These t nights of the popular or- ization, and the theater itself, by the way, is to be night until August. The Prince of Liars” is the ‘old ‘Arabian Nights” brought to date, its plot the perenniaily amusing one of the mendacious husband and the meddle- | ome mother-in-law. Perhaps the ‘Man From Mexico” is a more iri- descenk story-teller, but Arthur Hum- mingtop’s scraps with the truth are quite sufficiently enlivening. He is comparatively innocent.

H | S rn in the title role, began its second week at the Columbia last night. The house was packed to the doors and the audience showed its thorough appreciation of the remark- able work of the performers in an un- | mistakable way. Sothern held his h»arers spellbound, making them live and breathe in his marvelous trayal of the character of the Sicilian fell but little behind the star in the way of popular approval. Her sweet face and graceful carriage would alone mark her for distinction. A particularly “plea the performance was the excellent work of beautiful Affie Warner, who is winning fame in this piece in the part of Lycabetta, the chief favorite of King Robert, the Bad.” The others of the large cast furnish excellent sup- port for the leaders. Alcazar. The Alcazar Stock Company began the final week of its engagement last creditable production Clyde Fitch's pastoral comedy, Lovers’ Lan There is much to amuse in the piece and a great deal | that touches the heart strings. The parts are all well sustained, prominent | among them being that of =xmphcuy Johnson in the capable hands of Frances Starr, who again has an op- | portunity to display her versatile tal- | ents, an opportunity of which she takes the fullest advantage. John B. Maher is capital in the dual role of | | Uncle Bill and Mr. Skillig, the man- | | ager of the opera house, who is his own bill poster. Miss Marie Howe is perfectly at home as Matty, the min- ister’s housekeeper, and her work, which is at all times clever, with the approbation of her audience. George Osbourne is as reliable as ever | |as Hosea Brown and James Durkin | | acts intelligently the part of the min- | ister, barring a slight disposition to be | | too mournful. Adele Block is accept- | | able as Mary Larkin and Adele Bal- garde is convincing as Mrs. Wood- bridge. The rest of the cast is well | taken care of by Luke Conness, Harry Hilliard, Jennie Wiederman, Maggi Leavy, Stella Rizita, and too much cannot be sald in praise of Juliet Cros- by, whose impersonation of Miss Molly | Mealy, the school mistress, is unctuous- ly humorous. The scenic effects of the | play were no small part of its pro- | nounced success. ‘ Central. The Central Theater's revival of | | George drama, “The Lights o’ London,” drew ! | an immense house last night. As much | | interest was manifested in the plece |and the audience was roused to as | high a pitch of enthusiasm as if the | | play were brand new Instead of having | broken all records for longevity. It | was the inaugural night of the Stock- well benefit week, and the size of the cro"d indicated that the popular vet- | eran actor will be enriched by a sub- | | stantial purse. “The Lights o' London” has every- thing that melodrama demands— | human interest, natural pathos, thrill- | ing situations, abundant wholesome |comedy and climaxes that serve as | preludes to vigorous and repeated cur- | tain calls. The piece is well mounted and the bridge scene is particularly ef- fective. The dive for life into the Thames (a huge tank of “real water’”) is highly realistic. Herschel Mayall and Eugenie Thais | Lawton were convincing in the leading | roles, Henry Shumer maleu a first- class villain and George P. Webster {s strong in the character pnrt of Seth Preene. L. R. Stockwell, Julia Blanc and Winifred Gordon, as members of the Jarvis family of actors, made a rare comedy hit, especially in the snow scene and in the rehearsal before the | police. The cast is a large and good | one.

They worked earnestly and with intemgence | to make the most of the material fur- | nished them by the author, but what | they made of it fell far short of adding | it to the season’s dramatic successes. | For whatever hits were scored the in | terpolated matter was solely respon- @xble When the players got away |from the book and introduced busi- jness of their own manufacture they ! | lghtened up the gloom. Among the specialties that brought | recalls was Edna Aug's imitation of | Elfie Fay, who was headlined at the jOrpheum last season as “The Crazy | Soubrette.” Some of the folk who | were awakened from sedateness by the | imitation declared that it was several degrees crazier than the original. York and Adams created hilarity by poking into the second act some of the parodies and duologues that they had | tried and found not wanting in vaude- | ville. Al Fields succeeded better than | any of his colleagues in making fun out of his allotted lines, and Ben Dil- lon, the. ever reliable, came a close | second in that herculean task. Freda Gallick sang three songs and got thrice as many floral tributes. Mr. Clark’'s singing of “Let All Obey” was the vocal gem of the show. Stage | t Manager Jones upholstered and cos- | tumed the plece artistically. | The run of “The Mormons” is in- | definite. Chutes. | Charles and Bessie Hart made lheir] first appearance at the Chutes yester- | | day in a refined and novel musical act, scoring hits at both performances. | Lamont’s Australian trained cockatoos gave an extraordinary exhibition of bird intelligence, the petite Fay sisters proved graceful and clever singers and | dancers and Miss Hallie White, a pleasing soprano, was well received in | her illustrated songs. Jones, Sylvester and Pringle, “The Imperials of Min- | strelsy”’; Brandow and Wiley, the ver- | satile colored couple, and the animata- | scope, reproducing a realistic train robbery, completed an excellent pro- gramme. The amateurs will appear on Thursday night. — ALLEGE BOARD ~ ACTS UNFAIRLY Local Merchants Threatem to Bring a Suit Against Directors of Napa Asylum s e | | The recent awarding of contracts for | | supplies for the State insane u)lum at Napa bodes trouble for the direct- | ors of that institution. A report was | circulated yesterday that several local | business houses, which have béen in | the habit of bidding Yor the asylum | contracts, feel grieved over the al- leged unfairmess of the directors in making awards and are preparing to | enjoin the latter from carrying out| their recent decision. It has been | charged that instead of awarding the | contracts for supplies of butter, eggs and other provisions to the lowest and | most reilable bidder, as provided by | law, the directors have been giving the contracts to the highest bidders. % The claim is made that the direct- ors of the asylum have acted in this unlawful manner on several occasions and naturally aroused much dissatis- | faction among many local firms which | had submitted lower bids than the ones accepted, and have qualified in every ! manner required by law. Among the dissatisfied firms is Lundy & Co. of this city, and it is reported to be pre- | paring to bring an injunction suit against the directors of the institution. It was learned last night that Lundy & Co. have engaged the services of At- torney Louis Titus, but the only state- ment the lawyer would make was as follows: i “Lundy & Co. have retained me to look out for their interests, but we | have not decided yet how we shall i proceed, if at all. I do not care to say | anything about what my clients be- lieve to be their rights. The board does not seem to have dealt fairly with them, at any rate. Whether injunc- tion proceedings will be Instituted to | prevent the award of the contract to | their competitors is something that will be determined later.” ———— | SEVEN PINES CIRCLE GREETS THE COMMANDER The Head of the Grand | Army of the Republic Is Enter- | tained by Ladles. The headquarters of Seven Pines ‘Circle No. 3, Ladies of the Grand | Army, in Pioneer Hall was crowded | 1ast night with members of that circle, | those of George H. Thomas Circle and | of William McKinley Circle; also | many members of the Grand Army to welcome Department Commander Rice on the occasion of his official vis- it, accompanied by his staff. The vis- itors were welcomed to the patriotic- ally decorated quarters by Mrs. Hen- rietta Hall, president of the circle. | The commander made an eloquent | patriotic response, in which he paid a | high tribute to the Ladies of the | Grand Army for their work in assist- ing the old soldiers of the Civil War | and their families when in need. He | was followed by Adjutant General | Roberts and Comrade Woodward, who each spoke In the same strain as the commander. After the speeches there were songs and instrumental selections |and the serving of ice cream and cakes. This circle will give its anni- versary party June 30. —————— | SUICIDAL FAKER WRITES A LETTER TO HIS DOG Joe McMillen made something of a | bluft at suicide last night. Before the act he wrote two short notes. One was addressed to his dog, Duke, whom he designated as “his only friend.” The other was indited to Miss Blanche Porter. It was short and to the point and read as follows: | Dux Blanche: I'm drunk. I gied | for you.” When taken to the Emergency Hos- | pital examination showed that Mec- Millen with a razor had made twelve | small scratches on his neck and about as many light cuts on his left arm. From appearances it was a false alarm all round.
