LOS ANGELES-What will un-
! doubtedly prove one Of the
! greatest acrobatic acts ever seen on
q local vaudeville stage will be the
famous Schiavonys troupe of six per-
| formers who will be the big feature OF
the new Sullivan and Considne pro-
gram opening at the Los Angeles the
ater with the usual matinee on Mon .
day These famous European acrobats
now making their first American tour
under the direction of Sullivan and
Considine come with a reputation of
! being absolutely out of the ordinary
run of this style Of acts. The company
includes six people, four men and two

saults. All of these artists are Won
ders of agility and skill and their
feats are at times positively bewilder-
ing.
In this day when the word farce is
SO much abused and applied to all
things of noisy nature, one must
avoid the word in speaking of the time
ly oddity "A Trial Marriage" to be
presented by Henry Keene and olive
Briscoe. While it is one of the highest
types of literary farces, it's comedy
reaches out to the very broadest boun-
dares, being full of extremely funny
situations and a climax that is pro-
ductive of the heartiest laughs.
Hal Kelley and Flo wentworth also
offer a sketch of more than ordinary
merit in 1.-The Village Lookup" This
sketch contains many stirring dramatic
situations and sufficient comedy to
make it amusing and interesting. Ralph
Whitehead in his character delinea-
tions will be another splendid NUMBER
on the new bill.
Concluding will be Georgegta Nelson'
a charming and entertaining comedl-
enne, and Miller and Russell in their
ludicrously funny skt, THE Lunatlc
; and the Girl" Besides these new acts
there will also be two new selections or
comedy motion pictures.

who like many other society folk are
suffering from too much money ana
too much time to idle away or waste
in the hunt of pleasure. Marion STAN

bit strong for society when perhaps
she should have taken a more lively
interest in sports to which Howard
is devoted. Automobiling is his par

Runlors of divorce appear in glarlng
headlines in the afternoon papers. Mar

steps she may take, but her family
and Howard's arrive one by one, all
greatly agitated, over the dread or

he had with "Puss" at Palm Beach.
Norris too, is compelled by Marion to
admit his awkward position to ms

are exceedingly comic and the fun fast

predicament. The ending is happy, or
course. for Marion shows Howard the
error of his ways and makes Mrs.
Blakemore beat an undignified retreat.

Dill. having developed such an unpre-
cedented run, it will be continued at the
Majestic for one more week only. 1t is
generally conceded that this is the best
vehicle in which the Teutonic come

in anything outside of the regular line
of burlesques in which the team be-
came famous Max Dill, in his limited
sphere of activity, is no less clever, but
he will have his inning later in the en-
