husbands and left at home to sit and
NOPE through the long evenings while
their husbands are detained by busi-
ness" or 'go to lodge'meetings, or slt
up with sick friend and that are ad.
vised by people to ''go and do likewise,
should learn about the experiences OF
Mrs. Paillard, who, believing herself
to be a neglected wife, went out with
neighbor Mr.. Pinglet, on one occasion
ito make a night of it, so to speak.
Mrs. Paillard was young and charming.
Mr. Pinglet was middle-aged. married
and hen-pecked. Mr. Paillard had bust
ness that took him away from home
many nights. Mrs. Paillard stood this
as long as she could and then got sick
of it. She went to Mr. Pinglet, who was
in the next fiat and who was also her
husbands friend, and told him how she
felt 1t was Terrible! Terrible! Ter
r,ble" she said, and Mr. Pinglet thought
30 too What could she do? Why, make
the best of lido as her husband did,
said Mr.. Pirglet. Find friend whom
!, she could trust, and go out and have a
good time with him. But where was that
friend to be found? Where else but in
Mr.. Pinglet, said Mr.. Pinglet. The
young and charming wife jumped at
the suggestion. Mr.. Pinglet gurgled
with glee and jigged around with joy.
They would go to the theater and then
to quiet little restaurant for a nice
uttie supper Iney WOulu nave a Jolly
good time, all unknown to Mr.. Paillard
and Mrs. Pinglet Well, they went.
And, Oh, what a time they had! What
. delightful, cyclonic night! And Mr..
Paillard was mixed up in it, too, and
Mrs. Pinglet heard about it.
Such time! Oh. the merry and null
titudinous memory of it! Once was
enough for both Of them. 1t would take
columns to tell all that befell them.
The whole story Is presented in the
most successful farce comedy ever pro-
duced in New York, The Gay Parisians,
which has just celebrated its two hun
dredth performance at Hoyt's, theater,
New York, and which will be presented
at the Los Angeles theater tomorrow
night, with the original cast and seem
cry. 1t Is French farce of the liveliest
kind, and everybody knows that good
French farce is a perfect whirlwind of
FUN. This one is regular maelstrom
Of merriment. w. ]. Ferguson, the noted
character actor, is the Mr.. Pinglet, and
makes this messy old would-be roue
delightful creation. Charles Frohman,
under whose direction the farce is pre-
sented, has put a thoroughly clever
cast into 1t. and the performance is as
perfect as the scenes are meaty and
comical.
The .Orpheum will present a new bill
tomorrow evening which cannot fail to
meet WIN the appreciation OF al its pa
irons. 1t will embrace five separate new
turns, together with new work from two
Of last weeks favorites. Among the
fresh importations are representatives
Of all of the leading branches Of vaude-
vile, each ranking with the best Of it's
class. One of the charms of the new bill
will be the presence of eight women per-
formers, who always make a show doub
ly attractive. 1t is seldom the case in
any vaudeville house, especially in the
west, that as many new turns are intro
duced at one time. Manager Petrich Is
always to the front with something good
and he Is well satisfied with the prospect
for the coming week..
Herr Techow's educated cats will
prove one of the most diverting novel
ties that has ever been presented at the
Orpheum. 1t is quite a remarkable thing
to see a trained cat, in fact Herr Tech
ow is the only man who has ever sue
ceeded in training cats to any degree of
cleverness and his collection of tabbies
Is the only show made up entirely OF
feline soubrettes that was ever organ
lied in the world. There are eighteen
in his troupe and they are as handsome
and intelligent lot of animals as were
ever exhibited They perform the most
wonderful feats, such as rolling hoops
leaping through rings of fire, walking
the tight rope, turning somersaults,
standing on their fore paws, etc. Ev-
erything they do is performed with the
utmost grace. They are as clever as
any trick dogs or monkeys and are much
