Los ANGELES THEATER. - very
crowded house greeted Frederick Warde,
Louis James and their company last
night on the occasion OF the production
of Julius Caesar. Although the thester
was thus well filled. however, few of the
familiar faces of the first nighters we're
recognized among the audience. This
was due probably more TO the presence
OF go many strangers in Los Angeles
than disinclinAtion on the part OF our
own lovers of tragedy to see Messrs.
Wards and James in the parts OF Marcus
Antonius and Marcus Brutus, in which
they have so successfully appeared for
merly on the boards OF our theaters.
Mr.. Louis James as Brutus was great,
his impaseionsd acting and his we'll
modulated voice drawing again and
again the applause from those who had
the privilege OF seeing him in one of his
grandest parts. Mr.. Frederick Warde,
too, in the forum scene, where by his
ineiduous speech he changes tie feel
ings of hate of the Roman populace
against the murdered Caesar to one of
veneration of his memory, and turns
the tide of popularity against Marcus
Brutus and his henchman, was admir-
able. Indeed, the scenes in the senate
chamber and in the forum were rem
dered by tie two talented trsgsdians
and their support in such a manner that
nothing iess than several recalls would
satisfy those present. Mr.. Werde came
forward at the end OF the fourth act
and in few we'll chosen words thanked
the audience for its kind reception. Mr..
Stephen Wright portrayed a grand and
most artistic ulius c esar, but he emed
to be suffering from bad cold. His
acting. however, was very good. and he
succnmbed to the stabs of his assassins
! in most tragic manner. Miss Florence
Everett as Portia in the garden scene
| before the house of Brutus was the re-
cipient Of some warm applause. Mr.
! Charles D. Herman was an i'm passioned
| Caius Cassius. although it might not be
amiss to mention that the rapidity of his
speech mars to a certain extent this
! beauty OF his lines.
Tonight this excellent company OF
traRedians will give Francesca da Rimini,
at which a very crowded house is as
sured.
There WAS an impromptu concert ar
ranged by the guests of the Ramona on
Tuesday evening consisting of the fol-
lowing programme:

Quincv and Miss Griyer.

| Piano salo-Aiss BLcn.
| RecitatioRs by one of he guests.

Mr.. Cowan responded to an encore
with The Tar's Farewell. His selections
exactly suited his deep, clear bass voice,
and later he gave, by request. with
fne effect. O. Fair Dove; ., Fond Dove.
Mrs. F. II. Evans, of Council Bluffs,
charmed the audience with her full, rich
contralto, and on being recalled, sang
charming Scotch melody.
Miss Bach's piano solo called forth
loud applause.
The evening closed with dancing.
