THE MIMIC WORLD.
Midweek Notes Of Business at
The Different Theaters.
Managers Gathering the Aftermath Of the
Festival in Full Attendance-The
Circus.

There is not much new in regard to our
leading local theaters, excepting the one
fact so gratifying to all the managers that
the auditoriums of the different houses were
full to doors last evening. 1t is the after
math of the rural harvest that commenced
with the inception of the Admission festivi-
ties, and will probably continue, in a dimin-
ishiug degree, till the end of the week.
There are great many visitors from
the interior clinging to the destinations
of the metropolis yet and one of the strong
est of these appears to be the theater where
can be seen performance at its best, and
before it is started on the road. There is a
fear, however, that this condition of things
may have bad effect on the business of
road-show managers, and that the young
man from the country" may turn up his
nose at the abbreyiation on presentation in
his native village of the piece he saw in its
pristine brilliaDcy in San Francisco. If he
does not despise it, people will not believe
he has Travelled.

The Granger engagement at the Bush

ited," that opened.so auspiciously, promises
to car ry its good fortune throughout. The
play is emotionally strong, and Miss
Granger has thorough command of its re-
quirementS. & She SuStains herself admira-

be said there is no ''dearth of woman's
tears" To show what she has to encoun-

marries Alice, and on this day the wife'S
reason is restored and she escapes from the
asylum and comes home. She comes, how
ever, too late to do much else except to take
poison, and this she does and dies. Miss
Granger has vastly improved in her acting
methods, and is warmly accepted by the
audience II is on the cards that she may
extend her present tour to Australia, pro-
viding the steamship line be not withdrawn,
of which there is a strong probability.

A Second Examination for Murder.

GRASS VALLEY, Sept. 1o.-Marshal
Kelley. young man, is to be examined here
for the murder of Augustine Piezzi, conf
mitted in August. 1889. at a grog-shop eight
miles east of town on the You Bet road Piezzi
was beaten and kicked to death in a most
brutal manner by drunken crowd. Two
OF the crowd were sent to the penitentiary.
John Shay was one of the assailants of the
dead man and was shot and killed by the
Keeper OF the GROCERY on the night Of the
ARRAY. Kelley was examined at the time
before Justice of the Peace, but nothing
was found against him. Now Hodge and
Mclean, the Folsom prisoners, testify that
Kelley gave Piez1 the first blow and the
last kick and then Kelley threw the dying
man over the fence. Kelley is well con-
nected in this place. There seems to be
strong case against him. District Attorney
Nilon has the full confession of Hodge and
Mclean. The examination takes place next

Shakespeare can be counted on the fingers
of one hand. This is not as it used to be, for
in the ''palmy days" every stage-struck as

Dixey's "Adonis" is going with an easy and

agreeable contrast with the constrained

"Seven Ages" eonceit that preceded it. The
musical feature of the performance is happy

is always sure card in any stage produc-
ton. and it is surprise to us that
shrewd caterers to the public taste do
not bear this in mind, trusting
to broader and popular effects more,
and less to NATURALIZATION in such pieces
and the narrowing and monotonous vanity
which it engenderS. The musical episodes
in the piece under consideration have been
arranged with admirable tact, and the
audience enthuses over them. In his
"Adonis" Mr.. Dixey is quite as good as he
was won't to be; his limitations are his
happiest hits, while some of the word-play
is worthy of John BrOugham.
