M|DWEEK THEATER NOTES
+" Captain Impudence' Continues
It's Success at the
California.
Comedy and Pathos at the Grand.
Rachael Walkers Return to
the 0rpheum.

Captain Impudence' is one of the best
productions that the California Theater
has seen this season, and it is meeting
with the reward of merit in the shape of
large houses. The excellence of the cast
Milton Royle's sparkling lines, and the
scenery and staging are all excellent.
At the Baldwin Theater "A Milk-white
Flag" is pursuing the cheerful tenor of
its way to the accom- paniment of plenty of
laughter and applause.
Although ga Texas Steer' is no stranger
in this City, the clever performance being
given at the California Theater of the
popular Hoyt comedy is drawing excellent
houses.
On Monday next the Henderson Ex-
trayaganZa Company opens at the Column
bia Theater in "Sinbad." The company
is said to be exceptionally strong this
season.
"Hoop of Gold' with its thrilling melo-
dramatic scenes, relieved by the sprightly
Jokes of Gilbert and Goldie, is proving
very strong attraction at the Grand.
The realistic scenery is nightly applauded,
moonlight.
The AlcaZar's continuous show is filling
the house. The low prices make it pos
sible for people who have not a whole
afternoon or evening at their disposal to
stroll in just to witness a few turns I"
Some parts of the bill are very good, as for
instance the horizontal bar performances
of Starkey and Rathbun and the farce,
''My Wife's Husbands" the latter being a
slightly adapted version of "My Turn
Next" Josephine Gassman, in serio-
comic selections, takes well, but for the
most part the vocalists leave something to
be desired.
The familiar strains of "Maritana" are
arousing the usual demonstrations of ap-
probation at the Tivoli this week, for the
old ballad operas never seem to die. The
next attraction at the Tivoli will be "Said
Pasha.'
Large houses and plenty of applause are
as usual the rule at the Orpheum. This
weeks bill, which is strong one, includes
songs by the popular creole singer, Rachael
Walker. who is paying return visit here.
Al and Mamie Anderson's plantation
sketch has made quite hit, and the same
may be said of the Di Filippis' dance son
the boulevard"
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-19

a deer's eyes command wide field
of vision, and the animal can see behind
as well as before, though not so distinctly,
for when alarmed it will always turn SO as
to gain clearer view of the object.
