NATIONAL (Sid Grauman, mgr.).—Fair bill tbis week. John Hlggln's World's Champion Jumper opened the program and was re- ceived fairly.

Shenk Family won liberal applause. The youngster is responsible in the main. Miss Tucker tore the house apart. Pictures had to be stopped to allow her to continue. The Morning Chronicle Is the only paper agitating the building of a Grand Opera Honae here. There Is hardly any chance of the plan being carried out for the public is apathetic on the subject. Every wealthy New Yorker or personage of any Importance in the theatrical world that visits us Is in- terviewed on the subject and after praising our climate, resources, etc., cordially endorses the opera house plan, to the joy of the news- Hotel Plymouth EUROPEAN PLAN 38th STREET, Bet7tfc ft 8th A**., NEW YORK CITY New Fireproof Building A Stone's Throw from Broadway "NOTICE THF DITF^" A room by tlis day. with om of hath, $1.00 IIUIIUC, Hit Mil CO an d iLaf ingle; $1.60 and $1.75 double.

Of late the advance agents for the sake of seeing their names in print, have been "plugging" the game. The latest to get in his work was Si Good friend, here in the Interests of the Russian Imperial Dancers, who called at one of the newspaper offices, had himself interviewed and assured the edi- tor he would give his enthusiastic support to the plan. The fact of the matter Is San Francisco does not require an opera house at the present time. What it does need is a large auditorium capable of being utilised for grand opera purposes, and also avail- able for political and other large gatherings. The Grand Opera Company from the Metro- politan Opera House, New York, will only give three or four weeks annually as in the days of Orau and Conried and the disposal of a million and a half in a building for the other forty-eight or nine weeks of the year would be a puzzle hard to solve to the satis- faction of the stockholders. Manager Tony Lubelski of the American Circuit of theatres and cafes has closed a year's booking agreement with the management of the Odeon Cafe of this city and expects to leave for the east within a few days to secure attractions. The weekly program will range from $850 to $1,200. Mr. Lubelski Is the originator of vaudeville and amusements In the cafes of this city, the Portola Cafe being the first to adopt the policy. Frank Hill, former treasurer of the Amer- ican, has been promoted to the berth of as- sistant manager. Eddie Boland steps Into Hill's position. Frank has been with the American ever since it opened four years ago. STEVENS' CAFE and RESTAURANT (One block from Dockstadter's) Rooms for theatrical people. Electric lights, Hot Baths, day or night Private dining room. 8 B. 7th SL, WILMINGTON, DEL. THQ8. L. 8TBVEN3, Prop. Popular Frank Barbee of Sutter ft Steiner St. fame is anticipating the early arrival of a "benzine wagon." Trotters have proven too slow for Frank of late. Manager Sam Harris is turning out some effective billing for the Wigwam. A twenty- one-sheet stand with word "Wigwam" full height In dark red and an olive green back ground is most striking. A line above in white reads "Where the big acts show." A three-sheet space at each end for the feature act of the week lines up a most classy piece of paper. Jeanette Dupre's damage suit against Kolb ft Dill, which has been pending for some time, comes up again 21, after which Miss Dupre will leave for Honolulu for an In- definite engagement. The hoodoo of Sutter St. (the Victory) still has its doors open and doing a good business with 5-cent vaudeville and pictures. "Pop" Grauman says he has a couple of more theatres in sight that he may purchase "er long." "Pop" won't say where they are- After the flattering and demonstrative re- ception given to them at each and every per- formance at the Orpheum during their two weeks' engagement, it was rather disappoint- ing to see the "Old Soldier Fiddlers" ped- dling post card photos of themselves after the show se souvenirs. The long war that has been waged by the Orpheum management in this city against a coterie of alleged ticket "scalpers" brought about the arrest 12 of "Billy" Rice, who con- ducts a thirst emporium above the Orpheum. Stage Manager Art Hickman and Sec. Mor- ris Oppenhelmer of the Chutes are doing society at Del Monte and Monterey this week as the guests of Frank Johnson, the aviator. Popular Billy Hanlon of Sacramento and Tom allien ("Finnegan's Friend") were in- separable companions last week during the latter's engagement at the American. Tom's third date in "Frisco" this season. Hanlon gave Tom a theatre party during the week and a big time after the show. Daniel J. Sullivan, in his pleasing Irish playlette "Captain Barry" has been meeting with pronounced success over the S.-C. Cir- cuit. Mr. Sullivan is at present considering accepting an offer for a starring tour through Australia. Harry Bloom has received several flattering offers to return to this city and will prob- ably cancel his time on the S.-C. Circuit, after Los Angeles.
