ADVERTISEMENTS.

Health Is a magnet which irresistibiy
draws the man to the woman in Hfe's
mating time. Health does more than
tint the skin with beauty; il puts music
into the voice and buoyancy into the
step, as well as happiness into the heart.
A great many women covet beauty and
are constantly seeking aids to beautify
them. Let a woman first seek perfect
health and all other charms shall be
added to her. -E
There can be no general health for
women while there is disease of the
delicate woman1y organism. The first
step to perfect health Is to cure womanly

Society Does Not Witness Singers
Second Appearance.

Sybil Sanderson scored distinct sue

Juliet in Gounod's opera of Romeo ct
Juliette" at the Grand Opera-house.
If Manager Grau had introduced the
California singer on Saturday night in the
part she sang last night instead of in that
of "Manon' there would have been far
different story to tell of the audience that
assembled last evening to listen to the
grand opera singers.
The attendance was not bad, but it was
not good and the boxes and many rows Of
seats In orchestra and dress circle were
unoccupied. There was no elegant dis
ent and the between act talks" of what
Mrs. So and So wore or how Miss Blank
looked were not heard in the foyer

BY BLANCHE PARTINGToN.

Y Y HEN 'Manon Lescaut'' was
M chosen for Sybil Sanderson's de-
WV but before a San Francisco au-
dience last Saturday evening at
the Grand Opera-house it was
presumably because the role was the best
thing in her repertoire. She had sung
it numberless times. 1t was written for
her. She had been trained to it's posi-
bilities by the composer himself and had
achieved a huge success in Paris and 1T.
Petersburg in the role, as we heard here
from time to time. Naturally it was I'M
agined from these things that "Manon'
was Miss Sandersons best work. 1t was
that in which she won her fame and 1T
was that which was chosen to exhibit
her here to her expectant compatrtots.
Just the same. it was mistake, and a
big one.
The thin, finicky elegance Of the opera
came with absurd effect after "Die
Walkure" of the. evening before, and the
melodious splendors Of Faust in the
afternoon to begin with. It's light insin-
certify of theme, aptly fitted to equally
emasculate musical setting, Jared imme-
diately on the ear keyed up to grand
opera pitch.
1t was as If one had been given the frills

the comfortable richness of the cake it.

as Tar as Miss Sanderson herself was con-
eerned. But she was not at her best on
Saturday night, not by much, as her work
last night in Romeo and Juliet showed.
She was evidently more seriously affected
Dy nervousness than was at all apparent,
The voice suffered seriously through it,
and, combined with the thlnness of the
opera, the conditions were literally un-
favorable to a success of any kind
II was different last night. Romeo and
juliet, though not great opera, is
at least worthy, and in parts strikingly
beautiful. Miss Sanderson had something
to sing and one of the beautiful world
roles to play. and her Juliet is another
story from the "Manon." Not that Miss
Sanderson is great singer; she has no
quality of greatness; but her voice at its
best, as heard last night, is high, light
soprano of sweet, though uncertain quail
ity, flexible and well cultivated But it
is worn and only safely used in the lighter
voice, the loss of quality being immedi-
ately apparent when the singer attempts
anything fuller than mezzo voce.
But she sang the ''Waltz'' song with a
good deal of charm, and throughout
showed vocal competency that gives her
a place with singers not of the first rank,
but with others that come a quite respec-
table second. She enunciates beautifully,
every word being clearly distinguishable
AS to Miss Sanderson's dramatic con-
ception of the role, it is by far the most
satisfying have seen. 1t is very. French,
unusually animated, but full Of charm,
tenderness and girlish grace.
She is a beautiful creature and quite
worth the money to look at, but she acts
the part. too, and is the only singer 1
have heard who put the tenor in the
shade from the standpoint Of, dramatic
interest. Melba, as Juliet, created only
the most languid enthusiasm here In
spite of her marvellous vocal gifts but
Miss Sanderson last night reused the
house to a genuine enthusiasm for the
role and the singer, and just by virtue of
the truth and poetry of her conception

and added appreciably to his laurels
thereby. He little over-acts the part,
but 1t is so frequently under-acted that

With its local surroundings. its familiar

ter opened last evening to a crowded
house. An enthusiastic audience inhaled
the pungent odor of the punk without
murmur of protest and vigorously ap-
plauded the daring feats exhibited in
every moment of the play. The produc-
ton was very heavy one and the per-
feet reproduction of the well-known por-
tions of Chinatown won frequent ap-
plause.

called to the footlights many times and
she was undoubtedly pleased with her re-
ception, for she fairly beamed with de-
light. De Reszke, Bauermeister, Bars,
Journet, Declery and Salignac were also
recipients of considerable applause.
Manager Grau listened to the opera last
night and when he discussed the reception
accorded Miss Sanderson and compared it
with the comments made when she sang
"Manon,' he shrugged his shoulders.
Grau and his business staff naturally be-
lieved that Sybil Sanderson would have

"Manon," with which she is identified. as

Alcazar

Self and Lady was given the hearth
es- kind of a reception by a large audi
ence at the Alcazar last night. The play
is a farce comedy revised from the
French and is replete with laughable
features. The plot, If plot there is, Is
rendered rather hazy by a succession of
amusing situations without any very clear
connection with each other. A notary
in the absence of a star singer, takes
the part of Faust in the opera and makes
decided hit. His wife, unaware that the
new character Is her husband falls in
love with him and sends him a note Civ

his wife for once and meet the strange
lady. His friend, his friends wife and
