The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1896-10-04

Inc FTdWley CoIupduyp Which, oPSno
at the Los Angeles theater on Tuesday
for a season of four weeks, is q standard
comedy company, that has been playing
at the Columbia theater in San Francis
CO for the past season, and differs In
that respect from the combinations
that come ''for one night only and
whose motto is, Stand from under"
The leading man is T. Daniel Fraw-
ley, and the leading lady is Blanche S.
Bates, the most beautiful woman on the
American stage. She comes of an act
ing family, as her father, who died at
Melbourne some years ago, was one OF
the most popular American actors that
ever went to Australia; The rest Of
the company consists Of Messrs. Frank
Worthing, George w. Leslie, Macklyn
Arbuckle. Harry Corson Clarke, Frank
Thompson, Wilson Enos, Harry Duff
field, George Bosworth and Thomas
Phillips. and those popular ladies,
Misses Lansing Rowan. Hope Ross.
McAllister and Little Mildred. The
repertoire consists Of ten pieces. en-
bracing The Great Unknown, The Char
ity Ball. The Two Escutcheons, His
Wife's Father, London Assurance,
Brother John, Lord Chumley. The Wife.
The Highest Bidder and Moths, the lat
famous novel Of that name.
A gentleman, who has seen this COM
pany in all its repertoire, thinks the
members at their best in Moths and
London Assurance. But it would in
deed be difficult to imagine more ideal
Vera that Blanche Bates, a nobler Lord
Jura than Daniel Frawley, or a higher
bred devil than Macklyn Arbuckle.
London Assurance, comedy written
nearly sixty years ago by Dion Bouci-
cault, Is one Of their happiest efforts,
and it would be difficult to imagine a
gentlewoman than Miss Bates in
Lady Gay Spanker. A real live comedy
company Is a genuine treat.
The Frawleys make their first ap-
pearance in Augustip Days charming
comedy, The Great Unknown, which Is
said to be his best work. 1t will be seen
for three nights only. Belasco and De-
miles society drama, The Charity Ball,
which had long season at the Lyceum
theater, will be the second play. 1t will
be produced on Friday night, and the
remainder Of tho week, including Sun
day and ladies' matinee Saturday.
Prices will be during this engagement
25 cents to 81. Seats can be had at the
ticket office daily from 9 a. m. to 10 p.
m, without any extra cost.
THE ORPHEUM.-There Is bril-
liant promise OF notable week in the
matter of sensational vaudeville attrac-
coming week. There is more of a van-
ETY. in the makesup Of the program than
It Is usually possible to arrange; then
there are more top-notch features
grouped together than can be common
~ found In the best theaters. This leads
to the thought that our theater-goers
do not fully realize the high character
of the entertainment weekly offered at
the Orpheum until they visit vaudeville
houses In other cities. The comparisons
then forced on them show that this the
alter will easily take rank with Roster
4 BlaIs and the swell roof gardens of
Gotham. The writer knows of quite a
number Of instances where vaudeville
stars, who have been brought over to
this country from Europe, have first
appeared at the Orpheum, and after
playing the coast cities. have gone to the
