22 / THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 19, 1895. The Tivoli revives ““Dorothy” to-morrow. The Lilliputians open a1 the Baldwin to-night. «A Man Among Men” is to be the next attrac- | tion at Morosco's. Levy, the well-known cornetist, opens at the Orpheum to-morrow. The James M. Ward Company plays for an- other week at the Alcazar. Fred C. Whitney, the light-opera impressario, | is organizing & comedy company for next sea- ‘l son. Y | A1l the Comforts of Home" will be put on | the boards of the Columbia Theater, following | “Captain Swift.” Charles H. Pratt, manager of Marie Tavary Grand Opera Company, proposes to send an agent to Europe this spring in search of novel- ties in the operatic line. Carrie Roma, the prima donna of the United Btates Marine band concert tour, is described by & Memphis newspaper as resembling Du Maurier’s celebrated heroine. Robert Downing has clesed his season of thirty-seven weeks, which he says is the most prosperous he has ever had, and has turned gardener for the summer months at his coun- try place at Bennings, aear the National capital. Angustin Daly does not scem to have made much of & hit with his company at Washington | during his recent visit there. Jay Durham of the Washingion News says that Miss Rehan is full of mannerisms and that the repertoire of plays is stale. J. A. Crabtree, brother of Lotta and formerly manager of the Park Theater, Boston, cables from London to Theatrical Tidings that he has purchased the American rights of “Gentleman Joe” and will bring to America an English company to produce it Fanny Davenport attributes any misfortune | she may have to birds. She never allows any to be about the theater during her engage- ment, and she recently rcjected & set of scenery on which the artist had given vent to his fancy in the shape of & peacock. Apropos of the statement that Richard Mans- | field, in his Garrick Theater in New York, is | the pioneer in having an orchestra without | brass instruments, William Furst, the comic- opera composer, (aps his baton and remarks that | the band he directs at the Empire Theater has always been withont the blare of brass. The scene of ‘The Wizard of the Nile,” the new comic opera by Victor Herbert and Harry | B.Smith, in ancient Egypt. Cleopatre is an | cidental figure, but she is not likely to con- flict with any other stage Cleopatra. In fact, the daughter of the Ptolemies is shown in this piece as & schoolgirl who is entirely ignorant of love, A composer of songs who resides at Wichita, Kansas, writes to Jessie Bartlett Davis, th orite contralto of the Bostonians: It was I composed ‘The Wristlets Which Mollie Wore,” sung with gre~t success by Flossie Romaine of the Standard Comedy Company. Ifyou willsi my new song, ‘Mamie's New Calico Dress,’ I will dedicate it to you.” Mrs. Davis will not | sing the new song this season at any rate. V- Theatrically r, last week was a | memorable one, for it marked two eras| which will probably produce important | results. | The opening of the pretty new Columbia Theater on Monday, which was quite a | brilliant and fashionable event, showed | that Messrs. Friedlander & Gottlob have | the sympathies of the public in their new undertaking. If one can judge from one week’s success, their theater has taken a permanent place among the houses of amusement in this City. The other important theatrical event of | Jast week was the great success of the Ysaye concerts. This success means more than the mere fact that the great Belgian violinist found as ready a recognition in San Francisco asin New York or Boston. Local chauvinism may rejoice in that, but | music-lovers see in it a promise of more good things to come. Itis often said with some show of truth that the price of ad- mission to theaters is so low here that great artists, who are used to ten franc and half-guinea rates in Europe, do not care to risk the long journey from Chicago to San | Francisco in order to charge at the end of | it rates that are normal to them, but that must seem exorbitant to the public here. This question of remuneration has fre- quently prevented famous performers from coming here till age has made them stale to Eastern and European audiences. Now, apart from the seasons of Italian and German opera in the East last winter, Ysaye was the great musical sensation. He has come to California with the bloom of his first Eastern success fresh upon him, | those two popular Kennark; Mrs. Seabrook, Miss McAllis ter; Mabel, Miss Bates; Lady Staunton, Miss Archer. Mr. Haddon Chambers, the author of “Captain Swiit,” has made a great hit with his latest production, * John a’ Dreams,” and the author has another piece about to be produced in London, which the prophets say will equal the former successes of this remarkable young dramatist, for Chambers is now only 34 years of age. TIVOLI OPERA-HOUSE. Cellier's Taneful ‘‘Dorothy” Will Be the Next Production, It is the intention of the management of the Tivoli Opera-house to produce a num- ber of new operettas in the near future. Before taking thisnew departure, however, Cellier's *“‘Dorothy” will be staged, with lays, “The ldler” and | the conclusion of the third act, is the one when the co-operative store is blown up by the indignant miners, who have become tired of taking tneir wages in orders for supplies. ‘A Man Among Men” contains a num- ber of good acting parts, H.Coulter Brinker, Fred J. Butler ameand Edna Hall having particularly strong roles. The cast will be as follows: Harry Dorr. ...H. Coulter Brinker John Morrow, superintendent R. T. M. & . Co. -Leslie Morosco Harry Benrimo ..George Hermance Willard Newell | Bob Stattord Tom Warden | George Makepe: Lawlor. . Mina Gleason Julla Blanc e Ellsworth Helen Henry AT THE ORPHEUM. Leovy, the Famous Cornetist, Will Appear To-Morrow. A number of new attractions are prom- ised for the Orpheum during the coming week, among them being Levy, the famous cornetist. Among the new performers who will ap- pear to-nuorrow about the best known are Rogers brothers, clever German comedians, and Maud Raymond, the dashing singing soubrette, Nizarras and Aimee, the Spanish ring athletes, are also popular performers, as also are Richmond and Glenroy, the comedy Scotch artists. These five debuts will be accompanied o ELSIELAU BALDWIN and the fact that he has found so ready and cordial an appreciation here—advanced rates notwithstanding—will doubtle: as an encouragement to Paderew: many other artists who, up to the present, have considered Chicago the Western limit of an American tour. “HUMPTY DUMPTY UP TO DATE.” The Play in Which the Lilliputians Appear at | the Baldwin, The Lilliputians, after two years’ absence from the Pacific Coast, open a short en- gagement at the Baldwin Theater to-night with the spectacular production “Humpty Dumpty Up to Date.” There have been scarcely any changes in the personnel of the company since it was here last. Tiny Franz Ebert, Selma Goerner, the diminutive soubrette, and funny Adolf Zink will all be seen in parts well suited to their talent, as well as Tda Mahr, Bertha Gaegar, Tony Meister and Herman Ring. Among the new recruits are Elsie Lau, who plays the fairy in “Humipiy Dumpty,” ‘and little Ludwig Merkel, who acts his part in English, which he seasons with Bowery slang. “Humpty Dumpty” is said to ievery iorgeous from a spectacular standpoint. mong the scenes the palace of drinks, the forest seen in the dawn of day and the diamond grotto are said to be especially resplendent. g here are four grand ballets, entitled the ballet of drinks, the fly ballet, the ballet of metals and precious stones and the pierrot dance of the thousand and one Humpty | Dumptys. 7 A number of trained animals take part in the performance, and the music and the choruses are said to be above the average of spectacular productions. THE COLUMBIA THEATER, Last Week's Success to Be Followed by “‘Oaptain Swift.” At the Columuvia Theater’ preparations are being made for an elaborate production of Haddon Chambers’ comedy-drama, “Captain Swift,”” which takes place on Monday evening. This will be the occa- sion of the debut of Miss Jenny Kennark before a San Francisco audience. She.is already popular in the East. H. D. Blakemore will also make his first appearance in “Captain Swift,”” when he, with Miss Bates, carries the comedy ele- ment. The opportunity to show what he is worth, however, does not come until the week following, when *“All the Comforts of Home” will run. by a number of acts which were applauded \\'\\\\ A essentially the same cast as when it last proved such a popular attraction at this house. It will be remembered that the last production of “Dorothy” signalized the return of Nash to the Tivoli as stage manager, and that it was in this opera that Raffael first appeared agthe Tivoli. “Dorothy’’ opens to-morrow night forone week’s run. Hartman will have his old co_medg art of Lurcher, the Sheriff’s man. Miss Salinger is to play Dorothy, Miss Plaisted Phyllis and Kfiss Nielsen Lydia. Arthur Mesmer takes the role of Wilder this time, and Branson, Olmi and Torpi lay their original parts. The opera will carefully mounted and the costumes will be correct and picturesque. . Next week a nove ty will be introduced in “The May Queen.’ MOROSCO’S OPERA-HOUSE. Production of Another Melodrama New to This City. The production to-morrow evening at Morosco's will be William Hudson’s “A. Man Among Men.” This drama has never been piayed before in San Francisco, but it has succeeded in the East. The action takes place in the iron-min- ing regions of the Allegheny Mountains, T.D. Frawley will play Captain Swift, and H. D. Blakemore, Harry Seabrook. and the story centers round labor troubles. The ladies of the cast are: Stella, Miss | The most striking scene, which occurs at last week, such as the performances of George H. Wood, the somewhat different comedian; Will H. ¥ox (Padewhiskie); Meyer Cohen, the California barytone; Felix and Cain, etc. THE ALCAZAR THEATER. James M, Ward and His Company Will Play Another Week. ‘“Finn McCool,” a stirring military drama by the late Dion Boucicault, was first pro- duced on this coast at the Alcazar last Thursday night by the James Ward Com- pany. James M. Ward was seen in the title role, a brave-hearted Irishman who becomes imbued with the war feeling and becomes an American soldier. Owing to the success of this company the house management has extended the engagement for another week. The programme for the week will be as follows: Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day nights, “Shamus O’'Brien,” which has been played with success all over the coast. Mr. Ward will appear in the title-role. Thursday, Friday and Saturday matinee, “Kitty O’Connor,”” when the favorite actress, Clara Clarke Ward, will play the leading part. Saturday, Sunday matinee and Sunday ni%t, “The Shaughraun,” with James' M. Ward as Conn and Carrie lCLnke ‘Ward as the charming Moya. A benefit has been tendered Mrs. Ward, which will take place on Thursday even- ing, 23d inst: A Benefit Concert. At the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium, on the 29th inst., a concert will be tendered to Elmer de Pue, the well-known society tenor, who has just returned from the Last, where he has been singing with the Bostonians, The programme will be par- ticipated in by Mrs. Charles J. Dickman, Mrs. Maud Berry-Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Stewart and Donald de V. Graham, who will sing for the first time in public since his return from abroad. Tue CHEAPNESS OF ErrcTRICAL COOKING. There is a common belief outside of elec- trical circles that electric cooking must for a long time be too expensive to become gen- eral. R. E.Crompton, the English pioneer in this branch of work, has done a praise- worthy thing in disabusing the public mind of this idea. In & recent lecture Mr. Crompton adduced certain facts which es- tablish conclusively the superior economy as well as efficiency of cooking by electric heat. The success which has crowned the persevering efforts of the advocates of electric cooking has been in a very large measure due to the splendid accuracy with which they have been able to measure the temperature actually obtained and the quantity of heat actually required in vari- ous culinary operations. Asis pomte_d out by an English electrical journal, until ex- act data had been obtained upon these points not even the best-informed person could credit the tremendous wastefulness of existing methods. It was hardly sur- prising that few people s| faith in the future possib heating, which, being supplied at thestart with a mere 6 per cent of the total energy of the coal, could scarcely have been ex- pected, even with a 90 per cent efficiency, to compete with coal fires until it was as- certained that the efliciency of these rarely exceeded 2 per cent. Thjs enormous waste is due to the fact that with the sole excep- tion of boiling and stewing all the opera- tions of cookery depend on the radiation of heat to the substance to be cooked. Take, for instance, the process of grilling a chop; consider how much coke has to be burned before a bed of glowing fuel fit for the pur- pose is obtained, and note that after the ctlear grilling fire is in order 70 per cent of the heat goes up the chimney, 16 per cent is radiated into the room, or employed in roasting the cook, male or female, as the case may be, and it will not be difficult to understand that the chop itself does not receive more than 2 per cent of the total heat units. On the other hand, with a properly-arranged griller, heated by elec- trical means, fully 65 per cent of the heat energy in the electricity is utilized in the meat. The electrically worked kitchen may be kept as cool as a dairy if it be de- sired, and the effects on the guality of the cooking, and on the health and tempers of the staff must be experienced to be ap- preciated. In cooking with the gas stove it is necessary to allow ventilating cur- rents of air to pass over the surfaces which are cooking. These currents of air dry up and harden and take away the flavor of the outer portions of the meat. With electrical cooking the absence of any ven- tilating currents and the stillness of the air prevent such drying and hardening action; the meat is found to be tender and jwicy right up to the extreme outer surface; it is browned only tora sufficient extent to please the eye and the palate. Tee Exkcrric WEeD-KiLLEr.—The elec- tric weedekiller, which was experimented upon some time ago with varying results, is said to- have been brought down to practical 'shape. The device was intended originally for the destruction of grass and weeds along railroads. It is expected to be especially valuable in the destruction of plants of the thistle tribe, in which the root itself must be destroyed in order to annihilate the weed. It is claimed that the use of the electric weed-killer will re- auce the cost or keeping railway lines clear of vegetation from $40 to $80 per mile per year. The operation of the device is based on the varying conductivity of vegetables; the more moisture they contain the less resistance they offer to the current. The apparatus consists of an alternating gen- erator mounted on a car producing elec- tricity at 2000 volts pressure and ‘“‘stepped up’’ to from 6000 to 24,000 volts, according to the kind and quality of the vegetation to be destroyed. The current, after beigg raised to the required voltage, is conducts through a series of fine wires or *‘brushes’ to the tops of the weeds or grass; the other side of the current being made through the wheels of the car to the ground. The current leaps from the suspended brush to the weeds and passes through them to the ground, thus completing the circuit. The current transverses the entire length of the plant, from the topmost leaf to the roots, rupturing its cellular tissue and completely destroying it. The root is generally affected " more than the rest of the plant, from the fact that it contains more moisture. Exrrostons 1~ Coxpurts ARrisine Frox ErEcrroLysis.—The recent scare with re- gard to explosions in electric conduits has set inventors at work to find a remedy, and to that end quite a number of suggestions have been made. It will be remembered that the committee which reported on the fatal St. Pancras explosions in Laondon found that an alkaline incrustation oun the insulators of the electric mains had caused sparks, which ignited the explosive mix- ture of gas and air in the conduits. These sparks were due to the incrustation acting as an imperfect conductor. Nevertheless the existence of metallic sodium or potas- sium in the deposit, taking fire in con- tact with moisture, might also ignite the explosive gas. It was decided that the de- posit was due chiefly to the electric de- composition of alkaline salts in the soil, which were conveyed by moisture to the wooden supports of the conductors. The committee recommended the use of a dif- ferent insulator, the disuse of wooden bearers, and a regular and proger inspec- tion of the conduits throughout eir whole length. TELEPHONE OurrIr FOR FIRE BRIGADES.— Many city fire departments are now adding telephones to their brigade outfit, with the effect of vastly increasing the efficiency of the department. When the engine ar- rives at the fire one of the firemen con- nects the telephone outfit, which weighs only a Poun&? with the fire-alarm line. This gives a means of communicating in- stantly with headquarters. It is no slight advantage to be able to transmit a verbal report of the progress of the fire, and order up additional engines where the occasion does not justify calling out an entire relay of apparatus,” and thus uncovering addi- tional territory. In point of fact, the use of the telephone transfers the active man- agement of the whole fire department to the scene of the fire at which the depart- ment is at work. Erecrrican Inpusrries.—The amount of capital engaged in the electrical industry, not including telegraphy, is estimated as follows: England $100,000,000, France $150,- 000,000, Germany $200,000,000, Austria, Ttaly, Spain and Switzerland $180,000,000, Russia, Sweden. Norway and Denmark $50,000,000, the United States $450,000,000, Canada and other American countries $50,000,000, making a_total of about $680,- 000,000 in Europe and $500,000,000 in Amer- ica. — e A Divorce Denied. Judge Hebbard yesterday denied the petition of Kate Murphy for a divorce from Richard Murphy on the ground of extreme cruelty. PLAINT OF AN ENGINEER He Asks for Over Two Hun- dred Thousand Dollars for His Work. Had Acted Under De Lesseps and Lately Surveyed for a Road “on Paper.” H. J. Bovie has sued Frederick Homer for $219,171, alleged to be due on contracts. The nature of one of these contracts Is not stated in the complaint, but the other was an alleged contract to give plstmnff $200,000 paid up shares, “should said fie- fendant be “instrumental in the formation of a company or companies to build a pxl- way in certain sections of the country, in- cluding the San Joaquin Valley.” It is stated that on December 19, 1894, the defendant was instrumental in the for- mation of the San Francisco and Los An- geles Railway Company, having for its ob- ject the building of a railway in the San Joaquin Valley, wherefore the plaintiff sues for the shares. Attorney W. H. H. Hart, who appeared for the plaintiff, states that Bovie is an ex- perl engineer. He is a Frenchman w_ho worked for Ferdinand de Lesseps in his in- ternational enterprises at Suez and Panama. Hart declares that Homer is always pro- moting new railroadsand that he has three or four at present “on paper.” He says that Homer engaged Boyie to do the en- gineering work In_surveys, etc:, for the San Francisco and Atlantic Railroad, to run_from San Francisco to Cincinnati. Borie, he says, was at work on the road for three years preceding May 19, 1891, and made hisreport. Homer had replied that he could not pay him then, but gave him his note for four years'and made the con- tracts referred to in the complaint. Bovie has done all the work on the railroads in question and simply wanted his pay for services. IS THIS TRUE? A Man Recovers From Dim- ness of Vision—He Is Almost Blind—He Said It Is Too True. HIS DAUGHTER READ TO HiM. James Andreas, Living on Point Lobos Road, Tells a Wonder- ful Story—It Is Certainly Startling. Past three score and five, in the full vigor of his prime, with an erect carriage and a splen- did gait, fairly strong and lusty, John Andreas greets you as you enter his little house on the road. He has traveled much, seen the various peoples of the Old World, and has a com- placent, self-satisfied air which gives one ease, even comfort, in his presence. He told me that a short time ago he began to have failing sight, not that his eyes were weak, but there seemed to be a film over them. His daughter had to read the papers to him in the evening. His face was sallow and jaundiced. His sys- tem seemed all out of order. Being given a small sample of the Home Remedy, Joy's Vege- table Sarsaparilla, he tried it. The only noted effect was on the bowels. He then bought a bottle of Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla and be- gan taking the medicine regularly. After using half a bottle he noticed his face was not quite so sallow as it was, and that he could walk longer with small sense of fatigue. He continued to use the remainder of the bottle of Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla and his eyes re- covered their wonted vim and brilliancy. His daughter did not need to read to him any more. He is a happy man and does not care who knows it. P — NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS. .
