The Spider and the Fly Burlesque
Spectacle This Week.

Another doll dramatic week has
passed and now theater-goers can look
forward to a season of leg drama and
dialect comedy; the Spider and Fly and
Ola Oleson being booked for this week
at the Los Angeles theater.
There has been some objection made
to tho posters displayed by the Spider
and Fly company, on the ground that
they pictured too freely women's forms,
untrammeled by drapery. It has even
been suggested that the city council
follow the example of San Diego's alder
men, and prohibit such bills.
Such silly propositions are hardly
worth taking seriously; if the bills
•hould be prohibited so should the per
formance. It it is injurious to peo
ple of high morality to look at a picture
of a woman clad in little else than
tights, it must be decidedly worse to al
low a living, capering, tight-clad female
to posture on a stage. Laws and ordi
nances have little or nothing to do with
■a people's moral point of view, and the
average ordinance making councilman
■knows aa much about the laws govern
ing advancement or retrogression in
morals as he does about municipal gov
ernment in Persepoliß. Laws will not
make a people any better than they
want to be.
The dancing girl started her undulat
ing career when the first grape vine waa
planted, and daring all the ages Bines,
the denouncements by clergy, the pro
hibitions of puritans and the penalties
of Maine laws have had little or no de-
torrent effect pn either.
Both are large subjects; the dancing
girl the largest of the two. As the
problems connected with them have not
been solved by all the thinkers and re
formers in the history of time, it is quite
likely that the city council can paBS an
ordinance that will at least settle the
late of round-limbed, gauzily clad
Terpsichore. Her ancestor did some
high kicking before David, and her des
cendants will whirl their shapely legs as
long as this old world revolves in space
—unless of conrse the council should
pass an ordinance forbidding her appear
ance 1 not only on the bill boards but on
the atage boards. Tbat would end her
xareer.
The tableaux in the National Pageant
held the latter part of tbe week at the
Los Angeles, illustrated charmingly the
pleasant fact that the city can furnish
aay number of beautiful young girls,
whb, besides their personal attractions,
are eminently graceful, and possessed of
more or less dramatic ability.
Miss Padgham's singing was most en
joyable. 8h has, thanks to Mr. Wood,
her teacher, a most cultivated voice, en
tirely uninjured by its course of devel
opment. She also is possessed of a self
possession and presence which indicates
that she would do well to enter some
comic opera company if she wishes to
become a professional.

Without a question, Ole Olson, the
Swedish dialect play which will be at
tne Loa Angeles theater this week, has
been one of tbe greatest successes the
American stage nee ever known. It
tomes here soon with a powerful, strong
oast and trill undoubtedly prove one of
LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 12, 1893.
the strongest attractions of the season.
Inasmuch as the dialect of the stolid,im
perturbable Swede is both novel aud
funny,and aa tbe incidents of the play are
both hilarious and exciting, and as the
piece is presented by the best farce com
pany now traveling, there is little doubt
but what our play-goers will watch for
the date of the performance.
The new Park theater, formerly
Hazard's pavilion, will present a strong
attraction thia week in the Two Or
phans, which will be given on Monday
night and continued every evening
during the week, with a matinee on
Saturday afternoon. Few plays have
attained the popularity ol the Two
Orphans, and jußtly so, ior it would be
a hard heart indeed that is not touched
by the trials and sorrows of Louise, tbe
blind girl, and her loßter sister, Henri
ette, who are so cruelly separated in the
streets of Paris. The'story ie of absorb
ing interest, and, being well known,
needs no repetition here. New scenery
' has been painted, and the play will be
placed upon the stage in a manner
never beiore witnessed in this city. Tbe
cast is a very strong one, embracing
Miss Georgie Woodthorpe in the dual
role oi Louise the blind girl and Sister
Genevieve, Anita Fallon as Henriette,
Millie Freeman bb Marianne, Alma
Hhyrma as the Countess de Linieree.
Fred Cooper, tbe genial manager, will
make his first appearance as Pierre, the
cripple; Frank C. Thompson will be
the Chevalier de Beaudry, Arthur
Sutherland the Count de Linieres, and
J. K. Koberts the Jacques Frochard;
the other characters by the company.

SOCIETY.
The bonnet social given by the Beth
esda Sabbath school in the church, cor
ner East Ninth street and Central ave
nue, last Friday night, waa quite as suc
cessful financially as it was enjoyable
otherwise. Notwithstanding the mud
and tbe threatening aspect of the
weather, tbe attendance was large, tbe
announcement tbat a large and varied
assortment of choice (?) millinery
would be placed on exhibition during
the evening bringing the ladies out in
full force.
The opening number on the pro
gramme was a song and chorus, Tele
phone in de Air. Then Helen I'arker, a
sweet little tot of five years, told all
about How to Make the Shoe in a song,
which she rendered very nicely. The
closing number was the Sunflower
chorus, which was encored. Then a
rush waß made for the millinery depart
ment, where the stock was being sold
for cash. Ten cents was eufficient to
furnish each gentleman with a bonnet
and the necessary trimming.
Then, while they were laboriously en
gaged in trying to evolve from the mass
of ribbons, flowera, feathers, etc., femi
nine headgear aa dainty and beautiful
as is often displayed in the' windows of
our millinery stores, the ladies stood
complacently by and enjoyed tbe fun.
When the work was completed the re
sult in many cases, to say the least, waa
startling, for some ol the bonnets were
fearfully and wonderfully made. The
ladiea, of course, wore these dainty (?)
productions of masculine taste and skill
to supper, which added to the iun, and
was the cause of much good natared
chaffing. The first pnza for the best
trimmed bnnnet was awarded to Mr.
Harry McStay, while Mr. Owen Case
carried himself with becoming modesty
when he waa awarded the booby prize.
A good old-fashioned supper waa then
s«tved, after which all went homo well
pleased with the evening's fun.
The reception tendered the students
of Woodbury's BusineßS college by Prof,
and Urn. Hough at their residence, 1131
Hill street, Wednesday evening, tbe Bth
inst., waß a very enjoyable and enter
taining affair. Despite the damp
weather'and bad roada, the etudentß
were all present early and by 8 o'clock
the beautiful parlors were full to over
flowing with a gathering of young ladies
aud gentlemen, which for intelligance
and refinement would grace any assem
bly. The opening number of a short
and very pleasing programme was in
troduced by Prof. E. C. Wilson on the
violin, accompanied by Mr. Stevenson
on the piano, and elicited tbe applause
which these gentlemen never fail to ex
cite. A pleasing selection on the piano
by Miss Lawrence -shows this young
lady to bo possessed of great talent.
Next followed recitations by Mi6B Pearly
GleaßOn and Prof. Hough, which were
encored and gave much enjoyment.
A novel feature of the evening was the
distribution of numbered cards to the
Indies and gentlemen, each to find his
partner for refreshments by the number
corresponding to his own, and the so
ciable stampede for partners which fol
lowed was very amusing. After ice cream
and cake refreshments and just before
dispersing, the rooma were darkened
and a ilash-light photograph of all pres
ent was taken.
Miss Mary Rohr gave a delightful
party Tuesday night to a number of her
friends at her home on Estrella avenue.
The evening was pleasantly passed,
playing various progressive games of
cards. Handsome prizes were presented
to the fortunate players. Those who
attended were: Misseß L. Maulhardt, T.
Ganahl, M. Engelbracht, A.Forthmann,
A. Engelbracht. J. Keardon, E. Coates,
D. Hovel, A. White, F. King. M. Rohr;

The Welsh residents of Los Angeles
will give a concert in Y. M. C. A. hall
Wednesday evening, March lßt, in honor
of St. David, their patron saint. The
programme will consist of instrumental
mUßic and vocal selections in Welch and
English. Mre. L. J. Llewellyn, con
tralto, and Mrs. M. E. Aver, soprano,
will be the soloist? of the evening. This
fact of itself Bhould serve to fill the
auditorium with an appreciative au
dience. It is hoped there will be a good
attendance.
The executive committee of Company
A, Seventh infantry N. G. C, com-,
manded by Lieutenant Steere, have
their plans all well in hand and antici
pate the largest and most brilliant party
yet given by the guardsmen at their
midwinter ball, which occurs on Friday
evening next, the 17th instant. Prof.
H. J. Kramer has joined the committee
in its hard work and will personally di
rect the dancing novelties as well as
lead tho grand march. Mr. W. H. Wil
son will manage calcium lights and me
chanical effects.
The assembly will be sounded by the
buglers at 8:30 sharp, when the grand
march will begin, headed by the military
in all the glory of their blue and gold,
for they will be in extreme full dress.
The march will be executed under the
bright and changing colore of the cal
cium.
The other novelties that will be given
are a Moonlight waltz, a Sunlight waltz
and a Starlightschottiache. A Shadows
quadrille, under the clear, whita light of
a powerful calcium. The Tempest gal
op will doubtless be the most novel of
all. It carries out the idea of a passing
thunder storm, tbe lights fading as the
rolling thunder comes nearer and nearer;
with a crash gaslight diaappeara and a
semi-darkness of electric blue settles
down; tbe music strikes up and the
dancers whirl along to the accompani
ment of the lightning flash,rolling thun
der, driving rain and rising gale. So
much interest has been manifested, and
so many inquiries for adraiSßion cards
made, that the invitation committee
have concluded to receive at the armory
applications for tickets up to next
Wednesday.

The event of the past week in the
shape of receptions was that of the
Ladies' Aid society of Itnmanuel church,
on tbe jubilant occasion of having re
deemed the pledga they made three
years ago when it wae first proposed to
purchase a lot and erect a new church
edifice. The society on that occasion
pledged itself to raise $500\) to pay for
the pews and all the interior furnishings
of tbe church. Mra. J. J. Ayers, the
president of tho society, aud Mrs. Dr.
Saliebury, the former president, re
counted, in well-written papers, the his
tory of the great and successful struggle
to raise the formidable sum, and Mre.
Mathuas, the treasurer, read her report,
showing where the money came from.
After a succession of short and mirth
provoking speeches by several gentle
men, including Dr. W. J. Chichester,
the pastor, tho whole assemblage was
invited into the dining room where a
great abundance and variety of tooth
some refreshments were served to the
guoßts of the society, and a most happy
time was spent for several hours. No
notice of this reception would be com
plete without alluding to the beautiful
and artistic manner in which the par
lora were decorated. The whole length
of the wall behind the stand of the offi
cers was decorated with an appropriate
text from the Bible, the letters all
worked out with ami lax in a most clever
manner. This striking and beautiful
decoration was executed by Mrs. Hart
well. The other docorations were elab
orate and in moat exquisite taste. Tbe
ladies were complimented on all hands
for tbe great financial success they had
achieved and the very handsome man
ner in which they celebrated its accom
plishment.

The reception tendered last evening
in the high school building by the
alumni to the winter graduating class of
'93 was a complete success. The dec
orations were simple, and consisted of
cardinal bunting, tbe graduating class
colors, displayed to advantage about the
corridors and stairwaya.
A literary programme was given in the
assembly room during the early part of
the evening. The programme waa aa
follows:
