The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, October 18, 1896, Page 26

The aramatic outlook is cleverly de- scribed 1n a dislogue between a criticand a dramatist published in the St. James Ga- zette, “During all these years,” says the critic reproachfully to the dramatist, ‘‘you fellows have been led on to play ex- clusively upon the intellect of audiences. Well, one fine day, as might have been | anticipated, it suddenly coliapsed, and up sprang the emotions with, ‘Now, it's our turn.””’ From New York and Boston, London and Paris the same newscomes. Emo- tion and romance are to rule the roost in the new dramatic productions, and the back parlor immorality of Ibsen and Su- rmann, and the vice and water of ero, and the other English dramatists who have followed timidly and taikily in r footsteps, are all to be cleaned out the sunlight of healthy, houest sen ti- tis to be let in once more. Adien econd Mrs. Tanqueray,” farewell “Re- . The lady with a “past” d the wife with “new” views are dead as or pail, and the sweet young thing who wants to give her hand where she gives her heart is to be all the 20" in natic circles this winter. Many peovle say the success of “The Prisoner of Zenda’’ last season had a great deal to do with the routing out of the problem play, but I think there is a nat- ural reaction against the presence of small talk and the absence of movement, which have characterized the dramas produced during the last few years. Anyway, the success of the dawning season, both in America and England, promises to be “The Two Little Vagabonds,” adopted from the French of *'Les Deux Gosses.” It contains more sentiment than *‘East Lynne” and the “Two Orphans” roiled o one, and hardened first-nighters and blase critics manfully confess that they bhave moistened handkerchiefs over it. “The Two Little Vagabonds” received its first American production in the hub of the universe a couple of weeks ago, and brainy Boston bedewed it with the tribu- tary tear. Talking of weeping in the theater, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” has always been a champion tear-extractor, and if little Mil- dred’s Eva last week did not make strong men sob it brought some of them to the verge of that emotion. Iknow it, because 1 observed several sturdy specimens of California manhood blowing their noses with unnecessary violence just at the time when Eva was telling her *‘popper’” about | going to join the’ angels. If anything could reconcile me to that impossible specimen of saintly childhood it would be little Mildred’s impersonation of Eva. Most precocious infants make Eva a pe- | dantic little prig, but Mildred was pa-} thetically natural and childlike, and she looked frail and ethereal enough to be an angel herself, if angels are characterized by consumptive tendencies. [ made it a duty—and a pleasure—to see a performance of “The Wife’s Peril” at the Alcazar last week. Francis Powers | was the young man who introduced the peril element, and he played the partof | the would-be desecrator of the Winthrops’ domestic hearth with guilt stamped upon | his brow. If the husband had been even | more guilelessly unsuspicious than he was, and had no *unselfish” friends to | open his eyes, Powers’ guilty hang-dog | look ought to have assured him that all was not well. He wasa Greenery-yellowy, Grosvenor gallery, Foot in the grave young man, as they say in *‘Patier.ce,”” and he looked soulful enough to satisfy even Mrs. Ger- trude Atherton’s yearnings for more sonl. I have no confidence in soulful men my- self. They may pretend that they dine off a lily and sup off a dewdrop, but I wounld not imperil the safety of an oyster-supper by leaving it alone with one of them. Powers looked just the sort of souliul young man that it would be well to keep an eye on. Jobn T. Sallivan and J. B. Polk gave clever character studies of that good fel- low Winthrop and his faithful physician, put they were too fond of the part of the stage where the prompter’s still small voice can best be heard. I was flabagas- tered to see them continually tacking toward the prompt side, because one never suspecis actors of their ability of having a speaking acquaintance with the prompter. Carl Smith, as Major Dolittle, knew his ines and acted with refreshing vigor. His makeup was perfect, and the brutal agzressiveness of his walk and the arro- gant way in which he put his hands into his packets never failed to bring down a laugh at the touching phrase, I wish I was selfish.” Theodore, his who tortured the major’s heart and his own internal arrangements, by smoking cigar ends, was well played by F. B. Clay- ton. Altogether the Alcazar Company is doing very nicely indeed and the plays are most artistically staged. There was a gathering of the clans of light-opera lovers at the Tivoli on Mon- day night which gave conclusive proof of Hartman’s popularity as a comedian. The jovial Ferris was quite unknown to fame as an extravaganza writer, but his friends were anxious to sample his first attempt and went prepared to judge his work leniently. To say that they were surprised at his offering would be putting it milaly. ‘The best proof of their feelinus is afforded by the fact that they went again the next night and took their friends. Ever since if you want a good seat at the Tivoli you must book it anead, or you may perchance have to stand. « Hartman says he wrote his extravaganza in a sylvan retreat, where there was a trout stream and no population to speak of, I suppose before doing so he sent to New York ana London for all the latest popu- lar music, subscribed to every comic paper in the land, and, having received consign- ments of the goods ordered, set to work to arrange and adapt them to his own ends. Very skilliully he has accomplished his task. Weary Willie and Dusty Rhodes, the two wicked tramps who abduct the | [ son, | N N\ (X p'.B"N babes, are “funny without being vulgar,’’ as Grossmith once said of Beerbohm Tree’s Hamlet, and the babes are all that comic babes should be. The other char- acters are interesting, and there iinota dull bar in the music. A good many peo- ple and institutions, such aslocal bieycling clubs, have been satirized in *‘The Babes m the Wood,” but the skit is so good- natured that it is easy to see no offense is meant, and none seems to have been taken. MARIE EVELYN. Greenroom (ossip. The stagahands at the Grand say that the most blood-curdling melodrama Man- ager Morosco can put on will henceforth appear tame and uneventful to them, com- pared to their own personal experiences last Monday night. The excitement came about through indulgence in politics, and it happened in this wise: Manager Mor- osco had hired a couple of bloodhounds to do a turn in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” and it was understood that the owner of the noble animals should be on hand to aid and advise them in case they suffered from stage fright. At rehearsal the canines tracked a sau- sage concealed in Mr. Stockwell's um- brella with an intelligence and skill which raised the highest expectations for their success. Monaay night came and with it the dogs, but not their owner nor their owner’s wife. It was understood that the gentleman could not tear himself away from a political meeting, which claimed his attention, and that his wiie haua to attend a gathering of lady suffragists. The doggies were accompanied by a young woman, who frankly confessed that she had not the least control over them, and the stagehands soon found to their sorrow that she spoke but too truly. At first the behavior of the dogs was most exempiary, but anon they chafed at having to wait for their turn, and com- menced prowling about the vasty resions behind the Grand Opera-house stage. Now, Mr. Stockwell had left the um- brella containing the sausage in the prop- erty man’s charge, and unerring instinet led the bloodhounds to track the succu- lent morsel to its lair. They both fell upon it at once, and, as botn could not de vour it simultaneously, came to growls, then to blows and finally broke into a fight which, for earnestness of purpose and stern determination to conquer, could have given pointers to Pompadour Jim and _Sailor-boy Sharkey. The stage- hands were terrified lest the din of battle should penetrate to the ears of the audi- ence, and yet each realized that it was as much as his life was worth to attempt to separate the combatants. That figut was the reason why two limp and mangled bloodhounds “disap- pointed” tbe audience on Monday night, and why the stagebands have acquired a superstitious dread of letting even a yel- low dog put his nose behind the scenes at the Grand. Gustav Walter swells with justifiable pride and joy whenever he beholds the painting and decorating and frescoing which have lately been done at the | Orpheum, but his special delight is in the new entrance doors—heavy, highly var- nished doors that contain sheets of beauti- ful looking-glass, which are tenderly pol- ished every morning. Not long ago Manager Wal ter was in his counting-house engaged, like the king of the nursery rhyme, in counting out his money, when one of his myrmidons rushed breathlessly in to say thai the gallery boys were becoming impatient at not being able to get in all at once and that some of the disappointed ones were kicking at the varnished doors, **Ach, Gott in Himmel!” cried Walter. “My new docors?”’ “Yes, your new doors,” replied the myrmidon, whose words were corroborated by sounds of dull, sickening thuds coming from the entrance. Manager Walter is a man of action. He tarried only to lock up his money and then rushed to the entrance and threw himself with Napoleonic strategy in front of his cherished doors, crying, “‘Gentle- men, don’t be in such a burry. The first part of the show is no good, anyway. You'll see all that’s worth seeing if you don’t get in for half an hour.” ““‘And to think,” said an employe of the house in telling the story, ‘that the old man called the first part of his show ‘No good.” How he must love those doors!” Baldwin Theater. The engagement of Julia Marlowe Taber and Robert Taber at the Baldwin Theater begins to-morrow evening. It is four years since Julia Marlowe made her only appearance in this City, and at that time she awoke keen interest. The repertoire will consist of several Shakespearean plays and a dramatization of George Eliot’s “‘Romola,” by Elwyn A. Barron, which will be presented on the opening night. ‘‘Romola’” was only es- sayed by the Tabers a few week- ago, and it seems to have scored acomplete suc- cess. The following repertoire will be adhered to during the first week of the Tabers’ en- gagement: Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day evenings and Saturday matinee, “Ro- mola’’; Thqmda[y and Friday evenings, “As You Like It,” and Saturday night, “Much Ado About Nothing.” The **Romeo and Juliet” production will open the sec- ond week. Golumbia Theater. The Colambia’s offering to-morrow even- ing will be the Broadway Comedians in a. brand-new farce comedy entiled “Town Tovics.” Itisin three acts, the first con- sisting of comedy situations and dialogue, the second almost entirely of specialties and burlesque, and the third, with the ex- ception of a_iew specialties, being given over to farcical play and the unraveling of the piot. & tty girls, new songs, dances and bur- ———————————————— NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS, S S .

Tivoli Opera-House. “The Babes in the Wood,” from: the pen of the favorite comedian, Ferris Hartman, has met with such success at the Tivoll that it will be continued iill farther no- tice. For this week new matter will be added, and a new edition is in course of preparation. After the run of ‘‘The Babes in the Wood” Johann Strauss’ opera ‘‘The Gypsy Baron” will be given, to be fol- lowed by such works as ‘‘Donna Juauita,” “The Pretty Poacher, ’ ete. Grand Opera-House. Florence Bindley, a musical comedienne, opens to-morrow evening in her own play, “The Pay Train,” which she describes as a “realistic comedy drama.” “The Pay Train” opens with the murder of the heroine’s grandfather by the villain. The action of the play then reveals plot and counterplot, as the villain weaves only to have his plans unravelea by the daring heroine, who eventually wins her father’s liberty and happiness. As the play progresses the heroine frus- trates a train robbery by cutting loose the engine just as tbe pay train dashes across the stage with the robbers in the treasure- car. Many new songs and dancesare to be intreduced and Miss Binaley will perform on a variety of musical instruments. Alcazar Theater. Belasco and Paul Potter’s society play, “The Ugly Duckling,” will receive its first San Francisco production at the Aleazar to-morrow evening. It takes its title from oneof Hans Andersen’s fairy tales and the scene is laid in New York society. “The Ugly Duckling” is said to be fuli of strong dramatic situations and special pains have been taken to give it a good mounting. The title role, in which Mrs, Leslie Car- May Buckley, who has conscientiously studied every gesture and inflection that it took Mrs. Carter two years to acquire.

Herr Grais, who will make his San Francisco debut to-morrow, comes from the Folies Bergeres, Paris, and he brings with bim a trained donkey and baboon, who give imitations of a circus. Among the numerous other new peorle this week will be Colby and Way, with novel ventriloguism, Ilmer, Burke and Delmar with a grotesque musical act, El- doa and Norina, who are said to be clever equilibrists and juggiers, and Clayton, Jenkins and Jasper; who will be remem= bered by every one who saw the Hopkins ter made her debut, will be played by Miss | show here. also remain. At the Ghutes. During the past'week much interest has been taken by local wheelmen in the thirty-five mile relay race at the Chutes, between the C. C. and S. F. C. ciubs. The race finishes this afterncon, and at the termination the trophy cup will be given to the wiaing club. Pirri, the demon cyclist, has been ‘‘chuting” nightly, and makes two trips to-da{, afternoon and evening. Professor Frank Miller, the aeronaut, makes a balloon ascension and parachute drop this afternoon at 4:30. 'The casino will shortly be turned into a rollerrink. Some of last week’s favorites Lasaux Benefit. A grand testimonial penefit will be tendered to Harry E. de Lasaux by the different clubs and societies of this City, and by his friends, at Native Sons’ Hail, an the 26th inst. Mr. Lasaux has played as an amateur 1n this City for twelve years. An interesting programme has been arranged for his benefit. Where They Always Laugh. There is always some point in a play which the actors find by experience will bring a laugh from the house at every per- formance. The followine is when the loudest laugh comes in at some of last and this week’s plays: ‘‘Prisoner of Zenda’': - Young Rudolph Rassendyll aided by Colonel Sapi and young Fritz is imperson- ating the King. Black Michael and Madume de Mauban have discovered the plot and threaien exposure. Rudolpnand his two colleagues are in a dilemma and the following dialogue is one that never fails to bring forth a round of laughter from the audience: Colonel Sapt—There is only one way out of it. Rudolph—And that is— Colonel S8apt—To stay in it. “The Ugly Duckling'’: Professor Graydon (aside to Mr. Ganby) —Your wife is radiant to-night, you know. She reminds me of a morning glory. Mr. Ganby—I wish she were one. Professor Gravdon— Why? Mr. Gandy—Because she’d shut up at nizht. “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”: A catchy but almost forgotten slang phrase is brought to mind as Phineas Fletcher sadly pronounces: “Woe unto him who committeth offense! Woe unto the evil-doer who repenteth not! Woe unto him who committeth persecution! Wh-o-a Emmal” Riley and Hughes, the black-face team at the Orpheum, s<pring a ‘‘gag” that brings down the house. In telling it they Sunday evening audience the “‘gag” would be repeated as follows: ‘Which is proper, to-morrow is Tuesday, or to-morrow will be Tuesday 2’ “Oh, dat's easv. Why, to-morrow will pe Tuesday, of course. Askmesomething hard.” “Youlose.” “How’s dat?"” “To-morrow will honey.” What Is «Trilby's” Charm? Du Maurier says that he was killed by the successof “Trilby.” Itisinteresting to know just wherein this success lies and the foilowing are the opinionsof a few men, whose business 1t is to know a good play when they see it. Strange to say, no two of them agree, Munager Friedlander—When I first read be Monday. My - v wepe o ool W/fl/ffi/ | o the story of “Trilby” I must confess I never could see a play in it, therefore I must give Paul Potter full credit for h ing made from Du Maurier’s famous book a stage entertainment that will live be- yond the lite of any ordinary fad. Manager Morosco—I consider the credit for the success of “Trilby” as a play is due to Du Maurier, for however cleverly Paul Potter dramatized it, the fact re- mains that he would not have had any- thing to dramatize if the novel ha! not been written. The pictures of the Latin quarter are the charm of the play. Manager Belasco—The thorough Bohe- mian element in “Trilby” and its truth to nature have made it one of the most suc- cessful plays produced during the last three years. The character drawing is due | to Du Maurier, but credit must be given to Paul Potter, for the dramatist has to tell in a few words what the novelist can take pages to describe. A. J. Moore—The success of “Trilby"” with the masses is due to its mystery. The majority of people know little or noth- ing of hypnotism and they are fascinated by the unknown. It is interesting for the insight it givesinto hifein the Latin quartar, but otherwise I do not think ““Triiby"” has any particular literary value. 'W. H. Leahy—The whole idea of *'Tril- by’ always seemed to me weird, grew- some and unnatural. I acknowledge that as a play it is very effective, but the whole story is too unnatural to give me any pleasure, Fernando Michelena—It'd a perfectly ; possible and natural idea to make a per- son with no ear sing under the mflu:nc: of hypnotism, 1f the organs are there Hypnotism is a mental suggestion, and & woman without a yoice couid not sing, however much she was hypnotlzed. but supposing that the fine organs were there, and a musician hypnotized her, it is quite reasonable to suppose that she could sinz, under his mental suggestion. And such is fame—no two people can agree wherein it lies. * Dramatic Brevities. Maude Adams becomes a star at the head of her own company under the direction of Charles Frohman next September. The five wicked little Barrison sisters are ap- parently not nuughty enough to make any proiound impression in New York. On November5 the Columbia Theater School of Dramatic Art will give its next eatertain- ment at ihe Coiumbia Theater,when some new plays by local authors will be presented. Miss Anna Daly’s mauy friends tendered her a farewell concert on Thursaay eveming, which in allgespects was very successful. The chief item was the comedietta of ““The Happy Pair,” in which Miss Daly very successfully portrayed a bride’s idea of mairimonial hap- piness, while Dr. Frank Robinson was equa. Ly clever in showing the obverse side of the shield. : J\]Ew NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS. SAN FRANCISCO. CAL LOS ANGELES WALTER. YORK QFFICE 42 W. 307H. STREET. . ESTAB. 1887. CAL.
