This gigantic carbon was found by a

of Bahia. Its hardness is greater than
that of brilliant, and for this reason

Baldwin Theater.

One Of the theatrical events Of the sea-
son will be the appearance at the Baldwin
Theater tomorrow evening of Hoyt's lat
est comedy, "a Contented Woman" with
beautiful Caroline Miskel Hoyt as the star
The American playwright's latest work
is not so much given over to farce as many
OF his other plays. Like 1.-The Texas
Steer" it is a satire on certain political
practices, only instead of aiming all his
shafts at the men. Hoyt has taken a Telent-
less shy at the women this time.
The scene is laid in Denver and the
basis of the comedy is furnished by the
attempt OF two political organizations,
one male and the other female, to land a
candidate in the Mayors chair. The op-
posing candidates are husband and wife.
The husband goes out and does the saloons,
spending money right and left and making
all kinds of promises if he is elected. and
the wife looks after her Interests among
the women voters. Hoyt will personally
superintend the local production.

California Theater.

'Charley's Aunt which pays its second
visit to the California Theater tomorrow
evening, is play that has proved a gold
mine wherever it has been produced. It
has been running successfully for nearly
three years in London and is still in the
swim there. Emperor William recently
commanded private performance of the
comedy at his palace in Berlin, and La
Tante de Charley" has been quite the rage
in Paris. In Russia, Italy, South Africa
and Australia ''Charley's Aunt is sending
forth more ducats to swell the already
bloated bank accounts of its authors. In
this country the success of the faree-com-
edy is too well known to need mentioning.
The play in addition to being genuinely
funny has quintuple love interest as it
contains five well-developed love stories.
"Charley's Aunt" will only run for one
week at the California Theater. 1t will be
followed on the 11th inst. by 1.-The War of

To-morrow's production at the Alcazar
will consist of THE Crushed Tragedian,"
comedy-drama by the playwright
Byron, author of 'Our Boys" and host
of other comedies.
This play, which was a favorite with the
elder Sothern, tells dramatic story Of
life between the stage, society and a group
of adventures. The son of titled banker
falls in love with an actress, whose father
is of good family. The banker resents the
probable marriage of the young people
from his adherence of the stage, but cir
cumstances change the condition of the
lovers. The actress becomes rich and re-
nowned and the banker fails and becomes
impoverished, and the true nobility is
made manifest by the magnanimity of the
actress and her family.
One of the leading characters is strug-

engagements in metro politan theaters

he produced a consistent homogeneous
operetta.
Massenet has given a pendant to the
"Cavalleria Rustieana" in his "NaYar-
raise" which resembles Mascagni's work.
as the andiron ct the. right of a fireplace
resembles the one placed opposite it at
the left.
But when the French composer made q
snatch at Mascagni's laurels he did It
boldly and consistently. The brief plot OF
LA Navarralse" is as fierce and brutal III
its everyday realism as that of the "Cav-
alle-ia Rusticana." Massenet's music also
attaches itself to the story, follows it step
by step and echoes its violent, turbulent
coloring. The result is that the audiences
are held breathless and enchained as the
lyric drama is unrolled before them, and
though Massenet is a plagiarist in his
"episode," as he calls the Mascagnesque
production, he is repeating with it the
triumphs won by the "CaYalleria Rus
ticana.'
But Mascagni diluted with comic songs
loses all his power TO charm. His ''Cay-
alleria' is nothing if not fiery, passionate.
brutal in its intensity; and to drag it into
the same score with pleasant frothy
triviaIities is to rob the music of all it's
flavor. 1t is to be hoped that the next
time C. T. Dazy and Oscar Well compose
an opera they will decide beforehand
which branch of the lyric stage they in
tend to write for, solemnly binding them
selves not to fuctuate between regions
that are only little lower than the angels
