AT THE THEATERS'

Los ANGELES THEATER-When by his
own rash folly Lear is stripped of power, it
is his own court fool who shows him what a
fool he's been. Light but comes to his
brain to darken it.; then is the poor king
both ''mightily abused" and 'a very fool
ish fond old man." The pathos Of his
altered and enlightened feelings toward his
one faithful daughter, Cordelia; his recog-
milton of and subjection to the spurned
one, insomuch that he asks the blessing of
her whom he has cursed, and then the
lamentations over her corpse-these sup
ply motives for some of the most wonder
full expressions of Shakespeare's mind. At
last distraught with anguish, Lear is but q
piteous wreck, relapsing into the desperate
pit of insanity.
The first great difficulty that presents it.
self to the tragedian who would essay
King Lear ia the anti-ciimax of the
play. When a character is but revealed
in it's fullest strength in the last act it is
comparatively easy to mount the rungs of
the ladder, but degradation is more diff
cult. Again, the intensely emotional ma
ture of the part takes both the physical
and mental strength OF the actor. Within
the last decade only two actors have at
tempted King Lear-Henry Irving and
Frederick Warde. Four years ago Irving
produced King Lear, with Ellen Terry as
Cordelia, but so eXhausting did he find the
tension of the part that he never attempted
it in more than two performances q week,
and hitherto has steadfastly refused to
present his marvellous rendering of the
part in this country, because the strain of
travel. in addition to the exacting imper-
sonaton, he prudently believes might prove
beyond his strength.
Was it then intrepid of Warde to essay
such a part under such circumstances as
bind him? This was the question that
presented itself to the critics mind last
night, and Mr.. Warde's performance was
the wholly satisfactory answer. 1t is true
that King Lear will never prove popular
play; the philistines will always vote it's
progress tiresome. But to the student Of
Shakespeare and to all lovers of acting
such performance as Mr.. Warde and his
company gave last night must always be
of powerful interest. The performance is
by no means as yet up to the standard of
that perfection at which Mr.. Warde aims,
and, though the company has evidently
worked hard at the play. it will bear some
rehearsing yet. Mr.. Warde's impersona-
ton of the 'ruined piece Of nature" which,
as Lear owns, is "cut to the BRAIN was en-
ceedingly powerful. The intensely terrible
and bizarre effects in the third act. when

night at 8 o'clock at the house of Judge and
Mrs. A. w. Hutton, on S. Main street,
when their daughter, Miss Blossom Hutton,
was married to Raphael West Kinsey.
Rev. Alfred Clark of Christ church offici-
ated. The marriage was a quiet one, only
relatives of the contracting parties and in
innate friends being present. The cere-
mony was performed in the drawing room,
which was ornate with pink and white car
nations; they were banked OH the mantel,
and rising from the bed of blossoms were
graceful strands of smilax which reached
out over the wall, covering the large pic
ture over the mantel and continuing to the
ceiling. The bride and groom stood before
an artistic arrangement of white carna-
tions and asparagus ferns; the flowers
were held in an immense bowl which stood
on tripod of bamboo sticks, from this the
fern was carried to tho window tops, form
ing feathery mass of green. The win
dows were curtained with sruilax and
draped to either side with white satin
ribbon; Callas and palms were 2 the

OH small tables. The brides table was a
lovely mass of pansies, her favorite flower
intermingled with the flowers were satin

and long streamers that fell over the edge
of the cloth. The bride was charmingly
attired in a white crepe; the bodice was
cut slightly V-shaped, with soft ruching
of chiffon; large collarette of white satin
with insertions Of pearl passamentrie and
deep rutfe of chiffon completed the be-
coming toilette. The bouquet was of white
carnations and ferns, tied with satin rib

the reports which came from there of the
poor condition of the wheat crop in GER

wheat this morning at an advance Of z
cent. Opening quotations for May were
from S0ls@S0Ac, compared with yester-
days closing price OF 79iac. The price
took a dip to 79&zc soon after the open
ing, on the throwing over of a lot OF long
wheat, but the market had 100 much sta
tistical support 10 break badly from such
a cause, and as soon as the pressure was
removed prices went up again. The re-
ceipts at both the northwest and in Chi
cago were very small. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported $40 cars and Chicago sc
cars, a total OF 412 cars, compared with
COS cars on the same day last week and
S72 on the corresponding day of the year
before. The official figures on the New
South Wales wheat crop showed short
age of 10000 bushels of home require
ments. The seaboard reported a good
inquiry for export. One dispatch from
New York said Il was known there that
good steady business was being done in
Chicago wheat, all rail shipment, via
Boston. Millers took 10000 bushels here.
The visible supply is not expected TO
show over $4,000 bushels decrease on Mon
day, and some look for a small increase.
The pronounced weakness of oats made
its influence felt shortly before the close.
Realizing was also INDUCED in to a mod
crate extent, and May, which in the
meantime had crep up to S015c, broke to
1870. That was the price at the close.
Corn was very quiet, with trading
chiefly among scalpers. Prices during
the morning were helped to a moderate
extent by the strength of wheat, and
free exports, but wakend later, principal

closed at a slight decline. May opened
a shade higher, at 255sc. sold at 25ss@1sc,

Oats started rather firm, in common
with the other grain markets. but later
fell off decidedly. Liberal receipts and
heavy estimate for Monday was good
material for a weak market. Trading
was never heavy and fluctuations were
narrow. May opened shade higher, at
20@1kc, declined TO 1850, and closed
weak at 1890.
The feeling in the provision pit was not
pronounced in either direction for an
hour or so but became firmer toward the
end and closed quite firm at slight ad-
vances all around. There was no more
