ADJUSTMENTS

The Burbank-The love for the sensa-
tional was strongly marked in the au-
dience that packed the Burbank theater
last evening to witness handsome Rose
Stillman il Dumas celebrated story, The
Clemenceau Case. 1t is the expurgated
edition as presented by th thu ,.- +h~orrh
III INC roaui"s iarinIy Tn eaters through
out the country. In the famous model
scene it gives the principal an opportuns
ity of having the audience perceive an
ptionally pretty woman and one who
possesses most beautiful figure. The
version of the drama as produced last
night has been toned down SO as to es-
cape popular criticism. 1t is well staged
and put on with finish that tells of ex-
cellent management. As drama it is
unusu ally strong and offers rare oppor-
tunity for the portrayal OF powerful
human passion. The plot is too well
known to require curso:y review and
Miss Stiilman in the Character of liza err
tainly sustains her well-earned reputation
as fitting the part. Miss Stillman was
spleddly supported by several new faces
which included Lorimer Johnston and
Miss Hattie Foley. The former as Pierre
Clemenceau did most acceptably, VIII lie
Miss Foley as Countess Dombroskl left
little room for improvement of the part
The Cooper stock compay gave excellent
aid. Carl Berch was especially good.

their respective characters in creditaole

Orpheum.-The chief musical and the
atrical event OF the week is the appear
ance of jules Levy, the famous cornetist
at the OIpheum. Although Levy has
never been heard in Los Angeles, his
name and fame are known to every resi-
! dent of the city, ana the. interest in his
coming is evinced by the great demand
for seats. The advance sale is the largest
on record at the Orpheum and the audi
ences for the entire week will doubtless
be as large as the theater will accommo-
date. The house is nearly sold out for
tonight, ana there will be only standing
room left for the late ones. The speciality
| programme is OF the usual length and
excellence maintained at this heater.
Professor Marines wonderful troupe of
performing dogs are one of the new attrac-
tons, and James Richmond, Letha Glen
way, Meyer Cohen, the Rodgers Brothers
and Maude Raymond will all contribute
clever and varied specialtes.
