AT THE THEATERS

Los ANGELES THEArER-Sinbad again
crowded the Los Angeles theater last night.
The audience was even more demonstrative
than upon the opening night and the Infinite
variety in music, dancing, glittering scenic
surprises, and masses of pretty gic!s in
tasteful costumes found in that audience
an appreciation seldom accorded to any
company. Sinbad, like Aladdin, seen here
year ago, is a combination of the best
features of comic opera, farce comedy,
spectacle and ballet. Therein lies its
popularity. There is in it everything to
please all classes and nothing to offend the
most fastidous.
There will be matinee today. As in all
David Henderson's productions, there is in
Sinbad everything to delight the juvenile
population as we'll as to the children of
older growth. The seductive Cupid, who
watches over the destinies of Sinbad aud
Minetts, the wreck. the bottom of the sea,
tie sea horses. the ascent of Sinbad, the
cannibal island, the winter carnival in the
frozen Valley of Diamonds and the trans
formation revealing the origin of the harp
all these scenes and incidents appeal to
the juvenile ima9ination, the recollection
of which lives. The last performance Of
Snbad will be given on Su ,day evening,
after which the company will leave upon
special train for San Diego.

this afternoon there will be presented the
best vaudeville entertainment that has
ever before been seen in the city. The
leading feature OF the bill will be the head
balancing and acrobatc performance of
the famous Painter Bros. These clever
acrobats are, without eXaggeTation. the

is novel and exciting and never fails to win
the highest praise from all who witness it.
Another strong team are the Garrsons,
two of Americas leading travesty artists.
Their work is refined and exceptionally
bright. Mrs. Garrison is a charming wo-
man who would grace any. role she might
essay. Ali of their jokes are
thoroughly up to date. Friedlander
brothers give musical comedy skt that
for roaring fun and unique music has never
been equaied. The Friedlanders have
varied assortment of odd instruments
from which they manage to get a great
deal of fun and music.
Today and tomorrow will be the only OPP
portunities of hearing the great minstrel,
Carroll johnson. No one who has appeared
at the O"pheum for long while has met
with such popular favor as johnson. He
is a sweet singer and is one of the most

THE BURBANK.-At the matinee this att
ernoon a forty-two inch handsome doll will
be given away and every girl attending the
performance will be given an opportunity
of winning the present. The May Nannary
company Will appear in the comedy OF
Baby. preceded by the curtain.raiser, The
Open Gate. This splendid double bill will
be rendered this evening for the last time.
MIR. W. Il. Gleason. as the tutor in Baby,
gives the best pieces of character acting
seen here for some time. The role suits
him to nicety. and he is as natural in the
part as if he was not cognizant that he was
assuming most difficult personation be-
fore the footlights. Tomorrow evening
May Nannary and the Daley Stock COM
pany will give their farewell performance.
The attraction will be- the great military
drama, Lynwood. The celebrated Carleton
opera company will begin an engagement
on Monday evening, and for their initial
presentation Fra D!avolo will be given.
The sale of seats has been very large and
this excellent company will undoubtedly
do big business during their short stay
here of two weeks. Mr.. Carleton brings
some special fine scenery and over forty
people. and his leading soprano, Miss
Reua A. Atkinson, is lid to be the greatest
singer on the English stage today. Mr..
Carleton is great favorl,e with the Los
Angeles public. as his engagement will
surely demonstrate.
