The Grau-Savage idea was a big one, but too big for present conditions, and after a brilliant flight the English Grand Opera Company was disbanded. Grace Van Studdiford was one of its chief reasons for existence. When it ceased to be Miss Van Studdiford stepped on the vaudeville stage, and now not dll the Grau ducats and all the Grau pull would take her away from the new field into which their withdrawal in a manner forced her. She is a Western girl, and has to her credit one of the swiftest trips to popular favor the New York stage ever saw. She is handsome, has a magnificent voice and plenty of dramatic ability, and knows how to make friends of her audi- | ences. Another crowded house greeted the Neills at the California last night in the | opening of the secpnd week of “Barbara | Frietchie.” This thrilling patriotic drama has caught on like wildfire with local theatergoers, and during the first week it was witnessed by the largest crowds in the history of the California. People were turned away at every per- formance last week, and on Saturday night more than 300 were standing up. Matinees will be given on Thursday and Saturday and the final performance on Saturday night. Anthony Hope's romantic drama “PHroso” will be the next produc- tion of the Neills, commencing next Sun- day night. of the war . “The Toymaker,” at the Tivoll, has struck & winning gait, and bids fair to R e e e e e MONSTER ENTERTAINMENT BY LOCAL LODGE OF ELKS | One of the Features Will Be Mam- moth March by Augmented Ballet. A monster entertainment will be given at the Alhambra Theater on Tuesday evening, May 28, the occasion being a ben- efit for the Elks’ Home. The associated managers have charge of the affair and those who remember how successful these | gentlemen have been in the providing of | unexcelled talent in previous entertain- | ments will await impatiently the coming of this event. The sale of seats will open at Sherman & Clay’'s music store on Wednesday, May 22. All of the theaters will contribute their best and the bill will be the strongest ever presented in this city. One of the features will be a mam- moth march by an augmented Tivoli bal- let. Lewis Morrison, the famous actor, will be the speaker of the day and Charles | Bryant will be stage manager. The honorary committee will include Morris Meyerfeldt Jr., Walter Morosco, Melville Marks, Aifred Ellinghouse, Selby *Oppenheimer. Fred Belasco, Joseph Gott- lob, Edward Levy, M. E.

The piece is a decided nov- elty in the comic opera line. The plot is unique and extremely funny, and the music is bright and sparkling.

SAN JOSE, May 19.—Because of a quar- rel and the idle taunt of her lover that he was a married man, Lola Whittle, a wait- ress, swallowed a dose of strychnine yes- terday and killed herself. The cause of her self-destruction was ascertained at the inquest to-day. For over a yvear the girl and Leonard | Campbell, a railroad man, had kept com- pany, and their affection had led to an engagement. Several _times the young people had quarrcled. When Miss Whittle was sent for by her father, who is a doc- tor in South America, she wanted Camp- { bell to accompany her. This he declined to do, and yesterday afternoon they quar- reled again. This time he is said to have | told her he was a married man and could have nothing more to do with her. She in- quired of several rersons if this was so, and recelving no definite answer went home and took the poison. A verdict was rendered that the girl died from an “over- | dose of strychnie taken while temporarily insane.” —e——————— Drowned in Lake Washington. | D. Andruss, a prominent dentist, was drowned this afternoon by the overturn- (ing of a boat on Lake Washington. He |was on a fishing trip with his brother. The body was recovered. The deceased was a veteran of the Eleventh Iowa Vol- {unteers and a native of Ohio. He was fifty-nine years old, and leaves a wife and six children. { | -5 week, will be produced. The theater will be tastefully decorated for the occasion. It is expected that there will be a largs attendance from the various lodges in this city, in addition to those who form the party engaging seats. « e e “The First Born,” which proved so pop- ular when first it was put on at the Al-| cazar, {s on the bill again for this week, to follow each evening a little playlet, “Gloriana.” . . Chinese melodrama will thrill audiences at the Grand through the medium of “A Queen of Chinatown,” in which a white mission teacher is abducted and rescued. o v . The .third annual Henry Miller season will be inaugurated to-night at the Co- lumbia Theater with a fine revival of the romantic drama ‘‘Heartsease,” a 1.7la,¥l of great %Xpu]anly in this city, in which Henry Miller has made a most pronounced impression by his excellent performance in the role of Eric Temple. The play is of the costume order, and the dressing of the various characters is quite picturesque and elaborate. Some unusually fine stage settings are promised. The play will be given every night this week. Matinees during the Miller season will be given on ‘Wednesdays and Saturdays. Among the principals of Mr., Miller's company this season is pretty Grace El- liston, who will be remembered here for her performance in the original produc- tion of “The Only Way.” In the various M:ller productions Miss Elliston wiil be cast for appearance in several roles espe- clelly adapted to her style of stage work. & e e Fischer’s has a number of new attrac- tions for the week, among them being Gladys Middleton and Carita, the girl con- jurer. = s . Several new vaudeville attractions have been introduced in the bill at the Olympia. e e e R 2 OO BULLET FROM A PISTOL ENDS THE CARD GAME Employes of m-(;il Company Near Bakersfield Quarrel and One Is Wounded. BAKERSFIELD, May 19—R. Grant Grimes shot Irving Bush in the neck this afternoon on the Kern River, seven miles from Bakersfield. Both men are employed by the Del Rey Oil Company, Bush's father being superintendent of the com- pany. With others, they were spending the day on Kern River. Bush and Grimes engaged in a game of cards and had a dispute over a play. Bush is said to have applied an opprobrious_epi- thet to Grimes, who pulled his pistol*and shot him. The wound dangerous. Grimes was arrested. —_————— “Jumps” His Bonds. L. V. Perhancs was arrested at 847 Pine street by Detective Dillon yesterday on a warrant from St. Helena, Napa County, and he will be taken'to St. Helena by Constable Spurr. Perhancs was convicted at St. Helena of a charge of petty larceny and was sentenced to pay a fine of $30 and to be imprisoned for ninety days. He gave notice of appeal and was released on 3250 bonds. He jumped his bonds, hence his arrest. Perhancs used to be a hotel- keeper near Santa Cruz. The police say he was accused, together with Attorney ‘Warren B. Josselyn, in swindling Nina Cardona, a nurse girl, out of $00 last year. Josselyn was arrested on the charge, but the case was dismissed by Judge Conlan. It was at the time alleged that Josselyn under promise of marriage got $250 and a gold watch from the girl and Perhancs got $400. is SEEka 10 HAE A WOMAN JAILED ‘W. Myrick Unjustly Ac- cuses a Waitress of Robbery. Charges Her With Stealing Watch and It Is' Found on Him. Slagals Had it not been for the thoughtfulness of Police Officer Skein a young woman named Belle Schneider, wrongfully ac- cused of grand larceny, would now be oc- cupying a cell in the City Prison. Saturday night Willlam Myrick, living 2t 231 Third street, visited a dance hall on Pacific street, intending to have a “good time,” as he expressed it. After buying liquid refreshments for the young wo- man he started to leave, when he discov- ered, as he thought, that his watch, chain and a diamond locket were gone. eeting Policeman Skein he told him of his sup- posed loss and accused the woman of hav- ing stolen his jewelry. Skein, thinking he was telling the truth, went to the dance hall and took the woman into custody. Accompanied by Myrick the officer took Miss Schneider ‘to_the Central Police Sta- tion and turned her over to Lieutenant Birdsall. Amid tears she declared that she knew nothing about the supposed dis- appearance of Myrick's property. Myrick was equally as emphatic in stating that she had robbed him and his story was corroborated by two friends who accom- panied him to the dance hall. To convince the lieutenant that he had been robbed Myrick turned his pockets h;xside out, but the watch did not materi- alize. As Myrick was clamoring_for the wo- man’s arrest Lieutenant Birdsall! was about to order her locked up when Police- man Skein, suspecting that the story of the robbery was untrue, started to thor- oughly search Myrick. Passing his hand down the trousers of his left leg he dis- covered the watch hidden in the man's stuckln% Myrick tried to appear sur- prised, but the attempt was a dismal fail- .~ Not content with finding the time- plece the officer added to the discomfiture of the woman’s accuser by fishing the chain and locket out of the right leg of' his trousers. Mpyrick, now thoroughly abashed, was ordered out of the station. The woman was at once released. SING IN THE CHORUS, THEN SEEK THEIR PAY Boys of Columbia Minstrel Company Looking for the Man Who Has the Money. There was an incipient riot at the box- office of the Alhambra Theater last night when the thirty chorus boys who have been singing with the Columbia Minstrels there for the last week or more called to get their pay. There was due to each boy $2.50, but they found the box-office locked | and dark and no one around to explain or to pay. A‘::Cgrdlng to the story of the boys they were hired on May 8 to open with the min- strels on May 11 and to sing in the chorus for four nights, or until the 14th. For this they were to get $1 apiece. When the 1ith came around the contract was extended to the night of the 18th and the wage was raised to $2, payable at the end of the per- formance on the night of the 18th. hen the 18th came around, however, another day was tacked on with two performances | and 50 cents was added to each boy’s sal- ary, which was payable after the perform- ance last night. The boys say they went around to the box-office last night and found only a man who swore at them. The company has finished its run at the Alhambra, but it will give a performance at the Odd Fel- lows’ Hall some time this week, and ths boys are going after the box receipts of that occasion. B — ‘Everybody’s Busines: In yesterday’s Chronicle there appeared an article in reference to the deal in shoes that I have made. WIill add that this is by all means the largest deal that was ever made at one time by any house in San Francisco. The shoe clerks, of which there are twenty, have been busy since last Thursday in placing the goods for the opening sale, and hope to be all ready b hursday. This large and valuable stocl will have to be disposed of within four weeks. I will therefore sacrifice this beau- tiful stock for 35 cents on every dollar's worth of goods. No one need be bashful to attend this sale. Take a pair of shoes home; if not satisfactory, come back and your money will be returned to you will- ingly. This shall be a genuine factory shoe sale, to take place at the Bee Hive Shoe Co., 717 Market street, near Third. H. Lesser, proprietor. by ———————— ‘ Park and Beach. It was cold and windy out by the beach yesterday. During the afternoon Senator McMillan and party visited the Cliff House and viewed the seal rocks and other attractions. Owing to the condition of the weather the crowds at the park and beach were small. There were no serious accidents reported. A. W. Young, who resides st the Winchester House, was knocked down by a “scorcher” and suffered a_painful laceration of the scalp. Thomas Flynn, a steamfitter, got mixed up in a fight at the beach and 'was taken to jail on a charge of battery. The crowd at the Chutes was as larze as usual. The visitors kept the ‘pleas- ure” wheel, which now seems to be the attraction, going all day. Following are the results of the con- tests at Sutro Baths: Fifty-yard race—H.
