woman who leads the feminine contin-
gent in The Virginian,' which follows
Buster Brown" at the Novelty The
ater, commencing next Monday even
ing is said to be as clever as she is
handsome. Dustin Farnum will be seen
again in the title role of this dramatiza-
ton of owen Wister's story, a part
which he essayed last season at the
Columbia Theater and won an imme-
diate triumph. The play of The Vir-
ginian" is one of the most interesting
of the many made from books brought
out of late years and is presented by
strong cast including Frank Campeau,
Bennett Mussuon, Frank Nelson, Harry
Holiday, ]. R. Furlong, Eleanor Wilton
and Lillian Corbin.
Nellie Beaumont. comedienne, who
comes we'll recommended by Eastern
critics, will present at the Orpheum
next week. commencing Sunday after
noon, sketch entitled My Busy Day.
in which she is supported by Arthur
Van and other capable players. The
playIet has been well received in the
East. Another feature of the new bill
will be the Lasky-R Rolfe quintet, con-
sistine of four cellos and a string bass,
played by artists who were rehearsed
by Victor Herbert. Eleanor Fake,
singing comedienne, and the Bedouin
Arab troupe of acrobats will also be

first time here this season by the Lam
bardi company this evening at the Cen
trail Theater and a good cast is prom
ised A double bill, The Barber of Sc
vile" and 'TPagliacci,' is announced
for tomorrow evening, with Adaberto
an Anto1a in the Leoncavallo opera.
For Saturday matinee Chopin is un-
derlined, La Forza del Destino" for
Saturday night, CARMEN" for the Sun
day matinee and La Traviata" for
Sunday night.
Next week Mascagni's lyric drama,
Iris" and Fra Diavolo. Aida Mig
non" and III Trovatore' will be sung.
"The Princess Chic" is proving
popular at the American Theater. Aida
Hemmi has demonstrated her ability in
romantic role, the comedians are well
served, the augmented chorus is heard
to advantage and the ensembles are
excellent. For a really entertaining
musical offer "The Princess Chic" as
sung and acted by the San Francisco
Opera Company can conscientiously be
commended.
NO STOCK company mas ever given a
better production of Alabama than
is to be witnessed nightly at the Colo
NAL Theater Norval MacGregor, who
was specially engaged for the part of
Colonel Preston, has scored a hit by his
artistic portrayal of the old Southern
gentleman, and Frank Bacon, A. Burt
Wesner, Izetta Jewell and the balance
of the company are also admirably cast.
The production, from scenic stand
point, leaves nothing to be desired.
"rhe Halfbreed." a four-act comedy
drama will receive it's initial local pro-
duction at this theater next Monday
night.
There will be entire change of bill
at the Chutes Theater next Monday
evening, among the newcomers being

family, but was later divorced and
married E. v. Smith at Reno in 1901.
At the time of the divorce, Kathleen
was given into the custody of her
mother. Coleman later Kidnapped her
from the Smith home in Pacific ave-
nue.. The mother again secured pos
session of the girl. and failing in an
attempt to secure her by legal means,
Coleman again kidnapped her and went
to Victoria, where he was appre-
hended A compromise was reached,
whereby the mother was given guard
ianship of the child and the father

Recently Coleman returned from the
Philippines, where he had been for
three years, and gave a power of at

Heavy voting is still the order of
the day in the gold prize contest. Miss
Norma Merani continues to be the star
attraction in the great race and il
she keeps up her continuous perform
ance of scoring more points each day
than any of her competitors she will
surely land first prize for this heat of
the race Hers was the largest gain
again yesterday, an increase of 300 in
her score, taking her total 1000 above
the 100000. Sacramento, Stockton, San
Jose and other cities with contestants
ambitious TO win first prize will not
be IN II If they do not soon do some
thing to overtake the Oakland girl
Miss Merani says she is determined
that Oakland shall not be second even
TO San Francisco in this period of
the contest That is tantamount to a
def to Sacred Heart College to beat
her II il can. A peculiar phase of the
race between Miss Merani and the
Sacred Heart institution is that the
former, who lives in Oakland, is get
ting most of her support from San
Francisco. while the college, which
" located in San Francisco, is being
literally supported in the contest by
residents of Oakland
Mrs. Doherty of Sacramento has cap
tured second place again by a gain
Of $500, which sends Sacred Heart Coll
lege down TO third place this morn
ing. Miss Merani has at present near
" 10000 plurality over Mrs. Doherty
but reports from Sacramento indicate
that Mrs Doherty will yet give the
Italian lass hard run for the big
money.
