| Los Angeles Theater. John W. Sher-
mans Tableaux Phantasma, a marvel of
| the age, will be produced at the Los An
geles theater on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday evenings and Saturday matinee.
Phantasma is difficult to describe. though
unique and interesting in the extreme.
The entertainment is beautiful in concep-
ton, perfect in production. mystifiyng
in effect, elevatlng in character and tone
and thrilling to degree.
| Living people are made to vanish appa-
rently into air and then reappear like
spectres. Beautiful allegorical and clas-
seal groups of living persons are made
to disappear from view Instantly. other
groups of different persons appearing in
their place. Real and mythical persons
will be seen upon the stage at the same
time, the one indistinguishable from the
other. Living people will seemingly pass
through other living people. The effects
are marvellous and must be seen to be
thoroughly appreciated. The production
upon the stage of many la1ies and gen.
tlemen who are for the most part drawn
fom the church societies of the city.

Saturday, when the different characters

Orpbeum-Long before the Hungarian
orchestra had completed the second num-
Der the sign standing room only" was
brought into requisiuion. Everyone came
in anticipation of musical treat in the
Introductory marches and Overtures. The
announcement of the Hungarian or
chestra, under the leadership of Herr
Dion Romandy, was sufficient guarantee
that musical treat was in store, for
Hungarian music in skillful hands is al
ways delight. The advent of the Hun
garian orchestra was apprecia ted by both
audience and actor. Herr Dion Ro man.
dy's performance last light was sufficient
to give him reputation even if he had
not already established it.
Moreland. Thompson and Bush were
not, as whole, as we'll received as last
week. The first part of their act was de-
voted to SOL gs and refined wit, to which
the audience was little slow In catching
on. The latter part of their act. il which
negro melodies abounded, was received
with more applause. Miss Thompson is
as pretty and chic a soubrette as there
is on the vaudeville stage.
Weston and Herbert do a musical act,
in imitation of Ward ana Volks. Their
mandolin and banjo duo were good.
while Mr.. Weston's play on number of
bottles is entertaining as we'll as comical.
Wright and O'Brieu were even better
than last week and that is saying con-
siderable. for their turn last week was
feature. They introduce new songs and
jokes and in their hands nothing fell
| fiat. This pair is whole show in them
| selves.
Thomas c. Leary, than whom there is
none better IN his line, kept the andi-
ence in roars of laughter with his witty
| sayings, doings and songs.
Hugh J.Emmetta very clever ventriIo-
gust. is the best seen here in many
| day. His act is not of the ordinary style
of such work. He is very witty and his
easy, genteel way OF doing things aods
! to the merit OF his performance.
Dryden and Mitchell were very funny
| in an act in which a sport and his
sucker" play the leading parts. MIR.
| Mitchell as an Irishman willing to be
| done" at poker or any other game was
| quite inimi liable. In return of an encore
they do a boxing bout that is one of the
funniest acts On the vaudeville stage.
The Fabianu troupe in picturesque Co.'S
| tune sing medley made up of verses
| each in different language. They sing
| in Hungarian, Spanish, Austrian. Italian.
Russian. French, Chinese, German, and
PLAIN United States, and in these the
| verse In Chinese was best received.
| Taken as a whole the programme is one
of tie strongest Manager Walters has yet
| given us. There is not weak spot in
the bill and the engagement of the Hun
| gaiian orchestra can only be regarded as
valuable as we'll as Measurable acgui-
