DAY, AUGUST 30, 1S96. ADELE BELGARDE AlGAAR OTek €O ) MADAME SANS GENE Baows THEATRE 55L1=Euuc2\‘ g i uvnzouncfi\ After seeing *“A Social Trust” one won- ders whether Ramsay Morris and Hillary Bell put their heads together and decidea to write a purpose drama, without saying anything to the advance agent about the moral which adorns their tale. Anyway, whether it was their intention or not, they have succeeded in writing a pitiful com- mentary on the decline and fall of repub- lican simplicity. Talk about effete aristoc- racies! Why in Spain or Russia people could not barter and sell themseives more for ‘“‘social position’” than “A Social Trust” makes men and women do in New York. A contemptible, parvenu social ambition they show too, with no dignity of *‘noblesse oblige” to redeem it. The chief character, Brewster, looks upon his social position as a huckster looks upon his wares—something that will help him to rake in more shekels. He buys a wife with a dowry of a quarter of a million by promising to launch her family in the European swim and when the money is his he breaks his word and snubs and insults his wife and her family like a cur. Brewster also makes use of his precious ‘“social position” to dispose of watered stock among his friends of the Four Hundred and Daniel Hellock, his associate in fraud, has the men of New York society sc deep in his web that at his command they tremblingiy force their wives to attend the notorious Mrs. Hel- lock’s ball. If the state of society por- trayed in the drama is true to life, another clause should be added to the litany: “From New York social position, good Lord deliver us.” The curtain falls on good situations all through **A Social Trust,” and the last act is strongly dramatic. The worst of these situations is that they are too palpably prepared beforehand. What moves Char- teris King, for instance, to fling - his arms madly, passionately around Mrs, Brewster’s neck and vow that he loves her? It is not that he has received any encouragement from the lady or that the spot isopportune. Thereason he commits bhimself so violently is evidently because his doing so will make a good situation, tor in the nick of time the revengeful hus- band glowers in at the window. The burden of the acting falison Wilton TLackaye and Mrs. Thorndyke Bouecicault. The one-time Svengali shines as Brewster, but Mrs. Boucicault was not cut out by nature for emotional roles, and she makes a mistake in attempting them. The pain- ful way in which her pretty, fragile little voice breaks in the heavy scenes should show her that parts like Mrs. Brewster are not for her. In exclamations the autLors of *‘A Bocial Trust” have shown a woful want of imagination. They have one stock phrase, *“Oh! God,” which, is used under every stress of feeling by all the emotional char- acters in the play. English says he wishes he had never written “‘Ben Boit,”” and most of usare now ready to say a fervid “‘Amen, so be it.,”” Ben was all very well in his place, in fact, we cherished quite a liking for him, though we knew he must have a stern and morose character, or else why did Sweet Alice tremble with fear at his frown? In his days of modesty we were ready to overlook this, but when Du Maurier trotted him out of his sphere and gave him as much advertising as if he had been a new pill or an improved bicyele, Ben becume a nuisance. No household was complete without “ Ben Bolt,” and not only did he haunt the home, he was ubiquitous abroad. “Ben Bolt” was sung everywhere, except in the sanctuary; transcriptions of ‘‘Ben Bolt”” were spanked out of long-suffering pianos, hand-organs dinned him into our reluctant ears, and bands got hold of him and served him up in as many dif- ferent styles as there are of serv- ing up oysters, “Ben Bolt au naturel”; *‘moderato, con espressione,” ‘capric- closo assai,”” ‘‘arrabbiato, con fuoco.” etc., till “Ben Bolt” became something to flee from, and sensitive musicians were glad to take their summer vacations in mountain fastnesses or on the briny main, to escape from the eternal *Oh, don’t you remember sweet Alice ?”’ And now, just as people are returning to town and taking up again the cares and burdens of life, buoyed up by the faith that “Ben Bolt” has died a natural death and that life has one nightmare less, who should again resurrect the gentleman who has been so frequently admonished to re- member sweet Alice but the Orpheum! Syd- ney H.de Gray is the culprit who has been warbling ‘Ben Bolt,” and Mildred, his wife, has aided and abetted him by im- personating Trilby. Sygney is a pleasing vocalist, as theater-goers who heard him with the *Blue Jeans” company at the California will remember, but he should bear in mind that the Trilby craze has died out and that “Ben Bolt”” has per- ished with it. Of all barbarous and ridiculous freaks indulged in by theater-goers who pre- sumably love the drama not wisely but too well, is the freak of giving recalls in the middle of a scene. All the illusion is gone when the actors, as the climax to a harrowing and tearful dialogue, suddenly trip to the footlights smiling and bowing in response to a noisy recall. In ‘‘La Tra- viata’’ at the Tivoli last week the most touchingly acted scene in the opera was regularly broken into by the recall fiend, who insisted on having Germont back after he had bidden adien to the weepin, Violetta. After the recall the ladv burie her face in her handkerchief again, with a pretense at grief which the recall fiend had made as ridiculous as it was before touching. BALDWIN THEAJER. ‘“Madame Sans Gene” will receive its first San Francisco production to-morrow night at the Baldwin Theater. The pres- ent version is to be in English. The play is in three acts and a prologue. Aside from Navoleon, the chief figure isa laundry girl named Catherine Hubscher, who about the time of the fall of the Bas- tile marries Sergeant Lefebvre, a man who afterward becomes one of Napoleon’s Marshals and a Duke of the First Empire. At the parvenu court of Napoléon the ex-washerwoman'’s iree and easy manners win her the nickname of Mme. Sans Gene, and so shocked is the Emperor at her lack of ceremony that he commands Lefebvre to divorce his wife and take a woman of noble family. The poor Duke is 1n despair, but Catherine, rising to the occa- sion, has a personal interview ° with Napoleon, in which she reminds nim that she did his washicg in the days when he was only Captain Bonaparte of the artil- lery, and that he did not always settle his accounts; in fact she shows him an un- paid bill. The Emperor is so touched by this allusion to his early struggles that hgfv.ella Lefebvre that he may keep his wife. . The rest of the plot deals with an alleged intrigue between Napoleon's second wife. Marie Louise, and a young Austrian officer. Elaborate staging is promised. The Augustus Cook as company includes Napoleon and Kathryn Kidder as Mme. Sans Gene. GALIFORNIA THEATER. At the California Theater this afternoon and evening L. R. Stockwell will be ten- dered two testimonial benefits. During the afternoon there wilt appear among others Sadie Martinot, Mme. Natalie, J. Raffael, Wilton Lackaye, Harry Carson Clark, Blanche L. Bates, Maclyn Arbuckle, Edwin M. Favor, Edith Sinclair, E. J. Holden, George Montsarrat, the Fillj B the Carmen Mandolin Quartet and TKlie Morrisey. To-night the farewell performance of the dramatized version of “‘Carmen’ is to be the bill with Rose Coghlan, John T. Sul- ivan and the remainder of the cast which presented the play a short time since at the Caiifornia. e “On the Bowery,” a realistic melo- e Oefiupees ar e Cutes aTMoRosCos drama, in which_Steve Brodie is said to niave made a hit iu the East, will be played at the California Theater to-morrow week. TIVOLI OPERAIOUSE. Verdi’s ever popular opera “Ernani,’’ with Signor Michelena in the title-role, will be given to-morrow night at the Tivoli. John J. Raffael will {ake the 1m- portant part of Charles V, Signor Abram- hoff will be Don Silva, the grandee of Spain, and Mme. Natali will appear as Elvira, his niece and betrothed. ‘Ernani’’ will also be given on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday evenings. “Rigoletto,”” by special request, will be sung on Tuesaay, Thursday a nd Saturday evenings, as there is a general desire to hear Signor de Vries again in his fine im- ersonation of the title role. Mme. Nina ertini Humphreys will appear as Gilda. The remainder of the cast will remain the same as on_the former occasion, except that Miss Bernice H olmes will sing the role of Magdalena. For the tenth week of the season a special presentation of Verdi's ‘Il Ballo in Maschera” (*‘The Masked Ball”) will be given, with a cast including three prima donnas, Miss Ida Valerga will make her first appearance this season in this pro- duction. ‘‘Aida’ and the first loca! pro- duction of the famous fairy opera ‘‘Hansel and Gretel” will follow. GOLUMBIA THEATER. It has been decidea to continuc ‘‘The Social Trust” at the Columbia Theater for another week. The play is drawing large bouses, and is already counted among the Frawley Company’s successes. Following “The Social Trust” at the Columbia will come De Mille and Belas- co’s New York Lyceum Theater success, “‘The Wife,” which will be produced here for the first time. *The Matrimonial Maze,” a comedy- drama by Walter Craven, will shortly re- ceive its first production at the Columbia Theater. GRAND OPERA-HOUSE. Henry Sedley has been especially en- gaged to appear this week in “Held in Slavery” at the Grand. He will appear in his original character of Julian. Lottie Williams and Edwin J. Heron, the two new comedy vperformers, will have good parts in “Held in Slavery,” and Julia Blanc is to play an old colored lady, with songs and dances. A feature of the pro- duction willde the appearance of twenty piccaninies. “Held in Slavery’is a nautical malo- drama, with some sensational effects, in- cluding a real rainstorm, a fire and = fierce knifefight. These incidents are held together by a story of love and villainy. There are also many fanny scenes, which will enable Miss Williams and E. J. Heron to do sev- eral specialty turns. oI tnanin ALGAZAR THEATER! The Alcazar Theater opens under its new management to-morrow night with “Turned Up,” which will be presented by a comedy company consisting of: The Misses Adelo Belgarde, Amy Lee, May Buckley, Hattie Foley, Rosella La Faille, Violet Aubrey, Mrs. F. M. Bates, Mrs. Henry Vandenhoff, and Messrs. John T. Sullivan, Frank Doane, Richardson Cot- ton, Gordon Foster, J. B. Polk, Carl Smith, F. B. Clayton, Charles Bryant and W. A. Belasco. Tt is the intention of the managers— Messrs. Belasco, Doane and Jordan—to stage comedy, comedy-drama and scciety- drama. The interior of the house has been thoroughly renovated and a system of ventilation which is said to be very effective has been introduced. i g AT THE ORPHEUM. Filson and Erroll, a comedy team with good recommendations from the East, will appear at the Orphenm this week in a sketch which they call **Men vs. Womer, " and which is said to afford opportunities for emotional as well as comedy work. The sketch is a satire on the prentensions of society people, and the ambitious new woman 1s treated rather sarcastically. The Cosman couple, who will also appear, are English specialty artists whom Gustav Walter has brought over from Australia. Their work is said to be very funny. Lydia Yeamans Titus returns for one week only. She will be assisted by Fred J. Titus, and has some new songs to introduce. Of last week’s performers Richdrd Pitrot will introduce local characters into his impersonations, Albini will show new card tricks and Nellie Maguire will ap- pear in new “coster” songs. This will be the last week of Herr Techow’s trained cats, and the four Nclson sisters will close their engagement next Sunday. Favor and Sinclair remain. The annex to the Orpheum, or Wein- stube, as Gustav Walter styles 1t, is now open to the public. AT THE GHUTES. The Chutes atiract as many people as ever and the long shoot down into the water. the greatest scenic railway on earth, the trolley, haunted swing, funny little black bears and numerous other features around the Haight-street grounds are fully appreciated by San Francisco lovers of outdoor amusement. The Casino offers an attractive pro- gramme at present. There are the De Filippis, eccentric dancers, the Zanfar- ellas, aerial artists, the Lenore family, juverile instrumentalists, and Lewis Lawrence, a young man who has a won- derful barytone voice. At half-past 4 this afternoon Emil Markeberg, the nervy little aeronaut who has had so many varied experiences with his balloon lately, will make an ascension and parachute drop. When he reaches an altitude of two or three thousand feet he will liberate a pair of carrier pigeons whose cote is in Alameda. They have been turned loose before from an airship by Markeberg and have always arrived home in about eight minutes. £ Performances are given in the Casino every evening and on Saturday and Sun- day afternoons. BEEL-HINRIGHS GONGERTS. Gustav Hinrichs and Sigmund Beel an- nounce a series of three orchestral con- certs at the Baldwin Theater on Friday afternoons at 3:15 on October 16 and 30 and November 13. There will be an orchestra of fifty musicians. The season will be under the management of William L. Greenbaum, who announces his inten- tion of doing all in his power to make the symphony orchestra of the City a per- manent institution. Perhaps a business man may succeed where the professional oiten fails. The subscription price for the series is $250 a seat, or $1 single admis- sion. The novelties to be produced will be selected from the following list: Overture, “Hussetka” (Dvorak); overture, “In der Natur” (Dvorak); overture, “Academie” (Brahms); ballet music to ‘‘Henry V” (St. Saens); suite, “‘Sur les Mon- taignes” g;churd); bailet suite, “The Sleefiing Beauty” (Tschaikowsky); numbers from “Han- gel and Gretel” (Humperdinck); “Liebes No- velle,” strings only (Krug); overture, scherzo, finaie (Schumanm); selections rom Wagner's works and the complete music to Byron's “Mantred” by Schumann, with & Teading of the work by an eminent actor. NEW AUDITORIUM. " The "“Death of Spiritualism” is the title of a unique entertainment to be given at thg Auditorium to-night by T. C. Alex- ander. TWO RIVAL MIMIGS. The hatred between Biondi, who has just completed an engagement at the Or- pheum, and Fregoli, the Italian mimic, vocalist and ventriloquist, who has just completed an engagement at Hammer- stein’s Olympia, is said to be something terrible. Fregoli’s dislike goes to the ex- tent of tracking Biondi around on his travels and writing to the press to say that Biondi has built himself up upon him, the great Fregoli, as his model. A Fregoli’s talent for mimicry was discov- ered in a rather singular way, according to the Dramatic Times. At the age of 20, while he was a clerk 1n a railroad office in Milan, he was drawn for the army and was sent to Massowah, Abyssinia, under General Baldissera, and at that place he began his theatrical ca- reer. He had possessed the power of mimicry from childhood, and in the army he practiced it for' the amusement of him- self and his comrades. There was a thea- ter in Massowah, where entertainments were given by traveling companies, chiefly for the amusement of the officers and soldiers. Soon after Fregoli's arrival a company which had been giving farces and operettas departed sudaenly, the inembexs of the organization returning to taly. Aaq entertainment was to be given the following night, at which there were to be a number of the general’s invited guests. Ti.e general was considerably annoyed at the prospect of having to disappoint his friends, some of whom came a consider- | able distance, and one of the men, think- ing to help him out of a dilemma, men- tioned Fregoli's name and his ability as an entertainer. Fregoli was sent for and asked what he could do toward giving a performance in place of the departed company. The young soldier’s confidence plessed the general and he was given the ogflwrmu‘uy to give a public exhibition of powers asa mimic. i For this entertainment he performed a piece which had been presented by the company during its stay, in which he1m- itated the various members of the organi- zation. The performance lasted about three h3urs, and was a great success. The general was so pleased with Fregoli’s work that he relieved him from military duty ana placed him in charge of the theater, where he frequently appeared, and for which be also trained a company of amateurs. Hecontinued at the theater until the expiration of his time of service 1 the army, when despite the efforts made by General Baldissera to indace him to stay, he returned to Rome, where in 1892 he made his professional deébut at the Exedra Music Hall. SARAH BUYS A FORTRESS. Mme. Sarah Bernhardt, says the Gentle- woman, ‘‘is installed for the summer at Belle Isle. There she has bought a kind of fortress, which dates from toe time of Flo- quet, superintendent of finance. The great actress has not changed one stone of the fortress, but she has decorated the interior with antique furniture, brasses and bibe- lots. At the entrance she has placed two immense ibises with outstretched wings. These birds, dear io the Egyptians, are of zinc and painted green. The actress is the ‘good fairy’ of all the fisherfolk, and I hear from a friend who has visited Belle Isle that many English people come to the place by the Quiberon boat merely to have a glimpse of Sarah Bernhardt.” DRAMATIG BREVITIES. Henry Irving is to produce “Madame Sans Gene” at the Lyceum Theater, Lon- don, in November. Most of the members of the new Alcazar stock company are well known to San Francisco theater-goers. The Casino’s satire promises to be up to date. If it will satirize William Bryan, it will be very much up to date. This is the first visit of Kathryn Kidder to San Francisco, although she has bgen on the stage for over ten years. Kate Forsythe is said to have married a Duke in London on the quiet. This is the third quiet marriage she has contracted. Foote are energetic in getting up a benefi for W. J. Egan, a deaf mute, who goes to Washingion to'the school for the deaf and dumb. The Reliance Club will assist the young man when the entertainment takes place at the Macdonough Theater in Oak- land on Monday, September 7. The soubrette role in Oscar Hammer- stein’s new romantic comic opera “Santa Maria” will be filied by Marie Halton, who has just lately returned from Lon- don, where she starred with consider- able success at Shaftsbury Theater in a comic opera of her own. Miss Halton is expected to create no littie sensation. There are three ladies connected with the theatrical business who have an in- come of over $8000 a year. They are Elizabeth Marbury, who is the American agent for nearly all the foreign dramatists; Mrs. Fernandez, who has a dramatic ex- change in Klaw & Erlanger's building, and Miss Rosenfield, who conducts a the- atrical typewriting establishment. Mrs. Fernandez employs four to help her, Miss Marbury ten and Miss Rosenfield hasa staff of twenty operators. MIGALD BEAT HIS WIFE A Warrant Now Out for His . Arrest on a Charge of Battery. The Woman Is in a Serious Condition and a Murder Charge, May Follow. Vincent Onnuzzi swore to a complaint in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday, charging his brother-in-law, Rafael Mi- galo, 10 Margaret place, with battery upon his sister. Mrs. Migalos has a baby 6 months old, and is in poor health. She works m a cdnnery, and on her way home Friday evening bought a loaf of bread. Migalo was at home drinking with some compan- ions when she entéred. Without any vrovocation he grabbed the loaf of bread from her and struck her in the face with it. She staggered from the blow and Mi- 2alo followed it up by throwing her to the floor and jumping on her. The other men pulled him away, and when they saw that the poor woman had fainted they sent for a doctor and put her to bed. The woman was in a precarious condi- tion yesterday and when her brother heard of what her husband had done te her he urged her to have him arrested. She refused, saying she would forgive him this time, but if he beat her again she would take steps to have him pun- ished for it. Onnuzzi, finding her obdurate, took the matter into his own hands and swore to the complaint charging Migalo with bat- tery. If the woman should die he will have to answer to a charge of murder. The Migalos live in two rooms in the house on Margaret place, which 1s a small street running north from Vallejo street, between Kearny and Dupont. Mrs. Migalo bears the name among her neigh- bors of being a hard-working, industrious, young woman, but her husband is lazy and addicted to drink. =y Had Cpium Aboard. Twenty half-pound tins of opium, supposed to be intended for Honolulu, was found on board the steamer Australia yesterday. The drug was concealed in the bunk of John Hansen, who was sent for and notified that his services were no longer required. Hansen was & fire- man on the steamer. The opium was stamped, bence the Government officials were powerless to take un( action in the premises further than to notify the steamship company of the illegal cargo. e e Good morning, have you read Thomas Slater’s ad vertisement for men on page 21?
