THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1896 - BALDWIN THE PRISONER. OF ZENDA. It’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good and the press agent knows how to make capital out of every gale of misfor- tune. Here is his latest experience in turn- ing adversity to sweet uses: A few weeks | agoa tragic accident happened in Lon- | don. The actors had to fight a duel on the mimic staze. They did not rehearse with swords, but on the night of the first performance the property-man gave them their weapons, which they used so realisti- cally that the delighted andience wanted | to give a recall. Rounds of applause | eame again and again, but the man who | bad fallen did not get up and bow before the footlights as dead actorsare in the habit of doing. He was dead in real ear- nest, killed by a thrust of his comrade’s | sword. When the horrible truth dawned upon his comrades the curtain was low- | ered and the audience dismissed from the | play, which had ended in an unrehearsed tragedy. The next day the papers were | full of lamentations over the sad event | and blame was given to the management for the carelessness which had permitted sharp swords to be used without first test- ing them thoroughly at rehearsal. The grotesque feature of this sad bit of stage realism is, that ever since the fatal duel, actors (on the authority of their press agents) have taken to fighting with the sanguinary ferocity of Roman glaaiators. Grismer, who is doing a duel in the East, has several times escaped fromw the jaws of death since the London tragedy, and (if their press agents are to be believed) a number of other distinguished actors have suddenly developed such sanguninary in- stincts in plays containing duels, that the services of physicians are in constant requisition to bandage and sew up the wounds of their victims. It is to be hoped that there will not be manslaughter at the Baldwin next week, but we are told that James K. Hackett, the leading man in the “Prisoner of Zenda,”" is a ferocious youth, six feet tall, who slashes through his duels with reckless disregard for human life. According to advance notices: *‘He has two duel scenes auring the progress of the vlay, one in the prologue and one in the last act. His passage at arms is had with two different individuals, and he warms up with such vigor and interest in these set-tos that he has at various times made them both subjects for a hospital in one night.” Fancy seeing human gore shed on the Baldwin stage! Hackett should be bound over to keep the peace, or else his press agent should be bound over to restrain his too fervid imagination. Golumbia Theater. This is the farewell week of the Frawley company at the Columbia Theater, or rather it is the au revoir week, for the Frawleys will return for the holidays in order to present some new plays. It has been decided to devote this week to De Milie and Belasco’s *“Lost Para- dise,” which seems to be the most popular of the whole repertoire. In this work the authors deal with the labor question and with the human interests which center around the reiations between the owner of a big ironworks and_his employes. There are many thrilling situations and startling climaxes, and the writers have been care- ful not to draw conclusicns which could be offensive either to capitalists or to la- borers. The cast is almost the same as when “The Lost Paradise” was last played at the Columbia Theater. On leaving this City the Frawleys will make a short stay at Los Angeles, after which they will go to Honolulu to open the new opera-house, - Next week “Trilby” opens a season at the Columbia with the company just ar- rived from Australia. Tivoli Oper;ilouse. The last nights of the successful season of grand opera at the Tivoli Opera-house are being devoted to a presentation of Verdi’s**Aida.” The production is an elab- orate one, the scenery, costumes and ac- cessories all being costly. The double cast includes Mme. Natali and Ida Va- lerga, alternating as Aida, Miss Bernice Hoimes as Amneris, Signor Michelena and Rhys Thomas alternating as Radames, Signor Maurice de Vries and John J. Raf- fael alternating in the barytone role of Amonasro, the Ethiopian King, Signor Abramoff as Ramfis, the_high priest, and Signor Napoleoni as the King. The next opera promised is a revival of Balfe’s romantic work, “Satanella.” In this opera the Tivoli’s new soubrette, Eivia Crox Seabrooke, will make her first appear- ance in this City, as will also Maurice Darcy, a lieht comedian and baryione. Signor Abramoff is especially engaged for the role of Arimanes, the Demon King. This production will give way to the new hnrlesr;ue entitled “The Babes Wood,” by Ferris Hartman. At tl\e_O‘rp}\eum. Gustave Walter announces the famous Hawaiian band and glee club as his chief attraction at the Orpheum this week. It will appear in connection with the regular vaudeville programme. J. 8. Liborino is still the director of the band. He isa well-known musician, whoreceived hised- ucation at the musical college of Madrid and won distinction for himself as a saxo- phone soloist. He first came forward prominently as a conductor when Le or- ganized a band of fifty Spanish musicians and made a tour of the world. The Ha- waiian band does not confine its efforts to native arias, but also renders classical and popular music. In addition to the Hawaiian band the Orpheum’s programme this week will in- clude Anna Suits, who is said to be a new and clever vaudeville star. Master Walter Leon will appear in a change of pro- gramme. The vaudeville bill also contains the Carpos Brothers, Lew Hawkins, Fer- guson and Mack, Marguerite Ferguson and Riley and Hughes. Alcazar Theater. **School” will be the bill at the Alcazar Theater this week. In itJohn T. Sullivan, as Lord Beaufoy, will have a chance to add to his laurels. The rest of the cast will be made up as follows; Beau Farin- tosh, J. B. Polk; Dr. Sutcliffe, Harold Vizard; Jack Poyntz, Frank Doane; Mr. Krux, Carl Smith; Mrs. Sutcliffe, Mrs, F. M. Bates; Bella, May Buckley; Naomi Tighe, Amy Lee; Tillie, Agnes Castro; and the youngladies of the seiminary will be played by the Misses Chase, Powell, Du Vaull, Langdon. Baby Lewis will also appear. Baldwin Theater. “The Prisoner of Zenda” company, headed by James K. Hackett and Isabel Irving, will arrive in this City direct from Cincinnati, Ohio. The company numbers thirty-five people and it will carry with it across the continent_all the scenery, his- torical costumes and stage settings which were used in the original production. The company will rest until Monday, October 5, when “The Prisoner of Zenda” will begin a two weeks’ engagement at the Baldwin. Grand Opera-House. **The Bhadows of a Great City’ will be produced at the Grand to-morrow night. The cast will include Miss Victory Bate- man, R. L. Stockwell, Howard Kyle, Lot- tie Williams, Edward Heron, Frank Hatch, Julia Blanc and Henry Benrimo. At the Chutes. At the Chutes this afternoon a new per- former, in the person of C. W. Vosmer, will, at half-past 4 o’clock, make a balloon ascension and parachute drop. He is just from the East, and brines with him the reputation of being a daring and skill- ful balloonist. Antonio Pirri will make his customary dashes down the chutes and into the lake on his bicycle in the afternoon, and the institution will be opened from 10 in the morning till 11 at night. Gongratulates Herself. Miss Wainwright has & new reason to believe that “honesty is the best policy.” She signed a contract to support Wilton Lackaye in “Dr, Beleraff”’ the day before his departure for the Pacific Coast. All the summer the ‘‘Brooks-Miner” syndi. cate has been trying to persuade Miss Wainwright to break her contract with Mr. Lackaye in order to join its com any. Miss Wainwright steadfastly refused. Now at the very outset of the season the syndicate has dissolved, in the | Laura, Hattie Foley; | MORQSCOS Aug PIXLEY actors who refused other offers this sum- mer to whistle for next season’s engage- ment. Bernhardt's Dilemma. In spite of her starring toar and all her other pressing engagements, Sarah Bern- hardt has found the time to write ‘a play, making good use of hints given her by Sardou, to whom she showed her first draft of the plot. She is very much Yerplexed just now where and how she will be able to present it to the public, for the principal part is, of course, written to snit herself. But, according to the by-laws of the So- ciety of Dramatic Authors, of which sheis & member, she cannot perform her own play in a theater of which sheis proprietor and manager. BY ELEGJRIGITY. How the Authors of Frawley's New Play Gollaborated. ““The Social Trust,” recently produced at the Columbia, was written and re- hearsed under extraordinary conditions. During the period of its construction the authors seldom saw each other. Hillary Bell, the critic, was attending to his jour- nalistic duties in New York, while Ram- say Morris was traveling en tour with The Widow Jones.”” Constant inter- change of ideas was accomplished by wire and correspondence and finally the story was worked into shape. Then the au- thors took a vacation from business, went to Cape Cod and finished the play to- gether. By the time Frawley was ready to put the piece into rehearsal Ramsay Morris was once more on the road with his ~ company and Hillary Bell was back at his desk on the Press. The wires between San Francisco and New York were kept hot with mes- sages between the manager and authors, and a prodigious amount of money was spent in telegrams. As the reaearsals progressed Frawley saw certain points at which the play couid be improved, and he promptly telegraphed for instructions. These requests necessitated an immediate answer by wire, and for the first time in the annals of the stage a play was revised by electricity. During the rehearsal period this sum- mer Hillary Bell was at the Oriental, Man- hattan Beach, while Ramsay Morris was in Boston, and constant communication nad to be maintained by telephone. Thus, with 300 miles between the authors and 1500 miles between them and the stage manager ““The Social Trust’’ was rehearsed, Bell and Morris Jost flesh over this experi- ence, and both are more prematurely gray than ever. TIRED OF MONOTONY. Viola Allen Says an Actress’ Days Are All Alike. Miss Viola Allen, leading woman of Charles Frohman's Empire Stock Com- pany, regards her profession with a dis- cerning eye. She can picture the life of an actress philosophically and compare it with that of a woman at home. “The women who keeps her house, washes on Monday, irons on Tuesday, sweeps on Friday, bakes on some other day and goes visiting the rest of the time, has less monotony in her life than an actress,” she says. ‘‘An actress’ days are all ahke. One hour of the day she must devote to bathing and dressing, an- other hour to exercise of some kind, for embonpoint is her bete mnoir. There are walking, Delsarte antics, stupid leaving many | pulleys and dumbbells, massage—haif a dozen other things equally as tiresome—as a remedy, but it is only eternal vizilan ce that makes any of them effective—and going on without every blessed thing to eat and drink that you enjoy. ““There is your mail to l00k over—the struggling aspirants for histrionic fame, the autozraph fiend, the photographic col- lector, the advertisers of lotions, etc. Then there is the necessity of looking pretty eyery night. As long as one’s personality is her chief stock in trade there is some- thing solemn 1n the cut of a bang, a grave importance in the fit of a costume, and curling-irons and pigments rank as factors of success far above histrionic gifts and Delsartian graces.”” Dramatic Brevities. Mrs. Drew, it is reported, has retired per- manently from the stage. The Liliputians are among the performers coming to the Baldwin Theater this season. WIlL F. Pruette, the comic opera tenor, is the latest recruit to the continuous vaudeville ranks. Ferris Hartman’s new burlesque, “The Babes in the Wood,” is said to be e skit upon the latest fads of the day. John Warner, who was for many years asso- ciated with Abbey & Grau, will this season manage Richard Mansfield. The newest thing in dime museum freaks is billed &} “the man who can’t stop talking.” 1t is said he was formerly a pugilist. Julia Marlowe Tabor follows the “Prisoner of Zenda” at the Baldwin Theater. Miss Marlowe MLl be supported by her husband, Robert Ta- or. William D. Eaton, formerly a journalist in Chicago, has written a five-act romantic play for Frederick Warde, entitled “The Rise of Iskander.” Three years ago Lulu Glaser was a chorus girl. To-day she more than shares the honors with Francis Wilsondn “Half a King” at the Knickerbocker. Miss Rose Adler, who leaves for the Paris conservatory next month, is to be given a fare- well concert at Odd Fellows’ Hallon Wednes- day evening, October 7. Mrs. Jordan, the daring gymnast, did not learn her trapeze business until after she was married. Aas farmer's daughter she merely climped trees and fences, She is said to take more pride in her housework than in her fly- ing leaps and dives. Miss Anna Daly will have s farewell testi- monisl on Thursday evening, October 15, at Native Sons’ Hall. Miss Daly leaves shortly for New York, where she expects to join Miss Coghlan’s company. She is young, ambitious, yers painsiaking and is working hard to suct ceed. Two prominent English players will appear in De Koven and Bmith's new opers, “The Mandarin.” They are George Hovey and Alice Barnet. Miss Barnet was formerly & member of the London Savoy Company, and was the original Lady Jane in ‘‘Patience,” Katisha in “The Mikado” ana Ruth in “The Pirates of Penzance.”’ “Lost, Stolen or Strayed” has made quite & success at the Fifth-avenue Theater, New York City. The interesting feature of the first per- formance was the success achieved by two hitherto unknowh young women—Fanny Bulkley and Georgia Caine. Miss Caine hails from San Francisco, She isa promising sou- brette, whose success in ‘“Lost, Stolen or Strayed” is likely to create a demand for her services. BUILDERS WANT A CHANCE A Protest Against the Action of the Board of Edu- cation. The Plans for the New Mission High School the Subject of Contro- versy. The Board of Education will not be al- lowed to go on with its preparations for erecting a high school building in the Mission without a protest from the Build- ers’ Exchange regarding the manner in which the plans for the structure have been drawn. A representative of the Exchange called at the rooms of the board at the City Hall yesterday and talked the matter over with Secretary Beanston and departed to call on Chairman Comte of the Judiciary Com- mittee. The Exchange takes the position that under tbhe law the Board of Education must advertise for plans when it desires to build a new schoolhouse and has no right to regularly employ an architect to do its work. Its contention is based on a section of an act passed by the Legislature in 1872, entitled: ‘‘An act to regulate the erection of public buildings and schools’” and reads as follows: Section 1. When by any statute of this State power is given to any Staie or county officer or officers, or any Board of Bupervisors, or cor- poration, or any Board of Trustees, or Com- missioners, or any person or persons created or appointed by any such statute, to erect or cause to be erécted or constructed any State or county or other building or structure, it shall be tne duty of the said officer or_officers, Board of Supervisors, corporation, or Board of Trustees, or Commissioners, or other person or persons to advertise for plans and specifica- tionsin detail for said building or other struc- ture, and to state in said advertisement the amount authorized by law or otherwise to be expended for the erection of said building or structure ; and also the premium to be awarded to the architect whose plans and specifca- tions for the same may be adopted. To the members of the exchange this makes it appear plain that the plans should be open to competitjon, and a de- termined effort is to be made to give the architects in the exchange a chance at the plans for the $200,000 building. On the same day thatthe act quoted was passed, the Legislature passed another law entitled ““An act to provide for the support of the common schools of the City and County of San Francisco and to define the powers and duties of the Board of Education thereof.” Section 10 reads: To bulld, alter, repair, rent and provide schoolhouses and furnish them with proper school furniture, apparatus and school ap- pliances, and to insure any and all school property. 1t is believed by a majority of the mem- bers of the board that under this special act it is justified in employing Architect Havens, but as this is the first time a ques- tion in the matter has been formally raised the subject will be thoroughly investigated and an opinion from the City and County Attorney probably asked. . ST. MARY'S COLLEGE WON. Santa Kosa High School Defeated in Season’s First Football Match. St. Mary’s College won from the Santa Rosa High School at Central Park yester- day afterncon in the first football match of the season. The score was 10 to 4. With a’ month’s less practice and a much lighter team the high school boys acquitted themselves creditably, particu- larly in the second half, when they came near evening the score by continuous small gains that called forth repeated l?‘ plause for their plucky uphill fight. It was a clean game throughout, no ques- tionable tactics marrng the play. The' halfbacks on both sides, as very often occurs, won the greatest individual glory, because of their more evident value in advancing the ball. Neither fullback attempted to punt, and the Santa Rosa man could not, or the score might have been different. Santa Rosa started the game with a or little kick from center. The col- cgians failed to recover ground and soon lost the ball on downs. Santa Rosa then advanced steadily, but fumbled near the fifteen-yard line.” St. Mary’s got the ball and worked it back across the field toa touchdown, losing it only once, but soon recovering on Santa Rosa’s inability to advance. The second touchdown was most & repetition of the first exhibition, the heavier team going through the opposing line about as it pleased for short ains. < In the second half the collegians were on the defensive most of the time, the Santa Rosas going at them fast and furi- ously and gaining a little at one side and then at the other against defensive play as weak apparently as their own. Santa Rosw’s touchdown was made near one corner of the field and proved too difficult for a goal. Again, after the kick-off, the public xcuool boys moved steadily down the field. At a critical moment they fumbled, and when the whistle blew for the end of the game the ball was on St. Mary's forty-yard line. Following ase the elevens as the players faced each other. The stripped weights indicate what each man had to oppose in the avoirdupois of his vis-a-vis: 8. Mary's. PosITION: Mahoney, 135 Hastings, 14. SANTA RoSA. Reeve, 128 rdelett, 150 .

Freud Under the Direction of the Citiz:ns’ Charter Association. The following is a continuation of the catechism of the new charter prepared by J. Richard Freud under the direction of the Citizens’ Association: CHAPTER XI. FINANCE AND REVENUE. Question—What objections are there to the present method of finance and revenue? Answer—It is uncertain, unsatisfactory and extravagant. Officials shirk their responsi- bilitics and there s no reasonable limit to ex- penditures. Why is this so? Mainly on account of the diversion of money fo the general fund and the lack of specific funds. Any other reason for this present unsatisfac- tory condition of the City’s finances? Yes, the limit of $1 taxes on the $100 valua- tion has been discarded, so that last year the countv tax reached the extravagant rate of $1 56 on the $100. What changes will the new charter make? The general fund will be abolished and twenty-four specific funds proyided, each of which will be kept separate and distinct. How about the limit of taxation ? The charter positively lumits the annual county tax levy to $1 07 on the $100 assessed valuation of r.ropeny. How rauch is that provision in the charter worth to the taxpayers of San Francisco? That provision alone would have saved the taxpayers of San Francisco during last year $1,532,300. CHAPTER XIIL PUBLIC WORKS IN SAN FRANCISCO. What public works or improvements has San Francisco securea during the past forty years? None, except Golden Gate Park and the new 11 Ci;ly Hi low about the streets, sewers, pavements, roads, school-buildings and jails? They are the worst of any large progressive city in the civilized world. Did they cost much money? About $34,000,000 has been spent upon the streets and sewers of San Francisco under the consolidation act. What is the trouble? The system is entirely wrong. Explain some of its defects. The streets, sewers and roads are in the divided charge of the Supervisors and Superin- tendent of Streets, and are used by them as political offices for their followers, who are, as & rule, utterly unfit for the duties. What is the result? Incompetency, extravagance, corruption and the present disgraceful and dangerous condi- tion of our public highways. CHAPTER XIIL PUBLIC WORKS UNDER THE CHARTER. dfl(;w will the charter prove to be the rem- edy It provides & competent Board of Pubiic Works, with a City Engineer who must be ten years a practical engineer and a Superintend- ent‘;! Public Works wbo must be a master builder. What will this body accomplish ? It will have fuli chlrfe of thesewers, streets, pavements and roads of the City, and will im- prove them in a scientific and sysiematic man- ner. Mention some of the particular improve- ments assigned to the Board of Public Works. It will insugurate a correct l{lbem of drain- e of the entire City and put all the wires and pipes in conduits along the sewers. " It will then lay down sanitary noiseless pavements and construct good roads. How will the large funds be raised for these purposes? The charter provides the means by bonding the City according to the State constitution, ust as in every other progressive city in the nited States. Will the citizens and taxpayers vote in favor of issuing bonds? They will surely do 8o under the new char- T. Why have they not done so before? Because they have no confidence in the past and present defective system of our municipal government. [To be continued.] —_———— Flannery Was Missing.
