There is a. the Marshall ingenuity of build. the same sparkle in the dialogue, the samé tone and smart- ness in the story.

She invests the part with, a fresh, simple charm that is very attractive, there being both strength and delicacy in her work. Miss 1da Vernon is more than sufiicient for the role of Lady Harburgh, and the rest of the cast is fully up to the requirements. Here are a few Marshallisms from the dialogue, out of the many. Miss Man- nering to Major Bingham, who is expa- tiating: with ‘unusual ecloquence on the joy of warfare: ““Fhen you have been in active service?” “Not—exactly— But I take in all the illustrated papers.” Of a bitter medicine that falls to the lot of a returned warrior:” “It tastes like materialized morality.” Major Bingham explains. his indifference to the death of a mythical relative who is supposed to have left him a fortune. “It was my aunt Geraldine, a very dis- tant aunt—twice removed, once by mar- riage and once by divorce. 3 But the play is ane to see, and it should beé sald is staged as handsomely as it is costumed—if anything could quite come up to that scariet and gold elegance. California. It was James Neill's and the public's bad | luck that the rain fell yesterday aft- ernoon and evening with a quiet . per- sistency that forshadowed an all-night downpour, for it dampened the ardor of theater-goers and deprived many people of the pleasure of seeing ‘“‘Aristocracy’ well played in all its lights and shades of satire and its mock morality, thinly gild- ed. The thoroughness with whica the actors” did the: work entrusted to them was attested by the hearty applause that greeted the fall of the curtain at the ciose of each act and by the breathless interest of the audience from the beginning to the end of the performance. the most flatter- | ing tribute that could be pald to-any play or any company. Alcazar. Farce comedy took the place of rural drama at.the Alcazar. Theater last. night and the change was more suited to the clever stock company.

An alleged comedy called* “Reilly’ and the 400" attracted a fair-sized audience to the Grand Opera-house last night. The | major part of those present: went home | in relays before the close of the perform- | ance. If the play has a plot or a thread of connection running between any two of the supposedly humorous features in the three painfully protracted acts the author has cancealed them with rigorous tare. The language and rendition of the. so- styled comedy extends at times beyond the borders of the unrefined and touches on the vulgar. - Occasionally some one in the audience would laugh spasmodically ! for reasons intelligible to himself only. A few people in the more elevated portions of the theater applauded mildly once. or twice.. Outside of these sporadic. cases the play was received.in gloomy .silence. To help along the spirit of the occasion the curtain fell prematurely -during the last act, and when it finally did‘descend } per order it was gencrally surmised, that | 4 sixth performance of “Fiddle Dee Dee | and.love that is bound to plea ‘are ‘ pre- |/ | tended the order came not according to the plans of the author, but on account of the be- ginning of an extensive exodus on the part of the andience.

It gained as many hearty laughs last evening as it did on the opening night, si veeks ago, and many sociéty people were present, as usual. The run is unprece- dented inthis city.

Sixty prominent | citizens of the State were invited to mect | Governor Odell and the entire party was | seated at one table. The decorations for the banquet were | most elaborate. At the end of the dining room.a scene representing a view of Southern California was depicted, ,while |in the center of the room a trunk of a tree was arranged, with an cagle’s nesing built on it. President Harriman, as toastmaster, es- tablished himself on a more friendly foot- ing. He opened the banquet in a short but clever speech, introducing Governor Odell to the assembled guests. Governor Odell ilustrated the fact that he was a good after-dinner speaker. In his remarks he expiained that Scate and municipal politics must be run on a bus- iness basis. He iltustrated his remarks b showing that the last Legislature of New York State was. the shortest sessiun |in the last 100 years. He conciuded ‘his speech by paying a glowing tribute to Cal- irornia nespitanty Governor Gage followed with a sp: in which he said he felt proud that Gov- | ernor_Odell had paid a visit to Califor- | nia and that he felt sure that great ben- efit to the Pacific ast woutd follow ch a_distingu * .
