The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, November 8, 1896, Page 26

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1896. “All the world’s a stage,”” and last week E the drama was not enacted in the theaters, | but in the polling booths and round the | ballot box. There was an odd contrast, | on election night, between the half-empty | theaters, with the actors reciting their| familiar lines, and the rush and excite- ment in the crowded streets outside. For once, the plays seemed stereotyped, and the actors’ efforts mechanical and unieal. I suppose it could scarcely have been otherwise. Inside the theaters, the play- ers’ paint was laid on with studied art, | their mimic joys and passions were excellently well feigned, but outside the excitement was real; the nation’s pulse | was at fever heat, and, contrasted with the | men and women cheering .the election returns, the actors seemed "merelyi players.” But the fever heat is all over now. The performance advertised by the Advance Agent of Prosperity has come to stay, the audierce has taken its place, the curlain is about to ring up and theatrical man- agers are chortling in their glee, for peo- ple are to have Their pockets full of money And their hearts fall of cheer. (I dare not predict the original, which is: “Their cellars full of beer.’’) Feople are to bave work and money, anyway, and they will then be ina position to patronize the drama right royally. Loie Fuller is going to sail away after her engagement here to dance before the Viceroy and the most exclusive circles in Chinese official life. Over there she will | not appear in theaters open to the vulgar | Chinese herd —on the conirary, she does not expect to dance in anything so com- mon as a theater. La Loie will pass her | time *mid pleasures and palaces” of offi- | cial life in the Flowery Kingdom, and her dances will be executed in marble halls | before select circles of princes and man- | darins. In Paris they idolized Miss Ful ler, though the Parisians drew the line building temples and erecting statues in her honor. At home she has been re- ceived kindly, but the commandment for- | bidding idolatry has never been in the Jeast jeopardized by her presence. La Loie may bave her revenge for this cold- | ness when ste reaches China, for rumor | says the wily Viceroy whispered in her | ear that in all probability she woula dance herself into the ranks of the Celestial im- mortals and get her image into all the | josshouses. If this be true what an alto- | gether novel and fetching advertisement it will make for La Loie’s press agent to write her up as a deified mortal, and tell | how punk is burning in her honor on a thousand alta: id Where is San Francisco? This is not a contndrum. It is a bona fide question, asked in good faith and inspired by con- temporary musical news in Eastern papers. If we accept as gospel what these esteemed contemporaries say, San Fran- cisco must certainly have been blotted out of the map of the United States. Notone shock, but a series of shocks has brought | me to this conviction. What we do is ig- nored, what we don’t do is told in large | type; in fact it is plainly evident that | when M nias and Miss Sapphira are | short of “‘copy” to eke out their musical news, they let themselves loose on this de- | voted City and its musicians, and the re- sult would justify anyone in asking: | Where is San Francisco? I read the other day, with a good deal | of interest, in the New York papers, how Mme, Belinfante, the blind contralto, had just sung *‘for the first time in America” at Chickering Hall. Al! the papers em- phasize¢ *‘for the first time in America.” Is it possible that when she warbled here | six months 2go La Belinfante imagined | herself to be in a detached suburb of | Hongkong or in an outpost of the Mi- | kado’s dominions? Another piece of | news which has deeply interested me is | the high praise which the San Francisco | papers (accordng to their Eastern con- | temporaries) are lavishing upon Mrs. Celia Fisber. It seems that Mre. Fisber has created quite a furor here. Far be it from me to say that she has not done so. I only deplore never having heard of the | lady, and hope for the future (if she is not an invention of the Ananias reporter) that she will .cease hiding her light be- neath a bushel. Good singers are rare, | and when found should be made a noteof. | But the dastardly work of the Ananias reporter was done when he ruthlessly drowned our gifted Mrs. Marguardt. The Musicai Courier gave her a beautiful obituary notice last month, but that was sorry consolation for her death. It seems that John Marquardt was theonly passen- ger saved from the wreck of the Drum- mond Castle off the coast of France last | June, and that Lis wife perished. The | Courier is five months late in get- ting its news, but it compensates for | that by giving hariowing details, The distinguished violinist wason a pro- fessional tour round the world, accon:- panied by his wife, Mme. Alexandrina Breitschuck Marquardt, a harpist of great | eminence. There was a concert on board one night and while the strainsof the music were still resounding the vessel went on the rocks. The shock was a slight one and no one suspzcted that the Dram- mond Castle was in serious danger till she began to sink. As the steamer was going down Herr Marquardt seized hold of a rail ana sat asiride of it all night. At first there were three other persons sitting on tbe rail with bim—the fourth officer ana a maleand a femalie passenger. During the night, however, the others fell off and were drowned, Herr Marquardt being the | sole survivor. He was ultimateiy saved | by a fisherman, having been in the water twelve bours. According to the Musical Courier this | news was not “‘made in America.” It was imported, doubtless at great expense, from Australia. So little does the Musical Courier know about San Fraucisco that it published the tale of woe in bland uncon- sciousness that Mrs. Marquardt has been appearing at largely attended semi-weekly concerts in San Francisco for several months. I hope that the protection Mc- Kinley is soon to bestow upon us will in- clude atariff upon the efflorescences of the Ananias reporter’s brain. Greenroom Gossip. Francis Wilson, when he enters on the stage of the Knickerbocker Theater in the first act of “Half a King,” calls 1o the donkey that draws his cart, “Whoa, Bryan!” A day or two previous to the election, just before his entrance, he was | Arab chiet, Ben Gand, who was in the gay | that | Mile. i contemplating matrimony. discussing politics with a friend in his dressing-room and McKinley’s name was mentioned frequently. on went Wilson in his cart. To the sur- prise of every one on the stage he called out to the gquadruped actor, *“Whoa, Mc- Kinley!” Itwas a lapse of speech, and | the comedian was nonplused for a mo ment. the beast and added, ‘“I've been calling you Bryan for a month, and yet you wouldn’t mind. Now T given youn a better name, perhaps you'll behave your- self and try to deserve it.”” The audience greeted this impromptu speech with great favor. “But,” said Wilson afterward, “i was a close call, and in this honest-money city a hiss woald not have surprised me.’s | Then he looked reproachfully at | ask if Miss Sapphira has ferreted out anything more about Frau Klaisky’s suicide. N. E—Well, that would be expensive, and Sapphira never will condense her news. Be- siues, Klafsky's friends might bring a libel It wouid be cheaper and justas inter- esting to ‘)uhlhh some Sau Francisco news. D. E.—That's so, and we couid get the copy outright away,without'waiting to wire. Is Mr. Avanias in the Jocal-room? - N. E—Yes.

Before returning to Beskra, Ben Gand wished to venture behind the scenes of the Grand Opera-house while the ballet was in progress, as he thought it would be asort of dress rehearsal of the Paradise of Mahomet. Ben Gand, on foot as on horseback, is a fine figure of a man, and | the dancers were not slow to let him see | they thought so. The beautiful Sandrini, surprised at his black ¥ black hairand black beard, asked: ‘“Are they all as dark as that in Africa?” And Ben Gand, with an air of perfect modesty, replied, **Oh. much darker than that, mademoiselle. Over there they call | me an albino.” Loie Fuller is going to carry 12 elec- tricians to China with her, to manipulate | the lights used in her dances. She will | also carry away masses of voluminous | draperies, and an.ong them a pansy gown, | which Jike all others, is from her own de- sign. In an Eastern theater not long ago she spread the pansy gown over two- thirds of her dressing-room and explained its intricacies to nalf a dozen women, who ressed forward in admiring chorus. “You are a genius, an artist,” volun- teered an enthusiast. “Not an artist,” corrected Miss Fuller. *T paid §300 for the pansies in that gown, and my sister, who first did the dance with me, painted her own.” In his recently published *Musical Reminiscences” Arditi tells a number of good stories of musical celebrities, some of them old, some published for the first time. Of Christine Nilsson, he says that when she was studying with him she was so nervous that she frequently tore the lace on her dress. Arditi knew many fa- mous composers, among them Rossini, who when Mme. Arditi was introduced to him exclaimed galiantly: “Now I know why Arditi composed ‘The Kiss.”*’ Once when Arditr conducted Her Majesty's Opera in St. Louis a man walked twenty miles “‘to hear Queen Victoria sing in Her Majesty’s troupe. "’ The St. Louis papers are circulating the statement that Lillian Russell is again | Miss Russell denes the statement, and declares that she is firmly wedded to her art. 1t seems that Miss Russell remamed in | St. Louis to take a much-needed rest, and | there she happened 1o meet Waiter Jones | of the “Gay New York Company,” who is her declared admirer. The two were seen a good deal together, and the report went forth that they were engaged, but the par- ties most interested strenuously deny the soft impeachment. Miss Selma Herman, the clever young ! ectress who plays the character of fida, the daughter of an exile, in “Darkest Russia,’”” had a thrilling experience with a trolley-car while in Denver last week. As she was crossing Sixteenth streer, on Ler way to the theater, she became confused by the bustle and clanging of gongs around her and was struck by a car. The prompt action of the motorman saved her. Atthe risk of his life he leaned over the dash- board and caught her as she fell and pulled her from under the wheels. The roung woman luckily escaped with only a torn and soiled gown. 3liss Herman showed her gratitude by a liberal purse and later presented the hero with a diamond scarfpin.

Marie EVELYN, Baldwin Theater. To-morrow evening Dalla Fox and her comic opera organization will begin an | engagement of two weeks, during which they will present “The Littl: Trooper” and “Fleur de Lis.” The former has been selected as the vehicle of Miss Fox to be introduced to us as a star, and it will hold the boards for the entire week. “The Little Trooper” is from the French, though it has been considerably changed by tie translator and adaptor, Clay M. Greene. The music is by William Furst and Victor Roger. The opera is said to be bright and tunefui and to allow Miss Fox and her company plenty of occasions tor the aisplay of their abilities. Brilliant scenery and gorgeous costumes are prom- | ised. “Fleur de Lis” will be given during the second week of the engagement. Nat C, Goodwin comes next to the Baldwin. Galifornia Theater. The California Theater opens to-morrow evening with “In Darkest Russia,” a piay which bas met with considerable success during the last four seasons. The main features of H. Grattan Don- nelly’s plot revolve round the political system of the Russian empire, and show the laws under which the peopie are bur- dened, and the power vested in the offi- cials. The opening act shows the throne- room of the Czar's palace at St. Peters- burg, and emphasizes the wealth and splendor of the aristocracy, while the sec- ond and third acts deat with the Ninilists and the police system. The last act takes place in Siberia. The characters are said to be strongly drawn, and Beptimus Cobb, the American colonel from Kentucky, and the German Baroness are the funmakers who prevent the drama from becoming too lugubrious. Picturesque niounting is promised. Golumbia Theater. To-morrow evening Corinne will appear D. E.—We might cablegraph to Hamburg_to lnnder new management in the new “Hen- drick Hudson Jr..” supported by acom- vany which is said to be entirely new. Prominent among the performe-s are: Joe Cawthorn, Jate principal comedian with Patti Rosa; John Page, late principal comedian with Eugene Tompkins’ *Black Crook” Company; John Park, an eminent voung barytone; Octavic Baroe, who won | fame as the prima donna in Hoyt’s “A Trip to Chinatown”; Nellie Strickland and Annie Hutchinson, two women of the Cnarles Frohman companies, and Helen Holden Welch. 1t is said that this will be the last op- portunity of seeing Corinne in a mixture of mirth and nonsense, as her managers have decided to entrust her with more serious roles next season. 5 Grand Opera-House. Another of James A. Herne's plays, “The Minute Men,” will be staged at the Grand Opera-house to-morrow night. It | deais with Revolutionary times, and is | said to tell an interesting love 2story, as | well as give a faithful picture of the period. i “Ine Minute Men” has never yet heen | played in San Francisco, and arrange- | ments have been made to give it an elabo- i rate production. Victory Bateman is to have the romantic role of Dorothy, the fair young patriot, ana Howsrd Kyle will play the Indian chief, who wins her Jove by his nobility and daring. Leslie Mo- r(;;_cn returns 1o the boards as a British officer, and Mortimer Snow is to play the role of an heroic American. Miss Anna Daly, a clever young San Francisco act- ress, has been especially engaged for the production. At the Tivoli. In order to avoid conflicting with the other theatrical openings to-morrow. the Tivoli Opera-house will present this even- ing, for the first time in several years, Johanu Strauss’ romantic comic opera, “The Gypsy Baron.” This work, which contains the beautiiul Magyar strains of the Hungarians, is one of Strauss’ most brilliant compositions. The cast includes Rhys Thomas as San- dor Barinkay, an exile, the Gypsy Baron; Ferris Hartman as Kalman Zsupan, a pig- dealer; W. H. West, as Coynt Bamaro, a royal commissioner of morals; Maurice Darcy, as_Ottocar, hisson; John J. Raf- fael, as Count Homonay; W. H.

At the Baldwin Theater to-night the Hinrichs-Beel popular operatic and or- | cbestral concert will take place.
