A THEaPiC TREAT.
Marie Wainwright Delights a
Large Audience at the Grand.
Marfo Wainwright with her dazzling
diamonds beautiful smile pearly tooth
and magnificent costumes sot in a pic-
turesque frame of new and beautiful
scenery mostly copies from the masters
was the tr4at afforded at the Grand
Opera house to a crowded audience last
night. Added to this her play Shak-
speare’s “Twelfth Night.” of rollicking
comedy sparkling wit tender sentiment
and heroic feudalism and who can say
she is not a success? Iler company is of
the very best and hard to beat. Her
portrayal of the part of “Viola” was
splendid and her double “Sebastian”
by Edward Elsner was made to speak
look and act very like her. When the
lights were down it was hard to distin-
guish one from the other. “Olivia” the
melancholy Venetian maiden was
well taken by Miss Blanche
Walsh who is a beautiful woman and a
finished actress. The merry domestic.
"Marla” Louise Muldener.kept the audi-
ence on the qui vivo and grew popular
from her first appearance. E. Y. Backus
as jester was quite correct and Bar-
ton Hill. as “Malvolio” the asinine stew-
ard. could not be improved upon. The
chief of the entire cast were Messrs. Wm.
F. Owen as “Sir Tobey” and Percy.
Brook as "Sir Andrew.” For the proper
depiction of the loystering old fellows of
“ye olden tyme’ t icy certainly can take
the bakery and as comedians of the
b< st school they are on top.
"Twelfth Night’’ is being repeated at
matinee and tonight the “Honeymoon’
will be the bill. Tomorrow night Louis
James as "Othello.” Monday night "In
gomar.”
ACROSS THE CREEK.
A Drunken Mexican How and the
Handy Knife.
At Villaneuva’s saloon last night near
nine o’clock Officer Heitgen had occasion
to rush into the bar and arrest one Le-
andro Encendrio a tough Mexican who
seriously disfigured the dark physiognomy
of a fellow Mexican named Maurica Alla-
t >rio with a case knife. The two men a
little too full to be sober got into a
mutual quarrel which resulted In the one
severely cutting lite other about the face
vzith a case knife. The wounded man
was taken to Cohen’s drug store where
his wounds wore dressed and Encendrio
th) slasher was locked up in the bat
cave charged with assault with intent to
kill.
A Close Shave.
A slight altercation at the Two Broth-
er’s saloon at 11 o’clock last night which
came near proving very serious was the
cause for the arrest of Alex Campbell an
employe of Carter & Mullaly’s and Rich-
ard Zimmer a waiter in the saloon. The
waiter wanted Campbell who was said to
be slightly under the influence of liquor
to remove his feet from 'he table but the
wish instead of being granted brought
forth a long string of cuss words at which
Zimmer slapped Campbell. The latter
sprang to his feet and made a vicious
slash at the German waiter with his
pocketknife narrowly escaping ripping
him open. Officer Bowen grabbed Camp-
bell and marched him and Zimmer to the
bat cave where they were released on
bond.
