. Nineteenth Annual Ov.eniuff.
This evening Manager D. H. Stew.
will inaugurate the oDeninar of th
nineteenth season at his popular play-
on which occasion tne Clonlnn-
Ideals will begin an engagement of
nights, offering as an attraction
celebrated four-act melodrama en-
'The Counterfeiters."
The company U headed by the vet-
comedian' and character artist.
Harry W. Blanchard, and Is supported
by a carefully selected aggregation of
artists, all Portland and San Fran-
Cisco favorites. The story of "The
Counterfeiters" Is one of highly ah
sorblng Interest, sensational, with
plenty of comedy to relieve the pathos.
The play has been acknowledged by
press and public as one of the best
now offered to the amusement lovlne
clientele. Refined specialties will h
given between, the acts.
On Tuesday evening the comedy of
"Our Boys" will be given, and on
Wednesday the engagement will con
clude with the beautiful four-act do
mestic drama, "A Father's Curse."
Popular prices will prevail.
Voices Worth Hearing. ' :
In the minds of artists, music-lovers
and society people thero In n c
anticipation that will only be gratified
when the four big guns of the Conried
Metropolitan Opera company actually
appear here, and make good the prom
ise of the finest vocal concert ever
hoard In this city. It is certainly a re
markable offering, and there Is am
ple reason to believe, that every ex
pectation will be fully realized.
Of the fame of the singers there can
be no question. Madame Rappold hnj
been ; blazoned In the public press as
a star of extraordinary brllllanecy u
soprano who has turned tho heads of
critics and common people alike,
w herever she has appeared in opera
a prima donna who has no superior on
the pperatlc stage. In like manner
has the singing of Madame Jacoby,
the peerless contralto, been exploited
by the most eminent critics, while Rlc
cardo Mai-tin and the great Cnmpan
arl are so well known that their names
are almost household words in all
musical circles,
To hear four such voices In a pro
gram of concerted numbers Is a temp
tation not easily resisted by those who
appreciate good vocal music and it h
fair to assume that the distinguished
Kipgoi-s will be greeted by a large and
cultured audience.
A Brand New 1'IIm.
The, Scenic theater announces a film
which right off the market for to
night, that is classed by 'the makers
as extraordinary. The title of the
piece Is "Breaking Into Society," und
the way the film tells the story Is In
teresting In the extreme. The film li
very late, and Manager Gardlnler
looks for highly satisfied patron
when they see it. It is realistic and
modern. Another film which goes 011
tonight Is ono that starta shudders.
In reality It Is out of the ordinary. It
pictures the steullng of a child by an
engle nnd tho monster bird Is clearly
seen to swoon down on the llttlu tot.
The rescue Is thrilling.
A Peculiar Coincidence.
A lady throws a dog out of a en;
window nnd slinutancously an Irish
man disposed of a pipe through an
'itlier window In the some train.
Both are tired of their "pets," and be.
Ilcvc the system adopted was the most
I'fcctu.-il in existence. Imagine their
surprise at finding tlie dog serenely
holding the pipe In his mouth when
the train reaches the next stop. Such
Is the story in brief of one of the fun
ny. things at the Sherwood Electric,
commencing tonight. "The Klnd
hcartcd Policeman" Is the title of an
other touching story. All the films at
the Sherwood have simple titles, but
the pictures ure excellent. "The
Painless Revenge," Is the banner film.
Sliakcs)(urciin Play.
