fort. Her most dramatic scene is in the
third act when she receives word of An
thongs marriage and flays the messeng or.
But her most artistic work is in the death
scene in the last act.
Her handling and the application of the
asp and her painless passing from life to
death is 80 natural that it becomes quite
natural. Mr.. Collier and Mr.. Vessels as
Marc Antony and Enobarbus divided
honors with Miss Lewis. The solo by Miss
Gautier in the last act was sweetly rem
dered and we'll received. The costumes
worn by Miss Lewis, particularly the
queens robe, is most beautiful. Cleopatra
should pack the house all the week.
THE BURBANK-Youth attracted crowded
audiences at the matinee yesterday after
noon. :and at the performance last even
ing, the theater being filled to it's utmost
capacity on both occasions. Last night
several hundred people were unable to
gain admittance, standing room being at a
premium. At the matinee ladies gold
watch was given away, Mrs. Hal. Morris of
So 5. Broadway was the lucky coupon
holder, No. 1910 being the winning num-
Der. This evening gentleman's gold
watch will be awarded to some fortunate
individual.
Milton Mobiles and Dollie Mobiles appear
on Monday evening in the celebrated play
of From Sire to Son." This melodrama
is not made of the material to which we
are accustomed in the imported plays Of
its kind, however, the people who walk
through it do not drop their "h's" and there
is none of the "heaven is my witness"
kind of heroes. The story of From Sire
to Son" is decidedly consistent and the
first act has an absolute charm because of
its idyllic western surroundings. Mr.. Mobiles
has personal magnetism that is little
short of remarkable. There is a great deal
to admire in this actor. Youth will be
given the balance of this week, including
Sunday evening and at the matinee on
Saturday afternoon.

ORPHEUM-The public is showing its APP
probation of the strong bill at the Orpheum
by packing the house nightly. Yesterday

Los ANGELES THEATER.-It is impossible
in this small space to describe in detail the
magnificent costumes worn by Richard
Harlow, the Daisey Queen of Spain, in
1902. Richard has been the talk of the
clubs and fashionable society for the past
three years in New York, and his wonder
full gowns are dreams of the modiste's
modern stage dresses with better taste or
wears more beautiful gowns than the
Queen of Spain in 1902.
The sale of seats for this engagement
opens this evening.
