no Interview

Some time ago there appeared in a
Sam Jose paper an interview with James
A. Kidward, chief of the Garden City

severe comments upon Los Angeles in

Los Angeles evening paper and caused a
good deal of talk
Chief Glass yesterday received a let

entirely denies that any such interview

self in many words as being entirely en-
amored of Los Angeles and deeply de-

refers to his last visit to this city, and
declares that he would be an migrate

During Major Bells temporary alb

ORPHEUM.-"S Standing room only
has been the rule each evening since
Papinta opened in her set of four won
derfully attractive dances in which such
a wealth of artistic coloring and light
ing has been made use of to enhance the
stage effects. The supple, graceful
dancer would afford delightful exhibi-
tion of Terpsichorean art even if de-
prived of the adventitious aids of cleo
trio lights and mirror reflections. But
with the stage setting as shown at this
theater, with a semi-circle of immense
plate glass mirrors for a background
in which ten Papintas may be seen, the
effect is a theatrical illusion of the most
attractive and complete kind.
Taken with all the other numbers
which have heretofore been spoken of in
this column in detail, the bill this week
is the best seen here in long time.

which are the tornado, the collision at

ness, are all highly effective, and with
regard to the last named almost too
realistic. The interludes of operate
singing have been greatly improved by
the dropping out of the male portion of
the Castillo family. The sonora herself
furnishes some very pretty selections,
among which are some charming Span
ish songs which sound like variations
on THE Last Rose of Summer" and If
they are not always understood so far as
the language is concerned, they are very
effective from the way in which they are
rendered.
