CLUNIE OPERA HOUSE. A large and
thoroughly representative audience greeted
Grace Hawthorne at the Clunie Opera
House last evening in her presentation of
the " New Camille, which is her first an
pearance in Sacramento. The press of San
Francisco, San Jose and at other points.
| had spoken highly of this talented Ameri-

the difficult role of Camille last evening.
| recognized in her finished artist, who evil
IDENTIFY has won her way to success by
painstaking. She is of good presence. has
| a splendid voice, and in deeply emotional
passages there is magnetism about it that
the audience cannot resist. Her rendition
of Camille differs somewhat from that of

with nearly all of whom she
will compare quite favorably. She
at once became 4 favorite with the
| audience, and was thrice called before the
curtain. 1t is perfectly safe to say that in

done by her art work of the higher order.
William F. Clifton, the Armand Duval of

Mr.. Paul, thoroughly good artist. The
stage settings were, as has always been the
case in the Opera theater, new, bright, and
appropriate Mr. Clifton announced that
the play for this evening would be
"Queena," a comedy drama that had re-
markable success in New York. 1t is en-
tirely new to this people, is replete with
interest, and presents the entire company
to the very best advantage. He also stated
that during the balance of the engagement
the curtain would rise promptly at
o clock. The management has forbidden
smoking in the gallery during this engage
ment. The rule was enforced last night, to
the qualification of the many ladies who
had seats in the family circle.

trials, to be held under the auspices of the
Pacific Coast Field Trial Club, will be inau-
gurated tomorrow on the Shafter ranch.
