METROPOLITAN THEATER.-Emerson's Cal
ifornia Minstrels begin a weeks engagement
at the Metropolitan Theater this evening.
The troupe is strong one, and comes direct
from a remarkably successful run OF 125
nights ct San Francisco Emerson is well
known here and prime favorite. The lead
ing members of his company ara quite well
known here, and are accomplished actors in
the negro miustrelsy line. Emerson claims
that his company is the best balanced and
strongest that has been billed here for years.
One thicg will tend to make the engagement
successful, aud that is the reduction Of ad-
mission prices. "Billy Emerson" is wise 10
his day aad generation when he announces
prices which break the rule that has so long
prevailed hers. The parquette and dress
circle seats are now rated at 75 cents, with no
charge for reserved seats, and the gallery fee
is so cents. Another excellent order sf
Emerson's Is that no reserved seats will be
sold after Z P. ". The management promise
that the theater shall be well warmed to-
night The outlook is for a very good season
for this troupe.
