THE SAN FRANCISCO 1895. 21 = DE WOLF HCUPPER AS WANG AT THE BALDWIN. A caustic critic in the Middle West, d cussing Hoyt's “A Contented Woman,” | wrote that in order to enjoy it a man must | leave his brains at home. Charles Hoyt's | eyes chanced to stray across these lines, his | sense of dignity was offended at the slur } contained, and, with true Hoytian humor, he wrote to the critic congratula- ting him upon the evidences his article showed that he had followed his own ad- vice. ‘ The gifted Hovt has been known to in- | dulge in like ! nine ebulliti of wit on even less provocation, so that his retort, courteous to the offending critic, was not necessarily an evidence that he meant ¢ Contented Woman'’ to be taken The play is an amusing conc but there i ) theme, and the day for heaping women who find the ballo t enough, new in its tire upon | -box a hot | thing to bandle has gone by. Strong- | minded clamorers for female rights | of the Aunt Jim variety have been trotted | out on the stage so oiten that they nu\'e!‘ become a weariness to the flesh, and as for | the young wife, who is goaded by her hus- | band’s coldness and ill-doing to strike A | | | | Edna Wallace Hopper in “Wang” at the Baldwin. out into the paths of the new woman, and finding the way of emancipation thorny, returns chastened to Ler spouse’s side again—that young woman has been done to death in modern comedy. s th sp But if “A Contented Woman’ has ap- | peared on the scene too late to be appre- ciated as a satire, it still has the merit of being entertaining, without buffoonery, which is more than can be said of some of Hoyv's later works. The title-role also | affords some good opportunities, which are taken every advantage of by that clever and unassuming actress, Caroline Miskel Hoyt. ! Baldwin Theater. De Wolf Hopper and his comic opera | company commence a four weeks' en- | gagement at the Baldwin Theater to-mor- | row night. are “Wang” and “Dr. Sint To-morrow will be De Wolf Hopper's The works they will prodace Belle Bucklin with *“ The War of Wealth ” at the Celiforaia. first apjuenrancv in San Francisco. His wife, Edna Wallace Hopper, who accom- panies him, 1s well known' in this City. Her work as the Crown Prince in “Wang” is said to be excellent. The plot o Vang’’ is hased on a series of humorous incidents, which are sup- posed to occur in the kingdom of Sian At the opening of the story the empire is under the regency of Wang, whoisin a state of financial destitution. The regent is uncle and guardian of Mataya, the Crown Prince, not yet of age, but already in love and not particularly amenable to his uncle’s rule. Wang fries to obtain possession of a certain chest containing jewels, bullion and other valuables left the Crown Prince by his father. This chest is in the possession of a French widow, who is the mother of twelve daughters. Find- ing all other means useless to the attain- ment of his ends, Wang marries the widow Colonel Jack Haverly. and assumes the care of the mother and her numerous progeny. The Crown Prince finally div his uncle from the widow. Some of the other principa!s of the organization are: Bertha Waltzinger, Alice Hosmer, Ida Lister, Alired Klein, Thomas 8. Guise, Edmund Stanley, John Parr and Augustus Coletti, as well as Harry P. Stone, Leonie Deuth. Louis Shrader and others, including the three little children who sing the ‘‘Doll Chorus™ in “Wang.” California Theater. “The War of Wealth,” which will re- ceive its first San Francisco production at the California Theater to-morrow night, is said to be an unusvally fine production. It is the work of T. C. Dazey, a playwright whose dramas have attracted a good deal of attention in the East lately. The story of “The War of Wealth” is dramatic, and is told with simple direct- ness. The hero is a banker, most of whose life has been spent in the West. At the opening of ihe play he is the head of a great banking institution in New York, the managing factor in whick 1s the junior partner, in whom unlimited confidence is reposed. Speculation playsan Important part in the development of the story, and in time 1t accomplishes the ruin of the junior partner, who deliberately plots the downfall of the bank, which is shown with a crowd of angry depositors clamoring for their money. The schemes of the junior partuer are foiled in time to save the insti- tution, however. There are several sub-plots in *The War of Wealth,” and it is said that the play will be presented by a company capabie of doing the work full justice. Columbia Theater. J. H. Haverly’s Minstrels begin a lim- ited engagement at the Columbia Theater this afternoon. The company includes some of the best-known -artists in the minstrel line. Among them are Billy Rice, Bert Shepard, E. M. Kayne, Charles Ernest, the monologue artist; Siegrist and Higgins, who do the trapeze act and burlesque; Dave Montgomery. Bert Norris, Albert Hawthorne, Georgze Castle, W. H. Holbrook, Frank M. Kelly nd fifty others. rank W. Kelly, a member of the “City Guard,” B Company, First Regiment of Infantry, will make ' his first public ap- pearance with the minstrels this after- noon. The armory boys are preparing to e him a grand rally, and the committee appointed to conduct the ovation has bought up a number of the seats at the Columbia. Grand Opera-House. One of the best modern melodramas “Meney Mad,” will be produced at the Grand to-morrow night. The work is by the late Steele Mackaye, author of 1 Xirke,” “Won at Last,” etc. The scene of “Money Mad” is Chicago, where the author found a good deal of new ting material. As its title the motive of the story is the ailing hunger for gold. Many varied of modern American life are repre- sented, though the leading characters are supposed to belong to the Four Hundred. Like all the author's plays ‘“Money Mad’’ calls for elaborate mounting, and extensive | preparations are telng made at Morosco’s. A feature of the production will be a miniature of the Clark-street briage. Grover’s Alcazar. Grover's adaptation of that favorite com- edy, “Tle Private Secretary,” wiil be pre- sented at the Alcazar to-morrow night, supplemented by a curtain-raiser entitled, “The Gpen Gate.” Every one knows that “The Private Sec- retary” is brimfull of fun, and the Grovers, senior ard junior, played the parts of Mr. Cattermc le and Robert Spaulding, respect- ively, 50 fong for Palmer’s Madizon Square Theater that the parts have become some of the easiest in their large repertoire. Hoyte will play Douglas and Lothian Harry. the '}‘nilnr, will be presented by Lewellyr. Mrs. Young will do justice to the lodging-house keeper, and the merry Leonard Grover Jr. as the Private Secretary at the Alcazar. maidens will find interpreters in Nellie Young and Lillian Clayes. “The Open Gate” tells the story of two lovers separated through a misunderstand- ing and the determination of the lady to keep the gate open for the return of the absent one. Years have passed, both have grown old and gray, but the gate is still kept open. The play ends with a touching reconciliation. At the Tivoll, Offenbach’s opera, ‘‘Madame Favart,” is doing so well at the Tivoli that it has been decided to continue it for another week. Several new songs and much new business will, however, be introduced to-morrow night. On Monday, the 18th inst.. Bizet's ro- mantic opera, ‘‘Carmen,” will be revived, with Emilie Melville and Alice Carle alter- nating in the title-roles. Martin Pache will play Don Jose and John J.
