Grand opsrn House.

An attraction of much moment, which opens a three nights engagement at the Grand opera house tonight. is B. E.. Forrester's superb production of Theo- dore Kremer's latest and most success ful melodrama "No Wedding Bells for Her." This new play is one of the best offerings of the season. It is strong in plot, legitimately thrilling and exciting and possesses a remarkably sustained heart interest. The story is one of the coal regions of Pennsylvania, and partly based on incidents of the great coal strike. The strike of the miners is used only as means of Illustrating and de- veloping the main plot of the play. In brief. No Wedding Bells for Her" tells of the love Of an able, energetic and honest young labor leader for the ac- complished and beautiful daughter of one os the great coal operators. A counterplot shows the machinations of an unscrupllous villain, who is a part ner Of the coal operator, and who ruins an innocent young girl who is about to become the wife of one of his employees, by the use of drugs. There will be the. usual matinee wednesday.
 "A Hidden Crime which opens a three nights engagement commencing Thursday night. December r. at the Grand opera house, is highly praised by the newspapers of the east, where it has played during the present season. It is. a story of the Pacific coast with much heart interest and affords splendid op- portunities for scenic display. Much has been said by the press of the scene of the Golden Gate, of the rose garden at San Rafael, and of the sensational breaking of a suspension bridge. The. company to present "A Hidden Crime is headed by Edward Davis, who desert- ed the pulpit two years ago for the stage: John F. Lockney, the author. and Pauline Fletcher, late of the Dear born Stock company, Chicago. These popular players insure creditable per- formance. The company carries the en- tire scenic and electrical equipment. Matinee Saturday.

The effect of the dance depends entirely upon the clever blending of the rays of colored electric search-lights, which are thrown upon her, but the spectators almost fancy she is being de- voured by flames Papinta is the great est of all fire dancers. She is always offering novelty in that line. With the aid os electrical devices, score of mir TOTS and her clever motions the effect produced is a dazzling one. ..

Hyperiou rhsatsr.

The coming visit of Sir Henry Irving at the Hyperion theater in Dante" on Saturday night, December 19, is sure to bring grateful stimulus of interest in the artistic drama For more than three decades he has occupied a commanding position in the development of dramatic art. and his influence will be strong long after he ceases to be an active participant in tEe production of plays. The English tragedian views the condi- tions which now control the stage with a kindly eye. He sees from the view point Of the audience as well as from that os the actor. He is an optimist who discerns high purpose in the sum total of his profession's work, so that when he discusses the present day ten dencies Of the stage, its plays and its people, he speaks from liberal impulses, which recognize inevitable shortcomings while placing emphasis upon the high results which the stage is bringing to fast-increasing theatergoing public.
 'I remember" Sir Henry Irving said recently. that it was the custom to boast of being able to appreciate great authors more in reading them than in seeing them acted. This was a common method of affecting special intellectual ity. I am glad to say that this delu- sion. which was Q gross and pitiful one, has almost absolutely died out. It certainly conferred very cheap badge of superiority on those who en- tertained you. It was little more than a conceited assumption that an unpre- pared reader, whose mind is usually full of far-off things, will see on the instant all that has been developed in hundreds of years by the members of the studious and enthusiastic profession. My own conviction is, that there are few char acters or passages or our great dramat- ists which will not repay original study. But at least we must recognize the vast advantages with which a practised actor, impregnated by the associations of his life and by study-with all the practical and critical skill of his pro- fession up to the date at which he ap- peared. whether he adopts or rejects tradition--add dresses himself to the in- terpretation of any great character, even if he has no originality whatever" Seat sale opens Tuesday. Prices s2.50. $2. $1.5o.
 Checkers" is underlined as the Christmas attraction at the Hyperion theater on Friday, Saturday, December 25 and 26. There will be matinees Christi mas day and Saturday. The engage ment is brief and the attendance will doubtless be large, for Checkers is one of the most talked of plays of the
