THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1895. The dramatic sensation of the week will | be the appearance, for the first time or any stage, of that blonde and ingeni sprig of the British aristocracy, George Sholto Dougias, fourth son of the Murquis of Queensberry. The young man’s resolu- tion to become a “play actor’’ is only an- ofher instance of the fact that the mild and beneficial climate of California is pecu- | liarly adapted to fostering and developing dramatic instincts. California actresses | are renowned, from the Pacific to the | Atlantic. California actors are becoming | a power in the land, and George Sholto Douglas, after a brief experience of Cali- | fornia life, finds that he has received enough free advertising in the State to | 0 i “THE BURGLAR] //5? /r‘d I toyal Highness.” it would be cruel for George Sholto Douglas to be shorn of his | courtesy appeliation of “Lord.” Baldwin Theater. ; L. ) Y/ / Such being the case, the Honorable The fourth and last week of De Wolf Theater. *Dr. Syntax’ will hold [ Hopper and lis merry comedians com- | mences to-morrow evening at the Baldwin the boards till Thursday, when “Wang"” will take its place.

Grover's Alcazar. “The Governor' will be revived again at Grover's Alcazar to-morrow night, with | the added attraction of Lord and Lady i Sholto Douglas in the cast. This will | be the first appearance on any stage of Lord Sholto, ana his friends will no doubt be anxious to see what his his- trionic abilities are. Lady Sholto Doug- las will introduce specialties in the way of songs and dances into her role. | The usual matinees will occur on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. At the “Wednesday pop’’ matinee popular books will be présented and icecream and cake served. e literary matinees are proving a succe. ir,”” Toby Rosen- Perrault; *‘The b Grand Opera-House. The coming attraction at the Grand Opera-house is Augustus Thomas’ clever drama, “The Burglar,”” which, when origi- nally produced at the Madison - square Theater, New York, bad a remarkable run and has since duplicated its success in other cities in America. The title role is to be played by Eugene Moore, ayoung | actor who has won quite a reputa- | tion by his impersonation. in “The E Burglar.” Another important place in the cast will be filled by the original inter- preter, little Gertie Carlisie, who has been winning many friends during the past week by her work in Roger La Honte. The i remaining characters in the cast will be | taken by members of the stock company. Tivoli Opera-House. Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Mikado” will be produced at the Tivoli Opera-house to- morrow evening. John J. Raffael will play the title role, Martin Pache will be Nanki Poo and Ferris Hartman Ko-Ko. Laura Millard is to appear as Yum-Yum and Emelie Melville as Pitti-Sing. After “The Mikado” Millocker’s roman- tic opera, “The Beggar Student,” will be heard, with Martin Pache in the title role Alcazar, with every anticipation of mak- ing money out of the venture. From the peer’s agent’s point of view there is a good deal in a name. Sholto | Douglas’ ancestors first got their name prominently before the public in the reign of Henry IV of England, when their fierce border warfare and subsequent reconcilia- tion with the Percys gave rise to a good deal of the political trouble thatled Henry to say *‘Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.”’ That was before America was discovered or thought of. No one can deny that Sholto Douglas belongs to a celebrated family, but he is a lord only by courtesy. There are several titles in the Queensberry family, and the eldest son assumes that of Vis- count Drumlanrig during the lifetime of his father, the Marquis. Francis Archi- bald, the eldest scion of the house of Queensberry, is now Viscount Drumlanrig. and is consequently a lord in his own right. His brother, George Snolto, the fourth son of the present Marquis, will not inherit any title unless his elder broth- ers die childless. His correct appellation is “The Honorable Sholto Douglas,’’ and his wife is the Honorable Mrs. Sholto Douglas. But Americans consider life too short to worry over these delicate little questions of primogeniture, They are generous when it comes to bestowing titles. Onty the other day a writer in one of Harper’s publications alluded o a simple baronet all through the course of aromance as *‘his Lordship,” and enthusiastic corro- ichard Harlow. Miss Bonehill is said to have identified herself with her roles of Chappie and Swipds the newsboy, and Richard Harlow dons feminine robes in 1492.” Heis said to eschew buffoonery, and to elevate his style of impersonation to something very like genuine comedy. A feature of the coming production will be the presentation, for the first time in this City, of the original Kilanyi living Eiclures, in_which models from London, aris and Vienna will pose. California Theater. Herrmann’s last week at the California Theater commences to-morrow night. It is stated that his present engagement will be the last in this City for some years, as he intends to make an extended tour of the world. Herrmann 'will continue this week to give bis hypnotic illusion “Trilby’ and his aquatic my: ‘The Spray of Life,” in which living pictures are pre- sented with the aid of a prismatic fountain. Rotert Downing, who commences his engagement at the California Theater on the 9th inst., will present several of his repertoire F[Iays as well as his Jatest pro- duction, “‘Helena,” a romantic drama of the fourteenth century, by Victorien Sardou. Columbia Theater. Joe Cawthorn will produce his new comedy, *“A Fool for Luck,” at the Colum- bia Theater to-morrow night. The play tells a story of New York life on the east side. It was written for Cawthorn by and Laura Millard as the Countess Laura. | These artists have appeared successfully in the 1oles over 4 thousand times with | the Casino and Conried companies. Great preparations are being made to present a tragic rlny in six scenes entitled “The Story of Rodin, the Student.” Robert Downing will take 8 company of American actors to Athens next year while the Olympic games are in progress and produce ‘“The Wife of Militus,” a Greek tragedy, written by T.T. Timay- anis, professor of Greek at Harvard and the author of “The Original Mr. Jacobs.” While the Bostonians were in Kansag City recently Jessie Bartlett Davis became interested in a young soprano of that place named Mattie Archer, and signed a cone tract with her parents, by the terms of which Mrs. Davis is to pay for the girl's musical education for a year, after which sbe will place her with the Bostonians. The girl will aiso_drop her name and as- sume that of Louise Davis. Italian Philbarmonic. The Italian Philharmonic Society, G. Verdi, will give a performance of Doni- zetti’s “Lucia di Lammermoor” at the Baldwin Theater to-night in aid of the Italian free school. Signorina Carolina Beschieri, who recently returned from a successful tour of Mexico, will sing the title role. ‘he cast will also contain D. A. Hodghead, Sig. Tanizza and D. Valerga. ‘The chorus is a large and well-trained one. A. Spadina will direct the orchestra. Carr-Beel Concert. I The forty-eighth Carr-Beel Saturday pop will take place next Saturday after- noon in Golden Gate Hall. The pro- gramme will consist almost entirely of novelties, chief among them being Svend- sen's octet for string. A charming suite for two ‘cellos, by Popper,will be played by Messrs. Heine and Gutterson. Mrs. Ernest H. Palmer will be the vocalist, and | among other things she will sing Bem- | berg’s dramatic song, “Jeanue d’Arc.”’ DAILEY WAS BRAVE, ‘What the Comedian Thought of Train- Robbers. Nantucket is a queer place. At least, so Peter . Dailey thinks. Charles J. Rich had a cottage there, and Dailey visited him for a business conference during the summer. “Nantucket is all right,”” said Mr. Dailey the other night, “but 1 get shocks enough in the world without zoing to the end of civilization to get new ones.

Marsden Manson Speaks of the Circu- lation of the Atmosphere of Planets. Professor W. J. Hussey of Stanford ad- dressed the Astronomical Society of the Pacific in the lecture-room of the Academy of Sciences last evening upon *“The New Terresrtial Element, Helium.” “Somewhat more than a year ago,” he said, *‘Lord Raleigh and Professor Ram- say were making experiments as to the density of nitrogen. They obtained nitro- gen from the atmosphere and from min- erals. They found that the nitrogen ob tained in this manner varied in density a half of 1 per cent. This led them to in- vestigate the cause. The result was that | they discovered a new gas in the atmos- phere, comprising about 1 per cent. This gas was extracted and it was discovered to be very inert, that is, it would not readily unite with other gases. 1t was also found to be monatomic, or having but one atom to a molecule. ‘‘Specimens of the new gas were placed in vacuum vats. The vats were illumin- ated by passing electric currents through and again. Sometimes they run off the track: sometimes they don’t, but the some- times they do is a long shot. “I took the tramn for Siasconset, and when we were going at the English break- ing-record of four miles a month the train suddenly stopped. Visions of u hold-up flasned through my mind and I felt like concealing my watch and fortune in my boot, but I realized that a pair of decol- lette shoes would not hold them, so I re- NEW TO-DAY.

Itwasfound that an electric cur- rentof one intensity gave a red light, while of another intensity the light wn; blue. This, however, was not an unhear of thing and did not conclusively prove the new gas to be a new element. On ac- count of the inertness of this gas it was called argon and a single A was used to denote it. +A sample of the gas was senttoa high authority upon the critical temperature and pressure of so-called permanent gases. It was found to have a differe:ice of only five degrees between its meltin, point and its boiling point, although bot were at a very low degree. “Professor Ramsay also searched for argon in minerals. In his researches he found helium. To astronomers this gas has been known for vears; to chemists it has only been known durinz the last year. Astronomers long ago discovcred'the‘})res- ence of this gas in the sun, and it will be vastly important to them that it has been found on the earth, as its nature and prop- erties can now be investigated.” Marsden Manson, C. E., read a paper entitled “The Circulation of the Atmos- phere of Planets.” It was an elaborate aad carefully prepared thesis, which he illustrated by a number of diagrams. At its conclusion a general discussion was in- dulged in by the members of the society. MEETINGS OF THE DOGS. Field Trials at Bakersfield and Coursing at Merced. Sportsmen who own valuable dogs, such as pointers and setters, are becoming anx- ious about the field trials which are to be held near Bakersfield. It is said that en- tries for the all-aged stake are being re- ceived by the secretary in good numbers. Those who have failed to make théir en- tries will remember that only a few days remain open, as on Monday next the en- tries will close. The nominations for the Interstate Coursing meeting, which wiil be held near Merced, will close on Friday evening, December 6. The recent rain has done valuable service in making soft the ground which the dogs will run over. Everything points to a most successful meeting this year. From all accounts famous dogs that will represent several of the principal cities in the State wiil race at this meet- ing, which is always looked forward to by leashmen as the star meeting of the sea- son. D S— Garfleld’s First Employer. Edward H. Viers, a prosperous farmer, who lives near Akron, claims to be the man who gave James A. Garfield his first work on the canal. He says: “We were pulling through Ravenna when I was ac- costed by a boy who carried a bundle under his arm. Tt was Garfieid, and in the bundle were what clothes he did not have on his back. He wanted a job. I needed a driver, and he went with me to Cleve- land. That was the first stroke of work Garfield ever did on the towpath.” Viers says the first political speeches Garfield made were from the back of ‘‘Old Prince,” a canal horse known along the entire line.—Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch.
