Mrs. Leslie Carter to Present
Louis XIV Drama at the
Grand Next Week.

Judging from the large number of
mail orders received by Treasurer
Campbell of the Grand Opera House,
Mrs Leslie Carter will be greeted by a
series of audiences that will tax even
the seating capacity of that playhouse
Mrs. Carter will present for the first
time in this city, Monday night, June
13, David Belasco's play "Du Barry"
This is the drama in which Mrs. Car
ter has been appearing in all the large
cities of the East for the last three the
atrical seasons. with a success that has
even surpassed all of her own previous
triumphs Amusement lovers of San
Francisco will see Mrs. Carter's play in
its entirety. The actress and the 122
members of her company left New
York for their transcontinental journey
in special train of ten cars. Four of
the coaches were occupied by the COM
pany, and in the remaining half dozen
cars were stored the equipment Of
scenery, furniture of the Louis XIV
period, the bric-a-b brac, costumes, prop
critics, lighting effects and the like
This stage paraphernalia is said to
represent the complete production as
Mrs. Carter gave it in New York. San
Francisco theater patrons will witness
a performance of ''Du Barry" therefore
that will be considerably more imposing
than anything the native stage has
heretofore known. The advance sale
of seats for the engagement will begin
at the box office of the Grand on next
Thursday morning. Meantime, mail
orders will be received and when ac-
companied by remittances will be filled
in the order in which they reach the
treasurer of the theater.
