EMPRESS Theatre (R. Beers Loos, mgr.) : The Acid Te.st is being presented for still another week. The Empress opened last night to another packed house. This is' the third week. SAV( )Y The- atre : Prof. Barnold's dog and monkey actors are wonderful. Tom Kelly bids fair to prove as popular as ever. Wood and Lawson, who describe themselves as He, She and a Piano, delight with their singing and piano selections. Jerome and Carson, a pair of eccen- tric novelty artists, are fine. The Jolly Jiillier, by the Barrows-Lancaster Co. —plenty of fun and some good acting. (iAIETY'Theatre: A pleasing three- act comedy drama, with pathos, com- L'ly and Scotch dialect, harmoniously Ijlended and appropriately costumed, greeted a fairly large first-night audi- ence at this theatre last night to wit- ness the first presentation of Freckles. In the title role, Roy Van Fossen does very good work, giving a clear inter- pretation of the character of the un- Idrtunate waif. Edna Marshall, ca.st as a young girl, "The swamp angel," w hose love for Freckles gives him the strength to fight for the ultimate suc- cess he achieves, gave one of the best l)ci-formances in which she has been -ecu. George Dill as McLean, the red- hlooded lumberman, was also very good. Clarence Bennett as Mr. Dun- can, and Catherine Evans as Mrs. r Duncan, were seen in Scotch character I parts, supplying a great part of the ' comedy of the play. Glennella Por- ter as "The bird woman," and Wm. Jossey as the camp bully, were very good in their parts, as was William 1 Roberts as Sharp, the man of affairs; ' H. D. Watson as a bad Dutchman, • and .Mice Ma.son as Lady O'More. It i is a very i)leasing and interesting y)lay. I Next week, The Thief. MAJESTIC ■Theatre: Votes for Women musical 'comedy company. BENNY. OAKLAND, June 2.—The sum- mer season is upon us and the usual effect is felt in theatrical circles. The attendance at the various playhouses shows a decided falling off and the prospects are strong for at least a three-months' lull. The motion pic- tures, The Drug Terror, are still in evidence at the MACDONOUGH, and, with three daily o]ierations, the boxoffice shows only a fairly decent result. The Great Divide, one of the greatest of all modern plays, is once more the ofi^ering at YE LIBERTY, and although seen here fjuite often of late, it .still proves of great interest and gives eminent satisfaction. Al- bert Morrison as Stephen (ihent. proves his clever versatility and used his talents with telling effect. Beth Taylor as his opposite worked with life and vim and made a winsome Ruth Jordan. They received excel- lent support at the hands of J. An- thony Smythe, Ivan Miller, Walter Whipple, Frank Darien, Max Waiz- man and Marta Golden. Next week, The Right Princess. At the ORPHE- UM, not a headliner, but every num- ber good. Not a single feature but was above the ordinary, something very seldom found in a program of this kind.

PANTAGES shows Landers Stevens and Georgie Cooper in their new vehicle. The New Chief of Police. Stevens is somewhat hampered with a broken shoulder but otherwise gives his customary finished performance. Miss Cooper displays a fetching gown and looks stunning. George Qancy really achieves the hon- ors of the show. Others on the bill are Fields and Lewis, Piccaro Troupe, Torcat and Flor D'Aliza, Tracy, Goertz and Tracy, the Halkings and (lerhardt Sisters. At the COLUM- BIA Dillon and King are presenting a Mexican border skit. The Sehorita, that fairly bristles with a laugh at every turn. The two comedians, in their Irish and Hebrew characters, are as comical as ever, and not a dull mo- ment can be found during the entire ])roduction. George Spaulding, a well known character actor, makes his ap- ])earance with the company and does well. Creation, a great Biblical photo- drama, is the latest attraction at FOR THE BEST SCENERY FOR VAUDEVILLE THEATRES, OPERA HOUSES, VAUD- EVILLE ACTS, ETC. The Chas. F.

SACRAMENTO, June 3.—DIE- PEN liROCK: Ed Redmond's com- pany of actors gave the initial Coast .stock production of The Conspiracy, and, without a doubt, it was the best ])roduction the clever company have handled since they first came to Sac- ramento. Splendid work was done by Paul Harvey and Lsabelle Fletcher. Fred Harrington, a new member, cre- ated a favorable impression. The Re- juvenation of Aunt Mary will follow. EMPRESS Theatre: David Walters and a comi)etent cast of players pre- sented Salvation Sue. Mr. Walters is a finished and polished actor, h'rank and Pauline Berry returned in their laughable musical oftering, Do You Like Music, and received the same support as on their former visits. Will Morrissey and Dolly Hackett, in s(3ng and dance. The real vaudeville fea- ture was Whittier's I'arefoot Boy, an act above the ordinary. The Picchi- ani Troupe were the real headliners. They are considered the most sensa- tional and daring of acrobats on the stage. Virginia Brissac Gets a Royal Welcome in Long Beach The return of \ irginia Brissac to Long Beach on May 16 brought forth the following eulogy in one of the Long Beach papers: "The return appearance of Virginia Bris.sac and her excellent company at the Bentley after a year's absence is the talk and sensation of all the show- goers. At the performances Satur- day and Sunday, both at the matinees and night performances, hundreds wece turned away, unable to secure seats at any price. Wagonloads of beautiful flowers were showered upon Miss Brissac and the lady members of the company by the ])atrons to show their loyal admiration for the star and players. A more beautiful scene with happier surroundings have probably never been seen upon a local stage. The play, which is known as The Fortune Hunter, proved to be a wise selection, and without exception the best comedy success that this po])ular comi)any has ever offered the Long r.each showgoers. Mis? Jiri.ssac plays a very beautiful character, imperson- ating Betty Ciraham, the country girl. |ohn Wray has the leading role in Nathaniel Duncan, the fortune hunt- er, and creates no end of laughter in his original way. Mr. Wray is a wonderful -favorite with the patrons. Harry Gariety inlays the old man character of Sam (irahani with natural grace that stands out most realistic, h'velyn Hambly as the bank- er's daughter was seen to good advan- tage. Clarence Baker plays a s])len- did part in Marry Kellog, the fortune WtBERdCO. Opera Chairs All Stvl'-S of THEATBE AND EAI.I. SEATS 36S-7 Mariiet Street San Franci«co D12 So.

Howard and Margaret Nugent, two popular favorites, played their parts well, as they always do. Many other splendid jilayers arc seen in the cast." Personal Mention Monday All-of-a-Sudden Peggy will introduce Maude Leone to the patrons of the Seattle Theatre, Se- attle, as the new leading woman of the Avenue Players. Auda Due, who has been pleasing the past few weeks, will return to her ingenue parts. As a leading woman she has been success- ful. Following announcement last Monday that Francesca Ramona Rad- cliflfe eloped to Martinez.and became the bride of Samuel E. Statler of San Francisco, it developed that the elope- ment actually occurred on October 13 last, on which date the couple were married in the Contra Costa town by Rev. Mr. Shaw. Mrs. Zoe Green Radcliffc, mother of the bride, later explained that the wedding had been kept secret because her daughter was engaged in acting for a motion-picture coni])any in Los Angeles, and desired to kcej) the fact of her marriage un- known until her contract expired. v.. 11. SoTiii-RN and Julia M.\r- i.owic departed for luigland last week. Before leaving tiiey announced that they would not play during the com- ing season, but woidd return to .\mer- ica next year and make their farewell tour in Shakespearean repertoire. The plays in which they will a])pear are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, .\s You Like It. Taming of the Shrew, and The Merchant of Venice. Mr.s. Sothcrn is much improved in health, and after a year's comi)kle rest it is promised that she will be completely recovered. Mrs. Sothern was com- l)elled to give up the stage last De- cember while i)laying with Mr. Sothern in Los Angeles. Mr. and Mrs. Solhern will spend the summer in England and the winter in the south of France. I
