The story also 18 & happy melange of humor and romance, its plot not lying, like Truth, at the bottom of a well. Serious- ly enough, “The Princess Chic" wears excellently, and one learsn without sur- prise that this is its fourth season. The chief Interest of the evening nat- urally centered in the San Francisco de- but of a young San Francisco singer, Miss Vera Michelena, the daughter of the aforetime famous Romeo of the Tivall, Signor Fernando Michelena. The “Prin- Chic” and California seem a fatal Last vear, just before the opera's appearance the then prima, Marguerite Sylva, ided at Denver that tights and salva- n were not compatible. This year, at dcoma just a month ago, the manage- ment decided that the prima in office and the roie were incompatible. Last year the part was triumphantly assumed by one Californian, the chic end shapely Maud Lilllan Berri, and this successful N. D. G. W. in the role. . Michelena's debut was on all sides a distinct sucs full of promise and a the daughter of her father, she sings ad- mirably, and being only 17, in a voice not yet fully matured.

Her carfeul musical training has given her a most charmingly clear enunclation t will be yet more useful if she will ak a little more slowly. But Miss Vera’'s dear, quaint, self-conscious little Miss Adele Stoneman, our other Cali- fornian, has the contralto part of Lor- raine. Miss Stoneman’s voice is. big, round and sympathetic, but she doesn’t vet know how to use it. Notwithstanding this, for her temperamental and vo gifts she received a well-de- served and hearty encore for her page song. Pictorially she fills the part to the brim. Charles the Bold is this year taken by Walter A. Lawrence, who sings pleasant- ly and looks handsome. Of the comedians Joseph C. Miron's face would be his for- t 2 if it were not for his legs. These are incarnate humor and alone worth the price of admission. Forest Huff is the other soldier of fortune, and with Muron fills in the vocal rt most use- fully. Both sing bravely. Not least is Albert Mahar, a sort of boiled-down Bar- nabee, in Chambertin. He has most of the good lines and is rapturously funny when he dances. With th alds “The Prin Chic” will doubtl. find ample appreciation during the week. It ends next Sunday night. .

It seems that mother-in-law was upstairs, having spolled the meal for the rest of the crowd, be- cause daughter-in-law had unluckily hap- pened to wear a gown as young as mam- ma-in-law’s. Paul (Ernest Hastings) and Martha (Miss Hunt) were therefore tak- ing tiffin by themselves, as an outwacd and visible sign of rebellion. The farce—they call it a comedy—Iis by should have ner The characters are touched in with sure hand. the dialogue brilliant at times and the plot and complications are thor- oughly ingenious. Add to this a quite effective cast. It looks as if the Alcazar's long search for a leading lady were at an end. Miss Hunt fulfilled very thoroughly the re quirements of her last night's role, with ample promise of further achievement. She is a spirituelle, slender, Maude Adamsy sort of girl, with a pretty voice, perament. She does Glory Quayle next week to Mr. Hastings’ John Storm, and it should be interesting. Hastings as the husband of the daughter-in-law, and Ma- rie Howe and George Osborne as her parents-in-law are all effective, as jg Mis Belgarde as the familiar Parlstas. intriguante. The plece is nicely mounted. GUISARD. Republic. In the catalogue of comical absurdities “What Happened to Jones” is close to the head of the list, but in the character of the hymn-book agent Harry Corson Clarke never had a superior. He kept the audience in roars,of Taughter last night at the Republic from his first appearance to the time he was bowing in response to thunderous applause at the fall of the curtain in the last act.

Her first appearance on the stage was quite en- thusiastically applauded. Julia Walcott, George Bosworth and Margaret Owen all furnished much aid in creating amuse- ment. The others of the cast supported the leaders admirably. California, “A Night on Broadway” was produced for the second time at the California last night by Murray and Mack and their clever company. A good house was in attendance and frequent bursts of laugh- ter was the best evidence that the lively dialogue, ridiculous speeches and amus- ing antics of the comedians were enjoyed. The end of the first and second acts was particularly good, the scenic effect pro- duced at the fall of the curtain being dectdedly new and novel.

Next Monday al * thrilling noveity entitled “The Dangers of lesque “Barbara Fidgety” at Fischer's Paris” will be produced. Theater began last night with the uspal packed house and created an enthusiasm ever greater than at the initial perform- ance, There were several new features introduced, which added largely to the success of the production. Maude Amber recéived two encores for her song ‘‘Come Down My Evening Star.” displays remarkable ability as a singer of coon songs, and hér song “Keep Away From Emeline” is one of the hits of the piece. Cloy Elmer has a small part, but does it well. Barney Bernard shows his versatility in the role of Jack Jagley, a character as different from his Hebrew impersonation as the sun differs from the moon. Kolb and Dill kept the house in roars of laughter as the soldlers with ir- Grand Opera Housa. There was a big audience at the Grand | Opera-house last night when Miss Nance | O'Neil again gave her fine interpretation of Lady Macbeth in Shakespeare's tragedy, “Macbeth.” The clever actress was applauded again and again for her powerful work. Miss O'Neil will con- tinue in the play during the rest of the week. Orpheum. The audience at the Orpheum last night could not get enough of Richgrd J. Jose, the great contra-tenor, and every | time he appeared he was greeted with storms of applause. He sang five songs, | resistible German dialects, while Harry but the audience was not satisfied and he | Hermsen, Winfleld Blake and Charles smilingly sald, when he again appeared: | Bates have parts that fit them like “Well, if you can stand it I can,” and he sang “Dolly Gray' in his inimitable style. He was forced to come out again and there were cries from different parts of | the house for some favorite song and, as he could not please them all, he sang | another verse of “Dolly Gray.” Even then the applause was as deafening as before, but the curtain had to be rung down. Les Frasettis, violin, harp and xylophone sololsts, are exceedingly clever and met with a very flattering reception, as did the Miles Stavordalé Quintet. Scott brothers do some wonderfully clever feats as acrobats and equilibrists, | most of them being original and unique. Zazell and Vernon, triple bar pantomim- ists; the Elinore sisters in their amusing sketch, “Mrs. Delaney”; Jules and Ella | Garrison, burlesque tragedy stars, and | Fields and Ward, comedians and paro- dists, complete the attractive bill. gloves. The last act, with its mechanical surprise “the sliding stairway,” should alone serve to. crowd the house for some time to come. Chutes. The Austin sisters, aerial performers, thrilled large audiences at both perform- ances at the Chutes yesterday with their daring trapeze act. Aimee Austin also ac- complished the astonishing feat of walk- ing head downward on the under side of a board suspended fifty feet in the air, Montague's performing cockatoos dis- played great intelligence, the Bernards were amusing in_their sketch, “My U cle’s Visit,” and Minona gave a beautiful transformation and volcano dance.

In point of view of elaborateness of stage setting and richness of costumes the pres- ent production has probably never been outdone in this city. With a new set of scenery complete, and Japanese garo which is of the richest and most accurate iu detail, the Tivoll produces an atmos- phere which lends much to the charm of | this classic comic opera. From Yum Yum to the chorus girls the varlety and rich- ness of the quaint Japanese garb pro- duce an effect which is well worth see- ing. The cast is strengthened by the presence of Caro Roma, who makes her initlal appearance before a San Francisco audience, Despite the unsightly make-up which she labors under in the character of Katisha, her voice wins for her gen- crous applause. Kdward Webb, the orig- inal Lord High Executioner of the first London production, is the center figure of the piece and proves himself an apt mirthmaker. Hartman as the Mikado, though assuming a minor character in the present piece, makes his inevitable hit with the audience. Annie Myers wears her kimona gracefully, and Arthur Cun- uipgham, the Poo-Bah, sings his part with his customary spirit. Fischer’s. The third week of the successful bur- dreds of visitors. The amateurs will ap- pear on Thursday night. —_———— HAVE NOT SECURED CONTROL OF GRAND Production of ;t:lr?mwlin Plays Involves No Change in Man- . ¢ agement, The rumors that have been rife that Stair & Havelin, the Eastern theatrical magnates, had leased the Grand Opera- house from Messrs. Ackerman, Bishop and others for a term of years prove to be grossly exaggerated. It has devel- oped that the deal which has been made involves only the production of plays controlled by the Eastern firm on a per- centage basis, as is done by all other companies. Stair & Havelin are regarded as the largest theatrical firm In the United States, controlling eighty-twd theaters in the various States, and are part owners of the million dollar Theater Mafestic recently erected in New York City. The management of the Grand Opera- house, when seen relative to the rumor, stated that there was absolutely no truth in the report that the control of the house had been given over to Messrs, Stalr & Havelin, and that the rumor had undoubtedly been based on the fact that arrangements had been perfected whereby, for a period of several months TRAGEDY GLOSES THEIR QUARREL A Prominent Southern Politician Fires Fatal Shot. |Former Friends Fight in a Kitchen and One Is Killed. 1 Speclal Dispatch to The Call.
