NOTES.
Next week Vernona Jarbeau will he
at the Grand in Starlight. vernona
must be running close after Maggie
Mitchell and Sarah Bernhardt in point
of age, but when she bounds on the
stage, and puts on that wicked smile,
and glances from the corner of her eyes,
why, Lord bless you, she's as young as
when she was queen of the New York
dudes.
Robert Graham, who was here in the
Sea King company, will star next sea
son IN a play called Larry the Lord.
Mr.. Graham is very pleasing COM
edian, but the step is daring one.
Mamie Crib, his wife, is remarkably
symmetrical young woman, who shock
ed San Diego one time by appearing in
tights with glove-like feet, each little.
and for that matter, each big toe having
its separate compartment. Mamie wig
gled her pink toes when on the stage in
a very fascinating way, but the act
offended the high moral taste of one of
the editors OF that city, and he wrote an
editorial leader about the offending,
wiggling toes. Mr.. Graham and Mamie
Crib are we'll liked in Los Angeles, and
have many well-wishers.
Dot Rossmore, who has appeared
many times in this city, is now playing
at Moroseo's theater in San Francisco.
Miss Rossmore is q very handsome
woman, and possesses considerable tai
ent-too much, one would imagine, for
the theater she is at.
Madame Bernhordt's next birthday
will be her fiftieth.
Nine. Modjeska, after filling several
successful engagements in Germany and
Poland, has gone to Lakopane, in the
Carpathian mountains, for rest and rec
reation. She has given her son hand
some villa there which she owned Nine.
Modjeska will sail from Bremen for New
York about the end of June, and will
come to her ranch near Santa Ana for
the summer. Her next American tour
will commence the latter part of Sep
tember, and will be under the manage
ment of Frank G.. Cotter.
Miss Eleanor Calhoun is in San Jose,
at the home of her father, Judge Cal
houn. She has been in Europe for three
years, and will return on May 25th to fill
an engagement in Paris. The Fresno
49,. al~ l. l..
reputation as an actress in Paris.
All old habitues of San Francisco
theaters will remember Louise Leighton,
of the Tiovli company. For several years
she exercised very fair voice, and her
very fetching legs on the stage of that
home of opera. She married the tenor
of that theater, Erkert, and then things
went wrong. Her voice and round
limbs grew thin together, and she went
to Japan expecting to die of consump-
ton. But with feminine perverseness
she got well and married millionaire
Yokohama merchant named Simmons,
and recently passed through San. Fran
cisco on her way to Europe. She has
besides husband, got back her voice
and plumpness. Mr.. Eckert is now
transforming in Nevada.
Telulla Evans is playing Violet in the
Little Tycoon company.
Dave Hayman is manager of the She
nandoah company. The Haymans are
all forehanded. Despite their name
there is no hayseed in their hair.
Marcus Mayer has come down from
the perch of grand opera management,
and has turned his giant brain to the
nimble penny turning farce comedy.
Leon Broderick, we'll known and we'll
liked here as member of the Emma
Abbott opera company, is with the Ka-
janka company. In his part he has sew
eral songs.
| What is she? Sarah Bernhardt's par
ents were Alsutian Jews, she was born
in France, and baptized as Christian
and the critics call her divine.
John L. Sullivan is booked at the
Los Angeles theater. John smokes
twenty-five to fifty dollars day setting
'em up, says San Francisco Music and
Drama, to his admirers. This news will
cause many additions to that class when
John arrives.
Jack Perry, formerly of the Club the
alter and the Tivoli of this city, is now
at the Wigwam in San Francisco.
Laura Biggar is undressing herself to
play LA in Brady's Clemenceau Case
company on the northwest circuit.
E. ]. Buckley is ill in New York. Par
alysis.
The man who wrote Annie Rooney re-
ceived for his work $3.50, which was
just four dollars and half too much
The late Emma Abbott's wardrobe
was recently sold at auction in Chicago.
Most OF the garments were sold to pri-
vate parties, among which were the
"Thistle" dress, which brought $500;
the Ernani robe, of black velvet, trim
med with Venitian point lace, $500; the
gypsy dress worn in the Bohemian Girl,
$50.
Katie Emmett will appear early in
June at the Grand in the Waits of New
York. The company has been greatly

sides the addition of a practical fire
engine, and team of trained horses.
Reports Of bad business in the north
west has at last turned the tide in favor
of Southern California, and next season

not be show here.
