30 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALI";, SUNDAY, MAY 31, 1896. EXT month will show us the unusual spectacle of every the- ater in the City occupied by stock companies except the Baldwin and the Orpheum. The California season does not begin till June 15, but the Frawley Company opens at the Columbia to-morrow and comes at a timely moment. A few more performances like ‘‘Faust” with fireworks and ‘“Miss Harum Sca- rum,” and Daniel Frawley’s ministra- tions would have been sorely needed at the Columbis. As it is, the audiences have suffered long and been kind, in an- ticipation of Frawley. San Francisco always took to him, from the time he began his apprentice hand at management here a year ago in ‘‘Sweet Lavender.” FEncouraged by the success of the Fraw- ley Company, the Columbia Theater tried a sort of stock comvany last fall. There were a few clever people in its ranks, but it is impossible to recail the performances without experiencing a tired feeling. The fatal feature of the season was trying to star Rose Coghlan in girlish roles. “A many years ago, when she was young and charming,” Rose could have carried the season herself, but the mantle of immor- tality which Patti and Bernhardt wear has not yet descended on Rose Coghlan’s shapely but substantial shoulders. She is not old enough. In another ten years Miss Coghlan will have ceased to look like a good, heavy, well-nourished duenna, the “too, too, solid flesh” will have melted, she will take reefs in those gorgeous dresses of hers to make them fit her slender form; even the Coghlan double chin will bave dissolved into thin air, and Rose will be herself again. In these days of grand old men and grand young grandmothers, it is not till an actress has bidden a lingering last farewell to 50 that she enters into the herituge of her second youth. Some day—it is quite a long time off— even Ada Rehan will have grewn young enough to play Helena in **A Midsummer ght's Dream” gushingly and® girlishly, as she ought to be played, for is it reason- able to suppose that any one but a very young and very gushing girl could have | given her unasked affections sa ardently to | Demetrius, and such a Demetrius? When | Miss Rehan gets old enough to *‘gush’ she won’t amble across the stage to her lover when the irate Hermia gets after her, and then thinking better of it turn round and stand on the defensive. Ske will rush | straight to Demetrius’ arms, and see that she gets there. ‘‘Caparisons are odorous,” as Mrs, Malaprop remarks, though one | cannot help thinking how differently Ellen Terrv would have behaved in that | scene. Ah, but one forgets—Ellen Terry is 0ld enough to be young. Augustin Daly has not much opinion of | dancing; unfortunately few managers who penetrate to the Pacific Coast have. They generally assume that the kind of terpsi- | chorean exercise that appeals to the suscep- tibilities of Californians is either a break- down or a waving mass of draperies, in the midst of which a foot is occasionally vis ble, waving like a signal of distres Mr. Daly shows his good taste when he spurns and rejects these violent forms of exercise; | they should be reserved for the gymna- sium or the family circle, where the neigh- bors are too far off to be annoyed by the | dull “thud, thud” of a heavy body coming | down on its heels, Itis strange, though, that with Mr. Daly’s | scorh for the art of Terpsichore he should make a specialty of producing “A Mid- summer Night's Dream.” The children | who read “Grimm’s Goblins” could tell | him that fairies always dance. Mr. Daly’s | fairies ran round and round with great | rapidity, as if they were trying how sea- i sick they could make themselves feel. it was impossible to belp thinking of May- bugs. Poor Titania did not even make the rotary attempt i{o trip the light fan- tastic toe. There was only once when her | feet were in evidence, and that was when | she tucked them up on “‘the bank where- | on the wild thyme grows,” and exposed to the admiring gaze of the audience a pair of good subsiantial walking shoes, or were | they boots? At any rate the casings of | her feet were strong and thick enough to lull all anxiety on the score of her taking cold by walking about at night on the dsmp grass. Prudent Titania! If she could not dance she showed that she knew | a thing or two about bygiene. Perhaps | the fairy queen had become a new woman. | How much dancing those rose windows | in Notre Dame de Paris are responsible | for. It was when gazing in a fit of admir- | ation at that great rainbow-tinted east | window, flashing like a system of jewels | in the dim relizious darkness of the | Gothic nave, that Loie Fuller first receivec her famous inspiration for a rainbow dance. Afterlong, and Loiesays discourag- ing, consultations with electricians she succeeded in showing Paris a new use for cathedral windows by transferring their tints to her skirts. Of course her success had imitators, and Papinta was one of these. The level-headed, nimble-footed lit- tle person knew that “‘alone all by herself” she could not hope to vie with the one and only Loie. She determined to dupli- cate herself, It had been done in London, and if one woman over there could econo- mize on a whole ballet by using looking- glasses why not Papinta? She worked on her mirrors as La Loie had worked on her cathedral windows, and the scheme suc- ceeded. At the Orpheum they consider that five Papintas are more than a match for one Loie Fuller. Baldwin Theater. One of the chief dramatic events of the week will certainly be the grand revival of “Twelith Night,” which Augustin Daly will put on at the Baldwin Theater to- morrow, with Miss Renan in the role of Viela. Thisisa part in which the gifted actress has already won many laurels. The cast is as follows The Countess Ol Miss Sybil Carlisle Maria.....

A double bill will be given | on Thursday evening, and will be made up of the two comedies, “The Belle's Stratagem” and “The Honeymoon.” “Taming of the Shrew’’ will be the closing production of the season. Columbin Theater. The newly organized Frawley Company will open its season at the Columbia Theater to-morrow night. Among the newcomers are Miss Maxine Elliott, ac- knowledged to be one of the handscmest women on the American stage, Frank Worthing, who has playea with Charles Wyndham’s company in London, and for some time past with Augustin Daly’s com- pany, and Tyrone Power, also a former member of the Daly Company. The com- panv *has secured a new comedian in Harry Corson Clarke, and another new- comer is Miss Gertrude Elliott, who was here with Marie Wainright. The opening play is *“The Two Escutch- eons,” adapted Irom the German of It is stated that new scenery and costumes have been prepared for the occasion.

[t involves | a large amount of capital and labor to stage and act this sort of work, and “‘The Soudan’’ requires a small army to be put | on the stage. The managementof the Grand announces that special pains have been taken to give the work an adequate representation. There are thirty speaking varts, and in one scene no less than 200 people are to appear on the stage. Several entire sets of scenery have had to be painted, for there are fourteen scenes called for in the seven acts. The plot of *“The Soudan” is founded on the expedition against the false Mahdi of Dongola by the British and Egyptian troops in 1883-84. Part of the story is laid in England and part in Africa, and the action is lively thronghout. His many friends will be glad to welcome back Leslie Morosco, who makes his re- appearance after a six months’ foreign tour. Tivoli Opera-House. & “Olivette” will be revived to-morrow at the Tivoli. The title role will be sung by Josephine Gassman, Ferris Hartman wilt appear as the simple-minded Coquelicot, and the other performers will be W. H. ‘West, John J. Raffael, Arthur Boyce, W. H. Tooker, Carrie Roma, Kate Marchi, Anna Schnabie and Sadie. *‘Ohvette” will next week be replaced by Dellinger’s romantic opera “Lorraine,” with a cast which will include the first a arance 1o this City of Miss Marie M& ard, a rew prima “onna soprano, and the reappearance of the soubrette, Miss Lonise Boyce, who has been touring throughout the East with Frank Daniels in his merry opera, “The Wizard of the Nile.” Following “Lorraine” wili come the operatic spectacle, “A Trip to the Moon,"” with new songs, dances, ballets and mechanical effects. At the Orpheum. The Meers Brot .ers will appear for the first time on the Pacific Coastat the Orph- eum to-morrow. They are high-wire per- formers from London, who played for the first time in America at Hummerstein’s a few weeks awo. The Meers Brothers are said to perform acrobatic feats which have not before been attempted on the high wire. Their family 13 a well-known one in_the London music hails. Dixon, Bowers and Dixon, who styles themselves “Thbe Three Rubies,” will “ap- r in a comedy sketch.

The bill be completed by Golden, Chalfont and Golden, the whistlers and yodiers; McAvoy and May, dancers and | comedy sketch artists, and Lizzie B. Ray- mond, the singing comedienne. i California Theater. The dramatic stock company which is to | open at the California on June 15 includes among its members Herbert Kelcey, who for many years was the bright particular light of Daniel Frohman’s Lyceum Thea- ter Company; William Beach, who will be remembered as one of the artists of the old-time Alcazar company. « J. T. Sullivgn will appear, as will L. R. Stockwell. Effie Shannon of Lyceum Theater Company fame will be one of the principal female members of the company, as will also her sister and probably Louise Thorndyke Boucicault. The plays secured are on a par with the es of the members of the com- any. They include a comedy drama by inero, “The Home Secretary,” and “The Idler” in which Kelcey has often been seen as Mark Cross. Other plays are “The Gray Mare,” ‘A Bunch of Violets,” etc. Popular prices will prevail at the California during the stock season. — W, Macdonough Theater. a Eddie Foy comes to the Mncdonough,l Oakiand, with “The Strange Adventures ; of Miss Brown.” = Ada Rehan and the Dalv company will | come June 9 for one night and wil{pm- sent Sheridan’s *School for Scandal.” This is expected to be the dramatic and social event of the season in Qakland. £ A Picture Play. “Miss Jerry,” a love story illustrated with photographic pictures, will receive its first performance in this City at Metro- Yoh'.an Temple on Monday, June 8. This lorm of entertainment is new to San Fran- cisco, though it has become popular in the East. The pictures are thrown on a screen and dissolve into one another rapidly, while a story is told in mono- logue. Cissy and Yvette. Here is a romance of Leicester Square, London, neatly summarized by the West- minster Budge! ‘“And allis as right as right can be.” Miss Cissy Loftus has not quarreled with Yvette Guilbert, and Mlle. Yvette Guilbert has not quarreled with Cissy Loftus. This N is the momentous fact which one gathers | t© 107d Sholto she said: | from an amusing half-column interview in | ® the Daily Mail. ~ The sole origin of the *‘quarrel”’ sto was the exhibition ny Mrs. McCarthy’s manager outside the Al- hambra of a poster of the real Yvette Guil- bert. The latter lady complained, and the oster, very properly, has been removed. issy Loftus loves Yvette, and Yyette loves Cissy; and they are ail going to live happily ever after. P.S.—Itmay be added for the sake of absolute precision that Yvette is not engaged at the Empire and Cissy at the Alhambra. “For further par- ticulars’ (as the railway and circus an. | V' nouncements have it) ‘“see advertisements view ends abruptly with two statements: and small bills.”” Money to Play With. John Drew, who will play “The Squire of Dames” this season at the Baldwin Theater shortly, tells a story about two ‘Western men who made their first visit to New York. These men had never been to the big city, but they imagined that every one must have heard of them, and thai their presence ywould create a sensation. They put on their big-checked suite and minstrel hats and strolled up and down the Rialto, but no one noticed them. They had money to play with, as they expressed it, E“ they were lonezome the first aay in New York. They decided to {o to Delmonico’s and order a big dinner, binking this might attract some atten- tion. Upon arrival at the cafe the bill of fare was handed to them, and they looked st indeed. me, and T am sure I do of him,and he entered into a combiu spectacular plays for managers. iy TWELFTH NIGHT Tne BALDWIN Com coneenet” 71 ATy BSLIE MOROSCO IN THE SOVDAN MOR9S(O5 GRAND OPERA HOUSE at each other in astonishment.

Lady Sholto Douglas, who is choreling and doing a little breakdown at Tony Pastor’s, is looked upon as a sort of Wild West show in New York. viewed by a World man, who found her to be ‘““a petite brunette, with very dark brown eyes, which have wonderful power of expression, beautiful black hair and a figure such as is seldom seen outside of 8he was inter- ew York."” Her ladyship confided to the reporter . that the Queensberry fumily were pining to Teceive a visit from her but that she was resisting the temptation, as she dearly loved the stage, and her husband’s rela- tions wanted her to give it up.

Olive Oliver will be a member of the ock company at the California Theater. Henry Dixey and Louis Harrison have on to produce Owing to the failure and assignment of Messrs. Abbey, Schoo‘!!el & Grau the fature of Abbey’s is'but idle speculation. La Loie Fuller has been for the past two weeks at a summer resort on the coast of Maine, where she is recuperating before taking up her travels again. On October 2 will be imported George Edwardes’ London Gaiety Comvnngé said to number nearly 150 people and w0 the original organization which has been playing “In Town” in the British me- tropolis. Sir Henry Irving’s son, H. B. Irving (not the one who wrote “Godefroi and Yo- lande”), bas tried “Hamlet” with what are reported to have been eccentrically disastrous results. The Casino, which expects to remain open all summer, will inangurate a pre- liminary season on August 31 with ‘“‘€hamus Q'Brien,” an Irish opera, which bas been given in London, and which will be brought here by the American Theatri- cal Syngicata. On the opening night at the Columbia Theater the audience will be presented with a souvenir copy of ‘‘The Frawley Waltz,” composed by E. E. Schmitz, the leader of the Columbia Theater orchestra, and which that gentleman dedicated to Daniel Frawley. Another feature will be the playing of “Cavalleria Rusticana” by the orchestra, with organ accompaniment. Charles Frohman has made a tremen- dous hit with bis first London production, and it is extremely probable that other presentations will be made by this enter- prising manager, as a consequence of the emphatic success of “The Gay Parisians,” whrch is being done at the Vaudeville, there, under the title of ‘“A Night Out.” Last November, when the Irving-Terry company was appearing at Abbey’s Thea- ter, Russ Whytal scld to Miss Terry the rights for Great Britain to his one-act play, “‘Agatha Dene.” ‘‘Agatha Dene” 1s the first American play in which Eilen Terry will appear, and the first to be pro- duced by Mr. Irving. Mr. Whytal and his wife i.ve been using the play the whole season as & curtain-raiser to “For Fair Virginia. At the Tremont Theater, in Boston, last Thursday, Alexander Salvini presented for the first time on any stage a new one- act play, “‘Rohan, the Silent,”” written for bhim by Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland and Emma Sheridan Fry. The play isfounded on a fact, and during the entire action Mr. Salvini does not speak a word until the very end, his work being all pantomimic. The scene is laid in England during tie fifteenth century. A Patriotic Woman. Reminiscence of Relief Work Done During the War. The following reference to the work done by Mrs. Adeline Couzins, the mother of Miss Pheebe Couzins, during the war is re- published from the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat of April 26, 1867: WASHINGTON, D. C., April 26 —The House will probably take favorable action next Fri- day night on the Senate bili to give Mrs. Ade- line Couzins of St. Louis, widow of the late United States Marshal, a pension. The report which accompanies the bill contains letters from Charles Gibson, James O. Broadhead, John B. Henderson, James E. Yeatman, Car- los Greeley, Dr. S. Pollak, S. M. Breckinridge and others, telling of the distinguished ser- vices rendered his country by Major Couzins during the war, and slso of the relief work of Mrs. Couzins. Whaen General Fremont made his midwinter expedition to routhwest Missouri in 1861 he left sick and disabled soldiers all along the route. Rumorsof the sufferings reached St. Louis, and the Ladies’ Union Aid called for volunteers to go to the relief. The mercury was below zero and the snow was deep on the ground. Mrs. Couzins and Miss Arethusa L. Forbes were the volunteers. Mrs. Couzins had her nose and feet frozen, and Miss Forbes was so severely disabled that she never entirely recovered her health. But they found the suffering soldiers in cabins, in stables ana tents, and on their reports hospital trains were sent out and the patients were removed to the post hospitals of St. Louis, This was only one of Mrs. Couzins’ experi- ences as a nurse. Miss Forbes has written a letter, which is now before the House Com- mittee, and will be embraced in the report. She writes to Miss Phcebe Couzins as follows: “Did your mother keep that petticoat in which the rebels made a bullet-hole firing at her from their fort? Mr. Yeatman was in company with them; he, if alive, can help you to remember. Edweard Bates, Attorney-Gen- eral of Lincoln’s administration, has passed away, has he not? I never should forget that interview; how delighted he looked; how his eyes sparkled as he read the paper in which your mother petitions to become head of the St. Louis Postoffice (it was at the time the Gov- ernment first proposed giving office to those who had done the most toward putting down the rebellion). As he finished the paper he read with so much auimation and pleasure he said, ‘Yes, yes, Mrs. Couzins, you sho have that office; mo ome in our country de- serves it more, and I know you well and I know you will do the office jus- tice.” You felt his earnestuess all ‘the more because of his husky, asthmatic voice, and he told how much fun'was made of him because he would have ladies in different de- partments; how heads of departments would send him nighteaps, call him grannie and many other opprobrious names, etc. (You 4 cannot insult an American man greater than to compare him 10 a woman, but Bates did not seem to care in the least.) Is Mrs. Bates still alive? She mightremember histalking about it, or hissons or daughters. But that petti. coat, with the rebel bullet bole and the bent hoop-skirt (I begged herso to keep them for her descendants), ought to speak loudly for a pen- sion.. YolRnow I wes only on one appoint- ment with your mother to Sedslia and Georgetown, but oh, what a terrible. a hor- rible experience that was, and a great part made by inexperience and mistakes. You know your mother went down tne Mississippi with the sanitary boats, and your mother sometimes was head doctor when the boats re- turned crowded—floors, staterooms, every place that a human form could be said, with the wounded, dying and dead; the regular male doctors lay drunk in their cabins on liguors furnished by the Ladies’ Union Aid for the wounded soldiers. Your mother washe? tbe coagulated blood from their wounds, sewed them, or when sible closed them with sticking-plasters. ch time a boat went down to bring back the wounded several ladies from the Union Aid went with it, and all worked hard; but your mother had the quiet temperament aud greater courage to perform the hardest parts (I say, God bless'that woman). Pheebe, from my very soul I believe your mother saved the lives of moPe soldiers than any half dozen surgeons in the army, .nd all done through her philanthropy and love of country; showing no partiality between the rebel and the Union soldier, and there were hundreds on the boats and in our St. Louis hos- pitals. All every one, fared the same, and the ies’ Aid on their part furnished the best of all thingsand cooked in the most avproved manner. Phebe, if your mother does not deserve & pension from her country, then, in the neme of the gods, who does? Ay, and from the rebel Government, too, for I have no doubt but mlu‘l poor, sad, sick rebel soldiar remembers with gratitude her kind and heart- felt care of them.” % > . Mrs. McKinley’s Slippers. Mrs. McKinley is well known through- out Ohio—in fact, throughout the United States—for her unostentatious charity. She bas been an invalia for years, but al- ways has been busy. She devotes her spare time to the making of invalid slip- pers, and whenever there is a call upon her to assist some institution, such as a hospital, she responds with a bundle of slippers of her own make, that are eagerly accepted, and prove most useiul. Mrs. McKinley’s slippers have achieved a reputation for beauty, as well as com- fort, and they are in use in dozens of hoases in Canton. Young girls who are in charge of tables at fancy fairs are sure to receive a bundle ot slippers from Mrs. McKinley if they write for them, fors e i{enenlly has a ‘stock on hand. Ii Mrs. cK:nley becomes the mistress of the ‘White House many good Americans will doubtless enjoy the sensation of wearing slippets made by the First Lady of the Land in the executive mansion at Wash- ington. IN JAIL FOR A DAY. Munro Johnson of Richmond Gets Into Trouble Ovor His Pet and a Bill. It was all overa common homely look- ing bulldog that Munro Johnson, the colored owner of Mag and Clara Johnson, and incidentally assistant clerk of the scales on the late Bay District racetrack, got into the City Prison yesterday morn- ing. %o the racing fraternity Johnson is as well known as Thomas H. Williams or Mr. McElroy, the late president and sec- retary of the racetrcok. In consequence of Lis importance about the track his ar- rest stirred up some Richmond folk, So great was the wonder and so gener- ally did the news spread that all manner | of stories were circulated regarding the arrest. The whole matter, however, when sifted down was over a bill and a bulldog. Johnson’s family had been %welling over the saloon on the northeast corzer of Fulton street and First avenue. and as soon as the track closed they went to Sac- ramento, lenvin(i: the dog in charge of the landlady. His dogship had been chained in the woodshed until Thursday evening, when the landlady had him locked up in the saloon underneath for better protec- tion, holding him as a lien for the bill. Johnson and two companions went to the saloon. which had been closed. and, as stated by Charles Vehlhaber, the proprie- tor, broke in the door and carried the dog away. _ This intrusion was reported to the po- lice and the arrest of Johnson followea, - Good morning, have you read Thomas Slater's advertisement for men on page 62 LITTLE TOTS MADE HAPPY. The Lockwood Pupils Have an Even- ing’s Evjoyment Among Friends. The Lockwood Children’s Culture Club, which bids fair to be the most popular club for juveniles in San Francisco, joined by the Cosmos Elocution Club, had a most flattering reception at Union-square Hall, The occasion was their first exhibition, and, judging from the warm reception and the close attention of their audience, their efforts were fully appreciated. Mrs. Lockwood, the principal and man« ;‘Fer of both clubs, was ably assisted by A. . de Forest, whose ability as an elocu- tionist needs no further evidence than the results attained. On account of the length of the exercises no encores were permitted. A very at- tractive programme was well arranged and promptly and successfully carried out. The participants were all lents at the Lockwood art studio of Devisadero street, and essayed dancing, singing and recitations, many of the little ones evinc- ing genuine talent. Little Hurry Darling, a boy soprano. sang Eugene Field’s “Little Boy Blue,” which has been so appropriately set to music. Pearl Ladd and Alice Lockwood did some of the best work among the older ones, and little Virgil and Aimee Jorgen- sen, Eva Bibero, Evelyn Wolf and Lillian Van Vorst were among the interesting toddlers. The evening concluded with a dance, in which the grown folks joined with the lite tle folks, making it a pleasing spectacle to all who remained.
