Curtis opened under the new management last week in Chicago in the famous “Gentieman Joe,’” which ran in London for two years, and about which there has been a good deal of litigation. He is also appearing in a curtain-raiser by Joseph Herbert called “Mulberry Bend,” in which he playsa Hebrew character drawn on “Samuel of | Posen” lines. The cast of “Gentleman Joe'’ engages over sixty people, and the vlay has been sumptuously staged at Mec- Vicker's Theater. Two American Pl ays. American managers continue persist- ently to go to Europe for plays, at least half of which turn out to be complete failures on this side of the Atlantic. Meanwhile the proportion of American plays that do get a production continues to obtain a greater average of success than do the imrortations. The latest hits in New York bave ben made by Du Souchet, author of Friend From In- dia,” and by Madeline Lucette Ryley. DE WOLF HOPPER AT TrRE ~B8ALDWIN ~ The Tivoli msnagement is indeed for- tunate in having secured for its leading man a singer who, hampered by a trem- olo, and an opera “‘that will not meet with popular favor,” can pack the theater at every performance with his own personal | friends.

An American Hero;” a play full of startling -cenic effects, will be given at the Grand Overa-house this week. It isa comedy-drama, built on melodramatic lines, and contains plenty of fun and spe- cialties. There ars also some exciting scenes, in which Harry Mortimer as Colonel Sidney Polk, a daring young American, rescues distressed beauty in the jace of overwhelming obstacles. Inci- dentally there is a thriiling wreck scene, a swim for life, a storm at sea and some beautiful special'scenery. Lorena Atwood and Julia Blanc will be once more in the cast, and Harry Shock, a boy singer who has just come from tue Princess Theater of Leeds, England, is to have an impor- tant juvenile role. Tivoli Opera-House. The new romantic opera, “Shamus O'Brien,”” with the young California barytone, Denis O'Sullivan, in the title role, is evidently gratifying to the theater-coers of this City, for in the long history of the Tivoli Opara-house there is ousa’s and | Robert Poliard, | be the | a big spectacular | iion, will be the next attraction.

Medeline Lucette Ryley’s latest comedy, “The Mysterious Mr. Bugle,” has not anything original about it either, but it is cleverly worked up and 1s providing plenty of amusement for audiences at the Lyceum Theater. The Dramatic News tell- the plot in the following way: “Betty Fondacre is betrothed to Tom Polanger, who is, however, compelled to grandmother, who has made him her heir, toreatens to disinherit him if he contract: any matrimonial alliance before he has arrived at the age of 40 years, Tom, being of a jealous disposition, induces Betty to represent herself as a grass widow whose husband, Mr. Bugle, is traveling on busi- ness. By this means he hopes to prevent the possibility of other men indulging in flirtations with Betty, A series of amusing compvlications a-ise out of the visit of Betty’s cousin, Allen, to her room by way of a window, his fin ing a burglar in the apartment, his lock - ing the crook in an adjoining’ chamber, from which the man escapes, and the sud- den arrival of Tom while he i- discussi ng the adventure with Betty. Allen has to climb down a water pipe before Tom en- ters, bnt tne jealous lover has neard a man’s voice in conversation with Betty | and is determined to find out who the vis- itor was, Allen had also carried off the key to the chamber in which the burglar had been locked.

Morshead & Son, proprietors | of the City Front. stables at Washington | and Drumm streets Friday afternoon of $98 in coin and $200 in checks. Harris was arrested Wednesday after- noon, as stated in yesterday’s GALL, in South San Francisco by Pol cemen Einis and Buckley for being drunk and carry- | ing a concealed weapon in the shape of a revolver. Two hours Iater he was released | on his own recognizance by Judge Low at | the requestof Attorney Walter Gallagher. | When the case was called before Acting | Police Judge Kerrigan Thursday morning he failed to appear and a bench warrant wasissued for his arrest. Judge Low was not ified of the fact and he sent for A'ttor~ ney Galiagher.

Morshead to the City Prison yesterday, and he identifiea Harris as the man who entered his office Friday afternoon a few minutes before the rob- bery, and asked for a pencil and a piece of paper to write a note. Lt is supposed that while Morshead went across the street for a few minutes Harris sneaked back and robbed the safe. He was also identified by Ben Levi, a Clay-street merchant, as a man who en- teréd his office Friday afternoon and asked for a pencil and paper to write a note, but was refused. Young Levi after- ward saw him in the officeof theJ. F. Cunningham Company, next door.to Morshead’s, where he was successful in borrowing & pencil and paper. The detectives think Harris is the man that robbed the ticket office of the creek route at the ferry depot, and the office of the Sausalito ferry two or three weeks azo, as he fully answers the description. Every effort is being made by tne volice to fina Harri®’ room, as they expect to discover the proceeds of other burg'aries on the water front.
