The great event of the Florence Rob-
erts season at the California Theater
up to date is the production of Vic
torien Sardou's wonderful play, La
Tosca," announced for the week COM
mencing Sunday night, with matinees
on Wednesday and Saturday. La
Tosca" is. one Of the classics of the
stage and one of the severest tests of
the powers of female star. Florence
Roberts is an exceedingly gifted wom-
an and ought to make a notable Tosca
because she is full of latent force,
strong emotional quality and has a
keen and delicious sense of comedy.
The character of La Tosca is all
comedy and coquetry at first, and that
is where most of Miss Roberts prede-
cessors have lacked in the role. They
have nearly all been of the trage
dienne type and lacked the volatile dis
position of which La Tosca was full.
Before being aroused she was an fn
genuous character. with all the fas-
cinations of a beautiful and gifted
woman with an absorbing passion for
her artist lover. Afterward, however,
her fury is all powerful and brings out
the tragic strength of the player. Miss
Roberts has every essential for the
character in temperament and talent
and ought to achieve the success of her
career on Sunday night.
The cast will be especially strong,
and Herschel Mayall will appear as LIE
Baron Scarpia, the Regent of Police,
and Lucius Henderson as the artist,
Mario Carvarodossi.
The scenic effects will be exception
ally handsome, notably the scenes
showing the Church of st. Andrea at
Rome the Farnes Palace, Scarpia's
room in the castle of st. Angelo and
the ramparts of st. Angelo. overlook
ing Rome and the Tiber

A smartly dressed woman and her hus-

Ellis street car early yesterday morning
that for hilarious fun-producing cast
shade over any of the skits of the Or
pheum stage. The audience was an en-
thusiastic crowd of "wee small hour"

IDENTIFY been to the theater, and after the
play wine had flowed bountifully, and by
the time the two were ready to hail the
car at the Mason street crossing they
were totally obliyious to any but their
own presence.
John, DEAR" whispered the wife to her
husband soon after the conductor had
collected the fare, ''see thash sun up
there"-accompanying the words with a
wave of her hand toward the cluster of
electric lights that shone from the top of
the car.
The sleepy crowd awoke with a start.
1t saw possibilities.
Don't you see 1t, John?" repeated the
bibulous spouse, unsteadily shaking her
drowsy helpmate. "Thash the sun.
S'getting hot. Mush put up sunshade.'
The audience gasped. Grapes said
wise one.
BY this time the gaze of the masculine
| section of the duo had become fixed on
the shining lights, and his features
beamed with the brilliance of his as yet
unexpressed idea.

The wife looked at her husband. An
expression of loving sympathy passed
over her features.
John" she breezed. 'I really believe
yoush intoxicated. Thash the sum-"
With happy knowledge gained from
long experience with womankind. John
smiled happily at her. Softly his arm
stole around her waist Her head rested
on his willing shoulder. ~'Dearie, he gen.
