It didn't seem as room even for the pro- in tne little opera- | usual big | gown, to greet though there was | verbial *‘one more” | house, and certainly nothing short of a | Pinole powder mill could have held more noise. There were flowers b¥ the armful; wreaths for the blushing conductor— whose head is still not sufficiently exten- sive to fit the laurels placed upon it by one enthusiastic admirer—and wreaths to go round; with baskets and bouquets that these Latin children flung back in sheer pleasure at their welcome to their de- lighted auditors. A Tivoll audience itself is worth the price (when it doesn’t smoke) and last night's was a typical one. About the smoking, by the way, something should be done. By the end of the fourth act there was a thick blue haze over things that certainly did not rise from old Nile, and an atmosphere the reverse of conduc— |ive to the vocal health of the singers. | Those placards will have to go up agai Mr. Leahy?—though ome would hardly | imagine the need of printed etiquette to | dictate the abstention. | “A performance like last night's cer- tainly needs no blush. In many respects | it was the best opening night and ‘Aida’ that the Tivoli has had, with an Alda that is much the finest within recent Tiv- oli experience. And the cast throughout was notably eflicient, the chorus and or- chestral work were well rehearsed and whole opera going with unusual spirit smoothness. Ines de Frate, the new dramatic so- prano, is many times admirable. She is neither handsome nor young—if her makeup does not belie her, which it very | readily may, it's bad enough!—and with | a costume warranted | beauty of an Eames, though it is not so | “oft” "as was Nordica’'s in the part. But the costume is forgotten, the makeup is | forgiven, and the memories of younger ana more beautiful Aidas fade when De Frate begins her song. | Even the gap between her tawny gloves and browner sleeves is no longer remem- | bered when the singer opens her mouth, for she is an artist to her finger tips. It is a_clear liquid voice of wide range and marked even quality that Miss de Frate sses, capable of being saturated with y shade of emotion and schooled into admirable control. Her shading is truly remarkable, every nuance being felt and rendered with exquisite sympathy. She has the voice, with large tempera- mental gifts, and marked dramatic power and is altogether a most welcome addi- tion to the long list of Tivoli lights who have before delighted us. With Pietro | Venerandi (the Radames) in the famous duet, “Pur ti reveggo,” Miss de Frate re- ceived an ovation. Venerandi is another artist whd is go- ing to prove one of the best of the com- ing season. He has a virile, resonant and sympathetic voice, and is thoroughly master of its resources. The tenor was very evidently nervous last night, but soon took hold of himself and gave an admirably spirited performance of the Radames role. His intonation is delight- fully safe. The Amonasso of the cast was De Pa- Ido\‘a, who, though good, does not, by a shade, quite fulfill expectations. He was last night a little off key occasionally, but is the possessor of a valuable vibrant | voice that it i$ quite probable will be heard with greater satisfaction late | Bave a virile sketch of the captive Ki role. - | Lado was the Ramphis, and as round | and smooth of voice and artistic of meth- od as ever. He is a noble figure. The King was rather an abject sort of person, both vocally and physically, in Pilade de Paoli’s hands. Discourteously last, but not least, is Marie Pozzi, the new contralto, who sang Very nervous was Miss Pozzi to begin with, but later showed a very sweet and rich voice, of good quality and range. It is a little uncertain in its control, but as it improved steadily during the evening is probably much finer than its expression last night. Miss Pozzi's last scene was particularly effective. The stage pictures were unusually handsome. To-night will be heard the second half of the new company {n “Lucia.” Columbia.

There is a charm in the play that keeps the attention of the audi- ence riveted upon the players from be- !lnnlng to end and the wonderfully thrill- ing and emotional climax is watched with breathless interest and with wet eyelids. No_wonder the pent-up feelings of the audience give way to enthusiastic _ap- plause, again and again renewed. Miss Anglin and Mr. Miller are splendidly cast as Mabel Vaughan, the society flirt, and Sir Harry Milanor, respectively. Charles Walcott as Joseph Trevor, Sir Harry's uncle, got a hand several times for_ his blunt and worldly counsel, and Mrs. Thomas Whiffen as Sir Harry's mother also received speclal applause from the audience. The other parts are admirably filled by this exceptionally talented com- pany. Alcazar. “Camille,” with Florence Roberts and ‘White Whittlesey in the leading roles, filled the Alcazar to overflowing last night, the ladies outnumbering the gentle- men rhore than three to one. In the capable hands of Miss Roberts, Camille was sympathized with and wept over from orchestra to ‘gallery. So thoroughly did Miss Roberts identify herself with the part that the slow muslc in the pathetic passages seemed altogether unnecessary. e skill of the actress sufficed to move the hearts of the spectators without any extraneous aid. Mr. Whittlesey is better in Armand Duval than in any other part he has played this season. He is earnest and intense and the applause was divided between himself and Miss Roberts. 1In the little that he had to do that sterling actor, George Osbourne, showed true art in the character of Monsieur Duval. Grand Opera-House. “Uncle Tom's Cabin’ was produced in the orthodox style at the Grand Opera- house last evening. Possibly the blood- hounds were a little refractory and the river scene failed of being very realistic, while there was less of the negro jublle singing feature than might have been en- dured, but with all this.the audience was kept alternately tearful or laughing dur- ing the performance, which is,’ after all, the true test of *‘Uncle Tom.” Lackaye did a good turn with Uncle Tom and Theodore Roberts was Legree to the ech'o. Cashman had them laughing with Marks whenever he was on the stage. Crane carried the day with his pistol and brave words as George Harris, while Durfield was not a bad Phineas Fletcher. Alice Johnson realized all that was expected of her as Eliza Harrls. Topsys ever seen here was that of Ada Lewis. Orpheum. There are any number of turns at the Orpheum this week capable of filling the position of head-liners. Stephen Grattan and Maud White are presenting in “Locked Out at 3 a. m.” the prettiest little skit that has been seen here in some time. They are as clever as any people the Orpheum circuit has ever pro- vided. Yorke and Adams, the yiddishers, are more popular than ever, their dia- logue this week being extremely ridicu- lous, but very amusing. The Mazettis l are wonderful acrobats, who do a turn that for skill, grace and daring is seldom equaled.

On the foliowing Monday J. Leo Park, secretary of the board, received a telegram purporting to have come from White at St. Helena. It read, “Wife dan- gerously ill; cannot come to-day.”” Upon the receipt of the telegram Park wired an answer, telling White to stay with his sick wife as long as it was necessary for him to do so. In the meantime, however, White's failure to report for duty resulted in the unearthing of several peculiar methods he had of handling the pubiic funds, and a hasty investigation furnished the members of the Board of Public Works sufticlent grounds to warrant his suspension and commence a complete ex- amipation of his accounts. SHORTAGE IS DISCOVERED. From the cursory examination already made, Secretary Park has no hesitancy in ury. That is the exient of the informa- tion Park or any of the rest of the mem- bers of the Board of Public Works will give out concerning White's alleged short- age. The official mvestigation will com- mence this morning, when Cyril Williams, the expert of the Board of Supervisors, will commence to check up White's ac counts. White has been employed as cashier of the Board of Public Works since the spring of 1900, and until recently his ac- counts were never questioned. He made to a private sanitarium at St. | | Robertson fol cruelt stating that White has collected and given | receipts for large sums of money which never found their way into the city treas- a dally report of his cash transactions to | Secretary Park and not a breath of sus- picion that there was anything wrong | with his accounts was ever wafted in his | direction until Auditor Harry Baehr | called White into his office on July 10 to | explain an overdraft of $2269 63 in what is | known as the tearing up streets account. | ‘White at that time told the Auditor that the overdraft was evidently the resuit of a clerical error on the part of some of the clerks in the office of the Board of Public Works, and he confidently invited the Auditor to send one. of his deputies over into his office to check up his .ac- counts. Deputy Dan Leary was accordingly sent over to the office of the Board of Public Works to assist White in checking up the accounts with a view to locating the overdraft. White's cash account in the tearing up streets fund was found correct, and all the money which he had received and re- | ceipted for in the regulation way had been | deposited in the treasury. time White left the_city, was_ absent from duty Secretary Park conducted a quiet investigation which brought to light, according to his story, a In the mean- | and while he | systematic method which White had of | appropriating public money to his own | use and still be able to keep his office ac- | counts seemingly straight. | When master plumbers or property own- | | ers desire a. side sewer laid it is necessary under the regulations of the Board of Public Works for them to deposit with the cashier a sum of money sufficient to guarantee payment for the work when | completed. This money is turned in every | day and at the time it is deposited Cash- ier White was supposed to give the per- | son depositing the money a regularly printed and numbered receipt. These re- celpts are numbered in such a way that it would be next to an impossible task for the cashier to appropriate the money |to his own use without being instantly detected. It very often happens that the sum deposited is not sufficient to-pay for | the work when completed and in that case | | the additional money is collected from the person making the original deposit. Ac- cording to the meager explanation given out by the members of the board it seems that White was in the habit of giving de- positors “‘phony’’ receipts or pocketing the money without making out a receipt.

It is difficult to say which of the three burlesques—* Pousse Cafe,” “Antony and Cleopatra” and “A Royal Family’—is the funniest. Suffice it to say that each of them is met with peals of laughter by delighted audiences.

The fun in “A Royal Family" comes in bunches and one experiences a twinge of regret that it ends so suddenly. inteligent actor and Maude Amber dis- plays her talents with a grace that is charming. California. _ The California Theater was crowded last night as it has not been in many weeks for the Warde company’s rendition of “Virginius.” The audience was most enthusiastic throughout and the applause at the close of the fourth and fifth acts was tremendous. Warde was finally com- gelled to make a brief speech, thanking is hearers for their appreclation of his work. Charles D. Herman as Appius Claudius also appeared very advantage- ously. Antoinette Ashton made an excel- lent Virginia. The others of the cast fur- nished adequate support for the leaders This portrayal of the life of the Romans in the days of the Dectmvirate is some- thing unusually good and the story of the heroic sacrifice of Virginius, though old almost as history itself, can never lose its charm. Central. - That “East Lynne” still retains Its wonderful ‘popularity was demonstrated last night by an audience that completely exhausted the capacity’'of the Central Theater. The play was admirably acted and mounted and the performance an un- qualified success throughout. The chief honors fell to Fanny Mclntyre, who as Lady Isabel made the strongest possible kind of a hit. Miss McIntyre was sev- eral times called before the curtain. Georgie Cooper looked very handsome as Barbara Hare and acted with great deli- cacy and grace. Kitty Belmour achieved ‘a comedy triumph as Cornelia Carlyle, and Gegrge Webster was completely in his element as the nonchalant Francis Levison. Julius McVicker made an ex- cellent Archibald Carlyle and Ollle Coop- er, a wonderfully clever child, gave a deeply touching performance of little Wil- liam. The remainder of the cast proved adequate. Next Monday Sutton Vales’ famous military and sporting drama, ‘‘Humanity,” will be elaborately pru- duced. Among its many features will be a duel with swords on horseback be- tween a British officer;and a Boer, and a fox hunt in which a pack of real hounds and a number of mounted huntsmen will take part.

At all events Secretary Parks says he has discovered grave irregularities in Cashier White’s methods of handling the side sewer funds, which will be brought to light at the investigation to-day. Sec- retary Park and Auditor Baehr both ad- | mit that White's accounts were kept cor- Winfield Blake shows himself to be an | rectly and whatever shortage is found will be discovered when the amount of work done in the last year, together with the cost of the same, will be footed up and compared with ~White's cash ac- ounts. cMeanwhHe White's whereabouts is a mystery. As soon as it was discovered that White's accounts were irregular Sec- retary Park telephoned to St. Helena and ascertained that White never called at the office for the answer to the telegram he sent notifying the board that he would be unable to report for duty. The tele- gram is still on the undelivered list at St. Heiena and in addition Park found out that the telegram which he had re. ceived purporting to be from White had been sent from St. Helena by an un- known woman. Those interested in White's disappearance are convinced that he has left the State. The discovery of White's alleged short- age was quite a shock to nearly every- body who ever had any dealing with the Board of Public Works. He had the rep- Ltation of being especially honest and ihere are many who have hopes that he will return and be able to explain away the alleged irregularities in his metnod: of transacting public business. White has two children and he owns a nice lit- tle home at 80 Pierce street. The prop { 1 erty has a small mortgage on It, but it is | of sufficlent value to cover the alleged shortage in his accounts. This fact adds an air of mystery to White's actions in remaining away. His friends argue that if he was short it would have been an easy matter for him to have raised suf- cient money to cover it by disposing of his property. - The missing cgshier was an enlisted man on the United States gunboat Mon. terey several years ago and upon his re. tirement he took a _ position as time-| @ keeper at the Union Iron Works. On the strength of a petition signed by over 2500 emvployes of the fron works he was appointed cashier of the Board of Pub- lic Works. He was also highly recom- mended by Henry T. and Irving M.
