Los Angeles Theater There are many
claims for the Calhoun Opera Company
which will appear this week for fou
nights and matinees but the public is SAT-
in assuming that the results will justify
the claims, for the management is nota.
bly, sincere and conscientious.
The artistic side of the performances
will certainly be well presented, for the
company includes some we'll known peo-
pie. Alice Beauvet, the prima DONNA has
a voice that is rich, sound and clear, and
perfectly schooled, while her physique is
such as to charm the chappies in the first
row.
Then there are Adele Harrington, Loleta
Levitt, Gertrude Lodge who by the way is
stage, George W. Lyding, F. r. Huntley,
Edward Webb, Douglas Flint and others.
OF those who were with the organization
last year, but one remains, Mr.. Flint.
Another very essential feature of sue
cessful comic opera is the chorus, the
feminine portion particularly. Judging
from press notes OF performances given by
thu company recently, all the girls are
young, with fresh voices, and forms that
apparently were made on purpose to be
displayed in silk tieshings.
The company has no star, but is said to
be an all star affair, every member being
of high degree of merit and the whole
anced production.
Two operas will be given, both full of
the harmony and melody which attract
those who care for music fer music's sake
and both are fully possessed of the spec
tacular and comedy elements which ap-
peal so strongly to the mass of people who
do not take the music too seriously.

Orpheum-The monkey actors come to
his house, commencing Monday night.
For the past six weeks these animal en-
ertainers have been the talk Of San Fran
cisco. The monkey family is generally
conceded to approach nearer to human
beings in intelligence than any other ami
mails, and the little creatures that form
Gallette's troupe are acknowledged as the
ceyerest animal performers that have ever
been presented to the public. They are
accomplished thespians as is shown in
their famous barber shop act, III which
two appear as a tonsoral artist and Gus
toner. Both enter in costume. The GUS
toner arrives and takes his place in a
miniature barber chair. and the proprie-
tor prepares him for Il hair cut and a
shave. He cuts the hair, using scissors
and comb, then fathers the customer, who
becomes angry at being cut, and throws
aside his iron and coat and prepares to
light. The barber strops his razor aud
