THE BURBANk.-Last evening at
the Burbank theater the Ideal Opera
company presented Lecocqs charming
opera. Giroiie- -Giroha TO delighted au-
dlence. There is a rhythm and jingle
to Girofle- Girolia that chases from one
number to the next and gives great
pleasure to the hearer. The scene is laid
in Spain, in and around the palace of
Bolero, in which resides Don Bolero
d 'Alcarazas, his wife, Donna Bolero,
and two twin daughters, Girofie and
GiroHa. The surroundings and the char
acters give great scope for scenic ef-
fects and superb costumes. The man
agement took advantage of this fact.
which resulted in extra fine groupings,
fun of color and light, and gave pictur-
esque effect to the surroundings.
Oracle Plaisted, in the dual role of the
twin sisters, CIRCLE -Girotla, was the
life of the company and sang and acted
The part to perfection. No one knows
what a clever little artist Miss Plaisted
is until they have heard her sing. Gil
roiie-Giroiia was one of her most sue
cesSful characters while in San Francis
co with the Tivoli. she appearing for
169 nights during its run in that city.
IL the second act especially does she
show her chic manners in the drinking
song, where with the aid of Sparkling
Champagne" she brought down the
house, receiving several encores. The
Ideals deserve great credit for having
secured the services of such an artist.
Giroile-Girofla was happy selection
for this week by the management. 1t
is totally unlike Madame FavaIt, and
abounds in funny situations and catchy
music, and Is by all odus the best effort
the Ideals have given US.
The production of new opera each
af te.
be marveleG at. and great credit is due
to O. w. Kyle, the stage director. for
the efficient work he is doing to bring
the company up to the standard. Merle
Manning. as Marasquin, is a new addi-
ton to the company. and an excellent
selection. He is no stranger to Los An
Seles audiences. and shows great i'm
provement over his forme. efforts. Fred
w. Huntley as Mourzouk, the Moor
gave magnificent rendering of the
character His fine stage presence and
delivery of his lines make an excellent
impression Nuro Deiamotta assumes
the comedy role of Don Bolero, and he
made quite a hit. Daise Thorne as Pa
quito and Emma Benson as Pedro filled
the parts very acceptably. The chorus
shows excellent drilling, and in the en-
5emble work stands eq4 4al to many cho-
ruses of more pretentious companies.
All in all, Girolle -Giroila is a good opera
y,
Burbank should be well filled during the
rest of the engagement. Girofle-G -Girofla
VIII be given tonight, TUESDAY and
Wednesday evenings and a Saturday
matinee. Olivette will be presented on
Thursday. Friday and Saturday even
ings.
Observation-Disclosures rafting big vau-
deville array is booked for this house and
the bill that opens tonight promises to be
one of the best that has ever been given.
The feature pre-eminent will be the
Brothers Horn, England's greatest COM
edy trio, assisted by the celebrated little
smashing hne combination, and they
will present one of the breeziest turns
ever conceived. They render series,of
clever impersonations, including the
London shoeblack. newsboy, society
swell, flower girl and other typical char
acters, their rollicking act concluding
with the most screamingly funny cyclon-
ic boxing bout ever witnessed.
Another attraction of great merit Is
Herr Grais' circus, consisting of trick
donkey, an athletic ape and several
clever monkeys. They give laughable
and most interesting performance, and
will doubles prove one of the biggest
drawing cards the Orpheum has ever
introduced.
The wonderful giants, Johnson and
Lundin, will repeat their sensational
feats of strength with many astonishing
varia tions, eliminating with the phe-
nomenal feat of Mr.. Lundin who will
support from fifteen to twenty men on
his chest
Clayton, Jenkins and Jasper will ap-
pear in new act, said to be as over
whelmingly funny as their first roar
ing success, Rube's circus. Les Ira
velles, the clever shadowists will give a
new turn, as will also Colby and Way,
the rousing vertriloquial duo, and Her,
Burk and Belmar, the acrobatic music
ians.
This week the Orpheum management
will begin it's regular Wednesday matt
nees.
LOS ANGELES THEATER.-Since
Julia Marlowe Taber last paid a visit to
the Pacific coast she has steadily ad-
vanced, until now no one denies her
position in the front ranks of her pro-
fession. She and Robert Taber have
just concluded an engagement of three
weeks at the Baldwin theater in San
Francisco. No stars who have visited
that city in recent years have received
more ardent praise from both press and
public. Their productions are pro-
nounced the most satisfactory ones Of
Shakespeare's plays now being given to
the public, and their efforts to present
the legitimate drama with que regard TO
scenery, costumes and stage equip
ments were warmly endorsed and en-
couraged They open tonight at the
Los Angeles theater in Shakespeare's
romantic but sad tragedy, Romeo and
Juliet. Julia Marlowe Taber's Juliet
has more than once been said to be the
best this country has seen since the days
of Nelson. 1t is certainly one of her
best interpretations and to judge by the
San Francisco press. The Romeo of
Robert Taber is equally as strong bit
of dramatic work. Tuesday evening
Twelfth night will be presented.
