tribe who has succeeded in rounding
into the seventies in a hale and hearty
condition, with a promise of living to
the nineties.
There is no better indication of the
high class of the teeming population
of Los Angeles than the multiplica-
ton of high caste theaters and the de-
cay and disappearance of the obnoX-
ious dives. 1t is proof that our peo-
pie are eclectic.
Emma Abbott Popular
Emma Abbott in early days, and in
all days, in Los Angeles. was great
favorite with our people. The Angelic
City was the radiating point in start
ling and sensationally fatal episodes in
the life of this gifted woman. She
always liked to come here, and never
missed an opportunity of doing so. 1t
was my privilege of enjoying a warm
and exceedingly pleasant friendship
with both Eugene Wetherell and his
wife, who We're devoted to each other.
Emma had great ambition, and in
those days she was quite of opinion
that she was as good soprano as
Patti, in which she failed to find many
people to agree with her. l was able to
escape any collision on that point by a
true and frank confession that beyond
luxurious sense of enjoyment, knew
nothing of music. I remember that the
last talk we had upon the matter she
told me that havoc had been wrought
with PATHS vocal chords, that she had
recently, in Paris, been under vigorous
medical treatment, and that all her
scales had been cut down. 1 have no
doubt that to some extent all this was
true.
AS a consequence of her belief, about
this time the Abbott was often heard
in "TraViata," PATHS favorite role, and
in which nearly all the singing is done
by the soprano and the baritone. At
the time OF which l speak the Abbott
combination was singing a holiday en-
gagement at the Grand. On Christmas
eve her husband started off for Denver
to make preparations there for an en-
gagement which was to follow her Los
Angeles date. Wetherell was a large
and exceedingly handsome man. On
his arrival there, in midwinter, he was
attacked by pneumonia and died before
his distracted wife could reach him.
Knowing how much attached they were

opera house on Broadway was the
consummation, with the many other
thespian edifiCes which have sprung
up between whiles.
First Real Theater
There was another rather unique
place in those early days, where some
times amusements of mighty re-
cherche kind were brought off-no other
than Mott hall, over the Mott meat
market. About twenty years ago no
less a parsonage than Madame Adelina
Patti, the worlds renowned soprano,
accompanied by Scalchi the inimitable
contralto; Tagliapetra and other celeb
rites, sang in concert over the car
cases of beeVes and sheep and lambs,
in that same hall, and that was long
before the farewell" stage of the
diva.
1t was perhaps the learning of this
sacrilegious association which made
Patti fight so shy OF Los Angeles ever
since. From that day we have heard
nothing from Scalchi, and even Mr..
"Stonecutter"-the English for that eX-
quisite name, Signor Tagliapetra-has
seemed to prefer our room to our COM
pany.
In those old amusement days there
were a lot of snide resorts on the or
der of Bergles varieties at st. Louis
in the old days. One of those was on
the east side Of Spring street, whose
site is now covered by pretentious
business palaces. Here beer was
jerked about by active young women
OF the class Of the Bowery gals" in
New York. 1t was much frequented
by sporting men, prize fighters and all
that ilk.
Here l have seen Charley Mitchell
staggering about in the days when he
was young and handsome, and this
professor of the mitts could put on
more dog than any man of his rank
/ ever saw. Jim Jeffries could not, in
a lifetime ms long as Methusaleh's, ar
rive at a fraction OF the cheek of the
said Charles Mitchell.
Around on Court street there was
another such place, and it has kept
its ground, with very few omissions,
ever since, varying the order of its en-
tertainments. In this latter resort
have seen the celebrated prize fighter,
Jem Mace, who is the only one Of the

cling players. They certainly had the
most extraordinary drop curtain that
was ever shown on earth. The pros
cenium arch was surmounted by a
painted effigy of the "Divine William"
who looked like Teuton who had Just
come from Bingen on the Rhine or
from some penetralia in Swabia. The
body of the curtain was overspread by
a mass of partl-colored advertisements
whose tout ensemble suggested more
a diseased liver ripped open and
spread broadcast than anything one
could speak of.
Old Turner Hall
Notwithstanding this pictorial mon-
strosity, very often some sterling
dramatic stuff was played upon boards
which ordinarily served as the vaulting
Hoor of the German athletes who owned
the building, and whose gymnastic
appointments were in an ample room
back of the stage.
AS / shall not have occasion in this
brief sketch again to refer to old Tur-
ner hall, 1 will simply say that, in the
old days, Miss Hortense Sacriste, the
wife of the late Senator Stephen M.
White, Miss Mamie Perry and other
OF our notabilities figured either hstri-
ohlcally or Vocally on those boards, of
advancement Of some local charity.
The first pretentious theater ever
erected in Los Angeles was built by
the late O. w. Childs on the east
side of Spring street, near Second
where the Orpheum theater now
stands. For those days it was very
handsome structure with an insignia
cant facade, but good and modern ap-
pointments both In the auditorium and
for the stage. It's builder was too
modest to name the building for him
self and 1t was known under the some
what magniloquent title of the Grand
opera house. 1t was opened by the
distinguished French actress, Mile
Rhea. MIR. Childs made quite neat
address from one of the proscenium
boxes, and the affair passed off with
great eclat, the elite OF the town, Of
course, being present and giving the
glad hand.
This was the first distinctive break

At the Theaters When Los Angeles Was a Village

r OS ANGELES has always had the
reputation of being a good show
town. She enjoyed this distinc-
tion even when she had a population
slightly rising on 5000. Twenty years
ago, when the population of the town
was anywhere between 10000 and 10000,
the National Opera company took in
at Hazards pavilion in one week $47,-
900. Shortly after it was compelled to
disband in Washington. d. c., because
that was comparatively a poor show
town. The elder of the Locke brothers
had carried 1t all over the United States
and found Los Angeles the greenest
spot on the continent.
These boys We're Pasadenans, their
father being one of the original Indiana
colony. If this city was responsive to
high class opera it is needless to say
that a circus has always had a drawing
power equal to a porous plaster. The
managers of the show that held forth
at Prayer park few weeks ago said
that they took in more money here in
the two days in which they played
than in any two days they had shown
in all their show history.
This is, of course, owing to the large
"paisano" population. The average
Mexican or Southern Californian of
the lower classes would rather die
than miss circus. 1t may be
question as to whether, occasion
ally, some of them have not died to
furnish a Compatriot the means Of
crowding his person into the sawdust
arena.
Probably the first place in Los An
geles which had any pretensions to be
called a theater was the old Merced.
1t was running full-hedged when
came here on a visit In the spring of
1873. 1t was at that time a variety
show of fair pretensions, belonging, IL
/ remember right, to old man Abbot.
1t was on Main street, near the Pico
house, on the same side of the street.
Vivian, an English variety actor of
some note, was playing to fairly good
houses at that time.
The Turner's also We're i'm the habit

to each other, I can well imagine her
grief.
Singularly enough, Emma Abbott
next year played a holiday engagement
in Los Angeles, this time at the Spring
street theater. Her company opened
in robin Hood" Being quite busy,
l did not send my card back on the
stage as 1 was wont frequently to do
with her, nor did l call on her at her
hotel earlier. AS L was going down
to Santa Monica next day, as was my
usual custom, messenger boy handed
me heavy mourning envelope which
proved to be note from her asking
me to come and see her at the Nadeau.
found her still in deep grief for Weth-
erell. In the course of her remarks
she said:
Poor Gene! When he left me last
year he was so particular in caring for
me and cautioning me to take care of
myself in this beautiful, sunny Los
Angeles, while he went to cold and
chill Denver, and to his death!"
In Good Health
When 1 had this melancholy CONVEX
sation with Emma Abbott she was in
no sense whatever what the Scotch call
fey. She was oppressed by no appre-
tensions whatsoever There was moth
ing of Lochiels Coming events cast
their shadows before" about her. She
was in exceeding good health, but like
her husband, the year before, she was,
If anything, in too good health-that is,
too fat. These are the kind of people
that pneumonia too often takes hold
of. She closed up her engagement here
and started out to open the new the
ater at Ogden. She carried out this
contract and was at once thrown on
her back at Salt Lake, as her husband
had been the year before, and died
there as he had done in Denver a
place with an analogous climate.
In the early amusement resorts of
Los Angeles 1t would not be seemly to
omit reference to HaSard's pavilion.
This great building was put up by
our sometime mayor as a proof of his
confidence in the future of our city.
1t did good and varied service in its
time, and came to its end only the
other day. During its history, the

to be regretted, however, that the

That mans restriction to the second

to courtship is refuted at Martha's
