| RITRBANK THEATER.-(Ad An
nouncement.) For the week beginning to-
morrow the Belasco-Thall Stock company
offers the best and funniest of all Ameri-
can comedies, "Incog.' The well known
reputation of this excellent organization
insures a good production, and the large
and apprecative audiences that nightly
greet them is unerring proof of the strong
hold they have already secured upon the
theater-going people of Los Angeles.
The plot of "Incog' hinges upon the re-
semblance each bears the other of three
young men, one of whom, Tom Stanhope,
is in love with Kate, the companion of
Isabelle, the maid of his father, General
Stanhope; the other two young men are
twins, Harry and Dick Winters. the latter
married, and the former engaged to be.
Upon Toms return to his fathers iii dis
guise, whence he has been driven
the fun begins. One after another of the
three "Dromios" appears upon the scene,
and each in turn is claimed by different
women, much to the generals and their
own surprise. From the generals house
the scene of action changes to the asylum
of DR.. Hartman, German specialist,
and the fun continues fast and furious.
Mr.. Wright Huntington will be seen as
Tom Stanhope, the favorite character of
Mr.. Dickson. Mr. Osborne portrays the
cranky old general; Miss Titte plays Isa-
belle. and Miss Crosby, who will be remem-
bered for her clever work as Miss Hawkes.

mers. Little Venie. the child phenomenon,
will appear in her inimitable specialties.
Miss Howe, Miss Kingsley, Mr.. Bacon.

The great Chinese drama, "The First
Born" is in preparation, under the per-
sonal supervision of Mr.. Belasco, and will
stagings. costumes and accessories of the
original production.
ORPHEUM.-(Advance Announcement.)
A bill replete with good things, comedy
predominating, is promised at this house
next week. The Orpheum trump card
next week is probably up the sleeve of that
mysterious machine, the biograph. With
| in the last three weeks views of the
wrecked battleship Maine she lies now
in Havana harbor. with other views of Ha-
vana and the characters there famous,
| have been procured for the biograph.
Shown in New York city, they
have been an exceptionally strong attrac-
ton, and they have been hurried across the
continent, the local biograph being under
the control of a company, which secured
for the machines in the east the harbor
views. Pictures of the Spanish battleship
Vizcaya, Fitzhugh Lee, and the battleship
Texas are also to be shown.
The sister of the girl who sent "Ta-ra-ra-
boom-de-ay" ringing down the corridors
of time is a prominent figure among the
new people booked to open at this house
tomorrow night. Lizzie Collins is an Eng
lish music hall artist. of reputation as a
clever dancer, in a new style. Her COM
panon, Albert Athas, performs acrobatic
feats, and serves as a foil for Collins
dainty mannerisms. A bit of black-face
comedy by Montgomery and Stone as
modern minstrels" can doubtless be de-
pended on for the usual potpourri of-songs
sayings and dances that distinguish a
black face act. Real merit is promised to
be found in the performance of McCale and
Daniels, Irish comedians, who, in lines
very different from those usually followed
by comedians of similar classification
made the "hit of the bill' during lengthy
; engagement at the San F'rancicso Or
pheum John w. West, character com.
edian and musical artist, completes the lis
of new people on the bill.
The principal holdovers are Rudinoff, The
Grace Forrest.
