The San Francisco call., 1899-02-26

Francisco is to see a new Floria ToSca,
and a new Fedora in the person of Miss
Walsh Miss Walsh is no stranger to this
city, but she has never appeared here
until this season in the roles calling for
such an equipment of youth, feminine
beauty and talent and a considerable
amount of real histrionic genius 1t is
generally acknowledged that Miss Walsh
Is the possessor of those qualities so es-
sential to great success upon the stage.
and has discovered how to apply
them in order to get the best pos

verdict wherever the company has aP77

The TiVoli.

Madeleine, or the Magic Kiss which
has made success at the Tivoli, will be
continued for a third week at this popu-
lar home of music. This work, which won
place for its author and composer,
Messrs- STANCE and Edwards, in the East,
has found equal favor here. The scenery,
costumes and accessories and the cast
that includes Anna LIGHTER. Annie Myers.
Bernice Holmes, Ida Wyatt Phil Bran
William Pruette, Arthur Boyce and Fred
Kavanaugh, together with the good cho-
rus and orchestra. are all that could be
asked. Offenbach's La Belle Helene"
arranged up to date, will follow, marking
the temperance of Elvia Crox.

IN VEN as the interior of the Grand
IL Opera House now appears, with
the ambitious series of improve
IL ments not completed. it is evi-
dent that the amount of expense
incident upon the rebuilding and refur-
nishing of the big theater did not enter
. into the first calculation of its man
ager. The entire interior has been torn
; out and the system of Improvement will
be surprisingly fine when it is finished
and the auditorium stands ready TO fur
nish the scene for great voices, thrill
ing music and every fascination in
cluded in the presentation of operatic
pictures: the gathering of beautiful WO-
men, brilliant jewels, rich gowns, with
a background of brave men and the
throb of the great pulse of the audi
enCe, beating in the anticipation of an
operate season of record breaking
magnificence.
The first floor of the theater is truly
mammoth in its new proportion. 1t
viii contain as many seats as the Met
ropoIitan Opera House in New York,
and fully so per cent more than three
fOurths of the famous opera houses in
Europe. In plain figures, there will be
over 1000 seats on the lower floor and
these will be placed in a manner that
insures an uninterrupted view of the
stage from every point The line of
sight Will be applied to every seat, with
the center OF the stage as a focus, and
the comfort and assurance to patrons
OF the opera that all seats will be
points of vantage is no inconsiderable
item in the summing up of advantages
of the new theater. There will be no
orchestra" and orchestra circle" un-
der the new seating plan. The entire
floor will be practically one great sweep
of richly upholstered chairs.
A feature of the lower floor will be
:: the absence of any steps, the audience
coming directly from the lobby, which
gently slopes toward the front and in
shape has the appearance of a huge
and shallow watch crystal When the
dress circle is entirely finished it will
disclose an unusual condition of COM
fort and luxury. Around the entire
front have been built ''palco" boxes,
seating four, five and six respectively.
These paIcos are roomy and comforta-
bic and their situation affords every
occupant an unobstructed view of the
entire theater. The dividing partitions
are loW-less than two feet high, in
fact-and will be covered with deep red
plush which will be the pervading tint
of the scheme of interior decorations.
The effect of these boxes when filled
with the beauty of San Francisco will
be nothing short of brilliant.
The seating plan of the dress circle
will closely follow that of the orchestra
floor. There will be seven rows of
seats behind the boxes, their. arrange
ment likewise commanding a perfect
view of the stage. The chairs for the
orchestra floor and dress circle will be
entirely new and are now being COM
pleted and arranged by the makers
who seated the famous Chicago Audi
torium. They will be luxurious and
