In San Francisco society put he seal
of it's approval upon the California clubs
production of 1.-THE Brownies In Fairy
land by attending in a body on the
opening night, I'M every seat had been
sold for every performance during week.
Mayor Phelan had a box party on the
opening night at the California theater
and Mrs. Eleanor Martin had another
PARTY. Mrs. Lowell White, Mrs. A. D..
Sharon and other officers of the Califor-
MIA club occupied boxes. and practically
every one of the "4OO'' was in the audi
e~nce-plenty of children, of course, for
the Brownies We're invented by Palmer
Cox for the little ones.
These quaint mystic characters have
become household favo1ites throughout
the world, and it is impossible to overes-
innate the kindly feelings that every
where exist for these happy creations of
Palmer Cox. Millions of little mes wait
longingly for each new exploit of the
Brownie band, and their intense interest
in these funny adventures is literally
shared by the grown people.
In the construction of this production
the author has introduced all of the we'll
known favorites. The introduction Of
the Fairy Queen and the band is an
other of Mr.. Cox clever ideas, and he
has given these little elves most charm
ing lines and songs. ,
The bright, catchy music was composed
by Mr.. Malcolm Douglas. every number

choruses, which will be rendered by near
ly 100 children's voices. win be beautiful

HoYT's "a STRANGER IN NEW
YORK;

OF all the plays hat Charles Hoyt has
turned out in the past, none has ever
appealed more strongly to the masses
his "a Stranger in New York.
which is reported as having broken all
records. That this comedy is a most
popular one, is attested by the fact that
it has drawn larger audiences and made
more money for it's author than any of
the other Hoyt plays. The stranger
appears to be an entertainment that ap-
peals to all classes; and Mr.. Hoyt in
furnishing the public with "a Stranger
in New York" seems to have struck the
keynote of the public taste.
"A Stranger in New York" was orig
inally presented in New York city some
time ago, and to say that it created a
most favorable impression with those
who saw it. is putting it mildly. This
popular success comes to the Grand opera
house for one-half week, starting Sun
day, October IA, greatly improved, and to
use the words o fthe advance represent
alive. digger, better and brighter than
ever"
The ale Of seats now on has been un-
usually large, m for choice locations an
carly application would be advisable.

One of the strongest attractions that
will visit Butte his season will be the
Frank Tannehill company producing that
beautiful and very successful comedy
drama "A Young Wife," The company

Frank Tannehill Junior, who will be re-
menfbered by the theater going people Of
this city for his lever Interpretation of
Smith in MeSsrs. Broadhurst Bros
comedy, Why Smith Left Home produc-
ed here last season.
This season Mr.. Tannehill brings his
own company and the character of Hor-
ace Greengage Dobbin the c~ountryman
portrayed by Mr.. Tannehill gives him
great opportunity for displaying his ar
tistic ability which he does. admirably.
Some of the best critics claim that Mr..
Tannehill shows to better advantage in
the Young Wife," than any play he has
ever appeared in. Mr.. Tannehill is rec
ognized as n of the most foremost
comedians on the stage today and the
company supporting him are the cream
of the theatrical profession. The drama
was one of the great successes of last
season having run 105 nights in New
York when they were compelled to go on
the road to fill previous engagements.

success, the play being received nightly
WITH large and enthusiastic audiences.
When Mr.. Tannehill finishes singing the
popular song. Everything Is Lovely on
the Bowery," at the end of the second
ACT lthe den scene), he received no less
than eight or ten curtain calls. Man.

SoTHERN'S HAMLET.

F. N. r. Martinez, at one time a lead
ing dramatic. and musical critic in San
Francisco. writes in the New York;
World about E. H., Sothern's Hamletal
He says:
In his physical phase the impersona.
ton calls for naught but praise. Mr..
Sothern's gestures are expressive and
he is sober in the use of them. His
movements Ave grace and dignity,
even when corresponding to the tumult
of his feelings. Beneath them there is
ever the suggestion Of youthful vigor
and exurberance. held in restraint by
the realization Of a sudden maturity
born of a terrible sorrow and a harrow
ing affliction. ~
In appearance the actor Realizes the
ideal. His face, handsome. APPLE, limned
with the horror of his life's crisis, the
downfall and destruction of all his be-
lief in human nature, recalls that of Ed
win Booth of thirty years ago Its
beauty is haunting.
THAT Mr.. Sothern should have In.
dulged in a few innovations was to be
expected. That seems to be inevitable
whever an actor decides to realize the
goal which is set for his profession-the
playing of the melancholy Dane. Mr..
Sothern introduced three or four of these
and they are not such as can be COM
mended.
when the ghost departs after his re-
cital of the murder, Hamlet throws him
self to he ground with a curiously
pitched cry that has nothing of the hu-
man. In the scene where he compares
the two men-father and uncle-to his
mother. he indicated the location Of the
latter's portrait with q. sweeping gest-
ure in the direction of the audience.
Lastly-and this innovation is inexcus-
able-in the scene in which the king ex-
lies Hamlet to England and the latter
seizes a sword and attempts his uncle's
life, there is no warrant for such an act.
All things considered, it is in the
youthful beauty of his Hamlet. with a
rare and exquisite emphasis on the pa
thos of it's filial love, that Mr.. Sothern
established claims to the serious con-
sideration of his ambitious effort-an eff
fort which in a way is a triumph.

fly" is brief but important. Some years
ago attention was drawn to the dramatic
possibilities of a tragic little story in
the Century by John Luther Long, but
nothing definite was dome to prepare it
for the stage until David Belasco set to
work upon it. Last spring, during the
e York run of Naughty Anthony
at the Herald Square theater, Madame
Butterfly was put on as an afterpiece,,
the title role being very effectively played
by Miss Blanch Bates, who was at the
same time acting the part of Cora in
Naughty Anthony" When Mr.. Belasco
went to London in April to bring out
Mrs. Carter in "Zaza," at the Ga1rick
theater, he took all the scenery and
properties for Madame Butterfly" along
with him. The little play was at once
put into rehearsal. and on Saturday ev-
ening. April %, was produced at the Duke
of York's theater, as an afterpiece to
MISS HOEtbS"; the double bill running
until the close of the season at that house
some two months and a half later. Both
play and acting were universally praised
by the London press and public. Miss
Evelyn Willard was seen as Cho-Cho-

amt Pinkerton,. Mr.. Claude G~illingwater
as Mr.. Sharples, and Miss Suzie Vaughan
as Suzuki. Both Mr.. Gillingwater and
