A familiar star in a ne.w play will be
the attraction at the Los Angeles thea
tre. commencing Tues&ay evening,
April 21st, when the inimit aDie comed-
ian. Peter f. DAILY, begins his engage
ment here in THE Night Gle rk. Prob
ably no comedian that visit this city
has a. greater number of adm 1rerS than
Mr.. Daily and he brings a new play
every year. He always suct 'eeds in
playing a prosperous enga, cement.
1.-The Night Clerk is from the pen of
John J. McNally, who has writhan Mr..
Daly's previous successes, "A Straight
Tip and "A Country Sport Mr.. DAILY
and. his company come from New York
where they have just completed run of
100 nights, and where both star and the
comedy were called the laughing sue
cess: of the season. In fact, every city
that they have visited thus far has be-
slowed most substantial endorsement
on the entertainment The piece abounds
in bright sayings and ludicrous sit ua-
titonS, from which Mr.. Daily extracts ,ln-
limited mirth in his own popular and
original way. He impersonates young
man about town. and the first scene is
laid in his bachelor apartment. The Sec
ond act is the police station of the Ten
derloin district. In this act Mr.. Daily
disguses himself as a sergeant in charge
and makes no end of trouble for his
friends. The third act, which Is most
gorgeous, is laid in the Hotel Blase, of
which Mr.. DAILY is night clerk This
brief outline will convey in moment an
idea of how much fun can be extracted
by as brilliant a man as the genial Peter.
The scenic equipments are elaborate.
and undoubtedly the handsomest ever
carried by a farce comedy company. Mr..
Dalys company includes Miss Jennie
trude Fort, Mr.. Raymond Hitchcock,
Reta Emerson, F'reda Depew William
Keough. Peter Randall, Bertie Dyer lido
Rock, Nellie. v. Parker. Eva Butler,
Hugh Mack, Charles Sturgis and the
Olympic quartet.
The coming week at the Burbank the
ater is the last opportunity local music
lovers will have of hearing the Garlic
tons. When the curtain falls after the
performance on Sunday night next a
most successful five weeks engagement
will have closed. During that time
seven different operas have been
produced. and no effort or ex-
pense has been spared by eth
er Manager Cooper or Manager
Carleton to make each and every one an
artistic success. New scenery and new
costumes have been most literally pro-
vided, and certainly no better perform
ances have ever been given at popular
prices in the United States
Next week the entire repertoire will
be repeated, with the single exception
of The Lily of Killarney. Owing to La
Fiesta a change will be made in the
time of holding the matinees. After
noon performances will be given on
Tuesday and Thursday, instead OF
Wednesday and Saturday, as has been
the rule.
Tonight Gilbert & Sulivan's unique
orlcHtdl opera, L ne MlkduO, Will De pro-
.duced. There has been heretofore no
night performance of this attractive
and melodiouS composition. On Mon
day evening Balfe'S masterpiece, Boz
hemian Girl will be rendered. At the
Tuesday matinee The Mikado will be
again produced. and on Tuesday night
Fra DiaVolo viii be the bill. Wednes-
day evening the final performance of
Nanon viii doubtless attract crowds of
the admirers of Genee's waltz songs. AT
the Thursday matinee the last rendition
of The Bohemian Girl will be heard.
Thursday evening will witness the fare
Wei to Pinafore, while on Friday night
The Mikado will bow himself out. Sat
urday evening Auber's beautiful Fra
Diavolo will be seen for the last time.
On Sunday evening, April 26, a per-
formance never to be forgotten will be
given. A grand farewell bill has beer
prepared, consisting of all the gems of
song from the entire repertoire. This is
an idea original with Mr.. Carleton, and
one that cannot fail to be extremely
popular
The whole engagement has been an
artistic and financial success, and when
the Carletons leave Los Angeles it will
tie with the words Come back soon"
ringing in their ears,

For several months the management
of the Orpheum circuit has been laying
plans 1Of E1eSta week. The result has
been the signing of what is beyond ques-
ton the strongest vaudeville show ever
presented for the approval of the thea
tre-goers of this city. No expense has
been spared to secure only the very
best talent and vaudeville stars from
London Paris, Berlin, Madrid, and
New York will appear in the most COM
plete program the Orpheum has ever
offered. The New York and the Ber-
lin agencies were instructed to hunt the
vaudeville fields for talent and novel
ties. The first attraction secured was
the great Segomer; next La Bella Car
men of Madrid was signed Other at
fractions followed until eight acts were
made sure of that would guarantee an
unrivaled show. Dion Romandy, the
popular director of the orchestra. has
prepared very pleasing musical pro-
gram, in which an arrangement of Span
fish airs will be a prominent feature The
house Will be beautifully decorated and
nothing has been left undone to make
Fiesta week a memorable one to the
patrons of the Orpheum. There will be
many features that will be long remem-
bered and talked about. For instance
the great Segomer is likely to be the talh
Of the city ,as nothing that in any way
approaches him has ever been in this

where he has appeared since coming tc
