Mr.. Frawley and his people are as
sured a reception on Wednesday even
ing that will eclipse in enthusiasm
even the splendid greeting extended
to them when they returned from
Hawaii TO San Francisco. That was &
notable theatrical event. AS one of the
local papers said: San Francisco
audiences are not prone to raise to the
heights of fervor in their demonstra-
tions of welcome; they are not dis
posed to give lavish manifestations of
their afTection for the faVoriteS of the
stage except on the most rare and eX-
ceptional occaS ionS, but the manner in
which they received each and every
old favorite of the Frawley company
last night was alike gratifying to play
goers and players. 1t was the most
spontaneous and enthusiastic recep-
ton that has been accorded to any
actor or public favorite. There was
both rhyme and reason in this recep-
ton, for theatre goerS most adequately
appreciate conscientious work, and
when it is allied with talent of the
most rare order, they are ready to
throw aside the ordinary lines of re-
serve and give full and free expression
to their laudable feelings. And the
audiences were made uD of the best
elements of Frisco society,""

was easy to see which way the tide
