rule, are fully as strong as those which sup
ported her. Whether Miss Lewis herself is as
good Cleopatra as Fanny in6god Davenport 4,C
nights. performance. She may be, bet
ter, she may be not so good, or
worse, to those who care not for the spectacular
in tragedy. But she suffered from severe
cold last evening which rendered her voice
hoarse and her words thick, sometimes almost
to the point of incoherency.
She evidently was not well, though she
played the part through as carefully and pains
takingly as if her words were clear and strong.
To the eye alone nothing was lacking in the
entire performance. The ballet-girls excel in
form end grace rather than in numbers. The
costumes are glittering, gorgeous even-if not
absolutely correct IN detail. Cleopatra herself
was as charming to look upon any Of the
beautiful spectacle. Chairman and 1ras, es-
sayed respectively by Jennie Remark and
Noll Christina Hill, are both handsome women,
and the former spoke her sprightIy lines in the
hrst act with great clearneSs OF enumeration
and yet with naturalness and much spirit.
George Vessels, Enobarbus, won de.
served applause by his vivid descriptions OF
Egypt and Cleopatra TO his friends in Rome.
Mr.. Vessels is a good Shakespearean actor,
following closely the lines laid down by Ham
let. Edmund Collier, as Mark Antony, seemed
also to be suffering from cold to some ex-
tent. He made as dignifed Roman as
Antony was, however, and carried well the
burden of his part. Frank Armstrong was
equally as good Caesar.
1t detractS nothing from the performance to
say that its strongest point lies in the spectacu-
lar effects. These are artistic and fiattering 10
all the sensuous perceptions. Cleopatra's
barge is thing OF beauty, as is Cleopatra's
royal robe of gold and purpie-as Is, in truth,
her own well-rounded outlines but lily con-
cealed by gauzy draperies that are not meant
to hide them altogether. The closest atten-
ton appears to have been paid to the
smallest details in this presentation, and it is
doubtful If Henry Irving himself stages his
plays with greater carefulness and power. If
all the acting were as good as the scenic effects
the presen tation would be perfect, for the eye
finds nothing lacking. AS it is, CLEOPATRA
as presented by Miss Lillian Lewis and COM
pany, under the direction of Lawrence Mars
ton, makes performance that one ought to
see. The most exacting person will hardly be
disappointed even in the acting and the speak
ing of the lines.

At the California,

Robert Downing in ''The Gladiator" at the
California last night drew a pretty good house.
OF course the Gladiator is ole enough by this
time to take advantage of an old Roman Gus
tom and turn the job over 10 one of his soEs,
but he is able to do battle with years as well as
strong men.
Mr.. Downing, according to rules laid down
by Eugene Sando~ Cloth bound 81 50) is a
little too heavy in the paunch to put up good
contest with man in the pink of condition,
but nevertheless he handles the part with con-
siderable vigor and style.
Eugene Blair as Neodamia was good. Her
conception of the part at the present time
shows not only study, bat great improvement
over her performance last year. Mrs. f. M.
Bates, well known to San Francisco first
nighters appeared as Faustina and was quite
up 10 the part.
Edwin Ferry and Charles NJ. Collins are able
supporters of Mr.. Downing who seems to un-
derstand the art of surrounding himself
with a good cast. This sort of consci-
entious theatrical work deserves to sue
coed and does. His stage settings and
costumes are quite effective, alth ough they are
not of the latest Redfern or Bell pattern. These
people would not have made much of hit in
Rome, anyhow.
Mr.. Downing and his company will present
Tuesday and Saturday evenings, Julius
Cesar; Wednesday evening and Saturday
matinee, "Othello," and Friday evening, ''In-
gomar, the Barbarian" in which he is excel
lent.

Their Last Job Was on Kearny Street
and Neither Iron Nor Brick
Distracted.

A very clever and well executed burg
larry was committed on Sunday night or
early yesterday morning on Kearny street

THEN way into three stores, fastened the
street doors on the inside, plundered the
premises at their pleasure and escaped
with between $1,000 and $500 worth of
property.
The victims are Hirsch & Kahn, manu-
featuring opticians, at 1888 Kearny street );

EUGENE n. DEUPREY
Attorneys for defendant.
Dated Dec. 8, 1895.

1t was necessary to file this notice within
ten days from the date of the denial of the
motion for new trial, and of the sentence
else the right of appeal would be held as
waived and Durrant would hang upon the
day set by the trial Judge. AS it stands
now the fixing of the day will be only a
form, for Durrant's case will go before the
Supreme Court. and until his appeal has
been heard and passed upon he cannot be
hanged.
The settlement of the bill>of exceptions
will be next in order. 1t will be most
tedious piece of work and will take months
pro bably, but not until it is settled can the
appeal be taken. Then the Supreme Court
must give its judgment.
