30 CALL, SUNDAY, JUNE 14, 1896. tourna- | The great Frawley-Stockwell | ment opens to-morrow. Theater-goers I have jumped at the conglusior that there | will be a tournament and are watching fof | the fray with deep interest, some of fh’m ready to stake money that Daniei l'raw»( ley’s admirers will stand shoulder to | shoulder and resist the allurements of the | California Theater, while others Con!ider‘ that Stockwell trumped his partner’s | tricks when he made all his prices lower | than those of the Columbia. Wilton Lackaye, bowever, 1s sure to prove a d_raw- | ing card for Frawiey, though there is no | knowing what new sensations Stockwell | may yet be holding in reserve. In this | theater-going town the field ought to bel wide enough for both companies, but if | one theater has to triumph at the other’s | expense it would take a prophet or the‘ son of a prophet to say beforehand which | is to be the winner. 1 | Since the failure of Abbey,Schoeffel & Grau and the publication of the loss at | which many NewYork theaters ran last sea- | son the Eastern papers have made & series of startling discoveries, which throw a new light on the American stage. In the first place they profess to have found out that the managers know nothing about their own business—they are coarse, sordid peo- ple, with souls more adapted to selling hoes than to directing the destinies of dramatic art; there is not one of them who knows a gooa play when he sees it, or who can distinguish a rising Bernhardt from a bucolic barn-stormer. On the shelves of New York managers, if we are to believe the journalistic statements, plays which would startle and delight the world lie dusty and neglected, while the managers vie with one another to secure weak, cheap trashy productions, which the public won’t accept at any price. One | New York critic, after carefully pondering over why so many theaters have been doing poor business, has written a cate- chism for managers. “Who employs the bad actors? The manager. Who produces the unworthy plays which the public would not pay money to see? The manager. Who has overcrowded the theater with amateurs? The manager. Who has put unskilled | players in the center of the stage and kept ! clever actors in the wings? The manager. Who has attempted to foist his favorites on the audience and given unsuitable roles to performers whose merits we approve? The manager. Who has persisted in fore- ing on us authors that we condemn? The manager. Who governs, directs. decides | upon the productions and shapes the policy | of the theater? The manager. Who but a theatrical manager would blame every- body, except himself, for the mistakes he has committed ?”’ 1t seems that the present manager has “got to go'” unless he reiorms his ways. if the journalists, who know so much more about his business than he does himself, could run the theaters for a time we might see some startling changes. The reform- ers do not propose to do this, however; all they demand is to see’ American theaters | under the direction of actor-managers of the Henry Irving, Beerbohm Tree and Forbes Robertson kind—men who under- stand acting as an art and do not regard it merely as a trade. The trouble is that actor-managers cannot be summoned from the vasty deep ata moment’s notice, and so far thiscountry has been slow in produc- ing men who excel in both -capacities. Mansfield has shown pretty conclusively that a great actor, with the best inten- | tions, may make a poor manager. How- ever, while the East is clamoring for the actorsmanager who does not come, San Francisco will this week have two of them in the field. On his opening night, a couple of weeks ago, Frawiey said that he intended 10 go on improving his troupe | till he coula send San Francisco compa- nies 1o New York. Stockwell would no doubt like to do the same thing, so by giv. in: the glad band to both companies we may yet solve the dramatic crisis and save the American stage from going down be- fore either the bicycle or the music hall. Baldwin Theater. To-morrow night Nat Goodwin will com- | mence the second and last week of his engagement with Henry Guy Carleton’s comedy, “A Gilded Fool,”” which was pre- sented during his last visit here. The play was written to suit his peculiar talents, and as Chauncey Short, the ‘'gilded fool,”’ who saves his sweetheart’s father from bankruptey in spite of the crime of a treacherous partner, Goodwin does some of his best work. He not only ives his andience plenty of material for aughter, but in certain scenes displays a pathos bordering on tears. John Drew comes to the Baldwin for a week’s engagement on Monday, June 22, He will present his latest success, *‘The Squire of Dames,” an adaptation by R. C. Carton from the French, which recent- ly ran for seven consecutive weeks in New | York. John Drew’s company inciudes, among others: Maud Adams, Annie Irish, Gladys Wallis, Ethel Barrymore, Annie Adams, Virginia Buchanan, Arthur Byron, Harry Harwood, Louis Baker, Leslie Allen, Herbert Ayling, Frank Lamb and Graham Henderson. California Theater. A good deal of local interest is centered in the initial appearance of the new stock company at the California Theater to-mor- row night. It will be a novelty to see such performers as Herbert Kelcey, Effie Shan- non, Olive Oliver, etc., at popular prices, and the first night will present a thor- oughly packed house. The company will make its appearance in the Lyceum Theater’s new production, “The Home Secretary,” a story of Eng- lish political and social life, the title role of which was played in London by Charles Wyndham and Fred Terry. The role will be assumed here by Herbert Kelcey. It is that of a shrewd, astute politician, who years before the opening of the play had been mixed up in & compromising affair in Vienna, but who has outlived his early wrongdoing and is pursuing the paths of rectitude. When he married his 5 Rhoda, she imagined him an idealist, with tbe most exalted aspirations, and though she is becoming disgusted at his bumdrum devotion to routine business, she little guesses that he has a secret to hide. It is the obf‘ect of the Home Secretary’s life to conceal from his wife that he is a man with a “past”; his secret, however, Field, and the discovery of her parentage awaken a host of reminiscences. Some time in the thirties there lived 1n Boston two sisters named Riddle who married actors. Everybody in the forties knew their brother, “Dick” Riddle. I think it was the eldest sister who married Harry Smith, an English gentleman by birth, whose real name was Seiton. For many years he was the leading man at the Tre- mont Theater and was afterward stage manager and leading old man at the Bos- | ton Museum, where his portrait can now | be seen. | Mrs. Smith took to comedy and farce, and in all my experience of the stage she had no superior in her own line, being re- fined, cultivated, sprightly and correct. Both she and her husband 1 ved more than half a century too soon, | ut they did great service in making the Amci.can stage. fore appearinz in St. Petersburg before the imperial family. John Drew’s new prodaction for next season will be “A Man in Love.” Johann Strauss'- latest opers, '_'W"Jd' nywisber,” has 1ade a great hit in New ork. Herbert Kelcey goes direct to England after his stay with the stock company at the California. Sir Henry Irving cabled to the Mayor of 8t. Louis: “Have mailed you $1000.

At the matinees the highest price will be 50 cents. ““The Gray Mare,” Sims & Raleigh’s new comedy-drama will consti- tute the bill for the second week. Columbia Theater. To-morrow night the Frawley Company will produce De Mille and Belasco’s well- known play, “A Charity Ball.”’ 1itis a Lyceum Theater success, and has always been considered one of the best works of its anthors. The cast will include the strength of the Frawley Company. Frank Worthing will appear as John Van Buren, the rector of St. Mildred's; Macklyn Ar- buckle will be Franklin Cruger, the King of Wall street; Harry Corson Clarke will be Judge Peter Gurney Knox; Miss Max- ine Elliott will be Ann Cruger, and the rest of the cast will include Dan Fraw- ley, George Bosworth, George W. Leslie, | Wilson Enos, Frank Thompson, Little | Mildred, Thomas Phillips, Blanche Bates, | Hope Ross, Madge Carr Cook, Phosa Mc: Allister and Gertrude Berkeley. Among the attractions which Messrs. Friedlander, Gottlob & Co. announce as | being booked for the Columbia Theater are: The Holland brothers in two new blays, Lillian Russell, Georgie Cayvan, ph. Murphy, “The Parlor Match,” with William Hoey and a specialty com- pany; Fauny Rice, Henderson’s new pro- duction of ““The Crystal Slipper,” Edward Harrigan and his company, “The Twen- | tieth Century Girl,” “The Cotton King,” | “Humamty’ and “0ld Jed Prouty.” Palmer’s ““Trilby” Company will follow | the Frawley Company, coming from their Australian tour. Grand Opera-House. To-day sees the final performances of ‘“‘Brotner Against Brother'’ at the Grand, and to-morrow night there will be a re- vival of Thompson’s popular comedy- drama “New York Day by Day,” a piece that appeals to varied tastes. The story opens with three miners in Australia dividing their savings. One dies, leaving to his partuers his share of the fortune to be carried home to his wife and blind child. The trust is betrayed, and on this foundation four acts fu{l of incident are established. The villain and | the blind girl move about from the Bat- tery to Harlem Bridge, taking in the low and high street scenes of the metropolis. “New York Day by Day’’ wili be hand- somely staged and mounted with every care. The role of Rags, the street gamin, will be played by Leslie Morosco. In ithe made a great hit some two years since, his | twelve-foot dive, head foremost, into the | river off Harlem Bridge, being the sensa- | tional feature of the play. Grover’s Alcazar. “The Little Detective,” of which notices will be tound in another column, will run | for six more days at Grover's Alcazar. | On Saturday next Eimund Collier's en- gagement commences, when the three | stars, Edmund Collier, Amy Lee and Frank Doane, will appear in the melo- drama, *‘The Cross Roads of Life,” which will be carefully produced with regard to scenery, cast and details. Popuiar prices continue to prevail at this theater. There will be matinees on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Tivoli Opera-House. The romantic opera, “Lorraine,” will continue to be sung all this week. The company has been greatly strengthened by the engagement of Miss Marie Millard, the new soprano, and the re-engazement for a short season of the popular soubrette Louise Royce. On Monday evening, June 22, the scenic spectacle, ““A Trip to the Moon,” will be presented with a good many scenic effects and ballet and many mnovelties in song, dance and humor. After this the short season of grand opera will be given. At the Orpheum. The chief attraction at the Orpheum this | week will consistof the Marlo-Dunham fam- | ily whoare said to have added greatly to the difficuity and interest of their feats since they were here two years ago. When here before the Marlo-Dunhams did all their | acrobatic work on the stage. They now do the same difficult work in-midair, wo k ing on horizontal bars arranged over i..c audience. It is their boast that these feats are not attempted by any other acrobats in the country off the stage. The Marlo-Dunham family consists of six people, all trained acrobats. Lawrence and Harrington are announced as the original Buweg boy and gir]' and they | will give “The Bowery Spielers,” a comedy sketch which made a hit at Tony Pastor's. Another feature of their work will be the “Walla Walla Hall’’ dance. The vitascope wiil be re-enforced with a new series of moving pictures, and Papinta promises to have more brilliant colors than ever thrown on her dances.

Another stroke of genius was his arrangement of a series of tableaus at the Tremont Theater representing differ- ent characters in Dickens’ novels, for the entertainment of the author, who was paying his first yisit to America. Field, however, was too brainy and refined for the multitude, which s attracted by Forrest, Kirby and the like. The faniiy finally went to New Orleans, where Field won a National reputation as a sparkling writer in the Picayune over the signature of ‘‘Straws.” Afterward he and his wife returned to Boston for one or two seasons, and then I lost sight of them. I suppose they shared the fate of strug- gling ability, when the stage was not so popular as it is now. Kate Field’s genius from her parents. PARsONs SHAW. National City, Cal.

Nat Goodwin is bookea for June 22 and 23, opening with *‘In Mizzoura.” Sang Too Cheap. One of the dramatic papers gives an amusing story of what happened on board one of the great liners eastward bound re- cently. Among the passengers were Neth- ersole and Calve. Of course, there was the usual concert for the benefit of sailors and sailors’ widows. Nethersole sold orchids at auction and sold them at handsome prices. “‘How much am I bid for this one?” suddenly asked the Nethersole, displaying a particularly fine specimen. “T’ll give $50 for that flower,”” dramat- ically remarked Bronson Howard, rising from his chair, “‘if Mme. Calve gives usa song with the flower.”’ | Calve, after a little coaxing, sang-one of the songs of Massenet and sang it su- perbly. = Afterward she said: “Too cheap! Fifty dollar! Too cheap! What wilP Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau say when they hear I sing for fifty dollar?”’ Had l';.t:l';:ohen Him. F. N. Crouch, who wrote **Kathleen Ma- vourneen,” died some time ago at the age of 88. A few weeks before his death, so runs the story, he was walking down State street, Chicago, when a young man ap- proached him with outstretched hand. “How arp you?” asked the stranger. *‘Pretty well,” was the reply. “Don’t you know me, Mr. Crouch?”’ “No, I do not; but if you are in the con- fidence line of business you had better track it, for I haven'y a red cent in all my pockets.” “That's splendid wheeze you are un- furling,” was the reply. “Why, I'm one of your sons; I’m Fred, the thirteenth child and fourth son.” ““Where were you born?” “In Baltimore, 1866,"” ““Chat’s right,”” was the answer of Mr. Crouch. “I thought I’d seen you before. You see, I was going to New York, but I guess I’il stay among the pigs for a few days, and then we will have some talks of bygones together.” Mr. Crouch remained in Chicago a week, and he and the thirteenth child became quite intimate. 3 Dramatic Brevities.

THE N TLY AMFJ“E; £ “uflfissflili H GRADE Gl FOR_TWO YEARS. 324 POST ST.SF. ALL LATHE WORK A.L.BANCROFT & WILL PURCHASE A FARM. The Presbyterian Orphanage Selects Thirty Acres at San Anselmo. As Soon as the Purchase Money Is Raised Bu'lding Will Be B gun. The Board ot the San Francisco Orphan- ageand Farm met yesterday afternoon, and it was unanimously resolved to pur- chase a thirty-acre tract of land near the Presbyterian Theological Seminary at San Anselmo. The land is said to contain all the re- quirements for making the orphanage and farm an ideal institution. Tt is rolling ground, is well watered winter and sum- mer and contains a fine avenue of trees, on which the various buildings will be erected. Another advantage is its near- ness to the seminary, which will enable the children of the orphanage to attend Sunday-school and the inmates of the proposed Old Ludies’ Home to attend sesvices, if they desire to do so. The price of the property is $6000, and though not much more than $500 has already been pledged, the ladies of the board are confident that they will be en- abled to raise the $5500 before long. Long experience in charitable work has taught them not to build till there is no debt on the land. At the meeting last Monday eight of the ladies present pledged them- selves to raise $100 each. ¥esuerday one of these ladies reported that Mrs. H. T. Crocker had given $100, and it is under- stood that the other ladies are working hard to bring in the amount for which they are pledged within a short time. In addition to these eight pledges $400 has also been promised. Mrs. P. D. Browne, the president of the board, has a number of plans on hand for raising the purchase money within as short a time as possible. It is possible that the Presbyterian Sunday-schools all over the State will be requested to offer 10-cent pledges to the pupils, and the Christian Endeavor societies and the King’s Daughters will also be requested to take 10-cent pledges. As soon as the purchase money is raised work will be begun in earnest on the buildings on the farm. The Old Ladies’ Home will go up first, for the money to build it is already donated. The next building will be an emergency cottage, in which orphbans, half-orphans and desti- tute children will be received without any red-tapeism till their cases can be investi- | gated. Y General McComb, for instance, of the Society for the Prevention oi Crueity to Children, will be able to send children to this cottage while their cases are being investigated. Although the orphanage is | under the care of the Presbyterian church, it is quite undenominational with regard to its inmates. The present buiiding of the orphanage at San Rafael is overcrowded with its seventy inmates, so that as soon as ever | funds will permit a new home will be built at San Anseimo, where the children will all be taught a trade. Those wh> desire to learn farming will have excellent opportunities of doing so, for it is pro- | posed to cultivate the imd and raise vege- tables as well as butter, eggs, etc . - VETOED CONTRACTS. Acting Mayor Taylor Thinks They Should Have Been Awarded to the Highest Bidder. Acting Mayor Taylor vetoed three con- | tracts.let by the Board of Supervisors to | Mau, Sadler & Co., Webster Jones and S. Foster & Co. yesterday on the ground that they were illegal. The contracts were for supplies for public institutions and the Pacific Marine Supply Ccmpany was the lowest bidder in each instance. Com- | plaint was made to the board that on pre- vious occasions the supply company had failed to furnish sugar of the grade speci- fied and on_ this ground the tender was | rejected and the second highest accepted. n his veto message Acting Mayor Tay- lor says that the law plninFy states that in case the lowest bid is not accepted, through the incompetence of the bidder or other reason, the board must advertise for new bids. He further states that in this case the incompetence of the supply company can hardly be urged in the face of the fact that its bid on eleven other articles were accepted, and recommends that the company be given the contract.
