reopened, after having been so reno
vated and improved as to virtually be a
new theater. Manager Wyatt has se-
cured for the opening event Miss jeff
ries Lewis, supported by the Stockwell
Theater company, of San Francisco.
Miss Lewis is now at her best. She has
never been go charming physically as at
present, and her art is more than ever
|, fascinating and powerful. In portray
ing female villain she has no equal,
but she fills her roles with SO much that
is beautiful and sympathetic that not a
repellsnt point is observable.

The attraction at the Grand opera
house, for three nights engagement,
commencing October 9th, will be the
popular Irish comedian. DanI Sully,
who will present his successful play,
The Millionsire, in which he made such
hit here last season. In this play, as
the true-hearted IrishAmerican, Mr..
Sully is provided with the beet char

his sterling ability as an actor.

Ii popularity is to be regarded as a
! criterion of merit, then the palm must
be awarded to The Stowaway, which
will appear at the Los Angeles theater
on Thursday and Friday, as it has proved
to be one of the most popular dramatic
productions in many years. The scenery
| to be shown this time is entirely new,
the famous yacht scene being a wonder
full example of the scenic-painter's art.
"Spike" Hennessey and "Kio" Mccoy,
the duo of celebrated safe-blowers, who,
as is we'll known, are now thoroughly re-
formed, burglarize real safe with neat
ness and dispatch born OF long expert
ence.
NOTES.
Helen Barry, it is said, will not 90 a
starring this season. She is as wise as
she is big and fat.
Richard Neville and Percy Gaunt have
finished musical comedy called One of
| the Boys, which is to be heard this sea-
son.
Mr.. Smart Robson's son who was
born abroad few months ago, was
| christened David Morton Robson last
week in the Church Of st. Vincent de
Paul, New York.
Joe Reynolds may take the ''Baron-
ess" Blanc on tour through the coun-
try. if the lady of high degree gives a
doube-clsd guarantee that all salaries
will be paid when the burst-up comes.
Johnstone Bennett, of Jane fame, is
the daughter of the sea, born on ship
board and left orphaned early in life.
She was first adopted by Mrs. Bennett,
and later on by Mrs. Johnstone ;
hence the name. She still walks on the
streets as if she was on board ship.
With the celebration OF Columbus, the
arch fraud and hypocrite of all times,
many things curious come to light. Last
week map was discovered which it is
thought Shakespeare referred to in the
second scene of the third act of Twelfth
Night, where Maria says o. Malvolio: /:
He does smile his face into more lines
than are in the new map with the aug
mentation of the Indies" Perhaps!
''Dear old London" last week had
20 theaters closed, and things theatrical
are mighty slow in that neighborhood.
