ROBERT FULGoRA AT THE ORPHEUM

here for a limited summer season. Is
probably the best comedy organization
ever seen on the coast. Every member
of the organization has been a star ana
at the head of his own company. NO
cne manager could possibly get together
such an aggregation during the regular
eastern season. The dainty singing
comedienne, Miss Myra Davis, and Mr..
Arthur f. Moulton, the gifted character
comedian head the list Miss Davis is
quite local favorite. having been here
as leading lady in Captain Herne and
other standard dramas. Mr.. Moulton
is also we'll known in Los Angeles, hav-
ing supported Mr.. Charles Reed in The
City Directory and Mr.. Frank Daniels
in his several productions. Other men,
bers of the company are Miss Rose Stu
art, Miss Kate Dallas, Miss Helen Har-
rington, Miss Fanny YantiS, Mr.. Lester
Lonergan Mr.. Henry Stockbridge. Mr..
Charles Gibney and Mr.. William Sellery.
In the hands of such artists Niobe is
sure to be an artistic and financial sue
cess.
1t is the desire of Manager Dowling
that the members of his company be-
come personally acquainted with the
patrons of the Burbank, and to that end
a number of receptions have been ar
ranged. Every Saturday afternoon af-
ter the matinee the ladies of the COM
pany will receive visitors on the stage
of the Burbank from 4:30 to $50. La
dies and children are especially invited
to attend the receptions.

theatrical circles. This company car
ries a carload of special scenery, which
is something unusual with vaudeville
companies 1t includes in its list of
speciality artists four of the highest sal
aried European variety stars ana
eighteen of the greatest of American
speciality people. A feature of the show
is the German midgets-the RossoW
brothers. Karl and FranZ-who. though
IS and 20 years of age, weigh but 26 and
80 pounds each. They were trained to
box by Jim Corbett and to wrestle by
Muldoon. The quaint mannerisms of
these tiny people are indescribable.
They are German to the finger-tips and
especially Karl the younger, who ac-
companies his conversation with ire
sistable gestures. which in him are so
truly funny They speak very little
English: the older. in fact, neither un-
derstands nor speaks word of our IAN
guage. Karl, however, can make MN
self understood, and his intelligent lt-
tie face as he talks is one moment a
mass of froWns and the next puckered
into as many wrinkles. Among other
features are the Evans, Edward and
Josie. who do notably clever act
which opens with their assumption or
a rural boy and girl with trick dog
and a real one, with which they set the
house in roar. Their burlesque Wrest-
ling bouts are another comic MT, ana
their act closes with Mr.. Evans phe-
nomenal high tenor singing and his M
itation of a celebrated actor. clayton
