The next ballet at the London Empire
after "Coppelia," George Edwardes
writes Manager Clarence Drown of the
Orpheum, will be Round the Town"
A ballet by this name was presented
at the Empire some seven years ago.
The new version will present the life
of the average business man, or rather,
1t will present a day in the life of a
man who sees everything in London
that is worth seeing-Covent Garden in
the early morning. when the mbering
wains are bearing their burden through
Henrietta street; Throgmorton street
at eleven, when the Kaffir market doffs
its silk hat and discusses everything
in the middle of the road; Bond street.
with its tea shops in the afternoon; and
outside the Empire itself in the even
ing. Such ballet is quite In Mr.. Ed
wardes' vein, and he may be trusted to
give all the telling little snapshots of
the great city, correct to the wrinkle
of a coat sleeve.

L June 4, Manager Wyatt of the
Mason will introduce to the Los
Angeles public Harry James travesty
stars, q galaxy of vocalists, comedians
and dancers who will begin a twelve
weeks season Of up-to-date burlesque.
A triumvirate of stars we'll known to
the Los Angeles amusement public head
the organization. Rice and Cady and
Bobby North are too we'll known in this
city to need lengthy mention. They
are creators Of clean comedy work,
original in their methods and funny.
Heading the female aggregation is
Rosemary Glosz, che of the best known
mezzo sopranos possessor of a good
voice, a fine appearance and a large
wardrobe. Miss Glosz has Just re-
turned from years engagement at the
Folies Bergere Paris. Edward F. Gal
lagher, last season with the RED
Feather" a big handsome fellow, will
be the leading baritone. James T.
Kelly, one of the best known Irish

Music Notes

7 IT is now arranged that Ellen Beach
Yaw will give a reception concert
at the Mason opera house on Friday
coming home by a Los Angeles aud
ience after two years study and
operate successes abroad. Some years
ago the New York Herald published a
column article about a new prodigy
who had been discovered in the west.
with the greatest vocal range of any
singer recorded in musical history. In
a day this young girl had become
famous. After years of study Ellen
Beach Yaw returns to her native land
with the distinction of being one of the
worlds great artists. Miss Yaw will be
assisted by Senior Ricardo Ruiz, vio-
linist, and an accompanist. But one
recital will be given in this city.
The past three seasons have demon
strated the fact that Los Angeles
should possess a great festival chorus
and choral organization which would
present oratorio works in an adequate
manner. The Apollo club filled a por-
ton of this want and the Los Angeles
Choral society made up another part,
but the requirements of the Innes band
at the time Of the May festival last
season showed that at least double the
voices were needed to secure the proper
results. All those who are interested in
the formation OF such chorus should
send their names and addresses to j.
l.. Allen, secretary pro tenn, at room
403 Mason opera house, for an imme-
diate enrolment, so that the musical
committee may arrange to hear their
voices and pronounce upon their eff
cheney.
The third annual concert given by
the Pomona Glee and Mandolin club in
this city will take place In Simpson
auditorium Friday evening, June 8.
Prof. Bacon has been coaching the Po-
mona boys for the past season and
their finished work. noticeable during
their spring tour of Southern Califor-
MIA towns, made a fine showing of the
proficiency of the boys and the clever
training given them by Prof. Bacon. 1t
Is strictly a student affair, although
quite a number OF society folk have
promised to act as patrons and pat
ronesses.
Arrangements have been completed
whereby the Apollo club will have a
home In the Auditorium building, now
nearing completion at Fifth and Olive
streets Henry Schoenefeld will be the
director and Sparks Nj. Berry viii be
the manager. The contract calls for
at least three oratorios during the sea-

business methods which on,

IIT o, U.," the satire on modern
business methods which opens
tomorrow night at the Hotch-
kiss theater, will have one of the
strongest casts that any local stock
production has had, Included in the
list for the first two weeks will be
Clarence Kolb and Max Dill, two of
the best known exponents OF German
comedy in America; Ben T. Dillon,
who plays straight comedy and Jewish
parts; Charlotte Vidot, who gives the
famous Maori dance; George ]. Wall
lace, a well-known comedian, and
Robert Pitkin and Bessie Tannehill
After the first two weeks the latter two
will go to Portland, where they will
join the opera company which Ed Sea-
mans is sending there.
In the new company which is to open
at the Hotchkiss tomorrow night there
will be fourteen principals, thirty-six
in the chorus and an orchestra of ten
pieces, which will make a total strength
of fifty people.
The Maori dance, which will be given
by Mile. Vidot and twelve girls, created
a great sensation in the east. 1t is the
custom in New Zealand, where the
dance originated among the natives,
for the women to dance for their
lovers and the one who dances most
bewitchipgly wins a husband. That
part of the ceremonial Is omitted by
the girls who give the act at the
Hotchkiss, but the curious figures of
the dance are all given.

satire II. o. u" The comedy was orig
fnally produced by Kolb and Dill dur
ing their memorable run in San Fran
cisco and was one of the greatest sue
cesses of their career. Besides parts
that were written especially for the
two comedians the satire contains ex-
cellent parts that will admirably suit
Mr.. Dillon, as we'll as Miss Tannehill
and Mr.. Pitkin. The musical numbers
are numerous and meritorious, a fea-
ture of which will be the introduction
of Charlotte Vidot in the famous New
Zealand Maori Indian dance, per-
formed together with a dozen special
ly selected dancers. The usual change
of bill weekly will be continued, and
during the twelve weeks engagement
many of the Rogers Brothers famous
burlesques will be given. The same
popular prices will continue and mat
inees will be given every Saturday and

acterlzation of the gentle, kindly old
man, will be seen In the part of rip"

rate stage setting in most of the scenes

promised that it shall be put on with
the same careful attention to detail
that has made that house worthy of
special notice. Miss Lawton has
played the role of Gretchen several
times and Is very happy in that part

NOTES BY THE
MATINEE MAN

Since Miss Marlowe and Mr.. Sothern
became artist associates as co-stars
eighteen months ago their work has
been a matter of much attention by
the profession and public The con-
clusion Is now justified, according to
letter to Manager Oliver Morosco
from a Chicago friend, that the asso-
for the heartiest satisfaction. Many
distrustful observers of happenings
theatrical predicted when the copart-
nership was first announced that not
even for one year would the two play
ers remain together. Professional
jealousy, 1t was claimed, would result
in severance of relations. The second
season now is drawing to it's end and
the continuance of the association for
another year is assured. There has
been not the slightest rumor OF mis-
understanding between Miss Marlowe
and Mr.. Sothern. and there has been
discoverable not the least trace OF 1t
In their work. 1t appears from all indi-
cations that here is an instance where
two players have been true enough to
themselves and sincere enough in their
devotion to their art to direct all their
talents and energies to the perfecting
of the work on which they were en-
gagged. They have lost sight of per-
sonal differences. II any such possibly
existed, and by striving for betterment
of themselves along the lines OF ar
tlstic achievement rather than of per-
sonal glorifica ton have added greatly
to the sum total OF true artistic ac-
complishment in this country, and are
giving to the American stage perform
ances of as fine value and, as great
beauty as Henry Irving and Ellen
Terry gave to England and to us dur
ing the best years Of their inspiring
association.

A conditions are at present 1t APP
n pears that lovers of the theater
will have to depend almost en-
tirely on the efforts Of the stock COM
panies for the present.
1t Is certain that there will be a
dearth of eastern attractions here for
q time, but Just how long that time
will be can not yet be told.
Manager Wyatt Of the Mason opera
house has written TO Klaw & Erlanger
to find out what the prospects of at
fractions from the syndicate are, but
does not expect any definite answer for
several days yet.
L. e. Behymer, who has pretty much
his own way In musical affairs in Los
Angeles, is going east In August to
arrange for musical attractions, and 1t
is possible that he will bring back a
few of different nature. Mr.. Behy-
mer's Sarah Bernhardt adventure has
given the genial manager encourage
ment and he has determined to conquer
new fields.
What Mr.. Behymer will bring here
and where he will play his attractions
is question for speculation. The audi
torium at Venice proved sufficiently at
tractive with Bernhardt as the draw
ing card, but 1t is hardly likely that
lesser light could allure the theater-
lovers so far away from home.
There is also Temple auditorium, now
In course of construction, to be reck-
oned with. but the plans for attractions
at that new house are also principally
in the air at present. Manager Berry
may have some surprises in store for
the good people before very long-nay,
II Is as good as certain that he will
have.
All are unanimous that 1t Is time Los
Angeles had great auditorium, and
the opening of this one will be an oc-
casion for rejoicing.
In stock, things are looking brighter,
for before very long there will be a
new leading man to cater to the fan
cies of the matinee girls at the Belasco.
A stock company without a leading
man is worse than no stock company
at all. Eugenie That's Lawton is back
again-much against her will, for she
was having a delightful vacation but
back again nevertheless. This also is
cause for rejoicing. Margaret Lang
ham will leave Tuesday for visit in
the east. and she will be missed from
the theater for six weeks. Miss Lang
ham has filled Miss Lawton's place
since her absence and the task has
been a trying one because of the gen
.eral upset in theatrical affairs. She
stepped into a difficult place, and filled
1t with much credit.
