California Theater.

On Wednesday, March 8, the French
Opera Company, from New Orleans. will
open q three weeks season with lie
Trouvere" q, Trovatore). On Friday
night the double bill of "Cavslleria Rus
ticana" and La Navarraise" will be pre-
sented. The latter is q one-act opera by
Massenet, the music of which the French
papers have repeatedly pronounced an ex-
act pendant OF Mascagni's Cavalier ria"
The book is by Julie Claretie and Henri
Cain, and tells a blood-curdling story OF
a Spanish girl, who steals into Carlist
camp and murders the insurgent leader in
order 10 win the price set on his head,
as she wants the money for her Wedding
portion. Anita finds TOO lite that her
lover will not saare in the proceeds of her
reachery. aud she goes mad as the cur
tain falls. One scene, where the camp
fires are displayed through flmy GauZe, as
night is supposed TO fall. has ALWAYS been
spoken OF as one of the most striking pic
lures in modern lyric drama. In spite of
Its resem oiance to the music of "Caval-
leria Rusticana," La Navarraise" con-
tains some characteristic touches of Mas
senet, particularly a serenade, which is
the gem OF the opera. The work is more
noisy than the "Cavaleria," as it is
played to a constant accompaniment of
shooting.
On Tuesday evening, the 18th inst, a
new light opera, Les Noces de Jeanette"
will be played and on Thursday Reyer
lyric drama, "Sigurd," will be gwen is
first San Francisco production. 'Sigurd"
is one of tue works of when the modern
French scnool is most proud. 1t lends
itself TO a Wagnerian wealth of Stage ef-
feet aud is said 10 have been very success
fully produced in New Orleans by the
French comrany. Following "Sigurd"
will be IL Africaine" and Gounods 5
Faust"

opera will begin on Wednesday morning

Crawford and His Critics.

Marion Crawford does not blame him

Brothers for the utter failure OF his ''Dr.

he blames the critics. In a letter to the
Herald the playwright-novelis tells these
gentlemen that his plans are not at all
affected by their unfavorable verdict; and
after jabbing them with the pleasing
little remark, "Critics very seldom ex-
press the public opinion in regard 10 the
merits of q book or a play" he adds:

Herne has evidently tried to make his
play an exact transcription of New Ens-
land farm life, and has permeated it with
a simple realism that is more Latin than
Anglo Saxon. His characters are no better
and no worse than the average everyday
people in real lie. They eat, drink and
make merry, quarrel ard achieve their
love-making in a commonplace way,
as people for the most part are
in the habit of doing, outside plays and
novels. When they are good they are not
impossibly good, and when they are bad
they are not absolutely horrid. There is
no doubt about the daring of an author
who attacks commonplace characters and
treats them in this complex way. Most

NAoi eh
There is not heroic character in
Herne's play, except Uncle Nat, and he is
one of those quiet, workaday heroes
whom Alphonse Daudet, in his earlier
works, delights to honor. l name Daudet
especially because of all the modern
French writers he has touched, with a
feathery pen, the little human weak
nesses and foibles and the traits
of unexpected self abnegation and
heroism that sometimes surge to
the sur ace in the most outwardly COM
monp.ace and everyday character
Modern Eaglish-speaking writers are apt
TO draw their characters with a coarser
pen. Uncle Nat ght belong to Daudet's s
''Lettres de Non Moulin" He is a to-
tally different type from the peasants of
Souiherh France, whom Daudet draws
with master hand, but "One touch of
fellow feeling makes the whole world
kin, and Uncle MATS human nature be-
meath his New England she'll is something
that Daudet might have drawn.
Herne's playing of Uncle Mats charac-
Ter is as light and feathery as his draw
ing of it. For my part, the other char
acters, with the turkey and the celery and
the property baby (the only unreal thing
in the play) thrown in, are all pleasant to
see, but they are sideshows compared to
the attraction of HerDe's "Uncle" Nat

THE YELLOW FEVER.

But One Genuine Case Reported at New
Orleans-The City to Be Thoroughly
Cleansod.
The report of yellow fever eases
at New Orleans has been exaggerated.
and the health situation has steadily
improved. Mayor Flower issued
proclamation to the people calling
for q general cleaning up about
their homes and q general use of BIZ
cloride of lime.
During the day the Mayor and
President Oliphant met the heads of
the various departments of the city
in conference at which a ms jority of
the council were present. The con-
ference resulted in the instant ap-
preparation of $10,O 600 with which to
begin the work of cleaning up the
city with the understanding that
any portion of fifty thousand neces-
sary to conclude it would be forth
coming when required.
A large force of men will be put
at once to work and New Orleans
will be treated to a frst-class bath.
The board of health reiterated
that there was not a serious case in
the city and there mad thus far been
but one case of yellow fever in New
Orleans this summer.
The best evidence that confidence
has been restored lies in the fac
that the matinees of the theatres to
day were crowded and that q hall
dozen bands have at different time
appeared on the streets in the pas
twelve hours.
