Grgs gogayt™® New York theaters are bristling with as many novelties asif McKinley had already been elected, and the prosperity of which be 1s the advance sgent had become an actual fact. Croakers said that theaters in Gotham would not do anything till after t' e Presidential election, and that managers who tried putting on new plays would have to spell the word bankruptcy. However, their predictions have come to naught, and the people who predicted a disastrous season are lying low and say- ing nothing. In the coming by-and-by we may see some of the novelties ourselves, but in ihe meantime San Francisco managers prefer 2 masterly inactivity till after the Presi- dential election. The California wili put up its shutters to-night till the fate of the Nation is decided. The Baldwin wili also remain dark for part of the time between now and November, and the other theaters are not promising much in the way of new productions. An angmented com- pany is coming to the Grand this week, but the plays in which Mr. Stockwell and his company are to appear are old familiar friends. The Tivoli promises a grand scenic revival of “Aida,”” and that is the greatest novelty ahead, for though the African opera is almost as well known as the *“Trovatore,” to see it handsomely put on the stage will be something absolutely new to San Francisco theater-goers. Golumbia Theater. The Frawley Company, which kept its patrone lsughing all last week in farce- comedy, will this week produce a strongly dramatic play, adapted by the late Steele Mackaye froa Sardou’s ‘‘Agnes,” called ““In Spite of AIL” The work was success- fully presented in the East last season by Minnie Maddern Fiske. The play is founded upon a story of the affections, its leading motive being the efforts of a young wife to keep the love of her husband, who is very much infatnated with a celebrated dancer who has just created a sensation in America. In ‘the effort not to let her husband slip through her hands the wife goes in disguise to the dressing-room of the dancer and makes an appeal to her better nature. After a series of dramatic incidents the actress finally turns ber efforts to keeping the husband and wife from dxifting apart, and the cartain falls on the happy reunion of the couple. The Frawley Company only has two weeks more to play at the Columbia ;Ihealer. after which it will go to Hono- ulu. Baldwin Theater. Commencing with to-morrow evening the Baldwin will be dark for a couple of weeks preparatory to opening for the fall and winter season on Monday, October &, with “The Prisoner of Zenda,” which is at present playing at Hooly’s Theater, Chicago, and repeating its success of last season. James K. Hackett, who heads the cast of Frohman’s company, is a stalwart youth of 27, the son of the famous ‘‘Falstaff’’ Hackett of other days. Galifornia Theater. Steve Brodie and his play, “On the Bowery,"” will close a successful engage- ment of two weeks at the California The- ater this evening. This house will then be dark until after the elections, when it will reopen with Gratian Donelly’s “Darkest Russia.” Grand Opera-House. Manager Morosco of the Grand Opera- bouse has chosen an auspicious time for introducing a strong company to the theater-goers of 8an Francisco. With the Baldwin and the Californ:a closed the ad- vent of such well-known people as L, R. Stockwell, Viotory Bateman and Howard Kyle in a bouse with Yopulnr prices prom- iscs to be a successiul move. Mr. Stock- well and Miss Bateman open to-morrow evening in “Mr. Potter of Texas,” with Stockwell in the title role and Miss Bate- man as Lady Annerly. Mr. Kyle bas been delayed and so will not make his first ap- pearance till a week later. Victory Bateman is well known to San Francisco audiences. She was one of the few successes of the old Stockwell Theater, now the Columbia. Although still young, she has made a name for herself on the American stage, which is not surprising, as she was born in a theatrical atmosphere and was educated in the company of her uncle, Edwin Booth. Kyle was leading man for Modjeska during two seasons. Stockwell is too well known to need a word of mention. With the above performers will appear Lottie Williams, ¥dward Heron, Julia Blanc and Frank Hatch. The play for this week is a dramatiza- tion of Mr. Gunter’s popular novel, “Mr. Potter of Texas.” It will be set off with new and striking scenery. Rlcazar Theater. To-morrow night Augustin Daly’s so- ciety comedy “Divorce” will be produced at the Alcazar Theater. Itisa play in four acts, the first scene opening in New York City. The location is transferred successively to Long Island, New York, Florida and to New York again, where the story is broug t 1o a close. In the first act the various court- ships and marriages, all of a different character, are established. Later the vari- ous jealousies, domestic troubles and matrimomal differences arise comical and serious sides of divorce are ex- ploited. Matters are finally happily ad- justed, though in certain instances not without leaviny a sting. John T. Sullivan will be seen as Alfred Adriance, Carl Smith as Captain Lynde, F. B. Clayton as Rev. Harry Duncan, J. B. Polk as De Wolf de Witt, Frank Doane as Templeton Jitt, Gordon Foster as Mr. Burritt, W. A. Belasco as Judge Kemp, Charies Bryant as Dr. Lang, Mrs. Henry Vandenhoff as Mrs. Ten Eyck, Beatrice Lieb (her first abpearanca with the Alca- zar stock company) as Fanny Ten Eyck, Amy Lee as Lu Ten Eyck, Anita Bridger as Grace, Hattie Foley as Mollie, May Backley as Flora Penfield and Mrs. F. M. Bates as Mrs. Kem New scenery 1s performance. Tivoli Opera- The season of grand opera is announced to end next week at the Tivoli. Most of the artists who began the season will ap- pear this week in farewell performances. The feature of the closing season will be a scenic revival of Verdi's “Aida.” In order to give more time to the prepara- tion of this work 1t will not be put on till Wednesday. To-morrow ‘“The Hugue- nots’’ will be given, and on Tuesday “The Bohemian Girl,” with the same cast as heretofore. The cast of *Aida” will include: Mme. Natali and Ida Valerga, alternately, as Aida, the Ethiopian princess; Miss Ber- nice Holmes as Amneus, the Egyptian rincess; Sig. Abramoff as Ramfis; Sig. ichelena and Rhys Thomas, as Ra- dames; Sigz. Maurice de Vries and John J. Rafiael, alternately, as the father of Aida, and Sig. Napoleoni as the king. Special scenery isbeingnpninud for the perform- ance and a grand ballet is promised. Rhys ‘Thomas, a tenor from the Carl Rosa Opara Company, will make his San Francisco debut as Radames. After the run of *‘Aida” Balfe's “Sata- nella’” will be produced, with two new comers, Elvira C. Seabrooke and Maurice Darcy, in the leadmé roles. This will be follow-d by Ferris Hartman’s spectacular burlesque, “The Babes in the Wood.'’ At the Orpheum. Three new turns are billed at the Or- pheum for this week. OI these much is expected from Master Walter Leon, the boy actor, mimic and vocalist. Leon comes direct from the Empire Theater, London. The London Daily News says of him, *‘the caricature in each case is so close and so amusing that one wonders how so young a child can have observed so much.”” He is now 9 years of age. The Carpos brothers are a pair of acrobats credited with performing some very diffi- cuit feats. Their act 1s said to be some- thing of a novelty. Riley and ‘Hughes style themselves plantation comedians and g‘eing prepared for the and the | to make his slides on the high wire. Mile. Alma on the electric globe completes a ten-act bill.

To be followed by dancing. Floor committee, J. Bell and R. Moll. Macdonough Theater. “Madame Sans Gene™ Company will play three nights at the Macdonough Theater, commencing to-morrow. Loring Glub Gongert. The Loring Club announces the first concert of their twentieth season for the | evening of Tuesday, the 22d inst., at Odd Fellows’ Hall. There are several items of exceptional interest on the pro- gramme, perhaps the principal one being a composition by Debois, ‘Mysterious Night,” for male chorus with violin obli- gato. This will be the first performance of this composition in San Francisco. The violin obligato is a very important soloand John Marguardt has been engaged as soloist for this occasion. Advantage of his presence has been taken to include in the programme another number for male chorus with violin obligato, and he will also play a solo. Among the other chorus numbers are Mohr's “Hymn of Praise” and Foote's “Farewell of Hiawatha.’ The club has engaged as soprano soloist for the evening, Miss Adelia Brown of New York. The concert will be under the direction of the vonductor of the club, P %t Hughes. At the Chutes. The week has been a lively one out at the Chutes. What with open air perform- ances, Antonio Pirri’s daring bicycle rides down the shde into the lake, and political demonstrations things have been hum- ming. The latest attraction is the “Animato- scope,” a kinitoscope which throws life- sized figures in motion on a screen. Itin- cludes all the good features of the vita- scope with seversl important improve- ments, A humber of local scenes are repro- duced, including a view on Kearny street. The bill in the Casino has some new faces, including Mabel Maitland, a contortion aancer, Louis Meyers,the “King of Clubs,” and ‘‘Musical” Fletcher, who plays every instrument conceivable and inconceivable. The two young ladies continue to give their stationary mile bicycle race and Pirri is retained. Regular matinees are given Saturdays and Sundays, and the evening perform- ances begin at half-past 8. BRET HARJE'S «SUE.” The Western Writer Makes a First Attempt at Playwriting. Bret Harte has made his first attempt at playwriting in a drama called “Sue,” which is to be produced at Hoyt's Theater, New York, on Tuesday night. It is rather late in Iife for Bret Harte to begin, but all the successful novelists and short-story writers are taking to the drama nowadays, so Harte naturally wants to be in the swim. He has taken as his collaborator J. Edgar Pemberton, who probably heiped him in constructing the plot. “Sue’’ is announced as a Western story, with enough atmosphere and coloring to give it interest even if the plot flags. lE e most of Bret Hart-’s work it depicts the Califoruia of early days. The young lady who gives her name to the play is the danghter of a Sierra Nevada miner. She is a charming type of the inexperienced and guileless girl, whose and, in pursuance of the crude plans she has formed for her own future, she accepts the suitor and becomes his wi Her intention is of the very best, but along comesa young man, who stops in the camp long enongh to win Sue’s fancy. Itisat this point, where the young wife wavers between love and duty, that the dramatist takes up the characters and story and builds up their complications. Many intensely dramatic situations are said to result, and the solution of all the trouble is not reached until the last act, which is a characteristic Bret Harte trial- scene. A Local Playright. Bociety circles are interesied in the forth- coming production at the California Thea- ter of the comedy-drama “Back®o the O1d Home,” which has been written by Lotta Day Coleman. The authoress is a Native Daughter of the Golden West and was born in Marysville in June, 1872, and was educated in the schools of that city, re- ceiving her finishing education at a pri vate seminary. Mrs. Coleman has tra: eled extensively all oyer America, and the play she has written is said to be the re- sult of & close observation of nature and the careful study of the inhabitants of Vermont, where the scenes of “Back to the Old Home'’ are laid. A professional company has been engaged by the author- ess, and is now rehearsing under her di- rection, and the production at the Califor- nia Theater this month of Mrs. Coleman’s play will be watched by her numerous friends with considerable interest. A Gilded Offer. De Wolf Hopper recently received the following proposition by letter from a New York club man: “If you will let me play the partof Edmund Stanley in ‘El Capitan’ for one night only I will pay his salary for a week and give you $100 be- sides.” Hopper was mystified at this offer until the letter was shown to Nella Bergen, who plays the partof Stanley’s sweetheart. he pretty blonde prima donna recognized the letter as thatofa lovelorn youth who had written her sev- eral amatory letters and had vainly sought to make her acquaintance. Hopper re- fused the youth's gilded offer, but what a pretty story it would have made had he accepted, for then the lady would have been forced to listen to the bona fide pro- testations of a supposedly make-believe lover who had paid for the privilege. Downing’'s New Play. “In Search of Happiness,” the play which Robert Downing proauced for the first time in this country in Washington last Monday evening at the National The- ater, was originally written for John Mc- Cullough. Longfellow, 1t 1s said, once pronounced it an unusually strong play and wrote a letter to the tragedian asking him to produce the play in Boston. The Elay. which was originally written in the nglish language, has been translated into thé Greek by a well-known American scholar and is said to have achieved suc- cess in the capital of Greece. ‘‘In Search of Happiness” 1s a pathetic piay dealing with the strongest of human passions— love and honor—honor on the part of man, 1ove on the part of woman. And the most unexpected denouement is finally reached. A duicy Retort. There is a young lady in one of Charles H. Hoyt's companies of whom the play- wright manager expects great things. Here is a sample of her wit, of which Mr. Hoyt likes to tell: It appears that the young lady,who may be donominated as Miss H.,was an artist’s model before she went on the stage. One day -he heard that a certain artist was in search of a model, and presented herself as an applicant. “But, my dear,” said the artist, *‘I paint fruil_pictures, and—" “Well, that's all right,” retorted Miss H., *I'm a peac Lillian’s Retort. “I met Patti once,” remarked Lillian Russell to George Lederer, during one of the pauses at a rehearsal of ““An American Beauty.” ‘It wasat a hotel in St. Louis. She was walking in the corridor smoking a cigarette. - “‘Oh, you are the young girl I heard sing last night,” she said. ‘You havea wonderfully beautiful voice. Take good care of it.” “4f 1 follow your example,’ I replied, with a significant glance at the cigarette smoke, ‘I won’t have it long.’ “‘Patti lauglied and shrugged her shoul- ders. ‘Oh, you mustn’t mind me,’ she aaded, ‘I'm an old woman!” Dramatic Brevities. L. R.Stockwell's engagement at Morosco's lasts only four weeks. Julia Marlowe is to follow “The Prisoner of Zenda’ at the Baldwin, The rose matinee given at the Alcazar yes- terday was a novel and pretty success. John Drew has signed a contract to continue under Charles Frohman’s mansgement three years longer. Nina Boucicault, a_daughter of Dion Bouci- cault, will come to America with Beerbohm Tree’s company. Some very handsome scenery has been es- E’ccuny painted for “Mr. Potter of Texas” at 0rosco’s Grand Opera-house. Nat C. Goodwin, according to the Australian papers just received, has made & most pro- nounced success in Meibourne. Mr. and Mrs. Russ Whytal are to make thetr first appearance in San Francisco as stars in “For Fair Virginia” during the season. Marie Wainwright will play leading roles with Wilton Lackaye's com -ng. She s said to have & splendid part in “Br. eligraff.” Miss Beatrice Lieb, who makes her first ap- pearance with the Aleazar stock company to- morrow night, was for many years James O'Neill's leading support. Della Fox expects to secure the right for this country to F. C. Burnand’s musical farce. ‘The Telephone Girl,” lately produced in London with marked success. So great has been the success of Mr. Drew in “Rosemary,” at the Empire, that Olga Nethersole’s time has been canceled. and will not be seen in New York until Febr: and then at the Knickerbocker. Y Marcus Mayer arrived from Europe last Fri- day. The new Imperial Italian Opera Com- pany, of which he is the American representa- tive, will make its first lpggulce at the Academy of Music on Getober 26. Park Music To-Day.
