AT THE coLums S !

His make-up follows the idea of the character as drawn by Du Maurier, and is one of intense weirdness. Mr. Roberts brings to his aid all the re- sources of his art and, it is said, gives a remarkably clever and impressive pre- sentment of this complex and _peculiar character. It 1s promised that the “Trilby” of the play will be as nearly ideal as is ))Dssigle to make it on_the stage. The part is to be played by Miss Karra Kenwyn, who has been igecially engaged by Mr. Frawley. Miss Kenwyn is tall and handsome and the moid of her features will find decided approval in the picture she will present as the model. Edward M. Bell will be well cast as the Laird, and John T. Burke should make a particularly proper Taffy. The impor- tant part of Madame Vinard will be in- trusted to Eleanor Carey. Others in the cast will be Louis Payne, Charles Char- ters, Bdward G. Conway, Frederick Tjader, Robert G. stone, Adora Andrews, Effie Bond, Flora Bristol and the debutante from BSacra- mento, Miss Eva Dennison. A feature of the Frawley production of “Trilby” will be the artistic stage set- tings, especially the studio scene, which will be a veritable corner from Bohemia in Paris. new specialties at the Chutes and OL pia. = The Golumbia. The interest taken in the coming revival of “Trilby” at the Columbia shows that the famous play has not lost its attrac- tive powers, and indicates that the enter- rise will be a success. It whs presented ere three years ago by the Palmer com- The Tivoli. The third week of the successful grand opera season at the Tivoll will be devoted to an artistic production of Richard Wag- ner’s master creation, ‘‘Lohengrin.’” Stage Director George Lask promises all the requisites of scenery and costumes to make the material part of the beautiful opera accurate in detail, while the casts of the leading roles guarantee a delight- ful interpretation of the harmgnic and mystic opera. work. Marie Brandis and Anna Licbter will alternate as Elsa of Brabant, and on two_occasions Frl. Brandis will sing Or- trud, the designing wife of Telramund; Mary Linck will be the Ortrud, a part in which she made one of her greatest successes; Sig. Edgardo Zerni and Rhys Thomas will be the Knights of the Holy Grall; Sig. Maurice de Vries and Willlam Pruette as Frederick of Telramund; Sig. Wanrell and Willlam Schuster as Henry I, King of Germany, and W. H. West as the Royal Herald. A fine chorus and aug- mented orchestra will lend yaluable ald. Ponchielli's romantic grand opera, ‘ia Gioconda,” will be sung in the fourth week, after which “Rigoletto,” “Don Gio- vanni,” “Romeo and Jullet” and “La Bo- heme” will be heard. A novel feature of this season is the “special Saturday mati- nee, for ladles, out-of-town music lovers and the younger generation of music Jovers.” Seats are now on sale for the en- tire week. The Alcazar. «“Camille,”” which has been producing fat box office recelpts at the Alcazar during the week, will be succeeded by a very at- tractive offering of good things beginning to-morrow night. They will include “Faust” on Monday and Tuesday even- ings, “The Master of Ceremonies’” on Wednesday, ‘Frederick the Great” on Thursday and Friday, and “Yorick's Love” on Saturday and Sunday evenings. The object in producing this quadruple bill is to afford those who were unable (o gee the former performances a last op- portunity to attend. Each will be glven the same careful production which marked the former presentation. Next week Mr. Morrison will put on ‘“The Mer- chant of Venice' and make his debut as Shylock. In elaboration and perfection of detail it is to be an “Irving produc- tion.” This is expected to be the banner week of the Morrison engagement, which is now fast drawing to a close. Morosco's. At Morosco’'s Grand Opera-house “Work and Wages'' will be the attraction for the coming week. It is a five act melodrama of the sturdy old style, some- what on the lines of “The Lost Paradise.” The scenes are laid in England in and around a modern steel works, and in- clude a vivid reproduction of the interior of the factory with machinery in opera- tion, an_explosion, etc.. The fourth act shows the tenements of the slums of London, the poverty and wretchedness thereof, and finally the murder of a woman, of which the hero is accused. There is a concentration of the tragic in the last act. t is a courtroom scene. The murderer is convicted and he gives a sensational finish to the actfon by com- mitting suicide in the prisoner's doc! fore the Judge can sentence him to hang. The motive of the play is to show tha ossibilities and benefits of co-operation etween employer and employe, and the roduction is said to be highly engross- ng. The leading character will be played by Max von Mitzell, who has recently joined the stock compan This will be ihe last appearance this season of Maude Edna Hall, who goes East. Lorena At- wood, a rrom!slnz young artiste, wiil have a prominent role. H. G. Hockey, the clever character comedian of the Hockey- Wheeler Company, has been specially en- aged, as has also the dainty soubrette, Marion Hockey. E. J. Holden, H. J. Ed- wards, James Corrigan and Nellie Camp- bell are the other specially engaged ad- ditions to the regular stock company, making a strong cast. It is the intention of the management to keep up the stand- ard of excellence that has of late speclaily marked the productions. The Orpl\(;u m. For the coming week the Orpheum an- nounces four new features aside from the hold-over stars. The most notable event will be the appearance of Mme. Tavary. who has been seen here only in grand opera. She has a world-wide reputation, and will be heard in several choice op- eratic selections. Other new features on the bill are Bon- nie Thornton, one of the most popular the vaudeville “TIVOLI GRAND 3 OPERA pany, which included some of the cre- ato: of the original roles.

The Macarte sis- ters will put on an entirely new act, in which they introduce a serpentine dance on the wire. Matinees Wednesday, Sat- urday and Sunday. Reopening of the Baldwin. The date for the reopening of the Bald- win, 15 fast approaching, and much inter- est is being taken in the event, by reason of the fact that some of the most recent Hastern and London successes are to be resented. Among the list are three of ‘harles Frohman’s prize winners, with Maude Adams in “The Little Minister” i and Willlam Giilette in the success of two continents, “Secret Service.” Mr. Miller will be the opening attraction of the theater, and Frohman has certainly sur- rounded him with a fine list of players, for in his support will appear Arthur El- liott, Augustus Cook, Charles B. Welles, C. Leslie Allen, Earl Browne, George Heath, Harq Spear, James A. Leahy, Leo Lane, Mabel Bert, Margaret Dale, Laura Clement and Elien Mortimer. The lays to be presented are all new here. The first week will be devoted to Heartsease,” a pretty romantic comed from the pens of Charles Klein and J. L C. Clarke. Its run of over one hundred | nights at the Garden Theater, New York, | was one long serles of crowded houses, and the new star followed it last year | with the bill for his second week, ‘“The | Master,” and his inaugural triumph, it 1 | said, was more than duplicated. ‘A Mar- | riage of Convenience” is to be the bill for | the third week of the season. | - The reapening will accur on the 22d inst. | At the close of Mr. Miller's season Mme. | Modjeska will appear In a Series of her | best productions. | New Gomedy Theater. | Manager M. B. Leavitt announces for the opening of his New Comedy Theater (formerly the Bush) Mrs. Romualdo Pa- checo’s Ideal Comedy Company. This well-known authoress andplaywright will present for the first time on any stage her.new and original comedies by an ex- | cellent company. The company consists | of several well-known players, and will come direct to this city, opening on the | evening of September 3. The work of | Mrs. Romualdo Pacheco as a playwright will be remembered by her first presenta- tion in this city of her amusing comedy, “Incog,” which met with great success at this theater some five years ago. Mrs, Pacheco’s plays will be presented with new scenery and effects. The one selected }EO open_the new house is, “The Leading Man.” Following this will be seen “Amer- ican Assurance,” “Woman's Wit” and 10,000 Reward.” The New Comedy Theater is nowunder- | going thorough renovation and several new features will be introduced that will be a comfort to its patrons. The interior will be in_rich ivory and gold, with new scenery, drop curtain,Sdraperies, carpet- ing and a most novel electrical display. 1 Ghutes and Zoo. | The Chutes free theater is looming up | tn amusement eircles, and the uniformly | good entertainments always provided at | the Haight-street grounds serve to at- | tract large crowds. Next week Edwin R. | Lang, the “poetical tramp,” will make his first appearance in San Francisco. He |is an accepted favorite at Tony Pastor's |in New York thirty weeks in the year, | and his talk and songs should be interest- ing. EIl Nino Eddy does a bounding wire act sald to be out of the ordinaryand Bell | and Dalton, German knockabout ecome- | dfans, will indulge in Teutomic acrobatic | eccentricities. Douglass and Ford are as | clever exponents of the modern song and | dance as have been seen here in.many | a year, and Mr. Douglass will do new toe steps, while Miss Ford pirouettes. Mack, who has made a hit, will change his monologue and songs, and Ma- son and Reed, the comedy horizontal bar performers, will repeat their act, ““The | "ramp and the Section Boss.” Twelve new moving pictures, direct from Europ: will be shown, and the London Fire D partment in active operation will be re: tained. In the Zoo, Sultana and her three baby llons are demanding great attention, >allh0ugh a huge alligator from Tampa threatens to monopolize the interest. Henri Maurice Cannon, the lonized fat man, receives visitors every afternoon and evening. | The Olympia. | The Olympia Music Hall has a partic- | ularly meritorious attraction in the Royal | Tokio acrobatic wonders, who are cred- | ited with doing some of the most clever balancing, juggling and acrobatic®feats ever performed by a Japanese troupe. | Other features of the bill are Darrell and Miller, in_songs, dances and witty dla- logue; Mdud Rockwell in new patriotic songs; the Royce sisters, a dancing duo of pretty girls; Anita Lamont {n coon spe- cialties and others.
