The Roncoroni Comp any.


A gentleman in Monterey, Mexico,
writes to the LIGHT the following
good word concerning the Roncoroni
Company:
"This excellent company is still
holding the boards of the Monterey
theatre with success. Their rendi-
tion of plays, whether of Anglo,
Franco, Italio or Alemanic origin,
according to their program are execut-
ed in manner which stamps these
plays as the conception of the people
who have made a study of history
and nations, their passions and gen.
eral idiosyncracies in order to repre-
sent the at many times difficult char
acters which are demanded by the
various authors.
San Antonio will no doubt enjoy q
great treat in this troupe.
Roncoroni is really notable actor
by his extraordinary facilities chang
ing the various characters of his i'm
mense repertoire. Tragical and COM
ical, he has all the artistic faculties of
the q eatest American and European
artists-Booth, Irving, Coquelin, Sal
vini, Barrett-the giants OF the mod
ern theatre.

Jermy Comes at Them.

Julius Jenny, fined $50 by the re-
corder, for sending in "a false fire
alarm from box Is, says this box was
left open for two hours by the firemen
after he rang the first alarm for the
stock yards fire. He did not ring the
second alarm, and does not know who
did. The key was in the box from
the first alarm and could not be ex-
tracted and taken back to the saloon
and used a second time until the fire
chief properly closed the box. This
seems to be sufficient evidence In
itself to prove that Jenny did not send
i'm the alarm. The fire alarm system
is not as complete, evidently, as it
ought TO be. The boxes are not closed
soon enough after an alarm.
