Lavender hnd Old Lace, a four-act play made ,'from Myrtle Reed's charming love 4nry, is playing to the cu.stomary bus- ,incss at YE LIBERTY. The play is given a fine presentation by a clever cast, which contains an old-time Lib- erty favorite, Irene Outtrim, who ap- pears to good advantage as Mary Ainslie. The other prominent roles are in the capable hands of Albert IMorrison, Henry Shumer, Walter W hipple, Beth Taylor and Marta Golden. The Blindness of Virtue is in preparation. "Foy for Joy!" is the slogan at the ORPHEUM, where that professional funmaker, Eddie Foy, and the seven little Foys are the top- notchers of a fine, entertaining bill. The lion's share of applause, however, is tendered Walter de Leon and "Mug- gins" Davics, who are great favorites in Oakland, and have a singing and dancing act that pleases immensely. The balance of the program contains: Romeo the Great, Harry B. Lester, Annie Kent, Oterita, and as a special feature, Oakland School Boys' Expo- ition Band of seventy-five musicians, anders Stevens and Georgie Cooper ■e at PANT AGES. Their .sketch. ,ead.

The weather was just right .d Manager York used the finest 5nd of good judgment in his opening election, Maclame Sherry. The com- any, headed by Ferris Hartman and Myrtle Dingwell, were up to all ex- lectations, and their support left noth- ng to be desired. The scenic effects and choinis proved important features. James Gleason, after a successful Eastern tour, has returned to Oakland, and will play a six-weeks' engagement at YE LIBERTY, opening next Mon- day in The Blindness of Virtue. Louis Bennison, who has made a great suc- cess with the Damaged Goods com- pany, is around town, shaking hands witii his legion of friends. Bessie Sankey, another former Liberty favor- ite, has also returned from the East and is renewing old acquaintances. LOUIS SCHEELINE. SAN DIEGO, June i6.—Things are livening up along San Diego's Rialto. The week started in with the opening of two new moving-picture houses— The Illusion Theatre and The Parisian Theatre. The lobby of each of these theatres is gorgeously decorated, es- pecially that of the Illusion Theatre. The owner, C. A. Lisle De Holland, is one of the best artists and sculptors in the country, the creator of the Pan- ama-Cabal Extravaganza, a concession in the Panama-California Exposition, and owner of seven of the large con- cessions in the Panama-Pacific Expo- sition. Mr. Holland will run exclu- sively the first output of the Mutual Film Co. on the Pacific Coast, com- mencing with the $i,ooo,0(X) Mystery, a serial by Harold McGrath. He plans to have houses in both Los Angeles and San Francisco, each theatre to be finished in a mass of wonderful color and artisticness. He has under con- struction a Wonderland Park, Ocean Beach, a local summer resort, a Palace of Illusions, wherein he will give tab- loid descriptions of some of the old operas illusionified, changing scenes in less than half a minute. This theatre will o])en on June 20, with Pygmalion and Galatea. Included in the company are Gabrielle St. Aubyn, who will por- tray the role of Venus; Adrienne Le Compte, that of Galatea, and James H. Powers as Pygmalion. Songs and librettos by John A. St. Clair.

Beers Loos, mgr.)': The Lion and the Mouse is this week's offering, and besides being a very good performance, it demon- strated the real acting capabilities of Wm. Chapman, who took the part of John Ryder, the ruthless and unscru- pleous money king. In the part of Shirley Rossmore, or the "Mouse," Helen Carew brought into play her emotional powers, and succeeds in out- witting the brains of finance by the witchery of love. A number of new faces have been added to the Empress Players, among them Harry Webb Jorkins, Palmer Morrison, Senator Roberts and Edith Walker, as Eu- doria. The honors of the perform- ance naturally go to Miss Carew and Wm. Chapman, who bear the burden of the big scenes. GAIETY Theatre: Catherine Evans in Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch is on the boards for a week's offering, and Edna Marshall vied with Miss Evans in last night's performance in trying to see who was funniest. Miss Evans and Mrs. Wiggs and Miss Marshall as Miss Hazy, who, together with Hiram Stubbins (Wm. Jossey), fills the en- tire play with comedy of the farce variety. Clarence Bennett as Jones, the matrimonial agent, was at his best in this part; George Dill as Mistah Bob and Miss Mason as Miss Lucy were very good as usual. Glennella Porter as Lovey Mary, a sympathetic little role, and Terese Van Grove the child actress, was very clever. Will Roberts, H. D. Watson, Dorothy Driscoll', Ella Hansen, Austa Pierce and Geo. Mattison, the latter as Mr. Wigo-s complete the cast and do very goo^work. SPRECKELS Theatre: Nat C. Goodwin in Never Say Die to be here for three nights commencing June 18. BENNY.

EMPRESS Theatre: A four-act melodramatic travesty by Everett Shinn & Co., entitled More Sinned Against Than Usual, was clev- erly played and full of laughs. An- other laugh-getter was the clever sketch by Fred Hallen and Mollie Fuller, full of comical complications. A number of songs and dances were given by the Moscrop Sisters, who likewise displayed some stunning ccis- tumes. Comedy acrobatics by the Three Falconers, with dialect stories and songs.

The witnesses were Yvonne Gouraud, fos- ter daughter of the bride, and Amanda Gherson. Both the bride and the bride- groom gave their residence as the Picadilly Hotel. His age was stated as 28, hers as 40. She described her- self as Aimee Crocker (jourard, wid- ow, and daughter of Edwin Bryant Crocker.
