The herald., 1894-05-27

introduced to the interior of an artists
stndio, where a young American, Jack
Desmond and his two sisters. Nsra and
Kate, are studying art. They are
brought in contact with the Rogers
family and also with the young man
Dave Hardy, who has followed his lost
love, Esmeralda, across the sea and is
ultimately reduced to the state OF desti-
tuition in Paris. The mother is about
marrying her daughter to certain
needy French marquis for the sake OF
his title, but her schemes are brought
to a sudden termination by the rebellion
of her hitherto meek daughter and her
docile husband, and also by the dis.
covery that the vein OF iron ore on which
their fortune was built has suddenly
worked out but has turned up on the
adjoining farm OF the despised lover,
Dave Hardy, who is therefore million
aire. This brings matters to a salts
factory conclusion.
The fact of the production being for
the benefit of the X. 0. I. M. Banner
Tent No. 81 should insure a crowd being
present at the box Office tomorrow morn
ing when the sale of seats and boxes will
begin.
Quite number of well-known ladies
are making arrangements for benefit
to be given at the Los Angeles thester
the latter part of June, for the News
and Workingboys' home.
A committee consisting OF the follow
ing ladies has the matter in charge, and
are working vigorously to make the
event success: Mines. Finney, Boigt,
Gillette, Threlkeld, w. J. Carey, Bosby-
shell. Forester, J. B. Brown, Brainard
Smith and Mrs. DIR. Sinsabaugh.

grand productions of Wallace's romantic
opera, Mariana. in which the best
musical talent in the city will appear.

Mueller, the great baritone, will be in
the cast. There will be grand chorus
of 60 voices, under the leadership of

fully costnmed, and an augmented or
chestra will lend to the brillisncy OF the
musical ensemble. Rehearsals will begin
during the coming week, and the entire
production will be under the capable
direction of Nine. Fabbri-Muellen As

of the Newsboys' home, there is no
doubt but that the two evening and one
matinee performances will be largely
attended.

Nobody's Claim will be presented at
the Burbank during the coming week.
This is said to be the strongest play in
Mr.. Dowling's repertoire. IL was writ
ten for him over 10 years ago and has
made for him a handsome fortune. 1t
is sensational in the extreme. but unlike
the ordinary dramas OF that kind,
possesses great literary merit. The
comedy vein ia very strong and is sure to
be relished by those who enjoy good
hearty laugh. DR.. Bowling VINO created
such a favorable impression last week,
will appear as the hero and pretty Myrs
Davis will take the part of Madge,
and sing the The Song for Ne and Mary
Lamb. They will be supported by
George Woodthorpe, Carl BeEch, Wal
ter Hodges and the entire Cooper COM

fects will be on the scale characteristic
Of the Burbank, including the most ex-
citing and realistic fire scene ever wit
messed in Los Angeles, and the snow
scene at Bitterwood Gut, ON the Union
Pacific railroad. Nobody's Claim will
be given the entire week, with maj
inee on Saturday, and special holiday
matinee on Decoration day.
