Western life TO San Francisco audiences.
and we hope 1t will not be the last. To
those who are unfamiliar with the plot
few words on the subject will not be amiss.
The story opens Oh the Great American
Desert in l649. Zeke Stevens (Joseph X.
Grismer) is the guide for caravan of emil
grants. and Chi5Da, who is mere child, and
ner parents are among the number of the
party who have survived the hardsbips of
the travel and shortness Of water and pro-
visions. Abraham Fairfax (Mr. Weir aud
Jim D0wney (Mr. King take advantage of
Zeke's absence to steal away with the only
horse, carrying with them the papers which
prove Chispa to be heiress TO a snug for

up a rugged but honest prayer for relief,
which arrives in time TO save himself and

Tom Karl and the Dwarf.

Tom Karl, the tenor of the Bostonians,
got himself into rather embarrassing mis-
understanding last summer while in New
York. He had been down to the MARI
borough Hotel TO see a friend, and while
coming downstairs in the elevator in a
playful way patted little girl on the head
and chucked her under the chin. To his
surprise the little girl was angry. and ORDER
ing the elevator stopped got off at once.
Later, when Kari and his friend went up 10
the desk in the Office, the friend was called
up by the clerk aud told that Mr.. Karl had
been complained of for Insulting one of the
ladies of the house Karl of course came
up and tried to explain, ana finally cleared
things up. The little grr' whom he had
affeetionately caressed was Miss Selma
Goerner, the very dignined and sedate little
prima donna of the LiIliputians.

Mr.. and Mrs. James Garden made very
creditabe exposition of the beneficial effect
of the stage training received at their
school of Oratcry and dramatic art at the
Bjou performance Oh Friday evening last.
The occasion was the debut Of Mile Rosetta
la Faille, a fayorite eleve, in Schiller's
MARY Stuart, supported by other pupils
of the Garden school. Miss la Faille as
sumed. of course, the role of the unhappy
Queen, bore herself beeOminglY in her mis-
fortune and read her lines intelligently,
albeit her utterance was marred by pro-
nounced cold. In justice to herself the per-
formapce ought TO have been postponed till
her physical condition was better adapted
TO the work before her. The interview in
the garden at Fotheringay Castle was man
aged with nice discretion. Sometimes the
Queens in the act forget the situation and
their dignity aud scold each other like
fish-wives. But on this occasion, while
the tongues OF both Elizabeth and Mary
were blistered by burning words, the
royal wranglers had certain dignity
in their wrath. Mrs. James Garden
played Elizabeth with all the fire. force and

haired viTago. In makeup. form and feature
she was striking portrait of the virgin
Queen. Besides Mile la Faille, James Car
den Jr. also made his debut as Sir Edward
Mortimer, nephew Of Sir AmyaS Paulet

with the Scottish Queen that he eSsayed to
deliver her from the feline claws of the
