Herrmann the Third, who is doing his best 10 make the public forget the loss of his uncle, ofiers an entire change in the | bluck art bili at the Columbia for next week. Mme. Herrmann will aiso have | some new dances and costumes. The | managers of Mme. Herrmann declare that | she has no r.val as a speciacular dancer. They do not concede this proud yrivilege | even to Loie Fulier, who once cizimed an unrivaled position of ber own. Mune. Herrmann has originated some effects, notably in her iliusion of the fire dance, l which is said to be superior to ti Fuller a i the | . Yorke and | fire dance. And although Miss Fuller might claim that sheoriginated the dance itself that sort of argument carries no weizht with the Herrmann management. And Mme. Herrmann dances—there can be no question about that—and there is equally no question about the fact that Loi Fuller does not. The Herrmanns will be followed by *In Old Kentucky,” which is now in its fifth year of popu- larity, An elaborate proiuction is prom- ised by the Columbia, and the company is said to be a good one. Alcazar. “The Ugly Duckling,” the play on | which David Belasco and Paul Potter col- | laborated to introduce Mrs. Leslie Carter to the notice of the publie, will be revived atthe Alcazar during the coming week. About a year azo this thea'er gave the piece its first Pacific Coast production, and it bad thea a run of two weeks. The play is udveniaed as a ‘‘soclety character comedy drama,’”’ but it 1s as weil and rather more briefly described as parlor | melodrama, boasting the refined villainy of a foreign count, an attempted abduc- tion, a drugging scene and virtue tri umplmm in the last sct. The present | cast will include the Alcazar favorites, | Wright Huntington, who plavs Count anllealu Waliace Shaw as De Garby, | Charles Bates as Viscount Huntington, Fred Strone_as Professor Graydon, Miss Foster as Ka'e Graydon (the ugiy duck- ling), Mrs. Butesas Mrs. Garby and Miss | Crosvy us Hester Graydon. The name of Miss Poily Tupper is also mentioned in the notices a 1 young woman who renounces convent life at Fresno forthe | attraclions of a stage career in San Fran- cisco, and who will make ber debutin “The Ugly Duckiing.” The Tl\)oh | The Tivoli's “Geisha” continues to fill the hous: at every performance, Thers 1s | a promise from the management to put | on “Rip Van Winkle” some time between the close of the “Geisha” run and the ovening of the usual Christmas panto-' MRS.

It wasone of his earliest successes, made here on the Tivoli boards iwelve years ago, and its revival is, there- fore, atiended with particalar interest. ! Edwin Stevens has written ‘the book for the Christmas piece this year—. new ver- | <ion of *Mother Gose”—to heve its| usua! incidental music, and with the| present excellent organization at the | Tivoli the entertainment ought to be first class. Meantime the “Geisha” performances are running with delighuiul ease, and ihe T.voli hay never realiz:d a <reater suc than with this ghitering bit «f musical | nonsense. Miss Hall takes her responsi- | bilities more liguily, works less strenu- ously and accomplisiies more artisticall Leary is stili funny, and Stevens, presum- ably out of delerence to the disappointed, sings one song, ~*The Pearl of Asia,” and continucs to help the company along by the power of clev-r suzgestion. There 1s an ait in thissort of heipfuiness, and it 1s | an art which is Steve own whenever he cares to_exert it. Peop! who saw the | Daiy “Geisha” assert that tbe Tivol's| production e¢quals it in every respecr. However thac may be, San Francisce seems to be satisfisd with it. | Grand Opera-House. To-morrow night the company at the | Grand Opera-house will have an opportu- | nity for strong, sare, melodramatic act- |ing. The piece is De Mille's “*Los: Para- | dise,”’ which was originally introducea here by the Lyceum “I'nheater Company, | | | | BAT and afterward played on several occa- sions by the Frawleys. “The Lost Paradise’ is a melodrama in which the players have equal chances with the scenery. The story of the work- ingman's strike, with its toiling hero, aristocratic heroine and arrogant villain is just the sori that appesls to the patrons of Morosco’s. Pascoe has the vart of the young superintendent who finally weds the mill-owner’s daughter, and John T. Nicholson is cast for the proprietor of the mills. Lorena Atwood is to be the heroine, and the character and comedy parts of Nell, Cinders and Kata fall resp ctively to the | hands of Li.lian Atwood, Mamie Holden and Minnie Ferry. The haughty, blue- | blooded villain will be played by Morti- mer Snow. Knowliton’s man Fletcher by Landers S evens, and Schwarz, the ora- torical striker, by Fred J. Butler. An especial feature will be made of the scene of the biz steel works in operation. This scene really requires a depth of stage such as is only obtainabl: at the Grand. The Orpheum. The Orpheum will serve its patrons with six new acts this week. At the head of the list stands the first titled personage to tread the Orpheum staze—Countess von Hatzfeldt, who will give San Francisco a chance to judge the songs that are <aid to have made ber popular in Eastern houses. Mille. Leopotdina is the latest | European importation for the Orpheum circuit. She is famed all over Europe as an aerialist and her line of work is said to be quite out of the ordinary. A. L. Steele does a novel act in playing two cornets at the same time. A. C. Duncan, the -ven- tritoguist, is not only funny but clever. Tne Misses Cook and Clinton, sharp- | shooiers, are claimed to be tne zreatest ever seen here. W. J. Alexander, eccen- tric_musical comedian, has some new spet,mlne~ and of the oid bill Fry and | Ciark, the Farrells, Mile. Orbasany and the biograph remain. Thoe laiter will have a new set of scenes 1o present. The Chutes Theater. The entertainments g ven every after- TES, ALCAZAR. noon and evening at the Chutes Free Theater are attracting large audiences. The iocation is rather out of town, but the show is worth the trip. Beginning to-day the prozramme will inciude the Mar-| telles, trick bicyclists; the La More twin sisters, song and dance specialists. who recently returned from Dawson City; Conbon and Ryder, acrobatic comedians; Professor Maginel, saxophonist, and Mul lin -isters, cornetists, and the Chuteszope, which shows new nicmrnL Adgie and her lions are almost a permanent sensa- tion, and as an exira attraction George Lavigne, the champion light-weight pugil- ist of the world, will box three rounds with his broher this afternoon and even- ing.

Stark’s orchestral concerts are making the Oberon a favorite after-the-show cafe, The programms for to-morrow night will consist almost entirely ot the hghzer pop- ular pieces. Musical Mention. Severul musical effairs will share attention with the opera this week. At the Califor- nia to-nignt Mr. and Mrs. Henschel will sing an enticing farewell programme; on Tuesday night at tne Metrovnolitan Temple the Califor- nia Music Festival Society will commence its | with the last music festival, second season with a rendition of “Eijah,” with Mme. Genevra Johnstone-Bishop in the soprano arias, and on Wednesday afternoon and night at the same place the same society will give concert programmes of a miscel- laneous character. The Henschel season, from every point, has been one of the most delightful series of reci- tals ever given here. Mr. and Mrs. Henschel ure assured of a warm Welcome if ever they should come to this partof the world again. Out of our appreciation for their work, whicn is the superlative of its type, it is to be hoped they will find some good things to sayof a much maligned community. Following is the programme of their ‘‘farewell” at the Califor- nia Theater to-night: Duet from “Gi ina e Bernadone” ..... Cimarosa Mr. and . Henschel.

A committee of the San Francisco Symphony Society announces that Friiz Scheel has been secured by that society to conduct a series’ of twelve symphony concerts, to he given on al- ternate Thureday afternoons, commencing December 1 and ending on Muy 31. There wili be a meeting of all the st bers of (he society at the Sherman & Clay hall to-morrow at3:30 for the purpose of booming the season.
