24 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 24, 1896. - » papinTA AT THE ITH one _exception | week's performances of the | Daly Company must have | left every one over the ten- der and susceptible age of | sweet 16 with the unsatisfied craving that | comes after diming, not wisely but too well, on ice cream, French bonbons and choco- Jate caramels. There is something abso- lutely saccharine about Franz von Schon- | than's comedies. For linked sweetness long drawn out this distinguished German dramatist conld give pointers to The Duches: whose novels, as every one knows, the characters live, and move, and | have their being solely to fall in love, and | kiss and bill and coo through three vol- | umes and then win the heavy father's blessing and live happily ever afterward. The Daly week beg with Franz von Schonthan, it continued with Frarz von Schonthan, and with the exception of the “School for Scandal” last night ended with Schonthan. Thearrange- ment made one think of a long dinner of sweetmeats with a good substantial blow- | out at the end. last ] OorRPHREV/M I\J/, VAYNYNA IR VA + | Of course 1t is very delightful to see | whole families and communities plunged | in & vortex of love-making; delightful to | dream through four acts that life is com- | posed entirely of balls, kisses, bouquets, | amorous sighs and tender vows. In the world, as Franz von Schonthan depicts it, the young people have absolutely nothing to do except to make love, and the parents exist only to give or withhold their ble ings. *“The Last Word” is a good example of Von Schonthan’s dramatic methods. There is the secretary, a hara man, who | attempis to rule a daughrer's heart, though from the middle of the first act every one in the audience is aware that most of the interest in the p will lie in the means employed to make him change round, and, like Balaam, bless where ue wanted to hurl malediction Harry, his son, is marked as love’s victim the mo- ment he makes his first entrance, and | s he knows women from books. From ousin Modus downward every one who knows women from beoks is doomed to succumb to their wiles. Professor Rutherell is a heavy father, in- | troduced to give his blessing readily, asa heavy father should. He also forms a foil to the contrariness of the secretary, Alex- ander Airey, the gentleman whose chronic state it is to be in love and shower bou- quets with colored streamers on the ladies who sojourn in his affections, Heis finally nailed in dead earnest by an artless liltle‘ thing, who confides to third parties that | she loves him. Boris Baraneff is the ro- mantic lover, Baron Stuyve 1s the wicked ditto, Ada Rehan, as the Baroness Bara- neff, is a perfect matrimonial agency with every one's love affairs, including her own, | on her hands. Faith is sentimentally and 1 pathetically in love, and though the| dramatist refrains from mentioning it one | feels sure that MUe. Lida, the maid, flirts | desperately with Paul, the page. In such | an atmosphere it would be resisting her | natural destiny to do otherwise. | In short, as “The Last Word” depicts life, Von Schontnan does not see anything else in the world except the roseate tinge of love. It isvery touching to be shown s0 many souls with but a single thought, but one cannot help wondering what will | become of all his dramatis persone when they are married off or have enabled oth- ers to ma by blessing them. Like Othello, their occupation Will be gone. | | If it had not been for the excellent act- ing of the Daly Company, the audience | would have been tempted to think more than once of that motto which is impressed on children’s little minds when they are wrestling with words of one syllable in | their infant primers—“‘Sweets cloy.” Batdwin Theater. The Daly Company give their spec- tacular production of “Midsummer Night's Dream'” at the Baldwin Theater to-mor- row night. They achieved considerable success with this work a few seasons ago in New York and afterward in London, and all their revivals of Shakespeare’s fairy drama have met with great popu- Jarity. The management states that none of the special features, such as gorgeous costumes, music, etc., which marked the recent New York revival, are to be omit- ted in this Cicy. “Midsummer Night’s Dream” will be ziven on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday nights and at the Saturday matinee, with the following cast : ‘neseus, Duke of Athens... . father of Hermia. ... in love with Hermi .John Cralg rius, beloved by delena..

The company, with all its acces- sories, will sail for Australia on Thursday. Julian Mitchell, stage director for Hoyt's plays, goes with the production to ‘the Antipodes. Columbia Theater. Amy Lee and Frank Doane will continue to present “Miss Harum Scarum” at the Columbia this week. New specialties will be introduced.

The announced attraction for this thea- ter is John Stone’s famous historical trag- , “Metamora,”’ with Edmund K. Col- n the title role. It is the last week of | this actor's engagement, so that his ad- mirers will no doubt go to hear the last of bim#@remembering that “such an oppor- tunity may not occur again.” “Metamora,’’ although so well-known a play, has not been seen in this City for many years. Collier is said to be at his best as the fierce Wampanoag chief, and there are several other roles of promise in the cast. The production wilt be handsomely | staged. | Tivoli Opera-House. “Uncle Tom's Cabin’ will be continued, with all its specialties, at the Tivoli till further notice. It will be succeeded by Dallinger’s romantic opera, ‘“‘Lorraine,”’ a production of which has been promised for some time. “Lorraine” will be made the occasion of introducing to the San Francisco public Miss Marie Millard, daugtter of the late Harrison B. Millard, a young Jady who sprang into sudden fame as a prima donna of light opera last season in th East. Miss Millard inherits a strong mu cal talent from her father, and she is said to possess a sweet well-trained voice and | to be asympathetic actress. During the late song-composer's residence in this City his daughter was popular among his musical friends, so that Miss Millard will The Tivoli is preparing a summer bur- lesque spectable, A Trip to the Moon,” and this will be followed by a season of grand opera. At the Orpheum. The Orpheum will have a number of at tractions this week, foremost among them being Papinta, who has been surnamed “Queen of the Myriad Dance.” Some ar- dent New York critics huve said that she is La Loie Fuller multiplied by five. She has all the lizht effects that were shownin It is said that one looking on Papinta’s dance cannot disabuse oneself of the impression that a conflagration is raging among the skirts of a whole corps de ballet. The electrical devices and stage appliances necessary to presenting Papinta’s act are intricate and ingenious. A character vocalist and comedienne; Chalfont, Golden and Chalfont, comedi- ans, singers, whistlers and yodlers, and McAvoy and May, burlesque dancers and singing comedians. The funmakers, Le Clair and Leslie, are also on the bill, and this week will see the last of the popular comedian, John W. Ransone. CHARITY CONCERT. The Baturday Morning Orchestra Will Aid a Worthy Object. The history of the Saturday Morning orchestra’s good deeds is too well known to need repetition, but the large sums of money raised by these young ladies for charity during the past four or five years should not be forgotten by the public. They have never retained anything for their organization, but havealways handed overall of the net proceeds to the charities benefited. It is their wish to maintain permanently a bed in the Children’s Hospital whicn is to bear the name of the orchestra. They offer an interesting and artistic programme for next Thursday evening at Golden (Gate Hall. Many tickets have been sold, and such interest is manifested in both social and musical circley that a crowdea house and well-deserved suceess are insured. The following programme will be per- formed : Overture, “Raymonde”. ..

Daley and George Brown on the charge of petty larceny. For some weeks complaints have been received by the police from residents in the Richmond district of articles being stolen from their premises, and Daley and Brown kept & sharp lookout for the thief or thieves. Suspicion fell upon Danehy and a companion, and Friday might Dinehy was arrested.

So thatnight they went to the Nouveaute and saw “Hotel 'de Libre Exchange.” There were no librettos on sale, but they hired an interpreter, and by this means and with the aid_of a couple of copies of “First Lessons in French,” they enjoyed the performance and had a good time gen erally. It wasa comedy in which a young married woman, with an out-at-night hus- band, tried to get even with him by going out with a friend of his for a jolly evening. 1t was uEroariously funny and decidedly risque. Frank and Ali were excitealy en- thusiastic over it. But neither said a word. Later in the eveningeach hied him | furtively to the cable office and sent a | message to this side of the water. Frank McKee cabled Hoyt what a good thing it was, and Alf Hayman cabled Chnr’ies Frohman that it was just the play for him to get to put into Hoyt’s Theater., The repliel they got floored Frohman’s cable read like this. Alf Hayman, Paris: 1know “Hotel de Libre Exchange” {s'a good thing. I booked it for Hoyt's two months ago. Glad tosce you in- dorse my judgment. FROHMAN, The fact of the matter is that ‘‘Hotel de Libre Exchange” was the play which Charles Frobman had taken Hoyt's Thea- ter for, but for which he had found no name. Later on he selected the title, *The Gay Parisians,” under which the comedy was produced at Hoyt's, where it ran for over 150 nights to immense busi- ness. L them. Wales Admires Eames. The Prince of Wales, besides being a well-bred gentleman, is also an excellent critic of music. At the Ghiselle perform- ance in Monte Carlo a few weeks ago he met Julian Story in the lobby of the opera- house. “Say to your wife, Mme. Eames,” re- marked the Prince, “that she never looked more beautiful nor has she sung more brillinntly—but the music is neavy, is it not?'"’ Evidently his royalty of Galles is no lover of the abstruse sound weavings of Cesar Franck.

Jean de Reszke is to marry the Countess de Gonlaine July 16, and farewell, Jean, to your triumphs, for a married tenor in New York is shorn of half his splendors. The London critics speak very favorably of Henry Arthur Jones' new play, “The Rogue’s Comedy.” It will be brought to this country next season by E. 8. Willard, who is at present appearing in it in London. L Nordica is wheeling every day; so is Melba, and Klafsky says she is to get a wheel this summer, for she is piqued at the remarks in the press abont her size: :*Ich bin nicht so large,” she pathetic- ally remarked to a friend at the opera- house. The success of semi-religious melodrama in London has convinced some theatrical speculators that the time has come for the production of the ‘‘Passion Play” in that city, and it is said that toe Lord Chamber- lain is to be approached on the subject. Rose Coghlin has concluded by cable a contract with Max O’Rell, by which she will next season present a new play by him, called “‘Heartsease.” It will first be produced in London by Forbes Robertson and Mrs. Patrick Campbell, and will have its original hearing in this country next November. 1t deals with the higher Bohemian life of Paris. “A purely domestic matter started me as wheelwoman, said Lilian Russell recently. ‘*My sister had dyspepsiaand was irritable and a bother to herself and she got a wheel.
