Vaudeville Notes Howard Nugent, equally clever in stock or vaudeville, is now playing dates over the S. & C. time, presenting the monologue, The Man From Ohio. Mclntyre and Heath have opened their season in vaudeville. They will remain on the road until Klaw & Erlanger have prepared for them a big musical comedy by H. A. Du Souchet, entitled The Steeplechasers. There also will be in the book a serious vein which will give .Mclntyre and Heath opportunity to show their ability as the best interpreters of the Southern negro type on the American stage, not only in his lighter and farcical moods, but also in his more serious moments. The Steeplechasers will be elaborately mounted and costumed. May Wuthrich, Thursday of last week came back at her husband, J. C. Wuthrich with some heavy artillery charges in reply to his suit for divorce recently filed, in which he charged her with desertion. Mrs. Wuthrich is a performer and recently appeared on the Orpheum Stage with the Tennis Trio. In her cross-complaint she recites a long list of acts on her husband's part to support a charge of cruelty. .Many instances are given, when he struck her, threatened her life, tore up her clothing and came home intoxicated. For a long time, she declares, he has failed to support her. Her daughter Alma appears on the stage with her, and there has been constant trouble between the couple as to his having the money the child earns. Several times the husband sold all the furniture in the house while the wife was at work, and often she. had to call on her brother for assistance to pay the rent. In addition to Alma, who is now of age, there is a younger daughter, Camille. Both daughter^. .Mrs. Wuthrich says, have suffered from their father's violence. Ollie Cornett, the promising young San Francisco boxer, who boxes with Papke, shows marked ability and will make a name for himself by and by. The Four English Belles, the artistic dancers at the Empire, have captured their audiences. They are all symmetrical and handsome, and are graceful and refined in movements and manner. Their repertoire consists of a sword dance with spirited fencing, followed by acrobatic, tambo and rope-skipping dances and a dashing dance of all nations. Their costumes are handsome and their changes rapid. Their dances have the London styles of steps and designs and are so distinctively different from the American ones as to be. very marked. These English belles have but a limited time on the Coast, as their home dates call for them across the water eight weeks hence. Alf James and Kate Prior show fine bits of acting and create plenty of amusement at the National in Captain Barnacle's Courtship, in which Mr. James as an ardent old salt makes strenuous love to a pretty girl who is secretly married to his son. Mr. James is a model of a hardy old sea captain in physique, make-up, voice, hearty manner and acting. His numerous mistakes and misfalls keep the audience in laughter. Kate Prior is a winsome and refined actress, and her merry foils to the captain's love making is the sunshine of the act. Barney Fagan and Henrietta Byron, otherwise Vaudeville's Distinguished Duo. are hits at the National in every line of their talking, singing, dancing and change act. Fagan is a brainy, glib-tongued comedian, and Henrietta Ilvron is a lively and piquant soubrette. Their act is full of wit and repartee that keeps up fusillades of laughter, and Miss I'vron in her rapid changes of an English, Irish, German and American girl impersonations, elegantly costumed, clinches an A-i act by her talent and versatility. Alice Robinson, the prima donna, well known in opera and concert realms in the East, won noticeable favor at the National with her sweet and cultivated soprano. Miss Robinson is an emotional singer. She evinces marked feeling and heartiness in her sentimental songs and charming coquetry in her lighter ones. Dates Ahead A Knight for a Day ( H. H.

Everything looks lovely for a bigseason. Mr. Holm has had the house renovated and painted, and a tile floor in the lobby, making it as nice a stock house as there Is in California. My contract is for one year.
