Kilgo as a popu- lar-priced theater. Mr. Holden, who has been absent for the past six weeks in New York, returns this evening with a complete stock dramatic com- pany, which he has engaged there. It HENRY MacDONALD, includes Laura Alberta, one of the best- known leading actresses in this coun- try; Florence Rossland, a very clever soubrette; DeWitt Clinton, a handsome young romantic leading actor, who en- oys a very enviable reputation in the East; Joseph L. Tracy and William T. Doyle, excellent exponents of heavy and character roles, and Charles Swain, who will be remembered as the most popular low comedian Morosco ever had. During his three years of absence Mr. Swain has greatly distinguished himself, especially in New York, where he made a very great hit in “The Geisha” at Daly’s Theater. For the opening a new patriotic naval drama, entllled “Dewey; or the Hero of Ma- nila,” will be produced. It is meeting with great success in the ‘East and the management promise it a very elabor- ate and complete production. —ee—- Mrs. Birmingham, San Francisco’s popular contralto, who has been pursuing vocal studies in Paris and London under the tuition of Bouhy and George Henshel, has returned to San Francisco. Mrs. Birmingham possessed 8o rare a voice when she left here that much is expected of her. Those who have heard her since her return are most enthusiastic over the improvement she has made, both in voice and interpretation, and her friends are awaiting with interest her two song recitals which are announced for Thursday evening.
