At Growers Alcazar.

Lord and Lady sholto Douglas appeared
again last night at the Alcazar. That is to
sey, Lord Sholto ushered Lady Douglas on the
stage, and in manly voice and with theat-
rical bow said, Ladies and gentlemen, this is
my wife, Lady Sholto Douglas" AS most every
one present knew that to be the case it created
very little applause, and Sholto left the stage
for the right wing, whence he returned not.
He was dressed in a neat evening suit, and re-
strained himself from entering the side pock-
cts, as was his inclination last week.
After his Lordship got well away from the
scene of the introduction Lady Douglas sang
"The Lily and the Rose" She is certainly i'm
proving and looked very pretty attired In
black and pink. In a few more short months,
if Sholto continues to improve as he has in the
last few weeks the Marquis of Queensberry may
yet conclude to put him back on the payroll.
Mr.. Grover intended to put on "An Honest
Grip last night, but Mr.. Hereward Hoyte was
taken ILL., so what could the poor girl do?
Tonight Gan Honest Girl will find employ
ment at the Alcazar and will continue through
the week. 1t is a three-act comedy. drama and
contains q good cast.

At Morosoo,s,

Milton MOBILES ga Son of Thespis' was pre-
sented last night at Morosco's Grand Opera
house for the first time. The scenery had
been painted entirely for the production and
was better than the average single-play
scenery, the conservatory scene being par
ticularly good.
Mr.. Mobiles considers his play legitimate
production and is happy to consider it without
situations.
In great measure this is correct, but If q
situation were introduced occasionally it
would have the effect of obliterating the pres
ence of a drag in the first part OF the play.
Latterly, however, it livens up and becomes
quite interesting.
Charles Swain, the standing comedian, can
keep his audience good-natured as the private
detective.
Dolly Mobiles. who appeared for the first time,
is a winsome and vivacious ingenue, who un-
derstands the strength of being natural and
at the same time effective.
Mr. Coulter Brinker, however, allows her to
draw him into the very ridiculous practice OF
trying to catch butterflies with tennis racket
for net. Strangely enough the butterfly is
caught with this unprofessional instrument
and Mr.. Brinker keeps right on making love
to the girl.
There is some strong dramatic work in the
production however and il will draw better
houses before it will be guilty OF failure.
The following tableaux in the first act are
excellent: Departure for the War, Night be-
fore the Battle, Sheridan's Charge, Night after
the Battle, Capture of New Orleans, Monitor
and Merrimac, Farragut at Mobile Bay, Ala
toona Pass, Gettysburg, Surrender OF Lee,
Union Forever, Star-Spanged Banner.

WIFE OF MILETUS."
1t Will Be Produced by the Downing

1t Will Be Produced by the Downing
Company I'm Athens, Greece.
A high honor has been conferred on the
Thespian aggregation now playing at the
California by T. T. Timayenis, professor
of Greek at Harvard.
Professor Timayenis is the author of a
we'll known and standard history of
Greece. His brother is at present the
Consul-General.
1.-The Wife of Miletus" is the name of a
Grecian play written by Professor Tim
ayenis, and he has made a contract with
Robert Downing to produce the tragedy at
a theater in Boston. to be provided by the
author, in the spring of 1896. The engage
ment will open the latter part of March
and continue for six weeks. The produce
ton will be under the patronage Of the
colleges.
After the Boston engagement the COM
pauy will translate itself to Greece, and
the ''Wife of NJ lletus' will be presented to
Athenian audiences. backed by the APP
prevail and patronage of the King. The
play has been done into Greek by the
author for that special occasion.
The Downing engagement is so timed as
to bring the company and the "Wife of
Miletus'' to Athens during the revival OF
the ancient Olympian games. After play
ing to the Greeks the company will visit
the principal cities OF India, after Southern
Europe, Japan, China, Australia end New
Zealand and will reach San Francisco
again after making tour Of the world.
Mr.. Downing feels highly honored by
the distinction for which he has been

stocks of goods. Before leaving they cut
off the strings Of Grundel's work-apron,
with which they no doubt tied up the
mouth of the sack that contained the plum
der.
Instead of retracing their steps through
the birdstore, where there would have been
considera BILE difficulty in reaching the high
the window in Grundel'S workshop, broke
a large pane of glass, unfastened the iron
shutters and made their escape. AT both
entrance and exit they took care to replace
the shutters SO as not to attract attention
to the premises.
There is no doubt of there being three or
possibly four burglars in the gang. Their
trail shows the presence of more than two
One must have remained on guard on the
Kearny-street sidewalk in case a police
man or Waterman should happen along.
The interior of these stores can be easily
seen from the street, as lights are kept
burning all night and the presence of in
truders would be too easily detected from
the street unless some one was on guard.
There might also have been another on
watch in St. Georges lane.
That they were experts and not anna
teurs goes without question. Their opera
tions lead to the belief that it is the same
gang which entered Muller's optical goods
store on Market street in the Phelan
building year or so ago. An entrance
was effected there by cutting a hole
through the floor of an office in the second
floor and letting one of their number down
into the store on rope.
The same class of goods was stolen then,
and none have been recovered. Henry
Kahns store at 642 Market street was also
entered in q like manner year ago and q
lot of valuables stolen. From all appear
ances the fellows do not remain in town
long after doing such job, and they never
dispose of any of the plumber in this City.
Several detectives were set to work on
the case, but the burglars covered up their
tracks too well to be discovered at once.
The thieves familiarity with all the prem
ises they have visited leads to the belief
that one or more of their number have at
some time been employed in the gas, water
or electric light companies. because repre-.
sentatives of these companies are about
the only ones who have such good oppor-
tunities to inspect the premises of all the

At THE CITY THEATERS,
Rice's "14o2' Well Received at
the Baldwin-Sholto Douglas
Talks.
cleopatra at the Colum bia-Down'
ing's Gladiator" at the Cali.
fornia.

Rice's 1892" was received with favor
last night by an audience that almost
filled the Baldwin Theater. The perform
ance is burlesque that contains some
good speciaties, but it might with advan-
tage be shorn of some of the special
features, not because they are objection
able in themselves, bat because the whole
entertainment, with the encores and the
living pictures, kept the audience in the
theater almost till the midnight hour.
"1492' has even less plot than the aver
age production of its kind. The first act
takes place in a palace in Spain, where
Ferdinand has been holding high revels
and raising an attachment on the royal
furniture to the disgust of his Daisy
Queen Isabella. This lady dispatches
Columbus to seek the new world in haste,
but her mimi changes before he is gone.
The second act represents Madison
square up to date, and consists of series
OF variety turns which have little or no
, connection with the opening part of the
play. The last act takes the audience
back to Spain, up to date.
OF the speciality artists Richard Harlow,
Bessie Bonehill and Ross Snow were the
favorites. Harlow impersonated the
strong minded Isabella in mincing swain
way that amused his hearers Bessie
Bonehill proved herself to be almost
as clever in some respects as her
older compatriot. Vesta lilly. She
sings in the dashing music hall style
and has the chic and dash of the
successful variety artist. In her DAISY"
song, in the first act, she was graceful, pic
turesque, but her impersonation of q
''chappie" in the Madison Square scene
was her most successful effort. She was
arrayed in an Immaculate dress suit and
wore her male attire gracefully. Her sing
ing Of 'The Girls" was encored repeatedly.
Ross Snow duplicated the roles of King of
Spain and modern tramp. In the latter his
acrobatic dancing and his humorous coloquy
wi III policeman endeared him exceedingly
to the gallery, and his friends up aloft were
more than loath to let his performance come
to an end. The premier danseuse, Fleurette,
showed herself 10 be an accomplished
dancer, but in accordance with the modern
and decadent taste in dancing, she INDUCED
in several contortions. not because they were
graceful but because they were difficult. The
ballet of the Six Daily Hints from Paris had
delayed little too long on the way for the
dresses of the dancers to be any revelation of
the newest thing in fashions.
One of the best features of "1492" is the dia-
logue which contains a number of clever and
spirited puns. The music is bright and there
are number of good-looking people in the
cast.
The Kilanyi pictures, introduced between
the second and third acts, are artistic in an un.
usual degree.
