1t is said that the two performances
to be given by the Lambardi opera
Company at the California Theater to-
morrow (Monday) and Tuesday nights
will positively and emphatically be the
last that this excellent organization
will ever give in San Francisco. Ar
rangements have been made for a long
season in Los Angeles, prior to their
return to Italy, and they leave directly
for that city following their farewell
here. For the two nights at the Cali
fornia, Manager Friedlander has Sc
lected the two best operas in their rep
ertoire and for the reason that many
requests have come to him, for repe-
tition of both these operas. On Monday
night "Mignon" will be given, and on
Tuesday night THE Barber of Seville
On both nights all the great principals
will be in the casts, including the art
lists, Repetto, SoStegni, Ferrarl, Bada-
racco, Russo, Bugamelli. Barducci and
the others, who have made such hits
since their singing in San Francisco:
The orchestra will be AUGMENTED ana
every member of the company Will as
sist to make the last two performances
memorable ones in the history OF
the Lambardis' engagement. Popular
prices will prevail on this occasion
That the singers will have ovat1ons
goes without saying. No organization
that has ever visited San Francisco has
sung operas so true and perfect as the
Lam ba rdiS.

Columbia.

San Francisco will be the second city
in this country TO have the opportunity to
pass judgment upon the comedy Lord
and Lady Algy," the play that holds a
record of an entire season at the Empire
Theater, New York, and a run Of over
eight months IN London. Charles Froh-
man will present Henry Miller and the
special company now at the Columbia
Theater. in the Carton piece on Monday
night and it is promised that the play
will be given an unusually elaborate
staging.

She has gone to live with her aunt, and he
dwells in the fat. While Lord Algy is
thus situated his elder brother, the Mar

Algernon figures prominently and Lord
Algy is conducted to cab and sent home home

TWO actors disappear from the
local stage this week. Edward
Morgan leaves the Miller COM
pany, to go East and rest and
rehearse against the work of
iext season. Lewis Morrison tempo
rarily forsakes the stock company at
the AIcazar on account of an Illness
that has been giving him considerable
concern of late. MOrgan's departure is
nothing short of a disaster. He is an
actor of rare humanness, one who
seems to have profited by Hamlet's in
struction TO the player, an artist to
the last word. Blessed as he is with
good looks and warm magnetic pres
ence, it were an easy matter for Mr..
Morgan to play upon his personal
Establishments and WOO the matinee
crowd in smooth style. But that sort
of thing seems to find no place in the
ambitions of this young actor. He is
as sincere as Irving, without any OF
that noble knights paltry stage tricks;
he comes, as have said before, fresh
from life, instead of stale FROM the
stage" with dramatic strength and
dramatic tact that are surprising.
Seldom is 1t that we have an oppOr-
tunity to offer UP young actor as
a model for his fellow craftsmen, but
7 think that there IS hardly an actor
in America who could not profit by
studying the methods of Morgan. He
is absolutely natural he seems to
know nothing about the ancient and
dishonorable tricks of stagecrafr- He
expresses the emotions as a full-blood-
ed you or I would in similar circum-
stances in real life. His reserve and
powers Of suggestion are almost as
potent as those of William Gillette;
his temperament is warmly magnetic,
ready for any intense moment and
never exposing its limitations.
The more see Of Morgan the more
am I convinced that he is one Of the
big actors Of our time. Given the good
health that 1 hear is now denied him.

the East San Francisco was for time
inconsolabIe.
But when one day there flashed over
the wires the glowing accounts of the
way San FranciSco's beautiful faVorite
had taken New York by storm, the
people of this city forgot their dtsap-
pointment in the pride with which they
listened to the successes that were fall
ing to the lot of the talented woman
who in her genius and charming per-
sonality was doing so much to extend
the fame of their fair State.
The people at home were consoled for
their loss and patiently awaited the
time when she would once more return
TO her own and delight them as she
did in days of yore. Miss Bates was
as anxious to return as the people
were to have her back, and when an
opportunity to play a five weeks en-
gagement in this city presented itself
she grasped it with eagerness.
She will arrive here on Wednesday
next and on Thursday evening will
open at the California with Mr.. Fraw-
ley in their most famous play, The
Last Word"
Following this will come their other
New York hits, or at least as many
of them as can be wedged in the five
weeks for which the company is
booked
The company Frawley is bringing out
with him consists of over thirty we'll
known people, among whom are such
stars as Hope Ross, Mae Dohrman,
Manola Mould. Augustus Cook, Charles
w. King and Frank Mathieu.

Orpheun.

The Orpheum has four new acts, headed
by Miss Minnie Palmer. She will appear
in a one-act comedy entitled Rose
Pompom, in which she assumes two very
different characters-that of a nun and
that of a music hall singer. This gives
Miss Palmer an opportunity to introduce
the specialties that have made her ia
nous the world over. She is assisted by
Francis Jerrard of the Haymarket Thea
ter, London. George Wilson, the black
face comedian, is favorably known to
theater-goers and ought to prove draw
ing card The Rixfords are European
acrobats and credited with being very
clever. while MILAN and Shields are telk-
ing comedians.

there is no reason why he should not
write his name in the history Of the
American theater. Mansfield and
Goodwin are no longer youngsters, and
neither is especially model in the mod
ern drama, whereas Morgan is the per-
soniffcation of Modernity.
He holds the mirror up to the mod
ern passions and manners better than
any other man that I have seen on
the stage. The romantic and poetic
drama is ever with us, but day by day
the straight-away picture of contem-
porary life is forcing to the front, and
in this Mr.. Morgan will find his own.
