The show is not up to the standard, and is evidently doomed to fill a place in the list of non-success ful productions that are occasionally brought here. Central. The melodramatic features of Sutton vane's play “The Cotton King” kept a large audience thrilled for five acts last evening at the Central Theater. In the good, old-fashioned plot vice, virtue, vil- Jainy and honor are mixed in generous proportions, and the actors drew cheers, tears and shouts of condemnation by n. ml?dwin T.

Mr. Hall annonnces that he will play all of | the regular attractions that come to San { Francisco and that he has already begun his bookings and will be ready to an- | nounce dates within a few days. | Mr. Hall's plans in detail cannot be an- nounced, but he says that he will operate the Macdonough Theater both in connec- tion with the theatrical syndicate's houses in San Francisco and the interior of the State. If he does this he can make a strong circuit that will inciude all of the principal towns in Cali- fornia outside of San Francisco and the dicate will have to deal with him. P.
