- WiTH ROLAND REED ISADORE. B e (ALIFORNIA N Max Nordau, 1n a pessimis- tic miood, would scarcely have ed to predict Jast Sunday that in this enlightened town a pair of ridiculous mideets would all week monopolize more attention than the united attraction of Richard Mansfield and Roland Reed in new plays. But, sad as it is to relate, this came to pass. Peo- ple went in their hundreds to see the im- mortal Richard and the sprightly Roland, but it is scarcely an exaggeration to say that they went in their thousands and tens of thousands to gloat over the gets. There were satisfactory audiences | at the Baldwin and the California, but at no time had you to take your life in your [ hand in order to obtain an entrance, nor | having once been carried in on the surging | tide of humanity were you made to feel | like a sardine packed in a hox that was too tight to hold you. Te | These experiences were | rved for patrons of the midgets, but one cheerfully, aye gladly, under- bodily pain and mental angnish to obtain a glimpse of the little fellowsfi ht- ing like bantam roosters —and yet we grumble if Nordau says our end of the century tastes in the drama are degen- erate. Y ! Even from an end of the century stand- | point, the debutante at Grover's Alcazar should have been as much mobbed as were | the midgets, for she boasted a recent di- P There will also be concerts on Tuesday, vorce, gowns from Paris and a fiery u; tamed ambition to achieve dramatic dis- tinction.

But Mrs. Auzerais had a martyr's record to add | to her charms: her trip to Alaska, to try | the effects of the modern drama on the | virgin souls of the klootchmen 1s still fresh ‘ in our minds. It was an expensive trip, | and the gowns, like those now to be seen THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 1896 RICHARD MANSFIELD AnreiBALOWIN it [} ] Fanny Young will have a very congenial part in Mrs. Uppers. The rest of the cast will be fully up to the Alcazar’s standard, and the play will be carefully mounted. o It is stated that *‘My Son-in-Law, though produced in San Francisco over 150 times, has never been seen in New York, although offers have been made for it. Leonard Grover announces that he has concluded arrangements with the “Pudd'nhead Wilson” management to produce “My Sen-in-Law” in New York next season. Tivoli Opera-House. “Bluebeard” is in its last nights at the Tivoli. The second edition of the home- made extravaganza has proved as good as the first, and the medley of coster songs by Ferris Hartman, together Awith the specialties of the De Fillippis, Gilbert and Goldie, Fannie Liddiard, Thomas C. Leary Kate Marchi, W. H. West, Jobn J. Raffae and Miss lrene Cook, have all gone to make up a successful extravaganza production. ‘After the run of ‘‘Bluebeard” a scenic revival of “The Chimes of Normandy'’ will be given. This will be followed by a pro- duction of Dellinger’s opera, ‘‘Lorraine which will be heard in this City for the first time. S At the Orpheum. The Hopkins Trans-Oceanic Company will continue during the present week to be the attraction at the Orpheum, or more correctly speaking, the Rossow Brothers, athletic midgets and pugilists,will continue to be the atiraction at the Orpheum, for DY L AT MoRoscos with Eugene Ysaye. There will also be an orchestra of over forty musicians, un- | der the direction of H.J.Stewart. The | programme is as follows: Overture, “Oberon” <o Weber Orchestra. | Etudes symphoniques.... ..Schumann | M. Aime Lachaume. Solo, Dio Possente (“Iaust”) ...Gounod William H Violin concerto .

On Saturday evening a performance of Congreve's comedy, ‘‘Love for Love,”" will be given at the Columbia by students of Berkeley University. The play, which was recently produced successfully at Shattuck Hall, was revised by Professor L. D. Syle, and 'the prologue and epilogue were revised by Isaac Flagg.

Even she had to play second hddle to those ridicu- lous midgets. Paris apparel; their taste ran more to big | They have no Church and Stage Guild in New York yet, as they have in London, but things seem to be progressing that wey, to judge from a recent announce. ment. There is a play now running in thi metropolis known as “The Village Fost- | master.”” It is described as a corned-beef | and cabbage drama, with a genuine rain- storm at the end of the first act, a thrash- ing machine worksd by two real $4 horses, & sure-enough haystack, a bona fide apple | tree, with new fruit every night and one or two turkeys or chickens. The author has filled in the places where these things aren't with quaint New Englanders, who make love and show no symptoms what- ever of disordered intellects. “The Vil- lage Postmaster” is so bucolic that the scent of the hay is almost borne across the footlights, and it is so free from any of the nasty morbid qualities that deface many modern dramas that the management has made bold to advertise *‘Clergymen’s matinees’” every Wednesday afternoon. The idea is a distinctly new and precious one, for if the pastors go the flock will surely dollow. ‘“‘Clergymen’s matinees,” if a success, will thus open up endless in- ducements to dramatists to refrain from seasoning their plays with vice. Playsare a good deal like the little girl in the nursery rhyme, “When they’'re good, they're very, very good; and when they're bad, they’re horrid.”” If the ‘“clergymen’s matinee” idea takes with the cloth, the public will at once know that a play which has been received into the odor of sanctity can be classed as ““good,” and enterprising mana- gers of such plays will no doubt proceed to advertise ‘‘church members' matinees” and “Bunday-school matinees.” There | Arthur Dimmesdale in “The Scarlet Let- | rounded by a company of comedians, will | comedy success, *The Strange Adventures ! W. Hulme, Alex Cameron, W. are even press agents bold and unblushing enough to proclaim loudly that the plays they represent are eminently fitted for “‘churchwardens’ and deacons’ matinees’’; but, no! the soul recoils at the idea of a deacons’ matinee. Even the press agent holds something sacred. Columbia Theater. Rivarde, the Franco-Spanish violinist, will make his S8an Francisco debut at the Columbia Theater to-morrow night, on which occasion he will be assisted by Wil- liam H. Keith, the California barytone, who has been winning laurels in Europe, e#nd by Aime Lachaume, the French pian- ist, who visited this City about & year ago fiela appears as the battered old roue, the Baron Chevrial. The role of the rich old banker affords him magnificent opportu- nitiesand he makes the most of the telling lines and effective situations. The great- est feature of the play centers in the ban- quet scene in the fourth act where the Baron is seen entertaining a number of actresses and club men, and where he is suddenly seized with convulsions and dies in the very midst of the hilarity. ““A Parisian Romance’ also affords good opportunities to Beatrice Cameron, who appears as Rosa. This play will be the bill to-morrow and on Tuesday and Satur- day matinees. That strong dramatic pro- duction, “The Story of Rodion, the Stu- dent,” will be repeated for the last time on Wednesday night. Mansfield will ap- ear as Beau Brummeli for the last time uring the present engagement on Thurs- day night, and on Friday evening he will avpear for the only time as the Rev. The next attraction at the Baldwin heater will be Eddie Foy, who, sur- present for the first time in this City the of Miss Brown.”” California Theater. “The Politician”’ will remain at the Cali- fornia Theater during the week. Both Ro- land Reed and Isadore Rush have become popular in their roles of the Politician and the Twentieth Century Woman, respec- tively, and the play itself has been found to contain plenty of brightness and vi- vacity. On'Monday, May 4, Primrose and West’s Minstrels will open a season at the Cali- fornia Theater, Among other black and white artists of the minstrel variety this organization will bring George Wilson, A, H. Win- dom, J. Wall and the colored boy singer Master kddie. This entertainment will also include descriptive views Ppresented | by the Millar brothers. Grand Opera-House. “Lady Lil,” a play identified with the name of Lillian Lewes, will be put on at the Grand to-morrow night. The story is an Austrian one, dating back some thirty years to the time of the Austro-Prussian war, and though the plot is to some ex- tent military, 1t also savors strongly of circus life. 1ndeed, the heroine herself is an ‘“equestrienne’ at Prague, and it is Ler prowess in the ring which attracts to her side two brothers—the hero and the villain of the story. Kany of the situa- tions are _strous. and the interest of the spectator is held from start to finish. Among the scenes that have been pre- pared by Sydney Chidley and his staff is oue representing the corridor of a circus, with a view of the menagerie. Another is the moonlit ruins of the Boehmisch Truban. Grover’s Alcazar. Mrs. Auzerais Hoyte will play the role of Mrs. Bisbon, the romantic wife, in Leon- ard Grover's “‘My Son-in-Law,” at the Al- cazar to-morrow evening. The author will play Bisbon, which ranks among his most successful impersonations. Leonard Grover Jr. will be Mr. Uppers, a character- ization that served to introduce him 1o this City, and Hereward Hoyte will be the son-in-law. For the first time here Miss May Noble will play Sara Turnheart, | these little performers seem to stand in higher favor than any attraction in the vaudeviile lineseen in'the City for a long time, Among the other members of the com- pany, Fulgora, the transfigurator, does a clever act, which shows that he is as suc- cessful behind the footlights as he is as a manager and organizer. The other per- formers, with one exception, are all up to the standard. Next week most of the members will appear in new acts, and they will close after Saturday night’s perform- ance, May 2. Sunday, May 3, a_complete new company, direct from New York, will make its California debut at the Orpheum. New Auditorium. Professor D. M. Bristol will open his performarce of educated horses, mulesand ponies at the New Auditorium to-morrow. The troupe consists of thirty horses, who perform numerous tricks and antics, The opening of the show takes the form of a school, in which various tasks and duties are assigned to the horses. The most intelligent and accomplished of the animalsis Sultan, a horse who made quite a sensation in London overa year ago and who has achieved aninternational reputation for sagacity and mathematical accuracy. He tells time, works sums in arithmetic, and even gives the proper answers to questions proposed by persons The second part of the entertainment consists mainly of feats of physical skill and balancing, many of which seem to require the exercise of a reasoning faculty. There will be matinees Saturday and Sunday. Macdonough Theater. Peter F. Dailey and his company open at the Macdonough Theater, Oaklana, in “The Night Clerk’ to-morrow. night, their season closing with Tuesday’s perform- ance. On Wednesday evening, the 29th inst., the violinist, Rivarde, assisted by Aime Lacbaume, pianist, and William Keith, barytone, will give a concert at the Macdonough, with an orchestra of forty musicians. in the audience. Carr Benefit. There is every prospect of a large attend- ance at the testimonial concert to Mrs. Carmichael Carr, which takes place in Golden Gate Hall on the 30th inst. Among the artists are Mrs. Carmichael Carr, Sigi- mund Beel, Miss Sofia Newlands, B. Jau- lus and J. Josephs. Daly’s Shakespeare Dinner. The New York Shakespeare Society has given a dinner in Augustin Daly’s honor, and by so doingz has called down on itself the wrath of a number of critics, who ac- cuse Daly of having dailied in a more irreverent way with the immortal Wil- liam’s works than any other manager, living or dead. These critics say that when Daly wanted to make cuts in Shakespeare's plays he did it with a meat ax, that he has ‘‘popu- larized” the bard’s works by introducing into them “‘turns” whose proper place is the music hall, and that though Augustin is a wise and wcnbg gentleman the average person who reads Shakespeare and has been in his theater will receive the news of the dinner with shouts of laughter. John Dennis Jr. says: “If it should be proposed for the Society for Painting Scenery by the Mile or the Association for Producing Preposterous Reds and Impos- sible Greens to give him a dinner, Ishould applaud. “But Shakespeare is a different matter. *‘The plain, simple, unadorned and un- prejudiced truth is that Mr, Daly knows little about Shakespeare, and cares less.’’ Sousa’s New Opera. John Philip Sousa seems to have grown tired of being known only as a march king. In fact itisan open secret that he has pined to shine in music of a more exalted character than “The Washington Post March” and *The Cotton King.” Operetta is not a very much higher sphere than that in which Sousa now shines, particularly operetta of the De Wolf Hopper variety, but it opens the way to higher possibilities, and on that account, Souca hasreason to congratulate himsalf on the great success which the De Wolf Hopper company has made with his “El Capitan” in Boston. Indeed it seems probable, from the way the papers speak, that we shall s0gn have dinned into our unfortunate ears from every piano, every band and every whistling messenger-bo on his errands bits and snatches from “El Capitan.”’ he action of “El Capitan” passes in Peru, though it is said !z)lmt mrtonunlte country never saw or dreamed of such Peravian feminine al gels in silks and satins, or such magnificently costumed f{entlemeu as appear in ‘the performance. opper’s make-up rather surprised his ad- mirers, accustomed as they were to gaze on the weli-known Hopperian features. He chose Dou Quixote for his model, and 80 appears with fierce mustache and beard, armed cap-a-pie. _Charles Klein, the librettist, has en- livened the work with a number of spark- ling lines and comic situations. The chief characters are Hopper, the newly ap- pointed Viceroy of Peru, who when the insurgents are ready to mob him masque- rades as El Capitan, joins the rebels and leaves poor little Alfred Klein to be point- ed out as the Viceroy; Klein, who is the unfortunate victim of Hopper's scheme for self-defense, ana of Mrs. Hopper, as Es- trelda, who falls in love with the alleged valiant Capitan and wants to marry him. Miss Alice Hosmer, the Spanish Princess, who is the wife of the masquerading Hop- per, makes it exceedingly warm for him when she discovers Estrelda’s intentions. Dramatic Brevities. Elita Proctor Otis will star next season in the “City of Pleasure’” and “Carmen.” Chevalier, the coster singer, has been %emng $1500 per week during bis stay in ew York. “The Heavenly Twins,” a dramatization of the popular novel, will shortly be pro- duced in London, The band in ‘“The Politician” is capable of making enough noise for a genuine political gathering. Sydney Rosenfeld has another American comedy on hand, which he calls “A Fash- ionable Physician.” The Chicago papers state that Maxime Elliott has left for California to join the Frawley stock company. Richard Mansfield will close his engage- ment at the Baldwin next Saturday night with a “Parisian Romance.” The invaluable press agent affirms that John Drew cares not what 1s said of him if the fit of his clothes is not criticized. 8ir Augustus Harris has given up his announced intention of bringing ‘‘Cheer, Boys, Cheer,” to the United States next season. Eddie Foy will be starred in a new com- edy next season by William A. Brady. The piece will deal in a humorous manner with the X-ray. Sol Smith Russell is accused of medi- tating a revival of “Kutherine and Petru- chio’” for next season. 1t is probable that he is not guiity. _Ellen Beach Yaw, the California girl with the phenomenally high voice, will open her series of concerts in this City on or about June 1. At Native Sons’ Hall, Tuesday evening, the 28th, a grand production of the drama “Forgiven,” under the direction of Messrs. Kilgo and Stanhope. Mme. Modjeska has left the East for her California ranch, where she hopes to re- cover the use of her arm, which has been struck with paralysis. Hoyt’s Australian “A Trip to China- town” company is now fully organizea and will start West in afew days. The company will play some of the largest cities on the way out. Copenhagen is to have a woman’s the- ater, with women to manage it, women to act all the parts, and women to write the plays. A beginning will be made with a play by Margaret Thorson. A New York theater prints at the head of its programme The way to deal with the BIG HAT 18 to take it Off. Louis Frechette, the Canadian poet- laureate, is writing a play for Sarah Bera- hardt by special order from the actress. It will deal with Italian life in the seven- teenth century and is to be finished on | May 23. It seems the announcoment that Elenora Duse has been secured for the Columbia Theater in June wassomewhat premature. According to letters reccived from the East Duse will be sailing for Europe about that date. Mounet-Sully has been giving readings of the Lenten sermons of Bossuet. Had the celebrated tragedian, who is by re- ligion a Protestant, followed the wishes of his mother he would now be a pastor in- stead of an actor. Strange as it may seem, considering the great success which has atiended him in the career he chose, he says he sometimes regrets that he did not follow her advice. ANSWERS T0 CORRESPONDENTS.

In a life insurance case a Federal Judge recently charged as follows, says the Case and Comment: ‘‘Now, gentlemen of the jury, I try to close my eyes, as well as I can, to the fact that a woman and child have any in- terest whatever in the result of a contro- versy when it is brought into court. I can- not always do it. I don’t suppose you can. It is not expected. If a man can do that, he is no better than a brute. He is as bad as the heathen is supposed to be, and worse than the horsethief is thought to be. If he close his eves to that fact, lose all sense of decency and self-respect, he would not be fit for a juror. But, so far as it is pos- sible for you to do that, you do so, and de- cide the case precisely as you would if it was between man and man, or between a woman and a woman,”” And yet the insurance company took an exception to the charge. — e ——— The Holland dikes are from 10 to 40 feet in height.
