GRAND OPERA HoUsE.-The Streets OF
New York. which opened at the opera
house last night. drew good audience
and went with more spirit than any.
thing the stock company has under
taken. The play ia too we'll known to
need more than a mention the promis-
ing prologue with it's exchange of
money and receipt, and the drop OF the
curtain upon the corpse OF the apoplec-
tic sea captain; the six acts that follow
In which that receipt bobs up at unex.
pected times the realistic scenes among
the poor of New York, in the cold of
winter and the heat of summer; the
Vaccinations of the villain and villain
ess; the imperturbable and inpregnsble
virtues and goodness of the rest Of the
characters; the frozsn Madison Square
scene, and the wild excitemens OF the
FIRE; they were ali there in the
gorgeousness OF new scenery and
appropriate settings. The company
all did their customary conscientious
and capable work, and as Badger. Mr..
Daniel Kelley gave an extremely clever
piece of character acting; was consist
emit. original, and full OF move! business,
and the first opportunity he has had
to do anything approaching his regular
iiue of work.
The action wRe smooth and the spe-
cialties that were introduced seemed to
give satisfaction to the audience; the
gallery. indeed. was very lively all the
evening, and when the muscular Prof.
Manning appeared with his foe, Kid
O'Brien, for a friendly bout" his re-
ception was most cordial. Mr.. Benson
was conspicuous by hia absence. but if
the Streets of New York ia az popular
the rest of the week as it was last night,
Mr.. Benson will not be missed, and the
box receipts will be larger than they
have been for some time. E. M. @.
TIE BURBANK.-Darrell Vinton, in The
Count OF Monte Cristo. was the attrac-
ton presented at the Burbank last
night. 1t would be vain to cay that Mr..
Vinton creates anything for the plav or
the part he takes in it. but it is still a
fact that be pnts into the title role
enough of his individuality to awaken
and hold close interest throughout.
AS the sailor, Edmund Dantes, he did
not appear at his beat. As the Count OF
Monte Cristo he wes more satisfactory.
In the last act, where the scene is laid in
the forest of Fontainbleau, and the
famous duel scene takes place, Mr.. Vim.
ton rose to the occasion. and the audi
ence WAS carried away with the force
which he throws into the trying eitua
ton. His skill as iencer is pleasantly
apparent.
The rect of the company at the Bur.
bank 10 good and we'll cast for the play.
Miss Dorothy Ross more as Mercedes acts
we'll but her figure is so impressive es to
make dwarfs almost of the ch sracters
around her.
Yesterday was the Anniversary OF the
opening of the Burbank, Manager
Cooper prepared spread to which the
play rs and run Der OF friends of the
management and attaches sat down. Ii
was Jolly affair end the setting OF it in
tho room where the able manager is ar
ranging the nucleus OF his art gallery
made it especially attractive.
Hereafter the Burbank will be opened
on Sunday evenings as we'll aa during
the week.
Salyini hiss made q decided hit in
San Francisco, whore he opened last
night. Manager Bowler of the Bald
win sent the following dispatch to the
HERALD last night which, oven allowing
for managerial enthusiasm, shows that
he scored e eucceag:
SAN FRANCIsco, Nov. 26 -Salvini
opened his engagement bore ct the Bald
win theater tonight. All The regular
frat nighters were on hand and the best
element OF San Francisco society was
well represented. The popularity OF the
Three Guardsmen. the bill OF the even.
ing, served TO !ill the upper parts of the
house to OVERLOOKING by the largest audi.
ence the Baldwin has held for many
months. The exciting inoidenta of the
play enhanced by Salvinis naturaliem
and enthusiasm were followed and ap-
plauded by the audisnce as if it were an
entirely new work. The welcome &C
corded Salvini tonight serves but to
establish him as the unrivaled roman tic
actor OF the dnv. at least as far as San
Francisco theater-goers are concerned.
The supporting cast, which has been
strengthened since his last visit by the
acquisition OF such srtiets as Miss
Eleanor Moretti. William Harris and
john A. Lane. is perhaps moro notable
in the aggregate than that of any other
star now on tour. The scenic equip.
ment and acceasories came in for enthu-
siastic applause and was large factor
in the numerous recalls.
The crowded houses at the New
Vienna Buffet show that they appre-
ciate the talent that is placed before
them. Amman and Granville are greet
favorites and Miss Rita Cough 10 still
growing in public favor. A fine musi-
cal programme by one of the best
orchestras on the coast is one OF tns
main features.
