THE BURBANK.-(Advanc An
nounCament) THE Tornado" is still
blowing it's breezy way at the Burbank,
and the breezes are cool and refreshing
as we'll as entertaining. 1t has blown its
way into the good graces of the patrons
{ the housa anG is the best thing YET
done at the Burbank. Tonight will be
the last time to see The Tornado" Next
week the scene changes from Wiscon-
sin and Chicago to the great business
center Of New York. Miss Ada Lee BaS-
com, the gifted young California writer
and critic, has lately come into more
prominent notice than ever by being
the constructor Of one of the most orig
inal and fascinating dramas produced in
many years Perhaps the fact OF its
being the work of woman has been
more or less the cause of the instantan-
eous success of "a Bowery Girl'' than
anything else. Certain it is that this
fact has done more to establish its rep
utation in advance, for its purity and the
heart interest contained therein than all
the work of its able management.
"a Bowery Grip is a picture of life
on the Bowery, taking in the little
Italian quarter" Nora Hoffman, the
leader of Bowery society, is as fearless
as she is amusing, and Oracle Plaisted
will certainly bring this character into
1minence, as it is entirely her style
Of character She will introduce some
new and fetching songs. The first scene
opens in the parlor of Patrick Hoi!i-
mans house during a birthday party,
and introduces the elite of the Fourth
ward. Mr.. Chas. Thorton is up for the
alderman of the Fourth ward in the role
of Patrick Hoffman. Mr.. Norval Nc
Gregor will be seen in the role of Ernest
Halcome, the young clerk; Mr.. VIM
Brewer as Nicholas Franklin, an un-
scrupulous lawyer; Mr.. Pietro Sosso, as
Casca Bertolina, an Italian padrone,
while our own jolly good-natured fun
making Dick Sullivan is cast as Swipe-
sey, the Bowery boy, with songs and 4
new specially, During the perform
ance a great number of specialties will
be introduced by Addie Grove. George
William, Chas. Gale, Dick Sullivan, Bes-
sic Buskirk Oracle Plaisted, Frederick
Tjader and others, The scenery is be-
ing newly painted for this attraction,

ORPHEUM. (Advance Announce
ment) Papinta remains the chief at
traction at this popular theater, and de-
servedly so, for her dancing furnishes
specialty of real artistic beauty. Pa
pnta is rot only the incarnation of the
poetry of motion. but a feast to the eye
that revels in exquisite colors. She is
handsome, graceful and a Californian.
New dance creations will be presented
next week But Papinta is not the only
attraction offered. John c. Fox and Miss
Kate Allen in their comedy creation,
"The Flat Next Door" are sure of
hearty welcome Mr. Fox was for a
number of seasons associated with Mr.
Conroy, and they were the foremost
II tsh team on the American stage. They
should be well remembered as with the
Lottie. Collins company about two years
ago. The greatest negro delineatorS-
male or female-upon the stage are
billed in the persons OF the Nichols Sis
ters. Their reputation is world wide, for
their enga gements extend over America
Europe, South Africa and Australia
Their fun is fast and furious and ilS sure
to create sensation. One of the great
est hits at the San Francisco Orpheum
has been the three Racket brothers.
They have been the central figures of the
show for three consecutive weeks there
and would be retained for longer time
