LOS ANGELEs-It would be difficult
to pick the headliner from among thS
six acts which will form the bill open
| ing at the Los Angeles theater Monday
matinee. Music, fun and skill are al
most equally divided among the acts.
Perhaps one that will prove most
popular with local audiences, because
| of its life. music and fun, is Tim Mo
Mahons pullman Porter Maids" with
| the clever young comedian, Ned (Cork)
] Norton. This is more in the nature or
| musical comedy than vaudeville
act Mr.. McMahon's ability as a pro-
ducer for the vaudeville stage is well
| known by reason of his success with
| the watermelon Girls and his Southern
Revue, which have been seen here. The
act consists Of eight sprightly singing
and dancing girls, headed by Ned Nor
ton, They will offer series of rollick-
| ing darky songs and dances. Twelve
complete sets of scenery are required
| for this production. One of them shows
| a railroad train, running at apparently
| a mile a minute clip, with all the Pull
man Maids aboard and with the "cook'
! hanging on behind.
Another act of unusual interest TO
| AngeIenos is the playlet 1.-THE Third
Race" written by j. It. Pendegast, a
] well known local writer. This is being
presented by Miss Viola Crane and her
| company and is said to be one of the
best sketches that have even been seen
on this circuit, 1t describes In Viflle
manner the struggle of a woman
against poverty and adversely. kate
Reagan, the character played by MISS
! Crane, is a widow of a race horse own
er whose property has all been disposed
| of with the exception of her pet hofse'
Flashlight. Another horse owned by a
man named Winslow is entered In a
race against Flashlight. out or TINS
| situation grows an interesting story.
What will prove a treat is Anita
Diaz' monkeys. These highly trained
simian wonders give an exhibition that
| is interesting and amusing. George b.
| Alexander. the "high- toned hobo" is
magnetic individual with brilliant fun
making material and decidedly clever
and original method. Harry and Kate
Mitchell will present a conglomeratlon
OF comedy. patter, songs and piano
playing called "Crazy for a Minute
and Harry Tsuda, skillful Japanese
eouilibrist, will furnish plenty OF the
sensational with his astounding feats,
There will also be new comedy motlon
pictures.
LEVY'S-Another good bill is sched-
uled for Levy's Cafe Chantant this
week. and although the four singers of
last week are being held over the pro-
gram will be entirely new. The quaint
accent and charming manner OF the
Countess Rossi have verified the reports
of her previous successes. With the
| experience of operate work in the
European capitals where the knowl-
| edge of one role is not sufficient, she
has at her command what is probably
| the most extensive repertoire in Vaude-
vile. For the coming week she mas
promised a number of novelties, in
| cluding several arias from the operas
in which she has gained most or her
! success on the continent.
