Ester Adaberto is well ! remembered here, she having left for • the Metropolitan grand opera house ! alter a successful season in this city : a few years ago. She will be heard ; tonight in "Aida." Vicarino made a ; deep , impression by the youthful beauty of her voice and, its extraordinary flexibility, and since charming local audiences has sung with great see- ; cess in the City of Mexico -with Bonci, the lyrical tenor. Lina Bertossl is the other prlma donna, and will require, no introduction to those of us who re member her lovely Mlmi In "La s Boheme." With such a trio of soprano j singers, the Lambardi forces would seem to be well equipped. The new musical director Iβ Arturo Bovl, and the tenor of the company is Kugenio Folco, who is credited with owning a furore making vole*. The large stage of the Valencia theater will lend Itself nicely to the! productions and the theater proper has heen renovated, a new heating , ap paratus ba« been Installed a/id every thing needful is said to have been done to rnak*» the playhouse a comfortable, commodjous home for opera lovers.

Schmolz of the Faris grand opera. •> - ' ■ # • SembricK s Farewell A big outpouring of song enthusiasts It promised the farewell recital of Madame Sembrich wten she appears tv.'s afternoon at the Columbia theater. The diva merits no less. Her < oncert tomorrow is likely to be historic, for the s'ngers plans for the future do not contemplate, any more extended tours. It is not likely that she will pass this way again. And that is a distinct loss to contemplate. In honor of the event Madame Sembaich has pre pared a program that leaves unexplored no corner in the realm of song. She •will sing tho folk songs of many lands, the classic compositions of Beethoven and the ancient but melodious Paradies «nd Handel. Bekubart, Schumann and Brahms, tho=e masters of song, will also be represented, and there -will be b sprinkling of modern music. La Forge will be, as usual, the superb accompanist. * * * Prima Donna Programs Mme.

'But the magnificent muse of Wagner pPVT worried even the earliest he holder. He niigbt Btun, but he didn't shock. • His critics were like untem pered pianos la'kins? the. overtones to vibrate His music was like the Niaraga falls or the grand canyon of the Colorado or Yellowstone park. It rnlsht take fune time to compass it with the senses, but that it -was worth traversing , was evident to the unprejudiced even fit the first glimppe. Can that be said of Strauss? However, T fear I am wandering. What I started out to say was that there will he 8 special centenary con cert given by the San Francisco sym phony orchestra, under the direction of Henry Hadley, this afternoon.

Manager Frank Healy states that seats will he placer] on sale today at the box office of the German House at 11 oVJock. Those having seats re served must take them up before 12 o'clock. At that time all uncalled for reservations will be "placed in the rack" and sold in the order of "first come, first served." The director.

Undefeated tiammerstem Ofi-ar Hammerstein. while nursing a scheme to make grand opera a national institution, with a permanent home in every city of consequence in the United State?, is not spending all of his ener gies in dreaming.

Th» Rupert Hughes' "?ullm«n carnival of fun" Inspires as much mirth as before. There is no contesting the judgment that Hughes" "Excuse Me" is the clev erest end funniest farce yet given to the American .stage. Henry W. Savage, following his usual custom, has sent cut a splendid com pany to interpret his production. Willis P. Bweatnam is the porter. "Excuse Me" would hardly be acceptable to playgoers unless the principal, though quiet, comedy role, of the negro were in the hands of Sweatnam. Sidney Greenstreet, another favorite, is riotously funny as the corpulent "little" Jimmy Wellington. Lalive BrowneTl lias her old part of the mis sionary maid and Rita Otway makes a stunning Mrs. Jimmy. The humorous possibilities of "Ex cuse Me" are fully developed by the cast at the Cort. Rupert Hughes has given to the farce a most unique set ting, but he has taken his characters from real life. "Naughty Marietta" is announced as the attraction to follow "Excuse Mβ" on Sunday night, February ". Alcazar "The Dawn of a Tomorrow." which Is to be produced at the Alcazar to morrow evening: for one week only, was one of »the big hits during the last season of Evelyn Vaughan and Bert Lytell in that theater, and its revival now is in response to popular request. It was dramatized from Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett's story of similar title. It is usually alluded to as I "the Christian Science play." London is the place and today the ! period.

When he is about to commit suicide a child of the slums. Glad, stays him by delivering a mes sage of cheerfulness. She wonders 1 why one of wealth and high social j station should desire to leave the world while she, poverty stricken, wants to live. Deciding to find the Inspiration for. her extraordinary op timism, he enters the life of the slums and sees a new vision In that seem ingly hopeless realm. "The Talk of New York." one of George M. Cohan's latest comedies, is booked to follow "The Dawn of a To morrow," with Evelyn Vaughan. Bert Lytell, the complete Alcazar company and a specially engaged chorus.

Berkeley, Thursday evening. January 30. NEWS OF ART AND ARTIST AN exhibition of drawings and painting* by Alfred Harms was opened on Thursday even ing at the California school of arts and crefte in Berkeley. The collection comprises 24 paintings in landecape and animal studies and a number of pencil drawings made from the animals in captivity at Golden Gate park. A number of the paintings were made by Mr. Harms before he left Germany. where he was twice awarded a scholarship by the Munich academy. His paintings show a number of things very clearly. It is proper to say that they show above all else a marked consciousness. (His drawing and composition are better than his color and technique.) They show that he is still young, that he has native talent and that this talent has been only partially developed. They show also that his development has been very uneven. His work shows plainly the effect of different influences at dif ferent periods. In other words, he has not yet found himself. * * * MR. HARMS has been in Californla for only a short time, and he seems to have been troubled by the strange conditions of atmosphere he has met here. Hβ has yet to learn the color of California. It seems likely that peculiarities to be observed in some of his canvases may be traced to quality of the colors he has used or to some chemical condition induced by medium or pigment. Some of his older and broader things are among his best, notably a large canvas of a cow. Hβ will accomplish his best results if he will accustom himself to the free handling of the larger brush. CHARLES JIOLLO PETERS has made arrangements to hold an exhibition at Detroit in March. He will show twenty-five canvases, most of which represent his recent work. It is to be regretted that these pictures are not to be exhibited here, but It is Peter's intention to paint a number of night pictures of San Francisco and to exhibit them before he leaves for the east. * # * MISS E. CHARLTON , FORTUNE has a recently finished portrait on exhibition at 550 Sutter street. She is working at present on a portrait of Eugen Neuhaus. Mr. Neuhaus is himself busy with a series at pn-intings of the Berkeley hill*. , , making their interest lie In the wonderful greenness with which they now are garmented. * * # The splendid preliminary portrait of Mommsen, the historian, by Franz yon Lembach. which is the property of Mrs. Henrietta Zcile of this city and which has been frequently exhibited, has been lent by the owner to the park museum. Efforts are being made to obtain the services of Frank Vincent Dumond, the well known New York artist and teacher, for a series of lectures on art during the summer session of the University of California. A little known local artist, Gustave Liljestrom, is showing a reserved piece of painting at the Mump galleries. It is called "Vishnu's Temple," and shows an unfamiliar view of the grand can yon.

Empress Fred Karoos London comedians top the program at the Empress Theater this afternoon in a funny fare* called "The Vow Wows." or "A Night in an English Secret Society." Charles Cha.P lin, the inimitable "souse." Is the lead ing player and is supported by a cast' of 15 capable comedians and charming Amy Minister. The farce affords Chap lin scope for hie portrayal of a "soused" candidate being initiated into the mysterica of tho secret order of "The Wow Wows." More fun is provided by a brilliant farce comedy, "I Died," written by Julius Simonson, who has placed the comedy in the hands of James Rennie, a wrll known legitimate actor, ably supported by Miss Reno f'haplow, Des mond Gallagher and T.

"The Yankee and the Swede" is the title of the act that will be of fered by Biele and Gerard. Other acts on the bill will be pro vided by Kelly and George knockabout comedians, and Wallace and Mxmroe. entertainers.
