ORPHEUM.-A Another crowded house
greeted the strong bill presented at this
popular resort last night. Every act was
rouudly applauded while the big favorites
were recalled several times. The Ander-
sons divided honors with Chas. b. Ward,
who was at his best last night and rem
dered his character songs with a snap and
a vim that made him a greater favorite
than ever and earned him a series of en-
cores. The Fillipis. the giddy dancers
from gay "Paree," will close their engage
ment on Sunday night. as they have
eastern engagements which they cannot
cancel. 1t is seldom that such artists are
seen here, and it is we'll worth ones
while to see them. The Athos family
also leave, and to miss seeing their great
acrobatic feats is to miss great treat.
The bill is a strong one throughout and
worthy the patronage of the best people
who have attended so literally this week.
Box parties have been in vogue with soc-
ETY. and are becoming even more popular.

AT THE THEATERS

Los ANGELES THEATER-The opportun-
ity for fine spectacular effects, the per-
sonality of his satanic majesty and
Goethe's grand lines are the prominent
features which render the tragic story of
Faust an attractive and popular play.
Morrison's company have for many years
enjoyed wide reputation in this produc-
ton. They carry extensive and elaborate
scenery. including those electrical effects
which are so suggestive of the powers of
the evil one, and the company is on the
whole capable one.
The Mephisto of Mr.. W. L. Roberts is
incomparably a superior portrayal to that
of any other member of the combination.
He has fine voice and exceptionally good
elocutionary powers; he makes an aIlur.
ing and shapely devil; besides these nat
ural advantages Mr.. Roberts has made a
very clever study of the part, and his act
ing is characterized throughout by subtle
and virile force.
With the rest of the company there is a
damning tendency to mouth and rant,
which sadly depreciates the merits of their
acting. Miss Olive Martin, as Marguerite.
has considerable histrionic ability, and on
several occasions, notably in the jewel
scene, before the Virgins shrine, and in
the dungeon, rose to great moments. Could
she cultivate more natural voice and less
forced intonation, Miss Martins work
would be much better appreciated than at
present. The same fault spoils the Valen-
tine of Mr.. Nichols. His acting was strong
in the duel and death scene, but his rant
ing destroyed the illusion.
Ulysses s. Davis, who essayed the part
of Faust. has little conception of its op-
portunities; his acting was very unreal
and disappointing. Mrs. Vanderhoff sup
plies some capital comedy in the part of
Martha; the frisky flirtations of the old
nurse with the devil always affords pleas
ant relief from the graveness of the trag-
edy. and in last nights production proved
the best bits of acting during the evening.
50 rhe staging of the play is fine through
out, and the electrical effects add very
much to the brilliancy and weirdness of
the scene. The sudden blazing of the
cross over the cathedral, when Mephisto
exults over the fall of Faust, the garden
scene, the duel, the orgy of the sprites and
bogie, on the Broken, and the final recep-
ton of Marguerite by the angels, are all
produced with vivid and impressive effect.
During an entr'acte spirited two-step
Niagara" the composition of Nat. d.
Mann, the business manager of the COM

NoTwITHsTANDING the enormous amount
OF building Los Angeles has been the scene
of the last few years, the work still goes
on. The average of buildings of all kinds
since the opening of the year has been
equal to that of any similar period of
former years. The indications are strong
that the total number of permits for March
Of 1895 will exceed that of the same month
in 1895. which was counted as an excep.
tionally busy month. AS empty houses of
fairly desirable kind are as scarce as
heretofore, it is plain that this extraordi-
nary building is the symptom of an ex-
traordinaIy growth in the city's population.
In fact, if the crowds seen on Spring,
Broadway and Main streets during fine
day-which means, of course, about every
day-afford any criterion, one might al
most be justified in supposing that Los
Angeles had about doubled up in popula-
tion the last twelve months. We are
growing to be a farm boys appetite.
