Such a company of light opera artists is | Iy met with, and when it is should be | made much of. In these days of artists turned out at tory prices, 8o to speak, it is not the rule to waste much serious study for the field of operetta. A %ood stage presence, a music-hall style of chortling tuneful ditties and considerable dash in acting are considered excellent equipments for shining as the stars in the light opera ament. Even in musical centers nd in the higher walks of opera one is frequently | pained to hear the factory-made vocalist | wrestling laboriously with music which is far bevond his half developed powers. The Bostonians modestly call themselyes t opera organization, but they sing | rivial music with such fine, well-trained | (,ives. such art and such ease, that they elevate the performance of merely pretty music, such as that in ‘““‘Robin Hood,” into & rare musical treat. Every one who loves singing must feel inclined to cry “bravo!” to them, for this is true vocal art—to sing within one’s powers and do a thing as well es it-can be done. “Annie Rooney" ren- dered well is more artistic than the “Casta Diva” sung indifferently. nick results, with Lackaye is t:ivin—g such a splendid ptfl:r-J | realism of his death scene, and the utter callousness of the bystanders, when he falls with his head lolling formance of Svengali at the Baldwin that more in sorrow than in carping criticism one notices a few minor details in his work that jar on the eye and the ear. His German pronunciation is faulty at times. Forinstance, he alludes to Scha- bert as a fellow-countryman, and in the same breath he drops the final “‘t"” in pro- nouncing the name of that divine song- writer. Svengali—Du Maurier's one of that ilk—would have known better. A few well-meaning but untraveled Americans lop off the *“t’’ that all Germans give to Schubert, because they think it elegant to be ‘‘foreign” when they discuss musicians, no matter whether the accent they adopt be French, German or Low Dutch, but if some years spent in the Latin quarter has made the German Svengali adopt such a Gallicism he must have been imitating Mark Twain’s friend, who, af‘er visiting Paris, forgot his mother tongue to the ex- tent of alluding to a man named “Herbert"” as “Monsieur ‘Erber’.” TLackaye’s neglect to make up his hands is another trivial detail, but it mutilates the over the edge of the table, recalls the deaths which men die in opera and melodrama. In both those walks of the drama, 1t is an unwritten law that as soon as an inspiring actor has no more lines, he is as far beyond resuscitating as an Egyp- T VEENONA JARBEAU, WITH “THE PASSING SHOW.” tian mummy. But *Trilby” is not a melo- drama, and, though it is very effective for Svengali to lie prostrate till the curtain falls, the realism of the scene would not be | detracted from if some of the bystanders Lucy Daly, With the Passing Show sisted by Miss Laura Millard and a clever company. Balawin Theater. “Trilby” is still filling the Baldwin Theater. and will probably continue to do so for the rest of the week. It has been decidea to give an extra perform- ance of the play on Wednesday afternoon. On Monday, the 21st, comes that aggrega- tion of star performers, Canary & Leder- er’s New York Casino Company, in “The Passing Show,” which had such a run in New Ygork and Chicago. The piece is de- scribed as a bit of music, a sprinkling of burlesque, spgeialties and travesties on Eopuln plays, among them being “The auble Shop,” “The Crust of Society,” “Sowing the Wind,” ‘Shores Acres,” “Trilby,” “The Second Mrs. Tanquersy,” etc. Besides all this, it is a melange of nearly everything dramatic and musical, from trageg and grand opera to farce and music-hall ditties. At the benefit to be tendered the Actors’ Fund of America at the Baldwin Theater on Friday afternoon the programme wall number among its many features the sec- ond act of “Trilby” ; memkers of the Tivoli Opera company, in the sextet from “‘Lu- cia”; Milton Nobles, in a monologue; Leonard Grover’s Alcazar company, in the screaming farce *Joe’s Girls.” ~ Wilton Lackaye will appear after presenting the character of Svengali in the second act of “Trilby” and give a recitation without his makeup on. From the Orpheum will be Gilbert and Goldie, Haines and Pettingill, the Gotham City quartet and the fom- Schrodes. Columbia Theater. The tuneful “Robin Hood” has proved such an attraction at the Columbia Thea- ter that it has been decided to play the work for another week. On Monday, October 21, “Prince Ana- nias,”’ by Victor Herbert, director of Gil- more’s Band, will be produced. The libretto of this work tells a story of the six- teenth century. The romantic side of the ogern is supplied by a vagabond poet and adventurer, who falls 1n love with the lead- ing lady of a band of strolling players. The comedy sjde is furnished by the managed to convey the impression that they coneidered Svengali’s prostrate form | as a thing needing humane attention, in- | stead of turning unanimously away before the life was well out of it. “Bertha, the Sewing-machine Girl,” was hardly up to the level of the other plays which Milton Nobles has presented at the Grand. Asin the others the actor-author was the axis round which the whole plot revolved, and he always enters so thor- oughly into the part he represents that the audience, as a rule, could not get too much of him. But it is easy to have too much of a drunken man and that was the painful role which Milton Nobles enacted very realistically in ‘“Bertha.”’ | Leslie had a good part and made the most of it, and the Judge carried all before him. Very stirring were the midnight acts that took place in the Texas skanty. In the midst of such intense excitement it was perbaps hardly to be wondered at that Miss Hall should go to bed and leave the slip of paper—the only proof of her mar- riage—lying on the supper table, within reach of the old man who was to receive $2000 for stealing it. Asusual at the Grand, the scenery was | realistie, and every detail of the staging | was carefully worked out. It seems a pity that the Tivoli perform- | ances of grand opera are drawing toa close, for thousands of people have heard them | with perennial pleasure. ‘La Traviata' last week was the best representation that | has yet been given. Miss Valerga and Mr. Raffael especially distinguished them- | selves. The Orpheum was crowded as usunal all last week. The Brothers Schrode proved to be clever pantomimists, as well as won-. derful acrobats, and Miss Lottie Murphy’s “Foot ball Song” created a furor. *My Son-in-Law” kept things lively all At the Macdonough Theater in Oakland on to-morrow evening Henry E. Dixey will give his famous imitations of Sir Henry Irving, Professor Herrmann, Paderewski, Svengali, etc., together with the “Seven | Ages of Man” and the celebrated barber- shop scene from “Adonis.” He will be as- Helen Bertram, Soprano of the Bos- tonians. gloomy King of Navarre, a monarch who has never smifd during the whole course of his life, and the efforts of the strolling players are to provide an entertainment for him which will make him laugh. During their engagement at the Colum- bia Theater the Bostonians will produce “A War-time Wedding” for the first time on any stage. Grand Opera-House. To-morrow night Milton Nobles opens his fourth and final week at the Grand in the title role of his play, *‘The Phenix.” This drama has been seen in San Fran- cisco on more than one occasion, but the fact that twenty years have elapsed since Nobles wrote it, d that he h: week at Grover’s Alcazar. | 3934 80 at he has been playing Jt continuously ever since, is a proof of its drawing powers. _The story of ““Fhe Phonix” is sensa- tional to a certain extent, but the villain is not of too deep a dye and the incidents are not extravagantly lurid, except the fire scene, and the artists are labori g to make that as realistic as possinle, Nobles has played the title role so long that it fits him like a glove. He will be supported by a large cast, which includes almost the en- tire company of the Grand. Grover’s Alcazar. To-morrow night will see the first per- formance by Grover’s company of the humorous comedy ‘Confusion,” which has always proved a source of laughter whenever it has been produced. New scenery is being prepared and the cast will include: Leonard Grover Jr., Messrs. Hoyte, Lothian, Powers and Gamble, Miss Jennie Kennark, Miss Gracie Plaisted and Mrs. Fanny Young. The story is fairly familiar to most theater-goers. Rose Mumpleford desires a et and commissions her uncle to secure or her a pug dog. James and Marie; the servants of the family, have been secretly married and their child has been placed out at nurse. Circumstances oblige the sending of the baby to its mother and it arrives by the train which carries the pu, dog. The dog and baby are mixed up an the most ridiculous situations occur through the mistakes. The supposed in- sanity of Mumpleford leads to additional complications. Tivoli Opera-House. The season of grand Italian opera at the Tivoli is rapidly drawing to a close. Verdi’s favorite opera, “Il Trovatore,” will be sung this week, with every atten- tion to detail in the way of production. Ida Valerga, Laura Millard, Mabella Baker, Alice Carle—who will reappear after an absence of four weeks in the East—Martin Pache, Arthur Messmer, John J. Raffael, George H. Broderick, Edward Torpi, G. Napoleoni and Irene Mull will all appear in_the various roles during the week. ‘‘Cavalleria Rusticana,” Mascagni’s celebrated one-act opera, pre- ceded by Offenbach’s ““Marriage by Lan- terns,” will follow. At the Orpheum. Five new people are billed for the Orpheum this week. They are the Gotham City quartet and Memphis Kennedy. The quartet is composed of H. E. Fairbanks, Edward A. Lang, George R. Brenner and T. H. Humphreys. Their business is said to be of a novel character, possessing humorous, as well as artistic characteris- tics. They sing quartets and solos, warble and eive imitations of various artificial sounds. These people have high recom- mendations from the East and come direct to the Orpheum from Madison-square Gar- den, New York City. Memphis Kennedy is a well-known musical comedian, whose reputation for originality and musical ability stands high among the single-turn artists. The Schrode brothers, John Higgins, Fialkowski, Haines and Pettingill and others are retainel People’s Theater. Manager George L. Clayton of the People’s Theater on Howard street, near Third, has engaged a company of capable | actors, including such well-known people as James M. Ward, W. L. Gleason, Darrell Vinton, W. C. Belasco and Miss Margaret Reid. He states that he will give only the best of melodramas. In addition to this, he has engaged vaudeviile stars to fill in the time between acts, and will thus give two shows in the time usually occupied | ‘W. H.

The theater opened last night with Dion Boucicault’s melodrama, ‘‘After Dark,” of which notice will be found in another | column. The same bill will be given throughout the week. Debutants at the Columbia. The School of Dramatic Arts gives its first public performance at the Columbia Theater to-night. There are already over fifty students in the school, which was established last Angust, and several have already made their debut on‘the profes- sional stage. The plays to be performed are: Mer- sham Rae’s “A Fair Encounter,” “The Setting of the Sun,” by Charles Hannan, and “False Pretensions,” a comedy adapted from the French by Horace W. Fuller. At the California. “The War of Wealth,”” which follows | ““Charley’s Aunt” at the California, was only produced last season, and is said to matic work. Drury Lane Theater. There was every indication, on the open- ing night of the autumn season at the National Theater, that the new drama by Sir Augustus Harris and histwo colleagues, Cecil Raleigh and Henry Hamilton, would | be numbered among the great successes of | the present theatrical year. It was almost | a foregone conclusion that it would be | received with great approval when it was | mgde known that it would appeal directly | to the patriotic sentiments of the public, | and would be mounted on a scale of mag- nificence unusual even at Drury Lane, where no expense and no pains-are ever spared to secure effect. But a storm of ap- plause and enthusiasm broke over the new play on its production that could never have been anticipated. Sir Augustus Har- ris and his collaborators haye set forth not only an interesting story, but they have also struck a chord that will appeal 1o | every Englishman’s heart. Told in detail, the =tory, from which the authors of the new play have evolved strikingly effective incidents, may not sound particularly novel; but if it is not so, it is thoroughly dramatic, and has been told in a most thril- ling and attractive manner. “Cheer, Boys, Cheer” is professedly a society story, where- m_c_omeny- romoting and patriotism are utilized to give it deeper color. To the brave and chivalrous but elderly Marquis of Chepstow has been affianced Lady Hil- yard's young ward, Blanche Lindsay, who evidently does not believe the age of love to be middle age, and therefore gives her heart to young George Hilyard, although she remains the fiancee of the marqui! Meantime Blanche has managed to get her financial affairs into a muddle, and in order, as she hopes, to retrieve her for- tunes she avails herself of the help'of the villain of the piece, Reginald FitzDavis, who, with Wolff Meikstein, floats a_com- pany for the working of a supposed South African mine. It being to the interest of Lady Ughtred Kesteven, Lord Chepstow’s sister, that he should die without heirs she plots with FitzDavis to com- promise Blanche so that the marquis may break off his_engagement, and it is when scandal is thus made to hurtle round Blanche’s innocent head, and the hollow- ness of society is forced upon Lady Hil- vard by the treatment to which she and er ward are subjected through the plot of FitzDavis and Lady Ughtree, that the two ladies go to South Africa. Here, of course, for various reasons come all the other characters. FitzDavis and the Jew are after the mine, Lord Chepstow has volun- teered to fight against the Matabeles, and George Hilyard, having previously chas- tised FitzDavis coram populo in Hyde Park, has found it convenient to leave for South Africa. To the scene where the blacks open attack on the littie company, led by Lord Chepstow, everything most skillfully leads; and then occurs the great incident of the play, the presentation, in fact, upon the stage of the memorabie Wil- son episode. It is all splendidly dra matic, and when the gallant Englishmen stand | hand-in-hand to sing the national an- them, as the shots of the blacks rain thickly on them, it is not only from pit and gallery, but equally from stalls add private boxes, that the outbursts of genuine enthusiasm ring through the house. We can certainly ill afford to sneer at melo- drama when it depicts for us the heroism and devotion to duty of Englishmen in so vivid and impressive a manner as this, and perhaps it is not too much to say that such aplay as that now to be seen at Drury Lane is of ypositive vaiue, as setting at- tractively before the British youth the high standard of duty and courage which Eng- land expects of her sons. But there i3 something more than gunpowder and glory in thisnew drama; it is, in fact, one of tne most varied of the long and excel- lent series of autumn plays presented by Sir Augustus Marris, for it forcibly illustrates in ° necessarily high colors some phases of city life, and de- picts in equally ‘'vivid tones so- ciety’y little ways. The Hurlingham scene, wherein real polo ponies are intro- duced, is admirable, but even more faith- fully copied is the picture of the Row dur- ing the height of the London season. One may almost fancy one hears the roar of the traffic at Hyde Park corner, and as to the reality of the beautiful toilets worn by the supposed promenaders in the park there is no doubt whatever. An unusually powerful company lends additional attractiveness to this fine pro- duction.—London Queen THE WRIT WAS GRANTED, Merced’s Superior Court Has| No Jurisdiction in the | Bank Case. Further Proceedings In the Litiga- tlon Stopped by the State Supreme Court. Bank Commissioners Kilburn, Fuller and McGee, who have been cited to appear before Judge Law of Merced on the 15th inst., and show cause why they should not be deprived of their office for alleged neglect of duty, will now escape that try- ing ordeal, or for a time at least, through one of the many technicalities of the law. Through their aitorney, A. B. Carpenter, & petition and brief citing authorities were presented to the Supreme Court yesterday, asking that an alternative writ of prohibi- tion, requiring Judge Law of Merced to discontinue proceedings in the case up to November 3, and on that day to appear and show cause why he should not be absolutely restrained from further pro- ceeding in the case. Aftera brief delibera- tion the court granted the writ, which takes effect immediately, and on November 3 the legal questions involved in the case will be reviewed by the Supreme Court and a decision rendered accordingly. “The granting of the writ was not a mat- ter of right, or, of course,” said Attorney Carpenter, speaking about the matter yes- terday, “‘but on a prima facie showing it must be granted to entitle the parties mak- ing the petition to a fair hearing in the case against them. “The only allegation contained in the complaint of the plaintiff is that the Com- missioners had a knowledge of the un- nd or insolvent condition of the Merced and the complaint does not state or where they acquired such or how or when they were s of not notifying the Attorney-Gen- eral of such insolvency in writing. Upon the accusation, Judge A. K. Law of Merced n order citing the Commissioners beiore him on the 15th inst. and T to the charges of W. N. Sherman, wlo appears as the plaintiff in the case, accusing the Commissioners of willful ect of duty. *The charge against the Commissioners,¥ continued Mr. Carpenter, “is a criminal and, as they allege, it comes under chapter 2, of the Penal Code of “The gist of that code is: ‘When an accusation in writing, verified by the oath of any person,'is brought against a public cofficial for refusing or neglecting to per- form the official duties pertaining to his ofiice and he is found guilty he can be removed from office and a fine of $500 can imposed in favor of the informer.’ “Icontend,” said Mr, Carpenter, “that tection 772, chapter 2, of the Penal Code is the Bank Commissioners are State officers they are not amenable to the provisions of section 772, but are governed by the Bank Commissioners act of March 1, 1872. “If on November 3 the Supreme Court decides that Judge Law of Merced has no jurisdiction bhe will be gerpemally restrained from further proceeding in the case, and if that takes place it will be difficult to say at present what other manner of proceeding will be taken in the case.” Creditors Take Action. Creditors have petitioned the Superior Court to force A. M. Thomas into insolvency. Thomas owes $896. Wheaton, Breon & Co. and the William Cluff Company are the principal | creditors. ———————— Napoleon ate with his knif ook at This!
