Marcus Mayer returned to New York on Friday night. Messrs. Wilson and Hirschbach are writing a new burlesque for the Tivoli. Audran has? n new operetta entitled "La Duchesse de Kerrare." J. Henry Walker Hnrris says that already he likes the staje loiter than the pulpit. Julia Marlowe-Taber announces that she will produce the "Blot on the 'Scutcheon." Edmond Hayes has l.oen engaged for lead- ing heavy roles at the 'irnnd Opera-house. Frank Mayo is to star in his own dramatiza- tion of Mark Twain's story, "Puddin 1 Head Wilson." The gowns worn by Emily Bancker in "Our Flat" will foreshadow the very lntest Parisian novelties. When Manager Friedlander moves to the Columbia he will take the entire California Theater staff with him. May Yohe (Lady Francis Hope) made her re- appearance "ii ;iu> staee at the Prince of Wales Theater, London, ln*t night Bo many of Charles Wyudhnm's London com- pany are ill with the influenza that he has been oblitrt'ct to close his theater. One of the srronp cuaracteristics of the new leading lady at Morosco's, Miss Hall, la a pow- erful diction which she uses admirably. Mine. Rejane, the distinguished French ac- trpsc, has arrived in this country and is now appearing in "Madame Sans Gene" in New York. William Furst, who was formerly musical di- rector of the Tivoli, is said to be the second wealthiest composer in the East. De Koven head- the lii '•Trilby"will be "tried on the dog" and on th<- quiet at the same time at Bridceport, New ila\>r. and Hartford before it goes to Boston week aftor next. Charles \Y. Swain, ths comedian of Morosco's Grand Opera-house, severs his connection with that house on March 31. Mr. Swain has Bev- «:iftl offers m.der consideration, but has not ac- cepted one. Frederick Wardo proposes to send his prom- ising yoang son, Krnest, to Europe for a tour of the principal theaters, in order that he may gam n knowledge of the methods of the lead- ingforeign acton. John B. Kellerd, the leading man of Miss Marie f'.urr. ughs' '"ompniiy,has had a musical education of a high order. Before coming to America he was ;he organist of the Church of AllSaints, London. Shakespeare's "Two Gentlemen of Verona," which was produced at Daly's Theater lßst Monday night, Jir.l not been seen in New York for fifty yean. Very few of the present day have ever seen this clever comedy of the great bard. MRegie Bursell, the well-known dancer, whose whereabouts for the past few years has been a mystery to many of her admirers on the Pacific Slope, has turned up inNew York City, where she la arranging engagements for the coming season. Pieces in which woman is in the title fall. Vide: "The Coming Woman," "The New \u25a0Woman" and "A Woman's Revenge." Pieces in which the word prirl figures in the title suc- ceed. As ior instance: "The Dancing Girl" and "AGaiety Girl." Itis said that Manager Charles P. Hall of the Auditorium, in San Jose, and R. K.Gardner, formerly connected with the Orpheum of this city, have leased the Auditorium, on Eddy and Jones streets, and will convert it into a first- class vaudeville house. Frank 1,. Hoogs arrived from Hawaii by the last .steamer and will enjoy a visit of a month or two with his family in this city. Mr. Hoogs is interested in the well-known Hawaiian pa- per, the Paradise of the Pacific, and is the rep- resentative of the Associated Press in Hono- lulu. "The City of Pleasure," a new play of pow- erful human interest by George R. Sims, has been secured for America byDaniel and Charles Frohman. It is of "The Two Orphans" type, and is located in Paris. It will be produced simultaneously in New York at the Empire Theater and inLondon. Louis Massen of the Marie Burroughs Com- pany, and "Fighting Bob" Evans, captain of the cruiser New York, are intimate friends and were in the Naval Academy together. As time progressed Massen thought Jie would rather become an actor than an officer. Andhe did. Miss Beatrice Harraden is rather amused at a dramatized version of "Ships That Pass in the Night," which is perambulating the West- ern boards. When the play was to appear in fcmi Diego Miss Harraden said: "I cannot im- agine what they found to dramatize, and so go »« learn." "The Princess Nicotine," which is under- lined for early production at theTivoli, is by that extremely popular and successful libret- tist, Charles Alfred Byrne, and the popular composer, W. W. Furst. It made a hit when jw«cented inNew York and is of the class of light-opera work that the patrons of the Tivoli have shown a marked preference for during the past two years. IN THE SHADES OF MORALITY. Miss Marie Burroughs Will Present Another Epigram Play. There is a delicate art in the shades of feeling through which Miss Marie Bur- rough leads Leslie Brudenell in the four acts of Mr. Pinero'a morality drama, "The Profligate." Miss Burroughs is a charm- ing, easy and graceful actress, and she has the wonderful power of creating a deep impression with her eyes and bunds and lips a dramatic trinity which she holds with a tight imp. She is the type of the young girl which all playwrights might profit by following. She appeals to human sympathies by the most artistic methods, and she holds that her art is the tim requis- ite of her success. To-morrow evening Miss Burroughs will be seen at tin 1 Baldwin Theater in "judah," a play by Henry Arthur Jones. It is a drama which is based on a powerful love story : itmoves through pictures of English try scenery, and touches the follies of London society. It seems that no play from the pen of an Englishman would be given any attention to-day if it did not parade some London society skeleton through three or four acts. There was a time when no dramatist would have dared to advance theories and expound epigrams at ihe expense of the aristocracy, but to- day they are the mainstays of every play that comes along, and Mr. "Wilde, Mr. Jones, Mr. Grundy and Mr. Pinero are writing the subject into the ground. Mis-^ Burroughs play s Vashti in "Judah," and will be supported by Mr. Kellerd, Mr. Massen and the remainder of her company. ANOTHER WEEK OF TEMPEEANCE. To Be Followed by an English Farce at the California. The last week of the successful engage- ment of Hoyt's"A Temperance Town" commences to-morrow night at the Cal- ifornia Theater. Mr. Hoyt is distinctively an American author, and his quaint way of handling his subjects shows he has a little of that which men call genius. Everybody laughs at the funny incidents which he handles so cleverly with his satirical pen, and everybody is moved to tears by tiie tenderness of his pathos. But Mr. Hoyt always cheats the audience out of its tears by the introduction of some un- expected and funny incident at the saddest moment. Ittakes more than one hearing to catch the many clever things in "A Temperance Town," and to find out when the fun begins and the pathos ends. Miss Emily Bancker, the yount: actress who follows prohibition at the California, was one of the pretty English girls who made up the clever company of the late Rosina "Yokes. She used to "play the dis- tracted daughter with Felix Morris in "The Old Musician," and all of the com- panion pieces to Miss Yokes, and while all critics praised her some said that she looked like Mary Anderson. When Miss Vokcs died, Emily Bancker blossomed out ' as a star in a real'live English farce, "Our ! Flat," and made a success. The farce I conies to the coast heralded by reports of "a hundred nights here" and ""a hundred I and fifty nights there," backed up by little ' complimentary notices by Willie Winter, I Franklin Fyles, Alan Dak- and other New- York critics. San Francisco will be honored with the eight hundredth per- formance of the farce, which takes place on March 18. If all that has been said and heard about Miss Bancker and her play ia true it will be a great performance. "GIROFLE-GIROFLA" AGAIN. The Tivoli Will Give a Big Production of the Popular Opera. The Tivoli attraction for next week will be.Lecocq's "Girofle-Girofla," which will be presented with a fine cast and appropriate dressing and scenery. This opera ha 3 served as a vehicle for the introduction of new lyric stars to the comic opera stage and contains a? much catchy music as any opera ever written. The cast will include the favorite members of that company. Miss Plaisted will have the title role, a part in which she has scored many suc- cesses,and Fanny Liddiard will play Aurora. Ferris Hartman will be Don Bolero, who is bothered by impecuniosity and a wife with a temper of her own. John J. Raffael will sing the part of Mourzouk, Phil Branson will be the timid Marasquin, and Alice Nielsen and Katie Loomis will play Pedro and Paquita. Following " Girofie-Girorla " "Nanon" will be presented with a perfect cast. "Princess Nicotine" will be given later. A new burlesque is being written espe- cially for the Tivoliby Messrs. Wilson and Hirschbach, entitled "Little Robinson Crusoe." It will have an early production. AT THE ORPHEUM. Three New Attractions Announced for Next Week. The Orpheum continues to draw large audiences, the new people and the re-ap- pearance of Lydia Yeamans-Titus having found plenty of favor during the week. The management announces three new acts to-morrow evening, by Magee and Crimmins, La Rejzolancita and her sisters and the Brothers Forrest. Magee and Crimmins are grotesque comedians of an entertaining type; La Regolancita and her tiny sisters "will per- form a fairy ballet, and the Brothers For- rest will give some new jokes and songs. One of the best attractions that, the Or- pheum has had is Les Quatre Diezs. the Parisian dancers and singers. They are the liveliest of their kind that the city has seen for a number of moons, and the vast amount, of abandon which accompanies their pirouetting and singing makes their performance truly chic. A DOUBLE ATTRACTION. "Black Crook" and "Humpty Dumpty" at Stockwell's. "The Black Crook" and the famous "Humpty Dompty" will be the attraction at Stockwell's Theater next week. This will be the first time in the history of these two successes that any attempt has been made to combine them in a. single per- formance. The entire double companies will appear. There will be two clowns (the famous French clown, Pizarello, and the English pantomime clown, Sparrow), who will caper and delight with the harle- quin, columbine and pantaloon. The union of the vast number of specialty performers of both companies makes in- deed a {jrand army of wonders. A merry harlequinade is promised, and there will be a pageant entitled "'49, or California to the World," and "The Shower of Gold." Such a wealth of costume, color and fancy interwoven with the merry quips of the pantomimists, and deftly strengthened by the specialty performers, must indeed make it a performance worth seeing. "THE FENCING MASTER." A Lively Opera With a Lively Prima Donna at Its Head. Reginald de Koven's successful opera, "The Fencing Master," will be seen on the Baldwin stage on Monday, March I*. Itis headed by Miss Dorothy Morton, an art- istic little lady, who was seen here some years ago in Hallen and Hart's "Later On." when "The Fencing Master" was lirst produced Marie Tempest was the star and she made the opera a success. When it was put on the road Miss Morton was selected to take Miss Tempest's place and according to the Eastern press, she has quite eclipsed her English sister. Miss Morton can sing and dance in a way that is peculiarly her own. She is pretty *nd attractive and a soubrette of the dashing order. Over in Oakland, The Macdonough Theater, Oakland, will reopen on Monday, March 18, with Hoyt's "A Temperance Town." Three perform- ances will be given instead of two as pre- viously announced, owing to the comedy's great success at the California Theater. "A Temperance Town is not intended for a temperance lecture, but a very good moral might be found in Mr. Hoyt's clever story. Marie Burroughs will also appear at the Macdonough. AT THE ALCAZAR. "The Clemenceau Case" Will Be Brought Forward Once More. The Charles Riggs Company will begin a week's engagement at the Alcazar to- morrow in a dramatization of the sensa- tional romance, "The Clemenceau Case," which startled the theatrical world several years ago. The company is a capable one and contains among others Miss Rose Stillman, a pretty woman with a good fig- ure, and a good actress. Her performance of Iza has been highly spoken of. A. C. Henderson will be the Pierre of the cast. The play will be mounted and costumed correctly. As an additional feature the "whirlwind dancers," the Sisters O'Brien, will be seen in their great specialty. This afternoon and evening will seethe last performance of "'The Black Crook Ud to Date," which has more than equaled expectations. It has drawn large houses and has been a success in every way. At the Wigwam. "Pocahontas," a new musical burlesque, wiil be presented at the Wigwam for one \u25a0week, commencing to-morrow night. Miss Alice York, a well-known English bur- lesque actress, has been engaged specially for this production and she will be sup- ported by a clever company. In the oho will be McCree and Millar, the Sisters Manly, the California Trio and Frank Law- lor. New scenery and a ballet will be notable features of the performance. "IN THE RANKS." ItIs Scoring a Two Weeks' Success at Mo- rosco's Grand Opera-House, At Morosco's "In the Ranks" nas proved successful enough to be kept on the boards for another week. One of the startling effects in the production is. the locomotive and snowplow, which dash over the stage to the wild plaudits of the gallery gods and the apparent fear of the heroine, and which cost Mr. Morosco in the neighbor- hood of $500. Miss Hall, the new leading lady, has been well received and promises to add interest to the Grand Opera-house performances. Zatherine Grey's Success. Katherine Grey has made a marked suc- cess on her tour through the South in Richard Mansfield's company. The Mom- phis Commercial Appeal says: "Miss Grey as Louka in 'Arms and the Man' is full 01 tire, yet shows the moderation of a finished actress, who avoids the danger of overdoing. In the hands of a less careful actress the part would suffer much, for there is in it much temptation to extrava- gance." The Louisville Courier prints: "The Louka of Miss Grey is one of the most picturesque and well-colored charac- terizations recently seen. The sullen, low-born beauty, ambitious and passion- ate, is finely depicted in every detail and warrants prediction that might seem ex- travagant for the future of this young actress." Miss Grey was formerly Misa Best of this city. MR. MOBGENSTERN'S BENEFIT. It Will Take Place at the Baldwin Next Bunday Night, Louis A. Morgenstern, the genial treas- urer of the Baldwin Theater, will be ten- dered a benefit at that bouse on Sunday evening next. Miss Marie Burroughs will present "Judah" on that occasion. Mr. Morgenstern has been the treasurer of the BaldwinTheater for a great many years. His smiling countenance is known to every theate"r-goer in Ban Francisco, and by his courteous treatment and kind disposition he has made hosts of friends in this city. A NEW SOCIETY ENTERTAINMENT Telepathy Party ami Hold-Hands-All- Arouncl the New Fad. Society folk must have something be- sides social functions to interest them. Palmistry and astrology have both had their sways for two seasons. There is not a fashionable woman but knows her future, her f;ito and her his position that is, if she brought a devotee's faith to the science. The present vogue is telepathy. People want to see if transmission of thought is possible, and if they can compel others to do their bidding by an unspoken desire. Mrs. Paran Stevens pays large sums of money to noted conjurers for an appear- ance at her entertainments, amusing the guests by all that is weird in mind-reading and feats of legerdemain. It is, therefore, a natural result that fashionable attention should turn toward physical experiments. These evenings devoted to telepathy at fashionable houses, says the New York Press, are the outcome. The regulation exquisite dressing, elabo- rate supper and a noted orchestra are the accessories of a "telepathy party." The modus operand! is to arrange the guests in a circle, holding each other's hands. Per- fect silence is observed. The leader, one who is held to possess unusual power, puts her mind upon a certain thought, ana she must will it that the working of her brain is transmitted to the person whose hand she holds. The receiver of this thought adda something to it, and in turn sends it on through the electric current of her rin- gers to her neighbor's brain. This trans- mission is continued around the entire circle. When the last guest is reached the hands remain in touch, while each person relates the product of her brain, and to be tip to professional standards the thought should have grown as naturally as an acorn to an oak. This successful result is what the women who are giving so many hours to its study aim for. As . game of the morning hours it is outrivaling duplicate whist in popularity, and some of the young women who won trophies in that field are fitting themselves to be victors in this contest of mind-reading. Even the debutantes, who naturally consider life made of tea, roses and dancing, are inclined to be patronizing and join in the amusement. One "bud" confessed that she and her boon friend hold hands through the sermon on Sun- day and compare thoughts afterward, "and," she added, "we generally succeed, for there is nothing to distract us, you know, and we can't talk." As for the science of telepathy, itis only old wine in a new bottle. "Tis the old- fashioned mind-reading, an inferior sort of hypnotism that has amused the gay little circles at army posts in the West for many years. The child who used to say at school, "Can you tell me what 1 am thinking about? s ' thought itmost w.onderful if the companion guessed right, but the enthusi- astic smart woman of to-day will tell you that ifhas its root in a scientific fact; ina word, vibrations. That sight, sound, thought are each the product of the air- waves. You admit that, and she goes on with her theory. "Now," she says, "your medium is the person whose vibrations fit into your vibra- tions. Each person has one peculiar to herself. Yours may be a right-handed rotary motion and hers a left-handed ro- tary movement, and when you try to bring them together they fit as "the spirals of a corkscrew. It is well known that an elec- tric current held in one hand will pass through the body of the person you touch ; these brain currents do the sumo thing. There is nothing at all wonderful about it when you study it," she gliblyconcluded. So ilrne. JJlavatsky said of theosophy, but of the many who consent to join the circle few pretend to comprehend. These telepathy parties are' not always composed of the gentler sex. Unbelieving men are inveigled into coming, "for,"re- marked a bright girl last week, "we want to see if they can prove the ownership of stronger minds." S'or does the evening consist of the one variety of trial men- tioned. A member of the party is sent from the room and the circle sit like a silent jury deciding that he shall do their will. He plays the piano, finds hidden articles, pours out a glass of water and hands it to some designated guest, etc. The papers have been humorously refer- ring, in an anonymous manner, to a young society couple recently betrothed, who, it is said, found their affinity by the fitting in of vibrations at telepathy parties. Not half so bad an idea, this, for the advocates of the failure of marriage to propose in de- termining the congeniality of parties. Instead of the usual courting, when man and woman try to find if tastes agree by the medium of even insincere language, they could fold hands and. fervently think. If "comparison proved a simultaneous working of brains the couple's destiny would be solved. Imagine the fin de siecle Juliet exclaiming: to her Romeo: "Iam thine forever. The vibration of the mole- cules of mv brain go with a right-hand rotary movement into yours, and the two lit together as strands of rope." There is an army surgeon at Governors Island who, his friends assert, can compel his opponent to make whatever move on the chess-board he wishes by transmission of thought. His invariable success^ has earned him the sobriquet of "Ajeab," but since his success has been confessedly as- signed to telepathic power, a game with him is the most interesting afternoon event at the club. There are amusing penalties connected with greatness. Mr. dv Manner's mail since "Trilby" made a world-wide sensa- tion has been large and picturesque. Not the least amusing of the letters he receives are those from truly rural and goody-goody people, who write to denounce what they call the immorality of his famous novel. Prom all parts of the world come these epistles, and many of them are very un- compromising in their narrow - minded criticism. Miss Helen Henry, Soubrette of Mo- rosco's Grand Opera-house.

light-opera work that the patrons of the Tivolihave shown a marked preference for duringthe past two years.

IN THE SHADES OF MORALITY.

Miss Marie Burroughs Will Present AnotherEpigram Play.

There is a delicate art in the shades offeeling through which Miss Marie Bur-rough leads Leslie Brudenell in the fouracts of Mr. Pinero'a morality drama, "TheProfligate." Miss Burroughs is a charm-ing, easy and graceful actress, and shehas the wonderful power of creating adeep impression with her eyes and bundsand lips

—a dramatic trinity which she

holds witha tight imp. She is the type ofthe young girl which allplaywrights mightprofit by following. She appeals tohumansympathies by the most artistic methods,and she holds that her art is the tim requis-ite of her success.

To-morrow evening Miss Burroughs willbe seen at tin1 Baldwin Theater in "judah,"a play by Henry Arthur Jones. It is adrama which is based on a powerful lovestory :itmoves through pictures of English

try scenery, and touches the follies ofLondon society. It seems that no playfrom the pen of an Englishman would begiven any attention to-day if it did notparade some London society skeletonthrough three or four acts. There was atime when no dramatist would have daredto advance theories and expound epigramsat ihe expense of the aristocracy, but to-day they are the mainstays of every playthat comes along, and Mr. "Wilde, Mr.Jones, Mr. Grundy and Mr. Pinero arewriting the subject into the ground.

Mis-^ Burroughs plays Vashti in "Judah,"and willbe supported by Mr. Kellerd, Mr.Massen and the remainder of her company.

ANOTHER WEEK OF TEMPEEANCE.

To Be Followed by an English Farce at theCalifornia.

The last week of the successful engage-ment of Hoyt's"A Temperance Town"commences to-morrow night at the Cal-ifornia Theater. Mr. Hoyt is distinctivelyan American author, and his quaint wayof handling his subjects shows he has alittle of that which men call genius.Everybody laughs at the funny incidentswhich he handles so cleverly with hissatirical pen, and everybody is moved totears by tiie tenderness of his pathos. ButMr.Hoyt always cheats the audience outof its tears by the introduction of some un-expected and funny incident at the saddestmoment. Ittakes more than one hearingto catch the many clever things in "ATemperance Town," and to find out whenthe fun begins and the pathos ends.

Miss Emily Bancker, the yount: actresswho follows prohibition at the California,was one of the pretty English girls whomade up the clever company of the lateRosina "Yokes. She used to "play the dis-tracted daughter with Felix Morris in"The Old Musician," and all of the com-panion pieces to Miss Yokes, and while allcritics praised her some said that she

looked like Mary Anderson. When MissVokcs died, Emily Bancker blossomed out

'as a star in a real'live English farce, "Our!Flat," and made a success. The farce Iconies to the coast heralded by reports of"a hundred nights here" and ""a hundred Iand fiftynights there," backed up by little

'complimentary notices by Willie Winter, IFranklin Fyles, Alan Dak- and other New-York critics. San Francisco will behonored with the eight hundredth per-formance of the farce, which takes placeon March 18. Ifall that has been said andheard about Miss Bancker and her play iatrue it willbe a great performance.

"GIROFLE-GIROFLA" AGAIN.The TivoliWill Give a BigProduction of the

Popular Opera.The Tivoliattraction for next week will

be.Lecocq's "Girofle-Girofla," which willbepresented witha fine cast and appropriatedressing and scenery. This opera ha 3served as a vehicle for the introduction ofnew lyric stars to the comic opera stageand contains a? much catchy music as anyopera ever written. The cast will includethe favorite members of that company.Miss Plaisted will have the title role, apart in which she has scored many suc-cesses,and Fanny Liddiard willplay Aurora.Ferris Hartman willbe Don Bolero, who isbothered by impecuniosity and a wife witha temper of her own. John J. Raffael willsing the part of Mourzouk, Phil Bransonwill be the timid Marasquin, and AliceNielsen and Katie Loomis will play Pedroand Paquita.

Following"

Girofie-Girorla"

"Nanon"will be presented with a perfect cast."Princess Nicotine" willbe given later.

A new burlesque is being written espe-cially for the Tivoliby Messrs. Wilson and

Hirschbach, entitled "Little RobinsonCrusoe." Itwillhave an early production.

AT THE ORPHEUM.

Three New Attractions Announced for NextWeek.

The Orpheum continues to draw largeaudiences, the new people and the re-ap-pearance of Lydia Yeamans-Titus havingfound plenty of favor during the week.The management announces three newacts to-morrow evening, by Magee andCrimmins, La Rejzolancita and her sistersand the Brothers Forrest.

Magee and Crimmins are grotesquecomedians of an entertaining type; LaRegolancita and her tiny sisters "will per-form a fairy ballet, and the Brothers For-rest willgive some new jokes and songs.

One of the best attractions that, the Or-pheum has had is Les Quatre Diezs. the

Parisian dancers and singers. They arethe liveliest of their kind that the city hasseen for a number of moons, and the vastamount, of abandon which accompaniestheir pirouetting and singing makes theirperformance truly chic.

A DOUBLE ATTRACTION.

"Black Crook" and "Humpty Dumpty" atStockwell's.

"The Black Crook" and the famous"Humpty Dompty" will be the attractionat Stockwell's Theater next week. Thiswillbe the first time in the history of thesetwo successes that any attempt has beenmade to combine them in a. single per-formance. The entire double companieswill appear. There will be two clowns(the famous French clown, Pizarello, andthe English pantomime clown, Sparrow),who willcaper and delight with the harle-quin, columbine and pantaloon.

The union of the vast number ofspecialtyperformers of both companies makes in-deed a {jrand army of wonders. A merryharlequinade is promised, and there willbe a pageant entitled "'49, or California tothe World," and "The Shower of Gold."

Such a wealth of costume, color andfancy interwoven with the merry quips ofthe pantomimists, and deftly strengthenedby the specialty performers, must indeedmake it a performance worth seeing.

"THE FENCING MASTER."

ALively Opera With aLively Prima Donna atIts Head.

Reginald de Koven's successful opera,"The Fencing Master," willbe seen on theBaldwin stage on Monday, March I*. Itisheaded by Miss Dorothy Morton, an art-istic little lady, who was seen here someyears ago in Hallen and Hart's "LaterOn." when "The Fencing Master" waslirst produced Marie Tempest was the starand she made the opera a success. Whenit was put on the road Miss Mortonwas selected to take Miss Tempest's placeand according to the Eastern press, she hasquite eclipsed her English sister. MissMorton can sing and dance in a way thatis peculiarly her own. She is pretty *ndattractive and a soubrette of the dashingorder.

Over in Oakland,

The Macdonough Theater, Oakland, willreopen onMonday, March 18, with Hoyt's"A Temperance Town." Three perform-ances willbe given instead of two as pre-viously announced, owing to the comedy'sgreat success at the California Theater."ATemperance Town is not intended fora temperance lecture, but a very goodmoral might be found inMr. Hoyt's cleverstory. Marie Burroughs will also appearat the Macdonough.

AT THE ALCAZAR.

"The Clemenceau Case" Will Be BroughtForward Once More.

The Charles Riggs Company will begina week's engagement at the Alcazar to-morrow in a dramatization of the sensa-tional romance, "The Clemenceau Case,"which startled the theatrical world severalyears ago. The company is a capable oneand contains among others Miss RoseStillman, a pretty woman with a good fig-ure, and a good actress. Her performanceof Iza has been highly spoken of. A. C.Henderson willbe the Pierre of the cast.The play will be mounted and costumedcorrectly. As an additional feature the"whirlwinddancers," the Sisters O'Brien,willbe seen in their great specialty.

This afternoon and evening will seethelast performance of "'The Black Crook Ud

to Date," which has more than equaledexpectations. It has drawn large housesand has been a success inevery way.

At the Wigwam."Pocahontas," a new musical burlesque,

wiilbe presented at the Wigwam for one

\u25a0week, commencing to-morrow night. MissAlice York, a well-known English bur-lesque actress, has been engaged speciallyfor this production and she will be sup-ported by a clever company. In the ohowill be McCree and Millar, the SistersManly, the California Trio and Frank Law-lor. New scenery and a ballet will benotable features of the performance.

"IN THE RANKS."

ItIs Scoring a Two Weeks' Success at Mo-rosco's Grand Opera-House,

AtMorosco's "Inthe Ranks" nas provedsuccessful enough to be kept on the boardsfor another week. One of the startlingeffects in the production is. the locomotiveand snowplow, which dash over the stage

to the wild plaudits of the gallery godsand the apparent fear of the heroine, andwhich cost Mr.Morosco in the neighbor-hood of $500. Miss Hall, the new leadinglady, has been well received and promisesto add interest to the Grand Opera-houseperformances.

Zatherine Grey's Success.Katherine Grey has made a marked suc-

cess on her tour through the South inRichard Mansfield's company. The Mom-phis Commercial Appeal says: "MissGrey as Louka in 'Arms and the Man' isfull 01 tire, yet shows the moderation of afinished actress, whoavoids the danger ofoverdoing. In the hands of a less carefulactress the part would suffer much, forthere is in itmuch temptation to extrava-gance." The Louisville Courier prints:"The Louka of Miss Grey is one of themost picturesque and well-colored charac-terizations recently seen. The sullen,low-born beauty, ambitious and passion-ate, is finely depicted in every detail andwarrants prediction that might seem ex-travagant for the future of this youngactress." Miss Grey was formerly MisaBest of this city.

MR. MOBGENSTERN'S BENEFIT.

It Will Take Place at the Baldwin NextBunday Night,

Louis A. Morgenstern, the genial treas-urer of the Baldwin Theater, will be ten-dered a benefit at that bouse on Sundayevening next. Miss Marie Burroughs will

present "Judah" on that occasion. Mr.Morgenstern has been the treasurer of theBaldwinTheater for a great many years.His smiling countenance is known to everytheate"r-goer in Ban Francisco, and by hiscourteous treatment and kind dispositionhe has made hosts offriends in this city.

A NEW SOCIETY ENTERTAINMENTTelepathy Party ami Hold-Hands-All-

Arouncl the New Fad.Society folk must have something be-

sides social functions to interest them.Palmistry and astrology have both hadtheir sways for two seasons. There is nota fashionable woman but knows herfuture, her f;itoand her his position

—that

is,if she brought a devotee's faith to thescience.

The present vogue is telepathy. Peoplewant to see if transmission of thought ispossible, and if they can compel others todo their bidding by an unspoken desire.

Mrs. Paran Stevens pays large sums ofmoney to noted conjurers for an appear-ance at her entertainments, amusing theguests by all that is weird in mind-readingand feats of legerdemain. Itis, therefore,a natural result that fashionable attentionshould turn toward physical experiments.These evenings devoted to telepathy atfashionable houses, says the New YorkPress, are the outcome.

The regulation exquisite dressing, elabo-rate supper and a noted orchestra are theaccessories of a "telepathy party." Themodus operand! is to arrange the guests ina circle, holding each other's hands. Per-fect silence is observed. The leader, onewho is held to possess unusual power, putsher mind upon a certain thought, ana shemust willit that the working of her brainis transmitted to the person whose handshe holds. The receiver of this thoughtadda something to it, and in turn sends iton through the electric current of her rin-gers to her neighbor's brain. This trans-mission is continued around the entirecircle. When the last guest is reached thehands remain in touch, while each personrelates the product of her brain, and to betip to professional standards the thoughtshould have grown as naturally as an acornto an oak.

This successful result is what the womenwho are giving so many hours to itsstudy aim for. As . game of the morninghours it is outrivaling duplicate whist inpopularity, and some of the young womenwho won trophies in that field are fittingthemselves to be victors in this contest ofmind-reading. Even the debutantes, whonaturally consider life made of tea, rosesand dancing, are inclined to be patronizingand join in the amusement. One "bud"confessed that she and her boon friendhold hands through the sermon on Sun-day and compare thoughts afterward,"and," she added, "we generally succeed,for there is nothing to distract us, youknow, and wecan't talk."

As for the science of telepathy, itis onlyold wine in a new bottle. "Tis the old-

fashioned mind-reading, an inferior sort ofhypnotism that has amused the gay littlecircles at army posts in the West for manyyears. The child who used to say at school,"Can you tell me what 1 am thinkingabout? s' thought itmost w.onderful if thecompanion guessed right,but the enthusi-astic smart woman of to-day will tell youthat ifhas its root in a scientific fact; inaword, vibrations. That sight, sound,thought are each the product of the air-waves. You admit that, and she goes onwithher theory.

"Now," she says, "your medium is theperson whose vibrations fitintoyour vibra-tions. Each person has one peculiar toherself. Yours may be a right-handedrotary motion and hers a left-handed ro-tary movement, and when you try to bringthem together they fit as "the spirals of acorkscrew. Itis well known that an elec-tric current held in one hand willpassthrough the body ofthe person you touch ;these brain currents do the sumo thing.There is nothing at all wonderful about itwhen you study it," she gliblyconcluded.

So ilrne. JJlavatsky said of theosophy,but of the many who consent to join thecircle few pretend to comprehend.

These telepathy parties are' not alwayscomposed of the gentler sex. Unbelievingmen are inveigled into coming, "for,"re-marked a bright girl last week, "we wantto see if they can prove the ownership ofstronger minds." S'or does the eveningconsist of the one variety of trial men-tioned. A member of the party is sentfrom the room and the circle sit like asilent jury deciding that he shall do theirwill. He plays the piano, finds hiddenarticles, pours out a glass of water andhands itto some designated guest, etc.

The papers have been humorously refer-ring, inan anonymous manner, to a youngsociety couple recently betrothed, who, itis said, found their affinity by the fittingin of vibrations at telepathy parties. Nothalf so bad an idea, this, for the advocatesof the failure of marriage to propose inde-termining the congeniality of parties.

Instead of the usual courting, when manand woman try to find if tastes agree bythe medium of even insincere language,they could fold hands and. fervently think.If "comparison proved a simultaneousworking of brains the couple's destinywould be solved. Imagine the fin de siecleJuliet exclaiming: to her Romeo: "Iamthine forever. The vibration of the mole-cules of mv brain go with a right-handrotary movement into yours, and the twolit together as strands of rope."

There is an army surgeon at GovernorsIsland who, his friends assert, can compelhis opponent to make whatever move onthe chess-board he wishes by transmissionof thought. His invariable success^ hasearned him the sobriquet of "Ajeab," butsince his success has been confessedly as-signed to telepathic power, a game withhim is the most interesting afternoonevent at the club.

There are amusing penalties connectedwith greatness. Mr. dv Manner's mailsince "Trilby" made a world-wide sensa-tion has been large and picturesque. Notthe least amusing of the letters he receivesare those from truly rural and goody-goodypeople, who write to denounce what theycall the immorality of his famous novel.Prom allparts of the world come theseepistles, and many of them are very un-compromising in their narrow

-minded

criticism.
