features: There certainly has never been
juggler In this theater who has equaled
the marvellous acts presented by Eldora
and Norine. His feats Of balancing with
articles of furniture, ETC., were simply
wonderful. and encore after encore fol-
lowed in quick succession from the large
audience. The contortion dancer, Mar
guerite Ferguson, likewise caught the
audience with her high kicking and eX-
traordinary feats of agility and contor-
tion. She is the best in her line that
we have had this season.
One of the sensational features of the
evening was the appearance of Fergu-
son and Mack who proved their right
to the title of the best knock bout COM
edians on earth. Their Irish comedy act
is humorous in the superlative degree
as an excitant of boisterous merriment
Among the other notable features
which made the entertainment peculiar
ly attractive were the singing of the
Vassar quartet, Alma's electrict globe
novelty, and Abdullah's wonderful act
on the slanting wire. OF course, Filson
and Enrol in their unique act again cap
tured the house. The parquet was filled
ana the auditorium was gaily decked in
honor Of the occasion. This will be an
other big week at the Orpheum.
LOS ANGELES THEATER.-Tonight
at this house there will be great social
and society dramatic event. AS the ad-
vance sale Is large, the indications are
the cosy theater will be packed and Mr..
Frawley and his eminent company will
receive an ovation seldom seen here.
The attraction is one Of Augustin Daly's
best comedies, The Great Unknown,
which, at its recent presentation at the
Columbia theater, San Francisco, the
press and public pronounced one of the
brightest and funniest comedies of the
day, full of laughter, absurd situations
and immensely funny complications, all
brought about in purely legitimate
manner, not of the horseplay order. It
has an exceedingly interesting plot, and
all the strong points, are brought out to
the fullest extent by Mr.. Frawley and
his company
The characters in the cast are unique
and quite unlike those of any other yet
utilized In comedy\ on the American
stage. The following iS the cast COM

The Great Unknown Is comedy
founded upon the idea that when "the
pussy's away the mice will play" But
pussy is taught lesson on her return.
The character of the hen-pecked hus-
band has been a favorite with comedy
writers since the days when English
comedies first appeared, but the part of
the wife is rather more recent. Mrs.
Arabella Jarraway is formerly a good
housewife and CONSTITUENCIES Of edible

ing at her soul, has undertaken liter

novels which tell of disappointed loves.
tion that mental divorce exists be-
tween her husband and herself. A
pretty little love tale runs through the
piece in the wooing of the daughter. a
hoydenish but delightful school girl, by
the earnest Cousin Ned. The wooing is
successful, and way is found to bring
those mentally divorced into happy
union.
Miss Blanche Bates and Mr.. Frank
Worthing do an extremely clever bit of
acting in the proposal scene. The lines
are very bright and the use of the mir
ror in the climax is a natural touch
BURBANK THEATER-The Ideal
Opera company gave Olivette last even
ing to crowded house and repeated
their success of Sunday nights per-
formance. If anything, there was an
Improvement, the principals were in bet

and versatile to a degree. A. r. WILDER
has made big reputation by giving
good, wholesome plays, well acted by
intelligent ladies and gentlemen, at ex-
tremely low prices. and he richly de-
serves the large patronage bestowed on
his efforts. La Petite Lille, the little
one who sings, dances and acts, is as
clever a little tot as has ever appeared
here. She has become the favorite Of
everyone. At the Saturday matinee
