CHURCH OF THE UNITY.-On next
Sunday evening, April 9th. under
the auspices OF the ladies of the
worth of Boston, assisted by members of
the League and Legion, will give very
unique entertainment. Mr.. Wentworth
comes highly recommended by the eastern
press and public wherever he has ap-
peared. The Oakland papers in speaking
of the entertainment given at the Congre-
gational church i'll that city assisted by
Prof. Wentworth, says: "His rendition OF
the Chariot Race from Ben Hur, was ex-
cellent. showing Prof. Wentworth to be
master of elocution and impersonator OF
character. The concluding selection,
Eandalphon, the Angel of Prayer, was
beautifully carried out by number OF
young ladies dressed in flowing robes of
white, their hair hanging, and around
their heads they wore the simple Grecidn
band. They all looked lovely and with the
assistance of Prof. Wentworth, who re-
cited that beautiful poem from Longfel-
low. the effect with the colored lights was
beautiful" The closing number in the
programme to be given here is Sandal
phon, and will certainly be produced with
verypleasing effect.
BURBANK THEATER.-Thisw week
Humbug will be the attraction. 1t was
written by Fred Marsden, a well-known
author and received a thorough intro
duction to American audiences by the
well-known eccentric comedian, Roland
Reed. A certain Bill Bartz, the son of a
German shoemaker, has been working for
the wealthy jackson Luster and on his
departure for India, sets himself up as
the son who has been lost some years
previous. There is a gushing widow,
who claims to have been the wife OF an
English nobleman, but who in reality is
the daughter of a wealthy Cincinnati
pork packer. The widow is looking for a
blue -blooded husband, and Bartz, as Lus-
ter, is seeking money. The widow has
brother who is a gambler and lives on
her bank checks. There is an inquisitive
old Judge and his wife; the thick headed
honest German shoemaker and other in
quistive characters who tend to increase
the complications. Luster marres the
widow and draws on the bank account,
and the brother, during one of his de-
mands, declares his identity and kills
the goose that laid the golden
egg. The aged Luster returns
from India, and his real son appears on
the scene, The muddle becomes a tri-
angular one and the judge, in endeavor-
ing to straighten it OUT becomes involved
in quarrel with his spouse. The elder
Bartz demands immunity for his silence,
and through ignorance increases the COM
plication. Young Bartz, as Jack Luster,
is finally cornered and compelled to con-
fess. but it has been an equal case OF
humbug by both himself and the widow.
and the old man forgives the masquerade.
Mr. Eldridge, who essays the role of Jack
Luster, starred in the character for sew
eral seasons and should give very cred
ible presentation. AS the gushing Widow
Posby, Miss Nannary will have an excel
lent opportunity to display her light
comedy aOnlty anu wear numDe OF
costly dresses. In the second act she will
display the white and gold robe she Sc

ORPHEUM. This house is again to the
front with brilliant vaudeville bill for
the coming week that promises to eclipse
anything in the speciality line ever seen
in this city. The new bill fairly teens
with sparkling features, and is replete
with novelty acts.
One of the leading attractions will be
King Kalkasa, an oriental equillbrist and
juggler. whose feats of balancing surpass
