It is called “The Vanish- ing Grenadiers,” and is the production of W. H. West. The act calls for seventeen artists, who §° through some wonderfully intricate evolutions, which, combined with the many effects produced by vari-colored lights, is beautiful beyond description. The four Shrodes will be another feature that will attract unusual attention, as will also the Millar brothers’ famous *‘Diorama’” with .its many scenic marvels. Three brass bands accompany the organization, and will be heard in the monster street parade to-morrow afternoon. The Columbia. Rivarde has pleased his audiences.

A very elaborate production of *Vir- ginius” is announced for the coming at- traction at this house, with the well-known tragedian Edmund Collier in the title role. Of Collier’s personation a critic of the | day remarks: “It is a noble and com- plete piece of acting—full of high passion, deep and delicate pathos, intense energy both of conception and execution, and the whole rounded off by a finished taste and discrimination.” The play follows closely the history, except as to the munner of quhu’ death. n brief follows the main incidents of the play: Vireinia, a free-born Roman maiden and daughter of Virginius, has been seen by Appius during her father’s | absence at the camp. Being seized with a | passion for her, he unfolds his plans to Claudius, who seizes her in the street and claims her as his slave. [cilius, the betrothed husband of Virginia, de- mands time, that he may inform her father. Appius, thinking it impossible for Virginius to return before the time set, grants a limited time. Virginius arrives at the last moment. and, with his daugh- | ter, appears at the Forum. Through false swearing Virginia is declared the slave of Claudius. Virginius, seeing that he is owerless to save hischild, and rather than have ber fall into the hands of Appius and to save her honor, seizes a knife and kills ber. He destroys Appius ina fit of tem- porary insanity and gives the catastrophe the air of a visitation of Providence. > Bush-Street Theater. The dear old Bush-street is going to open its doors once more, and to nothing less than grand opera. ‘“Ernani™is to be given by the Ziliani Operatic Club on the 14th inst., with a powerful cast and a cho- rus of forty voices, The prima donna so- prano—Mrs. Mauri—promises to be a sur- prise. She Fuasen:a a rare voice, silvery, compact, full and well modulated. She sings with pathos, reaches the highest notes with ease and descends to the low- est register with equal facility. The barytone and the basso, Messrs. A. A. Borlini and P. Lafranch, are pupils of Ziliani. Borlini will portray Charles V and Lafranch’s powerful basso is alread. known and appreciated. Dr. Hodghead, as Ernani, sings his part well; the second- ary parts are excellent and the chorus strikingly effective. Next month, at the Bush-street Theater, Miss May Keune will play ““Camille,” with Mr. Dudleigh Stanhope as Armand, sup- orted by an excellent cnmnnu%. Mr. R. f.evy and Mr. Kilgo and Miss Cummings are in the cast, and rehearsals have been going on for the last month, At the Tivoli. “The Chimes of Normandy,” which have rung before from the Tivoli’s wings, will sonnd again during the present week. The piece 18 being very carefully prepared and indications point to a successful sea- son. “Bluebeard’s” success was phenomenal and there is talk of its being put on again, An operatic version of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” is in preparation, which promises to score a great hit. The cast for the “Chimes” will be as follows: Germain, the lost Marchioness. Serpolette, the good for nothing. Gertrude . Henri, Marquis of Corneville. Jean Grenicheux, fisherma: Gaspard, miser. Batlie _Ferrls Hartman Willlam H. West Fred Kavanagh At the Orpheum. The managers have a new company for this afternoon’s matinee. John W. Ran- sone, Charlotie Parry, the three Nightons, Carr and Jordan, Morton and Mack and the Mimic Four are the most important of the new people. Ransone is already known as_a favorite topical comedian in New York, his make-up and burlesque characterization ot Richard Croker, the Tammany leader, having made him famous there, Miss Parry comes heralded as a worthy compeer of Yvette Guilbert. The Nightons are ring-performers and aerial athletes; Carrand Jordan have joined laurels as singing comedians and dancers; Morton and Mack are said to Ynsent Irish comedy vocal selections of the genuine Erse type; and the Mimic Four are bur- lesquers and singers.

The Loring Club will complete its nine. teenth year of active musical work on the evening of Monday, May 4, at the fourth concert of the present season in Odd Fel- lows’ Hall. A particularly attractive programme has been arranged for this concert. Among the princllf)al numbers is Dudley Buck’s ‘‘Chorus of Spirits and Hours” for tenor solo and male voice chorus with accompa- niment of a quintet of strings, flute, piano and organ, By request the club will repeat Brewer’s beautiful setting of the'words, *'Sing, sing, music was given,” for barytone solo, male voice chorus and piano accompaniment with obligati of violin and vicloncello, which was sung by them at the first con- cert of the present season. The pro- eramme also includes one of the double choruses from Mendelssohn’s *‘(Edipus at Colonos™ (which has not been heard in San Francisco for five years), the cele- brated ‘“Chorus of Dervishes,” from Beethoven’s *‘Ruins of Athens,” Franz Abt’s ““Ave Maria” and other numbers, The club will have the assistance of Mme. Seminario, soprano, and Bernat Jaulus, who will play Joachim’s two Hebrew melodies for solo viola and piano accompaniment, Mrs. Carmichael = Carr will be the pianist and accompanist of the evening, and the concert will be under the direction of D. P. Hughes. A Piano Recital. Next Thursday evening Misses Hilda Newman and Evelyn Henry will give a piano duo recital in the Century Club Auditorium, 1215 Sutter street.

There was a large gathering of musical people in Golden Gate Hall last Thursday night at the testimonial concert tendered Mrs. Carmichael-Carr. The affair was very pleasant, some of the numbers being particularly good. The Horse Show. Crowds are filling the horse show, where Professor Bristol’s horses, mules and po- nies are performing. There are thirty well-train d animals, whose feats are most interesting. The entertainment will con- tinue during the week. Local Dramatic Notes. There is to be a big three division parade by Primrose & West's Minstrels to-mor- row afternoon. The sale of seats for Ada Rehan’s en- gagement at the Baldwin will commence Tuesday, May 12. Hoyt's big company in “‘A Trip to Chi- natown” will follow Primrose & West at the California Theater, “A Trip to Chinatown” will be presented at the California Theater by the strongest company ever put in one farce by Charles Hoyt. The singing of the church choir of Nu- remberg, as heard in the Morrison pro- duction of “Faust,” is said to be a most attractive and interesting feature. In Morrison’s *“Faust'’ company William D. Roberts plays Mephisto, Miss Olive Martin plays Marguerite, Miss Annie Lewis Sycorax and Mrs E. J. Vandenhoff plays Zendoe. William H. Windom, with Primrose & West's Minstrels, is one of the great- est living altos. He has selected some of his best numbers for rendition during his stay in this City. An early attraction of the Columbia Theater will be the first performance here of Amy Leeand Frank Doane in their new comedy, written expressly by E. J. Swartz, entiled *‘Miss Harum Searum.” The Rebekahs of the City have arranged with the management of the Columbia Theater for an entertainment, which is to be given on Thursday evening, May 14, the proceeds of which are to go to the I. 0. 0. ¥, Orphans’ Home. For the appearance of his company and Ada Kehan at the Balawin Theater Augustin Daly will transport his complete scenic outfit and accessories 1or his remark- able repertoire, and the productions here will be identical with those given Mr, Daly at his theaters in New York and London. If negotiations do not fail, and from present indications they will not, San Francisco will_very soon have the pleas- ure of seeing Loie Fuller in her entirely new creation. The artist is arranging for a tour of Australia and expects to appear in this City before taking the steamer for the Antipodes. Thantmfltlu. “The Prisoner of Zenda" has proved one of the most successful romantic plays pre- sented in America *or some years past. Chauncey Olcott, who is playing in Bos- ton to crowded houses, closes his season May 23. His next tour begins August 2, in San Francisco. A company of fifty-three Australian blacks is touring Queensland under the management of a Maori and giving a profitable tent show. Duse’s entire American tour has been postponed, 0wlng to the great actress’ severe illness. She intends sailing for Italy as soon as her health will permit. Manager Pitou closes the tour of his “Mme. 8ans Gene” company May 2. The next season of this organization, which will include Kathryn Kidder and Augus- tus Cook, begins August 81, in San Fran- cisco. Alexander Salvini is playing his annual engsgement in Chicago at the Schiller Theater. Next week he is to make known his long-talked-of production of “Othello,” in which he will & seen for the first time as the Moor. Mrs. Henry Vandenhoff, whose portraval of the nurse in “Romeo and Juliet” at the Grand Opera-house in 1890 is still remem- bered by San Franciscans, writes THE CaLL 8 pleasant letter from Portland, where she is at present staying. Aubrey Boucicanlt is probably one of the most talented, as well as versatile, young men on the stage to-day. Drama,lcomedy, tragedy, comic opera and even burlesque seem to fit him, and he certainly has a very great future before him. Sadie Martinot first played Moya in “The Shaughraun” with Dion Boucicault in Dublin ten years ago. The audience did not take kindly to it at first, but after several performances the theater was not large enough to hold the people who crowded tosee the play. Fay Templeton tells a story about E. E. Rice, thoroughly characteristic of the man. When “1492” was at the height of its saccess, Rice took it for a week’s tour in New England. He divided his time be- tween a lot of small towns where he had spent much time asa poor boy. ‘““Was the trip a success?’ asked Miss Temple- ton, when he returned to New York. “On, yes,”” replied Rice, ‘I lost $3000 on the week, but I got everv cent they had. I'm satisfied.” Deyo, the sprightly dancer of ‘‘Excel- sior Jr.,” savs that the best dancers are those who have been well trained, no mat- ter where they come from. “Thought, study, brain, sentiment, good health— there you have a dancer,” she added. “In America everything is for one season. In Europe you ‘are in one place for many years, and you have time to study and perfect yourself. America is a great coun- try, but for the fine art of dancing it moves too quickly to be thorough.” —_— James D. Lomax, a Founder of the Republican Party in Ohio, Dies in This City. He Went to Moniana With the Vir. ginia City Rush and Afterward Settled at Salt Lake. James D. Lomax, aged 76 years, a native of Ohio and one of the foundersof the Republican party in that State, a personal friend of Abraham Lincoln and other leading statesmen of that time, and a Veteran of the Mexican War, who died at 131y Twenty-fifth street on Thursday, will be buried at Laurel Hill Cemetery to- morrow. The deceased came here from Salt Lake City in 1890 and has since lived with his daughter, Mrs. B. F. Steacy. He is the stepfather of 8. P. Carter. Besides three stepsons and a daughter heleaves a widow to mourp his loss. Mr. Lomax was a pioneer of Montana. He went 10 that State long before it had a Territorial government. This was after he had lost a fortune which he had ac- vired in Obio and Illinois. He was at %irxinln City. Mont., at the time when it was a flon ing mining eamp; one of the great mining camps in the history of the West. He served on the bench in the turbulent days of Montana and always upheld law and order with a firm hand. “In 1369 Mr, Lomax removed to Salt Lake City, where he practiced law up to the time of his coming to this City in 1890. e s The ow!'s eyes have no muscles by which they can be moved.
