one of the best parts in which this
comedian has ever. appeared.
1.-THE Cay Lord Quex," scheduled for
production at the Belasco next week,
If 1.-THE Blue Mouse does not continue
a third week, will introduce John J.
Kennedy, a new member of the Be
lasco-B lackwood forces. Rehearsals
of 1.-The Gay Lord Quex," which were
called off last Wednesday on account
of the postponement for week of the
coming performance, will be resumed
this morning.
Two thousand dollars worth of new
scenery will be installed on the stage
of the Los Angeles theater this week.
These new stage settings consist or
several complete interior stage set
tings, many picturesque outdoor sets
and four attractive drops" Improve
ments are also going on in the audi
forum, the back of the theater being
now entirely enclosed with heavy
green velvet curtains, which, with the
double doors, serve materially in shut
ting out noise from the street.
Grand opera at popular prices will
be offered at the Auditorium tonight
1t is not often that six stars open on
the same evening, even in the well
known Donizetti masterpiece Lucia. "
Vicarino, the silver tongued soprano,
and Battain, the lyric tenor, are both
far superior to the average grand OPP
era singer coming this way, and the
cast supporting them is of suthclent
l'strength to give the utmost satisfac-
ton. New sceIsery, new costumes and
properties will add to the effect
With William Rock and Maude Full
ton, about the cleverest dancing team
in vaudeville, leading it's bill opening
this afternoon, the Orpheum will be put
in the position of offering one of the
strongest bills in it's recent history.
And with Maurice Freeman and his
company in "Tony and the Stork' as
the dramatic offering it will proffer a
play fit to rank with anything on the
legitimate boards. The NeapOlitans,
opponents of grand opera in popular
classics, and Work and over, former
ly of the Road show for three years,
German acrobats; Howard and How
his peaches ana Fred Singer complete
the bill. 1lI Ia
The Orpheum beginning today will
make the first showing in Los An
geles of the moving pictures of the re-
cent games between the Cubs and the
Athletics, which resulted in slow old
4
championship. The pictures arrive here
by express this morning.
All the associated theaters begin to-
| day the sale of tickets for the joint
beneht of the managers and mechan-
ics' associations, to be held in the Au-
ditorium December 8. The benefit will
be the biggest ever and the tickets the
| lowest, being placed at only so cents.
Each box office will sell them.
The bill which opens this afternoon
at Pantages theater is chiefly notable
for it's variety, as acts ranging from
tabloid wild west show to skilled
| European acrobats are among the fea-
lures The big event of the program
! is to be the Arizona Joe company in
"a Glimpse of Prairie Life" This is
the kind of act one usually sees under
canvas, for it resembles a Buffalo Bill
performance in miniature.
Abrams and Johns come in when
| Hubby Realizes" humorous skit
| founded on marital troubles.
The Tom Fletcher duo come with a
high class darby act, which has the
reputation of getting the laughs, while
| De Faye and Moore will appear in a
musical and comedy offering. The Gar
cinetti troupe have an up to date ac-
robatic turn.
Commencing tonight and for the bal
ance of the week, with matinees on
Wednesday and Saturday Henry Mil
Ter will present at the Mason opera
house his latest success, "Her Hus-
bands Wife" described as a farcical
comedy in high comedy settings The
three acts are laid in Saratoga during
the summer season and Mr.. Miller as
sumes the role OF a wealthy Califor-
MAN whose keen sense of humor brings
about and also untangles much Of the
marital complexities of the plot.
Preceding each performance of "Her
Husbands Wife," Miller will offer his
famous one-act play, "Frederic LeMai-
tre," which he revived last week in
San Francisco and which furnishes
him one of his most famous roles. In
order to present the little classic in
addition to "Her Husbands Wife" il
is necessary to ring up the curtain al
isis instead of $3.50, as was the custom
during the New York and Chicago
runs Of Miller's new comedy.
