AT THE THEATER

Manager Seeskind will present the
melodrama, THE Fatal Wedding" at
to-day's matinee and tonight. The
plot deals with the adventures of a
scheming woman, who, assisted by a
male accomplice, encompasses the ruin
of a happy family and the separation
of a wife from her husband and chill
a marriage with the husband and there
by gain his fortune. She is prevented
from doing this, however, by the time
ly interference of two characters, a
Frenchman and an Irish servant wom-
an, who, in their respective parts, fur
nish the amusement. The scenic eff
fects are said to be most realistic. One
of the scenes, that of the Palisades
on the Hudson at night, shows the
counterfeiters den, and with the re-
volving scenes, goes to make up
strong scenic production. The matt
nee prices are: Orchestra, SOC; bal
cOny, adults, soc; children 25c admis-
sion. Regular prices at night.
Tomorrow, matinee and night, Anne
liza Bingham will be seen in The Fris-
ky Mrs. Johnson" The play is an
adaptation from Nine. Flirt," by Ga
vault and Berr, which ran for two years
in Paris. Clyde Fitch did the Ameri-
canizing, and has succeeded most adj
mirably in making the characters
drawn by the original authors most
pleasing to American audiences. The
types are cleverly drawn and true to
life. Even Mrs. Chardley, a seemingly
impossible, Anglo French woman, is a
character which can be found in the
cosmopolitan society In any of the for
eign capitals. The plot of THE Frisky
Mrs. Johnson" tells of the self-sacrifice
of the heroine to save her sister. and
it's failure. 1t is a story with delight
full epigram, brightly Lines and clever
dialogue, all the way through. The
end of the play Is especially dramatic,
and in the hands of a less clever COM
pany of players would become melo-
dramatic. Miss Bingham brings with
her the same company which support
ed her during the run of THE FRS
ky Mrs. Johnson" at the Princess The
alter in New York city, where, for three
months, it played to crowded houses.
Managers Broadhurst & Currie will
present Monday night their scenic pro-
duction of George Westons musical
comedy, "a Son of Rest" with Nat NJ.
Wills as the bright particular star.
This young man has made a name for
himself among the highclass yaude-
Williams and IS now determined to place
himself in the front ranks of the bet
ter class of comedians. His methods,
his magnetism and his spontaneity
suggest Nat c. Goodwin. Mr.. Wills
will be supported by a company of
sixty players.

WILD WEST STEER
. CHASED THE CROWDS.
Got Loose on Midway and wild
Scramble Resulted.

Scramble Resulted.
The bucking steer which Is with
Kennedys Wild West at the Fair
Grounds did one stunt yesterday aft
ernoon that was not programmed. Mr..
Kennedy was leading the animal out
Ito the race track for the free per-
Torrance when the rope that was over
its horns slipped off and the animal
was free. Just at this time a spieler
in front of one OF the tents fired a re-
volver. The sound frightened the steer
and he made a wild dash down the
Midway.
There was a fair sized crowd walk
ing around the enclosure at the time
and when the animal started there
was a wild scramble for safety. In
less than a minute there was no one
on the grounds, every one having
jumped up on one of the platforms be-
fore the tents. The animal ran on
down to the open space near the build
ings and here Mr.. Kennedy threw his
lasso and it was all over.
The performance in front of the grand
stand was another good exhibition of
Craftsmanship. The chariot race, four
horses to each chariot, caught the
crowd and the close finish was loudly
applauded. The trick riding and other
features were up to the usual high
standard. In the Indian Village every
thing went off smoothly. The crack
rife shooting of Miss Bessie Kennedy
was very good and the spinning
feature was loudly applauded. The
riding of the bucking jackass was
laughable performance and caught
the crowd.
This afternoon all the features
which have seemingly been the most
NNIfa. nstF lNn
request of the fair management. The
performance alone will be we'll worth
visit to the fair and coupled with
the other things of interest about the
grounds, should guarantee a large
turnout to-day.
