Fond mothers | of these unhappy babes went out and ! quieted the babes, but returned to be fur- ther penetrated by grief. Every night there was a full house. Now *“The Masqueraders” proceeds upon | a totally different plan. The author has collected in the compass of its few acis a very choice aggregation of social nonde- scripts, probably through a desire to sat- | irize pretense, and has given them lines | which are sardonic but very witty. Un- questionably the dialogne is clever and undoubtedly the epigrams are good. But the audience did not appland one of these sentiments. When, however, the heroine weeps and bemoans ner sad fate, and when at another time she thinks that her child is about to be taken from her, the | audience was with her to a man and woman and felt that their emotions had been properly stirred. So also the “Bo- hemian Girl” number that was most called for was the ballad about “The Heart Bowed Down.” This week the atiractions are good, musically as well as dramatically. The advancement of the season is indicated by the announcement that the Alcazar will be reopened thes. first week in September. Fashion is turning homeward from the country and the seashore, and the theaters will soon show the effect of their ingress, The general announcements for the forth- coming week are given below- Baldwin Theater. A French comedy written on lively lines is what “The Gay Parisians,"which will be presented at the Baldwin to-morrow night, is said to be. The play was done in New York at Hoyt's Theater in the be- ginning of last season and met with such tremendous favor that it crowded out Hoyt’s own plays and held possession of the house for over 200 nights. It is an adaptation of the French farce “Hotel de Libre Exchange,” which has been running at the Nouveaute Tbueater, Paris, for over a year, and it follows the lines of the orig- inal so closely that Charles Frohman, who owns the piece, ciaims that it is a free wranslation of the Paris play. ‘William J. Ferguson is at the head of the company, ana the part he plays gives him fine obportunities. Sadie Martinot is the leading lady and the other members of the company are James O. Barrows, C. B. Wells, W. 8. Shirley, Sully Marshall, Frank Durant, Louis Hendricks, Vaughn Glaser, Frank A. Connor, Mrs. E. J. Phil- lips, Margaret Gordon, Claire Rodrigue, Ver:ie Graves, Nellie McCaul, Judith Bordeaux and Frank Morris, This is the story of “The Gay Parisians.” It seems that Mr. Paillard is a gentleman whose business is not exactly understood by his wife. The business takes him away from home often and keeps him out ail night sometimes, He explains as best he With the aid of Mr. Pinglet, wiro is old enough to know better and who has a very jealous wife of his own, she arranges a programme of rash and reckless con- duct. She will go out for an evening her- self and see what this thing of “‘being with the boys” means. Pinglet agrees to chaperone her on this desperate occasion and succeeds in getting away from Mrs. Pinglet, whom bhe tells that he has an ex- traordinary engagement at the other end of town. Mrs. Paillard and her quaint knight, who is almost old enough to be her fatber, go to the theater and later visit a restaurant, where they order a fine supper. But they are not destined to have an evening of unalloyed delight. A dozen things happen to disturb and threaten them with discovery. First of ali Mr. Paillard has business 1n that very restaurant and is in the room opposite to that assigned to the carousing couple. Then a stuttering friend with four chat- tering giris drops in on them. G: osts create trouble. Spying waiters bore auger holes into Pinglet's back. The police raid the restaurant, Pinglet and Mrs. P | are arrested and there is a lot of trouble. The police carry the news to Mrs. Pinglet, and for a while it looks 2s 1f the tangle of jollity would never be solved. But the offenders escape scot free in the end and everybody is happy. At the Columbia. Tt has been decided to continue Augustin Daly’s “Great Unknown” at the Columbia Theater during another week, the recep- tion which it has met with having recom- mended it to the management for a longer run than was at first planned for it. “The Social Trust,” which was originally billed, has been postponed until a week from Monday, August 24. Great preparations are being made for the first performance of this comedy-drama upon any stage. “The Social Trust” was written especially for the Frawley Company by the two well- known authors, Hilary Bell and Ramsay Morris. It is a comedy-drama, the story of which is founded upon the incidents connected with the famous Cordage trust. 1t is said that the playwrights have em- bodied the intensely dramatic features of the career of the trust and have drawn their characters rrom life with accuracy and truthfulness. The play will have the advantage of 1nterpretation at the hands of the Frawley Company, which inciudes ‘Wilton Lackaye, Mrs. Thorndyke Bouci- cault, Miss Blanche L. Bates acd ail of the important members of the Frawley Company, incluaing the reappearance of T. Daniel Frawley himself. For this pro- duction special scenery and stage effects have been got up and it is not unlikely - that following the present engagemen? the play will be taken to New York City for a run. California Theater. To-night will mark the- last performance of “The Irish Artist.” Chauncey Olcott to-morrow night will present a new play entitled “The Minstrel of Clare.”” This latter piece was given in New York last spring and ran for two weeks to crowded houses. It was written by the late Fred Marsden and depicts peasant life in County Clare in the middle of the present century. It mainly deals with the land question and tells a storv of gambling, ruin znd_love. A young Irish-American, Larry O'Lyan, has returned to Ireland to claim an estate bequeathed to his father by Cecil Wynbert. The elder O’Lynn, having been identitied in the rebellion of 1848, fled to America, and on his deathbed admonishes his son to return to Ireland and claim the estate as the heir. He bids him to seek out his old friend, Morris Cregan, and obtain the latter’s ad- vice and assistance. The scene opens at Cregan’s farm. Larry arrives and meet- ing Cregan’s daughter, Nellie, at once proceeds to fall in love with her. She does not reciprocate, however, and the battle of words between them 1sone of the vrincipal comedy features of the play. Cregan’s son has become involved in a gambling scrape and is about to be ruined by Mat Dougan, when Larry comes to the rescue and helps bim out. In the mean- time a cousin of Cecil Wynoert, Robert, has taken possession of the Wynbert es- tate in face of the fact that there has been no will found and he is the next of kin. He has set a covetous eye on the Cregan farm, which adjoins his'place, and seeing the possibility of enhancing the beauty of his place if the Cregan farm were his, iie makes overtures to Cregan for the sale of the farm. The old farmer indignantly refuses and Wynbert in a rage swears to make him give itup. To this end he procures the services of one Mat Dougan, a bitter foe of the Cregan family, to buy up the gambling notes of young Cregan, which he holds can, but Mrs. Paillard cannot firnp allthe points of his explanations. She very fool- ishly arrives at the conclusion that Mr. over the head of the old man. Cregan fearing disgrace and being unable to meet th_' notes with ready money is about to MR FRANK WORTHING AT THE COLUMBIA. AT TAL TivOL. sell the farm to Wynbert, when Larry steps in and proves his right to the owner- ship of the Wynbert estate, and a first- class eviction follows with the landlord on the wrong side of the case. Of course Nel- lie and Larry are united and the siory ends prettily enough to pleate any Irish au- dience. The scenery of the *“Minstrel of Clare” is on the same scale as both of the previous Pitou productions and the cos- tuming is also a feature. The part of Larry O'Lynn is said to be particularly well suited to Mr. Olcott, being a character most natural to him, that of an Irish- American. He introduces several new songs, some of which are of his own com- position. The play will be given with the some cast as that seen in the other pieces. At the Tivoli. The seventh week of the grand opera season under the direction of Gustav Hinrichs at the Tivoli Opera-house will be devoted to the careful presentation of Verdi’s wondrously popular opera, “Il Trovatore.” The cast will include Sig. Michelena and Martin Pache, who will al- ternate as Manrico the troubadour, Sig. Maurice de Vries and John J. Raffael as the Count de Luna, Sig. Abramoff and Richard Karl as Ferrando. Mme. Natali and Nina Bertini Humphreys as Leo- nora. The popular contralto, Miss Flora Finlayson, formerly of the Bosto- nians and Lilljan Russell and Herald-square opera companies, will make her first appearance at this house as Azucena, the gypsy mother, which role will also be essayed by Bernice Holmes, The smaller parts will be in the hands of Irene Mulle, Edward Torpi and Signor Na- poleoni. Special scenery, correct cos- tumes and appropriate accessories wil! all garnish the production. Preparations are soing on for the forthcoming presenta- tions of the divine inspirations of Verai’s “Aida,” also hisdramatic story *“‘La Travi- ata,”” Bellini’s tuneful “La Sonnambula,” =nd the first presentation west of New York of Humperdink’s fairy overa, ‘‘Han- sel and Gretel.” Morosco’s Graud Opera-House. After a week of sixteenth century ro- mance Manager Morosco brings his com- pany right up to date and is to produce the noted naval melodrama,**The Ensign.” The interesting story of love and war told in “The Ensign” has always been vopular. With its framework of Cuban scenery and the forbidding Morro Castie in the immediate foreground the play is even more attractive. It is to be staged with the greatest attention to detail, and the double deck of the great United States ship San Jacinto will be quite a marvel of the stage mechanic’s art. Mr. Brophy has been playing the title- role of *The Ensign” throughout the East for the past two years. This insures an artistic performance on the part of the star. To strengthen the cast a number of artists have been especially engaged for this week. W. L. Gieason, who was one of the original cast, has been engaged to take the role of Coxswain Jack Dudley, and little Mildred, the clever child actress who made a great success of the part with -the Fraw- leys, is to be Mary, the cousin of the heroine, Alice Greer, a part to be filled by Kate Dalelish. George Olmi, J. P. Winters and Agnes Rankin have also been specially engaged. arry Benrimo, a youngz local actor who has won pre-eminence by his mastery of the art of make-up, is to be Abruham Lincoln. Leslie Morosco will appear for the first time since a serious spell of sick- ness. This will be the final week of Mr. Brophy’s engagement. To commemorate the fact, a handsome photographic souve- nir of Mr. Brophy, beuing a fac-simile of the handsome young actor’s autograph, is to be distributed to the ladie: Monday night’s performance. The Orpheum. The new people at the Orpheum for this week include Mildred Howard and Syd- ney DeGray, also Favor and Sinclair. Miss Howard is a very graceful dancer and is said to make a fine stage appear- ance. She will introduce her sensational Trilby dance. Mr. DeGray, a noted barytone, will render the latest song suc- cesses. Favor and Sinclair are credited with being very clever comedians, and to make no end of furi in the comedy sketch, “The McGuires,” in which is pictured the every-day happenings in a plumber’s shop. Kennedy wil continge his seances of fun and merriment with hypnotic subjects changing his programme nightly. Some of the things Mr. Kennedy does he does not attempt to explain. His ex- hibitions at the Orpheum are very fumg. Biondi remains tor this week only. e has Eastern engagements that cannot be longer postponed. Were it Dot for this he might play on and on at the Orpheun: without his popularity wnnin§ in the least. He is one of the very bes drawing cards that the Qrpheum has had in many aday. Herr Techow’s cats are another pleasing feature, and the Black Patti will appear 1n a new repertoire of songs. The four Nelson sisters are per- forming greatt acrobatic acts. What is most pleasing about their work 1sthe ease and grace with which they perform the most_difficult feats. Altogether the new bill is very attractive and the crowded houses should continue. Matinees every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. The Alcazar. The Alcazar will be reopened during the first week in September under the man- agement of Belasco, Doane and Jordan, the lessees. Duringthe season the attrac- tions will include several new plays. The right to “The Ugiy Durckling,” which is the play in which hgrs. Leslie Carter made her first appearance, hus been secured from David Belasco. The name of other plays will be announced from time to time. At the Chutes. The chutes are growing more popular every day, and the continually varying at- tractions offered i the Casino and on the Haight-street grounds serve to crowd the place. Fredericks, the “demon cyclist,”” has been dashing down the long slide every night about five times as fast as the boats do, und this afternoon and evening he will 1epeat the feat for the last time in the City. Itisa most exciting ride, and the coaster appears to enjey it as much as the spectators. At 4:30 o’clock to-day Emil Markeberg, the daring aeronaut, wili make a balloon ascension and parachute drop. He is, without doubt, the nerviest man who ever came down from aloft. “Joe,”” the wonderful orang-outang who does everything but talk, will be on exhi- bition for the last times this week. He wili receive visitors every afternoon and evening. Cues From All Quarters. Chauncey Olcott’s last performance will be given Sunday, August 23. “The Fatal Card” is one of the attrac- tions for next season in this City. Fanny Bloomfield Zeisler will make a tour of the Pacific Coast 1n November. Nellie McHenry will begin her season in her new play, ‘A Night in New York,” at Long Branch on August 20. The Holland brothers have had an offer to go to Australia following their engage- ment on the coast. Charles Frohman is having 8 new play prepared in which heintends to star Sadie Martinot. The Imperial Opera Company is said to have secured the much-talked-of soprano, Susan Strong. The tour of Daniel Frohman’s company, presenting “The Prisoner of Zenda,” will inciude this City. The new play being written for Steve Brodie will be as highly sensational as his present piece, “‘On the Bowery.” One of the important attractions for the coming season at the Baldwin is James Hearne in “Shore Acres” and a new play. Dr. Gilbert Graham will sing several numbers at Miss Katharine White’s piano recital, which will take place at Golden Gate Hall next Tuesday evening. Edith Crane and Jennie Reiffarth will both appear in “Trilby” when it comes to the €olumbia Theater after the Frawley Company closes its engagement. Julia Marlowe will present her new play, “Romola,” during her coming engage- ment at the Baldwin. The play is from the pen of Elwyn Barrou. Anna Held, the great music-hall singer of Paris, has been engaged by Evans& Hoey for A Parlor Match” revival. Itis said that her salary is $1500 per week. “Town Topics” will be seen on the coast for the first time in November next. It is not unlike the Hoyt’s farce comedy, and is said to be full of good specialties. “The Tennessee’s Pardner,” a dramatic story of the hills, written by Scott Marble, will be one of the interesting plays to be presented at the €olumbia Theater this season. Joseph Grismer and Pheebe Davies are expected to arrive here shortly to spend a few weeks in San Francisco prior to their opening in *‘Humanity’’ at the Columbia Theater. A benefit performance will be tendered to the C. 8. C.’s at Saratoga Hall by the Lyceum players, Wednesday evening, Sep- tember 2, when ‘‘The Private Secretary” will be presented. Chauncey Olcott’s new song, ‘Home,” which he sings in the “Minstrel of Clare,” wus one of the big hits of last season in New York. It was whistled by all the street urchins till Olcott wished he had never written it. A great combined benefit will be ten- dered the Knights of the Red Branch, Knights of Tara and K. R. B. R fles at the California Theater on Monday night, when Chauncey Olcott will appear in the ““Minstrel of Clare.” There is considerable interest mani- fested in the first appearance of Georgie Cayvan at Palmer’s Theater as a star. It is said Miss Cayvan will revive ‘‘Squire Kate,”' in which her greatest success was achieved at the Lyceum Theater., ““The Great Unknown” has made the big- gest hit at the Columbia Theater of any comedy produced this season by the Fraw- ley Company. There are curtain calls nightly. Much interest is manifested in the production of “‘The Social Trust.” Miss Sadié Martinot, who will be seen in “The Gay Parisians” Monday night at the Baldwin Theater, was for years the lead- ing lady of Dion Boucicault, who once ex- claimeu: “She is a fine actress, soft and womanly. She is the real Colleen Bawn, and that is all one can say.” R. H. Stephens’ play, *‘On the Bowery,” will soon be presented here. The story deals with the real and fancied exploits of Steve Brodie. The scenes embrace a leap irom the East River bridge, a fire scene and rescue and *‘lite on_the Bowery,” in- cluding the intericr of Brodie’s saloon. At the Baldwin Theater, following “The Gay Parisians,”” Manager Augustus Pitou presents “Mme. Sans Gene.”” The play has no less than forly-two speaking parts, all of which are necessary to the deveiop- ment of the plot; and to perfectly inter- pret these characters not only an anusu- ally large but also an unusually intelligent company is required. Miss Retena Helen Owens gave a very successful dramatic reading of “Hagar” during the past week before the Native Sons of Vermont. She manifested con- scientious study and native ability. She ‘was well received. She has been engaged to give a recital at San Leandro od the 18th inst., when she will be assisted by Mrs. Eila Wren and others. The Macdonough Theater will reopen for the season under the management of Friealander, Goutlob & Uo. on Monday evening with the Empire Stock Company. The repertoire will be: Monday,.“The Masqueraders’”; Tuesday, “Bohemm”,- Wedpesday evening, *The Masqueraders, and at the special matinees the only per- formance of “The Benefit of the Doubt.” Owing to the death of an intimate friend of the family of Miss Katherine White her piano recital, which has beer an- nounced to take place on Tuesday evening, August 18, at Golden Gate Hall, has been postponea until Wednesday evening, STEPPED FROM THE BAR TO LETTERS A great many literary men, poets especially, have been lawyers or have been called to the bar, which is perhaps not quite the same thing. Cuming Walt- ers, an Englishman, points out that the present British laureate at one time prac- ticed at the bar; that Sir Lewis Morris can be claimed for the law, and that the same profession gave Stevenson to literature. Barry Cornwall had an extensive legal practice, and among others who ‘‘started toward the woolsack and branched off to Parnassus” are James Smith of “‘Re- jected Addresses,”’” Shirley Brooks, Sir Theodore Martin, W. 8. Gilbert and Calveriey. Among lawyers who have also done distinguished work in the realm of fancv are FErnest Myers, Herman Merivale, Sydney Dobell and Arthur Henry Hallam. Lord Macaulay was called to the bar at 26; then there was Sir Walter Scott, who attained the dignity of a ‘‘Shirra,” and among a host of others there are Stanley Weyman and Anthony Hope. Alto- gether, since the time of Bacon the legal profession has done a good deal for literatnre. Many of the greatest dra- matists — Wycherley, Beaumont, Ford, Congreve and others — were lawyers, but none of ‘them in sound knowl- edge of law equaled Shakespeare. Lord Campbell, a former Lord Chief Justice of England, in the year 1859 pub- lished a book entitled ‘‘Shakespeaie’s Legal Acquirements,” in which he sub- mitted three-and-twenty of the thirty- seven plays to a somewhat close examina- tion and deduced therefrom a large number of examples illustrative of legal knowledge or acquaintance with techni- cal terms on the part of the author. Abounding as are these law phrases, points and metaphors, the marvel 1s that they are slways accurate and appropri- ately used. There is never a mistake. “While novelists and dramatists,” says Campbell, “are constantly making mis- takes as to the law of marriage, of wills and of inberitance, to Shakespeare’s law, lavisnly as he propounds it, there can be no demurrer, no bill of exception, no writ of error.” NEW USES FOR THE HOMING PIGEONS Something new in the emvloyment of homing or carrier pigeons is about to be attempted in this locality. So much has been said concerning these birds during the past year thata genuine interest in their capabilities has been developed. The Navy Department, as previousiy has been published, has established stations for the use of shipping, and especially for the benefit of the navy, along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce has accepted an offer from A. Carlisle, a local pigeon-fancier, to provide pigeons for an experimental service between the Farallones and San Francisco, and steps | are being taken to make this offer effective. There is a physician in Antioch who takes pigeons around in | baskets and leaves them at houses where | the cases are such that his services may be promptly needed and the friends of the patients release the birds, which there- upon straightway notify their owner to call. The latest proposition is that sum- mer hotels and camping parties shall have pigeon service. Ardent lovers, parted by the cruel demands of business require- ments, may yet send messages flying back and forth. " While the young lady sighs, “Oh, send me a letter from home,” she may receive one every day or several times each day by emploving a sufficient number of birds. Shop- ping can be expedited between the stores and the summer hotels and another year it may not be unusual for the thopper to send her “samples” to their suburban destination by the swift wings of the bomers. To camping parties off the lines of travel and distant from telegraph offices, the pigeon offers facilities for find- ing out about business and also_for send- ing home the latest fishing and hunting stories. This plan is under consideration. NEW TO-DAY. No-To-Bae Mends Ners, Lost Life-Force Restored and Shattered Nerve - Power Quickly Repaired.
