RURAL COMEDY SCORES
HIT At Los ANGELES
Fishers Combine Sense and Non
sense with EnIivening Effect
in MeIodiouS Skit

A bill OF vaudeville of average worth
is the offering of Manager Bovyer of
the Los Angeles theater this week. No
particular feature distinguishes it,
although it is enjoyable taken as
whole.
Mr.. and Mrs. Perkins Fisher in
rural oddity, a mixture of sense and
nonsense, with q dash of old-time
music to make it appeal, is one of the
most enjoyable acts of the bill. The
act consists mostly of the Ezra Ken
dali brand of comedy in the form or
questions and answers.
Josephine Saxton and her Dixie Kids
make a big hit with the audience at
the finale of the act. What Miss
Saxton lacks in vocal powers her negro
assistants make up in native ability
as mimics and singers. Muriel Rim
gold of ebony hue and undersize is a
real comedienne. She received the
largest share of applause yesterday.
The Wheelers. comedians and Jug
glers. please immensely. The auto en-
trance and exit is the best of the
whole turn. The feminine half of the
act is comely and clever, a rather
unusual combination for jugglers' as
sistants.
Mabel Valenteene Moore, a miniature
female Sandow, has developed herself
gree of perfection. Unfortunately, her
tricks are not thrilling, although her
muscles are interesting.
Helen Stuart, dressed In an out
lahdish costume, sings ditties without
rhyme or reason, and springs jokes
new and old, and thereby makes
sure bid for applause.
]. Francis O'Reilly, the missionary
of mirth, has some old and some new

How would you, madam, like to be
as shapely as Miss Annette Keller
mann, the star of the week at the
How would you enjoy having Miss
Kellermann tell you how she did it
how she transformed herself from a
weak, limping and sickly child into the
wonderfully lovely and physically per-
feet young woman of today?
Well, Miss Kellermann is going to
do this-to tell all the secret of her
transformation. She will do so at the
Orpheum on Tuesday morning next at
IL o'clock and-here Is the happy
part-she will do it free!
Think of going to the Orpheum for
nothing, and hearing Annette Keller
mann expound her secrets of physical
pulchrltude!
OF course, this is all barred to the
men. They can't get in; big Tom
Baker will see to that on the front
door. But any woman, big or little,
fat or slim, may do SO, after 1890
o'clock, when the doors open, till the
house is filed So 1t will be advisable
to be early, and to hustle into line
for seat.
Once in--supposing that you are
fortunate enough to be woman and
to get in-you will be handed a card
Whereon you may write your questions,
If you have any to ask. These cards
will be collected and Miss I<ellermann
will reply to all queries possible. Be-
sides this, she will have given gen.
eral lecture-and she is an adept at
talking in public-and this alone will
be worth while, especially as 1t is all
free. No coupons. no medicine SHOW
and no remedies to advocate or SELL
merely a chance for Los Angeles Wo-
men to learn how to be handsomer
than they are now.
Isn't Miss Kellermann the good lit
tie lady, though?
Seats for the performance of Miss
Henrietta Crosman, in her sparkling
comedy, Anti -Matrimony," will be
placed on SAFE dJ LILO A1cloOll OpOAd
house tomorrow morning, and that
this magnificent attraction will re-
ceive it's full quota of patronage is
already assured by the rush of mail
orders that have been received daily
since the announcement of Miss Cros-
mans coming was first made.
The Pacific. coast has rarely been
visited by a star of Miss Crosman's
brilliancy, surrounded by as capable
a company as will be seen here.
"Anti- -Matrimony" is the quintes-
sence of refinement in the field of
laughter-making, and Percy Mackaye's
master-hand has never nodded so we'll
as in the various situations and
climaxes which make the present
comedy one of the funniest ever seen.
Her simplest gown flirts with a
hundred dollar note" is remark
made of Laura Murdock, the chief
character in "The Easiest Way" in
