crowded the house nightly. Tomorrow
night Oliver Doud Byron's famous drama

the first time in Los Angeles. From the
unprecedented success which it has me,
with throughout the country, it promises
a treat in the melodramatic line. The
scenic effects are especially grand, sur

to have reached the acme of perfection
in teaching his pets to do almost every
| thing but talk.
Among the new attractions engaged
| by Manager Walter on his recent Euro
| pean journey are the Adolphi Trio who
come direct from Paris and make theic
