoughts
of life are concentrated upon clothes and
the gentler sex.
BuRBANK THEArER.-J.J. Bowling and
Myra l.. Davis. supported by the Cooper
comps gave q most enjoyable pre-
sentation last night of the sensational
drama, A Kentucky Girl. The play is
strong one and calls for realistic re-
sources, which are we'll supplied by the
! management. The mechanical effects
| the scenery and the properties are al
very effective and we'll arranged.
The company is possibly the stronges
that has yet been seen at this popular
house, and was warmly greeted by th'
big audience that caused the S. K. U
sign to be hung out early in the evening
Added to the attraction OF the drami

Diana in the chameleon dance is one o
the prettiest sights one can imagine thu
Bison City qrartette and the comedian

evenings attractions.
