day, and Alas! How Easily Things Go
Wrong. Altogether the opera will be most
enjoyable and will afford a rich treat. 1t
10 not often that Los Angeles audience is
given first class opera at popular prices,
in fact, it is the first time that such an en-
tsrprise has been attempted, and Manager
Cooper is to be congratulated on
the great success he has achieved
in attempting such gigantic undertaking.
The public has apparently fully appreciated
the fact and as a result the house has been
filled to the doors nightly. The repertoire
or this week will be The Lily of Killarney
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday even-
ings. On Thursday evening there will be a
grand double bill, consisting or Fra Diavolo
and The Charity Girls. Friday night
another double bill will be rendered, the
attractions being The Bohemian Girl and
matinee The Mikado will receive its final
production, and on Saturday night and at
the Saturday matinee Tie Lily of Kill
larney will be given for the last times and
Sunday evening will close the highly sue
cessful season of one of the very best
opera companies seen in this city. Most
of the seats have already been sold for
every performance this week and for the
\ hatinees on Wednesday and Saturday.
there are many regrets that this superb

long their engagement

THE ORPHEUM-There is always some-
thing bright in the way of new features at
this popular house and the present will be
no exception. In fact the bill which goes
into effect tomorrow night will contain
three new attractions that will rank with
any vaudeville performances ever given in
the city. Manager Petrich takes great
pleasure in announcing the engagement
of the famous Bowery Boy, Charles b.

songs for which he is noted both in this
country and abroad. One of his songs, The
Band Played On, was received most hear
tily by the general public and will doubt
less be revived when the author himself
presents it.
As comedian Mr.. Ward has few equals
and no superiors on the American stage.
Next season he will star for the we'll known
theatrical manager, William A. Brady, in
a Bowery play written especially for him.
In San Francisco, where the great comic
singer has been filling an engagement dur
ing the past few weeks. he has been the
rage of the season. The press of that city
has extolled him to the skies and he has
been the most popular favorite who has
appeared there in long time. Los An
geles theater-goers are fortunate in that
they will enjoy the opportunity of hearing
so great an artist.
Les De Filippi present splendid vaude-
vile feature with their latest creation. the
boulevard dance. They are two Partisan
rope and haye been winning successive
triumphs in this country. Besides the
boulevard dance they have a number of
other novelties, which for eccentricity and
grace combined have never been eXcelled.
Madammoselle Filippi is as bewitching as
she is active and graceful and she never
fails to delight all who see her. As team

makers, breezy and entertaining and as
jolly as they make 'em.
For all-around enjoyment there could be
no better turn than that given by the An
dersons. They are recognized everywhere
as the best colored comedians on the stage.
Their forte is popular fun, the kind that
every one appreciates, and on that ac-
wherever they appear. The colored team.
Williams and Walker, who made such a
hit at the Orpheum some time ago, cannot
begin to compare with the Andersons.
Their singing of the pleasing melodies typ
ical of their race is as good as whole con-
cert. To the ability of singing they add
the art of the true comedian. They are
strong team and will assuredly make a
great hit.
No better supplement could be made to
the above brilliant array than the four
strong combinations which have been
selected from the past weeks bill. The
Athos family are six lively acrobats whose
performance during the first week of their
engagement has been accorded very favor
able recognition. They do nearly every.
thing ever attempted in the acrobatic line,
and many special feats of their own ex-
clusively. One of the Athos boys, a little
7-year.old, is a marvel and has been the
darling of the show ever since he appeared.
Rosslyn brothers, the jolly Irish come
dians, will present a lot of new songs and
jokes in their old-time funny manner.
The Wiltons will repeat their wonderful
performance on the triple horizontal bar
Besides being clever acrobats they are
really funny. Dianta brothers wind up
the fun with a new musical and acrobatic
performance. somewhat similar to the one
they gave last week. One never tires of
such unique specialties as that given by
the Diantas.
All in all the new bill is winner, and it
ought to crowd the house every night dur
ing the week. There will be matinee
this afternoon, and the regular perform
ance tonight, which concludes the engage
ment of the great head equilibrists, the
Painter brothers, the clever travesty art
lists. Jules and Ella Garrison, and those
eccentric musicians. Friedlander brothers.
VIENNA Music HALL.-The large audi.
ences at the Vienna are now delighted
every evening by the remarkable perform.
ances of the great Troibert, wonderful
magician who has few equals on the stage.
