To see and hear “Charley’s Aunt” at the Alcazar, and it is to laugh till one’s sides ache. Everybody laughed all the time last night, and every one's sides ached with the splitting fun of it. John | B. Maher and George Osbourne furnish | the fun. It is spontaneous, and laugh- |ter comes as naturally from the audi- ence as water over precipice. Mr. Maher's impersonation of the spurious aunt is too funny for either criticism or description. This farce comedy is better than ozone or any other kind of exhilarating remedy for weak nerves. Nonsensical and improb- able as it is, one forgets those faults because he cannot do anything else but laugh. The company is hard to excel and all the favorites are there—Juliet Crosby, Frances Starr, Marie Howe, Adele Block and Messrs. Durkin, Hil- liard and Belasco—to fill in the back- and i Mrs. Richard Kerns, Miss | Mr. and | | €1 Gussie Belasco, Mies Sa- | and | und for the clever work of Maher | Osbourne.

PREACE SIEnS Master Actor Wins Tri- umph in “The Proud Prince.” iy All the literarv charm of a Shakes- pearean legend and all the best effects that modern stagecraft could devise— such was the presentation of “The Proud Prince” by E. H. Sothern and a capable supporting company last even- ing at the Columbia Theater. ‘The play was written by Justin Huntly McCarthy, and its theme is the psycho-religious fable of a King of Sicuy whose soul was as bad as its tenement was handsome. This mon- arch scoffs at heaven's might until the Archangel transtorms him into a being with person as repellant as his mind. In this Calibanistic condition he passes through various stages of suffering un- til the heart purification gradually ef- { fected through his seemingly hopeless passion for a pure young girl redeems him and restores his former estate. Longfellow has sung the story and all its poetic worth has been utilized by the dramatist. Through four acts the symbolical meaning is sustained in lines that are true literature, action is illuminative and scenes lhdt McCarthy calls his work “a mi play,” but it is much more convinc- ing than it could have been when the churclr taught some of its lessons through the medium of the mummer. The lesson is embellished with all that has been learned of stage art since the fifteenth century. Sothern’s acting as the King won for him half a dozen curtain calls at the conclusion of each act. It would have been great acting without the | pictorial accessories, and with them it served to rousé the big and cultured first-night audience to a pitch of en- thusiasm rarely attained in that house. | His exhibition of the King's brutal ar- rogavce in the first act—where he was the despot who neither spared maiden- 1y hcnor nor heeded manly protest— was as thrilling in its repulsive way as was his subsequent writhing of soul. All Sothern did was thoroughly con- vincing. Miss Jane Laurel shared most of the recalls with him and she fairly earned the young actress has never among Sothern's associates. Her in- genuousness was accentuated by the artistic way in which Miss Affie War- ayed the wanton favorite of the King—a part that necessitated a keen sense of repression. The slightest bit of. over-exuberance would have made been seen it a less interesting performance. Both | women are richly blessed with person- big cast was entirely adequate. If given a decade aco—when Fanny | Davenvort's trees were torn up in the Egyptian storm during her perform- ances of the Nile siren—the electrical effects introduced in the first act of “The Proud Prince” would have cre- ated a sensation; and even now, when such effects are: mo rarity, th are well worth witneasing. The .scenery, too, could not be more elaborate or a tistic and the incidental and entr’- acte mus’ = of which there is a great enhances the intelligibility of the | scenes by its thorough appropriate- | ness, As a whole “The Proud Prince” is a most satisfactory performance and the folk in all parts of the theater last night so pronounced it. ———————————— INDIANS ALONG SKE A RIVER ARE ON STRIKE Are Not Adequately Paid by the Canners. VANCOUVER, B. C., June 13.—The | Indians on the Skeena River are on strike because they think they are not remuneration by the canners for catching salmon. The can- ners offered seven sockeyes and twenty-five cents for red- springs. The Indians asked ten cents for sockeyes and thirty-five cents for redsprings. Most of the Japanese are | backing up the demands of the In- dians. G. I. Wilson, general manager of the British Columbia Packers’ As- sociation, and representatives of sev- eral independent canners have gone up to the Skeena to try to adjust the difftculty. ——e—————— SAM DAVIS ESTATE VALUES.—An ventory was filed in the Superior Court )esfir. day of the estate of the late Sam Davis in Kings and Fresno counties.

He said the proposed restric- tion on the Philippines seemed incon- sistent with certain declarations of the United States Government at the time of the drawing up of the treaty of peace. The British representative in Washington, the Secretary added, had been requested to call the atten- tion of the United States Government to the matter and point out the detri- mental effect of the restrictions on British trade. The discussion, he said, was still proceeding at Washington, and it would not be in the public interest to enter into details regarding . the ex- | change of views. The law does not take effect until 1886. Therefore there is plenty of time to consider the mat- ter, which deserves and will receive the attention of his Majesty's uu\ern- ment.
