REDWOOD CITY, April 2.—In the Fitzgerald murder case Attorney Board- man for the defense closed his argument at 10 o'clock this morning. He was fol- lowed by the District Attorney, who for over an hour addressed the jury. Judge Lorrigan then gave lengthy instructions | and the jurymen retired. No verdict has Vet been reached. —_——— Threatened to Kill Her Neighbors. Mrs. Fannie Teagle, who resides on San Bruno road, was arrested vesterday aft- ernoon by Officer C. J. Joseph on a war- rant sworn to by Julia Roberts, a neigh- bor, charging her with assault with a deadly weapon. During a quarrel Mrs. Teagle, the complaint reads, pointed a shotgun at Mrs. Roberts and threatened to shoot her. “‘Cnptun Lettarblair” the New Bill | spite of the fact that the amp to light | @ IARD MRD VOKES INTRAMP DRANA MD AGED JOKES “The Floor-Walkers” Made Up of Gags Culled From Periodicals. —_— e e ol o o o ol o at the California—Successful At- tractions Elsewhere Are Having Good Runs. — “The Floor-Walkers" is not half bad—it s all bad I do not know what gave this excres- | ! cence its name, unless Messrs.

Miss Gussie Brosche, who appeared with rank Rae in a light skit. showed much cleverness in her performance on the | plano. Among the new and beautiful Orpheum. | faces is that of Miss Mildred Stoller, who | California having already begun to take | | the most_highly appreciated entertainers is possessed of a pleasing voice. One of is Digby Bell. His stories and songs kept | the audience in a roar of laughter. He | was regarded as a whole show in himself. Falke and Semon, musical comedians, | were cordially recelved. Among the dan- | cers Mile. Proto can be rated as decidedly clever. Another feature of the show is| Mlle. Marzella’s performing birds. The | efforts of Bellman and Moore to please | were successful. A. O. Duncan, the ven- | triloquist, contributed his share of amuse- ment. The last on the progranime, but by no means the least, were the Guitanos acrobats. They were excellent and the | entire audience remained quiet until the | curtain went down. i Tivol | “The Wizard of the Nile" entered upon | its second week in better shape than ever. | Ferris Hartman Is still funnier and inde- | fatigable in his efforts to keep the busi- | ness going without any lapses, He was | | ably assisted by Wheelan, Annie Mevyers, | Frances Graham and Helen Merrill.

The en- semble of the choruses was specially | praiseworthy, the wreath ballot being par- | ticularly charming, while the choral sing- ing left lttle to be desired.

Sinklewicz's “Quo Vadis,” with its many picturesque and strong situations, its flow- ing action, its turgid herolcs and its caric- ature of a tyrant, holds its own in the public heart with & sure grip. There was not a seat vacant in the Alcazar last night and the audience applauded a good deal at the heroic savings of the stage Chris- tians, and sniveled just a little bit in the melancholy passages. “Quo ‘Vadis' is an object lesson of the fact that melodrama | is one of the amiable weaknesses of | human nature. The Alcazar management | is glad that it is. It is running like wild- | fire and hasn't stopped yet. Petschnikoff and Hambourg.
