Orpheum and Grand Opera House Present New At- tractions. e For the last week of their local engage- ment the Neill-Morosco . Company pro- duced last night for the nrst time here Paul Potter'’s dramatization of ‘*Notre Dame.” Five acts of it there are, not more trustful than much of the current | romantic melodrama—nor less. Yet Mr. Potter has succeeded in presenting the story with clearness, in accenting pretty Jjustly its salient features and in massing | them attractively. While the device ob- vious is rampant, the play is not dull and has a scene or two of considerable strength. Very good comedy is the scene where Gringoire finds himself among the | thieves, and would be better were the | poet role played otherwise than buffoon | fashion, in which its exponent conceived | and acted the part last night. Go to thy scene of the attempted murder of Captain | Phoebus is also well managed, though gaining no particular strength from its acting, and the lines aré unusually eof-| From the scenic side the pro-| duction is entitled to considerable praise, | also the stage management, with special eye to the clever handling of the mob in the Court of Miracles. The gypsy role of Esmeralda suits Miss Kemble better than anything she has done this season. Picturesquely, she fills the role admirably. Frank McVicars es- | says the Quasimodo, and in a sufficiently | fantastic get-up does earnest and effective | work in the part. He makes a distinct score by the nonchalant fashion in which | he carries Miss Kemble up Notre Dame's | steps. (And she is not of the lean kine | of Pharaoh, either!) Charles Wyngate is the archer, Phoebus de Chateaupers, and brings a dashing exterior and some con viction to the part. Thomas Oberle is| the priest, Claude Frollo, who bobs up unserenely just when he shouldn’t. Mr. com- | fortable in the role. Adora Andrews, who was the Fleur de Lys, was acceptable, | and the rest of the large cast filled in| more or less advantageously The house was large, irreverent and en- thusiastic. Next Sunday evening the res- ular season begins with “A Friend of the | Fami with George W. Barnum and | Alice Johnston. | | BLANCHE PARTINGTON et s The “standing room only” sign was dis- | played long before the curtain went up | at the OrpheumJast evening. Those who | were turned away missed a good show, and those who secured admission were fortunate. Four new numbers of the star | order have been secured by Manager | green, a glddy father { mont and Dumont, l Morrisey, and the holdover acts were all the cream of last week's performance Frederic Bond and company open in a laughable farce, “My Awful Dad.” Bond | sustains the character of Adonis Ever-| Arthur Buchanan takes the part of Richard, his son, and Miss Georgle Benton plays Matilda Wed- digan, a dashing young widow. Mrs. Biggs is ably sustained by Ethel Tassin. It is one laugh from start to finish. Al- on the bills the world's greatest instrumental hussars, do themselves proud, and there seems to be | scarcely an instrument they cannot mas- | | | | | ter. During the act they introduce se eral horns which are new to this city. Fisher and Wacker appear as comic Tyrolean duetists. It is their first Ameri- can appearance, and they certainly “make | good.” There is just sufficient blend of comedy in_the turn, which, with the ex-| cellent voices, brings encores at the con- clusion of each song. The original Rio | brothers are wonders as athletic enter- | tainers. They do work that s never | been seen here before, and the strong-arm exhibition is marvelous. They held the audience until the conclusion of the show, which is something out of the ordinar: The La Vine-Cameron trio continue in ! their laughable absurdity, “My Demented | Friend.” These popular people receive a warm second-week welcome, and their | acrobatic and dancing turn is hard to ex- cel. Marguerite and Hanley open the show as sensational acrobats, and George Schindler follows as the world's greatest | harmonica player. Lew Bloom and Jane Cooper appear again in “A Picture From Life,” and T. Nelson Downs still mysti- | fies as the “'king of coins.” i e i | The Pollard Lilliputian Opera Company opened the second week of its engage ment at the Grand Opera-house last | | night in ““A Gaiety Girl."” The production All the principal streets have banners and flags across ther intervals and large bear flags are being placed in posi- tion.

This afternoon at 3 o'clock the first of thé popular concerts will be given at the Mechanics’ Pavilion under the direc- tion of Fritz Scheel. These are a series inaugurated by the San Francisco Sym- phony Society for the benefit of the pub- lic. That a large crowd will attend is already an assured fact, since the sale of seats is unusually great. There is no other leader in the United States that knows so thoroughly how to please the general public as Scheel, and for this rea- Son_his concerts are invariably well at- tended. The programme for this after- noon is an exceedingly interesting one and at the same time melodious. To-day the seats will be on sale at the pavilion. There will be a second concert at the pa- vilion on Wednesday dfternoon and to- morrow afternoon another regular Tues- day symphony concert will be glven at the Grand Opera-house. — e Lundy carries largest stock 18-k. plain rings in the city. 4 Third street is a new one to San Francisco audiences | and contains many novel features. The littie ones displayed much grace and car- ried themselves with an air of assurance beyond their years. The scenic effects were of an .elaborate scale and the cos- tumes elegant. Little Daphne Poliard i the role of Lady Virginia Forrest won friends immediately by her quaint man- | ners and graceful carriage. She inter- | preted the role in an exceedingly clever | manner and surprised the entire house | by the way she handled her lines. Master | Teddy McNamara, a wee lad, appeared as the knockabout comedian in the plece, | and the way he went through his various | stunts was comical in the extreme. Then | he sang a song that brought down the house. Master Jack Pollard, who plays the part of the clergyman, Is possessed of great talent, and he fuily demonstrated last night that he is a born comedian. He was the center of attraction during the greater part of the production and | was fully equal to the occasion-in every instance. The chorus and ballet are espe- | clally good, and they sing some catchy songs. One of the features of “The Galety Girl” is the dancing, P e Gounod's great opera, “Faust,” will be given to-night and Wednesday, Friday | and Saturday evenings at the Tivoli Op- era-house. “Rigoletfo” will be given Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday even ings and Saturday matinee.

At the Columbia Theater this week Henry Miller and Margaret Anglin will be seen in “The Devil's Disciple” and “The Tamiog of Helen.”” % oieciia “Whose Baby Are You?" a farce com- edy, will be this week's bill at the Cen- tral Theater, beginning with a matinee to-day. o e “The Con-Querers” and “The Glad Hand"” will be presented at Fischer's The- ater this week. . | ‘The programme at the Chutes contains the names of numerous excellent enter- tainers for this week and there will be a display of fireworks this evening, D, R Dr. Mclvor-Tyndall's lecture at Stein- way Hall was -attended by a large audi- ence last night.
