Vaudeville Notes The many friends of Sol Pincus of the Wigwam, brother of Manager Pincus. will be shocked to learn of the sudden death of his wife last week. The Dramatic Review extends heartfelt sympathy. Anna Suits, a San Franciscan who will be remembered as a clever child performer here a few years ago, returns again as a dashing and clever actress in vaudeville, a beautiful woman and a fashion-plate of style. W. H. Weber will open on May 2d the New York, a burlesque and vaudeville house, seating 1,000 people, on Pacific Street, near Montgomery. Jerome Bassity and Dick McCreadie are interested in the house. The Rehearsal, at 2063 Sutter Street, has betome the headquarters for the visiting vaudevillians. The new proprietors are genial and know how to cater to the liquid demands of their patrons. James P. Lee returns to the Unique in Los Angeles for a six months' engagement, on May nth, as producer of funny things. The Lee Company disbands here at the close of their six months' Engagement at the Empire, on May 3d. Grace Tempest Miss Grace Tempest, of the Grace Tempest Trio, at the National, a well-known favorite in the East, has made a great success all along the line of Sullivan & Considine, touring in the Northwest, and is repeating her triumphs in San Francisco. Miss Tempest is a charming actress and has elegant wardrobes. She is assisted by James Dunn and Stanley Warner in her refined singing and dancing act. Al. G. Flournoy This all-around theatrical man, manager, actor and producer for the past forty-seven weeks with the James P. Lee Comedy Players, announces in our columns that he will be at liberty after May 3. Mr. Flournoy first came prominently before us when he was appointed by John Considine manager of the Lyceum, and set that theatre on its road to prosperity and kept it there for many months before the fire. Afterwards he joined the Lee Company, that was playing at the Lyceum, and went to Los Angeles, and has been with it ever since, in its forty-seven weeks' different productions, and part of the time as manr ager. Mr. Flournoy would be & valuable man in any company in any capacity. 1*1 1 • Sidelights The preliminary hearing of Zena Pollard, who is charged with assault to commit murder, was commenced before Police Judge Shortall Thursday morning. Mrs. Pollard, according to the charge, on the evening of April 5th shot five times at her husband, Harry Pollard, none of the shots wounding him seriously. Pollard denies that his wife shot him and testified that he had shot himself. Judge Shortall informed Pollard that he must be perjuring himself to testify in such fashion. i^ollard stuck to his story, however. The hearing was continued Friday morning. S. H. Friedlander has opened the Tivoli Opera House at Third Avenue and Pine Street, Seattle, as the home of burlesque. The first production is Girls in Girl Land. The prices will range from 15 to 50 cents.
