F. Henley, Gustavus Levick, the Leading Man in ““Hoodman Blind ”* at Morosco’s. the Enelish poet, and Robert Louis Stevenson, whose death occurred some time since in Samon. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote alto- gether three plays for the stage; two of them were failures and the third has never been produced. Some time between now sand April 8 Beer- bohm Tree will finally make up his mind | whether to come to America for the whole of next season or remain in England. His confl- dence in the large success of an American tour is said to have been somewhat shaken last week in Chicago, where his artistic success was quite large, but the financial end of the engagement was not all that had been looked for. The date of Marie Burroughs’ first appear- 0 a classic role has been set for April 2. She will pre “Romeo and Juliet” on that date at the Baldwin Theater. An augmented company is being formed by the actress to assist her in the production, which promises to be an excellent one. Miss Burroughs will appear to great advantage in the character of Juliet, and her friends claim that she has a great future before her in Shakespearean roles. David Torrence, who has replaced Hubert Wilkie in the cast of “The Fencing Master,” has proved himself & worthy successor. He made his debut here some four years ago, when be played the leading juvenile part in Richard Mansfield’s “Parisian Romance.” This is his first year in comic opera, and, being one of the few operatic artists who can sing and act, his future looks very promising. His success in the part of Fortunio at the Baldwin has already been noticed. Some new “sturs” are making ready to shine next winter in new plays. May Irwin will venture in “The Widow Jane,” by John J. Mc McNally; Gladys Wallis in “Fanchon,” re- written; Andrew Mack in “Miles Aroon,” John Kernell in “The Alderman,” Edward Foy in “Little Robinson Crusoe,” Maggie Moore-Williamson in & piece which she will bring from Australia, Marie Carlisle in a work by Charles Bradley and Will R. Wilson, Robert Hilliard in “Lost in Twenty-four Hours” and William Lackaye in “Two of Him.” When “The Ensign” company appeared in Washington recently, among those in the audi- ence whose patriotic enthusiasm displayed it- self to an unusual degree over the scenes in the play wes an old gentleman named Thomas A. Jones. He was so impressed with Logan Paul's resemblance to the late ex-President Abraham ; — s et e e S 2 Lincoln that he asked a personal interview with the actor after the performance. During the interview, it was discovered that Jones was the man who helped J. Wilkes Booth to escape “ into Virginia after the assassination of Lincoln. He was offered $100,000 to make known the hidiug place of Booth, and refused. He died on March 4. “THE FENCING MASTER." With Dorothy Morton It Has Pleased the Baldwin Theater Audiences, Little Miss Dorothy Morton strode to the edge of the stage at the Baldwin Theater on Monday nightand stood silent and smil- ing. She took from her head the cap of the Venetians, and with a sweep of her arms bowed gratitude to as large an audience as | ever sat in the house to do homage toa new prima donna. It has been evident | during the week at the Baldwin that the people had gone there to worship the music of “The Fencing Master,”” and after the music the pri But it onl needed the cli ray or two of her fairy smile a of trills to put her first in the minds of the p...?»io. Miss Morton is one of the best comic opera sopranos that San Francisco has Dorothy Morton, the Clever Prima Donna at the Baldwin Theater. She hasa superabundance of stage he ability to dazzle the audience with them. She is pretty—pret- tier than Marie Tempest; .~hu’]nn a great deal like that staple commodity which carping critics compare with prima donnas to-day—Dresden china; she has a good | figure, she can sing and act, and she can | { impress the audience with the belief that | she imagines that she is the hero in reality and not an impersonator. Enough ha been said of Mr. de Koven's opera this week to support the assurance that itis just several degrees below Miss Morton’s capabilities. While it is tuneful, interest- ing and pretty there is not sufficient out- side the first act to give Miss Morton an even chance to show her worth As for Mr. de Koven's score, it has been raked over the coals of criticism just as much as he could have wished for. It has been digested, analyzed and boiled down | till there is nothingleft but the fringes of reminiscence. That is nothing new. All the new music of to-day is more or less reminiscent, and it is a rare genius who can compose something new, and Mr. de Koven’s claim to genius lies in his clever- ness to write a score that will please the ublic ear and the public fancy. That is his aim in composing a comic opera, and it is a wise one. If there is anairina comic opera to-day that does not resemble some kind of a tune from the ‘“‘crooning o’ the pipes on the Highland heather” to the themes of the departed Wagner it is something of a wonder, and probably it would not be worth heari Mr. de Koven's opera has been success- ful, and it pleases. It goes with a rush, and it is produced by a company of well- drilled people. While Harry Smith’s con- struction is faulty in places, and while his libretto is gemmed with jokes that were jokes in the limbos of the past, it is, never- theless, a good opera and a taKing one. Besides Miss Morton, there is Miss Ba iss, wiho has a well-trained contralto voice, which matches her dark eyes and hair and David Torrence, the Barytone of ‘“The Fencing Master’” Comic Opera Com- pany Now Flaying at the Baldwin. her quiet manner very well; David Tor- rence, who acts the part of Fortunio with all the gusto of a thwarted knight, and who sings his music admirably, and Wil- liam Stephens, who can send a soulful | tenor solo up to the casement of his lad: love just about as well as any one. 2 The *“Fencing Master’’ will be heard to- night and every night during the week. AT THE ORPHEUM. Seven New Specialty People Will Be Intro- ? duced This Week, The Orpheum has been crowded every night during the past week, and the new bill proved a strong drawing card. The features of the programme were John A. Coleman and Bruet and Riviere. The dancing, singing and inimitable walk of the former and the clever vocal imitations of the last named made them prime fayorites. . Manager Walter announces seven new of Miss Morton’s heels, a | nd a couple = Sy pooglc for this week’s programme. Some of the performers come direct from Paris, and the remainder from New York City | On the new list are Mazuz and Abacco, acrobatic comedians; Lind and Vani, an | character art | comic juggler. The new ‘\eople come highly recom- mended, and the management draws | speciai attention to the' programme as | being one of the strongest yet presented. | Indeed, the high standard ‘of the attrac- | tions at the Orpheum for the past year has {made it difficult to secure stronger features from the entire vaudeviile world s, and Kalkasa, a celebrated sented. SUOCESS OF '‘OUR FLAT.” | Emily Bancker Is Charming Large Audiences | at the California, | Miss Emily Bancker’s second week in “Our Flat” willcommence at the California Theater to-morrow night. The play has been well received in San Francisco, the farcical comedy seeming to have taken a strong hold on the popular fancy. Its fun is incessant from the rise to the fall of the curtain, and it is full of delightful bits of character acting. The artists producing it Philip Ryley, as the unsuccessful actor of the cast, and Tom Ricketts, both have | particularly good parts, and they play them artistically and thoroughly. The second act of the piece is exceptionally lively. It isone of the best written act: ever seen, and, when the amount of bu ness in it is taken into consideration, it is wonderfully constructed. On Monday evening, April 1, “The Girl I Left Behind Me,” which has during the past year been creating a decided sensa- | tion in New York and throughout the | East, is to be revived at the California. The production is said to be far more bril- liant than when it was last seen here, the company being stronger and the stage effects more extensive and elaborate. “The Girl I Left Behind Me'” is now more elab- orately presented than ever before. The popularity of the play is wonderful. The authors have gone neither to England nor the continent of Europe for their char- acters. They have found soldiers and girls, heroes and viilains at home to suit their purpose. To make the American twang all the more pronounced they have laid hands on Lo the Poor Indizn and eccentric comedy duo; the Nawns, Itish | than those which have already been pre- | have made any number of individual hits, | SCENES FROM THE AMERICAN DRAMA, BEHIND ME.” Willard Newell, Alice_Condon, Helen Henry, Julia Blane, Kitty Kerwin and Julia Torbes, 5 Next Tuesday evening will be the anni- ‘| versary “of the reopening of the Grand Opera-house by Manager Morosco. Many people shook their heads over his venture a year ago, but among the forty-nine pieces }n‘oduced since then not one has been a ailure in any theatrical way. Mr. Morosco will celebrate the event in his own quiet manner. SIR ARTHUR'S i PINAFORE." Will Be Revived at the Tivoli Opera-House To-Morrow Night. The Tivoli announces for next week a big production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Pinafore.” This opera was given last at this house about four years' ago, and on that occasion Tillie Salinger made her first operatic appearance in America. The present production will be headed by Miss Salinger, and will also witness the reappearance of an old-time Tivoli favorite, Arthur Messmer, who has been especially engaged for the part of Ralph ac raw. The piece will be handsomely staged, and the efficient cast should make the production a_good one. Ferris Hartman as Sir Joseph Porter and John Raffael as the captain should be very entertaining. Miss Fannie Liddiard of the Tivoli Opera Company. Gracie Plaisted will be the Little Buttercup and Phil Branson' the boatswain. After “*Pinafore” s W. W. Furst’s New York success, *‘Princess Nicotine,’ which wiil be given a perfect production at the Tivoli. The New York critics are unanimous in their praise of Mr. Furst’s mu “Little Robinson Crusoe,” the latest local burlesque, by Messrs. Wilson and Hirschbach, will follow. STOCKWELL'S LAST DAYS. @rover Will Close His Season With ““Cad the Tomboy” and a Benefit, Manager Grover has announced the last attraction which he will present at Stock- well’s Theater under his management, and when that is over Stockwell’s Theater will be rechristened and start out anew. Com- mencing with to-morrow evening Mr. Grover’s favorite comedy-drama, “Cad the Tomboy,” will be given every night except Friday. “Cad the Tomboy’” has been found to be the most popular with San Francisco audiences. At its last produc- tion nearly 2000 people were turned away. This week’s production ‘will be the most elaborate which the play has yet received. Leonard Grover Jr. will appear as Tom “THE GIRL I LEFT have made him the most notable novelty in the piece. The local color is even more strongly brought out in the scenery and stage effects. There are vast plains, the campfires of hostile Indians, their weird and terrible songs, the massacre of the threatened garrison, the swish of the bul- lets, and finally the sensational rescue. The whole story is worked out in the Blackfoot country, Montana, at an army post. It isinteresting all through. The principal members of the cast are: Ger- trude Berkely, Lottie Alter, James E. ‘Wilson, Maclyn Arbuckle, Thomas Oberly, Byron Douglas and Myron Calice. THE COLUMBIA. Preparations Being Made to Open the New Theater With Good People. Managers Friedlander and Gottlob are busily engaged in making the preparations for a thorough overhauling of Stockwell’s Theater, which wiil be named the Columbia when they assume charge of it. The electric wiring, the decorations, the stage, the oifices and the whole of the exterior and interior will be remodeled and reno- vated. Offers have been made to them by several attractions to open the house at once, but they have firmly decided not to o]l;en excepting with a first-class attraction. The opening week will be about the middle of April. MOROSC0'S NEXT ATTRACTION, “Hoodman Blind” Will Bring Back Gus Levick, an 01d Favorite, Judson Brusie's new play has thoroughly pleased the patrons of Morosco’s Grand Opera-house. It is one of the most suc- cessful of the Grand Opera-house produc- tions and it would run well for another ‘week, but in accordance with Mr. Morosco’s methods the usual change will be made to- morrow evening. The next attraction will be “Hoodman Blind,” Henry Jones and Wilson Barrett’s | famous melodrama. It will be ziven with every possible attention to dramatic and scenic effect and detail. Gustavus Levick, the well-known and popular romantic actor, will make his first appearance in this Yeulett. He has impersonated the same character hundreds of times, and next week will undoubtedly score his usual suc- cess. . Miss Maud Edna Hall, in the dual role of Nance Yeulett and Jess Lendon, will have the best opportunity afforded her since she has been in the stock company, and her admirers are confident that she will not fail to do_ herself full justice. Among other popular members of the company who are to figure in the cast mention may be made of Charles M. Swain, H. C. Brinker, E. J. Holden, Frank Wyiximn, J. H. W. Harris, W. L. Gleason, a) J. Harry Benrimo, George Hermance, city for four years in the part of Jack | Ward, the gasman, with a new budget of sketches and imitations. JLeonard Grover Sr., the author,will appear as Robert Cobb, the unscrupulous uncle. Miss Josephine Gassman, who gives promise of being one of the best soubrettes which San Francisco has introduced, will appear as Cad, and will sing several new songs. The spirit of realism will be brought out | strongly, as there will be a river of real | water and a multiplicity of steamboats and { steam launches in motion. | “Cad the Tomboy” has been seen on the | stage for more than twelve years. The | story is good and terse and full of dramatic interest; it is sympathetic and amusing and a great favorite with the public. | Friday, matinee and night, will be de- voted to a testimonial benefit to Manager Mazuz and Abacco at the Orpheum. Leonard Grover. He has succeeded dur- ing his half year's lease in making the theater extremely popular, and he has made hosts of friénds by his geniality and kindness in giving his patrons the plays they desired.” Through the kindness of his associate managers the companies at all the important theaters in the city haye volunteered their services. Fred C." Whit- ney, manager of the Fencing Master Opera Company, telegraphed from New York, s!ucmg 1s opera company at Mr, Grover’s isposal for the occasion. Mrs. Ernestine Kreling will offer the Tivoli Opera Com- any, Walter Morosco has granted the avor of the appearance of the members of his stock comé)any and William Gleeson has volunteered his services to act as stage manager. The orchestra of the Tivoli OKem-house has volunteered its services. The Alcazar Theater Company, under the direction of Charles Riggs, will also appear. At the Wigwam, The past week has been a most_success- 4ul one for burlesque at the Wigwam, “Me and Jack” as puton by Lester and Williams gave great satisfaction, and packed houses were the rale all through the week. Lizzie and Vinie Daly were the stars of the performance and their char- acter songs and dances were greatly ad- mired. ‘‘Me and Jack” will be continued for another week with the following new specialties added: The Novelty Four ina cfiaractcr change act; Leoni, neru'ahst;vghe Almonts, musical_artists, and Miss Villa Sayne, the vocalist, in new songs. ,',rh_e musical burletta, “The Sea Queen,” is announced for the week commencing April 1. The Macdonough Theater. The next attractions at the Macdonough Theater, Oakland, will be the Whitney Opera Company in “The Fencing Master.” It will be presented for two nifihts, com- mencing April 1, and will be followed Marie Burroughs on Wednesday, April 3, Then comes Emily Bancker for three nights, commencing Thursday, ‘Apnl 4. Miss Bancker will present ‘ ‘Our Flat.” YTHE FATAL CARD.” A Recent Frohman Success on Its Way to Open the Baldwin Theater. The summer season of the Baldwin The- ater will open on April 29, wher Charles Frohman’s latest and most prosperous venture, “The Fatal Card,” will be séen here for the first time. This play has been running in London for the past fifteen months, and for the past three months has enjoyed a most prosperous engagement at Palmer's Theater, New York. Mr. Froh- man, with his usual sagacity, has putin a cast that stands unrivaled. Such actors as J. H. Stoddard, Joe Holland, William H. Thompson and Ed Radcliffe play the lead- ing roles. The play deals with a gang of counterfeiters, who are planning to issue a | very fine note on a prominent bank. There | is dissension among the counterfeiters, and | the chief intends to blow them all up witn | a dynamite bomb. This explosion is | | | | | | to be the most realistic ever put upon a stage. The floor, walls and ceiling seem | to rise and fall into a mass of debris. The | company- carries two large carloads of | scenery and about forty people. There is | no doubt but what “The Fatal Card” will duplicate its New York success here. i NAT GOODWIN'S GAKRICK. How the Great Actor Has Gained Success in a Classical Role. An Eastern dramatic writer says: Last Friday night I went over to Brooklyn to see Nat C. Goodwin play David Garrick at the Park Theater. The house was packed and jammed in every part. There were 1o vacant seats, and on all three floors the spacé at the rear and sides was filled with people standing up. When Mr. Good. win came upon the scene he received what was very nearly an ovation, and at the end of the second act he was called four times before the curtain. There can be no two opinions regarding the degree of favor with which his interpretation of this role is viewed by the large and representative public which makes up his following. Nor is there, as far as I can see, any just | round upon which his impersonation of | ?)a\'id Garrick can be adversely criticized. It is a classic. In outline it is sharp and | well detined, and the coloring of ‘it is alto- gether harmonious. There are no rough edges to be filed down, and there are no | blank spots where the art of the actor has | been inadequate. It is a piece of work of | which any player who has lived within the | term of my memory might well be proud. | I have always held that Nat Goodwin was | the greatest actor I ever saw, and his Gar- rick only serves to plant that impression more firmly in my mind. 1 THE WORST YET. Mrs, Langtry's New Play Has Proved to Be a Dismal Failure, ‘When, at the end of the performance of | “Gossip” by Mrs. Langtry and her com- pany on Monday night, at Palmer’s Theater, New York, a few widely scattered enthusiasts (or humorists) applauded, the curtain went up, and Clyde Fitch, the author, came forward and expressed his thanks in the most ladylike way. Inthe midst of his speech, says Leander Rich- ardson (there was plenty of reason why he should have been thankful, inasmuch as there had been no demonstration against | his play), some person in the middle of the house said, in a solemn bass voice, “Louder!” The peoplein the theater, who had by this time recovered from their success, laughed heartily. There can be no doubt about “Gossip.” It is the worst. Not one of the worst, but | the worst. Mrs. Langtry in this piece plays the role ofa comedy friend of the tempted wife. The partis long enough, goodness knows, but it is not-interesting, nor isany- thing else in the whole concoction. The heroine, who is tempted to run away from her good husband by a former lover, and for whom the auditors are expected to have more or less sympathy,is a silly, frivolous, brainless creature, without justi- fication, and it is by no means too sweep- ing an assertion to add that none of the other characters are worthy of commenda- tion. Itis unfortunate for Mrs. Langtry that she should have expended so large an amount of money upon so inconse- quential a work. Burglars That Failed. An unsuccessful attempt to burglarize the | office of Game Commissioner Emeric was made | early yesterday morning. A few dollars in change was secured, but the attack on the safe failed. The burglars got in through the Jack- | son-street entrance and succeeded in springing | the latch of the private office by means of a. picce of wire. They had gathéred up & consid- erable quaniity of odds and ends which they intended moving, but were evidently irightened away. Death of a Week. The Health Office report shows that there | were 155 deaths in this city during the week ending at noon on Saturday. The main causes were: Consumption 25, pheumonia 21, bronchitis 5, cancer 7, heart disease 14, old age 6. During the corresponding week of last year the number of deaths was 123. HER LETTER TELLS A WOMAN'S STORY. " Written for Eyes of Other Women, [SPECIAL TO OUR LADY READERS.) There is inestimable pleasure in doing good to others, and joy in a grateful rec- ognition of the act. On the old York Road, Huntington Park, Philadelphia, dwells Miss M. Downs, whose portrait we give. She de- sires that her case may be stated as a means of bene- fiting others. She say: “ Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- ‘pound has cured me of Kidney trouble, pain- ful menstrua- tions, and head- aches. Itis truly a wonderful® medicine. I cannot describe my feelings before I took it. The pain in my back was dre.d%ci, and during menstruations the agony I suf- fered nearly drove me wild; and then my head would athe for a week, and now this is all over, thanks to your good remedy, I trust my testimonial will lead others to take it and be cured. They can find it at any drug store. Our drug- gist says the demand for it is very large, it is helping so many sickly women.” NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS. O’Farrell Street, bet. Stockton and Powell.
