Frank Daniels and his company OF
thirty people come here on the 18th,
and present either THE Idols Eye" or
s.The Wizard of the Nile" Both are
comic operas and the music is delight
fully catching. The troupe is one of
the hest ever brought to the coast. As
to Daniels there is no comedian like
unto him: he is sui generis. Helen
Redmond. his leading lady, is held to
he the most beautiful woman on the
American stage. We saw the COM
pany in San Francisco recently and
can say that it is all around superior
and that Daniels has gathered for his
nlays the most graceful and handsom-
est lot of clever women ever seen on the
stage on this coast The operas are
richly costumed and finely staged. The
men of the company are quite the
equals of the women in ability and
musical grace. Daniels played his
troupe three weeks in San Francisco to
a S37, 900 business.

Nance O'Neil, the new and rising
tragic and emotional actress, appears
at the Clunie Opera house on the 18th
and 14th inst, in "Magda' and "The
Jewess.'' Her success has been phe-
nomenal. She is an Oakland girl who
has taken the stage like whirlwind
and everywhere has won high honors.
Her four weeks engagement at the Co
lumbia Theater, San Francisco, recent
ly, was one of the few in that city
played during the past few years that
have been received with unanimous
praise from the press and public. Col
umns upon columns were devoted to
this young tragedienne.
George H. Broadhurst's merry farce,
"Why Smith Left Home" is one of the
emphatic hits of the season. Like all
of Broadhurst's other farces, its fun
hinges on a series of domestic COM
plications, but with no suspicion of vul-
garism or suggestiveness about it, and
exceptionally free from the unwhole-
some tendencies of the modern stage.

works of art. She is "A years OF age,
comes of a distinguished English fam
lily and has social affiliations of a nota-
BILE nature. Curiously enough, her hair
is of a silvery gray. After her metro
politan debut, her published measure
ments gave rise to a fierce discussion
in the Partisan newspapers, in which
French artists of repute took part. The
question was as to whether these same
measurements were in accord with rec
CgniZed standards. In consequence OF
all of which our French friends are
said to be awaiting her arrival with
good deal of anxiety and curiosity.
