La | Gioconda Joves Enzo, a Genoese sailor- | leman, and Laura loves him 4oo. | o's fancy turns to Laura, who was his | betrothed before her iriends compelled | her to marry one of the Council of Ten. Enzo and Laura are on the eve of eloping on Enzo’s vessel, which lies in the Fusina Lagoo Barnaba, the spy, discovers their plans and seuds for three war gal- leys to intercept them. La Gioconda ap- pears, vowing vengeance against berrival, but when Laura shows her the rosary she promises to befriend the woman who taved her mother from a dungeon. This <he does by changing masks with Laura and sending the high-born lady away in safety before her husband’s spies can ar- rest her. Enzo, disgusted at seeing the Venetian galleys bear down on his ship, cets fire to it and sings the tenor’s grand | aria while the flames advance. : Alviso’s suspieions have been aroused | and he commands his wife to take poison ! during the progress of a grand fete at his palace, La Gioconda arrives in time to give flmm a sleeping potion that pro- duces an appéarance of death, and Al viso imagines he is a widower, whereas the mountebank takes care in_ reality of Laura till ~she awakes at bher owa dwelling. The sailor-Jover, not knowing of the sleeping potion, accuses Alviso of murder, and is at once arrested | and thrown into a dungeon. The faitbful | Gioconda secures his release by promising to accept the love of Barnaba, the spy, and sends Enzo and Laura on their way to Genoarejoicing. When Barnaba comes to claim La Gioconda she stabs herself to the heart, exclaiming: “I have sworn to be thine. Take me, T am thine.” Most of the musicof *La Gioconda is nown 1n this country.

The interest of the story, aside from the excitine military scenes, lies ina love episode between Rachel McCreery, a Southern girl, and Colcnel Charles Prescott of tie Beventh Massachusetts | Volunteers. For family reasons Ra- | chel is already engaged to Lienten- | ant Gordon Hayne, a Confederate officer, Dramatic effects aremude by the author in brineing tbese two officersand lovers of the same woman in contact. They cross each other at all points, and Prescott is in an almost constant dilemma between a sense of duty and a wish to screen Gordon Hayne, wbo is Rachel’s cousin as well as | ber affianced. Tne Massachusetts colonel | is, 80 to speak between two fires—Rachel’s | pleadings the one, and the immediate daoger from ihe Confederate riflemen the { | other. Six months afier the “unpleasant- ness” is over the drawing-room of the Mec- | Creery mansion is “held.by the enemy,"” in the shape of Colonel Prescott, minus war alarms. | Alcazar Theater. “The Sportsman,” the attraction for te- morrow night, is by the author of “Jane.” The play was one of the successes of the | | | Empire Theater, New York, and has aever | bee n seen in America outside of that city, last week of its reghiar season by pre- | as the young ltalian sailor, Enzo. Oune of the chief features of the opera is the fine orchestration, which will be interpreted by the symphony orchestra. A choir of boys’ voices will sing the celebrated sere- nade in the third act. Ecenery has been paintea from the original models, and new costumes and accessories have been pre- pare dfrom the Eurcpean pla es. “La Gioconda’ will be the bill on Tues- day, Friday and Saturday evenings, as well as to-morrow. On Wednesday and Thursday **Aida” will be repeated. The succeeding operas will be *Pagli- acci’’ and “Cavalleria Rusticana,” to be fol- lowed by “Fausi,” ‘“Mignon,” “The Huguenots” and “The Fiying Dutch- man.” The plotof “La Gioconda” is as follow. At the Orpheum. Stanley Whiting, a2 newcomer, will make his first appearance in this City at the Orpheum to-morrow evening. His specialty is imitating the songs of the Southern negroes. He will be assisted by acolored boy from Mobile, Ala. Little Leola Mitchell, known as “The Living Doll,” will also be new. She is4feet3 inches in height, and is said to be the smallest woman on the American stage. Miss Mitchell is a graduate of the Bos- ton Conservatory of Music and sings se- lections ranging from ‘‘coon’ songs io grand opera arias. The Knaben-Kapelle continues to be a musical sensation, and <& STANLEY WHITING orchestral concerts is the ballet suite of AT the Hours. This is danced in Italian opers-houses at the fete where Alviso . . shows Laura’s supposed remains to his guests, and is generally made a fine spec- repre- tacular production, the coryphees senting every hour of the day from dawn to sunset. A well-known Italian musical journal, Il Trovatore, makes the announcement that in America music is being put to a new and deifying uze. ‘It has been said, and if you choose it has been proved,” says Il Trovatore, “that music has the power of beautilying the'soul. If this is the case why should it nct also beautify the person? We suppose this was the reasoning of the scientist who has set himself to study the influence of mu. sic on the features and forms of members of the buman race. His studies were immediately crowned with bappy results, and since science should always be put to practical ends, the discoverer is now making use of his invention. Naturally he hails from America—from New York. He has insti- tuted a sort of therapeutical studio where he embellishes all comers to the sound of music, and he 1s besieged by ugly men and women who want to become beautiful, and by good-looking men and women who are anxions to become as irresistible as Don Juan or Cleopatra. The system is founded on the tneory that the face re- flects the mind, and that by bringing into play the muscles that produce the most pleasing expression the facial transforma- tion is gradually produced.”” To-morrow night will give us yet another war drama, *‘Held by the Enemy,”” at the Columbia. Where would the American { dramatist have been without the late un- pleasantness? The war must appear to native piaywrights to have been a special dispensation of Providence sent to provide melodramatic surroundings for love. making—which wou!d otherwise have run too smoothly for dramatic purposes. It's an ill wind, etc., and whatever other pur- poses the war served, it has been the salvation of the American drama. Marie EVELYN, Baldwin Theater. “The Heart of Maryland” is to be pre- sented for only fourteen more perform- ences, and this will be the only engage- ment of the play in this City, owing to arrangements for its production in East- ern cities prior to the Loncon production, which will take place at the Adeiphi The- ater on April 16 next, with Mrs. Leslie Carter and the present cast. A Fool of Fortune,” Martha Morton’s comedy-drama, which William H. Crane will give as the opening bill of his coming engagement at the Baldwin Theater, deais with the doings of Wall-street mag- nates, Crane, in the role of Elisha Cun- ningham, gives a cbaracter study. He has a new play in course of preparation for first pressntation during hie comicg engagement he It is called A Vir- ginia Courtship,” and its action is laid in the early part of the present centory. In consequence of the demana for sedts, there will be a special matinee of “The Heart of Maryland’’ next Wednesday, Golumbia Theater. To-morrow evening the Frawley Com- pany will inaugurate the fourtzenth and J. M. Colwille will take the leading part, that of Harry Briscoe, an alleged sportse man, who tells his wife that he is going | off to hunt while in reality heis bound for nis ciub. There he indulges in gam- bling, though be never fails to return to his hore with game. Dr. Holroyd, a suitor of Mrs. Briscoe's | before her marriage, attempts to embitter | her against her husband, whom he ac- cuses ot passing his time with other women. A number of amusing compli- cations spring from this idiosyncrasy of Harry Briscoe’s. Preceding *‘The Sportsman.” a one-act curtain-raiser, *‘Napoleon’s Old Guard,” will be presented, in. which Mr. Trader will take the leading part. In tnissketch Miss May Bucklev will probably take the leading femule part. Grand Opera-House. “The Fire Patrol,” a sensational melo- drama by James Harkins, authorof *‘The White Squadron’” and “The Midnight Alarm,” will be mounted to-morrow evening. As its name indicates, the drama is founded on phases of life amonz the firemen. It does not lack for inci- dents, and among its features may be mentioned a safe-breaking episode, a murder and a very realistic response of the fire patrol to an alerm. W. L. Gleason has been especially engaged for Lushing- ton Staggeract, a part he played at its original production here. The other im- portant roles are to be handied by Fred J, Butler, Mortimer Snow, Landers Steve Leslie Morosco, Fred Fairbanks, George Nicholls, Julia Blane, Lorena Atwood and Alice Condon. Maud Edna Hall will play her original role. Jivoli Opera-House. To-morrow, for the fourth week of the present grand opera season, under the direction of Gustav Hinrichs, the second novelty of the season will be heard, This will be Ponchielli's romantic grand opera, ‘‘La Gioconda,”” a work which bas received the approval and esteem of th best musical critics of the Old World. The score contains many beautifal solos, pow- erful duets, inspiring ensembles and mag- nificent finales; the plot is excellent and was taken from a favorite Italian romance. The cast will inciude Mme. Selma Kro- nold as La Gioconda, a ballad singer; Katherine Fleming Hinzichs as her blina mother, Bernice Holmes as Laura; Wil- liam Mertens as Barnaba, a spy; Signor Viviani as the noble Aiviso, the head ot the State inquisition, and Rbys Thomas AND Hi "”F “THE: ORPHEUM.

At the Ghutes. The scenes of the Kiondike are attract ing a great deal cf attention at the Chutes, the views of Dyea, Juneau, the terrible Chilcoot Pass and Skaguay being con- sidered especially renlistic. They convey a good idea of the hardships that must be encountered in going 10 the frozen north. To-day the vaudeville entertainment in the Chutes free theater will be changed and among the performers will be Rand and Buck, comedy acrobats; Del Monte, musical clown; Travelle, the shadow- grapber, and Robert Ellis, descriptive | singer. = Periormances are given every | afternoon and evenin, 2t s | Sutro Baths. Two consolation races, one for men and | one for boys, will be brought off at Sutro Baths this afternoon.

The Cordero sisters, | dancers; Hewitt, acrobat and equilibrist; Corpell and Empoy, character comedians, and Signor Leonardo, aerial artist, will perform. Musical Mention. The Walther-Hext recitals take place at Golden Gate Hall September 9, 10 and 11 Herr Walther comes highly recom- mended and indorsed by the best critics of the Old World. He is a violinist of the romantic school and is said to have a won- derful technique. Miss Hext, a reader who accompanies Walther, represen:s Shakespeare's most famous woman, cos- tumed in the most historic dress of the time. Professor Holu, who is also with the company, accompanies the violin work of ‘Walther. At the Oberon.

Dramatic Brevities. Walter Thomas 1s engaged to Hope Ross. Congratulations are in order. A comely couple! At Pacific Grove “curfew” rings every night 1t Is the signal that “kids” have to vacate the street and is known as the “hoodlum beil. There is no truth in tne Russell-Daly story. Mr. Daly would do himself proud if he could ¢aich tne handsome Lillian for his anemic orces. Miss Blanche Walsh is not returning with the Secret Service company from Londom, hfiving been detained there by hen mother’s iliness. Hall Caine’s dramatizatios of his new story, “The Christian,” has been performed for copy- right purposes at the Grand Theater, Douglas, Isle of Man. Cleo de Merode, whoit isclaimed was satis- fled with about $50 a montn in Paris, is to re- ceive three times tuat amounta week during ber engngement at Koster & Bial’s in the fail. Such is lack. Hope Ross, who succeeded Odette Tyler in the role of Caroline Mitford In “Secret Serv- ice,” has been engeged to play ingenue roles by Charles Frohmau this season. 1f actresses and others desire to come before the pub'ic prominently all they have to do 1s to announce that they propose Klondiking nextspring. Even the most suspicious copy- cutiing editors fail futo the trap. W. E. de Verns, who des'gned and con- structed the properties and scenic effects of the forthconiing spectacular production, “Na- ture,” at the Academy of Music, died recently from overwork, at his home in Brooklyn. The California Dramatic Club will givea grand production of “Lochinvar'” on Sunday evening, September 5, at Native Sons’ Hall. Miss Ruth Believille, a society belle, wiil meke her debut before the footlights oh that occasion. Edward Xavier Rolker, the lyric tenor, for- merly head of the vocal department of Schar- wenka Conservatory, New York, and Pierre Doullet, pian vill_give a joint recital at Sherman, Clay & Co.’s Hall, on the evening of September 8. An invitation concert will be given at Sher- man, Clay & Co.’s Hall, oa the evening of Sep- tember 25, on which occasion John 8. Raffael, the barytone, will be the soloist. The corce:t will be given under the auspices of Miss Alice Bacon and Giulio Minetti. A literary Bohemian is at work on a great naturalistic novel, says a French paper. “The marchioness,” he writes, “became as white as ashirt.” Glancing at that very moment at his own wristbands he 1s seized by a scruple, and adds, “Whiter even than a shirt.” David Belasco will remain 1 this City uatil the conclusion of “The Heart of Maryland” engagement at the Baldwin Theater. He is to return direct to N:w York to prepare for llile production of “The First Born” in that city, Stuart Robson will have his new play ready for production during his coming engagement at the Baldwin Theater. It is to be called “A Fool and His Friend,”” This is not to be the only fool that we are to meet this season, as Crane will show us ‘A Fool of Fortune.” “Whas the matter now ?” asked the lead- ing acior as the mavpazer tore a letter to shreds and stamoed his feet. “Matler? That performance of yours is so infernal bad tnat this person demands that his name be stricken from the free list.” W. M. Hanley has contracted with Samuel H. Fried.ander to play Robert Mauntell 1 San Francisco and other coast cities next spring. The Wesiern tour will commence at Omaha, April 7, and continue for filteen weeks. An English paper (The Referee) announces that, “lured on by the success of his London ventures,” Charles Frohmsh will produce a number of Amerlcan plays in London, “among them & new iarce sdapted by Dave Belasco, and the same writer's Chinesc play.”’ Such is fame! o Augustin Daly’s American company, with Ada Rehan as g ledy, will commence an Euaglish tour weastle-on-Tyne to-morrow. On Thursday Miss Rehan and compsny gave an open-eir performance of “As You Like It at what §s officiaily described s **3tratiord on the Avon River.” Charles Ulrich’s Chiuese play, “A Celestial Maiden,” now touring the cosst, is meetng with great success. 1t has been booked for two months anead, but it is likely to be pro. duced in this City before the expiration of that time. The interior critics are unani- mous in iis praise. Mrs. Madeline Lucette Ryley has written for Nut Goodwin a comedy based on the life and sdventures of Richard Savage. There has been more than oue play written around this unhappy poet «ud playwrizht. The last one produced wis the work of J. M. Barrie and F. Marrioti-Watson, and it was very successiully tried & few years ago at the Criterion, London. Sarah Bernhardt has now received the dra- matic version of “Hamlet” that is to be mounted at the Renaissance this scason. The authors have closely followed Shakespeare. On the bills it wiil appear as “The Tragic His tory of Hamlet, Piince of Denmark’ —which, itis asserted, was the original title used ai the first production end for the first printed edition. The English newspapers criticizethe English periormance of “Civil Service’’ un- favorabiy. The Morning Post says: “The charm of reticence and delicacy of treatment, due to the subordination of cne part to ant other, s© noticeabie in the American company, hus aimost eatirely vanished, and 1u 11s place we are given the glare of crudity and the noise that unhappily mar our native produc- tions.” Harry Mann, the manager of the Knicker- bockor Theater, has arranged with a firm of decorators to decorate the dressing-rooms of that theater in internatioasl co.ors for the engagement of- the English “in Town” eom- pany. Thisis a reiurn compliment to this company for the courtesies extended to the “Secret Service” company in London. The dressing-rooms of Mr. eite’s company at the Adeiphi Theater were decorated in a like manner. Professional pistol shots beware! The Judge of the Criminal Court, Berlin, has sent forsix monthe’ imprisonment the gentleman who considered himself the legitimate successor of Willinm Tell, and who some time ago, at a pubile garden near the German capita), killed his fiancee while trying to hit an apple placed on her head. The periormer pleaded that 1f he used a dummy for his business the public wowid find no excitement 1o it. The pubiic would be all the betier without exoite- ment of this sort, and the sentence will per- haps have the effcct of putting a siop to some of the periurmances that are made sensa- tional by the risk of human life. CHINESE SLAVERY. No Tracs of the Girl Taken ¥rom Spofford Alley Can Be Found, The case of Sing Fo and Ah Leong, charged with narboring & minor in a nouse of ill fame, was partly heard -in Judge Low's court yesterday and con- tinued till next Thursday afternoon. The girl was taken from & house on Spofford alley by the police ana placed in coarge of Miss Lake at the Methodist Mission on Washington street. She was subsequently removed from there by order of Judge Carroll Cook in pursuance of & writ of babeas corpus. Since then no trace of the girl can be found. Miss Lake, Mrs, Tuttle and Attorney Barclay Henley testified that the girl was about 15 years of age, and Atlorney Madden, who represenis the defendants, was put on the stand and testified that he had no knowledge of the girl’s where- abouts. As nothing more could be done, the case was continued till next Thurs- day. ————— Parrott & Co. Incoporated.

'MATOR WOULD APPOINT Should the Court Remove the Present Board of Su- pervisors. The Members Displaced Would Not Be Eligible to Hold Publio Cfiice Again, Should the present Supervisors be re- moved from office by judicial process the vacancies would be filled by appointment. Lawyers generally agree that the power to appoint rests with the Mayor. It is said thatin the event of the removal of the entire board, consisting of twelve Supervisors, the Mayor would appoint four of the daisplaced officers. Law- vers who have giver the statutes close atlention say that if ary Supervisor who bad been removed from office shou!d@ be appointed to serve again such appoint- ment would be void, as the law distinctly provides that one so removed shall there- after be ineligible to hold cffice. It is reasoned out by the lawyers that the proceedings to remove, as against four members of the board, mignt be dismissed and that number be permitted 1o remain undisturbed to perform official functions, such as voting on the confirmatiou of others appointed by the Mayorto fill va- cancies. The statute which gives ths Mayor power to fill vacancies by appoint- ment confers on the Board of Supervisors | the right to confirm. [ ‘The point is raised that four Supervisors sought to fix the water rates at the timo required by law for the establishment of such rates, but that their purpose to act in obedience to th- law was deleated by the conduct of eight other membars, who con- stituted a majority of the board. .
