His per- formance last night adds another to the many triumphs that he has won at the Majestic this season. With the exception of the character of Lady Sarah Annerly, portrayed by Eleanor Gordon, the women of the cast are not called upon to do anvthing very or emotional. Adele Block’s 1@a Potter and Elsie Esmond’s Ethel Lincoln are conscientious bits of work. Howard Gould held the sy pathies of the audience throughout as the unfortunate lover, son of Ralph Richard Lambart made a strikingly grotesque character of B. Sydney Van Cott of New York, and with Mr. O'Hara, the Lubbins of the cast. furnished the amusement of the play. George Woodward's Brac- kett, Frank McVicar's Baron Lincoln | and Harry Mestayer's Arthur Lincoln rounded out a highly successful per- formance. Columbia. Again “The Chinese Honsymooi holds the boards at the Columbia— this time with a cast almost entirely new. Joseph E. Miller, in the part of Lord High Chancellor, appears to be the only one of the cast whose face is famillar. Mr. Kearney in the part of the errant bridegroom, Mr. the Emperor and Miss Georgia Bryton as the captivating cockney waitress, are new to San Francisco in these parts. This does not militate in the least against the presentation of Dance & Talbot's clever musical comedy. It goes with the same snan and the audience pleased.

The feature of Thursday night’s amateur performance will be a running race for fat ladies. “Prin- cess Fan Tan” is announced, com- mencing next Sunday. Central. “Lost in Siberla” was produced at the Central Theater last night. It was well staged and was cast to the full strength of the regular stock company. The numerous thrilling scenes in which the play abounds were received with great favor by a big audience. Grand Opera-House.
