His Omar the Tentmaker, with Guy Bates Post in the leading role, is surely a winner and is deserv- ing of great attendance. It is a Persian romance, a novelty entirely out of the ordinary, and is interesting from start to finish. It is booked for an entire week and will ])lay to crowded houses at every perforinance. At YE Llli- FRTY, Officer 6'/), an exceptionally lively comedy, is given a fine presen- tation at the hands of the regular liishop compan\', headed by James (deason. It is one of the best ofifer- ings of the season an 1 affords good o])portunities to P^ank Darien. J. An- thony Smythe, Walter Whipple, Ivan Miller, (George Webster, Beth Taylor, Marta Golden and Jane Urban. The Japanese, Tameo Kajiyama, in his caligraphic exhibition of psychological interest is certainly one of the won- ders of the vaudeville stage and is proving the one big attraction on this week's program at the ORPHEUM. The balance of the week's bill is up to standard and afifords some good en- tertainment. Irene Timmons and Co.; Percy lironson and Minnie Baldwin; Willette Whittaker, Australian wood- choppers ; Mc]\lahon, Diamond and Clemence; Paul Gordon; and The I'dying Henrys. Harry Cornell and Ethel Corley. in a crook play on the Raffles order, entitled Baffled, are the lieadliners at P.\.XTA(iES and make (|uite a hit. Cleveland and Woorl- ward in a s])arkling operetta, Cupid's Handicap, come in a close second and share the plaudits. Others on the bill are P''ive Gargonis; Clayton and Lennie; Bob P'inley and The Yates Sisters, cycling brunettes. Snookums is the Dillon and King theme at the COLUMBIA, and the fun comes fast and furious. Mirth and song are very much in order and the play as a dis- penser of the blues is a jewel. The songs are well rendered, the dances arti.stically arranged and the large au- diences show strong appreciation. The Rich Mr. Hoggenheimer is proving a good attraction out at IDC3RA, and large crowds are in evidence at every l^erformance. P^rris Hartman and Myrtle Dingwell continue to be the |)0])ular favorites. LOUIS SCHEELINF. SAN DIEGO. June 30.—The PANAROMA roof garden is ojjen for the summer, and from indi- cations, it seems that they will be turn- ing the (crowds away every might. Carol P>arker, the prima domia, has an exceptionally beautiful voice; i'ea- trice Sherwin. a very petite soubrette, has many winning ways, and Lida Leslie, coon-shouter and ragtime singer, is very pleasing. Leon Has- kell, the boy with the violin, and Wm. Schiller at the i)ian(). EMPRICSS Theatre ( R. i Seers Loos, mgr.); The Three of L"s as produced at the Em- press this week is well worthy of be- ing called a two-dollar show, the pro- duction and acting leaves nothing to be desired. As Rhy McChesney, Helen Carev/ scored another triumjdi. Pier acting was su]ierb. Warren Ells- worth, as Stephen Townley, had a part which he was riglit at home with. The character of Louis Beres- ford was portrayed by Jack P'raser, who had a chance to display more than ever his very fine acting. Stella Watts, as usual, leaves nothing to be desired in the portrayal of her role. William Chapman, as Lorimer Trenhol, handles his part in a very capable manner, as does Walter Spencer as Clem McChesney. Master Wm. Gut- teron, especially engaged for this week's production, is a very clever young actor. Palmer MorrLson, Plar- ry Webb and others are very good in minor roles. GAIETY Theatre; Thy Xeighbors is the bill this week at tlie popular little theatre. Edna Marshall enacts the role of Claudia Allston and Alice Joyce as Mrs. All- .ston, both sharing very high honors in their interpretations and showing to splendid advantage in their emo- tional roles. (]ieorge Dill as Frank Bartlett was very good. Glennela Porter as Nellis Willcut furnishes a good part of the comedy throughout the performance. William Jossey ac- quitted himself well in the part of Edward Jones, as did H. D. Watson as Judge Willcut. The minor roles were all well acted. SAVOY Theatre. Pantages; Pony Moore and Company in the Jolly Tars is the headliner this week, followed by the Four Military Girls, Plrown and Jackson, singing and dancing numbers that are very pleasing, J. Edwin Crapo and Com- ])any in a pretty little sketch, The (har- den of Passion, and Frank Bush en- tertains with some great stories. The .\nicrican Publishing Company are putting out sets of ])ictures of the lM)])ular movie actors. They are very artistic and jiromise to become quite po])ular. The Ori)heum commences at the SPRh:CKELS Theatre on September 1st. In the meantime the house is nmning the big feature films. |. Warren Kerrigan in Samson is playing this week. The beaches are all o])en now and are all handling big crowds. h is hard to tell which is the most ])o])ular. Coronado Beach, including Tent City, or Wonderland Park, Pacific iieach. The big cele- bration which is lo lie held on ihc third, fourth and fifth, is already to begin and trainkxuls of |)eople are l)ouring in from the north, 'idie Wat- son-Cross boxing contest is ])roving a drawing card in itself, especially since the Kivers-Wolgast match has been cancelled. lld.l'SlO.X Theatre; (Leonard and Holland, nigrs,): 'i'he big Thanouser i)ictm-e, 'i'lic .Million Dollar Mystery, has just .started ami is proving to be (|uitc ])opular. The .\l I l\l\( )l\ Theatre is closed again. On board the (iirl of the Golden West, a merry party, consisting of the Empress players and their guests, set sail for the Coronado Islands and adjacent fishing grounds at 6:30 o'clock PTiday morning of last week. At least it was a merry party that returned, although can- dor compels the admission that cer- tain favorites of the footlights were anything but happy during that por- tion of the voyage the Girl of the Golden West pitched and rolled up- on the cobalt blue surface of the well known Pacific Ocean. When the fishermen returned it was found that Jack PYaser was high line, land- ing a I9j^-lb. yellowtail, although D. L. P>rry had landed a beauty after a hard fight. Helen Carew carried away the honors of the first catch—a sea bass. Throughout the day the photographers were busy, snapping here and there those with mal-de-mer. In the party were Jack Eraser, Bertha Morris, Stella Watts, Gladys Day, D. I. Ferry, Harry Webb, Helen Carew, Warren Ells- worth, Dorris Pawn, Walter Spen- cer, Mrs. B. G. Saville, Helen Hooke, Freddie Groves, Jack Johnson, Bob Scipper, W. Wartenberg,, P. War- tenberg, Billy Reeves, PYank P)ay, Mrs. A. J. Santee, William Moun- tain, Sydnev I. Snow, Capt. S. E. Clyne, Dr. George S. Hollister, Mrs. LarroU Hollister and Mary Riddele. BENXY.
