first Los Angeles production at his
hands, and this will be the first time it
has been seen on a local stage, or has
been done by any one outside of Lew
Fields own company, which presented
it in the Lew Fields theater in New
York on its premier, opening the house
with it. Written by Glen McDonough
and Victor Herbert, it represents the
ripest skill of both celebrated writer's
There is merely skeleton of plot
to "NOrdland,' but such as it is it per-
n1its of quite a decidedly funny action.
Hubert and Katherine are brother and
sister. He has been stolen from New
York as a youth, and taken to Nord-
land. After years, Katherine arrives in
Nordland as the ambassadress from
the United States, now under petticoat
government. She is the double Of the
Nordland queen, whose place she takes
for day, and in that brief interval
many things happen.
LOS ANGELES-Carl Herman. pre-
senting what is said to be a remark
| able act, will be at the Los Angeles
theater for an engagement of one
week, beginning with a matinee per-
Torrance tomorrow. Herman is
known variously as the Electric King
and as 1.-THE Lightning Conductor"
Seemingly, electricity has no power to
harm this man. He receives into his
body currents that would kill most peo-
pie and experiences no ill effects. He
transforms himself into veritable hu-
man electric storage battery and, once
charged, throws off sparks and sheets
of flame from his finger tips, ignites
a roll of paper from the tip of his
| tongue and performs other astonishing
and as yet unexplained feats 1t is
! claimed that he once subjected him
self to the currents of the deadly cleo
| trio chair without experiencing the
| least inconvenience as a result of his
awful test.

sets of lovers, and a case of mistaken
identity still further to complicate mat
tiers. In the end the tangle resolves it
self satisfactorily. Nancy's comedy is
a great success and so Is Nancy Sc
Co."
ORPHEUM-Every one of the four
new acts that come to the Orpheum
for the week beginning Monday matt
nee, January A. has been a headliner
elsewhere. And as a headliner is the
top in vaudeville, and as a bill is usu-
ally contented with one such act, the
superexcellence of the coming bill may
be readily seen when four new ones
come, and two of the holdovers are
ranking in the headline class.
First place-the headliner of the
headliners, as it were-is accorded to
Gus Edwards blonde typewriters, an
aggregation of half a dozen real light
haired-not light headed-young wo-
men, who are experts in the song and
dance line. In an office, with Arthur
Conrad as Kid Dooley, the fresh boy,
they disport themselves, while the head
of the concern is away, in singing,
dancing, concerted numbers and the
like. Conrad has a large part in the
fun, and his agility and versatility
come in most handy One of the songs,
Anybody Want Blonde?' is espe-
cially good.
Harry Tate's English company comes
to present Motoring" a skit depicting
the adventures of an "aw-haw' En-
glishman who has taken out his ma
chine with his knowledge limited to
the proper toys to wear. The fresh
son, the dunderhead chauffeur and the
unlocking populace of ribald tendency
furnish a good background.

ginning Sunday matinee, January 8, is
the first Of a long series of up-to- date

times in the past that it is probably
familiar to a majority of the city's
regular theatergoers; yet it never fails
to attract large audiences. Attendance
at the Majestic last week was most
gratifying to the management, and
there is no reason to suppose that the
final week of the engagement will re-
cord any falling off.
Miss Melville, who created the char
acter of isis and whose stage fame
rests securely upon that foundation, is
surrounded this year by what is prob
ably the best supporting company she
has ever had; certainly it is the best
company she has ever brought to the
coast. In the cast are several members
of the original isis Hopkins organiza-
ton, among them that fine old actor,
George H. Maxwell, who plays PA
Hopkins" and the no less artistic Jo-
sephine Haynes, who is seen as MA .
BURBANK-Patron of the Burbank
theater anticipate a hilarious week in
the presentation at that house Of
Nancy & Co." the funniest and most
successful comedy from the pen Of the
late Augustin Daily. The piece was
adapted by Mr.. Daily from a German
play by Julius Rosen, and when first
produced in New York city with such
celebrities in the cast as Ada Rehan,
May Irwin, Mrs. Gilbert, Edith Kings
ton, John Drew, Otis Skinner, James
Lewis and William Gilbert broke all
records. Since then it has been played
frequently in stock, the last time In
this city about two years ago at the
Burbank, when the comedy's popu-
larity was again emphasized by ca
pacity audiences through the week.
The story of the play revolves about
the secret labors of Nancy Brasher,
who writes a comedy, in collaboration
with a certain Keefe O'Keefe and who
is suspected by her husband Of being in
love with her collaboration, the hus-
band being kept in ignorance of the
comedy and of his wife's share in its
writing. incidentally there are three

designed and executed for a Pasadena
residence, the subject of which is a
Viking ship, and tie coloring very
rich; an opalescent glass lamp shade,

league, among which is a figure study
by Anton Molkenboer. E. C. Maxwell,
curator Of the gallery, exhibits paint
ing by Gutzon BOrglum, which was
executed in his early days in the west,
and is interesting as the first work Of
an artist who has won fame for him
self by years of hard work and study.
The smaller gallery is entirely devoted
to the artistic photography of Louis
Fleckenstein, in which may be seen
some wonderfully clever compositions,
excellent character sketches and fine
portraits.
j. w. Clawson, portrait painter, has a
commission for the portrait of T. E.
Gibbon to be executed in the near flu
ture. Mr.. Clawson is an artist of talent
and training, and his portraits possess
many admirable qualities, their flesh
tones being most excellent. He is at
present engaged upon a NEUROLOGICAL
subject, "Ariadne," a composition Of
unusual merit; the nude figure of a
maiden lying asleep is beautifully
posed and drawn, the light upon it well
understood and handled. The back
ground for this subject is charming in
tone and quality, and so well do the
figure and background compose that
the nudity does not obtrude itself, rs
Is so often the case; but we enjoy the
exquisite lines and tones of the figure
In perfect harmony with its surround
ings.
Mr.. Clawson has a decided prefer
ence for biblical and NEUROLOGICAL sub
jects, but his success in portraiture
keeps him engaged upon that work. A
full length portrait of Mrs Samuel
Haskins, not finished but embodying
all the essentials for a splendid pic
ture, is now on his easel. 1t has the
attraction of vivacity and spontaneity
and will no doubt portray striking
characteristics of the lady.
A good and well-known example of
Mr.. Clawson's portraiture is owned by
the Jonathan club, and hung there. II
is of the late Ferd K. Rule, who or
ganized that club and was one of its
presidents. Mr.. Clawson was at one
time caricature artist on the San Fran
cisco Call and a recent drawing OF
this nature of DR.. Burton of Long
| Beach illustrates his ability in high
class caricature.
