Angeles theater, which is aHnouHceu
for Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings of this week. with special
Thanksgiving matinee and Saturday
matinee owing to the fact that the win
some little lady will be presented under
= conditions differing entirely from those
which have hitherto marked her ap-
pearance in this city. 1t is scarcely nee
essary to rehearse the attributes of Cor
inne for the name of the clever little
STAR. although she is but now budding
into womanhood has been household
word for several years, and her artistic
work and enchanting personality are
widely known. Since, as wee tot OF
years she found her way into the affec-
tions of theater goers, she has demon
strated the fact that she is the one shin
ing exception to the general rule regard
ing infant prodigies of the stage, mas
much as her talent did not slip awav
from her with her early childhood. on
the contrary, her inherent art, by dint of
careful fostering and conscientious ef-
fort has attained a polish and brilliancy
which commands the admiration OF her
audience everywhere. Yet not alone to
her skill as an actress nor to the rlch,
melody of her voice does she owe her po-
S1tlOn as 4 universal LAY tilNe, bul aiso
to her proficiency as a musician; she mas
acquired such rare perfection as man
dolin soloist that it is worth the price OF
admission to the theater to hear her play
that instrument, even though she were
to do nothing more than this for the en-
tertainment of her patrons. But II is to
the new surroundings which is due the
added interest which manifests itself in
her next appearance here. Messrs Howe
and Berry, who were so fortunate as to
secure the clever little star, have had
Hendrick Hudson, Jr., entirely revised
and rewritten and infused with new and
up-to-date humor, and have surrounded
Corinne with a company which in point
of excellence is far beyond any which
has ever before been seen in her sup
port. The cast includes Joe Cawthorn,
John Page. John Park. Neil Mcneil,
Herman Greinert. jr. Octavia Barbe,
Nellie Strickland, Anne Hutchinson
Helen Holden WEIGH, Arnola BelleVllle,
and others. The chorus of ladies is said
to be of rare beauty; Messrs. Howe and
Berry assert that it is the best ever as
sembled, both as to fresh, young voices
and as to womanly loveliness in form
and feature. Their own baggage car.

have been holding a reign of mirth for
weeks. Two of the teams. the Detroit
Bros. and Mays and Hunter, had their
engagements several times renewed so
great was their popularity. They are all
top notch features from whom IL is rea-
sonable to expect rattllng nne snow.
The Brothers Detroit rank among the
leading acrobatic teams of the world and
are said to give one of the most wonder
full and exciting performances OF the
kind ever witnessed. Hand balancing is
their specially, and at this they have no
peers. Some of their feats border on the
miraculous and are so astonishing thal
no one would think them possible unless
he saw the Detroits accomplish them.
Roth of these sturdy athletes are hand
some specimens of physical mannood
Their muscular development is almost
perfect and the result is as fine team OF
acrobats as ever appeared on the stage
Such a turn as theirs is always popular,
even when secondary in quality, Dut
when it is rendered by these acknowl-
edged champions of the world, 1t can not
help being a splendid treat.
Mays and Hunter, while they are of a
very different class Of artists, are equal
ly great in the vaudeville world. Ihe|
come to us with a long list of former
triumphs to their credit and press no
tices galore, announcing them as the
greatest banjoistj in the world; the only
true banjo artists, etc. They have just
closed an unusually extended engage
ment in San Francisco, where they were
the big drawing card of the Orpheum for
weeks Manager Walter states that
they are one of the most popular feat
ures he ever billed,
Mays and Hunter are not ordinary
banjoists, by any means. Their per-
formance does not consist of clever
manipulation of the wel-known instru-
ment with a few lively variations or
musical gymnastics, but it is a genuine
musical treat made doubly entertain
ing from the fact that it is produced on
so simple and common an instrument
as the banjo. These accomplished play
ers have given a dignity to the banjo
that it never before possessed. They
employ it in Interpreting Wagner, Bee
thoven, Moskowski and others of the
great masters, and in such a manner
that they astonish as well as delight
team repetition of their great success
in the north may be expected here.
There will be fun alive when the rol-
licking comedy trio, Nelson, Glinseretti
and Demorio. appear, for they are the
funniest combination that ever pro-
voked a laugh. They are grotesques ex-
traordinary, as the bill reads, and judg-
ing from the accounts we hear of them,
the bill is carried out to the letter in
their ludicrous act Aerial acrobatic
work forms the basis of their turn, but
in truth 1t is but part of the show
they give. When they get started, fun
seems rather to be the dominating prin-
ciple of their performance. Everything
they perform is done in a supremely hui
morous fashion. Their acrobatic feats
alone, however, would make a very di-
verting bit of entertainment They in
troduce back and forward giant swings
by the feet on aerial bars, feats IF
strength, do double and full twisting
somersaults, funny grotesque knock
about tricks in midair mixing the whole
in lively medley of mirth and excite
1nent. Nelson, Glnseretti and Demorlo
have one Of those specialties that al
ways catches on" and they ought tn
make one of the biggest hits Of the show
Not the least attractive feature of the
new bill will be the aerial act of the little
