PLAYS AND PLAYERS
Theater goers during the past week
enjoyed a rare treat in the presentment
of Mark Twain's dramatized story,
Pudd'nhead Wilson. Much of the sterl
ing merit of the production was due to
the masterly manner in which it was ex
ploited by Mr. Frank Mayo's excellent
company of players. The splendid work
of Mr. Mayo, whom the public have for
c quarter of a century associated with
the rugged character of Davy Crockett,
■was a surprise to those theater-going
people who had lost sight of the fact
that Mr. Mayo is an actor of the old
school In all thai this implies. In other
words he is no one-part. mant,el-pleee
actor, but a player who has mastered
the art of mimicry in the days when
acting was a fine ml. The vaudeville
attractions at the Orpheum during the
week were above the standard. The Bur
bank w as dark during the week, but will
open again tonight with a line bill.

It would seem as indicated by our
plage costumes, that in the matter of
fashions we are not very far away from
the styles affected by our grandmoth
ers In their early days. There is the
extremely wide skirt. Ihe puffed sleeve,
the round bodice and the long shoulder
effect, together with many more of the
vagaries which Dame Fashion has been
pleased to foist upon her votaries from
time to time. Mayhap our women may
yet S ee fit to adorn themselves with the
voluminous hoop, the dainty umiersleevo
und fichu, and tne mbnstrUos chignon of
our aforementioned grandmothers, and
■promenade around in low necked mus
lin frocks. Of course the time is not yet
"mais avec ur» pen de soiu. on arrive a'
tout.'' As has been ably demonstrated,
there is nothing new under the sun. so
we may safely count on a return In some
form or other of the costumes of earlier
days. That we are not so very far
away from the costumes in vogue In IS:W
was demonstrated by tbe ladles of the
Pudd'nhcad AVilson company, who ap
peared in froi ks of that period, most ex
actly copied in every detail. They did
not 'strike the audience as being so very
odd or old-fashioned as they would
have done several seasons ago. In fact,
many w ere heard to admire them quite
enthusiastically, and more than ona
handsome woman gave it as her opin
ion that In some ways our grandmothers
knew a thing or two. Nearly everyone
Will admit that our same grandmothers
married young, and for the most part far
more happily than the women of the
nineteenth century. It is also a well
known fact that nu-n admire simplicity,
or what to their befogged intellects pass
es for Btrnlplclty. May not then the
riaintv oob-wehby muslins of our grand
mothers have caused a declaration from
many a love lorn swain, especially With
the additional attraction of a pair of
snowy shoulders just peeping through
that same muslin, or a pair of dimpled
arms brought to notice by a flowing
Sleeve. IT one bad any doubts on this
subject he might have set tliem forever
at rest by taking a look at Miss Frances
Orahame. who so ably supported Frank
Mayo, in company with Miss LucilleLa
verne and Miss Eleanor Moretti. Miss
Orahame. in her simple frock of the
Style of sixty years ago, presented a
picture of artless innocence and sweet,
womanly simplicity that must have sent
a thrill through many a bachelor s heart
in that large audience. Perhaps it was
the frocks you say. Ah! Well, perhaps.
The frocks helped most certainly tn
round out an attractive appearance.

America's foremost dramatic artist,
Richard Mansfield, accompanied by that
superb coterie of artists, the New York
Garrlck theater company, w ill appear
at tbe Los Angeles theater the last half
of Ihe week, appearing in three different
plays, and at four performances. Mr.
Mansfield is now making a final tour of
the Pacific coast, as the plans he has
mapped out Tor Ihe future call lor a
series of heavy Shakespearean prodUC- '■
thins —plays so cumbersome and expen
sive th«t a profitable coast tour would
be impossible. So this is probably the
last opportunity I>os Angeles theater
goers will have of seeing the greatest
actor we have to-day. if not the great
est actor in the English-speaking world.
Mr. Mansfield will present Ileau Brum
mell Thursday evening and at the Sat
urday matinee; A Parisian Romance
Friday evening, ami Prince Karl Satur
day evening. Mr. Mansfield has been
seen in this city in a variety of roles,
each of which in his hands was por
trayed as well as any living actor could
do. He overdoes nothing, but imper
sonates bis role with that exactness of
detail, that power of conception and
minuteness of execution that stamps a
finished actor. Nothing which can add
to the vividness or realism of his work
■Is overlofced. A gesture, a trivial
movement, a glance of tho, eye—each is
turned to the best advant igc. His his
trionic ability, is by no matins narrowed
down to any special line of work. \\ bile
some of his admirers may think he Is
better in some one character than an
other, there is no question but that he
is a distinct success in everything.
Tbe company which supports Mr.
Mansfield during this engagement is
known a-s the New York Garriok theater
stock company. It Is the organization
which the actor had engaged for his pro
jected long stay at his own Metropolitan
playhouse, He waa_to have opened at
the Gairiek early in the autumn and
produced in rapid succession a number
of new plays, but his serious and pro
longed illness compelled him to abandon
all these plans. When he recovered
Mr. Mansfield had time to get ready but
one new piece. The Story of Rodion
the Student, and found himself with a
big and expensive stock company on
his hands. He decided to make anoth
er tour of tbe country and take the com
pany with him. It is the largest nnd
most expensive theatrical organization
of skilled players ever seen here in
the support of miv star. It contains
four people who have been at one time
stars, and several who have been feat
ured support of other stars. In the
company are such well-known artists
as Miss Beatrice Cameron. Miss Jennie

Eleandr Carey. Miss Cora Lamlson,

The appearance of the Hopkins
Trans-Oceanic Star specialty company
at the Orpheum is a notable event in
ROBERT FULGORA AT THE ORPHEUM
theatrical circles. This company car
ries a carload of special scenery, which
is something unusual with vaudeville
companies. It includes in its list of
specialty artists four of the highest sal
aried European variety stars and
eighteen of the greatest of American
specialty people. A feature of the show
is the German midgets—the Rossow
brothers, Karl and Franz—who. though
IS and 20 years of age. weigh but 21 and
30 pounds each. They were trained to
box by Jim Corbett and to wrestle by
Muldoon, The quaint mannerisms of
these tiny people are Indescribable.
They are German to the finger-tips, and
especially Karl, the younger, who ac
companies his conversation with irre
slstable gestures, which iv him are so
truly funny. They speak very little
Knglish: the older, in fact, neither un
derstands nor speaks a word of our lan
guage. Karl, however, can make him
self understood, and his intelligent lit
tle face as be talks is one moment a
mass of frowns and the next puckered
Into as many wrinkles. Among other
features are the Evan?, Edward and
Josie. who do a notably clever act
which opens with their assumption of
a rural boy and girl with a trick dog
and a real one, with which they set tbe
house in a roar. Their burlesque wrest
ling bouts are another comic hit. and
their act closes with Mr. Evan's phe
nomenal high ten.u-singing and his im
itation of a celebrated actor. Clayton
ARTHI'R E. MOULT ON at the Bcrbank
I and Jenkins create a deal of fun ln
' their original and exceedingly amusing
j act entitled The Darktown Circus. In
1 which they are aided by Jasper, their
] Andalusian Bteed. Their act is diversi
fied by eccentric gymnastic business,
I comical circus travesty and a sharp
; shunting burlesque. Apollo, who \vill
; appear, is the champion of the bound-
I ing wire, and the aerial feature of Hop
i Kins' Trans-Oceanics, gives a dashing
and skillful performance on the slack
wire, and Ills form and grace make good
tbe claim to the professional title given
; him. He plOUrrettes and turns somer
i sauits on a thread In mid-air with unri
! vailed skill, Port) and Francis are
I credited with doing the best operatic
, sketch In the vaudeville business. Their
(lever repartees, -Miss Francis' grn
j tesque steps and her artistic and grace*
ful skirt dancing. Mr. Ford's witty top
ical song, 1 Wonder What Next They
Will Do. and the change to a regular
operatic sketch with a strong finale, are
all very clever. Tom Mack has a line
voice and ranks as one of the most clev
er of negro minstrels. Sharp and Piatt
style themselves "manufacturers of
musical comedy." and are said to do
one oflhe best grotesque musical acta
on the vaudeville Btage. The Namando
brolhei s are famed as I lie originators
of the most surprising illusions evei in
troduced to tbe public. Their mysteri
ous dog Jessie is both grotesque and
mysterious. Horace Benner, the fa
mous Knglish barytone, will appear in
his great descriptive and illustrated

songs, of the latter feature he being the
originator. .
A star feature is the appearance of
Robert Fulgora, who. besides being the
manager of the company, Is one of the
most noted performers in the country.
He is recognized as the world's greatest
transflgurator artist. His impersona
tion of noted historical characters is
set off by special scenery illustrating
many incidents In the lives of the per
sons impersonated.
It will be a ten-act show, and beyond
question the strongest one ever pre
sented ln the Orpheum
All the people on the Fiesta week
bill will close to-night to make room for
the Trans-Oceanic, but will all appear
at the matinee this afternoon.

Nlobe. which the New York Sun char
acterized as a delightful, Interesting
and amusing play, causing tears of
sympathy and hearty laughter, will be
presented at the Burbank theater dur
ing the coming week, beginning this
evening. It has had a most successful
eastern and European run and is now
being presented at the Strand theater
in London. Tonight, however, will wit
ness the initial production of this ster
ling comedy In California. The plot is
a modernized version of the story of
Pygmalion and Galatea. An antique
remale statue of great value and won
drous beauty, rescued from Grecian
ruins, is brought to New York and for
safety placed in the home of a wealthy
citizen of Gotham. By means of nn
electric current, which accidentally
reaches the statue, it becomes imbued
with life. The thoughts and knowledge
of the antique lady are of tbe period at
which she was entombed.about2ooo years
B. C. This of course furnishes the ve
hicle for any number of comical situa
tions. Then the wife of the worthy
owner of the statue is of course at a loss
to account for the presence in her house
of an unknown female, and makes
things decidedly interesting for her hus
band.
The Davis & Moulton Musical Comedy
company, which Manager Cooper at a
great expense succeeded tn bringing
here for a limited summer season, is
probably the best comedy organization
ever seen on the coast. Every member
of the organization has been a star and
at the head of his own company. No
one manager could possibly get together
such an aggregation during tbe regular
eastern season. The dainty singing
comedienne. Miss Myra Davis, and Mr.
Arthur K. Moultpn, the gifted character
comedian, head the list. Miss Davis is
quite a local favorite, having been here
as leading lady in Captain Heme and
other standeard dramas. Mr. Motllton
is also well known in Los Angeles, hav
ing supported Mr. Charles Heed ln The
City Directory and Mr. Frank Daniels
in his several productions. Other mem
bers nf the company are Miss Rose Stu
art, Miss Kate Dallas. Miss Helen Har
rington, Miss Fanny Yantis. Mr. Lester
Lonergan, Mr. Henry Stockbridge. Mr.
Charles Glbneyand Mr. William Sellery.
In the hands of such artists Niobe is
sure to be an artistic and financial suc
cess.
It is the desire of Manager Dowling
that the members of his company be
! come personally acquainted with the
j patrons of the Hut-bank, and to that end
| a number of receptions have been ar- |
j ranged. Every Saturday afternoon af- !
' ter the matinee the ladies of the com
| pany will receive visitors on the stage
•of the Burbank from 4:30 to H;3O. La
j dies and children are especially invited
| to attend the receptions.

THE MUSICAL COLUMN
A fit of Fiesta reaction was evident by
the comparatively slim audience that en
joyed the glees and' melodies of the nchu
hert Male quartet of Chicago at the Simp
son tabernacle last Tuesday evening-
Happily there will be another opportunity
of hearing this famous quurlet. ior a sec
ond concert has been arranged to take
place at the tabernacle on Tuesday even
ing next. The Schuborts did not attempt
anything very elaborate and all their en
cores—they were numerous—were devoted
to humorous effects. They nlng music of
a distinctly popular character, nnd their
vok'es blend most melodiously, ltemark
ablc accuracy of key wae noticeable in
their numbers without accompaniment,
and when the dulcet toneß of the harp as
sisted them the effect was still more de
lightful. It was. however, too hazardous
lo attempt a "behind-the-scenes" effect at
such a distance as separates the vestry
and the platform, the consequence being a
most distressing divergence of key.
ln Miss Frances M Hughes the Schu
bcrls h&yve a harp soloist of very uncom
mon merit. She is a thorough mistress of
her instrument and plays charmingly.
The Schuberts will also give a concert at
the slate normal school on Monday after
noon, and will be heard during the evening
service at the Simpson tabernacle tomor
row.

There can apparently he no doiiht of the
success of Sousa's new opera. El Capltan.
New York has endored the verdict of Bos
ton, and De Wolf Hopper has nn opera
which will ln all probability last him until
we sec him in it out on the coast once more.
The music throughout is declared to be
tuneful, and as was only to he expected
some stirring march numhers are very
prominent features. Hopper as the re
doubtable Capitan is said to be more than
ever inimitably funny In his various droll
predicaments. The critic of the New York
Times has this to say of Sousa's music in
El Capltan:
"It is perfectly simple in form and
rhythm, but it is full of tunefulness, vim
and sparkle. Of course, the most tolling
numbers arc in march style, and some of
them take rank with the best work of tho
"march king." as he is sometimes called.
The entrance air of Don Mcdigna. the con
clusion of the opening chorus, the soldier's
"setting tip" song in act 2. and. above all.
the finale of the some act. arc specimens
of Sousa's happiest invention. There are
other very pretty numbers In a different
Style for the tenor and soprano. On the
whole, it must he said that Sotisa has writ
ten a blight and melodious score."

Paderewski before sailing from New York
did a most graceful act. which will be uni
versally appreciated, in sending to Will
iam Bteinway JIO.UOO for the purpose of pro
viding prizes for composers of American
birth, without distinction as to age or relig
ion. Tho amount will enable the trustees
to provide three prizes for ten years, one of
$500 for the best orchsetral work in sym
phonic form, one of $300 for the best com
position for solo instrument with orchestra
and one. of }200 for the best chamber music.
The artist wrote: "I take no pride in
making this endowment. Th© amount is
a modest one. and my personality, in spite
of all the success, is of little importance, I
only hope that it will prove to be useful
and that your younger composers will not
consider it as a gift, but ns a debt, and a
little encouragement comingfrom one who
found in their land all the happiness to
which an artist can aspire."

Sir Arthur Sullivan has just confessed
that he does not always work with the
rapidity ascribed to him. "When the fever

a single song, setting it over and over again,
until I felt the melody interpreted the story
of the words. 1 have thrown in the lire

To women it will be the most Important
event of the two years, representing, as
it does the interests and activities ol
Home 100,000 women. All over the coun
try clubs and club women are looking
forward to it. A large attendance is
expected and many distinguished vis
itors have signified their Intention of
being present. Among the speakers
will be Mrs. Helen Campbell of Chica
go, Miss Agnes Reppller of Philadel
phia. Miss Amelia Hofer president of
the international kindergarten associa
tion; Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper of San Fran

and many others of equal note and abil

p.nd will be held in all the halls and as
sembly rooms of which Louisville may
boast and the lecture romms of several
prominent churches.
The scheme provides for some sort of
entertainment at some hall going on all
the time, and does away with the crush

previous biennials, where there was but
one meeting at a time. At Louisville
"you pays your money and you takes

wild Financial ideas
The Dallas (Texas) News says plain
ly: "If the party is to embrace as its
national faith the wild financial ideas
now so prevalent ln Democratic circles
in the south and west, it should be ut
terly crushed beyond resurrection.There
in no legitimate mission in this country
for the Democracy of the Morgans.
Tillmans. Baileys. Stones. Vests, Black
burns, et al., and if the machinery of
the party is to be surrendered into their
ha. ds a crushing defeat will not only
be invited, but will be richly deserved,
and it will come in no unceitain man
ner."
For Footloose Delegates
The great South. California hnodo is
enthusiastically and frantically howl
ing for an Instructed delegation to St.
Louis. Inasmuch as it is the hoodo that
asks for such an eminently fool proposi
tion, it is a safe bet that the will of the
people will be respected and an unln
structed delegation pledged only to the
free coinage of American silver, protec
tion of American industries and restric
tion of foreign immigration, will be
sent. The name of the gentleman is of
I slight consequence when he stands on
that platform.—Redlands Citrograph.
A strme Mlnd-d Sq'iaw
The Oklahoma courts have seen the novel
sight of an Indian woman suing for divorce.
Slie claims that her husband does not sup
port the family, and. in short, that he Is
an altogether unworthy husband. Civiliza
tion has taught the fisages that if a man
is "shiftless, idle, profligate, dissipated and
adulterous" there is redress, and that 't
woman is not hound to support such a man
j in such practices.
