The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, April 12, 1896, Page 22

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, APRIL 12, 1896. HE word “New" has been so much abused lately that one has come to look upon it with distrust and suspicion—the New woman is always with us, we have seen the New problem play, and even the New man is forging to the front, but the New gctor has for a long time been conspicuous | by his absence. We have had this season quite a succession of gentlemen who have reached the meridian of life, and whose acting of the legitimate, if a little anti- quated in its methods, is not to be smiffed st. But the end of the century acting— the art that conceals a rt—we have not had. Richard Mansfield is a new actor; he has his traducers in common with everything else new, but his devotion to art is great and no doubt consoles him for being fre- quently misunderstood. As an instance of this devotion, the New York papers have stated that Mansfield bas already mort- gaged the whole proceeds of his Pacific Coast tour in ordertospenditon the lavish production of a new play, the sum quoted being $75,000. This is devotion with a ven- geance, for with most a s the pocket is a tenderer point than the heart. You may say that Mansfield is lacking in business foresight, but people said the same of Sir Henry Irving once. That idol of the Brit- ish public—before he was an idol—came very near financial shipwreck while trying to convince his audiences that he xnew more about the stage than they did. Since the time of Booth, Mansfield is the only American acter who has played on Henry Irving’s stage, the London Lyceum, and in spite of a few carping critics has won the respectful consideration of the British press and public alike Distingmished foreigners say that one of the first questions asked them on landing in this country is, “How do yon ” They eomment on this asa peculiar the American nation, but the guestion is really a very natural one, considering that many of the distinguished foreigners come here notebook in hand, resolved, sooner or later, to give the American people ‘“‘a piece of their minds.” Distinguished opera sing- ers, fiddlers, pianists and actors are gener- ally enticed here in quest of the ereat American dol They are too busy cap- turing it to waste time on notebooks, but in their leisure moments even these dis- tinguished visitors have been showing a tendency lately to break into print, and | give startling and gratuitous pieces of their minds about America and its people —to say, in fact, the sort of things that if they were uttered in England, France, Italy, or almost any other country, wounld cause the inhabitants to send the utterers thereof to Coventry for the rest of their natural lives. But the Americans, 1i charity, suffer long and are kind where foreign singers, pianists and actors are con- cerned. On political grounds they are ever ready to twist the British lion’s tail or tweak the King of Spain’s nose, but in the domain of art the foreign invaders have discovered loag ere this that, when smitten, the Americans turn the other cheek. There is Paderewski, for mstance. How we have loved him and worshiped at his shrine. And this is what his friend and mouthpiece, Hugo Goerlitz, remarks frankly, for publication in a Cincinnati newsp aper, as he is getting ready to shake the dust of America off his feet and depart for Europe with his pockets full of money : ““The whole press of America is rotten. America is rotten to the core. We only come here to make money, and we make it. We don’t care how much abuse we get from America. We do not give a —— for the American press. Mr. Paderewski has never read a line in the newspapers, books or magazines published here.’’ “‘And is this the hend ?” as Miss Squeers would have asked, tearfully. Is thisthe hend of all our love and devotion? Have our bouquets, our applause, aye, and our tears, brought us nothing but this? It is a plain case of love’s labor lost. We are now confronted by the prob- lem, How shall we be able to please Ele- nora Duse when she comes? Her ways are as inscrutable as those of Hugo Goerlitz, and in our blundering good-natured way we may nauseate ber with our flowers, or applaud too lavishly, and so fail to pro- pitiate her. Chicago has offended Duse. In some mysterious way it hurt her feel- ings, and she said she would not play in its yard any more. After much persuasion she consented to reconsiaer her decision. And what has Cbicago done? It has made a record for itself by preferring in- dependence to art. Duse’s box-oflice has been left severely alone, and even in New York, where the public is used to the con- tumely of foreign artists, the Press dares to say approvingly : “While publicly reproving Chicago we continue to admire it secretly. That isa city of spunk, independence and spirit. When Duse arrived in this country she declared her contempt for America in general and Chicago in particular. We thought nothing of her uncivil greeting, for this city is used to such things. Chi- cago lay low and said nothing. But when Mr. Miner finally persuaded his star to re- consider her determination never to visit Chicago again our neighbors in the West had an opportunity to give the actress tit for tat.” Being a two weeks’ stand cuts San Fran- cisco off from one of the joys of theater- going—we get none of those sterling silver souvenirs which are being given away with theater tickets in New York, almost as freely as presents with pounds of tea. Bells, inkstands, pen-holders, eve: im- aginable device, “‘all in sterling silver,” are continnally being donaied to celebrate the fiftieth and one hundredth representa- tions, so that if the New York play-goer times his visits to the various theaters carefully he can always add to his stock of souvenirs. The women of the enlizhtened ‘West, though, would never have brooked | | i the new attractions promised at the Orphenm for the current week. The hold- overs are Rosie Rendel, whose dancing has been admired, La Bella Carmen, who does a gracefvl and clever fifiht-wire act, Elena Leita, the *‘singing doll,” Adonis Ames, Segommer, the Nawns, Bruet and Riviere and the Marvelles. On Bunday next the whole company will go to Los Angeles to make room for the Hopkinsg' Trans-Oceanic Star Specialty Company, which comes all the way from New York in its entirety without making a stand on the way. The Trans-Oceanics —_—— | the leap year souvenirs which were given | away the other day with ‘A Black Sheep.” | | They were penknives, and only men re- | | ceived them. Not a lady—not even a new | woman—got one, unless her escort saw fit | to give her his. | Baldwin Theater. Richard Manstield is generally looked | npon, both at home and abroad, as the | representative American actor, and his | appearance at the Baldwin Theater to- | morrow night will, no doubt, p.ove one of | | the most interesting events of the present | theatrical season. | “Beau Brummell” will be the openine | performance. Mansfield has appeared | here before in the eccentric, pathetic role of the Bean, whose life is one long striving after *‘good form,” pbut his characterz tion is one of snch delicacy and finish that it will bear seeing a second or even a third | time. This year Mansfield'sassociates are com- posed of his New York Garrick Theater Stock Company, the leading member be- | | ing Miss Beatrice Cameron. The company also includes Eleanor Carey, Jennie Eus- | | tace, Johnstone Bennett. Nora Lamison, | | Grace Gaylor, Charlotte Walker, Harriette | von Ganahl, May Lavine, D. H. Harkmn E. D. Lvons, Orrin Johnson, A. G. A drews, W. N. Griftith, Louis Dutton and Herbert Passmore. | “Bean Brummell” will hold the boards | for the first week of the engagement. For the second week Mansfield will pre- sent on Monday and Tuesday nights *“The | Story of Rodian _the Studen:,’” Wednes- | day, Thursday and Friday evenings and at | the Saturday matinee “Prince Karl”’ and | California Theater. 1 “The Night Clerk’” commences the sec- | ond and last week of its engagement at | the California Theater to-morrow night. Peter Dailey’s interpretation of the title | | role drew large houses last week, and a | number of songs sung by various mem- yarnvlflurlv Jennie Yeaman's “The Girl ‘rom Gay Paree.” Roland Reed follows the Dailey Com- pany at the California. He and his com- pany will present for the first time in this City the comedy by the late David D. Lloyd and Sydney Rosenfeld entitled “The Politician, or The Womuan’s Plank It is a political satire which gives Rees and the members of his organization op- portunities to raise hearty laughter. Mr Reed’s company includes Isadore Rush, who will appear in her latest successful role of the original twentieth century Myers, Will R. Bernard, Charles Wyngate, Sheridan Reed and James Douglass.

Miss Edith Kingsley, who comes with Ezra Kendall, is known as a ballad- singer and a composer of popular songs. She made quite a hit in Cincinnatiand Cleveland with her song “‘Down on the Ohio.” Grand Opera-House. Jules Verne’s story, “Michael Strogoff,” is the attraction announced for the com- ing week at the Grand. Itisa play that has !reqluently been presented in this City before, but the coming production is to be made unusually spectacular, and the strengthened company will no doubt add considerably to the attractions of the per- formance. The scene painters have been bard at work for some weeks preparing for the production, particularly for the scene at the imperial palace, Moscow, and the des- ert pictures in Siberia. A number of su- pernumeraries have been engaged to plement the house’scompany. The leading roles are to be played by Darrel! Vinton and Lisle Leigh. Tivoll Opera-House. The oriental spectacular burlesque ‘Blue Beard” will be continued at the Tivoli until further notice. The cast includes Ferris Hartman as Ibrahim; Carrie Roma as his scolding wife, Morgiana; W. H. West as their elder danghter, the famous Sister Anne of the story; Fannie Liddiard as Selim and John J. Raffael as Blue Beard. The other parts are played by Kate Marchi, Thomas C. Leary, Anna Schnabel, Fred Kavanagh, Ray Lynwood and Hannah Davis. Features of the produe- Vercellessi and Sig. de Fiilippi, and the specialties of Irene Cook, Gilbert and oldie. A second edition of “Blue Beard’’ is in reparation, with new songs, dances and allets. Some of Chevalier's coster songs will be substituted for the negro airs, After the run of “Blue Beard’ a pro- duction of Dellinger's romantic opera ‘*Lorraine” will be beard for the first time in this City, to_be followed by an operatic revival of Harriet Beecher Stowe's “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” At the Ol‘ph_euln.

MODJESKA IS HOPEFUL. | She Still Hopes to Return to the Stage. Apropos of the report that Mme. Mod- jeska has been struck by paralysis, the New York Herald says: “Though nearly twenty years have elapsed since Mme. Modjeska firstappeared | here many of us remember that event as | if it had happened yesterday. It wasof a | Saturday night in December. On the | afternoon of the same day and at the same | play house—the Fifth-avenue Theater— | Mary Andersen terminated her firsc New | Yorkengagementin ‘The Lady of Lyons.’ | Our own Mary was a thing of beauty even | in those early days, but not a joy forever. | She loved to make the welkin ring, and she used to stumble over her train like Boulottte in ‘Barbe Bleue.’ Pauline, in spite of much rhodomontade, can anda sbould be played quite naturally. Miss Anderson brought to the part a beautiful, majestic personality, and ail the tricksand | artifices of the old tragedy queens. The | people liked this manner. “When in the evening, then, a strange | woman, without any great reputation out- | side of her own country, came before us, and with the utmost simplicity enacted what has always been considered a tragic role, neither the public nor the critics knew what to make of it. Was she a great actress, this distinguished looking foreign- er, who had eyes that were dark as night and soft as violets, a Chopinesque voice and a gait that made you think of Byron's to perform several remarkable fea lines, ‘SBhe Walks in Beauty’ ? “Too weak, thought the experts, after — JONNICYEAMANS v Peren Dm!z Arine | Grover's Alenzar. | | power of | Valentine Printing Ci the Lafontaine fable, and the midnight encounter with the Princess de Bouillon— for the play was ‘Adrienne Lecouvreur.’ Too weak, eh? During the whole last act the spectators held their breath, so strong was the nervous tension. And from that night on the Polish artist’s reputation was firmly established here, as in her native Poland. The women marveled at her grace, the men at her intellectuality. She was the first naturalistic actress that bad come to us from abroad. As Camille a fortnight later she became the rage. The, ladies raved over her while ‘trying on' at the dressmaker’s; the men over their brandy and soda 'at the clubs. But she wanted to play Shakespeare—Juliet, Rosalind, Viola, Isabelle, Beatrice. ‘How can she dream of such a thing with that foreign accent of hers!’ observed the wise- acres, shrugging their shoulders know- ingly. And she not only did play them, for her will power was enormous, but posi- tively recreated some of these characters. Rosalind, for instance, is dressed and acted by our younger sctresses nowadays as Modjeska first played and dressed the part. Her versatility was remarkable, her imaginativeness nearly boundless. What | a wonderful Odette she was, and again what a furor she made when she a) vpenrefl as Ophelia the night of the great Wallack benefit at the Metropolitan Opera-house. It is ineffably sad to think that a woman whose grace seemed indestructible should be stricken down by o of the most dreaded of all disease: 3 T leftarm, T am told, has become ‘quite use- less. The actress horself 13 hopeful and looks upon her visitation as only a tem- porary ailment. Sbould she be able to re- sume her calling, that wonderful wiil hers will have as much todo with it as the electricians.” Bloomers Did It. When it was announced a few months ago that Miss Lillian Russell was to make ber debut in “‘The Little Duke” there was a chorus of *oh’s!” and everybody won- dered what could have induced the diva, who had so long professed abhorrence to masquerading on or off the stage in male attire, to accept a role in which she would certainly nave to play the part of a man. A bicycle was to blame for it all. Miss Russell learned to ride a bike last summer, and down at her country resi- dence on Long Island she became accus- tomed to wearing bloomers when she went out for a spin along the road. Well, when it was suggested to her to appear as the Little Duke she conceived the idea of dress- ing the part in bloomers—rather scanty ploomers to be sure, but no scantier tkan one often sees nowadays among the bicy- clists on the poulevards. And_so it was done, and Chicago decided that Miss Hus- sell made a very handscme boy—well fed, but handsome, just the same. Dramatic Brevities. “The Gay Parisians’’ will be seen here in August. Alexander Salvini will be one of the Baldwin’s coming attractions. Robert Mantell’s new play will be made a feature of his coming engagement at the California Theater. Eddie oy, in “The Strange Adventures | of Miss Brown,” will follow Richard | Manstield at the Baldwin. W. H. Keith, the California barytone, is | coming home after winning success in | Leipsic, Berlin, Dresden, Frankfort and | London. Rivarde, the Spanish violinist, will make his first avpearance in this City at the Columbia Theater Monday evening, April 28. Olga Nethersole sails for England April 27. Parting is such sweet sorrow. She will take with her the dynamitic kiss that grew upon her in this country. H. B. Irving, son of Sir Henry Irving, will soon play **Hamlet” in London at the Elephant and Castle Theater. This will be his first metropolitan appearance in the character. The Empire Theater Company will soon commence rehearsals of a new play by Grundy entitled “The Late Mr. Castello,” and will give its first presentation in this City at the Baldwin in July. A bright little French comedy, written by one of the members of the French de- artment of the Girls’ High School, will e periormed next Friday evening at the Girls’ High School Auditorium. M. Emil Sauret, the violinist, has re- | tarned to Europe. His artistic success in | this country was very great, but otherwise | he had no reason 10 congratulate himself | on the result of his visit, more’s the pity. It is now a settled fact that Messrs. Friedlander, Gottlob & Co. will have con- trol of Anton Seidl's trans-continental tour, and that the organization with several great soloists will appear here in September next. The trouble with our problem play- wrights is that they can’t resist the temp- tation to get cheap and easy dramatic effect by exaggeration. In that respect they resemble our players who foam and | rant and weep floods of tears and other- | wise take on to a degree notknown among the children of men. The stage hands of the Herald-square Theater gave an exhibition the other day | and proved that they could set and strike all the scenes in *“The Heart of Maryland” in thirteen minutes and five seconds. Other stage managers are_to give similar exhibi- tions, and it is possible that there will not be time enough to see even one man be- tween the acts if the wave of reform keeps on.
