30 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 23, 1896. “a, O (¥ 2AT "Ry ] §THE "M FAVOR. t ORPHEYM The din of the theatrical season in- creases. Announcement follows an- nouncement. One of the Eastern dra- matic writers alleges that the ‘‘hard times'’ are causing the managers and act- ors to get in their work early. The ban- ners handing on the outer walls tell which way the theatrical procession will move for many weeks to come. Actors who have good engagements are envied by those who have none, and there is a rush | to get in early. This is the substance of what is told in a column perspiringly con- tributed to an Eastern journal when every editorial-room was a “hot box” indeed, | with a temperature crowding ‘100 degrees above.” So be it, if this proves to be the general condition of affairs, while it may be bad for the Thespians, the manager will have no excuse for filling up his companies with a substratum of sawdust and red paint. The real, Simon pure actor ought to be found in abundance in the lesser number of companies to travel the cir- cuits. revel in seeing the work brought upward to the standard fixed by the popular un- derstanding of what nature and natural acting mean. Whatis bad for the actor may be good for the audience, if the man- agers have a chance to take their pick of the talent. Probably, however, the East- ern writer has overstated the case. All over the country the European operatic stars are coming in for a gentle | “roast” for reasons heretofore alleged. The public will watch with much curi- osity the outcome of the farce, which might fairly be entitled “Wanted: Every- thing in Sight, or Nothing,” according to one view of the case. But the more direct gaze of the public will be fixed on the local stages in the im- mediate future. The attractions of a week are mentioned below. At the Baldwin. The second 4nd last week of “The Gay asif the second week will be fully as large. The company is a remarkably good one and reflects credit upon Manager Charles Frohman. W. J. Ferguson, who made an impression a long while since as Mor- timer, the valet in ‘‘Bean Brnmmell,” is always a comedian of the first considera- tion. In this play he is the gay Parisian who takes the other man’s pretty wife out for the evening. His conception of the character of the man, momentarily prompted to do something risky in spite of his own inclination to be henpecked, to roll back twenty yearsof the past, eradi- cate his wife, who is an old bore, and make a night of it, does not suggest a caricature, as is usual, but a real bit of amusing human nature. Mr. Ferguson keeps the humor of the situations »icely balanced between comedy and farce and his playing is very enjoyable throughout. As the wife, the personal attractions of such a player as Sadie Martinot are in keeping. Miss Martinot is well fitted to appear at the head of such a clever com- pany of comedy artists. Her husband is forcibly presented by Charles Wells. The character of an old widower, who stutters whenever the weather is damp, and who besides has four young daughters dangling about him, is enacted by a capital personator of eccentric parts, James Bar- rows, who should be recalled in the char- acter of the old sergeant in *‘Shenandoah.” In his way Mr. Barrows is quite as finished a comedian as Mr. terguson. He con- tributes a great deal of humor to several situations in this play. It is he who holds the clew to all the complications that seem about to be revealed at the final climax; but a thunder-storm gives him impedi- ment of speech at the critical moment. This is a neat bit of invention on the part of the playwrights. Mrs. E. J. Phiilips does someexcellent work as the wife of the advice-giver. Margaret Gordon plays the French servant with a captivating chic, and as a matter of fact, there 1s not a badly played character in the entire piece. The last performance of “The Gay Pari- sians” will be given next Sunday night, August 30. Galifornia Theater. To-night at the California Theater the public will see the last performance of Chauncey Olcott’s prosperous engagement at that popular theater. The bill for to- mght will be “The Minstrel of Clare,” the same that has been entertaining auaiences during the past week at that well-known playhouse. The performance is one that offers an unusual amount of enjoyment for lovers of tbis class of drama. After a closure of two weeks, beginning with to-morrow night the California The- ater will offer a decidedly novel and suc- cessful melodramatic production, **On the Bowery,” which will bring out as the cen- tral figure of many exciting and thrilling incidents the famous Steve Brodie. Be- sides doing that it sets forth an exciting sensational story and contains a number of most amusing character studies. Bome of thescenes are notonly very handsome but also quite different in de- scription from uny ever shown with any other piay. The saloon scene 1s unique by reason of the veculiar decorations of Brodie’s place on the Bowery. The Brook- lyn bridge scene is a novelty. The spec- tator seems to look along 800 feetof a northern driveway. This effect was ob- tained by the scenic artist, John H. Young. The pier scene, with the ware- house, watchhouse and shipping, also is The patron of the box office will | Parisians’’ is announced at the Baldwin. | The hit the farce made can best be told by the enormous business it did and it looks | triumph both in Europe and this country. She has fully recovered the use of her splendid voice and will doubtless duplmns her great success in *'1l Trovatore. Signor Michelena will sing his favorite role of Alfred Germont; Signor Maurice de Vries, the noble role of Georges Germont, his father. The remaining roles will be in good hands. On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings Mascagni’s celebrated drama in two acts, ‘‘Cavalleria Rusticana,” will be rendered, preceded by the balcony _ln'd’ marriage scenes from “Romeo and Juliet. The cast from *‘Cavalleria Rusticana” will /J FERGU S°N. Mfiq \f':g(,m PARISIANS The . BALDW o sogo0otepofofefelefofegodeds quite unlike any stage wharf scene. The second act, which isalmost as longas all the other acts put_together, is a series of laughable scenes in Steve Brodie's Bow- ery refreshment resort. As many funny things as might occur in the real saloon | in a month are compressed in this single act. The Golumbia Theater. “The Social Trust’” will have its first production on any stage at the Columbia Theater to-morrow evening. “The Bocial Trust” is a new play written especially for the Frawley Company by the two well- known authors, Hillary Bell and Ramsay Morris. Itisa comedy-drama, the story of which is founded upon the incidents | connected with the famous Cordage Trust. The play will have the advantage of inter- pretation at the hands of the Frawley Company, including Wilton Lackaye, Mrs. Thorndyke Boucicault, Miss Blanche L. Bates and all of the important mem- bers of the Frawley Company, including the reappearance of T. Daniel Frawley himself. For this production special scenery and stage effects have been got up, and it is not unlikely that following the present engagement the play will be taken to New York City for a run. The drama is replete with incidents. The main spring of action is the marriage of Frederick Brewster to Lillian Cornell. He is a New Yorker of social posi- tiop and is the head of the Cordage Trust. He married Lillian because it is necessary to raise money to carry on his schemes, although he is in love with Mrs. Hallock, wife of the originator of the Cordage Trust, and Lillian is in love with Charteris King, ayoung author. The marriage is repugnant to Lillian, of course. Brewster’s financial schemes fail and he tries to blackmail his wife. He has already risked her dowry. There are striking scenes following which include a quarrel between the husband and wife over the refusal of the latter to attend Mrs. Hal- | lock’s ball. The last act occurs in Brew- ster’s library, at 1 A. M., directly after the | ball. It shows his frantic endeavors to force money from Mrs. Morton, his wife’s aunt, through an attempt at blackmailing bis wife’s character. Mrs. Morton stands firm, refusing to believe ill of Lullian. Mrs. Nelson, the one person who can sustain his charge, and who knows that Lillian is innocent, although she unwittingly fell into the trap laid for her, is dragged into the scene. After much diplomatic hedging and equivocating she finally, when pinned down, uttersa deliberate lie and saves Lilhan. Almost at the same mo- ment Hallock discovers a note written by his wife to Brewster, and mad with ;eal. | ousy and rage he shoots the latter dead. Grand Opera-House. The attraction at Morosco’s Grand Opera-house during the coming week will be ‘A Nutmeg Match.”” This is a charac- ter study of rural life in Connecticut. There are striking incidents in the four acts, which include an attempted murder by means of a piledriver which is averted by the opportune arrival of the heroine. A piledriver, operated by a regnlar steam engine, ison the stage. The play has been produced in this City before, so that the story is familiar to all theater-goers. The author is William Haworth, who wrote “The Ensiw)‘ The stars of the cast will be Lottie Williams, soubrette; Edward J. Heron, low comedian.” The Grand Opera- house has been doing a fine business dur- ing the past week. In “A Nutmeg Match” Lottie Williams takes the role of Cinders, and Mr. Heron will be George Washing- ton Littlebales. TJivoli Opera-House. The eighth week of the season of Eng- lish and Italian grand opera at the Tivoli Opera-house will be devoted on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday evenings to elaborate presentations of Verdi’s lyric drama in four acts founded upon the younger Dumas’ celebrated story, ‘“La Dame aux Camellias,” well known in English as the emotional story and drama of “Camille.” In the role of Violetta Valery Mme.

For thé ninth week, by special request, ‘Rigo- letto” will be given with Signor M. de | Vries as the jester; also Verdi’s historical opera “Ernani.” Great preparations are being made for a scenic revival of Verdi's “Aida.” At the Orpheum. Another great bill of vaudeville stars and novelties is announced at the Orpbeum for this week. It issome time since a ma- gician has been seen in the Orpheum orin the City, for that matter. One of the most clever of such on the vaudeville stage has been secured. Albini was seen there years ago and was counted as exceptionally clever at that time. He has just com- pleted a tour of the world and he returns loaded with paraphernalia, ideas and won- ders. Mr. Albini is the inventor of all the tricks that he performs. Newspapers and magazines have given a great deal of space to accounts of the mysteries of In- dia, occultism, hypnotism and the mar- vels of magic. Albini devotes his time to the marvels of magic and East Indian mysteries and gives a most pleasing entes- tainment. Richard Pitrot, an excellent mimic, will appear in impersonations. Heisa wonder- ful facial artist. It is expected that he will make even a bigger hit this time at the Orpheum than he did a few years ago at the Bush-street Theater. Miss Nellie Maguire will appear in character songs. Favor & Sinclair, who made sucha hit last week, have some new things to tell and sing about. Mr. Favor will, however, con- tinue to sing ‘‘Girl Wanted,” the song that has won him so_many encores. The | bill will also include Mildred Howard, the Trilby dancer; Sydney de Gray, Herr Techow’s trained cats, the Nelson Sisters and others, including hiondl, whoremains for one week more, but this will positively be hig last appearance ¥n this City. He has been one of the greatest drawing cards that the Orpheum has ever had. The new Wein-Stube opens this week, and promises to be popular as an annex to the Orpheum. Matinees on every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. At the Alcazar. The Alcazar Theater, under the new management of Belasco, Doane & Jordan, opens to the public Monday, August 31. The opening production will be Nat Good- win’s laughable comedy, “Turned Up.”’ The cast, with the exception of the lead- ing man, is as follows: Amy Lee, Adele Belgarde, Miss May Buckley, Miss F. M. Bates, Mrs. Henry Vanderhoff, Hattie Foley, Rosella La Faille, Frank Doane. J. B. Polk, F. B. Clayton, Rickardson Cotton, Carl Smith, W. A. Belasco. At the Chutes. Every novelty obtainable is constantly presented at the Chutes on Haight street and the grounds are full of life every after- noon and evening. The scenic railway, trolley, chutes, merry-go-round and other nerve-freshening devices are constantly in operation. ‘‘Joe Storms,’” the only orang- outang in America, will be seen for the last time here to-day. At 4:30 o'clock this afternoon Emil Markeberg, who is withont doubt the most daring aeronaut on earth, will make an- other balloon ascension and parachute drop. Last Sunday he went up with his balioon on fire, effected a safe landing and helped extinguish his blazing airship when it got back to the ground. Performances are given at the Casino every evening and Saturday and Sunday afternoons. The bill for the ensuin week will include the De Fiilipis. whirfi wind dancers; a Japanese conjurer and a troupe of Japanese acrobats, Grace Lee nore, a girl cornetist, ana vocalists and character impersonators. Notes From All Quarters. l&lggia Cline will bring out her new piece, “On Broadway,” for a tour of the coast. “The Prisoner of Zenda” will make its first tour of the country this coming sea- son. It will be seen at the Baldwin Octo- ber5. Jumes K. Hackett and Isabel Irv- ing are in the cast. *The Foundling,” with Cissy Fitzgerald at the head of the company, Will come to the coast this season. There is to be a regular performance of #*The Gav Parisians” at the Baldwin Thea- ter to-night (Sunday ““The Gay Parisians,” under the title of “A Night Qur,” still continues to crowd the Vaudeville Theater, London. Miss Rose Adler will be tendered a fare- well testimonial on August 15, prior to her departure for the Berlin Operatic School. Georgia Cayvan has begun_rehearsals at Palmer's Theater in New York City for her starring tour, which begins on Octo- ber 3. . The great Lyceum Theater success, “The Wife,” will be the next play at the Columbia Theater, to follow ‘‘The Social Trast.” The most elaborate preparations are being made scenically for “The Social Trust,” which is to be given for the first time upon the stage at the Columbia Theater. *“Trilby” is still booming in Australia. Jennie Reiffarth’s Madame Vinard is pro- nounced the best of old-woman acting that has been seen on the Australian stage in a long time. A large number of tickets are heing dis- posed of by Court Golden State No. 22, F. of A., for tleir benefit nights, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next, at th2 Columbia Theater. The entire tour of “Chimmie Fadden” will be under the management of Messrs. Friedlander, Gottlob & Co., of the Colum- bia Theater. There is considerable inter- est manifested in its performance here, E. M. and Joseph Holland entertained Henry Guy Carleton at Quisett, Cape Cod, last week, where they listened to “Two Men of Business,’’ the new play which Mr. Carleton has writteu for them. A special department of instruction in operatic acting will be added to the Co- lumbia Theater School of Dramatic Art, and Professor Roeckel and Cantor Stark are mentioned in connection with the corps of instructors. Sutton Vane's great play ‘‘Humanity,”” “The Cotton King” and “Old Glory,” a comedy-drama new to the coast, will all be presented here by William_ A. Brady, in- cluding Joseph Grismer and Pheebe Davies, at the Columbia Theater. Robert Hilliara will ot present his new comedy, “The Mummy,” at the outset of his season, but will produce it some time along in the early part of next year. He will open his seagson in his great success, “Lost—Twenty-four Hours.” The interest in New York regarding the early appearance of the Mapleson Opera Company in that city is said to be most unusual. The colonel hassecured an array of talent for his company and the reper- toire which he intends to present will con- tain some decided novelties. Thirteen young ladies and gentlemen of the Columbia Theater School of Dramatic Art assisted in the performance of the ‘‘Masqueraders’’ Jast week with Charles ¥rohman’s Empire Theater Stock Com- pany. One of the graduates, James Keane, played a small part eifectively, The companw that will present Scott Marble’s comedy - drama ‘‘Tennessee’s Pardner” next season, inciudes Harry Mainhall, Charles B. Hawkins, Hsther Williams, Jane Emerson and otber players of ¢qual prominence. Arthur C. Aiston wiil manage the tour and T. J. Meyers will be the representative. Chauncey Oleott will begin "a three nights’ engagement at the Macdonough Theater in Oakland, presenting ‘‘Mavour- neen” on Monday evening, “The Irish Artist” on Tuesdav night and the ““Min- strel of Clare” on Wednesday. Seats are now on sale at popular prices. The Re- | liance Club of Oakland will attend the first performance of **Mavourneen.” The English version of Sardou’s Na- poleonic play, “Madame Sans Gene,” will be presented for the first time in this City at the Baldwin Monday evening, August 3L Aside from Napoleon the chief figure is Catherine Hubscher, the laundry girl who married Lefebre and shared with him his honors when he became Marshal of France and Duke of Dantzig. The scene | of the prologue is in Catherine's laundry in Paris during the French revoiution. The street without is filled with skurrying soldiers and revolutionisis. Catherine 1s engaved to Lefebre, who is a sergeant in the army, and one of Ler customers is Na- poleon, ‘who is obliged to ask Catherine for credit. Nineteen years elapse between the first act, and Napoleon is then at the height of his power. His sisters become angry at Mme. Lefebre and tie Empe- ror orders her husband to divorce her. She pleads her own cause so weil that she secures a high p-ace in Navpoleon’s favor. Kathryn Kidder essays the part of Cathe- rine Hubscher and Augustus Cook is the Napoleon. Theczstand thestaze settings are the same as 1n t::n original produetion. The popular tragedian, Frederick Warde, goes East this week and will commence his next season at Richmond, Va., on the 21st of September. He intends to make “King Lear’ the principal play of his repertoire, and will_present it on a most elaborate scale, entirely in keeping with his usual manner of giving combplete pro- ductions. Later in the season he will bring out for the first time his new romantic play entitled, “Thé Rise of Iskander.” The dramatic recital given at San Lean- dro by Miss Retena Helen Owens, assisted by Mrs. Eva Wren, Edward Thornton and Miss A. Mabel Hussey, was a success of great merit. Miss Owens won the audi- ence by her natural grace and manner. Her ability as a dramatic reader was shown in her rendition of ‘‘Hagar” by Nichoison. Her other numbers, including Merrill’s “Soul of the Violin,” were well received. The musical numbers given were good. In relating her experiences with Euro- pean audiences, Mme. Bloomfield Zeisler says: “Those of the far north and the far south are warm, abpreciative and demonstrative. In the middle portion of the country they are calm and temperate. But everywhere they are more demon- strative than American audiences. It is harder to make a big success in America than there. If people are acknowledged here, they are sure of it there.”” Sydney Chidley of Morosco’s Grand Opera-house, the corresponding secretary for California of the Protective Alliance of Bcenic Painters, has received intimation from the president of the alliance that the National Alliance of Theatrical Siage Em- ployes have passed at their convention at Detroit a resolution that after the first of January next no scenery will be handled unless painted by a mempver of the al- liance.

Miss Daisy Keane produced a well- meriled encore in a soprano solo. Mrs. dongstroth elicited much merriment by a recitation on negro mimicry.
