A NIGHT AT THE CIRCUS.
Nellie MoHenry in Dual Role at
California

Nellie MOHenry IN Dual Role at the
California.
The fun was fast and furious at the Cali
fornia Theater last night, when Nellie Nc
Henry opened in her comedy ga Night at
the Circus" The play is generally consid-
cred Grattan Donnelly's best, and the au-
dience entered thoroughly into the spirit of
the racy farce, with which it abounds from
beginning to end.
One of the most amusing scenes was that
where two lawyers of the Don Juan type
hold levee, in which client, ladies, wines
and the pretty typewriter are ineXtricably
mixed up. Nellie McHenry was certainly
the soul of jollity and sustained the dual
part of the twin sisters with unfagging
nerve, being equally good as Electra, the
queen of the arena, and the demure gov
erness, who gets engaged as instructress to
the three young daughters of Archibald
Bangor and does not know what in the
world to teach them except poker and bac-
carat The instructions ultimately take
the form of some very good songs and
dances.
1t is at the Temperance Hotel that Miss
McHenry instructs her pupils in the re-
quirements of polite society, including the
skirt dance. Being q stage Temperance
Hotel, of course the boarders get drunk,
and the two Don Juan lawyers commit the
added sin of falling in love with Electra.
They arrange to go to the circus, and their
jealous wives arrange to go, too, and dis
guise themselves in tights, form OF attire
to which they take kindly when they once
get used to it.
The last act, which takes place in the
dressing-room of the circus, is made the
occasion for a number of amusing and
clever turns A number of new songs and
dances have been introduced since the
play was here last, and all the parts We're
well sustained

thing. That was to help defeat those
women lawyers when they should run Tor
officen
Reid had spoken an hour. and his method
of delivery and the peculiar nature OF his
dissertation, which dealt in dry facts and
consisted largely of quotations of authorl-
ties, made the house averse to hearing any
more speeches. North of Alameda and
Bachman of Fresno were both demanding
the floor and food of the weary ones were
calling for the previous question.
In the face of an indignant but inaudible
protest from the Fresno member, who was
primed with a speech he has been conjur-
ing up the last four days, the Speaker put
the Will of the House to vote. A roar of
"Ayes" showed that they wanted the pre-
vious question, and the chair so decided.
Division, division' was called all over
the House.
Bachman was especially in earnest.
Through courtesy he had retired before the
other members of the House and now he
was to be gagged. Red-faced and earnest
he shouted for decision, and only subsidized
when Speaker Lynch came down rap, rap,
rap with his gayel and announced 1.-THE
previous question is called for. The clerk
will call the roll.'
Then another confusion arose. A gen.
eral impression prevailed that the subject
of the division and not Reid's amendment
was being voted on. An explanation was
made, but six of the Republican members
went astray and voted for the amendment.
They were looked upon as constitution
allsts" and no comment was occasioned.
But when O'Day, the Democratic member
from San Francisco, voted an emphatic
NO" thus siding with the suffragists, a
ripple of surprise and amusement swept
over the immense audience that finally
reached roar. The modest little San
Franciscan, abashed by the stir he had
created, buried his face in his paper and
did not recover his equanimity in time to
change his vote when the rollcall was fin
ished. as the Republicans did. When the
final vote was announced there was an
other outburst of applause. 1t showed
that, come what might, the victory of the
bill was assured, with several men to spare.
An immediate adjournment was taken,
the House not wishing to discuss the con-
stitutional amendment. There can be no
doubt that the constitutional amendment
will have an overwhelming majority.
Every Republican and many Democrats
are prepared to vote for the measure. 1t
will probably come up tomorrow under
the head of unfinished business.
After the House had adjourned an in
formal levee was held by the ladies who
have done so much in advancing the cause
of woman's voting. Their friends crowded
around them with congratulations, and all
are preparing for the last and great VIC
tory which they now see is inevitable.

MATTERS OF MINOR NOTE.
Trouble Over the Delay in Printing
Legislative Histories.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 11.-There is trouble
over the Senate and the Assembly his
tories. They should have appeared to-
day. They were taken to the State print
ing Office on Saturday, but will not be
ready in all likelihood until tomorrow
afternoon. When inquiry was made at
the State printing Office to-day it was
stated that large number of printers had
been discharged, and that this had been
done to satisfy the economists at the
Capitol, with the resultant delay. The
statement about the Capitol building is
that, though many old printers were dis
charged, new ones, not used to the Office,
had taken their places to-day to meet the
demands of the legislators for patronage,
and that the delay was not due to the lack
OF men, but to the change from expe-
rienced to inexperienced ones.
For over week the Assembly Commit
tee on Judiciary has been waiting for
Mayor Sutro to appear before them to dis
cuss the advisabilIty of a bill, introduced
by Cutter of Yuba, giving street-con-
tractors with lapsed contracts the right to
sue the city of San Francisco. The bill
was made to allow ]. /. Creighton to sue
for $134 900 due for grading done on Jack
son street and Van Ness avenue. The bill
was discussed to-day, but without the as
sistance of Mr.. Sutro. The committee de-
cided that the bill was too sweeping in its
phrases. As it was worded it would Law
the city liable to suits amounting to sew
eral millions of dollars. Cutter was ad-
vised to withdraw his bill and limit its
provisions.
The Contested Elections Committee has
reconsidered its action to report to the
House recommendation that the votes in
the four disputed San Francisco districts
be counted. The announcement of their
proposed action caused CONSERVATION
among several of those holding contested
seats. Their lawyers employed in the
cases called for reconsideration and
urged that the committee had no right un-
der the law to demand that the ballots be
recounted. The other arguments are not
known, but it is said that the fear
of snap counts ON the gubernatorial vote
was made a very prominent feature.
Had Mrs. Craven and Miss Murphy ap-
peared before the Committee on Educa-
ton to-day their bill would have been con-
sidered. AS it is it has been buried be-
meath a mass of other bills, and will proba-
bly, not be again brought up till all other
business has been disposed of or the ladies
demand hearing. The bin making the
kindergartens part of the school system
was reported back to the House without
comment.

COMEDY And TRAGEDY
Francesca da RiInini Draws
at tile Baldwin.
A SUCCESSFUL UNDERSTUDY.
Nellie MelIenry's Circus With New
Attractions.
LIGHTS o. LONDON" DEFY THE RAIN.
Maud Granger Begins Another Successful
Week-The Indians at M0tkWeIFS.
Little New in Vaudeville.

The Warde-James company still con-
the Baldwin, though Warde is holding up
both ends of the combination, Louis James
being again too i'll to appear.
The play was Francesca da Rimini, .
performed for the first time during the
present engagement. 1t opened somewhat
tamely, for no one has very much chance
in the first act except Lanciotto, the
hunchback The ratings of the embit-
tered cripple against the world and every
thing in it more beautiful than himself
did not give Warde. who played the role,
an opportunity of showing himself at his
best. Those lines require an actor who
shines in subtle rather than in robust de-
lineations of character.
The courtyard scene where the hunch-
back discovers from Francesca's start of
horror that she has been kept in ignorance
OF his deformity, gave Warde his real
chance of shining. He threw himself into
the passion and pathos OF the situation
with intense energy, and from that point
onward his alterations of love, jealousy,
hatred and despair were so realistic that
the enthusiasm of his audience continued
to grow till it reached full-blown cres
the fifth act.
This scene, when the sister tells the
hunchback of his wife's infdeEty and his
brothers faithlessnesS, so wrought upon
the hearers that they recalled the star of
the evening time after time, and at last
wrung from him the following speech:
Ladies and gentlemen, the heart is
often eloquent when the lips are silent. l
thank you for your kind consideration and
appreciation.
Louis James understudy, John NJ.
Hickey, distinguished himself in the part
of the Jester. In the first scenes he was
light and airy, as a high-comedy jester
should be, and when the hunchbaek's S
taunts and insults had goaded him on to
turn spy and traitor he acted with force
and earnestness. His work contributed
not little to the success of the fifth act,
in the middle of which he was warmly APP
plauded and recalled.
Miss Edythe Chapman looked charming in
the medieval dress of Francesca da Rimini
and she interpreted the role of the ILL
fated heroine with a pretty girlish tender
ness and pathos that proved more effective
than if she had essayed a heavier rendering
of the role. Miss Elizabeth Bouton acted
like a clever little soubrette, but she was
very modern Rita. Guy Lyndsley as
Paolo was graceful and effective, the
scene between the lovers in the fifth act
being especially good. Most OF the minor
characters were well sustained, though
Ernest Warde samewhat overdid the senil-
ity of the cardinal, who danced rather
than tottered across the stage.

The Alcazar.

After elaborate preparations the Alcazar
Theater presented THE Lights o. London
