on a bet, appeared at both perform
ances last night, singing La Paloma"
and the "Toreador" song, receiving
much applause.
His appearance came about by his
manager betting that although he had
appeared before hundreds as bull
fighter he did not have the courage to
face an audience and sing a song. The
result was his La Paloma" was so
finely rendered in clear, strong bari
tone voice that he was forced to sing
the "Toreador'' song from Carmen"
In order to win his bet Senior Robes
must sing at both performances to-
night, which, he says, he intends to do.
The new bill will be reviewed in to-
morrow's issue.
The fight for life on the telegraph
wires in the third act of Dangers of
Paris" at the Grand opera house last
night came very nearly putting Chester
Stevens, who plays the role Of Capt
Bagaud, out of the cast for the rest of
the week. At the finish of the fight on
the wires Stevens hangs by his feet
twenty feet above the stage until the
curtain falls, when he is assisted down
by several stage hands. Last night,
however, Stevens feet failed to con-
meet with the wiring apparatus and
fell ITO the stage, furnishing a most
realistic climax but giving him severe
jarring and several bruises.

the party, Charley Pike of the Salt
Lake route has been getting very busy
along the Rialto.
"The Game Warden" which Alphin
and Fargo are presenting this week at
the Olympic theater, is one of the
clever little comedies such as delight
patrons of that popular playhouse.
The play is full of comedy. The plot
is a minor detail, for what is lacking
in that degree is more than supplied
by clever situations and excellent
musical numbers.
Jules Mendel, as usual, has the title
role, and as General Puffup, a retired
game warden, he pleases greatly
Monte Carter as a Hebrew society
belle, Is very funny. Blossom Seeley
has an excellent part as the belle of
Boston, aid plays it admirably. AL
Franks, Walter Spencer, Dave Morris
and Vera Stanley do some clever
acting.
The new bill at Bristol Pier cafe
brought out several thousand people
Sunday, when grand opera by Signor
Vilmor Titkary, the Hungarian tenor
and Miss Grace Moreno, the Spanish
diva, was a prominent feature. Pas
sages from Carmen" and "MignOn"
were rendered, winning tremendous
ovations. In addition to duets both
artists were heard in solo numbers,
encores being numerous. Signor Tit
kary, one of the new members of the
cast, possesses a splendid voice of ex
ceptional quality His numbers are
well selected.
Miss Moreno's renditions are as
striking as any songs she has rendered
during her appearance at the pier.
Lambert, the baritone, again scored
with his audiences in popular as we'll
as classical numbers. Miss Frances
White, the splash me- girl, was one
of the most popular members of the
cast. Her new songs proved as catchy
as those which made her famous on
the big circuit. The instrumental SOLO
lists played many new numbers, to the
delight of pier guests. The bill will run
the entire week, although special num-
pers are promised Saturday and Sun
day. when there will be matinees
