L. ACKERMAN AS STAGE MANAGER Will Direct Afternoon Perform- ances Soon to Be Given at the Alcazar. Many of Henrik Ibsen’s Works Will Be Presented to the Society Folk of the City. | A series of afternoon performances will soon be given at the Alcazar Theater. The management states that it will be | a society event and bid for the intelli- gence and culture of the city. The plays given will be the works of Henrik Ibsen | and Maurice Maeterlinck, and, among others, “A Doll's House,” “Pillars of Soclety,” “Hedda Gabler,” ‘“Ghost Walks,” “The Intruder,” “The Blind” | and “The Seven Princesses” will be pre- | serited by the clever stock company Now | on the boards at the theater. | Ibsen’s plays are considered second only | to Shakespeare's, and as S. L. Ackerman | is to act as stage manager during the | performances in the afternoons, large | crowds will, without doubt, encourage the | new departure. The spirit of enterprise | exhibited by the management s buoyed up by the reason that they have the con- fidence of the public, and the time in which the performances will be given de- pends upon the reception accorded them. Mr. Ackerman, who will act as stage manager, is «_well-known soclety and club man, and has often assumed charge of the productions presented by amateur Mr. Ackerman vate theatricals in general, and as soclety | will_gather on the first night to witness | A Doll's House,” a continued success is looked for.

Delia T. Daggett, 51 Langton street, swore to a complaint for the arrest of Frank Dunn, which is an @ggravated case; John Dulucchi, 482 Francisco street, was the complaining witness against Francisco Paginini; Mary Me-| Donald, 47 Federal street, against Walter | McCoy: and S.

An- | other cartoon depicts Don Quixote Budd and his faithful squire, S8ancho Panza | Colnon off_to the war, bent on pulling | down the Spanish throne. Another car- | foon contains a suggestion for a new | | monument to be dedicated to the Mayor, | and another picturesauely depicts the bil’- | board nulsance.
