Germany theater, New York. will pre-.
sent at the Los Angeles theater, for the
first time here, Kadelburg's famous com
edy. Zwei Gluckliche Tage. (Two Happy
Days.. The title is a peculiar one. but the
comedy has proven to be the greatest
comedy success of Europe for the past two
seasons. A German gentl eman well stu.

man OF the community, and sud denly
Immediately proceeds to put IN force his
ideas and make what he thinks are nee
essary changes. This sudden acquisition
OF power and the elation resulting from
the importance of his position const-
tutes the first happy day" But the
course is not all plain sailing; com
plants commence to pour in, the peo-
pie commence TO make trouble, the stu-
alton produces many laughable scenes and
miSunderstandIngs that simply produce
cyclones of laughter. AT the end of the
next day the worthy gentleman is ready
to vacate his office and become a common
citizen again, thus making the second

German author and playwright. and a
prOtege of the young German emperor,
has given the laugnter-loving public a
good clean comedy, sparkling with wit
and funny situations. The company in

Schluter. Doree. Zeckman and Miss Kru-

to be charming actress. and Messrs.
Ofeil, Bira. Eggsling and Hamseller. This
is their last appearance in Los Angeles.
The body of the Los Angeles theater
was fairly well filled last evening for Miss
Adelaide Detchon's second recital, and
the audience we're politely demonstratiye
in their appreciation OF the various Lum
bers on the programme.
Miss Detchon oEly emphasized the i'm
preston she made upon her first appear
ance. Her speaking voice is her greatest
attractions; its range is phenomena. she
has remarkable control over it, and her
imitation OF bird notes is the cleverest
thing she does. She had on another
stunning gown last night. and made a
series of very pretty pictures, but they
were marred as before by an irrtatin!

costume. with a vatican pleat in the back
and crowned with a ls surei wreath, was
slightly anacironistic, to say the least.
OF the rest OF the programme, DR.. Sem
Ter was not in his best voice and off the
key much of the time. and Mr.. Matthews
gave very indifferent rendition OF
Gottschalk's Pasquinade, but both were
recalled for encores.
The krauss quartette redeemed the rest,
however, they played all their nun hers
extremely we'll, and Mr.. Krauss, in his
solo read the difficult De Beriot concerto
brilliantly, and played for an encore
