STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 5.— A storm that bids fair to serlously Involve the leaders in football matters is gather- ing at Stanford University.

The leader of the discontented factlon is Captain Burnett, who is to lead the cardinal team through the season, and on whom more than any other man the outcome of next year's game depends. With him are the graduate coachers and a large part of the student body. They feel that Gildersleeve should have can- vassed the field more thoroughly before he made his choice.

I have been waiting patiently these two years for a local | production of ‘““Never Again,” which I have been describing as the funniest French farce that ever happened. It wds presented last night at the Al- cagar, and turned out to be the most humorous diversion we have had in many a moon. % The company handled the wild comedy with becoming extravagance, and there is little to criticize in their mad workman- ship. * “Never Again” is a stmple hurricane of | fun, and ‘the Alcazar company succeeded | in making it thoroughly mirthful. Con- trasted with the clever Frohman people, who grappled the characters with a.subtle understanding of comedy values, the work of our modest stock company can hardlK be called masterful, but what they lacl in finesse they make up in enthusiasm and the boisterous humor of the farce goes with a gallop. In the second act the action is cyclonic and the audlence shaky with laughter; every(hmg 1s gverdone and nobody cares; actors and audience join in the whoop-la and merriment carries the night. Ernest Hastings s given prominence and earps it in the part of Herr Katzen- jammer. He not onlg knows his part but, carries it off with admirable effect. The eccentric make-up and German ac- cent are tests of his fitness for character work and he manages both with surpris- ing cleverpess. Jeffrey Williams makes as much of his part as any one could, ex- cept E. M. Holland, whom he again imi- tates. He counterfeits the Holland voice and coples the Holland grimace and but for an abbreviation of Holland's- never- failing thoroughness in pantomime and by-play his fac simile would be perfect. Even without originality ‘Mr. Willfams {s clever and the Alcazar Company has a valuable member in one who can so cleverly mimic one of the character stars of the stage. The company works hard to ake “Never Again’” go and it succeeds, Yor it goes with a whirr_from beginning to end. PORTER GARNETT. Gfrmdioi;m-nouu. “The Girl from Paris” captivated a ‘large audience at the Grand Opera-house last night, and when the catchy songs become more familiar there will not be the same lack of encores as prevailed on the Initial presentation. It is justly called a “musical eccentricity,” and from the opening chorus to the finale there are songs, duets, quartets and concerted pleces innumerable. The most popular were the duet, “I'm All the Way_ from Gay Paree,” by ‘Edith Mason and Edwin Hanford, who made his first appearance and_created a most favorable impression as M. Augusta Pompier, a French spy; quartet, “‘Cock-a-doodle,” by Edith Ma- son, Bessie Fairbairn, Edwin Hanford and Arthur Wooley; song, “‘Sister Mary Jane's Top Note,” by Bella Hart; song, “The Girl from. Paris,” Edith Mason, and song, “Trust Me ‘With Your Heart Again,” Hattie Belle Ladd. .WilHam ‘Wolff as proprietor of the Spa Hotel, Ar- thur Wooley as Ehenezer Honeycomb, a “Shining Light"; Thomas H.

ASHS BITTERS A PLEASANT LAXATI NOT INTOXICATINC The second performance of Edwin C. Jepson’s melodrama, ‘Darkest Russia,” at the California Theater, drew a fairly ' large audlence last night. There was, however, no room to spare in the upper part of 'the house, from which issued rounds- of applause or storms of hisses, as the situations on the stage demanded. The company worked in harmony and the members received several hearty calls be- fore the curtain. On the afternoons of the 6th, 7th and 8th and evenings of the 12th, 13th and 14th the California Theater Wil present the much anticipated Wag- nerian concerts, in which such great art- ists as Mme.
