upon her and for seven years she with

coughed necessarily, and could not sleep.
She finally discovered way to recovery,
By purchasing Of us a bottle Of DR..

Morosco's.

Tomorrow night at Morosco's "Tha Wicklow Postman," an Irish comedy drama, will receive its first production at popular prices, and Fred J. Buffers name is featured in big letters for the leading role. Lettie Le Vyne, we'll known soubrette, is engaged as the star attraction to play the part of Nora Donlin, the Irish heroine. Miss Le Vyne made her American debut in this city ten years ago, since which time she has played with various com- panies in the East, in Europe India and Africa, as we'll as in the Australian colonies. The comedy element and in- cidents of the play admit of the intro- duction of specialties, and Miss Le Vyne will render several numbers. Ju- lia Blanc, Maurice Stewart, Fred But Ter and the Acme Quartet will also in- troduce specialties. Lawrence Under wood has been specially engaged to play the part of Major Anderson, one of the villains of the plot. w L. Glea- son Is in the cast for the Scotch dialect character of James Saunders, and a number of other new faces will appear. The principal scenic features are a view of the Wicklow Mountains, Ireland, and the prison scene, as we'll as a new in- terior scene. Altogether the bill for the coming week is expected to be an attractive one.

Hartman's appearance in farce, more or less legiti- mate is attended with excited f1utter- ings by many persons who are enthusi- astic admirers of his, and with milder interest by persons who take account of what goes on at the San Francisco theaters, and Mir. Hartman may count on many glad hands to welcome him tomorrow night at the Baldwin His play is by an English author, John T. Day, and new to the American stage, having first been presented at the The ater Royal, Portsmouth, England. in July of last year. It went on afterWard at the Strand Theater, London. where it is said to have achieved success. MT. Hartman has secured the American rights to the play and believes he has in it valuable property.
 The scene models, by W. T. Hemsley, were shipped from London to San Francisco and are said to have been faithfully copied by Frederick Schafer and John Ledwidge. The action takes place on the promenade deck of an Australian liner The scene shows the cabin, deck houses, chart house, bridges, lifeboats and all the parapher nalia of an ocean steamer, and it is claimed that the set is one of the most realistic ever shown upon the stage. The first act represents the steamer in the morning off the coast of Portugal. In the second act it is night and the

The following tribute to Ibsen's art and some of the best known characters in his plays is an extract from a long poem written by William Archer. the London dramatic critic and translator of many of Ibsen's pieces, in celebra- ton of the masters seventieth birth day:
 Henceforth not Norway only, nor the two Companion realms, do reverence to you; As each creation follows on the last All Europe stands Intent, one audience vast Possess the soul with such imperious sway Their two hours tale Is graven on the sense Like years of passionate experience Behold! as in a magic looking glass More real than reality, they pass; Heimers gay song bird' in her cage rebels, Ocvald ere ever he drew breath foredone Shriveling in anguish, whimpers for the sun Brave Stockmann. bounded forth with curse

laugh at it. In the present vocal fortunes of America there is trustful spirit of anarchy in the Couriers endeavor to drive out the foreigners.

Tn fact, if you were to put a frst-class opera and a first-class company in the California Theater there would be nc room left for an audience. All that we were promised was Melba, and we would rather have had her in concerts than not at all. AS it was the or chestra and the leader were good, Cam parari was good, the several other principals of the company did fairly: and Melba, in operas that might have been made only for the glorification of her voice, was everything and all that we expected her to be.

In the last act the steamer is off Port Said and the complications of the plot are finally cleared up when the pilot comes over the side with the mail
 The story of the play is not an in- tricate one, but it is said to be inter- esting and to furnish many humorous situations The purser, the character in which MT. Hartman will appear, has just returned to England from Austra- lia. Immediately upon his arrival he
 is married, but before he has an op- portunity to enjoy his honeymoon or ders come from the steamship company to instantly join another vessel which is about to return to the AntipOdeS. The purser is broken n-hearted, because one of the strictest rules of the com pany is that none of it's officers shall carry his wife on a voyage. The young couple discuss the situation and decide that the wife shall travel incognito and that they shall act as strangers on the vessel The purser has had previous love affair with a charmer in Sydney, with brute of husband, from whom she is seeking a divorce. When the play opens the steamer is outward bound and it transpires that not only is the purser's wife on board, but also the lady from Australia. The latter claims him and he, not daring to admit

The remainder of the bill will include Lizzie B.

of the audience. The story is all about the troubles of a young French Mar quis who comes to this country and sinks his fortune i'll a salted gold mne. He is befriended by young ac- tor, who has fallen in love with so- ciety belle, and at the time the play opens is about to be turned out of boarding house for nonpayment of board. Pearl Dodo, a vaudeville ac- tress, comes to their rescue and loans them her apartments while she is on the road. Established in the fiat the actor starts out to look for pupils and the Frenchman, masquerading in some of the actress clothes, is surprised by a rich aunt of the actor who takes him for her nephew's wife. Thinking to help his friend out of a distasteful marriage, which the aunt has come to arrange, the Frenchmanr encourages her in her mistake and claims to be the wife. From this moment the plot thickens. until every member of the cast is laboring under mistaken idea. The setting of all these people right makes the story, and 1t is said to be an amusing one.

The Melba Opera Company, now giving what are satirically termed operas in the distant West is a mere makeshift in- tended as frame for the central picture, which, of course, is Melba. This great singer is out in the wild and woolly' for the purpose of educating the ignorant American in the operatic art. It is not so much a question of money as of educa- ton. Sooner or later the Westerners be- yond the Mississippi were bound to learn what "Lucia," Bohemian Girl" Mar tha,'' "Rigoletto" and other Italian operas really meant even if travestied, as they must be. when given with small tempo rary orchestras, small Unbalanced chorus and surroundings that give the perform ances the air of a shoddy variety show. Melba does not mind all the sacrifices in volved in appearances having such un- comfortable environments. The artistic protest is subdued under the overwhelm- ing desire, prompted by foreign love of America, to educate the dear people who never heard of the old operas.
 As long as we are satisfied with these constant foreign invasions there is no req son why we should not pay for them. In the language of Vanderbilt, Damn the American musician
 Now, to every newspaper man whose work has to do with music, the Courier is indispensable. It has its goods and bads. It has. like the dramatic week lies, its elaborate system ofout- of town correspondents, who, receiving no pay for what they write other than the dead-head tickets furnished them by managers, are loudly and consistently faithful to the managers; and it has it's Raconteur Huneler, one of the best of American critics and essayists in musical and dramatic matters, and an incomparable authority on the players and the literature of the pianoforte; it's Vance Thompson, a marvellous blend of oscar Wilde and himself and of godlike egotism; it's Philip Hale of Boston, an always valuable music en- cyclopedia and critic and a sometimes fortunate jester; and it has its enter taining grudge against the foreign singers and their obese incomes. The

the New York season was over. The supreme modern experience in operatic art belongs to the public of New York, who have got it by the simple means of paying for it.
 And since gold is the bait, there is no reason why San Francisco, grossly rich and proverbially generous, should not make business of sharing in some of these artistic spells. Put up a1 opera-house; the entrepreneurs and the public will do the rest.

A one-rooned empire, paved with broken
 hearts,
 Each figure, standing solid and four-square. Lives tangibly, with personal mien and air; Each theme is plucked, with skill grown more
 and more,
 From life's own palpltating quick and core. Whoso has eyes and looks around him sees On every hand these same type-tragedies, Here. 1t may be, still lurking in the germ, There acted to the ineluctable term. But still the poets necromancy throws Its purple gamor over lifes gray prose; To swift clairvoyance 1t unseals our eyes, With focused passion it eectrifies Some common crisis of our common lot Until its commences is all forgot Stern truth puts on the effulgence of romance Plain speech is touched to weird significance. Flash lights of vision search our inmost souls And. as the pageant scene by scene unrolls, We ~~alize half appalled, and half elate The terror. beauty, mystery of our fate.
