g The White Star.u

Morosco's opened last night with "The White
STAR" performed for the first time in America
1t was extremely well staged and proved to be
full of incident and interest, as it held the
audience on the qui vive all through.
Alice Condor, child years DID, repre-
scented little boy, playing the part very nat
urally and prettily. Much of the interest OF
the play turns on the shooting this child by
the villain, who tries to fasten the guilt on the
hero, the child's half-brother, who is captain
of the White Star.
Miss Hall returned to her role of the dis
tressed wife, in which she has had so much
practice as to be perfect. The other parts were
well sustained, particularly that OF Miss Henry,
who is very engaging in soubrette parts. The
new villain, Fred Butler, is an improvement
on Mr.. Holden, who was wanting in refine
ment and had some unpleasant mannerisms.
Some of the most telling scenes take place on
the deck of an Atlantic steamer. The ship is
wrecked, and when the curtain fell on the pas
sengers being picked up by a Cunarder it had to
be raised six times, and then left the house in
a Juror. The appearance of the little ragged
stowaway, the half-brother of the captain,
reused the most intense excitement.

this side of the bay than that of Friday
evening, and on Thursday morning, when
the box-office will open, those who come
first will be first served with seats.
The dainty little Romeo, clad all in
white satin and gold, will sing his sweetest
songs and wed Juliet, towering above him
and wearing bridal costume, made of
bicycle boomers of white, with a white
veil and orange blossoms.
Juliet, in her wedding clothes, and
trundling bicycle may presage the end
of the century bride, and this hit of the
merry makers may not be far-fetched.
The Friar will sing the Holy City -Capu-
let will scold; Mercutio and Tybalt will
fight; the torchlight procession will march,
and the beautiful serenade will be sung by
the chorus; the Apothecary and Nurse
will sing and dance, and all will please
and satisfy on Friday just as in Oakland a
for acharity that appeals to the best in
stincts of every one.

progress, as related by his Justly proud and
delighted parents, shows the early birth of
his artistic genius and his close devotion to
his chosen muse.
At the age of eight he had already begun
to use pencil and paper to give vent to his
latent talent by drawing sketches of every
thing that appealed to his sense of the ar
tistic. This at once attracted the attention
of his father, Jules F. Pages, well-known
engraver of this city. 1t was not thought
ANYTHING unusual, but simply that his tai
ent for drawing came to him by heredity.
He was taken under the tuition of shis
father and until he was Is years of age fol-
lowed his pursuit. Then he took up the
drawing of illustrations for the daily news
papers, his first work of this character be-
ing done for the CALL. He renamed on
the staff of the CALL for two years, and
then proceeded to Paris, where he re-
NAMED for two and half years continu-
ing his studies, but combining his labors

Elysees, which will be opened to the public
on May 1, will be Jules E. Pages of this
City. His picture is catalogued as "Coin
de Cuisine a Montmartre" Corner in a
Kitchen at Montmartre). 1t depicts a man
man bending over kitchen range engaged
in cooking, surrounded by the usual
utensils of a French kitchen. 1t is re-
ported from the French capital that the
work shows talent of high order.
Pages, who is but q years of age, is well
known in both local art and newspaper
circles, and has always been looked upon
as having most promising art future
before him, although he never dipped
lush in oil till year ago in Paris, his
ork till then having been entirely con-
fined to black and white, mostly drawings
for illustrating purposes.
The history of his art education and

the publishers of Harper's Magazine and
by Herbert Ward. The latter was particu.
larly importunate in endeavoring to induce
Pages to illustrate his book on the canni-
balls of the Congo, written after his return
from Africa with the Stanley expedition.
But all such alluring invitations have been
declined, as he is bent on continuing his
art studies. He bears the distinction OF
being on the art staff of LIE Monde Illustre
of Paris, and is the only American who
has ever been accorded such position.
His parents look for his return to this
City about the latter part of June. The
salon will not close until the Both of May,
and he does not want to leave Paris with
out bringing his successful picture with
him.
What he will do when he comes ba ok to
San Francisco he has not yet determined,
according to the letters received by his
parents, but the latter expect that he will
decide when he is again at home.

Success of "The American
Grip at the California
Theater.
WHITE STAR" AT M0ROsC0's.
Offenbach's "Brigands" at the Tiv-
oli-The Orpheum's Equi-
librists.

George Osbourne's production of 1.-THE
American Grip as the California Theatar
last night was successful one. Grattan
Donnelly's comedy-drama contains num-
Der of parts that are worthy of finished act
ing, it is true, and the all-round cast might
have been much better, but the excellence
of some of the principals went long way
toward compromising for the shortcomings
of some of their weaker brethren.
Every ones astronomical observations
showed that George Osbourne and little
Nina Cook were the stars of the largest
magnitude in the dramatic armament at
the California last night. Osborne's i'm
personation of Ross Bolter, the impetuous
American impresario, is already familiar
to San Francisco audiences, but such a
finished, vivacious piece of acting is not
likely to pail upon the public.
Nina Cook showed delightful grace and
pathos as the child Virginia. The way in
which her sweet little song broke down
into sobs was piece of artistic acting that
grown-up artists might have envied. The
other child was also clever.
Miss Adele Belgrade, whose part seldom
allowed her to be without tears In her
| eyes, played the American Girl conscien.
tiously She seemed to have the too com
mon idea, however, that an injured
heroine, who has known better days, must
accentuate her gentility while under mis-
fortune by being almost ver-genteel and
! refined in manner and speech. However
the role was by no means an easy one to
play and in parts Miss Belgrade showed
considerable abandon. Carl Birch made a
good villain, and Paul Craig was effective
as James. though Charles Wyngate might
have made more of the long-lost husband
Laura S. Howe sang sweetly and acted
with chic and spirit as Twister, but Miss
Dora HARDWOOD showed a lack of dignity
and ease as the countess, which made one
wonder whether the Earl of Derward had
married in his own sphere. Taking the
performance altogether, however, it went
smoothly and the interest was thoroughly
well sustained throughout.

FOR THE FLOWER SHOW.
Roses Without Number Will Be
Exhibited in the Palace
Hotel.
Visitors VIII Be Entertained With
Music and Songs During the
Evenings.

The preparations for the California State
Floral Society's eleventh semi-annual
exhibition and rose show, which will be
held in the Palace Hotel on May 2, 8 and A.,
were completed by the committee of
arrangements at their meeting yesterday.
The committee, which consists of Pro-
lessor Emory E. Smith, Mrs. Austin
Sperry, Mrs. Helen A. A. Cross Mrs Amos
Mccartney and Mrs. Orville d. Baldwin,
has labored hard to make the show the
finest ever held in this City. Letters from
those who will exhibit flowers have been
pouring in by every mail until it is feared
that for all the 5000 feet of space at their
disposal there will be no room to spare.
Special attention will be paid to the deco
ration OF the marble and maple halls and
both apartments will be in fact bowers of
roses
Wild flowers will also be features of the
show. Yesterday the judges of the flowers
who will award the prizes for the best
exhibits were selected, but their names
will not be made public at the present
time. The new feature of musical enter
tainments during the evenings promises to
be very popular. Special pains have been
taken in the selection of the programme.
All the artists are well known, and they
have volunteered their services. Follow
ing will be the programmes for the three

Venetian Water Carnival.

The chief attraction this week at the Circus
Royal and Venetian Water Carnival is a
NEUROLOGICAL production under the direction
of John A. Stanton and Amedee Joullin, the
well-known artists of San Francisco. These
gentlemen have brought together series of
tableaux that have never been equaled in San
Francisco. The main features are "The Birth
of Venus" "Perseus and Andromeda," "Lib-
erty Enlightening the World" and the Living
Fountain" The ELECTRICAL chemical and phys
zeal effects are certainly magnificent and re-
feet great credit on the genius of the authors,
the result being artistic in every sense of the
tensely interesting, bright and artistic, and is
rapidly falling into popular favor. Among
those present last night were: Mr.. and Mrs.
Herman Oelrichs, Miss Virginia Fair, Raphael
Wiel and family, General Forsyth and party,
including Major Bates, Major Wilson, Major
Bell and Colonel Beugard.

Naturally, his parents are more than
gratified by the honors already achieved
by their talented son, and preserve with
great care some of his earlier work, a
specimen of which, pen and ink sketch
of remarkable artistic merit, is reproduced
in these columns.
Pages pere is also possessed of consid-
cradle artistic talent with the brush, as
we'll as with the graver. Several of his
productions have found grace in the eyes
of our local art critics and have adorned
the walls of the rooms of the Art Associa-
ton. When called upon at his home yes
terday he was found seated before a can
vas, which he explained had been exhibited
in the Art Association some years ago and
which he was retouching to remove the
traces of dust which had accumulated.

cast, at the Baldwin Theater in this city, on
Friday evening of this week, for the bene-

The TiVoli.

Ofenbach's bright little opera, "The Brig
ands," opened last night at the Tivoli, most of
the stock company beirg in the cast.
Hartman as Pietro made the most of his role,
as usual though he was suffering from hoarse-
ness. Oracle Plaisted was not given an oppor-
tunity to show herself at her best as the brig
and's daughter, as the role was. rather serious
for her. However, Tillie Sallinger appeared
again in boys part and succeeded in it.
Raphael made the most of a small part, and
Branson was in his element aa the brigand
chief.
The orchestra was good, as usual, and the
choruses were up to the mark, the one "Give
Us Bread" being particularly successful.

0rphaum.

An entire change of programme greeted the
large audience which assembled at the Or
pheum last night. Possibly the best attraction
of the evening came in Constant an Ida, the
phenomenal equilibrists. They do some
wonderful tricks, and are certainly the best in
their line that have appeared in San Francisco
in some time. Mcbride and Flynn, the Irish
comedians, continue to please the people,
while the popularity of that sweet singer, Miss
Tillie Morrisy, gives no evidence of waning.
AS whole the programme offered this week is
good one and will doubtless prove drawing

THE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion 80
Hand in Hand.

Concentrated thought, continued In, rubs
the stomach of necessary blood, and this is
also true of hard physical labor:
When a five horse power engine is made
to do ten horse power work something is
going to break. Very often the hard
worked man coming from the field or the
Office will "bolt ;" his food in few min
utes which will take hours to digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as keg of nails would be in a
fire under boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses 10 do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready
to break because they do not get the
uourishment they require from the blood,
finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at
tempts to find rest in bed.
The application Of common sense in the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy man the full en-
joyment of life and healthy digestion when
he takes DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve bilious stomach or after too
hearty meal, and DR.. Pierce's Golden
vitalize the blood. The Pellets are tiny
sugar coated pills made of highly concen.
trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be taken
for a short ,ime TO cure the biliousness,
constipation and slothfulness, or torpor, Of
the liver; then the Medical Discovery ~
should be taken in teaspoonful doses to in.
crease the blood and enrich it. 1t has q
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
Of the stomach and bowels toning up and
strengthening them for all time. The
whole system feels the effect of the pure
blood coursing through the body and the
1erves are vitalized and strengthened, moi
deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called
celery compounds and nerve mixtures do
--but refreshed and fed on the food they
need for health. If you suffer from indi
gestion, dyspepsia, nervousness, and any
Of the ills which come from impure blood
and disordered stomach, you can cu,l
yourself with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery which can be obtained at any
drug store in the country.
