The Valencia Theater, at 235 Valencia Street in the Mission, had opened a year earlier, on September 8, 1908, with plays by its own stock company. The ad ran on Sunday, September 26, 1909, so last Thursday was September 23. H. R. does not say what the news was. In 1903 the Call had carried a search for the man who borrowed a woman’s opera glasses at the Columbia, and in 1912 it carried a search for the lady in the second box at the Tivoli.

Transcribed from the page image and checked against the original; spelling and punctuation are as printed, and words broken across lines are rejoined. Capital letters are also as printed: papers set the first line of each ad in capitals, so the capitals stop wherever that line ended, sometimes in the middle of a word.
