AT the Orpheum this evening Will
lam Calders we'll balanced company,
which last year played here success
1uliy Sutton Vanes romantic and
sensational drama, The Span of Life"
IL had been announced that the en-
gagement would open with a matinee
this afternoon, but it has been found
impossible to set up the great mass
OF special scenery in time for an after
noon performance to-day, and the
matinee has therefore been postponed
until tomorrow Sunday afternoon.
The first performance will, therefore,
be tonight, and the last two on Sun
day afternoon and night. THE Span
OF Life" is play rich in sensational
effects; picturesque in incidents and
vivid in characterization. One scene
at the end of the second act is notably
strong, novel and thrilling. 1t is the
lighthouse on the Coffin Rocks. The
hero, Richard Blunt, who has charge
of it, has exhausted all his supply of
oil, and his subordinate, who has gone
ashore to get more, is drugged by the
villain. The latter. Dunston Leech,

when controlled by good judgment, and
this the young singer seems to possess.
But it is suggested that it is not good
form to leave the stage before her ac-
companists complete their work, how
ever deep or dashing the bow with
which she receives deserved applause,
while the players still wrestle with the
score. But Miss Van de Mark made
distinctly good impression. She has a
clear. strong soprano, thinning out in
the upper register, it's true, but full of
vigor and vitality otherwise. Her tones
are musical throughout, without any
hardness, though here and there trifie
sharp 1t is a good voice, an aggres-
sive one one of the sort demanding and
deserving recognition, even if it does
not excite notable enthusiasm. 1t is
rather a dramatic voice. and if it does
not reach great depths of feeling, it has
brilliancy, is well handled and capable
of fine effects. The young stranger was
certainly successful last evening, and
well won the round after round OF ap-
plause which recalled her.
Richard Moyle of San Jose made his
first appearance here. His baritone is a
fine one. He has style of exceptional
vigor and vitality, and his tones are
distinguished by sympathetic quality
His method is cultivated and refined,
and lacks nothing in clearness of tone
definition. His numbers were Adams
Mona" and 1T Is Enough" from Eli
jah." His performance had the effect
that correct knowledge of the music
and fine style expressed through a good
voice produces.
The accompanies of the evening, in
addition to those already named, were
Mrs c. A. Neale, Mr.. Heyman ard A
w. Black and r. J. Carpenter, the we'll
known highly skilled mandolinists and
guitaristS.
A defect of management was oDtru-
sive last night. The surprise is that

brings off a barrel of water in its place,
and when the hero discovers the fraud
Leech shoots him. The interior view
dies out as Blunt is thrown into the
cellar, and the curtain rises again on
the foggy sea with the lighthouse in
the center. Inside Leech is seen carous-
ing merrily and gloating over the ap-
preaching wreck of his own steamer,
which is due that night, and which he
has heavily overinSured. Suddenly
Blunt appears. wounded and weak, but
sensible of the impending danger. He
sees the steamers lights in the dis
tance. and hears the low sound of the
fog bell about a mile away. He climbs
the outer stairs to ring the fog bells,
while the shape and lights of the vessel
slowly grow out of the sea at the back.
Nearer and nearer they come, the
lights growing brighter and the hull
larger as the huge vessel closes on the
lighthouse. Then Blunt, lying on
projecting beam. begins to ring the
fog bell. The half drunken villain, dis
turbed in his revelry, staggers out. The
steamer looms up larger, and just as
it is about to be dashed on the rocks
help arrives from the shore, and the
beacon light of the Coffin Rocks
breaks forth and the din of the bell
becomes louder. Then as the curtain
begins to descend one sees the ship
backing away from the lighthouse. An
other notable and thrilling scene is
that in which three stalwart men make
a bridge of their bodies over chasm
to enable a prosecuted woman to es-
cape great peril

The complimentary concert to MISS
Gussie Jackson drew fair sized audi
ence to the Sixth-street M. E. Church
last night. but it ought to have filled
the auditorium. for it was worthy OF a
crowded house. The program was
varied. we'll arranged, just long enough
and of an elevated character.
Mrs. Pinkham played Flagler's 'Bri-
dal March" on the pipe organ, with the
taste and musical illumination for
which she is so we'll known as an art
ist. G. B. Franz gave for violin solo
Beethovens Romance in F." Because
we hear Mr.. Franz so much and in
everyday work as an orchestral leader
we are apt to undervalue him as a
soloist. In fact he is an artist, plays
a solo with informing intelligence, ana
interprets the masters with a nicely
of understanding not distinguishing
some more pretentious people who come
to us from abroad lauded as solo vio-
linists.
Mrs. Frances, Moeller sang the con-
tralt0 solo Gould l." by Tosti excel
lently. with the sincerity and loftlness
of spirit called for by the theme. she
was in good voice and her method in
this touching song was that OF the ac-
complished singer, whose conscience
prevents her from sighting anything
she undertakes. She was recalled and
responded with a second number given
with feeling without disclosure Of effort,
and with the skill of one confident of
her capacity. Mrs. C. K. Lipman and
Mrs. c. E. Turrell for a piano duet
played Chopin's "Polonaise," op. 40, ef-
fectively and with nice taste. Appar-
emily there was a little Fastening. but
it may have been only apparent.
]. A Owens sang with great satisfac-
tion to the audience and much to his
| own credit the tenor solo by Flegier Il
Love Her" c. A Neale Cf1ute). Pro-
fessor Franz Cviolin) and j. F. Becker
| (piano) played Bach's Spring Awak-
ening," one Of the most delightful of
numbers that can be selected for gem
eral concert. They played it with
melodic grace, dramatic expression and
| delicate appreciation of the beauty and
symmetry of lovely composition.
! Miss Maude Richardson recited "A
Triumph of Rome" and a humorous Sc
lection. The young woman has deep
| resonant and winning voice, and her
| enunclation is worthy Of all praise. She
| is one of the few, evidently. impressed
/ with the idea that auditors desire to
understand words, as well as to hear
sounds. She reads with much dramatic
| power and has very few mannerisms-
| indeed, she is entitled TO be classed with
| the very good readers.
Miss Maude Van de Mark of Oak
land, soprano, made her first appear
| ance here in Verdi's 80, Don Fatale," T"
from Don Carlos She was support
/ ed by a quartet of instrumentalists-
Professor Franz, violin; Mr.. Becker,
