AMUSEMENIS

A fine audience greeted the Pauline
Hall troupe at the Metropolitan Theater,
last night. "Dorcas," the comedy opera,
more properly the singing comedy.
scored complete SUCCESS, if applause.
encores and generous laughter indicate
the judgment OF an intelligent audience.
"Dorcas" is not great, but it is not weak; it
is not nusical surprise, but it is charm
ing musical novelty. Its numbers ripple
like clear waters over pebbly beds, or
swing in waltz cadences With grace and
beauty altogether enhancing; or they
bubble with merriment and flow with
wit. Now and then tnere are sentimental
passages that breathe softly of love and
passion, and again, there are drinking
songs that roll in rollicking and stalwart
tones from hearty throats. There is one
waltz song that will cling to the MEM
DRY OF the music lover. and CO.
quettish chess duo that one cannot
forget if he would, it is at once so witty
and so gracefully sentimental. There are
no choruses, but new trios, duos, quar-
tets, quintets and sextets, and none OF
them are other than pleasing. Indeed,
most of them the audience demanded
repetition Of. Mr.. Saylor, the tenor. and
Miss Hall, the soprano, huve each a solo,
that rises above the level OF the comedy,
and that ore numb OF marked VlgOr
and sweetness. The low comedy work is
given to Mr.. Bradshaw, capital COM
edian, whose singing quality, if he has it,
is not developed by the part; and to Miss
Davenport. whose groiesque Griselda is
one OF the cleyerest bits of character act
ing anyone might wish to see. She was
prime favorte last night ir0m the begin
ming, and provoked laughter by even the
turn OF an eyelid. Miss Hall has fine
womauly presence on the stage; of eX-
celIent figure and bearing; OF very OK
pressive and handsome counten8nce,
and she sings IN clear. resonant soprano,
more dramatic than otherse. but charm
ing withal, and possessing qualities that
are popular. She sings with feeling, I'M
ders landing and spirit, and these go far
to compensate for brilliancy. That she
is capable OF higher flights and loftier in
corporations than "Dorcas'' affords OPP
portunity for. is certain. Mr.. Saylor's
tenor is light, but sweet, clear and full of
feeling, and the same is to be said of Miss
st. Henry's soprano. Tho lady sings
with delicacy OF taste, and without effort
Or apparent oXertlOn. Mr.. Chllvers, the
baritone, has the strongest voice. and
uses il with expressive force. The other
support is equal to the demand made
upon it. The comedy is one of the mer-
riest. and the situations provokingly
Imaginable; it almost borders at times
upon suggestion of the broad. but is al
ways escaping it. All in ALL "Dorcas'
affords a delightful evenings entertain
ment, and the company singing it wins
favor instantly and deservediy. The
piece will be given again tonight, and
for the last time. The company remains
here until Saturday afternoon, when it
goes TO Marysville.

OF STRIKE RESULTS.
Pasadena STAR
That fool can destroy as easily az a
wise man can build up is sometimes made
painfully apparent. The Schmidt Litho-
graphic Company, San Francisco. have
lately had O strike in their works that in
convenienced them, because some person
had a lanCled grievance. Tho result Is
that OK tensive additions contemplated by
the firm are abandoned. They wanted to
-
factory that would have employed fifty
to sixty hands. but the strike has shown
them that they could not rely on their
workmen and they have given it up.
Last years. strike among the railroad
men cost the coast the manufacture of
several hundred cars, to build which
every preparation had been made. The
strike knocked it out, and material al
ready prepared was shipped back East
and the work done there. Still further
back some promising shoe factories were
started in San Francisco. They grew and
fIourished until strikes en- barrassed and
crippled them. Then they were aban-
doned and the money earned by them
and the employment given them left the
coast, never to return. Now the question
naturally arises: How much better Oft
are the laboring people of San Francisco
and Sacramento for driving all this en-
ployment away? They have fixed 1t
now so that the shoe factories are mostly
in the hands of Cinnamon, and if white
people want job they can apply to
them. This is one ofthe blessings OF the
strike.

If all the raisins in California were sold
for cash and the packers and buyers con-
tinued their present method OF rushing
their outputs TO market in the shortest
possible time, the inevitable glut would
occur and falling prices would be the
rule. The last condition OF the grower
would then be but little better than the
first, for with such system-or lack OF
systematic buyers would be unable to
pay living prices and production would
still be Improbable. To strike at the
