who thoroughly enjoyed the sterling
performance of Captain Impudence.

night there will be a change of bill
| and the excellent comedy drama of
Friends, which by the way was also
written by Mr.. Royle, will be presented.
The merit of Friends is we'll known to

and England. The Musical Courier of
London, speaking of her debut in that
city says: "On the first classical night
of the season Miss Anna Fuller made a
successful debut. She is another recruit
of the already large army of American
singers we have with us. She has Il s. M
pathetic Soprano-rathcr inclined to
mez2o-sopraI in quaiity-and uses it
with discretion. She amhitiously chose
the Greeting from Tannhaeuser for her
first song ard was rewarded with four
recalls and an encore, giving the Blue
Bells of Scotland with great effect"

in Los Angeles since her very success
ful concert given i'll the Los Angeles the

HAZARDS PAVILION-The ponies.
horses and Denver, that inimitable
mule, still entertain jolly crowd each
evening. At the matinee today Prof.
Bristol and Manager Wyatt will tender
free admissions to the children of the
Orphans home and a big bunch of jolly
faces is sure to be the result. These
little ones enjoy an outing, no matter
if it is only to the green parks or a
walk to the suburbs. but when a jolly
entertainment like Bristol's school of
educated horses is the amusement
menu they are sure to enjoy the feast.
The matinee prices for children are 70
cents to any part of the house. The au
diences 50 far this week have been very
enthusiastic ones and the applause un-
stinted. The dumb favorites seem
able to do almost anything that hu
man can do except talk. They add
and subtract, drill like the old guard
with precision, see-saw. assist the pro-
fessor in his various duties on the stage
and show an amount of reasoning that
is not usually accredited to the animal
kingdom. The engagement is both
evenings this week, with special mat
ineeS today and tomorrow.

ORPHEUM-Patron of the Orpheun1
who have been so highly entertained by
the plantation sketches as presented
by the Andersons may have thought
that the woman of the team was no
dancer as Mr.. Anderson had been doing
it all. However, this week Mrs An

the old man a hot chase in buck and
wing dances. Chas. Il. Ward is making
as great a hit as ever and Baker and
Roberts are a big success in their
comedy act. They do some tumbling
and funny falls that rivals anything
ever seen here. Little Gertie Carlisle
is a prime favorite and promises to be
as big hit here as in san Francisco.
Wills and Collins, Alburtus and Bar
tram, Frank La Mondue and the Kins-
Ners are roundly applauded. Crowded
houses have been the feature of the
week.
THE BURBANK-A singular fact IN
connection with the coming production
of "Pinafore" at the Burbank is that
Mr.. Carleton has never seen the opera
except on one occasion, when he wit
neSSed one act of the original produc-
tin at the Opera Comique in London.
At the time of the 'Pinafore" furore,
w. T. Carleton was under engagement
to Colonel Mapleson and singing in
Italian opera at Her Majesty's theater
and had no inclination toward that class
of opera, which has now become so pop
ular with the English and American
publics. Numerous and most tempting
offers have been made to Mr.. Carleton
to sing the part of the Captain in PIN
afore," but he has always refused them,
so that in this production he will see
the opera in it's entirety for the first
time.
