SevePoavee=.l EDWARD o HAGAN - MOROSCO'S ““Madame Sans Gene’’ is forall the world like a superior wax-work exhibition, with the characters sudden!y made alive and kicking. The historical personages who al- ways wear crowns and stars and gartersand yards and yards of ermine, and who stand 80 haughty and unbending on their pedes- s in the wax-works, have stepped down in “Mme. Sans Gene,” and parade about the stage so that you can see their finery from every point ot view. It is really in- teresting to meet a queen and an emperor | at such close range—not some musty old toga-wearing Emperor who expects you to be interested in Roman politics, but the genuine nineteenth century article. Napoleon’s pictures have flattered him immensely, though, or else Augustus Na- | poleon Cook has something wrong with | his make-up. His head is very, very big, and his extremities are airy, fairy Lillian- like. As for the terrible Napoleonic visage itis flat and white and wide, like a full | moon. Cook has caught a likeness to the proud Corsicap, but it is the sort of parod, likeness that would make things go hard with him if Napoleon were on earth. Augustus Cook’s acting is more lifelike than his make-up. Admiring historians have tried to gloss it over, but they have not hidden the fact that Napoleon’s man- ners were fying to people not used to military discipline, and the impressive manner in which Cook holds up bisend of the family row with the Queen of Naples and the Princess Elise shows that he has carefully studied the records of Napoleon’s little ways. It 1s not to see Napoleon, though, or Lefebvre, or the dancing master of the ro- mantic Austrian count, or even the dress parades, that, if you have not already done 80 yoa should hasten to see “Mme. Sens Gene.” That lady herself is the play, and a more attractive “Mrs. free and Easy” than Miss Kidder you could scarcely ask to meet. * People who like grand opera, and their name is lezion, will regret that the Tivoli season comes to an end with theend of § this week. The management has more than fulfilled the promises made at the beginning of the season. The artists have exceeded the hopes and expectations raised beforehand, and the orchestra, under the direction of Gustav Hinrichs, has accomplished everything anticipated from that gentleman’s well-known repu- tation. Nothing popularizes a love of good music so rapidly and surely as grand opera, and the thanks of the community are due to the Tivoli for the musical mis- sionary work it has been doing. The theater hat is likely to play an im- portant part in politics this fall. Driven to bay on every other point, the adver- saries of suffrage are beginning to in- trench themselves behind this sort of argument: If the unanimous press of the country is unable to induce women—the majority of women—to give up the theater hat, how do you suppose women are ever going to be influenced by political argu- ment? Will they not here, as in every- thing else, follow the tyrant fashion, regardless of logic, reason, irony, threats and entreaties? And to this question stern, determined men are awaiting a reply. There was plenty of jocular discussion last winter over the Fosdick law against theater hats, passed by the Ohio Legisla- ture. The exact provisions of the law are summed up by Henry Finck as foliows: That any owner, lessee, proprietor or manager of any the- ater, hall, opera-house or any such build- ing where theatrical or other perform- ances cre given, where an admission fee is charged, who permits or suffers any person or persons during the performance in such theater, hall, opera-house or building where such ver- formance is given to wear a hat sufficiently large to obstruet the view of persons sitting behind her shall be guilty of a misde- meanor, and shall upon conviction be fined not more than $10 nor less than $2. Every bat permiited to be worn in violation of thé law shall constitute a separate of- fense.” Only two votes were recorded agamnst the bill, which is a silent but eloquent proof of what the men in the Senate must have suffered from the obstructing theater hat. Louisiana also has its high hat bill, which aimed originally at excluding hats entirely from the theater. A galiant Sen- ator named Fenner intervened, how- ever, and succeeded, after an eloquent burst of oratory, in passing an amend- JOSIE INTROPID) ment authorizing the wearing of aigrettes 1n opera bonneis. Now there are aigrettes ORPHEUM BLANCHE L» BATES-COLUMBIA' and aigrettes, goers are predicting that in New Orleans, and pessimistic theater- this season, the aigrettes will be as big as the legendary plumes in the hat of a tambour-major of the Oid Imperiel Guard. An enterprising newspaper has interviewed the leading milliners, and has succeeded in formulat- ing this definition: ‘‘An opera bonnet is 2 bonnet which conforms strictly to a womnan’s head, and which has no brim, but it can be trimmed according to the faney of the wearer, and there 1s no limit to its altitude.”” This expert opinion is believed to prove that the new law is entirely illu- sionary, for how will the authorties and the wearers of “aigrettes” ever come to a eaceful understanding as to the limits of the opera-bonnet? The iron_hand of the law hasnot yet been called upon to wrest the theater hat from the California women, but it has a political aspect here which is more serious than any legislation against it. The suf- frage amendment is to be voted on this fall, and in the theater hat the adversa- ries of suffrage hold a terrible indictment against the majority of theater-going women. It is not likely, as an Ohio joker suggested, that the coming Presidential campaign will hinge on the theater hat, but the fate of the suffrage amendment may be trembling in the balance. Let the women of this State be warned in time and reject the obnoxious big hat, before it becomes a weapon in the hands of their adversaries. BALDWIN THEATER. ““Madame Sans Gene,”” which has proved so successful at the Baldwin Theater, will be continued for two weeks longer. The play has much to commend it to different classes of theater-goers. Not only is it gorgeously mounted, but it covers a variety | of emotions and gives an opportunity to the heroine to do some delightfully clever work. The next attraction at the Baldwin will be the Lyceum Theater success, “‘The Prisoner of Zenda.” - GALIFORNIA THEATER. “‘On the Bowery” opens at the Califor- nia Theater to-morrow rfight, with Steve Brodle in the part which was originally written for him. The play introduces the audience to all that is dearest to lovers of melodrama. Comedy abounds, sensations follow one another thick and fast, and specialties, new and up to date, are promised by the management. Both interior and exterior views of Steve Brodie’s saloon on the Bowery are shown. There is also a scene on the Brooklyn Bridge, with the huge towers and intricate cable network. and from this elevation ceived girl, who has been thrown into the East River. Anbther scene shows the East River "with its warehouse, watch- house, shipping and heavy merchandise on the hanE. The characters include the vagrant, ¢‘Dismal” Delaney, who resorts to every known device for procuring drinks; Isi- dore Micheowsky, who sells shoestrings with a persistency worthy of a better cause, and Dan Gibbs, who is always seeking a fight and_runs away when he gets one. In fact, Bowery life and its dramatis personz are fully represented and go to make up what has proved in the East to be an entertaining performance. A special matinee performance of ‘On :ihe Bowery” will be given on Admission ay. —_— GOLUMBIA THEATER. “The Wife,” which the Frawley Com- pany will produce for the first time in this City to-morrow night at the Columbia Theater, is an American drama, which is said to depend for its interest upon legiti- mate emotion. There are no disagreeable social problems in the play, and no sur- reptitious interest is given by the intro- duction of speciaities or mechanical ef- fects. The story is that of a girl who is tricked by an unworthy rival into disearding her lover and marryinga man who has always bad her resvect, but not her love. He proves his worthiness of her considera- tion, when he finds that he himself, no less than his wife, has been the victim of a mistake. On account of his forbearance and manly conduct under his trouble, the heroine learns to love her husband. and Brodie leaps to save the de- | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1896. the marriage turns out happily afterall. “The Wife” is said to teach a moral by enforcing the sanctity of the marriage VOw. The strength of the Frawley company will be brought into requisition for the forthcoming production, and elaborate preparations have been made for the staging. In addition to the usual Satur- day matinee, there will be a special mati- nee on Wednesday, September 9. GRAND OPERA-HOUSE. Sporting people will be especially inter- ested in the play which opens at the Grand to-morrow night. It is “The Great Brooklyn Handicap,” a comedy-drama, which gives a reproduction of the Brook- AUGUSTY Coow lyn handicap of three years ago. Real racehorses are to be presented, and they will be ridden by Joe Newell, W. Sullivan, Albert Steel, Geor.e Coady and Charles Cole, jockeys from the Ingleside track. The race will be made very exciting by false starts, etc. Another remarkable scene is to be the presentation of Broadway by night, with the cable-cars running. A stylish turnout with spirited horses is stopped on the tracks, while a fight takes place and a blockade ensnes. ‘‘The Great Brooklyn Handican” is the work of a woman, Alice Ives. Itis said to contain plenty of human interest, in addition to its sensational scenes, and Lottie Williams and Ed Heron will have comedy opportunities galore. PLGAZAR THEATER. “Turned Up” will have its last perform- ance at the Alcazar Theater to-day. To- morrow the well-known farcical comedy, “*All the Comforts of Home,” will be pro- duced. The cast will include the leading mem- bers of the Alcazar company, who made a favorable impression last week, with the addition of Violet Aubry and Harold Vizar. The servant in “All the Comforts of Home” is usually made a male part. In this presentation it will be made a female role. Amy Lee, who is cast for the char- acter of Kitty McDow, is versatile and will introduce speciaities. The management announces that the delay experiencea between the acts on the opening night and to a lesser degree on the succeeding nights, has been entirely remedied, as everything on the stage is now working smoothly. The handsome stage settings and accessories have al- ready been favorably commented on. TIVOLI OPERA-HOUSE. The Grand Opera Company will finish its present season at the Tivoli Opera- house this week, as it is due in Los Angeles for a series of performances. The repertoire announced is as follows: To-morrow ‘and Friday evenings, *‘Lucia di Lammermoor,” with Mile. Ida Valerga, who will appear for the first time this sea- son in the title roie; on Tuesday evening Gounod’s “Romeo and Juliet,” and on Wednesday and Saturday evenings ‘11 Trovatore,” with Mile, Valerga as Leon- ora, Signor de Vries 2sthe Count de Luna, and Miss Bernice Holmes as Azucena. Thursday evening will be devoted toa pre- sentation of Balfe’s “The Bohemian Girl,” with Miss Humphrys as Arline. On Sunday evening, the 13th inst., the fil;s: presentation will be givenin this City of Humperdinck’s fairy opera, “‘Han- sel and Gretel.” An enlarged orchestra, Dew scenery, etc., are promised. Joseph Hirschbach, who has made a special study of the remarkable opera, will conduct. _“Hansel and Gretel” will be continued till the return of the grand opera com- any from'the south, when *'II Ballo in aschera,” “Aida” and other well-known operas will be given. — AT THE ORPHEUM. Six new turns are announced in the Orpheum’s programme for this week, and the holdovers will appear in new acts, Lovers of Irish knockabout specialties will be catered to by Ferguson and Mack. Terry and Elmer will appear in a gro- tesque comedy sketch, in which iss Elmer will iniroduce ner lightning sword drill, Bellman and Moore will dv a song- and-dance act. Beliman is said to have a fine bass voice, and Miss Moore is spoken of as a graceful dancer. ““The Peerless Marguerite” comes her- alded as a famous contortion dancer, and she will appear in the dances which have mnde ner taiked of in the East. The La Rose brothers, Chinese impersonators and trick artists, will give a number of spe- cialties. The other new attraction will be the Vassar Quartet, whose members are Blanche Chapman, Cora Macey, Josie Intropidi and James Sturgis.’ Their sketch, ““A Quiet Vacation,’”’ turns. out to be anything but a quiet affair. Lydia Yea- mans-Titus has been re-enczaged for an- other week, and will sing some new songs. Filson and Erroll will continue their sketch, “Men vs. Women.” Richard Petrop announces impersonations of local characters, including Mayor Sutro and Judge Campbell. AT THE GHUTES. The interest in the Chutes scenic rail- way,, ball of illusions, haun lpd swing, trolley and innumerable attractions at the Haight-street grounds is constantly on the increase and every week sees some new permanent attraction added. The performances in the casino are of a varied character and very entertaining, and include the Joshinato troupe of Japan- ese jugglers and acrobats, the Masons, horizontal bar performers, and Paul Korto, who though nossessed of but one arm is a wonderful equilibrist. A great novelty is a one-mile bicycle race on the stage, given by two young ladies. By & peculiar me- chanical contrivance the wheels are kept in full view of the audience and the speed at which they go is accurately timed. As an especial attraction Antonio Pirri from the Chutes at Milan will coast down the long slide into the water on a safety bicycle this afternoon at 4:30, and he will Tepeat the feat every evening during the week., s A NEW WOMAN. Miss Nethersole will bring several new plays with her to America, among them being a society drama by Mrs. Vere Camp- bell, an Englishwoman, who is gradually making her way into public notice. Mrs. Campbell is a woman of extraordinary originality of thought and method, and her work is sure to make a great impres- sion in America. While rather of the idealistic school her plays and books are tinged with a morbid spirit of realism that is almost savage in its strength. Mr. and Mrs. Beerbohm Tree, who think highly of her work, have already favorably consid- ered more than one of her plays, but Charles Frohman has been the only man- ager who so far has given them serious at- tention. Mr. Frohman considers that Mrs. Campbell’s play will prove a tower of strength in Miss Nethersole's reper- toire, of all of which the people on thisside of the water will be able to judge sooner than her fellow-country people. i vt DRAMATIG BREVITIES. Lillian Russell will make her entrance in “An American Beauty” on the back of an elephant. A special holiday matinee of ‘‘On the Bowery’’ will be given at the California on Admission day—Wednesday next. Mrs. Beerbohm-Tree probably will not accompany her husband to America, Kate Rorke coming as leading lady instead. ““The Prisoner of Zenda” is still a big drawing-card in Englana, where it is being presented by George Alexander. Lydia Thompson is now playing the part of an eccentric spinster in a farcical comedy which tours the British provinces. Augustin Daly announced the other night in London that his much-talked-of revival of “Henry IV” had been aban- doned. The Bostonians will play a long engage- ment in New York at the Knickerbocker Theater, where several new operas will be prodaced. “The Browhies”” will be presented this season by a company of 125 people. The spectacle will have an entirely new lot of scenery, costumes, etc. Anthony Hope has written a dramatic version of his own novel, “Half a Hero,” and a performance of the piece has been given ior copyright purpose. Charles W. Swain, formerly comedian at Morosco’s Grand Opera-house, leaves for New York City on September 7, to ac- cept an engagement with an Eastern com- pany. Among the improvements inaugurated by the managers of the Alcazar Theater not the least was the introduction of a sys- tem of ventilation. It was needed and is a success. The Pacific Coast rights to the Bouci- cault plays and the Augustin Daly pro- ductions haye been secared by the man- agement of the Alcazar Theater and their elaborate presentation is promised soon. Miss Alice Bacon and Giulio Minetti announce a series of four ensemble con- certs of ciassical works. The concerts will take place atthe Association auditorium, beginning the last Sunday in this month. In “Madame Sans Gene” there are forty seven orders and decorations worn. The most noticeable ones are those of the Legion of Honor, the Royal Bavarian and the Austrian orders and Napoleon’s per- sonal badge. All of these have been care- fully copied from the originals. An extract says: “In Augustin Daly's company this season there will be a new recruit to the stage who in beauty may claim to rival the far-famed Maxine Elliott. Her name is Pauline French and she comes from San Francisco, where she is well known 1n_ social circles. Sheisa tall, graceful girl, inclining to the brunette, and has magnificent eyes. She also pos- sesses intelligence far above the average. Kathryn Kidder's Lingerie Probshly no member of the dramatic profess.on is more devoted to that delicate and dainty lingerie which is so distinctly French than Kathryn Kidder, or Madame Sans Gene, as her friends love to call her, Any bride might well envy the dozens of sets of finest cambric underwear, which are marvels of art in the way of tucking and lace trimmings, and which are kept carefully in lavenderand replenished each month by Miss Kidder’s French maid. Miss Kidder takes most pride, however, in bLer beautiful skirts ard corsets, and that fact causes little wonder to those who have had a peep at the exquisite combinations. They come direct from the hands of the Parisian modiste, and bear the stamp of aristocratic elegance. One beauty is made of black satin, bro- caded in roses, with = wide flounce of yel- low satin, over which is a second flounce of black Spanish lace, fastened hereand there with butterfly bows of yellow and black satin ribbons. The petticoat 1s lined throughout with yellow silk, edged at the bottom with two yeliow silk pinked-out ruffles. The corsets to match are made of the brocaded satin, edged with yellow satin and black lace, and laced with yel- low silk. Another petticoat is of black satin strewn with bouquets of colored marguerites con- nected by gariands. This petticoat is very wide, and on the lower part is a puckered double flounce of black lace, embroidered with pastilles de soie, the first flounce being straight and the second undulated. They are kept in place by artistic bows of black mousseline de soie, surmounted by a little accordion-plaited crest of the same material, supported by a thin brass wire. Below the lace flounces, to support them, is a flounce of broche satin, like the ground of the petticoat. It is lined with rose taffeta, which makes it more comfortabie, and terminates in two balayeuses de coupees. A more elegant petticoat for evening wear is of silk stuff, embroidered with large flowers in maize and heliotrope. The skirt, of broche, is cutin points, which rest on a deep flounce of plaited maize taffeta, showing a little boraer of heliotrope flounce. These flounces are covered with another flounce of lace, imitating old point d’Agenton, and placed en baldequin, with Louis XV shepherdess bows of maize and heliotrope satin. Another dainty petticoat isof light mas- tic poult de soie, with printed pompadour bouquets. 1t iscut into five large teeth, which fall over a flounce of rose taffeta de chine, which is itself trimmed with two puckered flonnces of taffeta. A flounce of accordion-plaited mousseline de soie veils the taffeta flounces. This flounce is orna- mentea with two insertions of lace, five centimeters apart. They are plaited like the mousseline de soie. The top of the flounce is formed by a little rouche bouillonne of mastic mous- seline de soie. Between each of the teeth of the skirt is an insertion of lace over rose satin. This insertion is fixed by Louis X VI bows of satin ribbon. The pet- ticoat, which is very soft in front, is lined with rose taffeta de chine. One of Miss Kidder’s favorites is of silk stuff, embroidered at the top with vert d’eau glace, with white. The lower part isof white poult de soie, with scalloped flounces, over which is a deep flounce of cream mousseline de soie, adorned with five plaits trimmed with cream-colored lace, in imitation of Mechlin. The top of the flounce is trimmed with lace and bows of white satin ribbon, Louis XVI style. The ends of the bows hang over the fluffy flounce. This petticoat, which is charm- ing, is lined throughout with satin. Several petticoats are of pretty Scotch taffeta in different shades, the flounces surrounded by a raching of the taffeta, be- low which are three sweeping flounces in corresponding shades of silk. There is one pretty affair of yellow taffeta, com- posed of three flounces placed one above the other and ornamented with ruches of taffeta. The bottom flounce is straight, while the two others are considerably un- dulated. This particular petticoat, which is four meters round, is not lined, but is adorned below with two balayeuse flounces. Each of these exquisite combinations is matched by a pair of corsets in the same shade, color and design, and trimmed in- variably with a quantity of Valenciennes, a lace, by the way, of which the young star is particularly fond.
