Itisa dramatizgfion of George Manville Fenn’s famous novel en- titled “This Man’s Wite.” Tue theme of the play consists in the main of a wife's sublime devotion to a husband who from | start to finish is totally unworthy of ber loyalty.

At the last momentand in defense of her child, whom the husband is forcing into an odious marriage, the mlfdxe\‘ulu against him and protects the child. A number of clever characters ars intro- duced in the play, while the comedy ele- ment is made strong to lighten up the otherwise somberness of the piece. The action takes place in Kngland and Aus- tralia. Tie life and customs of the famous Nully Nully Prison in the latter country are fuily illustrated, as well al-o as the peculiar method of rich settlers of Austra- lia and the Government of England in the treatment and handling of the prisoners in this famous penal colony. The cast is n long one. Following are the principals: Fred J. Butler, Mortimer Snow, Landers Stevens, Lesiie Morosco, Maud Edna Hall, .;ulul: Blanc, Lorena Atwood and Erma fitch. TJivoli Opera-House. The bright humor, topical songs, grace- ful dancing and up-lo-date incidents of the sparkling operetta, “The Isle of Champagne,’”” continue to amuse large audiences nightly at the Tivoli Opera- house, with Mr. Stevens as the bibulous King, and will be continued until further notice.

Plcazar Theater. “Gloriana,”’ the clever comedy that suc- ceeds “Rosedale” at the Alcazar Theater the coming week,was written by theauthor of “Wilkinson’'s Widows” and *Jane,” two enormously successful comedies. “Gloriara” exceeds them both in brilliancy of comedy and ludicrous situations. The story isof a dashing young widow, Mrs. ering Gloriana, who; while at Brighton three months before the opening of the play, had indulged in a desperate flirta- tion with one Leopold Fitz Jocelyn of her Majesty’s diplomatic corps, and both ex- changed photographs and several com- promising letters. Gloriana has gone on the Continent to join her betrothed hus- | band, a Russian Count, and Fitz Jocelyn returns home and is about to marry a | pretty young lady, to whom he was also engaged. He has been unable to secure the return of his letters and photos from Gloriana and is much disturbed thereat. His fiancee calls with ber father to tell him they have compieted preparations jor the wedding, and while they re- tire to an inner room his valet announces | Mrs. Lovering. ln desperation hechanges clothes with his valet, whom she has never seen, and tells he deceived her regarding his real station, and that he was but a common valet. Contrary to bis expectations Gloriana seems pleasea at the change and tells him she loves him better in his menial rank ana will engage him as a huntsman for ber future Hus- bana, the Count. Sbe demands to see his master. In | scene, with the real valet posing as F | Jocelyn, she «ifects the master's re! {from his service, and he goes with her, hoping to secure the photo and letters in time for his marriage. The young lady and her father return to find Spinks, the valet, in his master’s dr2ssing-gown, laughing at the joke. He tells them his master has gone to bed with the mumps and cannot be seen. The second act finds | Fitz Jocelyn as Spinks, the valet, instailed in service to Gloriana. She plans a nice little dinner for two, and to that end ser:ds both her servants away. They are interrupted by the unexpected return of the Count, who demands an explana- a most delightfully funny 2 tion. Gloriana tells bhim that this is the new huntsman she had en- gaged for him. Spinks, the valet, in Liis master’s clothez, calls to pay his respects to the Count and is recog- nized by Kitty, Gloriana’s maid, as Spinks, a valet, who had made love to her in the summer. He tells her because of ber menial position he had wooed her in- cognito, but that in reality he was Leopold Fitz Jocelyn. They embrace and Kitty runs at the approach of the Count. He has received an anonymous letter saying that while at Brighton Gloriana, clad in a red and white siriped dress and Gains- borough hat, had been seen every evening on the iron pier with a young man, one Fitz Jocelyn. In a rage he challenges the valet toa duel and they arrange to meet | in the morning on the field of Waterloo. | Gloriana, learning that Fitz Jocelyn is to marry, in order to be with Spinks dis- guises as a lady’s maid and goes into ser- vice with the young lady heis to marry. Ritty comes to prevent her lover from marrying and the plot is exposed. Glori- ana learning that his rank is equal to her ! own feels no regard for him and returns to her Count, teiling Fitz Jocelyn that she had long ago destroyed his photo and letters. The whole story abounds in the purest comedy situations and is, in fact, the queen of them all. 5 Preceding “Gloriana” Yrancis Carlyle will be seen in the new curtain-raiser written especially for him by ClaygM. Greene entitled *Reclaimed. Gorbett and Fitz at the Olympic. So great has been the success of the veriscope pictures of the Corbett-Fitzsim- mons fight at the Olympic that the Walter Orpheum Company has decided to show them for one more, and positively the last, week. Many improvements have been made in the machine and lighting arrangements since the opening night, and there is much le-s flicker and wavy motion than when the exciting scenes were first shown. : The lowering of the rate of admission was a popular move, and the large audi- ences every afternoon and evening include a goodly number of ladies. Orpheum. Papinta, the myriad and drapery cer, who created such & sensation in San Francisco last year, will reappear at the Orpbeum to-morrow evening. She is the equal of Loie Fuller, and has a dozen different dances, all of them startlingly novel and original; they are called ““The Myriad or Mirror dance,” “Fire dance,” and another called “El Capitan.” Jack Crawiord and William Manning, black face comedians, will make their first ap- pearance in San Francisco as “Two Colored Congressmen-elect” on their way to Washington. They are said to be very clever in their line of business. Wilham and Wilbert Deonze will hmummAn new acrobatic act in which somersaults in and out -of barrels and trick tumbling will play important parts. Andy and Flora McKee, an eccentric comedy coupie, will give a laughable sketch entitled ‘‘Hural Life,”” and Ida Grey Scott, the dramatic soprano, who has cr:ated such a favorable impression during the week, will change her selections. Imogene Comer, the descriptive singer, will also changze her songs and- dresses, which, by the way, are of a strle seidom seen at the Orpheum. The rest of un interesting programme w 1i Le contributed to by Francis J. Bryant, Ouda, the aerial performer, and Harry le Clair, who makes his farewell appearances. Thé Wednesday matinees are very popu- lar. 7 At Sutro Baths. The novel aquatic feats and the refined biils offered at Sutro Buiths on Sundays | are making thatresort very popular. This afternoon and evening Mile. Lira, Con- toise, J. F. Hopkins anda Kalacratus, are on the programme. Lira is almost as well known as Loie Fuller, and her ser- pentine and skirt dances are beautiful and artistic. Contcise does a neatequilibristic act. Hopkins is said to be the best xvlo- phonist west #f Chicago, and Kaulzcratus is a clever juggler. The aquatic events for this afternoon are a plate-picking con- test and a 100 yardsamateur 1ace for men. Swimming suits to the value of $5, §3 and $2 will be given the winners in tue latter, and three money prizes to winners in the former. At the Chutes. Adgie and her trained lions have been such a drawing card av the Chutes that the daring woman aud ner ferocious pets bave been engaged for another and posi- tively last week. The entertainments given every aiternoon and eveningin the Chutes’ free theater are most enjoyable, and the new bill will include the Wheeler | sisters, vocalists; Dan Meader’s royal marionettes; Trobert, a man of mystery, and a number of other features. The “Trip to Ogden,” *“Haunted swing,’’ chutes and scenic railway are all as popu- lar as ever. Gharles Ulrich’s Ghinese Play. After a highly successful run of two weeks at the Oakland Theater ‘A Celestial Maiden,”, the Chinese play written by Charles Ulrich, a newspaper man of this City, closes to-night. The reception ac- corded to the play was most flattering and attests to the full its popularity as a dramatic production. Loth press and public are” unanimous in its praise, and that it is deserving of commendation is evidenced by the fact that it broke the theatrical record in Oakland. Dramatic Brevities. Katberine Fleming Hinrichs will appear for the first time in opera in this City at the Tiv- oli.

The plot is based on one of his stories, which he revised for the stage. Olga Nethersole will sue the Frohmans be- cause they have not given her a London sea- son. She was given the salary forthe eight weeks specified in her contract, but herar- tistic blood is up and she has appealed to the courts. Francis Powers’ Chinese drama “The First Born” will goon the road splendidly equipped The ertieiic new printing which the clever artist Sims has got up has made a big hit. The costumes, scenery ana music, us well as the original story, should appesl to every city ou the coast. The other morning the New York Herald published a German cable to the effect that tbe Emperor Willinm had intrusted the port- folio of Foreign Affairs temporarily to Herr von Bulow. This dispatch was embellished with a por- trait of Dr. Hans von Bulow, tne celebrated pianist, who aied some time ago.

A communication was received from the Kansas City trades unions stating that thev had declared a joint boycott un the Armour Packing Company of that city for the wholesale discearge of union men. A receipt for $19950 was received from J. W. Monteith, the attorney for SalterD. Worden, being the amount subscribed by the various unions for his defense.

Either Oakland has broken its record as a show town or else the new Chinese play, ‘A Celestial Maiden,” by Charles Ulrich, has made a distinct hit. A professional matinee for theatrical and newspaper people was given last Thursdaey, and a large delegation went over from San Francisco. J. Lou Hallett, who owns the Pacific Coast rights to the play, bas licensed Manager Thomas D. Bates, wno is now playing in Oakland, to pro- duce the ‘‘Celestial Maiden’ in the smaller towns of California and Nevada, and it is now being booked. Mr. Hallett has not yet de- cided on its San Francisco production further than that it wiil be seen atan early date at one of the leading theaters. When Charlotte Wolter, the great German actress, who died recently in Vienna, began her stage career, her voice was disagreeable, harsh, hesitating and girlish. From that same throat proceeded a few years later a voice such as has never before or since been heard on the German stage—metallic and full, so charming, so intensely effecting. Now the listener's eat reveied in the sweetness of her tones, now it was carried away by their irre- sistible force.
