Last week he appeared in St. Louis, and on Thursday evening he was loudly encored when the curtain fell on a death scene. He failed to respond, and the audience became bois- terous. The getor then walked before the | curtain, red with anger, and said: “If | you insist on raising the dead you must [ not grumble at the remarks of the corpse. The size of this audience, which is not up to that of a one-night Texas stand, argues that I am not appreciated in St. Louis. I am not a hypocrite, and will say bluntly that I return the want of appreciation with interest.” Mr. Mansfield then bowed himself off the stage in time to escape the storm of indignation which followed when the audience recovered from its astonishment. A MERRY NEW OPERA. was handled in the painstaking and care- ful manner which characterizes everything | done at the Grand. | For to-morrow night a distinct novel: is promised in the shape of the comedy drama written by Assemblyman Judson C. Brusie and entitled *“The Estate of Hanni- bal Howe.”” It was produced a short time ago in Sacramento, where it did a large ’s business, those who saw it having | v but words of praise to offer. | ry is a _homelike one, something | ‘The Old Homestead,” but tion takes place in_Califorr The part of Amos Howe, which was written pecially for Frank W.

Reginald de Koven is generally consid- ered the most ambitious of American com- posers, as well as the most successful. | Ever since he wrote “Robin Hood” his work has been eagerly sought for by American managers, for Mr. de Koven is possessed of the rare ability of being able to-compose tunes that interest the public at large. It is not often that San Fran- cisco has a chance to hear one of his works, but to-morrow night the spell will be broken, and the Whitney Opera Com- ! pany will present at the Baldwin Theater AT THE BALDWIN AND MISS DONNA. = THE FINALE OF THE SECOND ACT OF “THE FENCING MASTER” DOROTHY MORTON, THE PRIMA life.

Forrest Sea- bury is painting new nd the pic- ture of the old farm house, it is promised, far different-from the s of the character. Mr. Bacon, ys the leading role, is one of the best character actors in California. He hés been associated with the stage for a number of years and has made a good reputation by h ful work. AT THE TIVOLL “Nanon,” With a Strong Oast, Will Be Re- vived for the Coming Week. Genee’s popular opera, non,” will be the attraction at the Tivoli Opera-house week, commencing to-morrow night. The cast for the present production is nearly the same as the last seen at the Tivoli, with the exception of two charac- ters, d’Aubigne and the abbe, which parts will be played by John Raffael and George Olmi. Miss Tillie Salinger has recovered from her lateillness and will sing the music of Ninon. She has been absent for several months from the Tivoli stage. Ferris Hartman and Phil Branson are ex- cellently cast as De Marsillac and Hector, both making splendid impressions in these characters in the last production. The other parts are in competent hands and “Nanon” will no doubt {;e as big a success s Gracie Plaisted plays the title ul role, After “Nanon” comes Gilbert and Sulli- | “H. M. S. Pinafore.” *Princess Nicotine, ' by William Furst, will be given in a few weeks. ‘‘Little Robinson Crusoe,” which will be the Tivoli's next spectacular production, is being prepared for a hearing John P. Wilson is the author of the book and Joseph Hirsch- bach is arranging and writing the music. NEW SPECIALTY PEOPLE. The Orpheum Will lntroduce Ten New Per- formers To-Morrow. To-morrow night the Orpheum will in- troduce ten new people. Some of them have come all the way from Paris and the others from the East. The new bill prom- ises to be one of merit, as all the per- formers have good records. Bruet and Riviere, John A. Coleman, the three Mar- tinetti Bros., Howard and Williams, and Brown and Harrison are the new people. Bruet and Riviere are French vocal duettists who, it is said, have a remark- able vocal imitative faculty. They are able to reproduce the sounds of various instru- ments, such as the bagpipes, violin, con- certina, xylophone, saxophone and others; John A. Coleman is a clever character and dancing comedian; the Martinettis are a trio of wonderful acrobats; Howard and ‘Williams are specialty comedians and Brown and Harrison are comedy sketch artists. This new influx of talent should make the Orpheum an attractive amusement place during the week. La Regaloncita and sisters, the brothers Forrest, Les Quatre Diezs and Magee and Crimmens will continue at this house. Man- ager Walter hasanumber of interesting specialty people booked for the future. ORATOR MANSFIELD. The Actor Hurls Sarcasm at Eastern Audiences. Richard Mansfield is certainly not add- ing to his reputation by his little speeches before the curtain this season, which have been altogether too frequent and too sar- castic. During his recent appearance in Philadelphia, in response to a prolonged applause for his performance as Baron Chevrial in *“The Parisian Romande,” he appeared before the curtain and made a | § long, unconnected and uncalled-for at- tack on the persons in his audience who dared give way to the enthusiasm his act- a business way as well as artistically, It ing created by callinE him before the cur- tain, Since then he has repeated a similar “The Fencing-master,” which is said to be one of the most ambitious of Mr. de Koven’s works. Unlike the majority of latter-day comic operas, which run to horse-play and farce-comedy, “The Fene- ing - master” is built on a well-defined story. The burning, bubbling love lavished on a woman by a duke, who really intends | bis affections” for another woman who | goes around disguised as a _man, is the i pivotal situation that turns the argument of the opera. Mr. Smith, the librettist, has done some good work, and his lines are said to possess ilhe flayor of originality and brightness, { while Mr. de Koven’s music_is vivacious | and pretty. Miss Dorothy Morton, the | prima donna of the company, has made a | marked success in the leading role. Those | who remember her when she was the | soubrette of the “‘Later On'’ company, re- | member a sweet, winsome little woman with black eyes and hair, a charming figure, and possessed with a desire to sing | and dance and to do both with a goodly | amount of chic. But that was when Miss | Morton was a soubrette; to-day she isa ifireat prima donna, and has successfully | held the part which was made prominent | by Miss Marie Tempest, one of the stars of | the Eastern stage. The remainder of the | company is made up of people who have | always held good positions on the operatic | stage. Bertha Bayliss, Marion Langdon, | Florence Alva, ouise Bryant, Luc | Mitchell, David Torrence, Oscar Girard, A. M. Holbrook, William Stephens and H. Arthur Lieblee are capable singers and actors. They have all been successful in their respective roles. Signor Tomas who was director for the late Emma Ab- bott, will lead the orchestra. 3 The oRem is in three acts. The first is laid in Milan, showing the grand cathe- dral in the background; the second in Venice, glvingnvxew of the grand canal with a’ fleet of gondolas, and the illumi- nated state barge in which the Doge an- nually wedded Venice with the Adnatic; the third represents the palace of the Mar- chesa di Goldoni, near Venice. The action of the opera is supposed to take place in the first quarter of the fifteenth century. There is plenty of scope for scenic display, :vhitch has been utilized to the fullest ex- ent. THE FROTH OF SOOIETY. A Society Play by the Riggs Company at the Alcazar, > The Charles Riggs Company at the Al- cazar Theater has proved a capable and clever organization. “The Clemenceau Case,” in which the company -has ap- peared during the week, and which will close to-night, has drawn very strongly since its first presentation, and would doubtless continue to do well for a much longer season. Nevertheless it is to be withdrawn to-night to give place to “The Froth of Society,” a play which, because of the fact that it deals with certain dubious phases of life, has been very much dis- cussed. The new play will be presented in the same careful manner in which “The Clemencean Case” was produced, which is saying a good deal. There is no doubt that such plays as “The Froth of Society,’~while they do not exact thoughtful consideration, are very popular, just as most people will instinci- ively shun the glcomy for the brighter things in life. The Alcazar Theater cast will be made up as follows: Captain Randall Northcote, A. C. Henderson; Oliver St. Aubyn, W. Hodges; Mr. Cavendish Coyne, M. P., D. Alger; Earl of Colchester, Harry Gilbe: Mrs. Eastlake Chapel, Rose Stillman; Mrs. Ernestine Echo, Anne Leonard; Lady Downe, Miss Foley; Violet Esmond, Dora Drosden. OVER IN OAKLAND. Some of the Attractions to Be Seen at the Maodonough, Hoyt’s successful comedy, “A Temper- ance Town,” will be presented at the Mac- donough Theater,Oakland, for three nights, commencing to-morrow. The advance sale has been sufficient to assure a success- ful engagement. Oakland theater-goers will also have a chance to see*“The Fencing- master,” Marie Burroughs and “‘Our Flat,” which will also be presented at the Mac- donough. THE PLEASURES OF A FLAT. Emily Bancker Will Depict Them at the California Theater. One of those opportunities for laughter which bring men and women back to the simplicity of childhood and tone up the impaired and jaded fancy into the bub- bling enthusiasm of youth will be afforded at the California Theater fo-morrow night, when Mrs. Musgrave's comedy, “Our Flat,” will be produced by Miss Emily Bancker and her company of comedians. The success of this comedy has been re- markable and it holds one of the best records for long runs. It ran for 780 per- ST i ) e ) Miss Emily Bancker as She Will Ap- pear in “Our Flat” at the California. formances at the Strand Theater, London, England. It was also played for 100 nights at the Lyceum Theater, New York. It is a laugh-provoker from beginning to end. The situations are by no means strained, dealing as it does with a phase of life which appeals to thousands of people who live in flats and who have been compelled to start housekeeping in a modest way by recourse to the installment plan. The ex- ploiting of the trifles that go to make up the daily life of a man and & woman strug- gling with fate in the presence of the buteher, the baker, the shoemaker and the monthly instaliment due on the furniture, are the main features of the comedy. In- cidental to the development of the story there is a bit of romance that keeps the play within the lines of the drama and yet aids ially to its interest. ““Our Flat” arkling in dialogue, humor- ous in situations and rapid in action and proves to be a lesson to young housekeep- ers should the obdurate installment man scend upon the furniture. Miss Bancker, who plays Margery Svivester,is a charm: ing comedienne with a handsome face. She will be remembered for her splendid work last season E in_*‘Gloriana.” k’m My Incidental to the sing “Oh Honey, y hesides Miss Bancker the following well-known players: Tom _ Ricketts, George W. Parsons, Philip H. Ryley, Neil Scully, W. H. Wiliis, Walter Park, Miss Lee Jarvis, Marion Van Courtland, Vesta Day, Anita Verno. ANOTHER PLAY BY GROVER. A Melodrama New in This City Will Be Seen at Stockwell's, Manager Grover announces the closing weeks of a prosperous sedson at the Stock- well. To-morrow night Mr. Grover's domestic drama, ‘‘The Remarkable History of Lis- pet,” will be given. This play at the time of its production was said to rank with *“The Two Orphans” in interest and popularity. The storyis that of a sanctimonious and hypocritical person, who poisons his brotherin order to become possessed of his widow and his estates, which is a little like the argument in “Hamlet.” The sancti- monious hypocrite secures the kidnaping of his little niece and_her’adoption into a German family in New York City. The irl grows up in the belief that remem- Emm:es of her early life were a dream re- sulting from a fever. She becomes so thoroughly German that her mother and little brother fail to recognize her, and it is only through the agency of a blind aunt that she finally learns the real story s Bancker will .7 In the cast Scene from “The Remarkable History of Lispet ” at Stockwell’s Theater. of her life. Theups and downs of her life are continuous, Through them all she is aided and _assisted hy an heroic boot- black, who had rescued her from drowning and from the living tomb of a deserted mill, and aids herin theatrical aspirations. The story is said to be full of sympathetic situations and also with the mirth and comedy which have made Mr. Grover's plays famous. The Wigwam Bill. Burlesque is gradually bringing the Wig- wam back to its old-time popularity. A new and entertaining piece will be given to-morrow night. It is entitled “Me and Jack,” and is full of all the modern bur- lesque business of the day. Lester and Williams will have the principal roles. Miss Lizzie Daly and Miss r;linie Daly, the clever dancers, will figure among th: - cialties. : b pirl o 8ir Arthur's New Opera. The American rights to ‘“The Chief- tain,” the new comic opera, by Sir Arthur Sull'n:'an, libretto by F. C. Burnard, now" running at the Savoy, London, have been purchased by Francis Wilson, and the opera will be brought out at Abbey’s at New York, in September. “The Chieftain” is in two acts, the first being located in a mountain pass near Seville, Spain, among a band of rabbers, and the second before an inn in the village of Dehesas, on the River Sil. Mr. Wilson’s part is that of an En- glish tourist who is captured by the ban- dits, and compelled to accept the position of the chieftain. Oscar Wilde’s Latest. Oscar Wilde’s latest piece ‘‘The Impor- tance of Being Earnest” is having some success at the Adelphia, London, on ac- count of its comicalities. It isa prepos- teroas farce, studded all over with the in- verted proverbs and distorted platitudes which Mr. Wilde is wont to serve up as an aphorism and epigram. One young man confesses to his friend that, for purposes of convenience, he has invented a hypotheti- cal brother, whereupon the friend resolves to impersonate this imaginary relative, and does so with many laughugle circum- stances, FREE ACCESS T0 THE BOOKS. NEW PRIVILEGES TO BE GRANTED AT THE PUBLIC LI- BRARY. F1ve THOUSAND VOLUMES OF PERI- opicaLs OPEN TO THE PusLic. . . At the next meeting of the trustees of the Public Library a measure of much importance to those who make use of the books belonging to the city will be dis- cussed and probably accepted. Librarian Clark has for some time past been advo- cating the opening of a room devoted entirely to periodicals to be free of access to the public, and has succeeded in bring- ing a number of trustees to his way of thinking. 5 “I see no reason,” he said yesterday, “‘why the public should not be allowed to look over the bound periodicals, of which we have about 5000 volumes, at their leisure_and_without going through the formality of getting a ticket for each volume ‘they desire to see. Many people come herelooking foran article ina certain periodical, but do not know in what number it occurs. If they have to look through three or four volumes it t: considerable time, as well as giving the library attache who handles the tickets quite a little extra work. ““These books are not in_such great de- mand thata crowd would collect in the room and it would cause no trouble at all if the people were allowed free access.to the volumes. It is done in other libraries and I see no reason why we should not keep up with the times. “The Librarians’ Association, which meets on April 12, will discuss the advis- ability of libraries giving the public free access to the books on the shelves as well as to the periodicals and books of reference. This is done in Alameda and in Cleveland, Ohio, for example, and in many other libraries free access is given to all except works of fiction or other books which are in great demand. “In this library the manner in which the books are arranged would preclnde a general method of the kind for the present, but there are certain departments where the public might be allowed privileges to advantage. However, we will doubtless hear many feasible plans discussed and may take advantage of them in the future.” ————— Lobengula’s Death. A correspondent writing to a South Af- rican journal tells what he+says is the true story of the death of the great Matabele chief, Lobengula: ‘“Lobengula, suffering from smallpox, worn out by hislong flight, disappointed in his hopbe of peace and al- together broken down by the loss of his country, his power and possessions, came to a halt at last among the mountains north of the Shangani River. Here he begged his witch doctor to give him poison with which to end his life, but the man re- fused. The despairing chief wentup a hill to the foot of a crag which tops it, and sit- ting there he gazed foralongtimeatthe sun as it slowly sank toward tiie west. Then, descending, he again demanded poison of his doctor, and insisted till finally it was given to him. Once more ascending the slope, he seated himself against the krantz, took the poison, and gazed at the setting sun, stolidly awaiting the death which presently put an end to his sufferings and ?fls blood-stained life. Thereis something pathetic and grand in the picture. Itis the last scene of the great epic, the con- quest of Matabeleland. His followers found him seated there in death, and, pil- ing stones and rocks around him, they lefts him. Whether he was placed in his royal chair, flanked by guns and covered over with his blankets and other possessions, as described in ‘The Soutn Africa Review,’ I know not. All this may be true, and also that a strong palisade of tree trunks was planted round the spot, but I give the story as I heard it, and believe that, as it emanates from Mr. Dawson, it is the cor- rect one.”’—New York Tribune. UNTIL APRIL To Give All an Equal Opportunity, Dr. Ellis Will Continue the $25 Rate for a Radical Cure of Rup- ture. In announcing a rate of $25 for a radical cure of Rupture, Dr. C. Z. Ellis intended that it should be for a limited time only, and pro- posed withdrawing the rate on March 1. Since that date Dr. Ellis has had many inquiries from persons suffering from Rupture, who state that it was not possible for ‘them to take advantege of the low rate before its with- drawal and requesting an extension of the time. Dr. Ellis does not want to show any favoritism in extending the time, but to allow all an equal opportunity will continue the $25 rate until April 1. It must be distinctly under- stood, however, that it will positively be dis- continued on and after that date. $25 FOR A CURE. Names of patients cured will be fur- nished on application. C."Z. ELLIS.
