The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, May 26, 1895, Page 22

22 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 26, 1895. There are a number of new specialties at the Orpheum this week. Miss Jessie Norton will be the leading light at the Alcazar this week. The title of Lillian Russell’s new opera sounds like & merry May sneeze. Ysaye plays next Friday night and Saturday afternoon, at the California Theater. The Wednesday and Saturday matinees of the Liliputians have proved very successfully. Janet Achurch thinks posterity will regard Ibsen as the Shakespeare of the Victorian era. M. B.Curtisand wife are in London endeavor- ing to arrange for & production of “Samuel of Posen.” Duse has & new play, “The She Wolf,” by Verga, which she will do in Italy and bring here in the fall. Morosco has secured & new leading man in the person of Edmund Hayes, who has played in good Easiern companies. “Trilby” will be produced st the Baldwin this summer by the company now playing at the Garden Theater, New York. The newspaper coupon sccident insurance policy is the subject of & successful one-act farce at John Hare's Garrick Theater in Lon- don. The book of “The May Queen,” which the Tivoli will produce to-morrow, has been en- tirely rewritten since the operetta was played here in. 1887. | — | Itis said that a well-known society girl, a | debutante, will make her first appearance on | any stage at the Columbia Theater next month | under Frawley’s management. | Charles Barnard, author of the “County Fair,” has been trying a risky experiment. He hasmade a play out of the Salvation Army, making much use of the religious element. The Hawaiian band contemplates giving one of its brilliant concerts at the Columbia Thea- | ter shortly, when & special programme will be | arranged, including many unique and origi- nal songs. William Dean Howells has translated “Sam- kon,” a d:amatic spectacle in five acts, from the Italian. Itisaplay full of strong situations, | and was well presented by a good company at the People’s Theater, on the Bowery, New York, last week. — | Du Maurier has expressed an ardent desire | to visit America and will probably come over | about the end of May, reaching Boston, accom- | panied by A. M. Palmer, Paul Potter and the Harper brothers, before “Trilby” is withdrawn from the Boston Theater. “Mrs. says & London sporting | week. ely as ever, but looking a trifle tired, turned up at Newmarket direct from 'Murrica on Wednesday. 8he was enveloped | in an ulster made out of a gray horse-blanket, the designer of which should be blindiolded, led out of the city limits and shot.” “Humpty Dumpty” has quite fulfilled the expectations of the audiences in this City, who know the Lilliputians and ex- pect a great deal from them. It would be hardly possible to improve upon the pres- ent performance of the little peovle, who show an artistic grace and versatility that | many actors three or four times their size | might gaze upon in hopeless envy. As for the ballet in “Humpty Dumpty,” | it always has gorgeous settings and cos- tumes, and the dancing passes in the multitude of high-kicking and shuffling that cities not possessing a season of grand opera generally learn to watch with resig- nation, and sometimes end by admiring fervently. The coryphees in *Humpty Dump! are all young and fresh and they have a complished wonders in their five weeks’ training. i One of the chief theatrical events this | week will be the appearance of Ysaye at the California on Friday and Saturday. After the virtuoso has given his two con- certs the house will remain closed till June 24, when the “Old Homestead" inaug- urate the autumn series of productions, The new Columbia Theater is still pur- suing the even tenor of its way with the Frawley Dramatic Company, which will this week exchange romantic drama for farce-comedy. Itis announced that the Columbia will know no rest for more than & year, as the series of attractions already booked goes on to July, "96. THE LILIPUTIANS. Plays That Will Succeed the Little People at the Baldwin, The Liliputians are continuing their suc- cess in “Humpty Dumpty Up to Date” at the Baldwin Theater. The play, which is sumptuously mounted and staged, gives the clever little actors, notably Franz Ebert, Selma Goerner and Adolph Zink, excellent opportunity to display their talent. An amusing bit of comedy is made of the scene between Humpty Dumpty and Ludwig Merkel asthe monkey. The latter | is small enough to be mistaken for a do- mesticated simian. The hunting scene, in which all the Liliputians take part on trained ponies, and the Bowery Booze are some of the specialtics which will doubt- less be singled out for as much applause this week as they were last. After the run of “Hum the Baldwin will close. mences its regular son with the engagement of the Ly Theater Company, who will produce Amazons,” *‘Rebellious Su " and some of their earlier success will be followed by Gillette his”~ comedy. which has’ run all season in New York, called “Too Much Johnson.” Then come in rapid succession the Pauline Hall Opera Company, in a new opera, John Drew in “The Bauble Shop” and other plays, A. M. Palmer’s company in “Trilby,” the same production that is how at the Garden Theater in New York, | Lederer and Canary’s review “The Passing Show.” The De Woli Opera Company. Stuart Robson, Marie Wainwright, Fred YWarde, the Tavary Opera Compan Hoyt's “Milk-white Flag,” James O'Nei. i TWO FAREWELL CONCERTS. | to ty Dumpty” | On July15 it com- tumn and winter sea- in Ysaye Appear at 4 i Theater. Ysaye, who recently aroused so much enthusiasm at the Baldwin Theater, re- turns to S8an Francisco this week for two farewell concerts, which will be given on Friday evening and Saturda) afternoon at the California Theater. As before, Ysaye will be assisted by the ianis¢ Lachaume and by a local orches- ra. The following programme will be verformed on Friday night: “Kreutzer Sonata” Adagio Susten ante con Variazione. Finale, Presto. M. Ysaye and Lachaume. Concerto No. & (in oge movement)..... Vieuxtemps . Ysaye. <veve.E. Giravd the California ... Beethoven “Allegro de Concert” = M. Lachsume. {(G) Romance....

He will | also give Max Bruch’s “‘Scotch’ fantasie, op. 46, and Ernst’s “Othello’ fauntasie. COLUMBIA THEATER. The Frawley Company to Appear in Farce- Comedy. “All the Comforts of Home” Will be | presented at the Columbia Theater to- morrow evening. This breezy farce-comedy,which is one of | Gillette’s best adaptations, will give the | Frawley Dramatic Company an oppor- | tunity of being seenin a play which af- | fords a strong contrast to the serious, ro- mantic “QOaptain Swift,”” which ran last week at the Columbia Theater. From beginning to end of ‘“All the Comforts of Home” there occurs a series of complications which are funny largely because of their intricacy. As every one who has seen the adaptation Maud Raymond will appear in new spe- cialties. “THE MAY QUEEN. Another Comio Opera to Be Produced at the Tivoli., Gaston Serpette’s comic opera, ‘“The May Queen,” will be produced by the Tivoli stock company to-morrow to-night. The only English version of this opera was given once before at the Tivoll in 1877, | The book has been entirely rewritten since then, and it now stands it contains some droll situations and breezy dialogue, while the bright and tuneful music, of | course, remains i The comedy parts will be in the hands of Hartman and Bran- son, Gracie Plaisted will_play the role of Denisette, the “May Queen,” and Miss Salinger, Miss Nielsen and Messmer ana Raffael will all have good parts. After the “May Queen” one of the also assist. The scenic effects are described as affording some fine contrasts; for in- stance—a Finland scene, with snow fall- ing, the wind howling, and reindeer-bells jangling without, while the mother sings to her babe, snug and warm within. This picture of domestic comfort in the far north will probably be followed by a tropical scene, where the mother is'sur- rounded by oriental luxury. : In the collection and orchestration of the cradle songs Henri Fairweather has taken a great amount of work. Mrs. Henri Fairweather is the stage manager. Be- tween the acts, Miss Gertrude Judd, Miss Pearl Noble and Baby Ina Gerrish will Elve solos. The following programme will e performed : Swedish, (as sung by Light and Rosy Be Thy Slumbers” T Lind), Miss Mary Sullivan: Arabian, cp, My Eye, Sleep,’ Miss Grace Keser; British, “Hush, My Babe, Be Still and Slumber,” Mrs. Carrie Brown Dexter; Finland, “Baby, When You Drive & Reindeer,” Mme.

Martyn Arbuckle and Wilson Enos, two actors who were formerly with “The Girl T Left Behind Me” company, will make their first appearance in the ranks of the Frawley Dramatic Company to-morrow evening in “All the Comforts of Home.” A special matinee performance of Gillette's comedy will be given at the Columbia The- i ater on Decoration day. Messrs. Friedlander, Gottlob and Marx state that rly all their time is filled up to July, 1896. with companies that include dramatic, operatic, specialty and minstrel organizations. MOROSC0'S OPERA-HOUSE. Romantic Drama Holds the Boards This Week. To-morrow evening the romantic drama, ‘‘The Face in the Moonlight,” will be pro- duced at Morosco’s Opera-house. The play is a strong one, and an additional interest will be lent to it by the fact that it will serve to introduce to this house Morosco’s new leading man, Edmund Hayes. This young actor, who is to be perma- nently connected with the stock company, will play the dual role of Jacques Ferrand i and Victor Ambroise, parts which should afford him a good opportunity of making a favorable impression. The following is the full cast of “The Face in the Moonlight.”” PROLOGUE.

A special matinee will be given on Decoration day, next Thursday. AT THE ORPHEUM. Amann Will Be One of the Chief Attractions This Week. "The popular cornet player Jules Levy proved the great attraction at the Orpheum last week, and doubtless he will continue to draw as well during the remainder of hisengagement. For the coming week Amann, the im- personator, is announced as one of the stars. He has devoted years to studying the characteristics of statesmen and other celebrities and is said to be able to give life-like impersonations of world-famous men. McIntyre and Heath will give some exemplifications of plantation life, which will doubtless provoke plenty of laughter, as_their entertainment is of a highly ludicrous character. Another novelty will be Falke and Se- mon, vocalists and comedians, who will appear in an act that is said to be refined ;and original. The Roger Brothers and Tivoli’s most successful productions, “Ship Ahoy,” will be presented, with the addition of new topical verses, songs, duets, etc. The management of the Tivoli is preparing to mount an entirely new opera in the near future. ALCAZAR THEATER. Miss Jessie Norton to Appear in the Corner Grocery.” “The Corner Grocery’’ is the play an- nounced for the coming week at the Alca- zar. It is a story of every-day life, simply told, and it contains some of those touches of nature which are said to make the whole world kin. The soubrette, Jessie Norton, who has been starring in the interior of the State, will play the role of the irrepressible youth Jamesie Nolan. The leading male part, that of Daddy Nolan, will be sustained by W- 3. Elleford. THE CIRCUS ROYAL. Living Bronze Statues Viewed From an Artistic Standpoint. Regardless of the fact that the female form with only a covering of bronze is to be seen at the Circus Royal, the patronage of the fair sex has not fallen off, but on the contrary has increased. Many people seem to consider that spectacles of this character are to be viewed from an artistic standpoint. The admirers of the beautiful, in art and nature, are pleased with the present production at the Circus Royal. A 'LOCAL VOOCALIST. Testimonial Concert to Elmer de Pue—Phil- harmonic Society’s Concert. The following programme will be per- formed at the testimonial concert that will be tendered to Elmer de Pue in the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium on the 29th inst.: Violoncello solos, (a) Serenade (Sitt), (b) Spinnlied (Popper), Louis von der Mehden Jt.; songs (a) “Pepita” (Pyrenean), (b) “Teresiti mia” (Mclodlea{, Mrs. Maud Berry-Fisher; song, “What Would I Be” s piano duet, *‘Eine Baliscenen” (Nicode), M and Mrs. H.J.

The mphofiy will be Haydn’s No.7. Miss illian Morey is to be the vocalist. CRADLE SONGS OF NATIONS, How Oskland Ladies Will Raise Money for the Woman's Exchange, A unique entertainment will take place at the Macdonough Theater, Oakland, on Tuesday next, for the benefit of the ‘Woman’s Exchange. It will consist of an illustrated concert of the lullabies sung by the mothers of the world to their children, and the musical characteristics of the songs will be as diverse as the costumes of the she Caryll), Elmer de Pue; vocalists who will illustrate, in a scenic manner, the various cradle songs. | Some well-known local vocalists will | take part in the entertainment, and an ! orchestra, composed entirgly of ladies, will “The Jewess.” for the benefit of the Oak- land Free Clinic, and sang it well. It is impossible to pass over the performance without a special comment on the admira- ble work shown by the ladies of the cast, Mrs. Evelyn Winant Dickey and Miss Gooch, the former singing Rachael admir- ably, ably seconded by I\Fiss Gooch as Eu- dossia. Mrs. Dickey has a beautiful so- rano voice, which will make a name for er in the operatic firmament some day. The male members, especially the Cardinal (Mr. Leech), acquitted themselves splen- didly also. It is the intention to produce the opera here in the near future. IRVING'S " DON QUIXOTE." The English Actor's Interpretation of Qer- vantes’' Hero. Henry Irving has just put his own skill- ful art to a severe test by appearing in less than a couple of hours as two men, as dis- tinct and yet aslifelike as two men can possibly be. The characters he enacted in so brief a space of time were Don Quixote and an old driveling dotard who has fought at Waterloo and been reduced by age and decrepitude to second childhood. To play Don Quixote and the Waterloo veteran. and to be the man in each case, is a wonderfully artistic feat, and too much credit cannot be given to the artist for the happy result. For years past Irving has been pestered to play Don Quixote, just as, no doubt, he has been begged to plny Dr. Syntax. His figure, his face, and last of all his rare and beautiful smile, suggest the Don. But these dear enthusiastic friends so 'opper), Louis | often forget that it is one thing for an | actor to remind one of Don Quixote, and | quite another to torture a play out of the old Spanish romance. There is not a | ghost of a play init. Twist it, turn it, con- sider it as you will, no dramatist in the world could squeeze an interesting play | out of the adventures of the Knight of the | Rueful Countenance. Sooner or later the | Don must become a desperate bore. He must be continually on the stage, doing the same kind of thing, dragging the ro- mance inevitably to the dangerous border- land of farce, exciting the ridicule of those who have no imagination, and the yawns of the rest, who pretend they have read Cervantes, and would not ar Cross- examination on a line of him. Youraverage American and Englishman knows little of Ceryantes’ masterpiece. He knows that there was a half-witted knight who went about the country on a lean horse, attended by a fat squire on a don- key, and, if asked to particularize, he will remember that this knight on one occasion charged a windmill. Itis not the faultof the late Mr. Wills that he could not make a good play out of this satire. There is nothing dramatic about it. - All he conld do was to take two or three incidents and show the perturba- tions of the Don as involved in them. This he has done in two scenes. The first isin Don Quixote’s house, where he is seen reading his book of chivalry, instructing his household regarding his approaching departure and putting on his armor. The next scene is the stable-yard of the inn, and the audience is treated to the vigil, the fight with the muleteers, the attack on his own armor a$ it hangs on a pump in the moonlight, and the dubbing with knighthood by ‘the cuuning innkeeper. uch of this is rough horseplay, but through it all Mr. Irving never loses hold of a certain dignity which is the backbone of the character. 'He is never common- place. There is an ever-present dreami- ness, a poetry, which raises the character far above the ayerage representation of ec- centric comedy. Put this crazy enthusi- ast into the most ridiculous, and even con- temptible, situations; let him he the butt of a dozen elodhoppers, let_him be banged on the head and gnocked down by a posse of muleteers, yet his innate nobility and ersonal charm are never quite obscured. ¢ is always the gentleman—a really won- derful piece of acting. . Immeasurably more popular with the audience is Irving’s representation of a worn-out veteran —one who_ fought at Waterloo. His octogenarian is as finea bit of art in its way as any of Herkomer’s studies in his famous picture of the Chel- sea pensioners. The toothless gums; the worn, haggard face; the wolfish hunger for the warming rations; the clapping up of the s oonf\fi of paregoric; the dying fire of life awakened to xfume again by the music of a military band; the wonderful instinct of the old” soldier, who starts to attention at the mention of the colonel of the regiment—these are but a few of the details in_ this most realistic, highly studied and effective sketch. ; DOWNEYWILL DISOVER, San Francisco Heirs Will Not Engage in a Con- test. John T. Doyle Says the Ladles Are Not of the Contesting Kind. The unexpected discovery of a will made by ex-Governor Downey, May 15, 1877, was the talk of the town yesterday. The receiver of the Consolidated National Bank at San Diego is an Eastern man, and did not know anything about the public men of California, so when he found the document and read the indorsement he concluded to send it to the ex-Governor himself, and so mailed it to Los Angeles. John T. Doyle, counsel for one of the heirs—Mrs. E. Mar- tin—says that J. Downey Harvey, who happened to be in Los Angeles when the letter reached there, received it as admin- istrator of the estate. Replying to the re- ceiver, Mr. Harvey directed that the will be sent to himself, but the receiver, then learning for the first time that the testator was dead, declined to send the document to the administrator, but expressed a willingness to place it in possession of Stephen M. White, one of the executors. Meanwhile, Senator White had made en- gagements to be in San Francisco Friday evening, and could not postpone the: trip, so he left directions for the will to. be filed in the Probate Court. Speaking on the subject yesterday Sena- tor White said: “I have not seen the will to my knowledge, but perhaps I drew it, as I transacted much business for Gov- ernor Downey. The property is disposed of in the will as the Governor intended.” In the presence of Mrs, Donahue and Mrs. Martin John T. Doyle said yesterday that the will would not be contested by the ladies. They were not of the will contest- ing kind. ~Whatever disposition their brother desired to make of his estate they would respect. Mrs. Donahue and Mrs. Martin _contend that they did not detain ex-Governor Downey_in this City to prevent his mar- riage with Rosa Kelly. On_his return from a trip around the world they gave him a home and did everything possible to make his life pleasant. Moreover, it was said by the ladies that he was not engaged to marry Yda Addis. J. Downey Harvey will return from ihe south to-day. The will was made before the death of the Governor’s first wife. He married again, and if there had been issue by the second marriage the will would be revoked by operation of law. As no child was born, and the second as well as the first wife is dead, the will, in the judgment of the lawyers, must stand as the testator made it. AN IMPRISONED BIRD. How a Little Humming-Bird Was Held in the Petal of a Flower. Nature is a very loving and careful mother and it is seldom within a civilized community that any accident befalls her little ones, for which her higher creation, man, is not directly responsible. In view of this fact the following little incident seems interesting, says the New Orleans correspondent of the Philadelphia Times: A lady of this city relates that some days since the first humming-bird of the season made its appearance in her garden, sipping indiscriminately from the wealth of sweets. Late in the afternoon she observed the lit- tle fellow hovering around a spike of An- nunciation lilies which had shot up per- fectly laden with bells. The next mornin early when she went out for a matitudinal sttoll through the garden she heard a flut- tering and faint creeping from the neigh- borhood of the lily bed. For some time she could see nothing to account for the faint sounds, but at last was astonished to discover that one of the lily bells had closed its petals, imprisoning the hum- ming-bird within. It is probable that the bird had buried its beak too far in and ex- tracted so much honey as to cause the al- ready fading flower to collapse suddenly, thus holding the little fellow close-bound all night long. Seven New York Romeos were arrested in one week for borrowing money of their l?ldy loves and then refusing to marry them. e — Joy’s for the Jaded ana Good Health for all Mankind, JOY’'S VEGETARLE $ARSAPARILL ismade from herbs, and contafns no ties through nature’sown properchan- mineral nels.
