Los Angeles herald., 1910-12-11

spectacular acts will be the stellar
features on the all new Sullivan d
Considine bill which opens at the Los
Angeles theater with the usual mat
inee tomorrow. Staley and Birbeck,
the musical blacksmiths, with then
wonderful transformation scene, are
perhaps the better known of the two
headline attractions. The scene opens
in a blacksmith shop and Staley and
Birbeck proceed to produce harmony
and music from horseshoes, cartwheels,
ETC., when in a space of not more than
three or four seconds, with the lights
out, the entire scene changes to a mag
nificent ball room with both Of the
instrumentalsts dressed in evening at
tire. After a number of musical selec~
tons the scene as quickly changes
back to the blacksmith shop and buck
skin aprons.
Another musical treat on the new
program is the tabloid operetta, 1.-THE
Butterfly and The Prince" which will
be presented by May Orletta and Fred
w. Taylor with their company of sing
ers This is an elaborate and fanciful
production, plucked bodily from the
Metropolitan opera house and adapted
to the vaudeville stage by the two
principals.
In "The Town Fiddler" Joseph Ket-
ler and Marie Nelson will offer one of
InOSe uudlHl IuIcl NbilCQJ pioJ iSNS
that appeal powerfully to audiences.
Others on the new bill are Scott and
Wilson, acrobatic humorists: John Hig-
gins, champion jumper in an unusual
athletic exhibition and the Hawaiian
tenor and Italian harpist, Prince and

LUNA PARK-Good music will be a
feature of the entertainment at Luna
park, Washington and Main streets,
during the coming week. Director
Niklausse Schilzony has had his Hun
garian band of thirty men in almost
constant rehearsal since coming to Los
Angeles and now that the fatigue of
the long transcontnental journey is
leaving the players and the dust of
the desert is getting out of their in
struments they are producing some
brilliant melody.
Since opera has been so popular here
during the past month Director Schil-
zony's programs will include excerpts
from the master works Of the Italian
and French composers whose melodies
were heard at the Auditorium during
the engagement of the Bevani opera
company. The beautiful dance music
which was heard by many for the first
time during the engagement of Paw
Iowa and Mordkin at the Auditorium
also will come in for treatment, while
the popularites-from "Grizzly Bear
to "Turkey Trot"-will not be forgot
ten.
An extensive new run of motion pic
lures will be seen at the two daily
performances in Luna theater. MISS
Emma Newkirk Will repeat her diving
performances. Several of her dives,
including the Australian "honey pot,
and the "double back jack-knife," have
been pronounced superior to anytime
of the sort ever seen in local waters.
Work on the new Luna amusement en-
terprises is progressing at rapid rate
and the twelve other attractions OF the
great park are in full working Order
