The Tivoli is playing 'The Mikado." 1t
has been given several times in this city
with company more or less efficienr. but

the applause of the audience.

when the production Of MAINE and
Georgia" is made. Jack is one of our

A. the Wigwam last evening, after the
audience was dismissed. a private re-
hearsal Of the native dances of the hula
| hula girls was given to an assemblage of
| newspaper men that for numbers would
| have made an average audience. The girls
! danced the best they knew how, but there
was nothing attractive in their movements.
! 1t was case of travellers stories being
| brought to the actually, and the cOnse-
| quence was a general feeling of disap-
| pOintment.
The benefit rendered to Ferdinand Urban
at StockwelPs Theater tomorrow after
noon promises to be substantial success.
! Urban, as has already been stated, lost all
of his earthly possessions at the recent
! Page-Street fire. and as he has been well
! known in San Francisco for years as one
ready al any moment to respond to any
charitable project, his friends are now
ready to assist him.
The best talent in the city has voiun-
teered. Members of the Thatcher COM

Liddiard, Ferris Hartman, Phil Branson
and George Olmi will represent the Tvoll.

line, the Hawaiian hula-hula girls and

Dickman will be funny in the approved
| Bohemian Club fashion. and Nathan
| Landsberger will play the violin, this part
of the entertainment being under the d.
rection OF II. j. Stewart. George Z. Lask
manages the stage and Adolph Bauer di-
reefs the musicians.

"Queena" is being very well played at
the National; but with an objectionable
oversight on the part of the management
the name of Miss Lizzie Lingham is re-
tanned on the bills; while she, being ill,
her place as Mrs. Monirose is being taken
! by Miss Amy Stone. If this place of
amusement is expected to succeed there
must be moro attention paid to detail
