THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, .OCTOBER 20, 1896. AT THEATER AND OPERA-HOUSE " The Tabers Open Their Sea- son at the Baldwin in “Romola.” “The Ugly Duckling” Captivated the Audience at the Alcazar. ¥UN IN THE “TOWN TQPICS. Attempted Robbery of the “Pay Train” at the Grand Opera-House Last Evening. Julia Marlowe Taber and Robert Taber opened their season at the Baldwin Thea- ter last night 1n an adaptation of George Eliot's “Romola,” by Elwyn A. Barron. Their reason for choosing this production for their inaugural performance must have. been that *‘Romols,” in its stage garb, is anovelty. The Tabers enly produced it a few weeks ago, and they spent a large sum of money in putting the work lavishly upon the stage, but also passed part of their summer holidays in Florence study- ing historic accessories and generally im- pregnating themselves with Florentine local celoring. The result of this study is seen in the | vlay, which last night presented a series of exquisitively beautiful tableaux. All the Italian local coloring, and all the finished and delightful acting of the ac- complished Tabers, however, would not gloss over the very apparent fact that “‘Romola’ has little to commend it as a drama. It begins with an absolute lack of action, and in the third act it blossoms into melo- drama., 4 The fourth act contains a bridge-leaping | scene, which is more thrilling than Steve Brodie’s Bowery bound, and the last act culminatesin a scene which should ap- peal to every gallery-boy’s heart—Tito’s newsboy very cleverly, and although Miss Joe Reeves has not a strong voice, she is a plump and pleasing little person, and sings very pretiily. Another amusing sct is the eircus-riding done by Herr Grais’ remarkatle trick donkey and baboon. Charles Colby is one of the clev- erest ventriloguists seen here for a long time, and Miss Allie Way’s dancing, as the mechani- cdl doll, was relished by the audience. Iler, Burk and Belmar played on various instru- men s, the saxophone solo being the only per- formence that had any musical value. They ended their act with a sort of harlequinade, in which they leaped through windows and chimneys, and came bounding out where they were least expected, in continually varying costume. Clayton, Jenkins and the accom- plished Jasper made their reappearance after over a years. apsemce, and were warmly greeted. " A very good juggling entertainment was given by Norine, assisted_by Eldora, and the Madrid Sextet completed ibe strong list of novelties. “Ugly Duckling’ at the Aleazar. The Alcazar stock company presented Mrs. Carter’s great society drama, “The Ugly Duck- ling,” very creditably to an _enthusiastic audience last night at the Alcazar. May Buck- ley, a direct antithesis to the adjective in the title role, played the part with a freshness, naiveness, winsomeness and a pathos in_turn that captivated the audience and brought out Tepeated encores in several scenes. ohn T. Sullivan’s make-upand acting as the Italian Countbenton a terrible revenge that is almost hypnotic in its intensity made Male- testa the strong character that the author, Paul Potter of Trilby drama fame, intended it should be. The others of the cast portrayed their parts most acceptably. ‘“The Ugly Duck- ling” is full of interest all the way through. Every scene is very dramatic and the play is one of the strongest that has yet been pre- sented at the Alcazar. The scenic effects and stage setting are excellent. f At the Tivoll. There was & large house at the Tivolllast night to inaugurate the second week of “The Babes in the Wood.” Most of the numbers were encored, some of them several times, and the whole performance went with plenty of spirit ana vi POTRERD CAMPAIGH GUNS Fired Last Night by Dare, O’Brien and Other Oratori- cal Guoners. A Pleasing Reference to Irving M Scott Loudly Applauded by the Andience. The Potrero Opera-house was crowded last night with mechanics and working- men to hear able speakers on- the present political issues. The meeting was cailed to order by T. C. Duff, who introduced Z. U. Dodge, chairman of the McKinley and Hobart Campaign Committee. After a few remarks W. F. Gibson, one of the framers of the new charter, was in- foster-father is watching in the rushes, | and Tito, limp and exhausted, crawls out | of the river. | *‘Baldassarre!” shrieks Tito on beholding | his enemy. ‘Yes, Baldassarra!” cries the | infuriated old man, and he at once falls | upon Tito and chokes the life out of him, | and Tito struggles and dies, gurgling| feebly. It wasthe old man's original in- tention to slay Tito with a butcher-knife, | h he stole from Tessa, but he had lost | n a previcus encounter with Tito—and | all this is not melodrama, what is? | The fact is that Elwyn A. Barron under- ' took a forlorn hope hen he dramatized | George Eliov's philosophieal, brilliant, | but wholly unaramatic novel. Eliot lends herself to dramatization about as readily as Wordsworth would do. Butto | people who were content to feast the eye! and ear and to admire what the actor's | art can do for an almost hopeless subject “Romola’ was a rare treat last night. | “‘Caviar to the general,” itis true, but| ihe few who appreciate caviar led the ap- | ! nto ecstasies” over Jalia | owe Taber’s intellectual, womanly | and altogether delightful and fascinating | on of the proud, loval, true-| Florentine.

On the stage it is next to impossible to depict all the subtleties and complexities -of the wily Greek’s character, but Robert Taber came near doing so. The rest of the cast was excellent. Savanarola, a very minor part in the play, was earefully acted by Barrett Roe, Bernardo del Nero was weil played by Dodson L. Mitcbell, and to name the other performers who showed talent and skill would be to go through the cast. The fourth act is followed by an epi- logue, which soothes the audience after the melodrama if anything couid soothe them for seeing so- much art layished on such an impossible play. There was a good house, which received the Tabers with warmth, but sustained rather than enjoyed ‘‘Romola.” At the Columbia. “Town Topics,” with which the Broadway comedians opened for a season at the Colum- bis last evening, is & lively jumble of bur- lesque, specialties and general fun-making from start to finish. There is no plot, not even the skelgton of a story, upon which to hang the farce-comedy, as it is called. It is only an entertainment of the most roliicking order. The principal roles are filled by: John Queen as Cinch, with racetrack idess; Wil- liam Keller as Hiram Quick, with ideas that don’t fit cable-cars and slot machines; Joseph Harrington as Chinnewsy, with nothing on bismind but his hat; James as Arthur | new-mown less disposition; of Willie Payne, Pembroke, with hey; William H. Frank Caverly a scent Mack as with champagne idess on a beer income; | Miss Nellie Bennett as Mrs. Qufck, with Kansas | ideas and s will of her own; Miss Beatrice 2 as Della Ware, with numerous en- gagements; Miss Elsie Nugent as Pearl-but- tons, with & taste for icecream, and an irides- cent bunch of beauties, whose only mission in life is to make Jife & happy thought. Misses Sennett, Nugent and Heckler go of dances called the *‘acro- batic” and the “whirlwind,” and the motions ot these performances were enough to make the audience, especially those in the front row of seats, catch their breaths. The house , and there is every indication that iarge audiences will be in order the rest of the week. At the Grand Opera-House. Fiorence Bindley succeeded in winrning the favor of a large audience at the Grand Opera- house last evening in her play, “The Pay Train.” Miss Bindley has a pleasing voice and manner and her musical contributions, especiaily her xylophone solo on the kind- lings in‘the wood pile, were warmly applauded. The piece is full of humor as well as senti- ment, end the mechanical effects often start- ling, especially the explosion of the locomotive thet is nauling the villain away from his pur- suers—a novel way of getting rid of the bad man of the play. There is an attempt to rob the pay train. and f e the robbers are foiled, and in a most nipg manner. Frank. Hatch as the »ine’s grandfather and Walter Fessler were d in their respective roles, while Mortimer w, who had seen better days, was a veri- eeimen of tramp literature. The whole ast is strong, and the play will draw good houses during the week. At the Orpheum. An unusually strong bill is being presented week at the Orpheum. Most of the acts e new, and some of them have come direct irom Paris and London. 4 A turn that went very strong last night wes 1hat of the three Brothers Horn and Miss Joe Reeves. Sinee the success of Chevalier, so many ‘bogus ‘‘Coster” people have been palmed off on a too-confiding public that it was a pleasure to_recognize genuine London lyr(‘s in the brothers and their clever little collaborator. One of the brothers took the Ppert of a memberof the shoeblack brigade, with aspirations toward the prize ring. In order to test his prowess he challenges a pass- ing society swell to a set-to with the gloves, end the gamy way in which the swell knocks the bootblack out almost made the house of and her | Tenbrooke as | Herman Krauss, with a boisterous but harm- | troauced. “The present election,” asserted Mr. Gibson, “involves the stability of the Nation and the honor of the American people. Prior to Cleveland’s election and under a Republican administration the National debt was. being paid off at the rate of $6,000,000 a_month, but the Demo- | crats were obliged from their wasteful methods to issue bonds to cover the run- ning expenses of the Government—a thing unprecedented in vur history.” Thomas B. O’Brien, nominee for Con- gress from the Fourth District, besought his audience, as a laboring man among them twenty years ago, to support the Re- | publican ticket and help woo back pros- erity. 3 Ex%nngressman W. H. Sawtelle of Du- luth. Minn., 1n exposing the impotency of the Democratic clamor against the Sher- man act of 1873 and the allegations that is | was passed by steaith and double-dealin:z, showed conclusively from the Congres- sional Record thar it had been before both houses for-three years and debated seven- ty-nine ¥imes. The speaker was loudly cheered when he said that under a free-trade policy the ships of our navy were built in England; but to Irving M. Scott the American peo- ple return thanks, for $3,000,000, the cost of the Oregon, remaining in this country, $2,000,000 of which went to labor alone. This remark was loudly ap- plauded. John T. Dare spoke of the importance of electing & Republican Legislature in order that a Republican Senator might be re- turned. Judge Swinnerton of Stockton indorsed the remarks made by Dare, and prophesied a grand Republican victory in California | November 3. A letter was received from Irving M. Scott, regretting his absence from the meeting, caused by the-arrival of the chairman of the Naval Committee of the House. sl S PLENTY OF BOOKMAKERS. Nearly Twenty ¥irms Will Lay Odds the Opening Day at Oakland. The betting ring at the new Oakland track is of ample dimensions, and 1t is not at all likely that on Saturday next, the opening day, the speculating fraternity will experience any difficulty in placing their coin. From the present outlook there will be at least seventeen layers of odds, and possibly more, chalking up prices. The firms that are mentioned as { cutting 1n_the first day are: Ed Wallace, Hughey Jones, Stuyvesant Club, Billy Beverly, Harlan & Co., George Rose, Pul- sifer & Co., Joe Rose, Hopkins & Co., Lawrence & Co., Paul Ridley, Eckert & Co., J. C. Humphrey, Tom Quinn, George Foster & Co., Eii Perles and the Butte Club. This large number should insure keen competition and fat prices will probably rule nntil some of the bank rolls begin to | assume a malarial aspect.

MUST RAISE A MARSH BLOCKADE Cordelia “Preservers” to Be Served With a Notice. Obstruction of a Navigable Slough Near Suisun Must Be Removed. HUNTERS MEAN BUSINESS. A Mass-Meeting of Sportsmen and Anglers Will Be Held Next Week. The Sportsmen’s Protective Association will hold a mass-meeting in this City next week to which all sportsmen and anglers are invited, due notice of which will be given in the advertising columns of THE CALL. Yesterday the attorney for the associa- tion, Major James Smith, held a consu! tion with Assistant United States Attor- ney Knight regarding the blockade of a navigable siough 1n the Suisun marshes. Mr. SMith produced sufficient evidence to satisfy the attorney that the Frank Horan slough was navigable, and to-day Mr. Kellogg, the president of the Cordelia Gun Club, will be served with a notice to remove the obstruction to navigation in the slough in question within twenty-four hours from the time of notification, otherwise action wiil be taken against the club and the man who was engaged by the club to corstruct a barrier at the month of the Frank Horan slough. Thomas Casey,a member of the Protective Association, who was appointed one of a committee on navigation, etc., said yes- terday that some years ago, when the rail- road company was having constructed a drawbridge over the Cordelia Slough, the siough which is now obstructed by a for- midable barrier to navigation was navi- gated by the capiain of a schooner who conveyed in his craft lumber to the bridge- builders. It has been also stated that schooners laden with merchandise sailed up the slough long before the time the railroad contemplated laying a railroad track over thie Suisun marsh, The members of the Cordelia Club con- tend that the Frank Horan slough is not navigable, and doubtless they will fight the matter in the courts. However, pub- lic sentiment is aroused, and the sports- men of this City and State look forward with particular interest to the outcome. The sportsmen who had such a narrow escape last week in Cordelia flough by the blowing up of the gasoline launch Comet engaged the services of the wrecker Whitelaw, and on Saturday last an at- tempt was made to recover the property that was lost. The engine, which was valued at $1200, was recovered, but the the bay by Policeman Green-of Oakland. ‘She had charged the Marquis of Beauharnais with breach of promise of marriage. The estate of Vaturino, the .old histori- cal residence of Muapga, the Hetman of the Ukraine Cossacks, in the Government of Kieff, once famous for its beauty and splendor, has now fallen into ruin and cheer. The third brother took the pariofa decay. clothes and property which went down with the launch could not be found. A diamond ring vatued at $500 and $350 in fold coin, besides watches and shooting- rons, are now lying in the mud at the bottom of the slough. One gun, the bar- 1 rels of which were twisted out of all shape, was found. There was no trouble last Sunday be- tween hunters and gameckeepers on the marshes, The hunters of Suisun raport, however, that they were greatly annoyed by some of the gamekeepers, who sat in their boats, which were anchored in the center of the ponds, and as the birds came over they fired blank cartridges at them. The hunters further state that they will positively injure the sport of the preserve men in the same manner when they visit thosI: ponds during the latter days of the week: Chief Deputy Babcock of the Fish Com- mission swore out warrants in Judge Campbell’s court yesterday for the arrest of A. G. Fodera, a game dealer at 524 Clay street, and 8. J. Gillman, for exposing game for sale out of season. According to the game jaw it will be un- lawful to sell or expose for sale quail or wild duck until a month after the day of AN ELEGANT with each the opening of the shooting season. RABBI LEVY HONORED. Re-elected and His Salary Increased. Reports. The Congregation Beth Israbl held its annual meeting and election of officers in the vestry-rooms of the Geary-street Tem- ple Sunday. The reports of the officers show the congregation to be in a flourish- ing condltion. Its membership has in- creased to 185. The receipts during the past year were $24,075 37; disbursements, $20,335 44; gain in assets since last report, $5478 85, TR Resolutions eulogizing Rubbi Levy were adopted and the rabbi was elected for three years, the longest term allowed by the laws of the congregation, the term to begin at the expiration of his present en- gagement, October 1, 1897, at an increase in his salary of $600 a year. When the rabbi appeared at the meeting he received an ovation. The following trustees were elected: M. H. Wascerwitz, S. Peckerman, J. L. Franklin, P. Fabian, 8. Myrson, M. J. Franklin, 8. Levy, G. Fogel and J, M. Ellis. After the general meeting adjourned the newly elected trustees met and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, S. Peckerman; vice-president, J. L. Franklin; secretary, Marcus Levy. ————— ROAD-RACE DIFFICULTY. The Trouble Over the Recent Ten-Mile Event Happily Adjusted. At a meeting of the officials connected with the recent ten-mile road race of the associated cycling clubs, held last evening at the Olympic Club, it was decided to allow the protests of Ray Hogg and W. Dohrmann of the California Cyeling Club and L. H. Smith of the Olympic Club Wheelmen, and allow them prizes {o the amount they would have received if the score had given them their correct posi- tions. The officials also agreed to fine them- selves sutficient to permit the purchase of a diamond equal to that given for second time prize, and award it to C. J. Birdsall of the California Cycling Club, about whose finishing time there had been some question. The disqualification of B. C, Raynaud, G. Westphal and others for accepting pacing was confirmed. Candidates Indorsed. Some dry-goods men of the City met last evening at K. R. B, Hail, on Mason street, and indorsed P. M. Delaney, candidate for Super- visor of the Third Ward, and Mictael Lyon, candidate for School Director. The organiza- tion is piedged to work in the interests of these men. A committee was selected to ar- range for a mass-meeting at an early date in their interest. Life on the ¥ ones. Custodiau Leverett M.
