FOR THE WEEK

of the current week. Mr.. Fisher intends
to devote his whole time to the Modjeska
season. Mr. Bacon will begin by bringing
the George p. Webster company here and
will present an attractive class of plays.
George Osbourne retires temporarily
from the stage management at the end of
this week, and will remove to his ranch
near Fresno. Mr. Osbourne has gained
golden opinions during his season here.
not only for his talent as stage manager
but also for the surprising versatility Of
his different assumptions. He is undoubt-
eddy the best all-round actor that has ever
visited Southern California, one who plays
the small part of restaurant walter with
a perfect sinking Of his own identity, and
on the other hand can rise to almost tragic
heights in the role of a Magda's father
All the intervening stages of theatrical
roles have been played by Mr.. Osbourne
with sucht general completeness that the
only wonder excited is that ne should not
have followed the popular movement and
have gone on the road as a STAR"

Doubtless many of the above-named at
fractions are also booked" for Los Ange-
les. 1t may be hoped that such of them
as are "booked" will also appear. The ex-
perience Of the past season has not been re-
assuring in this regard. Good attractions
may be always sure of doing good bust
ness here, and Indifferent ones also, al
times; but they appear to need powerful
amount of managerial persuasion.
