The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, May 12, 1895, Page 22

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 12, 1895. Ysaye will be at the California this week. ¢Captein Swift,” Haddon Chambers’ ro- mantic drama, will be the attraction to follow | “Sweet Lavender’” at the Columbia Theater. A season of theatricals will be inaugurated at the Alcazar Theater this evening by the James Ward company. | Morosco’s Grand Opera-house returns to | sensational melodrama to-morrow evening. The Calitornia Theater will be closed for a week after to-night’s pe It is ten years since the next Tivoli operetta, «Hand and Heart,” was played in San Fran- cisco. Meyer Cohen, the California barytone, will sing at the Orpheum this week. A floating theater has been launched at Bos- | ton, which will be towed to Bar Harbor, Coney | Island and other places during the summer. | & “A Dog in the Manger” is the title selected by Charles H. Hoyt for the entertainment in which ‘his wife, Caroline Miskel, will be the central attraction next season. Joseffy, the pianist, hes had his plans much broken up by the burning of hishouseat Tarry- | | [ WILLK.FOX ORPAELM town and the loss of his musical treasures. Many of these were in manuscript and are not to be replaced. Albert Chevalier, the best known ot English music hall singers, and the writer of the famous “Coster” ballads, is trying to make ar- rangements to come to this country for & pro- tracted tour. Clara Morris, who has ‘been “resting” for some time, has not retired from the stage, as | has been repeatedly asserted. The footlights | have too many attractions for her, and the an- nouncement is now officially made that she will g0 on the road again. Reginald de Koven and Herry B. Smith have | selected “The Tzigene” as the title for their new opera, with which Lillian Russell is going | 10 endeavor to retrieve her shattered fortunes. The action takes place in Russis, and Lillian is 1o appear as a gypsy fortune-teller. The work will be produced at Abbey’s Theater next week. i - | Among the principal members of the com. | peny which will give German performances at the Baldwin Theater this year are: Arthur Eggeling, Mathien Pfeil, Max Haenseler, Max | Bire, Hermann Schnezler, Rudolf Senius, Julius Ascher, Frau Wilhelmina Schleuter, | Frauleio Anna Braga, Charlotte Dirand, Else | Dore, Lina Haenseler, Fraulein Hilna Schleu- ter, Josephine Nebauer. Cablegrams announce that “The Girl I Left | Behind Me” has made a great hit at the | Adelphi Theater, London. Some of the papers, | however, have severely criticized the lack of | knowledge of military discipline displayed by | the authors and have said that the only good scene—the Tescue scene—is a clumsy adapta- | tion of “The Siege of Lucknow.” An unexpectedly humorous scene happened | on the opening night of “The Girl I Left be- hind Me” in London. During the attack on the | fort, when the doctor sits down to write a fare- | well letter, and & presumption that there seems | no possible chance will ever be prescripted, | he has to say, “I will add a postscript.” But the doctor forgot his linesand said, “I will add | 8 post-card,” which made every one laugh just | when the situation was most thrilling. ! The chief events in the theatrical world | for the coming week will be the appear- | ance of Ysaye, the famous violinist, at the Baldwin Theater, and the opening of the | Colum bia Theater with the Frawley stock | company. So few of tbe great artists who make phenomenal successes in the East come as far as California in the first flush of their popularity, that the advent of Ysaye be- comes an event of unusual interest. If his reception is commensurate with his fame, his example will doubtless be followed by other great artists, and California ‘may have less reason to complain that the Paderewskis, Duses,0Olga Nethersoles, Beer- bohm Trees, and all the other stars that dawn in the East seem to regard a visit to the Pacific Coast as a thing not to be un- dertaken till the older States have been thoroughly exploited. The Columbia Theater opens under par- ticularly favorable auspices, as from a dra- matic standpoint the Hayman theaters are offering no competition this week. Stock companies have always been popular in San Francisco, and idessrs. ‘riedlander and Gottlob are putting (heir best foot for- A | th | Dick Fhenyl. a barrister. | ward to second the efforts of their new | by one of the ponderous weights. stock company. BALDWIN THEATER, | The Great Violinist Ysaye's Oomoert To- morrow Night. Fugene Ysaye, the celebrated Belgian violinist, makes his debut at the Baldwin Theater to-morrow evening. He will be ssisted by Amie Lachaume, the French pianist, and an orchestra of forty musicians under the direction of August Hinrichs, the conductor of the Baldwin orchestra. ) kill as a virtuoso will soon for itself, but for those who rank work, like any other commodity, at what it can be exchanged for in dollars, it may be stated that with the possible exception of Paderewski his re- ceipts are supposed to have been larger than se of any instrumentalist who has visited country. Socially Ysaye is to be lion- ized just as he has been in the East, no less 1 five different_receptions having al- v been arranged in his honor. The programme of his first concert is: Overture, “Euryanthe” (Weber). Concerto, No. 3, B minor, op.61 (Saint-Saens)—I. Allegro non_troppo; IL ndantino quasi allegretto; 1II. Molto moderato e maestoso; IV. Allegro non troppo—M. Ysaye and orchestra, *‘Corlcert kgl . Lachaume and orchestra. Coneerto (Mendelssohn)—I. Allegro molto ap- pasionata; 11. Andante; III.

Matro sen Choraus, “Der Fliegende Hollaender” {Wagner), orchestra. Ysaye will remain a week in the city, giving three more concerts, and will then 20 to Los Angeles, returning to New York in time to sail for Europe early in June. THE COLUMBIA THEATER. It Opens To-Morrow Night With ‘‘Bweet Lavender.” To-morrow evening the grand opening of | the Columbia Theater under the manage- ment of Messrs. Friedlander, Gottlob & Co. will take place. Preparations have been made to cause the event to be a notable one. The pretty house that w. well’s Theater has been redecorated and the foyer completely changed. New scenery has been painted, and though the ormerly known as Stock- | SSUBUUUUUTEINER IV The arrival of the fire-patrol wagon 1In time to prevent a murder will also be a scene dear to the hearts of lovers of the gensational. .

To-morrow evening the Tivoli manage- ment will produce Charles Lecocq’s ‘Hand and Heart.” This opera will be a novelty to many San Francisco theater-goers, as it is ten years since it was last given in this city. At that time it was played simultaneously | by the Abbott company at the Baldwin | and by the stock company at the Tivoli. One reason why the melodious work is not performed more frequently is that several of the roles are very exacting, particularly | the barytone one. i As Don Gaetan John J. Raffael will have a good opportunity of sustaining his opularity as a vocalist, for much of the Best music in the opera falls to him. he soprano role will be sustained by | Miss Salinger, while Messrs. Hartman, | Branson, Olmi and Messmer will have | am hle opportunities to display their sev- |eral talents. Special attention is being given to the choruses and to the details of | staging ‘“Heart and Hand.” | “AN UNDERTAKER'S SOOIAL. | The Reilly - Woods Farce Comedy at the | Orpheum. | The Reilly and Woods spectacular vau- | deville company, which has been playing | “Hades Up to Date” at the Orpheum, will | this week produce a comedy, entitled, = JENNE KENNARK _COL N, = : S~ 'SELMA GOERNER BALDWIV subject of the new drop scene is being re- served as a surprise the managers state that the subject is unusually artistic and is drawn from a well-known picture. The stock company engaged includes layers who are well known to the San francisco public. Daniel Frawley is the stage-manager. The opening drama, *‘Sweet Lavender,” is one of Pinero’s most popular plays, and it offers a good, all- Tound cast, which will give the vatious members of the company an opportunity of displaying theirtalent. - There is every indication that a brilliant audience will be present at the opening night. The following is the cast of “Sweet Lavender” : Mr. Geoffrey Wedderburn of Wedderburn, Green & Hooker, bankers, Manchester. i , studying for the Mr. T. Daniel Frawley hysician............ tr.

A Btampmill in Operation at the Grand Opera-House, Morosco’s opera-house will put on another scenic melodrama to-morrow evening in ‘‘The Fire Patrol.” The work, wipclz will be given for the first time in this city, is by James W. Harkins, author of “The Midnight Alarm” and “The ‘White Squadron.” AThe production will be under the direc- tion of Fred J. Butler, aud preparations are being made to produce the usual start- ling mechanical effects. One scene repre- sents the interior of a stampmill in Dead- wood, with all the machinery i i and Coulter Brinker ahou’t1 i@'flé‘e’fiffifi‘ifi Mr. F. P. Jain | “An Undertaker’s Social.” This play is said to afford opportunities for humorous specialties. Foremost among the new performers is ‘Will H. Fox, the pianist-comedian, whose caricature of Paderewski never fails to aroyse plenty of laughter. He accom- | panies his pianistic efforts with humorous | musical talks. Another popular favorite who wiil appear at the Orpheum this week is Meyer Cohen, the California barytone. Several of last week’s specialists remain on the bill in new acts and songs, and on the whole the programme promises to ex- ceed that of last week in popularity. THE CIRCUS ROYAL. A I Prominent Officials to Attend To-Morrow's Benefit Performance. Several new tableaux, designed by Stan- ton and Joullin, will be added to the Water Carnival at the Circus Royal this week. The spectacular displays designed by these artists have already been much admired, | and the new series are said to be quite as beautiful and artistic. A series of benefits will be tendered at the Circus Royal o Private P. F. Bauer of Battery E, who was severely injured dur- ing the late railroad strike. The first benefit will take place to-morrow evening, and everything points toward its being a brilliant affair. Governor Budd, General Dickinson, General Dimond and other prominent officials have signified their in- tion of being present, and it is expected ;’l'emt the military will attend in large num- TS. ALOAZAR THEATER. Ward Will Be Beem in Irish _ Drama, The James Ward Company begins a brief season at the Alcazar Theater this even- ing. This popular Irish comedian, who has been absent from the local stage for some time, will be supported by: Lorimer Johnstone, J. J. Hyland, John J. Pierson, James J. J. Sambrook, George Hernandez, Neil Florence, B. Bender, ffiss Josephine Gass- man, Miss May Powers. Miss Lillie Elliott, Miss Tillie Don, Miss Elma Ellis. 2 _The opening performance will be Bouci- cault’s Celtic drama, **Arrah Na_Pogue,” which affords Ward an opportunity of be- m%seen in one of his best characters, that of Shaun, the Post. On Thursday eyening Boucicault’s military spectacle, *‘Fin Mec- Cool,” will be given here for the first time. The scenes are laid in the South, just pre- vious to the breaking out of the war. The Liliputians. “Humpty Dumpty’ will be presented by the Liliputians at the Baldwin Theater on Monday, May 19. This extravaganza is said to give the little people abundant op- portunities for fun-making and for acting. As before, the Liliputians are supported by a company of exceptionally tall men and women, and in the third act they meet the giant Kaleb, who is 9 feet high. “Humpty Dumpty” tells the nursery rhyme with the aid of dwarfs, giants, me- chanical contrivances, an educated pig and trained ponies. Among the company are: Franz Ebert, Bertha Jaeger, Ludwig Mer- kel, Adolf Zink, Ida Mahr, Toni Miester, Elize Lau, Selma Goerner and Herman Ring. Macdonough Theater. “The American Girl” goes direct from the California to the Macdonough Theater, Oakland, where it will open on Tuesday Di%h(. he cast remains the same and it isex- pected that George Osbourne’s company will draw as well in Oakland as it has done in this City. A GREAT TRAGEDIENNE. Elenora Duse, Who Returns to America in November. Next November Elenora Duse is coming back to America, and it has been said that in all probability she will visit California, If this is true the San Francisco public will be given a chance to see the woman whom it is almost safe to call the greatest living tragedienne. The Italian actress owes her recognition to the scarcely less famous actor, Cesare Rossi. Rossi has generally shown himself to be the friend, the ‘‘papa’’ of the members of hiscom- panies. When he has bad an earnest, in- telligent young man or woman working for him, he has never spared himself one detail of the necessary instruction, and his help has been material as well as moral. In 1881 Elenora Duse was Rossi’s second woman; he saw her talent and wanted to make her famous, and_the following year she was promoted to leading lady in is company. What battles Rossi had to sustain for his protege! How slowly she conquered her audiences, tear by tear and individual by individual, and how much she cost in disappointment and advice and even loss at the box-office to her instruc- tor. But Rossi has never grudged trouble or money to bring fame to the young artist in whom he had faith, and Duse is only one among many who owe a large part of their success to him. Even to-day the great Elenora does not conquer her audiences the moment she steps on the stage. Last summer in Lon- don the critics received her coldly, but be- fore she had finished her season the gen- eral opinion was that the dark, quiet Ital- ian woman, who did not carry all her emotions on the surface, was greater than Sarah Bernhardt. In Italy they will tell you that some of the most "intense women are like the volcano of Etna, whose seeth- ing tumult is hidden by an exterior of Snow. Duse seems to be one of them. It is only now and then that her emotions lea) up like fire from the crater, and sweep al before them, but even in her calmest mo- ments the great tragedienne has the marvel- ous power of making her audience con- scious of the fire and passion within. The thing that she most avoids is effect. Duse has no elocutionary greatnes , knows not the Vincent Crummels stage stride, and she dresses simply, and generally in white. The art witg which she moves her audience, in fact, is so exquisite that it ceases to impress the audience as art, and becomes nature itself. OYOLING IN PARIS. The Man on the Wheel a Menace to Life. Cyecling is the rage in Paris, and Le Petit Buffon gives the following encyclopedic definition of the velocipedist or flying cyclist (volex communis et migrator): Like the maybug in our gardens, whose buzzing flight bruises the flowers in the beds, so the ‘““volex communis” flies along our streets, with alarming rapidity, sweep- ing over the careless pedestrians who are in the habit of reading newspapers as they walk along. Of all the animals of the Parisian fauna, the ‘‘volex” is the most prolitic. He is continually multiplying. The male of the species is of a grayish color, and is ordin- arily homely. “The female, on the con- trary, is very beautiful and graceful. She is easily domesticated. The number of the ‘“velocipedists” has so much augmented during the last few years that he has become a sort of menace to public safety. The Academy of Medi- cine is justly alarmed at the progress of cyclomania, a rotatory epidemic, studied for the first time in 1826 by the illustrious Esquiroul (not Esquirol). It is dangerous to find ourself on the path of a *‘volex communis,” this animal not, havgnfz the instinct of diverging from the straight line, which he follows imper- turbably. His haste to rush away as soon as he has crushed some one is too well known to need dwelling upon. . Sometimes the cyclist “migrator” travels in flocks, generally proceeding in single file, like the wild duck. The augurs of antiquity—at least so a_verse of Ovide seems to prove—used to draw good or bad omens, according to whether they per- %exved the “veloces” in even or odd num- ers. . The learned Lacaze Duthiers’ investiga- tions have led him to the belief that these animals have an average speed equal to that of the horse. He has even been able to observe an unusually large ‘‘volex,” who circled continually round one trail without taking any repose, and without absorbing the least nourishment. This has led him to the belief that the insect possesses some internal economy for stor- ingkuwayaxeserve force of food like the urkey. The cry of the “‘volex’ is terrible. On some occasions he augments its discordance by a noise which resembles the sound of a cowbellor the gong of a streetcar. ~—Translated from the French by M. E. L. TAKEN TO SACRAMENTO. Sheriff Johnson Has Harry Sandt, the Alleged Murderer, in His Charge. Sheriff I. T. Johnson of Sacramento came to this City vesterday to get Harry Sandt, alias “Shy Red,” who is suspected of having murdered F. H. L. Weber and his wife in Sacramento, December 29, 1894. Sandt was arrested Friday by Offi- cer McGraw, on notice received by Captain Lees from Sheriff Johnson that Sandt was wanted. When Sheriff Johnson arrived in town yesterday he went immediatel{lto the Chief of Police’s office and was then taken to the City Prison. He there iden- tified Sandt as the man who was wanted. In fact Sandt does not deny his identity, nor does he deny that he was in Sacra- mento at the time of the murder, nor that he was constantly in company with the BProut brothers, who were also suspected of the crime. ’I‘hs Sacramento authori- ties claim to have a much better case against Sandt than they had against the Sprouts, whom they had to discharge. Sandt was taken to Sacramento last night. ——————— Paris has 86,150 horses, of which 15,084 belong to the Omnibus Company and 11,- 177 to the cab companies.

DOUBTS THE SIGNATURES TO IT The New Guard Completed and to Be Submitted to the Super- visors at Once. Manager E.P. Vining of the streetcar combine wants to know who is responsible for a letter about electric-car fenders which he received Thursday. It bore the names of J. Cumming Smith, D. Hanson Irwin, W. L Kipp Jr. and John M. Reynolds, and scored both him and the company vigor- ously. The entire letter, including all the signatures, is in one handwriting. Mr, Vining, therefore, feels sure that the sig- natures of the ministers appended to it were not authorized. “I don’t see how any of them could have signed that letter,” he said. ‘The views expressed are entirely at variance with the statements made by the gentlemen when they talked with me. There are also a number of things in the letter which the signers must have known were erroneous. “For this reason I think they could not have understood the true nature of the communication to which they attached their signatures. I have therefore written each of these gentlemen in regard to the matter. As soon as I learn who i sponsible for the sentiments expresss that letter I am going to answer itand will then show how unjust it is.” = Mr. Vining would not say what his an- swer would embody. The entire subject, he said,. had been gone over with the com- mittee of ministers when they visited the carhouse. They had said there was much they had not understood, both about the law and the facts, and had expressed great satisfaction at being put aright. Yet, he says, they complained of these very things in their letter. “There is another peculiar thing about that letter,” said Mr. Vining. “I read about it in the paper in the morning. It was not until 5 o’clock that afternoon that the letter reached my office, though this seems rather odd, since the letter is ad- dressed to me personally. “As for the fenders, we are doing all we can. Weare rather handicapped by the shortness of the time allowed us by the Supervisors for expurimentini ‘We would like to have been able to have studied the fender we had decided upon more closely. Asit is, it combines the best ideas of the heads of the different departments and will be a great improvement on the old one. “During the past month we have had a surfeit of fenders thrust upon us. Over 100 different ideas were presented. Some were rat traps, some were horse rakes, some were lawn-mowers and some were street-sweeping machines. None, how- ever, were what our practical experience had taught us was necessary.” The new fender varies from the old in that it is flexible and lies closer to the track. The conditions in S8an Francisco were so eculiar, Mr. Vining said, that he had not een able to take advantage of the fenders used in other big cities. In Boston, for in- stance, the fenders were nearly one and a half feet above the ground. Here tney had to be one and a half inches. This, he explained, was possible, al- though they could not be run any closer. The bobbing on the springs on rocking on the uneven roadbed would make the fen- der scrape on the ground as it was. Small rollers fastened to the front made it possi- ble to have the fenders that close to the ground. As it was they would also be five inches off at times. “The new fender will be submitted to the Supervisors as soon as possible,”” Mr. Vining said in conclusion. *If they ap- prove it we will atonce get to work pre- paring them. We have no time to spare, either. The fenders have to be on by June 1. There are over 100 electric-cars in use now. As they do not turn round, but run either way, this will necessitate fenders for every car—one to each end—and itis going to take some time and labor to pre- pare 200 odd fenders.” The wealth of the Rothschilds at present is estimated at £400,000,000, and is believed to have doubled within the twenty years past.
