With the exception Of the Grove-street
Theater, where Jules Verne's THE Bot
tom of the Sea" was produced last evening.
there is nothing new on the boards of our
city theaters for holiday week. The SUBJ
marine drama drew quite crowd. and the
exceptional scenic effects were well dis
played. George P. Webster as Alexis
Banalli, Greek adventurer and the viii
lain of the time. proved himself good
melodramatic actor. He has been specially
engaged to play the part he assumes.
f. j. Holden as the second officer of the
French man-of-war, and who has charge
of the cable laying business, made good
play with the business he had IN hand.
Miss Ada Levick, the new leading lady of
this theater, was assigned the part of

succeed it. There will be no Fourth of
July matinee at this house.

You know / am poor and have to fight my

George Haswell. one Of the managers of
the Grove-street Theater, returned from
Visalia yesterday morning with quite a
numbers of mementoes Of the Evanston
tag tragedy, including the hut where the
bandits hid and some of the veritable
