/ pheum for the week commencing to-
morrow night an original musical farce
comedy with spectacular features.
Edith Helena, who claims the greatest
range of any singer, will be heard In
seevral of the selections which made
her the rage in the European centers.
The Six Proveanis, pretty girls in
pretty costumes, will perform feats on
the bicycle. One, a little madcap
midget, puts so much vim into her
work that she fairly brings the house
to its feet with enthusiasm. The Reiff
Bros. will present one of the neatest
dancing acts of vaudeville. Billy Van,
with a new monologue, the Lucania
trio of acrobats, Carter and Bluford,
new motion pictures and last, but not
least, Edward Clark and his pretty
widows, will complete the bill.
HOTCHKISS-The Howard and
Hamilton stock company, a strong
dramatic organization headed by the
eminent comedian, George B. Howard.
arrived in Los Angeles Thursday from
the east to open the New Hotchkiss
theater under new management and
new policy. Christopher, Jr!." gen.
uine comedy that kept New York
laughing for over a year, will be the
initial offering with George B. Howard
in the title role. Throughout the east
1t is the popular custom of theatrical
managers to set aside one afternoon in
the week, usually Wednesday, espe-
cially as a ladies' day, to be known as
bargain matinee day" It is the pur-
pose of the present management to in
augurate this custom at the New
Hotchkiss theater; so in addition to
the regular Saturday and Sunday matt
nees, Wednesday of each week will be
bargain matinee day." with any seat
in the house at 25 cents.
GRAND-There will be a change of
menu at the Grand opera house for
the week which commences with this
afternoons performance of "How Bax-
ter Butted In" This is the very lat
est sort of melodrama, containing as
1t does a great deal of farce comedy
and many musical and dancing spe-
cialties. In fact it might almost be
termed a melodramatic farce comedy
with musical attachments. 1t is not
the first time the Ulrich stock company
has ventured to vary the routine with
novel features, and the success which
has met previous attempts has encour-
aged this innovation.
PEOPLES-The Ethel Tucker stock
company at the New Peoples theater.
commencing Sunday matinee, will pre-
sent "Sapho." In again reviving this
world-renowned story the management
is not trying to cater to the morbid or
the immortality of the public, which idea
is sometimes held by the uninltiated.
In presenting "Sapho" they are CIV
ing to the theater- r-going public gem
of dramatic construction, also a vehicle
to display the talents of their company.
While in the original French, the
story contained some things which
would hardly be condoned on the
American stage, a careful revision of
the play has done away with all OBJ
jectionable features, and leaves only
one of the strongest moral lessons
taught by any dramatic production.
FISCHERS-Today' matinee and
tonight's performances will conclude
the run of "The Crystal Slipper" at
Fischer's On Monday Manager
Fischer will offer another of Fred L.
Grifiths' musical farces, "Jolly Old
Sports" The title indicates that it is
full of fun and jollity. The musical
numbers will again be a feature and
the chorus numbers will be lavishly
costumed. Comedian Billy Onslow will
be one of the old sports and Comedian
LaZone the other. Richard Burton
will have the role Of a young scion of
wealthy family, who is trying to win
an heiress. Miss Annie Baumann will
be the wealthy young widow, proud of
her ancestry and Miss Nellie Mont
gomery Will have role fitting her vi
vacious personality. Both will intro
duce new songs.
