Grand Opera-House.

Tomorrow night the popular pair of
Thespians, Milton and Dollie Mobiles, COM
mence the second and last week of their
engagement at the Grand in a production,
new to San Francisco, entitled For Rev.
enue Only" This is said to be one of the
best things MOBILES has yet written. it is
pure comedy, satire on all that is des-
picable in our American politics.
Milton MOBILES himself will impersonate
one Tom Knowall, "a reporter, space
writer and all-round liar-for revenue
only"
Dollie Mobiles plays the leading role of
Rose Merrywin, in which she has won
laurels in Eastern States. There are
almost a score of other characters dis
tributed among the various members of
the houses company. The satire on po-
litical chlcanery is said to be drawn with a
free yet genial hand.

time in this City. This play is the work of
Victorien Sardou and has been ranked with

standpoint. Morally and dramatically it
is said to be superior.

Theatrical posters are supposed to de-
pict the attractions of play in colors all
too alluring; the object of the advance
agent being to decoy the public into his
show, and let them find out when they get
there that things are not always what they
seem. Robert Downing, however, has set
a new and beautiful example of self-ab-
negation in enlivening the town with some
posters that would make his most fervid
admirer pause and think twice before pur-
chasing tickets for, say "Ingomar and
Parthenia." Downing runs to adipose
tissue, and this personal characteristic Is
accentuated and exaggerated in several of
his posters to a painful degree. The ''In-
gomar and Parthenia" work in particular
makes havoc with the appearance of the
portly Robert, and also causes admirers of
the graceful and charming Eugene Blair
to murmur, "Oh, that this too, too solid
flesh would melt" In fact, the picture is
libel on Mrs. Downing, and it is rough
on the tragedian.
Why is it that adipose tissue and trag-
edy are supposed to be utterly incompat-
ible2 Woe has been known to make peo-
pie take on flesh, and some noted COM
mentators on Shakespeare have contended
that Hamlet, the prince of tragic heroes,
was really of a fabby feshy mien. In
spite of these facts people will always lis
ten with cruel lack of conviction not to
say skepticism, to the tragic sufferings of a
lady or gentleman of rotund proportions.
In concession to this sentiment, if not in
the interests of pictorial art, Robert Down.
ing should suppress those eff1orescent
posters, and if he could incidentally bant a
little he would not detract from his pres
ent undoubted success.
''1492' at the Baldwin has evidently hit
the public taste. Rice's comedians are
good enough to stand on their own merits
and the burlesque they play has some
funny features, particularly the dialogue
but the popularity of 1892" depends to
some extent on the fact that good bur-
lesque companies are expensive to take on
tours and do not cross the Rockies every
day.
Miss Lillian Lewis name will never be
handed down to poster1ty as an ideal
Cleopatra. At the Columbia Theater she
surrounded herself with beautiful stage
settings, but all her filmy gauzes, all her
diamonds, all her embroidered mantles
did not for a moment give Miss Lillian
Lewis the temperament to play Egypt's
black-browed Queen. She was altogether
too banal, too joviaI, too modern. The
feline Orientalism, the pride of birth and
race and the languid voluptuousness of
Cleopatra were evidently unknown guam
titles to her. She went dashingly through
her lines, in a style that was always up to
date, and was sometimes demi-mondaine
but she never for moment escaped from
the atmosphere of the end fthe nineteenth
century. Indeed, there was something
grotesquely modern in few of Cleopatra s
actio ms; the way, for instance, in which
she thumpeG Mark Anthony on his manly
breast and cried good" when she heard

WAs 4 nUNco sw1NDnER.

Westport, May 21.-Coroner Doten made an investigation into the death of the man who died suddenly in this place yesterday afternoon and is sat isfied that the deceased was a bunco sharper and that he was on a swindllng trip through the state, instead of a weeks cross country trip, as his com panion stated. The identity of the man has not yet been established.
 Two men drove through the town yesterday afternoon and when opposite the residence of George Williams their team was run into by one driven by George Ferris of this place. The men became greatly excited and it is said one tried to pull a revolver. As he was in the act he gasped and fell back dead.
 His companion told the authorities that the dead mans name was Daniel Simpson and that he lived at 327 Third avenue, New York. This morning Cor oner Doten made thorough examina- tlon of the effects found in the car riage of the dead man. He found two tin boxes such as are used by bunco dealers, containing three packages. Each package was marked $5,oO0 The packages were comprised mostly of pasteboard and newspapers, but on the outside of each were some genuine greenbacks. All told there were S16S, of good money, in the packages, which were supposed to contain $15,O00. The coroner also found packages of news papers containing notices of farms for sale in different parts of Connecticut.
 The companion of the dead man skip ped out last night, and no trace of him can be found. The name Daniel Simp- son has been found to be fictitious. No such person lives at that address in New York.

over the Canadian Pacific to Alaska.

The magnificent scenery of Alberta and British Columbia lying upon the line of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the picturesque fjords, glaciers and mountains of Alaska and the North Pa- cific coast, and the scenic wonders of the Northern Pacific route with the Yellowstone National Park as a. climax form a combination of grand features surpassing anything the whole world else has to offer; and when all these may be included in a single tour of only 8 little over six weeks, the summer pleasure seeker has little left to desire Messrs. Raymond & Whitcomb will send out two parties of tourists over this matchless route in July, the dates of leaving being Tuesday, July 2, and Tuesday, July 16 The journeys across the continent will be made in the most comfortable manner possible, with pal ace sleeping cars and dining cars, and the Alaska voyage will be made on the favorite steamer Queen" A circular giving full details of these and other at tractive tours will be sent on applica- tion to Messrs.
