Los ANGELES THEATER.-PRtti Rosa
showed her ability last night to make
silly, dreary play go we'll. She APP
peared in the title role Of Miss Dixie.
and proved herselfto be just as versatile
and accomplished as ever. Her voice ia
equal to the requirements of the popu-
lar songs she gives, while her presence
on the stage ia characterized by most
entertaining vivacity and specialties
which are exceedingly clever.
Mics Rosa ia ably seconded in her
efforts by Mr.. Bert Coote IS ga nom
descTipt." and Mr. Joe CawthorD as
'Max Weisner," German character.
The play itself is not worthy the
name it is burdened with quantity of
supposed serious scenes which serve no
purpose except that of boring the audi
ence. However, whenever Miss Rosa,
Mr.. Coote or Mr.. Cawthorn are on the
stage their cleveEness inspires the audi
ence with good nature, and the result ia,
on the whole, most pleasing perform
ance.
Miss Rosa is especially excellent in
her songs Shooting Craps and The Mid
way. OF the latter there is too little; a
half-a-dozen more verses would be most
acceptable.
Miss Dixie will be repeated this even
ing and the engagement will close to-
morrow night with Dolly Warden.

BURBANK THEATER.-Everyone who
enjoys good laugh at good honest fun
should visit this theater this week.
One OF the Bravest, which fills the
bill for six nights and a matinee, is
hardly a work OF literary merit, but
under the lead OF Mr.. Mccarthy. serves
it's purpose in amusing Mr.. Cooper's
audiences.
The play contains a realistic fire
scene, which alone should crowd the
theater. This set would be credit to
any thester. A real fire engine, blaz.
ing house, and the heroine sliding down
a rope, set the large audience wild last
night, and their enthusiasm was un-
bounded.
William Cronin and Dan Creelan, two
capable Irish comedians. worked hard,
and kept the ball OF fun rolling all the
evening, and one of the biggest hits WAS
made by Walter Talbot, who Gang Two
Little Girls in Blue in such manner as
to evoke three encores.
Take it all in all. the performance last
night was highly amusing and ex-
citing entertainment. 1t is the most
tions, and deserves the public'E patron
age.
