14 PLAYS AND PLAYERS Vaudeville at the Orpheum will be about the only thing running in any of the theaters this week, and lt is fortu nate for theater goers that this house has an exceptionally fine bill to offer. There have been stronger single features here, but never was there a better all around show, with more high grade ar tists in it than the present one. The leading star will be Virginia Aragon, of course. She is the prime attraction wherever she appears. Senorita Aragon Is the queen of the lofty wire. That is her one specialty, and she leads the world at it. The New York Dramatic Mirror says of her: "Of all the performers who have been Imported from Europe during the past season, Virginia Aragon is without doubt the cleverest and most interesting. She Is a flue type of Spanish beauty, Willi her pretty face, great lustrous brown eyes shaded by long black lashes, olive complexion and tine figure. She is known as the queen of the lofty wire and she has earned her title by her work, which is little short of marvelous. On a slender wire stretched high above the heads of the audience, she performs with as much ease and grace as if she were standing on the solid stage. Dur ing part of her performance she uses a small Japanese parasol as a balance, but her most difficult feats are accom plished with nothing but her two pretty arms to help her maintain her equilib rium. A mere description of her per formance would give only an idea of its effect. She waltzes, jumps, stands on one foot, does some startling tricks with a hoop, and executes the "split" in a manner that would excite the envy of the most accomplished French quad rille dancer. Senorita Aragon has been in all the principal cities of Europe, and she has never failed to create a sensation wher ever she has appeared. She has many souvenirs of her triumphs—not simply for her clever and daring feats, but ot her conquests of those who were dazzled with her beauty. In the matter of amusement, the Or pheum had everything its own waydur Ing ing the past week, the Burbank and Los Angeles theaters still being closed. The White Mahatmas did a good busi ness at the latter house on Sunday night. They announced that their performance would be for one night only, which was a wise provision of a thoughtful advance agent, as a very little of such "occult ism" goes very far with a long Buffering public. It is safe to say, however, that those who were victimized by the per formance felt themselves in a measure repaid for the loss of the simoleons by the spirit of fun the performance evok ed among the audience. It was a good natured audience, inclined to enjoy Its own witty, albeit highly personal.'sal lies, the gallery being especially liberal with contributions of this kind, remind ing one somewhat of a Chicago audi. n. ■■• on a James Owen O'Connor night it was a happy thing for the Mahatmas that such a state of things existed, else all their so-called "occultism" would scarcely have served to defend them from personal violence at the hands of their befooled auditors, whose feelings could be no better expressed than in tlie words of the parodist: Of all hard things to bear and grin, Ihe saddest Isknowln' you've been taken in The passing of Frank Mayo during the week caused a keen pan;r in the hearts of many theatergoers here iv I.os An geles, who hut recently had the pleas ure of enjoying his striking and master ly presentment of Pedd'nhead Wilson. Mr. Mayo belonged to the old school of players, who had mastered the details of the histrionic art by patient and exact ing study. He was one of the best ac tors In certain lines of character on the stage, and his latest creation was a scholarly conception that took rank with Jefferson's Rip Van Winkle. There is one artist among the Or pheum forces win, remains always with us and of whom the public never tires and that Is the leader of the orchestra' Dion Romandy. Comedy teams may prove disappointing, one may have seen better dancers in the third row of the ballet, singers may serve but to recall to our minds that plaintive ditty, They May Have Seen Better Days, but everyone will admit when Romandy grasps his fiddle and settles himself down to play that here at least is one person who can never fail to gratify his hearers and soothe them into that Btate of beatitude In which truly beautiful music, beauti fully rendered, places tho human kind. There is a wild plaintive .strain running through Romandy's music, a rippling, pulsing melody, reminding one of the daring, dashing race from which he springs. There is a sadness too charac teristic of most people in whose veins runs tho blood of the Magyars, who have tasted of the wild free life of the step pes. Brave as lions they were, and withal strangely sensitive to the beauty of music and the poetry of motion, as evinced by their beautiful melodies and graceful dancing. In playing his own compositions es pecially one cannot help following the series or pictures which Romandy places before him. There will be perhaps'awild burst of melody suggestive of the sweep of the storm over wild lonely stretches of prairie, then a dreary sadness Ilka unto the soughing of the wind through the tali pines, then a dainty lightness reminding one of tho play of the zephyrs among a garden of roses on a summer day and anon a soft satisfying strain that lighter falls "than night dews on still waters between walls of shadowy granite In a gleaming pass." Music that makes one feel that it is worth while having lived through all tho trials of life in order to have grasped tho few happy moments that come in our way. » » a As the summer days come on apace and tho poor tired historian hies himself away to take his hard earned vacation, criticism becomes dormant for the time being, and the critic reminiscent, having time to think over some of the clever stories he has heard during the season. Here is one told by tho late advance manager of the Warde-James company when that combination was Inexistence Mr. Walter J. Lamb, who is well knowii to most theatrical people: Mr. Lamb was in advance of his com pany in some of iho one-night stands of what is known as tho northern cir cuit. There was a company playing tho town when Mr. Lamb reached there. He went to the principal hotel and desiring to see the manager at once and make a rate for his company, he found that functionary standing by the dining room door, it being supper time, watch ing the aforementioned company eating Hearing somebody approach, he turned around and in a voice suggestive of tho trouble in his heart, said: "My Cod, look at those troopers, only paying f % a day, and eating as much as anybody!" » * • Seeing Ransone at the Orpheum re minds one of his sometime friend and fellow actor, Andy McKay, who is a member of that coterie of theatrical peo ple known as the old timers." McKay and Ransone were at one time members of The Seven Ravens' company. When the company was nearlng Chicago and the funds were very low, it was thought necessary to strengthen it somewhat, so McKay engaged the services of Wain natta, the celebrated wire walker, ut the sum of $75 a week. After the Chicago engagement, which was not a success financially, the company disbanded. There was a good deal of discontent about the paying of back salaries. One of the most obstreperous of the kickers being the wire-walker, who had receiv ed none of his salary. Andy attempted to reason with him, but in vain. "How In heaven's name can I get back to New- York? I haven't a cent to my name?" said the forlorn knight of the wire. It was then that Andy rose to the ac - casion. With is suavest manner and sweetest smile, he took the unhappy one aside, and. pointing up to the telegraph wires, said: "You are a wire-walker aren't you ? Well, there's your road, and when you get to Detroit turn to the left." * * * Hers has been a most romantic career —successful in her chosen line of work and fortunate in her ability to please everyone. Araznn promises to be the greatest attraction the Orpheum has had in a long time. Besides her. however, there are three other few features on the program. Le Clair and Leslie are perhaps the most important of these, though each of the others is extraordinarily good. They are are among the really great comedy HARRY LE CLAlß—Female Impersonator at the Orpheum teams on the vaudeville stage, and the turn which they will present tomorrow night is one of their brightest. Le Clair lias made a mark as a female imperson ator, while Leslie does some very clever work in his imitations of prominent ac tors. Their team work is splendid and is full of the best sort of fun from be ginning to end. They can furnish more amusement in a brief space of time than any other couple on tlie road. Every where they have won the highest praise from both the press and public, and it is safe? to predict them a rousing recep tion here. Not the least enjoyable part of the show will be the musical act given by the charming little bell-ringer, Mile, Carrie. She is a perfect artist and can get more real music out of the sleigh bells than anyone else that ever as sayed tin; trick. Her manner is bright and winning and she makes hosts of friends all around. Collins and Collilie_are two song and dance people, of the refined order. They are called the jolly college songsters. Their act c onsists of a fresh lot of par odies on late songs—a well stored budget of side-splitting jokes and some novel ties in the way of dancing, all of which they give with a sort of merry madness that catches everybody. From among last week's attractions three excellent ones have been retained: Fields and Lewis will appear in a nw comedy sketch made up of rollicking songs and drod funnyisms, which will be given In their most happy manner. Monsieur Ohovriel, the clever manipu lator of the violin, will present a num ber of new tricks fully as astonishing and pleasing to witness as those with which ho delighted everyone during the past week. Watson and Dv Pre have in store a fresh slock of fun from the; Fatherland. It would be impossible to Improve on the new program, and it will doubtless draw crowded houses every night, as iv certainly deserves to. Matinee this nf ternoon and regular performance in the evening. * * * Los Angeles always enjoys comic opera, If it is good. During each sum mer season several professional singers spend their vacation in this c ity. Last year we enjoyed a revival of Pinafore and Ermlnle which were presented in a delightful manner. This year there are many delightful singers summer ing with us, and Mr. Frederick W. Hunt ley, late of the Calhoun Opera company, has arranged a carefully selected com pany to pi . sent at the Los Angeles thea ter a series of operas suitable for the summer weather, nautical operas with a dash of the "briny deep" and the "life on tho rolling waves," etc. Their first effort will be in the presentation of Gil bert and Sullivan's comic opera, The Pirates of Penzance, on next Friday and Saturday evenings, June 19th and 20th. with a Saturday matinee. The character of Frederick the pirate apprentice will be assumed by Mr. Fred W. Huntlev. Miss Bernlce Holmes, a great favorite with the musical public of i.os Angeles, will assume the character of Jtuth, a piratical maid of all work. A new 80 --prano.LUllan Fellows Burdette.wil) sing the role of Mabel, den. Stanley's young est daughter, and if what we hear ia true she will present s charming charac ter, as she has a splendid soprano voice, Tho chorus is a large one of fifty voices and has 1 n selected both from a vocal as well as an artistic standpoint, pleas ing to the ear as well as to the eye. Tim costuming and stage appointments will be all that can bo desired and the ren dering of this jolly opera should be well patronized.

Denman Thompson is feeling so well that he has decided not to make next season his stage farewell, as he had previously declared. A real live countess, who exhibits a den of big lions, is the sensation to which London theater-goers will short ly be treated. Wilton Lackaye has engaged Marie Wainwrlght as his leading support upon his first starring tour, which begins next autumn. He will secure a very strong organization, sparing no expense either in this direction or in the production of his plays. His season is practically booked ,and all preliminaries are ar ranged. AVhen the late Shah of Persia was in Paris in 1869 he visited the Buffalo Bill wild west show, and there met the fam ous Indian chief, Red Shirt. The latter was in his tent and was presented to the Persian monarch. To the Shah's aston ishment Red Shirt held out his hand as though to an equal. The Shah hesitat ed, but when the interpreter whisper ed, "He Is a king,' he took the Indian's hand and shook lt. He was evidently immensely amused and Interested by the dignified old warrior with his feath ers and primitive surroundings. Steve Brodie is the recipient of a mag nificent onyx cane mounted In solid gold and handsomely engraved, from William J. Connors, proprietor of the Buffalo Enquirer. Mr. Connors is a warm admirer of Brodie, and his gift is intended not only as a mark of friend ship, but also as a mark of esteem from the bridge Jumper's generosity in giving Christian burial to poor Lillian Hutchin son last winter In Buffalo. Herman Mohr, a well-known compos er of German choruses, died suddenly May 25th, while playing a game of chess in the rooms of the Young Maennerchor, Philadelphia, Perm. The deceased was about sixty-four years of age, and his compositions were very popular with German singing societies. One of his songs won the prize offered last year by the Saengerfest of Stuttgart, Ger many, in which contest German com posers the world over competed. A well-known actress, who makes her home in this city, had a gentleman call er the other evening, when the conver sation turned to mosquitoes. She spoke of the large ones she found at the sea shore last summer. "Did they bite much." he asked. "Well, I should say so. I wish you could have seen my legs." Tho Dramatic News says: "Jonni" Yeamans was a real hit at Keith's last week, and a big one. Her act is very short, but she sings three songs in which she cleverly imitates the French, Eng lish and American soubrette, and when she got through thn audience fairly howled for her to come back. She is one of the most valuable recruits the vaudeville stage has yet received from dramatic ranks." A New York writer says: "It is quite refreshing to hear a little English on a New York stage. There is so much French, German, Italian, Kusslan an 1 Choctaw, especially in the variety thea ters and the continuous shows that a little American falls upon the ear with a grateful thud. In Chicago so mixed is the population that they put signs In the windows of tlie stores. 'English spoken here.' It wouldn't be a bad idea to put jp a similar si m at a New York variety show—if it wero only so." vercome Through Diplomacy Tho young man was bringing to bear all his limited attainments as a contor tionist in his efforts to see around the tall, wide hat worn by the sweet girl in front of him. The young woman whom he was ac companying saw him and pitied him. Then a knowing smile passed over her face and she leaned over and whispered loudly enough for the girl with, the big hat to hear: What a lovely hat that glrljn front of you lias on." He looked fierce, but said nothing, and the owner of the hat stared straight ahead witli a pleased expression. "What a pity it is," the young woman with the knowing look resumed, "that she doesn't know it isn't on straight." The girl in front made a convulsive grab and shifted the hat to one side. Then it didn't feel right and she shoved it away over on the other side, only to hear in the commiserating stage whisper behind her: "Poor thing! She'll never get it straight now!" It was too much. The girl In front reached up with a resolute hand, undid the hat and laid it in her lap. while the young man cast a glance at his compan ion which-was eloquent with undying admiration and eternal gratitude.—De troit Free Press. Investigations of the blighted corn crops in Anderson, Ind.. cause local sci entific men to arrive at the conclusion that the electrical condition of the air during tlie tornado was different than it has ever been before. In certain sec tions the corn is brown and dead, and can be reduced lo powder by rubbing between the hands. It Is blistered as though subjected to a most terrific heat. The theory advanced is that there were electrical currents in the air Wednes day night that were brought In contact with the ground by the wind, and that they were so hot as to blister the grow ing corn. The matter has attracted a great deal of attention.—Chicago Times- Herald. MUSICAL COLUMN That instructive and interesting vol ume, the City Directory, seems to sup ply one of the grounds on which Los An geles boasts that it is a distinctly musi cal community; for within its pages you will find that there Is a table containing the names of no less than 165 teachers of music, and this list is not complete, since the names of several well known teachers In various branches of the art are not to be found therein. In all probability there are nearly two hun dred men and women within our gates who follow the profession of teaching music. In many oases it Is little more than a profession, for with such compe tition the supply must be greater than the demand however general the musical aspirations of our population may be. There are also many names within the list of those who have no qualification or right to make the profession of teach ing music, but nevertheless Los Ange les does possess really remarkable ad vantages for the student of music in numbering amongst her citizens many most skillful and successful teachers of singing, of the piano, the violin, the or gan and almost every known Instru ment. Presumably it Is this very keen competition which induces some of our best teachers of music to themselves pose as fine pianists and think it advis able in the light of an advertisement to appear on the concert platform. A man may be a very successful teacher of the piano, certainly in its elementary stages, and yet be but an unsatisfac tory performer in public. And it is easy to see why. Imagine any great piano virtuoso being bound down every day to several hours' labor in instructing the schoolgirl in scales and exercises; it would be purgatory to his soul nnd dam aging to his genius. With the great maestro it is a different matter; he only receives "flinishing" pupils of excep tional promise, and his own touch and skill may be preserved undemoralized. These reflections were suggested by hearing last week the disappointing playing of undoubtedly one of the most successful teachers of the piano in Southern California. It is indeed time that the semi-ama teur, semi-professional soloist should lend an ear to a note of warning. Ama teurs are notoriously hyper-sensitive on the matter of criticism, and it would not be just to review their work in pub lic print from the same standard that one would naturally adopt with profes sionals. But there are many ladies and gentlemen in this city who are not too proud to make as much money as they can out of music and have a constant desire to appear before the public. Sev eral such performers appeard during last wek; some of the guilty songsters and songstresses should confine their performances to tlie privacy of their own chambers, and even that should be discountenanced. Again artists that are well worth hearing make a grievous error in allowing their names to appear on programs with such inferiority. How ever delightful a violin recital may be. it is a serious detriment to the pleasure of an audience, if it be sandwiched with execrable singing. The organ at the Simpson tabernarle is neither good enough for the fine audir torium or for the accomplished organist who presides there. Mr. Colby strug gled hard with the instrument last Tues day night, but at length had to declare himself vanquished. During the after noon before the recital an attempt had been made to remedy the rattling of the keys, but the workman had so stiffened tlie action of the instrument as to make it a physical impossibility for Mr. Colby to do any sort of Justice to himself in the heavier movements; accordingly he wisely concluded to abandon them. Nevertheless, the organist gave plenty of proof of his ability both in execution and expression, and his interpretation of a favorite gavotte was a remarkably finished and delicate piece of work. Miss Todd, soprano, Miss Rosin, contralto, and C. S, Cornell, baritone, were the so lo vocalists of the evening and acquitted themeslves with great credit. Mr. Cor nell's choir of forty voices from the First Methodist church also rendered a very good account of themeslves; the tenors, as Is often the case, were too light, and one really good tenor voice would be a great addition to the quality of the lead ers. * * * On the same evening, Tuesday, there was a somewhat distressing perform ance at the Southern California music hall. The musical attractions of the • concert,'' given there by Mrs. Abbott Chandler, were few and far between. .Miss Katharine Kimball's singing re deemed the performance from total in anity. "Ne .sutor ultra crepidam" seems a singularly apt adage for the spiritualist lecturer to apply inspiration to. There is nothing more painful than indifferent or affected recitution; how ever, the majority of the audience semed to enjoy it. •■ * * Mrs. Katherine Bloodgood's song re cital is being anticipated with very much pleasure. It will take plaecat the Friday Morning club hall, ISOtt South Broadway, tomorrow evening, and is certain to attract a large audience. Mrs. Bloodgood has a national reputation, and her splendid vocalism has been en dorsed by all the leading papers of the country. A Hartford paper in reporting the festival held there on May 2, said: The original cast was Nordlca, Mrs. Bloodgood, H. E. Williams and Max Helnrich, which makes an impressive appearance on paper. Of all the singers, Mrs. Katherine Bloodgood sustained her part at the highest level of excellence, and her beautiful and expressive ren dering of O, Rest in the Lord fairly di vided the popular enthusiasm with Nor dica's line and powerful singing of Hear ye Israel. The audience was large and enthusiastic, insisting upon an encore of tho beautiful trio, Lift Thine Eyes, In which Miss King sang the middle part. Both Nordiea and Mrs. Bloodgood were obliged to decline encores. * * * Mr. W. K. Gilbert told a good story against Sir Arthur Sullivan and himself at the Savage club dinner the other day. While the Mikado was in process of in cubation the collaborators decided that It would be an excellent thing to herald the entry of the Japanese monarch by a suitable Japanese tune set to real Jap anese words; and they appealed to a gentleman learned in matters concern ing the far East to help them in their difficulty. Tho result was the chorus in the Second act,"Miya sama, miya sama," the strains of which are also heard with such singular effect in the overture. Un til quit.- recently Sir. Gilbert and Sir Ar thur Sullivan were under the impression that this air belonged to something in the national anthem; but it now seems that they have been badly sold. A friend of Mr. Gilbert's, who saw the Mikado the other day for the tirst time, has written a letter complimenting the author and composer upon the general scheme of their local color, but expressing aston ishment at the introduction of the "Maya sama" chorus, the tune of which he declares to be that of a song sung only in the lowest tea-houses of Yoko hama, and calculated to make the lord chamberlain's hair stand on end. —Pub- lic Opinion. * • • Arnold KraUM gave a very enjoyable violin recital at the Blanohard-Fitzger aid music hall, as far us his part of the program was concerned. He was also very accurately and sympathetically ac companied by Miss Blanche Rogers. The Violinist especially distinguished him self in .Mendelssohn's E minor concerto, and the brilliance of his execution in the fantasle on Carmen drew forth very generous applause. It Is always pleas ant to hear Krauss, but the same cannot truthfully said of the vocalist of th 3 evening. Several beautiful songs lost all their beauty and that is enough said. Miss Virginia Schwartz is a painstaking pianist, but her Interpretations lack color, and she will do well to apply her self to the study of expression. • * • Mr. and Mrs. Thilo Becker gave a de lightful musicale at their home, 203 South Bunker Hill avenue, last evening, when the following very interesting program was rendered: Schuman, Papillons, Miss Koche; Bach, Glgue, from Partita Paloma. Schramm; Chopin, Etude Valse, Miss Watson: vocal selection, Miss E. Kimball; Schumann, Grlllen Mosgkowskl, Etude, Miss Barnes; Liszt, Etude de Concert, Miss Rogers; Grieg, Concerto, Mrs. Botsford. The work of Herr Becker's pupils throughout was eloquent of the purity and soundness of his musical Interpre tation. Little Paloma Schramm once more proved that she Is marvelously j gifted, and one of the difficulties of the teacher will be to check the precocity and preserve the naturalness of her genius. The brilliance of Miss Barnes' execution was an Impressive feature of an entirely charming affair. STRAY CHORDS. Miss Beresford Joy made a most fa vorable impression on the privileged audience that enjoyed her singing nt the Ebell club last Monday afternoon. It is satisfactory to learn that Miss Joy's exceptionally fine contralto will shortly be heard In concert. Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau have signed Mme. Calve for the next operatic sea son, and the visible assets of the firm may be said to have increased 50 per cent. Professor Nicholls of Ontario will pro duce in that city the operetta The Moun-. tain Nymphs on the evenings of the 18th and l'Jth insts. An interesting eqlsode of the Ysaye- Sarasate concerts In Paris was tho playing by each of the Kreutzer Sonata. A superb opportunity was given of see ing what temperament has to do with in terpretation. Marie Barnard, the well known Cal ifornian soloist of American concert companies, has signed a contract with Mr. Vert of London for live years. Mrs. Barnard, who has been studying in Paris with Mme. Ziska. has left for London. Hereafter she is to be known as Marie Barna. She has a repertoire of twelve operas, and was engaged by Mr. Vert through Mr. Mapleson, on first hearing. The Dudley Buck Concert club, which runibers twenty male voices, has de cided to give a concert on Wednesday, the 24th Inst., nt Music hall. The club '. will be assisted by Miss Molly Adelin Brown, soprano, and Miss Beresford Joy, contralto. Two nights and a matinee of light op era this week at the Los Angeles theater should prove a welcome attraction. Josef Hofmann, the pianist, was under contract for next season with Abbey .t Gran, who hold a 60 per cent interest in him, the old firm of Johnston & Ar thur controlling the other 40 per cent. This engagement now falls to the ground, together with all the others. The Jonathan club will give a musicale for members and their ladies on the evening of Thursday the 23rd inst. William Piutti has been elected dean of the conservatory of music of tlie Uni versity of the Pacific. Cabinet CandlJatsi It Is suggested that our late Governor Markham has gone to interview Major McKinley regarding a corner In the next cabinet, and that Colonel H. G. Otis accompanied the gallant colonel in his behalf—all of which would please me mightily if true. Inasmuch as Ed. Web ster left here with the ex-governor it is darkly hinted that he has become a full-fledged Republican, and In extenua tion of his sin will seek palliation in the cabinet also. I think Ed, would like to be secretary of the treasury.—Pasadena Town Talk.
