Now Provided for Theatrical Companies Including Honolulu.
San Francisco, Sept. 21.—Melville Marx, of the Columbia theater management, will be a passenger on the steamer Australia, which sails for Honolulu tomorrow. He goes to the islands in advance of the Frawley company, which will open Honolulu's new opera house the latter part of October. Behind Mr. Marx's trip is one of the biggest theatrical ventures that has been contemplated in some years. San Francisco has been heretofore called the "jumping off place," for eastern attractions which can only get away from New York in the summer months, when the theaters are closed, but now the Columbia management proposes to include in the western tour Honolulu and have entered into negotiations with Musgrave and Williamson of Sydney and Melbourne with a view of extending the bookings to Australia.
