After the minstrels comes long string
of vaudeville artists, who alone would
furnish great show.
Among the newcomers on the bill is
Herr Langslow, the shooting star, who
will present sensational novelty that
is said to be one of the best ever brought
from Europe. Langslow's act combines
the thrilling features of tight-rope act
and an exhibition of trick shooting. The
daring performer sports about on a slen-
der wire high over the heads of the au-
dience, executes numerous daring feats
on the wire, in the meantime displaying
wonderful skill as a marksman. 1t is
a double treat and will unquestionably
make hit, as it did in San Francisco
and New York.
Another novelty will be the spiral globe
turn of the mysterious little fairy, Ellen
Vetter. This is undoubtedly one of the
most diverting specialties ever intro
duced, and it ought to take big. Miss
Vetter conceals herself in a large sphere,
and without any visible power of loco
motion ascends and descends spiral
track. After this has been repeated a
number of times the spectators are sur
prised to see smiling figure emerge
from the globe, and then the wonder
grows, how she could haye executed the
marvellous feat just witnessed.
Five additional turns complete the
pIuSIdHl vi THESE, LEWIS ana Ell1Otl
will be strongest for popular favor. They
are two of the greatest sketch artists
that have ever appeared at the Orpheum.
Their breezy performance was the star
feature of last weeks bill. and they will
be the most welcome hold-overs on the
new one. Burt Shepard will contribute
fresh lot of darkey humor, and Ed.
Heffernan will spring a new budget CT
Hibernian wit. The Morrells have a
new sketch, replete with excellent spe-
cialties.
Abachi and Masaud conclude the pro-
gram with a lively acrobatic act.
THE BURBANK-A great change is
being made in the interior at the Bur-
bank theater. Manager Pearson is ac-
lively engaged in totally eradicating the
old landmarks of past management. An
army of decorators. artisans and fur
nishers is busy at work remodeling re-
painting and refurnishing. The colors
are all brighter and warmer in effect,
giving cosy appearance to the in
terror New carpets are being laid and
new curtains hung. A new drop curtain
is being completed and the contour of
the proscenium arch changed When
the doors are thrown open on Christmas
day at the matinee the public will GER
tainly welcome the improved appear
ance of the theater and appreciate the
efforts of Manager Pearson to give them
a first class playhouse. Two scenic ar
lists have been engaged and are busily
at work preparing scenery for the open
ing performance. 1t is the policy of the
management to make complete change
of scenery each week for the new plays
produced.
The stage mountings, effects and cos
tunes are to be correct as to detail and
no old material will be used The prices

ton, wearing an Oregon boot. mounted
officer Cochran's horse, which stood
close by, and rode off at breakneck
speed. He rode down Olive to Sixth,
thence to Alameda street to Chinatown,
where he dismounted and repaired to an
opium joint, where he was soon after
apprehended by Officer Phillips.
He had not succeeded in getting rid of
the Oregon boot when the officer found
him. He was taken back to the city
Jail and locked up in a dark cell, where
he will be fed on bread and water for
few days. The only excuse Remington
had to offer was that he was dying for

PETTY THIEF ARRESTED.

At the corner of Main and First streets
yesterday noon Detectives Auble and
Hawley arrested a negro named Tom
Newman, whom they lodged in Jail upon
a charge of petty larceny. Newman is
accused of having stolen new lawn
mower from a residence in the south
west portion of the city, which he sold
to a secondhand store.
In the afternoon the prisoner was
brought before Justice Owens, who set
Monday afternoon as date for ar
raignment. Newman will be prosecuted
on the felony charge of petty larceny
with a prior conviction, states prison
offerse. On July 14th last he was con-
victed of the theft of lot of hose and
served 100 days in the city Jail. Now
he stands good chance of term in the
penitentiary, as the officers claim to
have a straight case against him.

LOS ANGELES THEATER.-Katie
Emmett and The Waits of New York are
coming to town next Monday December
A. This announcement should please
the lovers of melodrama. There will be
thrilling escapes, sensational climax
es and scenery galore. The success of
Miss Emmett's we'll known play is di-
rectly responsible for the number of
dramas touring the country that deal
with life in the great metropolis. But it
is hard to conceive of anything
new in the shape of sensation, for
The Waits of New York seems to have
monopolized everything in that line.
This year new scenery and effects are
promised and many novel specialties
are introduced.
AS an exponent of boys parts Miss
Emmett stands alone, being the only
soubrette on the American stage play
ing this line of business. The play is
one that has made several fortunes for
it's owners and its hold upon the theater
going public is as strong as it was sew
eral years ago. 1t deals with life in New
York, and the characters are well known
types Of the citizens of greater New

Thatcher'S minstrelS is sufficient to as
sure a splendid entertainment, for
Thatcher is known the world over as one
of the greatest minstrel leaders on the
stage. His association with Primrose &
West and such companies is significant
and places him at the very head of the
line. So it is pretty generally known
that whatever Thatcher gives will be
good. Such are the indications for his
present show, and, judging from the
names of his seconds, this will outrival
anything that he has ever before pre-
sented.
An unusual feature of the show will

direct the production of his plays at the
Burbank. Manager Pearson is indeed
fortunate in securing such man. Man
ager Ellis of the Darkest Russis COM
pany, in speaking of Mr.. BarboW said:
Med is one of the finest and mos expe-
rienced stage managers now in tt e Unit
ed States. AS an author his pl ays are
soaght for every season; as a man he
stands high in the profession az an up
right. honorable, reliable fellow" With
such assistants on the stage, expert
enced management in the front and the
best plays in the market, the Burbank
will surely be a success. The Biorci-
Breuer company are the deco rators of
the interior and are imparti ng their
artistic tastes not only to tn e decora-
tions but are also suggesting many i'm
provements on the stage scenM effects.

be the four end men in place of the reg
ulation two. These end men are an ad-
ditional strength on account of their
prominence in the business. With
Thatcher will appear such celebrities as
Burt Shepard, Andy Lewis and Ed Hef-
fernan, all of them famous burnt cork
artists and noted as being among the
best ''niggahs" in the country Then
there will be jolly Ed Marble as inter-
locutor Marble completes the group of

through her husbands bidding is made
to cast the blame for the crime upon
Gerald Fenton, whom she loved before
she became the subject of DR.. Belgraff's

loses his control over Agnes. Finally
she energies from the trance into which

ORPHEUM-Big bills are the rule at
the Orpheum, but seldom are such mann
moth programs scheduled as the one
which the management is offering this
week. 1t will be a double bill with
grand minstrel show and a seven-act
vaudeville program combined. OF the
many excellent shows that the Orpheum
has given this will probably be the great
est.

The man who had his ribs broken
while white-washing the fences at the
Ostrich Farm is progressing favorably
towards recovery.
The proprietors of this interesting
place have arranged with the Electric
Railway company that "stop-over" tick

the ostrich farm on their way to or from
Pasadena and Los Angeles.
Several birds are now laying eggs, and
in the nest of Mrs. Bob Fitzsimmons
four fine eggs are to be seen.

the most picturesque spots in the neigh
borhood of Los Angeles the grounds
having been laid out in the most attract
