Th that | t year at the Columbia Thea- | ter may remember that there was one good actor among the many bad ones | who then strutted their little hour upon | the stage. That actor was Mr. Mason Mitchell, whom it was a pleasure to sze last night worthily enacting a worthy part— that of Cyssius. As to Mr: Cum- mings (Brutus), #hat gentleman was evi- | dentiy suffering from a bad cold, which | made it impossible for him to do justice to his lines. His action was dignified and appropriate. Mr. Robert Scott played | Caesar excellently, making as much of a success as was possible out of a char- acter of which the author has confessed- ly made a failure. | never seen except as Spartacus; | tony he was a pleasant surprise. There is a tender side to ' that highly _dis- reputable ward politician, man-about- town, captain of horse and master of rhetoric, which Shakespeare has indicat- ed clearly enough, but which neither Mr. | Bangs nor Mr. Warde has seemed to per- cefve or to bring.sut. Mr. Downing's rendition, in this respect, is superior to that of either of the actors named—what they fail to do he does and does well. | The staging of the play is always satl: faetory and sometimes, as in act 2, really | beautiful. A realistic mob and fairly played minor parts add to the interest of the performance. Considering the smali | price charged, censorship may properly hide its diminished head, being glad to | confess that there is much to praise and little to blame. L. DU PONT SYLE LB I Hricts Orpheum. Another “best ever” is the record of the Orpheum this week, with a varied and ex- cellent bill. Leading the interest is Frau- cesca Redding and her company in one of Will Cressy's sketches entitied “Her Friend From Texas,” a laughable one-act farce. Miss Redding as the willful widow | is amply entertaining and Arthur Larkin does a clever sketch of the newly fledged soclety youth. Horace Goldin, illusionist, does one of the neatest conjuring acts we have seen here for some time, capably as- | sisted_by Jean Fransidi and company. Nice Barbareschi and Vittorio Castellano, late of the Azzali and Tivoli grand opera companies, are well received in some se- lections from grand opera—which possibiy | might be better chosen. Miss Barbareschi | sings charmingly and Castellano’s high rvote brought down ihe house. Tschern- | off’s dogs are amony the hold-overs and | | are greater favorites than ever. Josephine | Gassmann and her pickaninnies are in their last succeasiul week; -George H. Wood, with a budget of new songs and stories, was warmly welcomed; Prevost | and Prevost, with ‘the clever acrobatic “Fiun in a Turkish Bath” re- peated their last weck's success, and Hal Stephens does some clever original sketches of Irving, Jefferson, Sousa and other famous folk. Altogether the bill iz way above high-water mark and drew a house to fit the interes Grand Opera-Houss. | “East Lynne” played admirably by Florence Stone, supported by John Web- ster Jr. and an exceptionally strong com- pany, began a week's engagement last night at the Grand Opera-house. The re- vival of this interestingiplay was most cordially received. Miss Stone in the dual roles of Lady Isabcl and Mme. Vine is a clever emotional actress and Mr. Webster |1s good as Sir Francis Levison. Other play you need at least | Mr. Downing I hal{ “JULIUS CAESAR” WELL PLAYED AT CENTRAL Splendid Bill at the Orpheum, “East Lynne” at the Grand Opera-House and “Oh, Susannah!” at the Alcazar \ | members of the cast who performed cred- tably are Frederick Hartey, T. J. Mc- Grane,* George Blocmquest, Nona Car- rington and Miss McNeill. Columbia. | “More Than Queen,” with its gorgeous | stage pictures and elaborate mountings, is in its second and lasc week at the Colum- bia. Blanche Walsh as the imperial Jose- phine continues to please and large audi- ences testify to the pleasure her imper- sonation affords. Alcazar. The farce comedy, “Oh Susannah,” was revived at the Alcazar Theater last night to a crowded house and the laughter was almost incessant. It is something of the style of ‘“‘Charley’s Aunt,” but not so cleverly worked out. The central figure in the play is Aurora, the “slavey,” who is secretly consumed with passion for Dr. John Shephard, and Miss Georgis Woodthorpe, who piayed the part on 1ts previous presentation, repeated the un- qualified success she achieved last sea- son. The piece without her would ve meaningless and she most creditably fills the bill. Next in importance is fhe aunt, Miss Susannah Shephard, and Miss Mar- as An- | garet Marshall was as effective as before in the part. Joseph Kilgour as Dr. Shep- hard, Edwin T. Emery as Andrew Merry. Howard Scott as Waverly Vane, Charles A. Smily as Mr. Plant and Frank Bacoa &s Tupper, all helped in making the piece a success. Miss Lila Convere as Flora was as charming as she always is and Miss Georgia Cooper and Miss Agnes | Ranken were well matched as the ‘“pre- clous jewels.” Miss Cooper is now a reg- ular member of this admirable stock company and_she will prove a valuable acquisition. New week “The Conquer- ors,” a romantic play, will be produced. Tivoli. Analysis of the causes of the big busi- ness attending the' production of “The Idol's Eye” at the Tivoli is perhaps futile; the people fancy it, and that is enough to insure success. = That the music is catchy is beyond question, for people leave the theater humming the air of “Fairy Tales” and other numbers. The dialogue and situa- tions are funny, for the people laugh. But | there is something more in the picce than | a mere blending of music and wit and that is the way in which one situation is dove- ailed into another. One complication ollows another with remarkable rapidity, | but there is a bearing, a connection, in short there is a plot, which many of the musical pleces of the day lack. Then there is the Occidental dress in the Orien- tal surrounding, which is another factor that aids to popularize the production, The whole thing is farcically breezy, and there you are. The house is filled to overflowing nightly. Hartman and Whee- lan keep up to the mark as entertainers and are assisted in the comedy by Webb and Cunningham. The ladies in the cast have less to do than the male membeérs, but Annfe Myers, Maude Williams and Bernice Holmes sing their respective roles conscientiously. Oalifornia. A large audience met Neil Burgess a: the California last evening and attended the various happenings in “The County Fair” very happily. The success of the opening evening was repeated and th. people present laughed through the great. er part of it all. Neil Burgess was in his happlest mood as Abigall Prue. Fentol was a droll Otis Tucker and Sallie Green- away, Blanche Rice and the others in the cast carried the story along very cleverly. Of course the scenic feature of the pe formance was the race, which, often re- peated, still brings down the house. Crowded houses bid fair to be the rule while Burgess is at the California. ——— We have three kinds of people in t world; the wills, the won‘tsp and tg: can’ts. RECALL DAYS OF DARTMOUTH William J. Tucker Guest of Honor at an Alumni Banquet. — Advantage was taken of the fourteenth annual banquet of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of this coast to honor Presi- dent William Jewett Tucker of Dartmouth College. He was given the place at the right hand of the president, Thomas Flint Jr., and at the head of a prettily decorated table laid in the banquet hall of the Pal- ace Hotel last evening, and when called on to speak he was given an enthusiastic round of applause.

Streeter, trustee of Dartmouth, on ‘““The Modern College Trustee’’; Professor Charles M. Gayley on “The Saving Quality,” and by three uni- versity presidents present, Dr. Tucker, Dr. Wheeler and Dr. Jordan. Fresident Tucker spoke on *“The Recon- struction of Historic Colleges.” He told of the aims and efforts of Dartmouth to keep up with the times and to antleipate the needs of the future so as to train its students_to meet conditions that are to me President Wheeler spoke of the “small” college and the more effective work it did as a result of the closer rela- tionship between the professor and the student.

Owing to the illness of Juror Hanson the trial of Robert E. Glaze, on a charge of having murdered his partner, William Trewhella, at the Windsor Hotel, on Jan- uary 14 last, was stopped vesterday morn- ing in Judge Dunne’s court. Er. William Hummelsbach testified un- der oath that Hanson was in bed and un- able to leave his apartment and was threatened with pneumonia. The doctor stated that it would be dangerbus for Hanson to leave his room, and Judge Dunne had no_alternative but to adjourn the hearing of the case until to-morrow at 10 a. m., when it is expected that Han- son will be sufficiently recovered to attend the trial.

The storm was onme of exceptional vio- lence, and bm‘fi in an exposed situation the Anna’'s anchor dragged and she was cast on the beach. ‘The crew with difficulty escaped to land and made the best of their way across the island to the Czarina. They were taken aboard and worked with the crew of the sister ship during the remainder of the season. The Anna and her half-cargo were an entire loss. —_———— Are You a Buffalo?
