CRAWFORD GRAND.

The California Opera company will open
at the Crawford Grand on Monday even
ing, presenting Fra Diavolo." On Tues
day Said Pasha" will be given, closing
the engagement. The advance sale indi-
Gates large business, but aside from that
the favorable impression made by the COM
pany on its last visit would insure 1t a
warm reception from the theater goers OF
this city. The cast of said Pasha" Is
practically unchanged, the only aItera-
lions being some additional strength in the
chorus. Those desiring choice seats for
the second night would do well to begin to
think about the matter before 1t Is too late.
THEKLA
"Thekla" will be produced at the Craw-
ford Grand the second week of this month,
for the benefit of the new Children's home.
The exact date and program will be pub
lished later. The management OF this
drama is composed of well known ladies,
who know nothing about failure.
The object of the entertainment will be
sufficient to pack the house, but it is in
tended that the play shall have big draw
ing qualities of itself. All those who take
part give their services free and the opera
house will be given Free and beyond ques-
ton the proceeds will make a good begin
ming for the new home. Sometimes anna
teur performances are given under the
guise of being a benefit to some charitable
purpose and although they are, the real
spirit which actuates the performers Is to
glOrify themselves. In this case the sole
object is to raise funds for the new Child
ren's Home, and with such an object in
view every performer will forget their
identity, and that alone will insure sue
cess.
The management will request that no
mention be made of any feature of the pro-
duction unless it wins the appreciation of
the audience, in which case even the minor
parts will receive favorable comment.
''Thekla" gives a splendid scope for ability.
and it is a well known fact,that the cast is
made up of sufficient talent to please the
most fastidious audience.

fete, for the benefit Of St Johns church,
