The TheaterS

At least three of the acts on the bill
at the Los Angeles theater this week
are superior to the usual. Guise, John
Griffith and company and Mile. Nadje
please the spectator. OF the three it is
difficult to decide which is the best, al
although Mile. Nadje is featured as the
headliner.
Mile. Nadje has few equals. Her
dexterity in bodily contortions and her
strong teeth put her in a class by her
self. 1t is a relief to see a we'll de-
veloped woman whose strength seems
to add to her womanliness and grace.
Guise, female impersonator, Is not the
equal of Julian Eltynge, but Guise is
clever enough to deceive many. He is
artistic and graceful, and supplies one
of the entertaining features of the pro-
gram.
John Griff1th, known to many play
goers as tragedian, essays with his
company a presentation of the dream
scene from 1.-The Bells" Mr.. Griffith
shows power as an actor and uses it in
an artistic manner in the death scene.
Frank Whitman sings, dances and
plays the violin at the same time.
Thomas and Fuller tell some stories,
new and old, and sing a song or two.
The Marvel duo do an Indifferent roller
skating act, and the Laugh-o-Scope,
showing two good pictures, completes
the bill.
Supers, and feminine supers at that,
will grace the Orpheum stage the COM
ing week, for the first time in its his
tory. Miss Helen Grantley on her
prop plot for "The Agitator' requires
fifteen girls, and the Orpheum property

to look thin and oVerworked.
All the excavations have been finished
for the new Orpheum which F. B. Hen
derson is building in South Broadway,
and the concrete foundations are now
going in. The steel has been fabricated,
foundations are ready to receive it.
The Orpheum has put forth a new
program cover by far the most artistic
it has ever shown. The prevailing color
is warm blue, and two symbolic
figures occupy the front.
paid in Full" which will be played
at the Burbank next week, holds the
record of having made the regulations
and fortunes of the five people most
closely connected with it. Eugene
Walter, formerly an obscure newspaper
writer won fame as a dramatist Wa
genhals and Kemper the producers,
found in it one of their first big sue
cesses in many years.
Willis Marks is doing a stunt in fren-
zied theatricals. Mornings he goes to
his regular rehearsal Immediately
afterward he goes to the high school
and coaches the seniors in ]. M. Bar

him to the Y. NJ. c. A. and conducts
the rehearsals Of college Chums,"
which is to be presented soon by the
members of that organization. Then
he grabs off as much lunch as he can
carry in one hand and hurries to the
Burbank to make up for Tomaso in
1.-THE Rose of the Rancho"
H. S. Duffiield, the sixty-year-young
actor of the Burbank company has
been loaned to the Majestic for this
week to conduct the rehearsals of 1.-THE
Pride of Jennico," in which James K.
Hackett will make his initial appear
ance next Sunday night. Apropos of
this Mr.. Duffeld has recollected as a
coincidence that in 1870 he played Bar

Hackett, at the Olympic theater in st.
Louis.
