AT THE THEATERS

Los ANGELES THEATEH-Chas. E. Schill-
ing's Minstrels open tonight at the Los
Angeles theater for two nights only.
In the organization of his company for
the present season Mr.. Schilling has made
radical departure from the average stereo-
typed minstrel entertainment. Novelty,
the aim and sole reliance in this late day
is well maintained. The first part repre-
sents royal court scene, the entire COM
pany being attired in silk, satin and plush,
which, with the magnificent scenery, ele-
giant plush draperies and artistic distribu-
ton OF stage adornnents, makes one OF the
most brilliant pictures ever witnessed on
the minstrel stage. Not only has great at
tention been given to the costumes and
stage settings, but in the selection of his
company great care and Judgment have
been used, and among its members are the
pick of the profession in their respective
lines.
Lew Spencer, Charles E. SchIlng, Frank
Hammond and Billy Carroll are quartet
of comedians whose names alone are
guarantee of the comedy element in the
company. while the singing is one of the
features of the entertainment. Charles
Lomier, John Sample, }. j. Birnes. Harry
Love and the Trocadero quartet making
company of singers seldom equalled with
an organization of this kind. In the olio
new specalties are introduced by Charles
E. Schilling. the Brothers LaRose, Carroll
d Neaiy, Kinzo, Frank Hammond, Lew
Spencer, TrocaderO quartet and the Hob
son family. The performance in its en-
tirety is bright and snappy and without
doubt what Mr.. Schilling claims for it
the browning effort in progressive min
strelsy.
ORPHEUM:-A the Orpheum tonight the
first performance of this weeks bill will be
given. Several clever people will make
their first appearance here in number Of
novel and entertaining turns.
The Henley sisters will execute their
beautiful mirror dance, which has been
pronounced one of the most enhancing eff
feet in the line of fancy dances.
The Beau Brummels of song and dance,
Howley and Doyle have a lot of the latest
songs which have recently made hits IN the
East. Fonte Boni brothers are expected to
take well here as they have elsewhere
in their French and Spanish duets and bell
limitations. Gilmore and Leonard have
new string of jokes, and Mason and Heaiy,
lhe eccentric team known as one-and-a-
half, will also re-appear. The clever work
of the Sisters De Van in balancing and
equipoise, with another of the numerous.
conceits of Gilbert and Goldie, completes
one of the best and most varied vaudeville
programs ever seen in this city.
