Judge Jamison and a jury Monday
took up the case of Nellie G. Cronin VS..
McKusick, Copelin, Riddell & Co. Miss
Cronin is the young lady who kept the
cigar stand in the Penny Press" Office.
Bad luck was apparently contagious In
that building and some time ago all the
property Of Miss Cronin was taken under
a writ of attachment asked lor by the
defendants in the present suit. The COM
plant alleys that the defendants took
the property, claiming that it belonged
to one Walter L. Hodges, although they
we'll knew that IL was the personal prop
erty of the plaintiff. Her trade and her
credit were consequently injured to such
an extent that she thinks $4,000 in dam
ages is needed to repair the injury.
"Shaft No. 2" the electrical melodra-
ma will be presented at the Bijou the
coming week This play deals with the
trials and ultimate triumphs OF an cleo
trical engineer, Jim Rathburn, and the
audience is treated to a succession CT new
and interesting stage pictures and gives
number of surprises in the line OF me-
chanical and electrical effects. never
before introduced in a play. One scene
Of more than ordinary interest is repre-
sentation. of a shaft of mine with the
tram car running up and down and the
miners at work. 1t is very realistic
picture of the interior Of mine. In
another act a storm is produced by new
electrical and mechanical contrivances
and it is spoken Of as the most wonder
full and realistic reproduction of nature
in her turbulent mood ever attempted
on the stage. The piece abounds in ma
ny new and attractive features and will
no doubt meet with as favorable re-
ception from the playgoers here as 1t
has elsewhere. The cast producing the
play is promised to be excellent and is
headed by FrankLosee and Marion Ell

Thomas w. Keene, the eminent TRACE
dian. who is now recognized as the le-
ultimate successor of Edwin Booth, Will
appear in a varied repertoire of classic
plays, all Of next week at the MetropoH-
tan Opera House. Mr.. Keene is firm
believer in the vitality and popularity OF
such dramas in which he has found dur
ing his tour on the road pleasure and
profit. He is one of the few American
tragedians who have steadily adhered
to Shakesperean and other similar plays.
He is an actor who believes more in act
ing than in production; and he demon
strated, this season, that popular public
interest in the plays which he presents
has not abated Mr.. Keene will open his
ENGAGEMENT with Richard III. This
is the ploy in which he first appeared as
a star. and with which he has been iden-
titled ever since his debut, at the Boston
Theatre, about twenty years ago.
Richard will probably be repeated Sat-
urday, at the matinee, or the night per-
Torrance The celebrated historical dra-
ma Louis XII" is announced for Tues
day evening. Mr.. Keene is the only
American actor who is presenting this
play. Critics and playgoers generally
agree that Mr.. KeeneS Louis is the
greatest characterization in his roper
toire. At the Wednesday matinee, the
romantic drama, "Ingomar', will be
presented, with Mr.. Hanford in the title
role, supported by Mr.. Keene's company.
Shakespeare's tragedy, "Othello,'' will be
given Wednesday night, with MIR.
Keene in. the title role, and Mr.. Hanford
as Iago. Julius Caesar" will be given
Thursday night. Hamlet will be the
bill Friday night, and it is possible that
'Richelieu' will be selected for the ma
tinee performance Saturday.
