The Choral society on account Of the
rapid growth in its membership finds that
the stage OF the theatre is not large enough
to accommodate the 250 people which now

modious place. The managers of the
Choral have therefore secured the free use
of the tabernacle aud the performance will
take place on the evening OF Dec 26. The
grand organ and orchestra win assist
There will be no matinee.
This change leaves New Years Day

In one of the San Francisco theatres
during the past two weeks there has been
a remarkable coincidence embodied in the
appearance in the cast of 1.-The Shaugh-
rsun" of scions of three distinguished
theatrical families. Edgar L. Davenport
is the son Of the late E. L. Davenport and
brother of the famous emotional actress,
Fanny Davenport. Aubrey Boucicault is
the son OF the late Dion Boucicault, and
his mother was also an actress, being
known to the stage as Agnes Robertson
Arthur Byron is the son of Oliver Doud
and Kate Byron and nephew Of Ada Re
han. The ancestors of all three have been
connected with the stage for generations
back and have all worked for its better
ment. All three are young, being all con-
siderably under thirty years of age. All
three have bright prospects and promise to
do honor TO the distinguished names they
bear. Their Joint appearance at The same
theatre is certainly an interesting coin CT
dence.

Roland Reed, VINO comes of theatrical
family, made his debut when baby. 1t
was the opening of the Academy of Music
in Philadelphia, when an Italian opera
company gave performance of Norma
For the chndren's roles little Roley Reed
and o baby cousin were chosen They
were enioined to lie quietly in bed with
closed eyes. The cousin obeyed, but the
future comedian was too wide awake, and
he watched the curtain rise to all accom-
paniment of weird music. A woman with
q drawn. dagger approached the bed. In
stanty the little CHAP sprang out of bed,
and the spectators saw white clad urchin
scampering for dear life across the stage
That was Roland Reeds first and last ap-
pearance in grand opera, though one of the
memorable successes of this generation
was his Koko in ''The Aiikado."

Last week Edwin Milton Royle's play of
s'F'riends" was seen at the Windsor, New

production of the piece at St. Louis Mr..
Royle had perfect ovation every night.
At the matinees fifty to hundred people
were turned away. At St. Louis and other
eastern cities matinee prices are SO cents,
which insure full houses. MIR. R. has fin

The Birth of the Butterfly, is said to be
tie most beautiful series of effects ever
displayed on the stage. 1t was generally
remarked last year that the Transformation

make the performance worth seeing, but
even those who saw that will open their
eyes when they see The Birth of the
