tion to the matinee bill which is now
running daily at $3.50 to $50.
LOS. ANGELES-Fo the new bill
opening Monday afternoon at the Los
Angeles theater Sullivan and Considine
will offer a bill of genuine merit
throughout. There will be six entirely
new acts, besides the new comedy mo-
ton pictures.
First in order on the new bill will be
the immensely funny sketch entitled
"a Horse on Hogan" presented. by two
clever farceurs, Walter LIE Roy and
Florence Clayton.
The acrobatic part of the new bill
will be the four Indians, one of the
hest troupes of woman acrobats now
appearing in this country. The we'll
known team of burnt cork comedians

OK and Ward, two renowned minstrel
men who have just concluded a long
engagement with AL Fields minstrels.

MAJESTIC-Sunday night will be-
gin the closing week of the Kolb and
Dill engagement at the Majestic. 1.-THE
Merry Widow and the Devir' will be
continued for the third week, the un-
failing popularity of this piece fully
justifying it's continuance.
"The Merry Widow and the Devil"
has been without exception the most
successful burlesque ever presented
here The wealth of it's material in
the way of music and comedy places
it at once far above the average line
of piffle which is continually offered to
the public in the guise of musical COM

German comedians the best vehicle |
for their own talents and those of the
Kolb as the Devil has been |
particularly fine, his work has been |
more than mere comedy. 1t has been |
a most excellent piece of character |
work. Dill as Disch, the Devils Jani- |
tor-in- waiting, has brought his line of |

Percy Bronson has made his most
favorable impression as Prince Dan

good in her bit of character work.
The chorus has covered itself with
glory, particularly in the difficult
1Farsovian'' dance. and the scenic ef-
