The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1896-11-08

was anOtner> IaSnlOnaDle auuleHce last
night at this house to see the delightful
operetta, sETeur de Lis, with piquant
Della Fox as the central figure. Fleur
de Lis Is a bright, sparkling adaptation
from the French, and Della Fox, as the
fiowersgirl, finds in it most happy me-
dunn fors the exploitation of her high
talents She sang and acted the role
with her usual grace and artistic SAVIOR
faire.- and took fresh hold on the al
fections of the Los Angeles play-goers.
Miss Fox can always be assured of
warm welcome in the future when she
comes to the City of the Angels.
AS was the case with The Little
Trooper, this production was beautifully
staged. MI McDonough, as the count,
and Mr.. Blair, as the marquis, made two
excruciatingly comical presentments,
and Mr.. Chilvers, as Fredszac, made an
ideal lover. Miss Braggins, as Isabelle,
and Miss Friganza. as Charlotte, again
confirmed the delightful impression
which they had made Friday evening
The remainder of the cast added to the
perfect features of an ideal lyrical pic
ture.
Julia Marlowe- Taber and Robert
Taber will soon open a limited engage
ment at the Los Angeles theater in
from George Eliots rovel by Elwyn A.
Barron. A legitimate play in four acts
and an epllogue, should be a strong at
traction in itself. especially so when it
is drama tizaton of the work of one
of the most eminent and admired nov
elsts of the day. When it is further con-
sidered that Julia Marlowe Taber, the
most beautiful and talented legitimate
actress now starring in this country
representative American and a gener-
al favorite-is playing the title role. and
the the equally important part of Tito
Melema is enacted by that excellent ac-
tor, Robert Taber. Mr.. Barron has made
an effective and fairly comprehensive
dramat iZatiOn AS a scenic production
there is nothing more to add to the pic
turesque and realistic mountings. The
repertoire in which these artists appear
this season includes Romola. Romeo and
Juliet, Twelfth Night. Much Ado About
Nothing. AS You Like It. and The Love
that eclipses that of any other acrobatic
day next
Three more new attractions will be
seen on the Orpheum boards this week
with the usual bright array of favorites
from last weeks bill, making a show
that will outrival anything that has
been given this fall. The principal fea-
ture will be a European importation.
Johnson~And Eundin, the famous aero
pats. johnson anu 1uIlull nave d re-
cord for popularity in the old country
that eclypses that of any other acrobatic
team in the business. They are the
acknowledged premier jugglers of heavy
weights of the world and are considered
by showmen to be great feature people.
They are engaged to play this country
in Ringing Bros circus and were
brought over by,them for that purpose,
but made such a hit that they received
greater offers from the vaudeville man
ayers and soon Cancelled their engage
ment. Their act took even better in the
vaudeville theaters and they soon won
first place over all acrObatic teams in
America Manager Gustav Walter en-
gagged them for the Orpheum circuit at
a great expense and they were sent to
Los Angeles to make their debut here.
johnson and Lundin are powerful men
of Sandow-like development. Both are
splendid acrobats and laroundSath-
letes They do juggling turn that is
wonderful and would make good num-
Der in the program without any of their
other excellent work. These great aero
bats are top liners and ought to prove
a big drawing card.
Another team that gives promise 81
livening things up bit about the Old
place is Clayton. jenkins and Jasper,
with their rousing comedy skit, RUDE 5
Circus This combination is not I'M
known in the city. In fact, they have
many IrlenQS mere. WIZ nearly dlcd
laughing at their ludicrous circus when
they We're here over six months ago.
Clayton and jenkins, and their side
partner Jasper, commonly known as
Balaam's beast, are about the funniest lot
that ever set foot on the Orpheum stage.
They convulsed the house With laughter
at every performance during the forme r
engagement and it is more than likely
that they will repeat their mrthful Sc
ances as long as they remain. Their act
IS unique to begin with; then, too, they
are unique team their makeup is UNI
usual. There are more little plays that
are helped on very humorously by the
long-eared member Clayton's foolery
would not be half so effective without
Jasper's aid, and Jenkins would be a. a
loss for a tit associate in some of his an
tics were the donkey not at hand Jas
per is prominent member of the team.
The truth of the matter is, he is rather
more important than his associates Will
admit. The donkey is natures best eX-
preston of comedy and therefore Jas
per is. by right of natural position, a
big feature in the team. Besides, he is
well educated. He knows no end of dew
i.try, and he joins in the turn with great
eclat Jasper always makes a hit, and
his less important team mates get along
pretty we'll in that line themselves.
A feature of no little prominence will
be the appearance of Mons. and Mile
Travelle, the renowned shadowists, in
their fanciful shadowgraphic turn AMI
their latest creation, Courtship in the
Shadow. Mons Travelle is the great
artistwho was with the Howard Athenei-
UNI company so long. and whose perfor-
nance was one of the most attractive
parts of that show.
Fraveile is an artist in the highest
sepse and he presents most diverting
speciality. Nothing of the kind has been
seen at the Orpheum in long while. ar
there is no doubt but he will catch OF
