Theatrical Notes.

The Olympia Opera Company held
the boards at the Gondran theater
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights,
with a matinee Sunday afternoon, and
repeated the success scored on the oc-
casion of its previous appearance
earlier 10 the season. The company
is exceptionally well-balanced, and
mum bers among its principals clever
little actress aud singer IN the person
of Miss Lucille DeVal, who possesses
a soprano voice of unusual depth and
sweetness. Lee Adde'S comedy work
is uniformly good, and excellent sup
port is accorded him by Joe Alexan-
der, Harry Dale and Percy Matson.
Miss Haysel Coultertmakes as pretty
soubrette as one could wish to see.
The company is seen at its best in
]" La Mascotte " and "Oiivettte. .
The Ell Dorado Stock Company will
open three day engagement at the
new theater with matinee tomorrow
afternoon. It's repertoire includes
"The Lighthouse Robbery" "Vir-
ginia, /" Knobs o. Tennessee" and
other Well-knoWn plays, and up-to-date
vaudeville specialties will be intro
duced between the acts at each per-
Torrance.
The management of the new play
house has secured a gala attraction
for Monday night, Jan. %, when the
original Weber & Fields production
of the successful musical comedy,
Hoity Toity, will be given by
company composed of forty people,
including several singers and dancers
of national reputation. This attrac-
ton promises to prove the treat of
the season and was only secured at
great expense, it being agreed that
the first $500 received from the sale OF
tickets should go to the company and
the next $50 to the management of the |
theater, additional receipts to be d.
vided on the percentage basis. The |
prices of admission will be as fol
lows: Box seats, $3.50: orchestra
circle and parquette, 81; balcony, so |
and Is cents. It is to be hoped that |
local play-goers will show their APP
probation of Manager Won Lotten's |
enterprise in booking this attraction
by croWding the theater to its capacity |
on the night of Jan. Is.

To the Army of Northern Virginia:
After four years of arduous service,
marked by unsurpassed courage and
fortitude, the Army of Northern Vir-
gln1a has been compelled to yield to
overwhelming numbers and resources.
need not tell the brave survivors of
so many hard-fought battles who have

avoid the useless sacrifice of those
whose past services have endeared
them to their countrymen. By the

can return to their homes and remain
there until exchanged. You will take
with you the satisfaction that pro-
ceeds from consciousness of duty
faithfully performed, and I will pray
that merciful God will extend to you
His blessing and protection. With
