20 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 31, 1895. Following “The GirlI Left Behind Me” at the California Theater comes Peter F. Dailey in “A | Country Sport.” Mag Irwin is still with Peter F. Dailey, as are also John Sparks and other of the best mem- Ders of last season’s cast Overheard at Morosco's: “Theysay that E.J.

However, Miss Burroughs exacting p has beauty and talent in her favor, and | she is of a large audience, which is always inspiring to an actor or actress. It Temains to be seen whether she can put the touch of genius into her interpretation of the lov reality, and not a mere declamatory tragedy queen. Morbid lovers of th have liked to see Louis and no doub tury adverti glorious suce ensational would fassen as Romeo, 1 piece of end-of-the-cen’ it would to have had him there, but Louis Massen. [From his latest photograph taken by the Elite Gallery.] it has been decided that the husband, whose shackles Miss Burroughs is trying to shake off, shall not mar the romance of the Verona love story with his presence. John E. Kellerd is to appear as Romeo. Previous to leaving for the East; Miss Burroughs and her company will Blny twice at the Macdonough Theater, Oak- land, on Wednesday, April 3. “The Profligate” wil! be given atthe matinee, and ‘“Judah” at night. 7 With the exception of Miss Burroughs’ one impersonation of the unhappy daugh- ter of Capulets, the Baldwin Theater “He | her manuseript to the | “Of course | le 0f commerce, or raised from s hardly pointstoa | Touch | k Ttalian girl, which alone | can make Juliet scem a living, breathing | have been a | will remain_closed for four weeks, the en- | tire personnel of the theater, including | | the orchestra, going over to the California. | Itis to be regretted that the California | orchestra has to be disbanded, as it has | shows that the Orpheum management is putting forward extra effort to” amuse its patrons. ‘The | enthusiasm by a_remarkably clever situa- e =Gl e REr = il s = N AT THE CALIFORNIA. @irl I Left Behind Me" Next. “The Girl I Left Behind Me,”” which is | now making its second tour of the Pacific Coast, opens at the California Theater to- morrow night. It has been a good deal improved since its last appearance here and will be presented by a stronger com- pany. | The third act is the great feature of the play, and the audience is held in breath- less suspense and then aroused to great Comes ation. The stockade at Fort_ Kennion is surrounded_by savages who will not listen to terms of surrender. The daughter of the commanding general beseeches her | | | | SCENE FROM “THE GIRL I LE DUCED THIS WEEK AT THE CALIFORNIA. FT BEHIND ME” TO BE PRO-| done .good work lately under its young | conductor. The Baldwin being closed, the | yublic has to decide between “The Girl I | Emft Behind Me,”” which_has been here be- ; fore, local stock companies and variety. “ PINAFORE' AT THE TIVOLL Sullivan's Nautical Opera Will Be Succeeded by the “Bohemian Girl.” * The perennial “Pinafore’” seems to have proved more attractive to the Tivolis | patrons than Gilbert and Sullivan’s new have been doing elsewhere. All the ar airs have been nightly applanded, and Sir Joseph Porter and his colleagues have been welcomed by the audience like dear old friends. The composers of “Pinafote’ never speak as they p: by now, but the continued | popularity of their threadbare, old opera ought to make them bu; chet and say “United we stand, divided we fall.” | ""Ban Francisco has ot had the privileg | of judeing their latest works, but in Lon- don Gilbert’s libretto, “His Excellency,” | has not_proved a success, and Sullivan’s | opera, ““The Chieftain,’” has just been with- drawn because it was not paying. The management of the Tivoli has de- cided to continue *‘Pinafore” for another week, and the last revival of the season | will be another perennial opera, Balfe's “Bohemian Girl.”” The young lady who has dreamt for more than a generation that she dwelt in marble halls will be suc- ceeded on the Tivoli stage by Wilson and Hirschbach's new burlesque “Littie Rob- inson Crusoe.” It is said to be breezy | to date and full of life. The extravaganza | contains a number of new songs and is full | |- of local hits. It has eight scenes, and the | | staging is to be made one of the features of | | the play. BURLESQUE AT THE ALCAZAR. | An Up to Date Performance With Eleotric | Effect, | At the Alcazar Theater to-morrow “The Two Orphans,” which has been running smoothly all week, will be replaced by “Electrica,” an up to date burlesque. Fifty people will be inclnded in the cast, which is headed by Miss Florence Thropp and Dave Kelly. Manager R. H. Hazel has had extensive preparations made for the production of “Electrica,”’ which in- | clude some beautiful electrical effects, as | well as handsome costumes and georgeous scenery. There will be a full chorus and orchestra, and a number of ballets will be danced by clever periormers. The en- semble is said to meet the exacting require- ments of an up to date burlesque. There will be no advance in the prices of admis- sion, and the usual Saturday matinee will be given. THE ORPHEUM BILL. A Number of New BSpecialties From the East. As usnal the Orpheum drew well all last week. Of the new people the Nawns and Mazuz and Abbaceo were the most popular. The former appeared in a clever Irish character sketch act, where Billy Nawn excited much merriment by a clever exhi- bition of burlesque roller-skating. A number of talented people fresh from successes in the East are down on the bills for to-morrow evening. The Electric { quartet, the Dillon Bros.and the Martin- etti Bros. will introduce the principal new features. Messrs. Harding, Kerr, Chaliant and Kerr comprise the quartet, | and Eastern exchanges give them flatter- ing press notices. John and Harry Dillon have just concluded a lon, engagement with Field’s Drawing Cards, of which company they were leading members. Their parody and comedy work is said to be catchy and entertaining. The Martin- etti Bros. come heralded as acrobatic B e bersiot b e members of e present com| who are retained, are fohn A. Colepnil;i, the Nawns, Masuz and Abbacco, Lind an Vani and Kalkasa. As the latter will all father to place her beyond the reach of | barbarous revenge, and he stands beside | her, revolver in hand, ready to shoot her rather than to permit her to fall into the | hands of the Indians, where a fate worse than death would await her. The sacrifice James E. Wilson. [From a photograph.] is about ¢o be carried ont, when the hero- | ine, like the Scotch heroine in Bouci- | cault’s old melodrama, hears the music of the bugles which herald the advancing de- liverers. The rescue scene in “The Girl I Left Be- | hind Me” has been attributed to various sources by people who are always trying to explain such things, and old plays ?ikc “Jessie Brown’ have been mentioned in | this connection, but the guessers have all been wrong. The suggestion, it is now Lottie Alter. [From a photograph.] gl:en out by the authors of the play, came m Mrs. Custer’s life on the plains and appear in new acts, the programme for the present week prom'ius to hge on a par with 1ts predecessors. The number of new people introduced & from stories told by Ralph Meeker about the massacre of his family by the Utes. In Mrs. Custer’s book she relates that all the while she accompanied her husband in his Indian campaigns both she and he were l “Cad, the Tomboy,” fully alive to the awful fate that awaited a woman who fell into the hands of the red savages.. They often discussed the subject, she said, and ‘there was a compact between them that should it appear at any time that the Custer band was at the mercy of the Indians and escape hopeless the gen- eral would shoot her rather than permit her to fall into their hands. Although plenty of horrors are sug- gested, there is no carnage on the stage in H'The Girl T Left Behind Me,” and the plot is enlivened by several pretty love scenes. The cast of characters includes: Levina Shannon, Gertrude Berkely, Lottie Alter, James E. Wilson, Maclyn Arbuckle, Thomas Oberly, Myron Calice, Byron Douglas, etc. 5 “HANDS AGROSS THE SEA." Its Coming Production at Morosco's Opera- House, “Hoodman Blind” attracted the custom- ary large audiences at Morosco’s Grand and to-night’s per- formance will conclude the run of that popular comedy drama. The receipts show that between 40,000 and 50,000 of the amusement-goers of this city have visited Stockwell’s this season to see this favorite drama from Mr. Grover’s pen. These will be the last performances given by Leonard Grover, and they will end what has proven to be a successful term. . It is stated by the management that dur- ing the season there have been more than thirty occasions on which the numbers turned away would have filled over again the seating capacity of the theater. On Wednesday “evening Edouard Re- menyi, .the famous Hungarian violinist will give a concert at the Stockwell Thes ter, supported by his own company. The prices for reserved seats will be 25, 50 and 75 cents. SUFFERERS FROM THE EARTHQUAKE. The Italian Colony Will Give a Benefit to Aid Them, This evening a grand benefit perform- ance will be given at the Baldwin Theater by the Italian colony of San Francisco to aid the destitute sufferers from the recent earthquakes in Italy. The programme consists of a fantasia for the flute, played by Professor A. Lom- bardo; vocal solo, “Le Parlate d’Amore,” Miss A. Richey; air from the “‘Gioconda,” sung by Signor L. Giorgi; romance from “Tannhauser,” Herr Franz; grand duet from *I Puritani,”” G. Panizza and G.

He has made himself a reputa- tion for his interpretation of roles like that of Jack Yeulett, and his manly bearing and good elocutionary ability are as much in evidence as ever. To-morrow evening “Hands Across the Sea,” the strongest melodrama‘ever writ- ten by the English author, Pettit, wiil be staged in an exceptional fashion. Consid- erable scenic opportunities are offered, the action taking place in Australia, Paris, Lonaon and on the deck of an ocean liner. Levick will play John Dudley, a part that he has already achieved succéss in, Maud | Edna Hall, who, by the way, has been en- gaged by Morosco as leading lady for a vear, will be Lillian Melford, and Leslie Morosco will make his appearance in the comedy part of Tom Bassett.

When the Baldwin Theater reopens, after four weeks’ inactivity, it will be with the New York production of Haddon Chambers’ and B. C. Stephenson’s success- ful melodrama, “The Fatal Card,” direct from its successful run at Palmer’s Thea- ter. The play has made a greater hit than any drama of its type that has been pro- duced for some years. It contains strong dramatic situations and also calls for some admirable scen Haddon Chambers' First Play. Haddon Chambers, one of the authors of ‘A Fatal Card,” has been coming forward successfully asa dramatist of late. Ten years ago he was a very young man, struggling hard to keep his head above water in the vortex of London literary life by writing occasional articles for the Saturday Re- view and doing odds and ends of literary work that his more fortunate friend, Wil- liam Tristram, gave him. Tristram seemed a great man to Chambers in those days. His articles were in demand, and he was already mapping out his play, “The Red Lamp,” which he knew would be accepted. Haddon Chambers sighed to write plays too, and he was not so sure of their accent- ance, and his literary work, which searcely made bread and butter, was chiefly placed through the interest of his friend Tristram. Mrs. Chambers, who was many, many years older than her husband, kept the household going by giving singing-lessons. She taught in a little room in Bayswater, furnished principally with a piano and Japanese fans. The fans, which were stuck up everywhere, hid the nakedness of the land, but Mrs. Chambers said they were the only things thatdid not take away resonance of the apartment for singing She was a big woman with a eavy voice and taught the guttural pro- daction, which made the tones of her pupils sound as if they emanated from a cave or a cellar, but beautiful Mrs. Tris- tram, who went on to the Gaiety stage afterward, took her up and kept Ler sup- plied with students. How Mrs. Chambers loved “‘her boy,” as the pupils cailed Haddon Chambers! If he had been inspired she could not have spoken with more tender reverence of his work, and she was willing to sit at the piano from dawn till sunset giving les- sons if only she could earn enough to give him leisure to write & play. Well, the “boy” set to work and wrote the He copied it out in_his best handwriting, for he could not afford a tfypewriter, and was just going to send it in fear and trembling to a manager when Hugh Conway’s “Slings and Arrows” came out. The “boy” happened to get a copy, and read it, and the next day when the pupils came they found Mrs. Chambers &lunged in the depths of dark despair. er hiopes were shattered, ruined, so she told a fayorite pupil, amid tears and sobs, for Hugh Conway, the popular novelist, and Haddon Chambers, the obscure play- wright, had hit upon the same plot, detail for detail, and the great man was first in the field. “No manager would look at ‘our’ play now,” said Mrs. Chambers, Wwith the bit- terness of shattered hopes and privations undergone in vain, ‘They would call it a plagiarism. How well know, though, that it is original.”’ But the singing-teacher’s ‘‘boy” tram- pled on his hopes and rose up a stronger writer. He composed another play and another; but I never thought when I heard her tell about his aspirations, in her little room with the piano and the Jap- anese fans, that we should ever hear of Mrs. Chambers’ “‘boy’’ as a playwright in far- away San Francisco.

Another Burlesque to Be Produced at the Wigwam. The Wigwam management is so pleased with its success, in the line of burlesque, that it has secured another attraction ot the same kind for the present week in the Clayton Extravaganza Company. This troupe has been engaged to pro- duce the musical spectacle, *“The Sea Queen,” with its bright comedy and effec- uve specialties, enhanced by fine scenery and electric displays. Considerable ex- pense has been undertaken to make the production a memorable one, and the man- agement promises a good all-round enter- tainment. The Drama in Oakland.!
