METROPOLITAN TREATER.-The ''IGrano-
mas Birthday Party" comedy company
opened for a short season at the Metropolitan
Theater last evening. There was good at
tendance. The company, some Is or IA in
number, is composed of young people. the
ladies especially being quite juvenile in ap-
pearance, but all having good stage presence
The entertainment consists OF an opening
farce, an olio of specialties, and light sketch,
entitled "Grandma's Birthday" that is the
mers frame for variety of character acts.
Dramatically considered, the troupe makes
small pretense, and it is well that
it does, for it has small capacity.
But for speciality character acting it
has some strong points. and these
are handled so az to make very fair pro-
gramme as whole, with three striking and
prominently good features-the triple clog
dancing by the Arnold brothers, the admi-
rable acrobatic performances of Siegrist and
Duray, than whom there are few if any bet
ter, and the very successful negro minstrel
character acting of w. H. Arnold. Added
to these is a skipping rope dance by Ida Sid
dons, number of songs in chorus, double
minstrel act, and double sailors hornpipe
by Ida Siddons and Sadie Siegrist, the former
being the most vivacious and attractive Of the
women of the troupe. Taken altogether it is
a light, unpretentious company, that does some
good character acting, and some singing that
is very ordinary. This is to be said for the
company, that it held the audience last even.
ing till late hour, and that there were many
and persistent encores, and manifestations of
much mirthful enjoyment The management
announces the scale of prices for the rest of
the season at 70 and 80 cents, and no charge
for reserves.
TEMPERANCE MEETING. fourth of the
series of temperance meetings being promoted
in this city was held last night at the Sixth.
street M. e. Church. There was a good at
tendance. George B. Katzenstein presided
There was prior to the speaking, some pleas
ing congregational singing. Rev. T. S. Dunn
offered a prayer, when the Chairman intro
duced Mrs. Emily Pitts Stevens as the first
speaker. She began with a sketch of the In
dependent Order of Good Templars, an organ
ization, she said, that was brought into
existence thirty years ago. She said the
first brewing of lager beer began about
the same time. The Good Templars' organ
ization is an American institution, and it is
SO widespread that .he sun never sets upon
it, for it now encirclss the globe. She pre-
dicted that inside of five years no man will
be elected to office in California who is not a
man of stri5t sobriety. We have laws now
to protect the fish 10 the waters and the birds
in the air. but no law to protect the boys Of
the land from the saloon inf hence. She closed
with an earnest appeal to thoughtful people to
come forward and aid the cause of sobriety.
Colonel Long was the next speaker. His
subject was embraced largely by the ques-
ton, docs whisky pay?" He was sure it
did not, and pointed uut how il is with the
man who becomes q drunk2rd and to whom
whisky paid nothing, but robbed of all. He
believed the time viii come when public SEN
timent will drive the saloon out of the COM
mupity. He urged upon the friends Of tenn
perance the necessity for organic atom
thorough and uncompromising organization
and effort All friends Of morality must
come and lend their aid to the temperance
cause. By union of effort aud persistence,
he believed speedy triumph would come
Anl meeting of the series will be held
thiseSeaing at the same place ct O'Clock.
