The record-union., 1896-07-26

The last week of the season of the
Moulton Company at the Clunie Opera
hcuse, commencing tomorrow, Monday
evening, will present the famous organ
lzation in an especially strong bill, con-
slsting of three ne-act plays, and in ad-
dition to this, the performance will have
sensational aspect in the appearance
between the acts of Alex McIvor Tyn-
dali, the world famous mind reader and
hypnotist," who will give some of his
mysterious mind reading and occult
tests. The bill to be presented will con-
s.st of the charming one-act play THE
Baron's Wager in which Miss Kate
Dallas and Lester Lonergan will appear
This gem Of dramatic art was a strong
feature of the famous actors Felix Nor
lis and Richard Mansfield. The artistic
ability of Miss Dallas and Mr.. Lonergan
Will have ample scope in this play. The
second bill of the evening will be the
well-known comedy "A Game Of Cards"
which the distinguished English actors
Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall gave a prominent
place in their repertoire on their first
appearance in this country The four
characters in "a Game of Cards" will
be played by Miss Fanny Yantis and
Charles Gibney, Lester Lonergan and
Harry Stockbridge. The versatility of
these capable artists has been we'll dis
played during their stay at the Clunie
Opera-house and the charming comedy
will be presented in an artistic and capa-
Bile manner. The best of the three plays
OF the bill will be Two Jim Dandies,"
which is as full of mirth and laughter
as an egg is Of meat. In this mirth pro-
vcker the comedian Arthur Moulton,
who has become very popular here, will
appear, accompanied by Miss Rose Stu
art, Miss Helen Harrington, Miss Lillian
Clayes and Messrs. Stockbridge and
William Sellery. The plot of 1.-TWO Jim
Dandies" revolves around the adven-
lures of a father and son who take each
others places in paying their attentions
to two ladies. The duo become mixed up
in their adventures, the father pays
court to his sons sweetheart and the
son gives his attention to the lady whom
his father proposes to make his second
wife. The result can be we'll imagined.
The triple bill will give every member
OF the Moulton Company a chance to be
seen at their best. The performances
of these clever comedians should draw
big houses for their farewell appear
ances.
In addition to the dramatic portion of
the entertainment the sensational and
novel feature of the appearance Of Tyn-
dali between acts in his occult mani
festations" will give spice and variety.
There are none living who have proven
a greater puzzle to scientists than has
Tyndall, if all told of him is true. He
has mystified the two continents, we are
told. Telepathy mind reading and
hypnotism to-day are chief subjects
with which science is interested, and
these mysterious matters form the basis
of Tyndalls work. This week Tyndall
VIII present his famous tests of finding
a hidden pin, unraveling murder, r.
wing Bishops test of finding a word in
n book (Which caused his DEATH and
number of equally weird and mystifying
things. This will be TyndalPs last ap-
pearance in America, as he leaves short
ly for India to carry out his plan of
being buried alive for thirty days, which
he tried to do in Chicago and in Los
Angeles recently, but was prevented on
each occasion from trying this Unheard
of feat by the authorities, who looked
upon it as suicidal AS many requests
have been made to Tyndall to give one
Of his sensational blindfold carriage
drives while he is here, he has con-
sented to do so, and tomorrow. Monday
evening, will carry out this remarkable
feat, starting from the opera-house at
z in the evening. The test will be in
charge of a committee of well-known
citizens who will see that the oft-re-
peated assertions of collusion have no
chance of being carried out. Tyndall
declares that he is the only man living
able to carry out the test of the blindfold
carriage drive, and is prepared to offer
81 900 to any one who can do the dam
gerous feat under TIE supervision of
the same committee. 1t has been DONE
however, here and in San Francisco
and successfully. 1t is to be regretted
that the clever Moulton Company does
not play here longer, for their perform
,ances have been of the most delightful
character, and it Will be a difficult thing
for the management of the opera-hou
10 secure again SO fine an organization
as the Moulton Company that will play
to such prices. There ought to be made
an effort to secure the continuance of
the troupe In Sacramento.
A welI-known manager was seated in
his office when his messenger brought
fn. a card which bore the inscription,
rMr w. Shakespeare Sheridan, Drama
tist," or some similar name. On the card
was scrawled in pencil, What about the
letter I wrote you three years ago?"
'Well, that's the first instance of a
patient dramatist have ever encoun-
tered" remarked the manager Most
of them demand replies before the ink
is fairly dry on their own letters"
all his limited attachments as a contor-
ZIONIST in his efforts to see around the
tail. wide hat worn by the sweet girl
IN front of him.
The young woman hom he was ac-
companying saw him and pitied him.
Then a knowing smile passed over her
face and she leaned over and whispered
loudly enough for the girl with the big
hat to hear:
What a lovely hat that girl in front
of you has on?"
He looked fierce, but said nothing, and
the owner of the hat stared straight
ahead with pleased expression.
What pity it is" the young woman
with the knowing look resumed, that
she doesn't know it isn't on stright?"
The girl in front made a convulsive
grab and shifted the hat TO one side.
Then it didn't feel right and she showed
1t away over on the other side, only TO
hear in the commiserating stage whisper
