Correspondence 0.\KL.\ND, June 9.— i;isho])'s in- lovation of two dilTcrent plays each vening is in full operation and gives vidence of proving a success from 11 standpoints. The only feature that id not appeal to the public was the ising of the curtain for the first per- ormance at 7 o'clock, it being alto- ether too early and proved very in- onvenient. In order to obviate this nconvenience. ^Manager Bishop has rranged to open the plays at 8 o'clock nd with a continuous performance hich, witii the contrivance of his re- olving stage, he can easily do, the ;cond play will terminate not later han 11 o'clock, thus giving the two performances in exactly the same time that it ordinarily takes for one. This week the management is offering its patrons two of the best shows on the calender, Billy and Alias Jimmie Valentine, each performance having a distinct and separate cast. In the former James Gleason and Jane Url)an have the leading roles, while in the latter the heavy work falls on h>ank- lyn Underwood and Frances Slos.son. Others of Bishop's large aggregation who are largely responsible for this week's success are iiroderick O'Far- rell, George Web.ster, Walter Win'p- pie, Robert Lawlor, Jack Pollard and Mrs. (dcason. The attendance has been fully up to the Liberty standard and it looks very much as if Manager Bishop's expectations arc to l)e realized to the fullest extent. All the Com- forts of Home and Seven Sisters will follow. At the Macdonough, Ray- mond Hitchcock is presenting Harris & Coiian's latest musical comedy, The Red Widow. The |)lay embodies all the spirit and dasli tliat always characterizes Cohan's plays and the songs and music are rendered in a manner that brings frequent and spontaneous encores. Tiie balance of the company, headed l)y Flora Za- belie, is above the average. Hanky Panky is booked, 16-18, and Madam Nazimova, 23-25. Manager Ebey is giving his patrons one of the most notable bills of the season with Gus Edwards and his 1912 song review, as the chief attraction. This number is a hummer and gets a great ovation at every performance. The attend- ance throughout tlie week has been very satisfactory and the following numl)crs come in for a good .share of applause: Chief Caupolican, The Cromwells, Willard & Cain, Kramer & Morton, Woods & Woods Trio, Will J. Ward. At Pantages business continues good and a .strong card, headed by Julie Ring, a clever come- dienne, is proving some excellent en- tertainment. Besides this talented little lady, the bill ofifers Peaches, Three Flying Fishers, Temple Quar- tette, Joe Carroll, Lelliott 15roth- ers, and Leon Wad|elle. Dillon & King's offering at the Columbia for tlie current week is a travesty on l>abes in the Woods, entitled A Pair of Kids. The two comedians, Dillon and King, keep the humor flying tiiick and fast and the musical end of tlie play is in the capable hands of Charlie Reilly, Maude Beatty, Mattie Townsend, Al West, Clarence Wur- dig and Eva Heazlite. At Idora, Manager York is offering his best card of the season in Ferris Hartman and Mindel King.ston in A Broken Idol, a tuneful musical comedy. Miss Kingston makes an immense hit, her songs being the ocasion of encore after encore. Others who create favorable impressions are George Eb- ner, Lawrence I'owes, Fay Boston, Harry Pollard, Grace DuVal and h'red Snook. The entire play runs with great smoothness and much credit is due the capable and efficient musical director, John Raynes. Great interest is being taken in the auto polo and auto races to be held at Emery- ville Park, 14-15. LOUIS SCHEELINE. SAN BERNARDINO, Tune 10.— At the Opera House (Mrs. M. L. Kip- linger, mgr.) vaudeville and moving ])ictures have been discontinued, and on Saturday night, 14th, the house will be opened with the Frank Cooley Stock Company for an indefinite engagement, ])robably continuing through the fall. The opening play will be The Third Degree; the com- l)any is a strong one, including Frank Cooley and Gladys Kingsbury, and good business is anticipated as Mr. Cooley was a great favorite here a few years ago, in the days of the "traveling stock." Vaudeville attrac- tions at the Auditorium this week are The .'\lpine Entertainers; Jack Burch- land, contortionist; McGee and Ker- ry, sketch, with the u.sual licensed reels. The Unique is again open, running musical .stock at popular prices, under the management of l*"rank Morton, to fair business. The Tcm])le, moving i)ictures, reports good business. The next road attrac- tion at the Opera House will be Eva Tanguay and her company on Jujie 30th. J. E. RICH.

Ilackett and in New York played the lead with Henry Miller. She has some idea of appear- ing at the head of her own company in a .series of new plays she has se- cured the control of. Miss McCord is not only a fine intellectual actor, l)Ut one of the most beautiful women of our stage and the Dramatic Re- view would be delighted at the suc- cessful outcome of her planning.
