It appeared originally in serial form in a New ?ork weekly. g The story of “Bertha” is intended to point a moral as well as adorn the plot of a drama. The scenes are laid in_humble life and a good deal of sadness is woven into the exciting incidents that occur dur- ing the course of the four acts. Asa foil to this the play contains a strongly marked thread of comedy. After passing two acts in the slums and police courts of New York the author of “The Sewing-machine Girl” transport his audience to the wild surroundings of a Mexican cattle ranch, where the ‘‘Bowery | Boy” of the first act is discovered in the capacity of manager. From that point on ale” would not have lost any- at the Alcazar last week if the prun- ook had been applied to the noble ents expressed in long-winded which were as trying to the speakers as to the hearers. The wordi- ness only crops up here and there and | t have been disposed of, as the play rwise pretty and full of action. the best incidents is based on the lith century legend of Blondin dis- covering Richard Cceur de Lion by singing L Mon Roi” outside his prison. It| a well-acted scene when Hereward | Jessie Bartlett Pavis, Columbia. Hoyte sang in the gypsy camp, and the | lost child crept from under the canvas in | miserable rags, looking a shadow ot his | former self. Miss Jennie Kennark and Miss May Noble | did their parts prettily, their grief for the loss of the kidnaped child being natural | and not overacted. As for Miss Fanny | Young, she had the part that suits her of | all others, that of 2 lady of uncertain age, | who feels that she is not appreciated ac- cording to her merit. | Hereward Hoyte was the star of the | cast; as the British officer he was gallant | and debonair in mufti; in full dress uniform he was dazzling. In. the grand | ball scene Tommy Atkins was as good as | | the piece has brought with it a fad for | captain. In fact, the British army seemed | to beslightly demoralized. Captain Gray was a dragoon, his men were lancers, and | they all wore infaniry uniforms, except | one hussar. | The Miller sisters sang and danced them- selves into the good graces of the public at | the Orpheum last week. Their rataplan, | in which they represented two daughters | of the regiment, and the skirt dance were | among their prettiest acts. | Louis Fialkowski, the gentleman from | Moscow, proved to have a wondertul gift. of imitating things animate and inanimate, from tigers to firecr: His best per- formance, however, was a clever imitation on the violin of the ’cello. The high and broad jumping of John { Higgins recalled the words of the professor at Oxford, who is said to have told his pupils, “If a man could op as a flea "ops, | ’e could ’op from ’ere to Carfax Church in | three 'ops.”” Insomuch asa man can re- semble a flea, that man is John Higgins, for he crossed the wide stage of the Orpheum in two hops. He also hopped over a pair of horses sixteen and a half hands high, but such is the force of habit that one of the animals so strongly ob- jected to being jumped over, preferring no doubr to be “sat upon,” that he edged away from the other horse every time the feat was about to be accomplished. At last an original genius in the audience suggested that they tie the tails together, and to avoid that humiliation the horse stood still for the rest of the week, when- ever Mr. Higgins wished to hop over him. “Trilby” will run for two weeks longer at the Baldwin Theater. The coming of | “Trilby’ theater parties, ana both the dramatization and its interpreters have become popular here. The last performance takes place on Sat- urday, October 18, and on the following Monday comes Canary & Lederer's New York Casino production, *‘The Passing Show,” with its handsome costumes, its | dances and its pretty girls. The piece is a huge burlesque on . all the dramatic and operatic successes of the past year or two, knitted to a number of clever specialties. Among the most prominent artists in the MLLE.

The Bostonians open a limited engage- ment at the Columbia Theater on Tuesday evening next, with a revival of Smith and De Koven’s ever-popular light opera, “Robin Hood.” It is stated that the Bostonians have Ignacio Martinetti, Baldwin Theater plenty of new material on hand, but the demands of managers throughout the country have been so urgent for “Robin Hood” that they have at lastdecided to place De Koven'’s first success again promi- nently in their repertoire, and therefore the ‘“‘only American opera which has had a Eu- ropean success,”” as the advertisements say, will be presented for the first two weeks of the engagement with almost the original cast. sI‘ne third week, “Prince Ananias,” which was produced at the Broadway Theater, New York, last season, *‘Prince Ananias” treats in a comical way of the adventares of a vaga- bond poet and outlaw and a band of stroli- ing players. This year there have been few material changes among the principals of the Bostonians. Henry Clay Barnabee, W. H. MacDonald, Jessie Bartlett Davis, George Krothingham, Jerome Sykes and Josephine Bartlett remain as of yore, but the sopranos have been strengthened by the engagement of Helen Bertram. This young prima donna won Jaurels last season in New York and Brook- lyn, these cities unanimously speaking of her as one of the most promising among American sopranos. Among the tenors are Harold Blake and Frank V. Pollock. Both are comparitively unknown, but they are said to be gifted with fine voices of exceptional range. The chorus of the Bostonians has been reorganized, and the veterans who had seen t0o many years’ service with the com- pany have been replaced by fresh talent. An augmented orchestra will be carried, 8. L. Studley being the conductor. It is stated that special attention will be given to scenic effect. A new curtain representing a scene from the Yosemite will be used for the first time at the Columbia Theater on Tuesday next. Tivoli Opera-House. The grand opera season will be resumed at the Tivoli to-morrow night by the pro- duction of Verdi’s “Traviata,” with Ida Valerga in the title role. For a lyric work in the older Verdi style ‘’La Traviata’ gives the prima donna unusual histrionic ogporlunizieu. The libretto is based on the younger Dumas’ “‘La Dame aux Ca- melias,” and in most respects it follows the familiar lines of that harrowing story. Ida Valerga and Laura Millard will alter- nate in the leading role. Mabella Baker will sing Flora; Kitty Loomis, Annina; Martin Pache, Alfred; John J. Raffael, George Germont, his father; John P. Wil- son, Gastone; W. H. West, Marquis; George H. Broderick, the doctor, and G. Napoleoni, the baron. The grand opera season will be com- pleted %y productions of “Il Trovatore,” “*Carmen” and ‘‘Cavalleria Rusticana.” A season of comic opera will be opened by a spectacular production of a new opera entitled, “The Lucky Star,” to be followed by representations for the first time in this city of several new operas. Grand Opera-House. A special matinee will be given at the Grand to-morrow afternoon, when Milton Nobles will open the third week of his the incidents assume a thrilling frontie character. The title role of “Bertha’’ will be played by Miss Julia Blanc, As usual at the Grand new scenery will be presented in each act. Grover’s Alcazar. The production at the Alcazar to-mor- row night will consist of Grover’s own comedy, “My Son-in-Law.” The story of the play is familiar to most San Francisco playgoers, but no doubt the funny expe- riences of Cholmondeley Stuart and his prospective mother-in-law will arouse their wonted hilarity. “My Son-in-Law” will be the occasion for the first appearance of Leonard Grover Sr. at the Alcazar under his own manage- ment. He will play his favorite role of Briston, the dancing-master. The cast of the comedy will so include Leonard Grover Jr., the Misses Jennie Kennark, May Noble, Gracie Plaisted, Mrs. Young, Hereward Hoyte and Charles E. Lothian. The play 1 be mounted with new scenery. Matinees will take place on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. The last performance of ‘“Rosedale” will be given at to-day’s mutinee. At the Orpheum. The new acts to be presented at the Or- pheum to-morrow night will consist of the acrobatic performance of the Shroder Brothers and the sketch act of Murphy and Mack. The former come from New Henry Clay Barnabee, Columbia. York and the latter have just arrived from Sydney, N. 8. W. The Schroders are con- sidered to be one of the best acrobatic teams 1n the business, both in Europe and in this country. Murphy and Mack are Australian artists who have been winning popularity in the Antipodes during the last two years. Pearl Andrews will terminate her engage- Edith Crane, Baldwin Theater. menton Sunday, Like most of last week’s performers she will appear in new apecial- ties to-morrow. The People’s Theater. George T. Clayton is repainting and re- modeling the old Howard-street Theater, the scene of Walter Morosco’s early suc- cesses. In a few days, as the ‘“People’s Theater,” it will shine forth resplendent in white and gold. Clayton has decided to introduce a novelty into the theatrical business. The house will be devoted to thrilling melodramas, but between acts vaudeville stars will do their turns, in gleace of entr’acte music. The house is to under the direction of W. L. Gleason, who has had a long experience as stage manager and actor. Saturday, October 12, is to be the opening night, when Bouci- cault’s “After Dark” will be presented with Mr. Gleason, James M. Ward, Darrell Vinton, Elizabeth Reid and other well- known people in the cast. California Theater. The California Theater will reopen with “Charley’s Aunt” on the 4th of next month. Among the attractions to follow will be: “The War of Wealth,”” Herrmann, Robert Downing, Corinne, May Irwin, Louis James, Paderewski, Thomas Keene and “In Old Kentucky.” Dramatic News in Brief. Sir Arthur Sullivan’s opera *‘The Chief- tain’’ is a success at Abbey’s Theater. Sousa’s band will give several concerts here under the management of Friedlan- der, Gottlob & Co. Ada Rehan, Mme. Modjeskaand Richard Mansfield are among the attractions booked for the Baldwin this season. The pupils of the Columbia School of Dramatic Art make their debut Sunday evening next. Three short plays will be produced. The New York papers speak in high terms of *‘A Social Highwayman,” just produced at Mansfield’s theater, the Gar- rick. The play is a dramatization by Mary Stone of a story by Elizabeth Phipps Train. Mansfield was ill when “A Social High- wayman'’ was produced at Iis theater, and by order of the doctors he believed that the manuscript was hidden in his desk till New York had pronounced the Fluy a succe: The good news has made 1im convalescent.
