VIE MAY SEE Her AS JULIET
MISS MARIE BURROUGHS WILL
PROBABLY PLAY SHAKE
SPEARE HERE.
HOYT STILL WITH Us-ALL THE
THEATERs DONG WELL
THIS WEEK.

Miss Marie Burroughs is making a de-
cided impression with the audiences of the
Baldwin by her performance of Vashti in
Judah" She plays the part with intelli-
gence and ease, and her beauty and grace
add materially to the charm of the per-
Torrance. Judah" will be played during
the remainder of the week and on Sunday
| night also, when benefit will be rendered
Louis A. Morgenstern, the treasurer and
| assistant manager of the house. Miss Bur-
| roughs' engagement here has been SO
gratifying and successful that it is quite
| possible that she will play at the Baldwin
again after her coast tour is completed,
when she will present Romeo and Juliet. u
If that is so San francisco will be honored
with Miss Burroughs first appearance in a
Shakespearean role.
Next Monday night 1.-THE Fencing
Master" one OF the latest operas by De
Koven and Smith, will be seen at the
Baldwin. The company is headed by Miss
Dorothy Morton, clever actress and a
good vocalist, who ,f has made great hit in
the leading role. The music of 1.-THE Fenc-
ing Master" is as catchy and tuneful as
any one can desire, and is, at the same
time, good music. The latter part and the
finale of the second part are quite sugges-
tive of grand opera and call for some really
hard and accurate work from all the mem
bers of the company. The chorus has been
picturesque and rich. AS for the principals,
very few comic opera companies take the
road SO well equipped in this respect
David Terrence, who sings the part of
Fortunio, has rich barytone voice which
he uses well. William Stephens, the tenor,
has been heard in comic opera for good
many years. The two comedians, Oscar
Girard and A. Al. Holbrook, are clever and
amusing.
There is no diminution in the houses at
the California Theater, where "a Temper
ance Town. still holds the boards. This is
the last week of Mr.. Hoyt's comedy, aud
on Monday night Miss Emily Bancker will
Flat"
"Humpty Dumpty' and the "Black
Crook" pleased another large audience at
Stockwell's last night. Both pieces are
full OF clever specialties. The dancing is
particularly good.
the Charles Riggs Company at the Alcazar,
has made a hit. 1t is well handled by the
company. Beginning Monday next the
sensational society Drama 1.-The Froth of
Society,"" will be the bill. 1t is play on
the order of "The Second Mrs Tanoue-
ray" The theme is bold, but it is handled
with exceeding delicacy, and it is good
example of dramatic construction. The
same play was seen in this city before, but
never at popular prices. 1t will be pre-
sented by the entire company.
At the Tivoli "Girohe-GiroHa" is doing
well. "Nanon" will be sung on Monday
night.
All of the speciality people at the Or
pheum have made hit, and the house is
! crowded every night.
"Pocahontas" is the programme at the
Wigwam where many people are pleased
at every performance.
GA Temperance Town" will be played
for three nights, commencing Monday, at
the Marlborough Theater, Oakland. The
attractions to follow are 1.-THE Fencing
Flat"
SIN the Ranks" is crowding Morosco's
Grand Opera-h house every night. The per-
Torrance is one of the most creditable ever
given at this house.
