Coming Attractions

| bOh6ANh IHEAIER - advance
Anrouncement.) Next week Manager
Pearson will introduce new feature in
place of the usual musical program. For
the first time in this city, or in the United
States, will appear Sonora Maria r. de
| Castillo, late soprano prima donna at the
National theater City of Mexico and the
| leading tenor, Senor Jose E. del Castillo
They come directly from this enga cement
which they recently terminated after a
most successful season. The repertory
| of these famous artists contains many
rare musical gems, including choice se-
lections from all the we'll known Italian
| and Spanish operas, both comic and cas-
sical, few of which are "The Iron Ring"
| "The Tempest" I'll Trovatore," Gar
men," Faust" LA Traviata," etc., ETC.
| Besides these selections they also appear
| in innumerable popular Mexican and
Spanish songs, typical and characteristic.
These artists are considered the best
who have appeared this season in the
| City of Mexico. A splendid program is
arranged for the coming week.
| Commencing Monday night, Lincoln j.
Carter's play, 1.-The Tornado" will be
given its first presentation in this city.
| The first act opens on quiet Fourth of
| July on Wisconsin farm, with heavy
stage setting of an oldfashoned home
stead, with its outlying buildings, farm
| implements, shrubbery and big trees, all
| of which are swept away by cyclone in
| the first act. This catastrophe, how
ever, does not exhaust the incidents of
| the play. In the second act there is
| realistic collision at sea. When the cur
! tain rises the vessel is exposed, swaying
with the motion of the waves. On the
yardarm of mast are the sailors furling
a monster sail forty feet above the deck,
the wind cracking the canvas and the
lightning playing vividly. These scenes
are followed quickly by steamer colli-
sion, the waves tossing the men from
crest to crest. A street scene in Chicago,
the water front, the Randolph street via
duct, and the dissecting room of med
ical college are also shown. Mr.. Carter
has exhibited wide range of ingenuity
in inventing these sensations, and pro-
viding way by which they may be pro-
duced in realistic manner. Plays of
this kind fill a public want, as is evil
dcnced by the interest with which they
are received. The Burbank intends to
| cater to all and change its style of bill
weekly. The large stage, with its excel
lent, up-to-date equipment, will faith
fully portray all the phases of this re-
markable play.
ORPHEUM. - advance Announce
ment.) 'The greatest vaudeville
show ever seen in Los An
geles' is the headline Of the
Orpheum's advertisements this week,
and from the names included in it's bill
more truthful line was never written
Every member star, and fitted to head
any bill in the world.
That graceful danseuse, Papinta, heads
the list. She is well known to the Los
Angeles theater goers, and promises on
this visit new dances, new effects, and
new dresses. Her dancing is unlike that
of others, 1t Is superior to all of them; it
is artistic and attractive, which ex-
plains why she is such a favorite and in
such general demand.
| Gus Williams, the famous Dutch COM
| edian, Is second on the bill, although he
was star when Papinta was a child.
| There is probably no comedian on the
stage today better or more favorably
| known than Gus Williams, and he de-
serves his popularity for, in the express
| sive language of the vaudeville stage
| he never fails "to make good" Hilda
Thomas, the clever soubrette, and Frank
| Barry, talented pianist and accompan-
| list, are next on the list. She is probably
| the most popular singing soubrette in
vaudeville, while her husband is a fin
| ished musician, whose Accomplishments
| to her songs are artistically played. An
other new feature of this wonderful
show is Frencelli and Lewis, named
operatic vocalists and travestists. Miss
Frenceli has a superb soprano voice of
great clearness and volume, while Mr..
Tom Lewis baritone is magnificent
| in It's strength and tone. Solos and duets
are rendered with charming effect by
these gifted artists. Crawford and
| Manning, the musical and acrobatic
mokes, will introduce new act. The
Deonzos, the clever acrobatic novelties,
will be seen one more week, as will Adgie
and her savage pets. This bill insures
standing room only each evening, and
the suggestion is made that tickets be
ordered well in advance. The usual
Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday matt
| nees will be given.
