Next Saturday the Turn Verein Ger
main association give their annual
masked ball at Turner hall. Great pre-
parations are being made for the occas-
of the society.
OF the play and company that will
open at the Los Angeles tonight the Sac
ramento Record Union says:
The Alcazar theater company opened
their brief season at the Metropolitan
theater last night in Pinero's comedy,
The Magistrate. The piece, which is
one of most amusing situations and
delightful humor, and keeps the audi
ence in roar OF laughter, was excel
lently played. There is very often as
fine artdisplayed in presenting comedy
as in the production of tragedy. What
ever intelligent Judgment, natural and
cultivated ability in the acting art, good
stage setting and the skill of thor
oughly accomplished people can con-
tribute to the success of capital come
dy was expended last night by the AL
cazar company upon The Magistrate. 1t
made no difference that the audience
was small, the ladies and gentlemen of
the company were faithful to the last
degree, and in every detail. 1t is seldom
that as thoroughly good, evenly bal
anced, painstaking and we'll informed
and trained stock company is seen here.
Messrs. Beach and Wilson, the new
leading men, are artists, understand
their business to the letter and in
the spirit, and if they are as versatile as
they are accomplished, they are excep-
tionally valuable to the dramatic art.
Mr.. Stockwell is we'll known to the pub
lie as low comedian of infinite drollery
and adaptability. His Magistrate was
thoroughly finished piece of comedy
work, and proves his broad versatility.
Miss Ethel Brandon was dainty ,womanly
and faultless, as was Mrs. Posket. Fan
ME Bowman, the sparkling soubrette,
one of the brightest and merriest, is OF
the troupe, as also is Fannie Young, one
of the best known California stock act
resses on the stage, and quite as strong
and every whit as painstaking as she
was in the time OF the old California
theater and Maguire's opera house. Ida
lene Cotton has developedsinto woman
of promise as an actress, youthful as
yet, but filling the part given her we'll.
Leo Cooper is of the troupe also, an actor
well known, versatile as are but few,
and highly competent for all-round
dramatic work. Mr.. Truder, the new
new juvenile actor, left nothing what
ever to be desired in the part he so we'll
assumed last night. In addition there
were Frank Wyman, E. e. Bender,
Thomas Bates and H. NJ. Scott, who
give strong support in minor parts to
stock company OF excellence, and de- |
serving the patronage OF those who ad-
mire completeness and even balance in
a dramatic troupe. Tonight will be
played Augustin Daly's charming COM
edy, 7-20-S, tor Casting Boomerang,
which abounds with humor of the |
wholesome order.
AS soon as Emma Abbott's remains
were placed in the vault at Graceland,
Kansas City, Mo-. January Sth, says the
New York Clipper of the 18th, her opera
company disbanded, and its members
left for their several homes. About |
forty OF them went to New York, while |
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton were the destinations of others.
Several OF the chorus singers who had
been more than liberal with their
money during the holiday season were
really hard pressed financially, but their
manager, C. II. Pratt, saw to it that all
were provided with transportation and
enough change to get home on. 1t is
understood that if he can engage an ac-
ceptable prima donna, Mr.. Pratt will
soon reorganize the company and fill
such OF the dates as have not expired.
1t he should decide after reaching New
York not to undertake the venture,
William Broderick may take the organ
ization out. Reports of suffering among
the singers for want OF something to eat
while going from Salt Lake City to
Chicago, and for hotel accommodations
after arriving and during their stay at
the latter city, are Indignantly denied.
Those who had no money were looked
after by those who had. The granite
monument which Miss Abbott had
ordered to be place over her husbands
grave will soon be finished 1t is said
that it will be one of the finest monu-
ments in the country. 1t is to cost
$S5, 900, and will be placed over the re-
mains of the singer and her husband in
the family lot at Gloucester, Mass.
The day Emma Abbott died her maid
carried down into the hotel boiler-room
a lot of new shoes and underwear and a
sealskin sacque, the property of the de-
ceased prima donna, and requested the
firemen to burn them. The maid watched |
them burn. This action was in accord
ance with Miss Abbott's will, which pro-
vldes that her wardrobe should be
burned.-[Chicago Herald.

crasies to make present of diamond |
