Orpheum.-Th performance given at
this house during the past week for far
ahead of anything in the vaudeville line
ever seen in this city, and the public
patronizing the house. Anyone no mas
studied the theatrical situation cannot
help acknowledging that vaudeville is the
most generally popular form OF amuse-
ment of the day, and Los Angeles has
caught the fever. 1t is not at all strange
that the speciality performances have
taken such lead in the favor of the pub
lie. The performers, with but few ex.
ceptions, have come from the ranks of
regular companies, and on the variety
stage they are seen only in specialties for
which they are qualified, instead OF ap-
pearing in part totally unsuited 10 them.
Refined vaudeville has become firmly
established as a popular amusement in
Los Angeles, and there can be no question
but what it is here to stay.
Hilda Thomas, who, it will be remem-
bered was here as Frank Daniels leading
lady some years ago and later as leading
lady of one of NJ B. Leavitt's big COM
panes, will be one of the chief attractions
of the star combination this week. Miss
Thomas is one of the brightest comedi-
ennes, a charmingly sweet singer and
versatile character actress. She will APP
pear in musical eomedietta, and will be
assisted by Frank Barry.
Those marvellous acrobats, the Eddy
family, have been re-engaged. for ANOTHER
week, and all who say their sensational
performance last week will be glad of an
other opportunity of seeing them
Harry Potter, the baritone, whose ex-
cellent ballad singing has made him
great favorite, will also remain another
week, and Daley and Jordan will con-
tinue in their pleasing parodies and bur
lesquee act. With these exceptions, the
faces will all be new
Stack and Melton, the champion triple
horizontal bar performers of the world,
will be notable addition to the COM
pany. These experts are worthy of APP
pearing on the same bill with the Eddys.
Conway and Leland, team of sensa-
tional monopedes, are one of the greatest
novelties on the stage today. These one
legged performers are marvelously clever
dancers and burlesque acrobatic come
dians, and the feats they accomplish
would do credit to a person with two legs.
Gretta LIE Roy, souDrette, also appears
for the first time Monday night. Miss lie
Roy plays the banjo admirably, and is
clever song and dance performer
There will be matinee performance

ance tonight, when Bunth Rudd and
Flakey, the French grotesque comedians,
Bogert and O'Brien. musical comedy duo;
