The Theaters

The Royal italian quartet, appearing
at the Orpheum theater this week, in
cludes two California girls, both of
italian parentage, although born in
California. They are Signorina Virginia
Guerrini, contraltos and Signorina EN-
ma Cavaleri, soprano. Of Oakland and
San Francisco respectively. Both have
spent years abroad and are by no means
at disadvantage with the two ac-
complished men singers, Signor Guido
Cecotti and Signor Emmanuel Porrini.
Their work has been SO highly appre-
ciated in Los Angeles that Manager
Drown has received a number of re-
quests to have them held over next
week. While their rendition of operatic
numbers is thoroughly artistic. they
popularize them sufficiently to make
their appeal felt in the galleries as
well as in the orchestra.
Manager John H. Blackwood of the
Belasco theater gave a stag dinner to
party of friends last evening in honor
of George Broadhurst, now in Los An
geles directing the rehearsals for his
play, 1.-The Dollar Mark" which will
be given at the Belasco next week.

WOMAN is INSPECTOR
OF ENGLISH PRISONS

Women in England are making rapid
strides in their race for equality with
men, both at the polls and in the trades
and professions. Not long ago wo-
man was made the mayor of a Scotch
town and now a bright young English
woman has received the appointment
of inspector of prisons. pr. Mary Cor
don of London is the first woman to
be appointed one of his majestys in
spectors of prisons and assistant in
spector of certified inebriate reforma-
tories.
She is a homeopathic physician, with
a good practice in London. While she
is in no sense of the word a rabid suf-
fragist she has written much on the
question and is strong believer in the
ballot for women. She objects, how
ever, to the militant methods used by
the English suffragette society in their
efforts to obtain complete suffrage.

A NORTHERN NIGHT

Now for little space the golden moon
Irnclouded reigns the rudy stars grow pale
And glitter ghost-wise through her lustrous
veil
The fr's green PRIDE the cedars droop and
swoon.
The flaming naples and the aspens tune
All sink to shade and silence. where the trail
Coils through in dread: the lakes in silver
mail
Sleep and heed not the watchcry of the LOOM
Across the fallow clearings, drenched with dew
The moonbeams play as on a wakeful tide
And light along the pearly spider lines
The troll-king dances with his jocund crew;
And high aloft the tree-sprite's weeping
bride
pines.

When February birds do mate,
You may wed, nor dread your fate;
If you wed when March winds blow,
Joy and sorrow both you'll know;

Joy for maiden and for man;
Marry in the month of May.
You will surely rue the day;
Marry when June roses blow.

Must labor always for their bread,
Whoever wed In August be,

Love will come, but riches tarry;
II you wed In black November,
Only Joy will come, remember;
When December's SHOWS fall fast,

A WONDERFUL FRIENDSHIP

One of the most remarkable friend
ships among animals is that which
exists between a cat in the elephant
house at the Geological gardens in
London and the large two-horned
African rhinoceros which is kept
there.
It is even more strange than Aesop's
fable of the mouse and the lion, for tho
little sleek mouse was able to be of
great service to the lion in nibbling the
meshes of his net; but the huge
-rhinooeros can scarcely believe that
pussy is able to set him free, yet that
a great affection exists between the
two is certain.
They may be often seen together.

PICTURES OF PLAY
GROUNDS SHOW WEAKNESS

n NCE more the young artists
showed an aversion to drawing
" landscapes. Many of them con-
trived to put an unusually large fig
ure or group of figures in their pic
lures. and leave very little room for
any glimpse of land or water
The Juniors seem to have an idea
that they either cannot draw land
scapes or do not wish to do so. l am
sure, however. if we continue urging
them sufficiently we will discover just
as many of the boys and girls who can
draw pictures of this sort as there are
who draw children and animals with
such excellence.
Some of the boys and girls are IN
clined to think that they could draw
landscapes better if they had some
other medium For instance, they
think that in paints or colored chalks
they could get better results, conse-
ouentlv they do not try at all in black
and white.
If they would study the light and
shade effects, which they might get by
the proper application of fine and
heavy lines, they would discover the va
rietv which is offered even with this
medium, and they should all know that
drawing teachers urge the use OF
lust such simple mediums when be-
ginning the study of art.
Several of the Herald Junior artists
received very prominent notice for
their work in final exhibits of the
various high schools. This is com
mendable and encouraging for all the
councillors in the various contests
and something which ought to go far
