N ] 7 | NAT C GOODWIN [INAN AMERIAN CITIZEN AT THE BALDWIN. One of the smartest dramatic critics in | London has been declaring that the decline of serious drama 1s due to the spread of | temperance. The palmy days of the | legitimate drama, he says, were the days | in which people went drunk to the play— | the days of port and foaming tankards of | stout and gin and water and Mr. Pick- | wick’s milk punch. “There were infinite | poten ies of tragic emotion in those beverages. Now we drink thin claret.” And then he cries in rhapsody for some one to restore the vine leaves to our hair, 80 that the serious drama may once more flourish. Well, this is certainly a new way of looking at it. If strong drink and the | serious drama go hand in band San Fran- cisco might have been written down a lemperance town—not of the Hoyt va- riety—last week. Serious drama indeed! | You paid your money and vou took your choice between operetta and melodrama, If your fancy did not incline eitber way the only alternative was to eschew the drama entirely and wait for better times, A cold perspiration bespangles my brow when I recall the acts of fiendish cruelty and devilish cunning, the shoot- ing, stabbing, butchering, dueling, bomb- exploding deeds which were committed at the Columbia, the Grand, the California and the Alcazar last week. To see one melodrama a week is pleasant enough diversion, two of them make a pretty severe strain on the imagination; three melodramas in the span of seven days are more than any one with a due regard for keeping sane should undergo, and, as for four, “that way doth madness lie.” “Hurmanity” at the Columbia is a strong play of its kind—if the kind were only good—its agony is intense, but it is piled on in deeds rather than words, which is always to be desired in melodrama. The villain—and a very well acted villain, too —is described as a war correspondent, He belongs to that fearful and wonderful class of newspaper men that have their existence only in the diseased imagina- tions of dramatists. The last thing this fool correspondent thinks of is getting the news. He carries a large notebook, which no self-respecting reporter would be guilty of owning, and he jots down the location of the mines at Fort Dunbar and the amount of water in the wells, not for publication, oh, dear, no, but for the treacherous enlightenment of the enemy. Meanwhile his newspaper must be get- ting ignominiously *scooped” on all the war news. Little wrecks the correspond- ent; he is one of the idiotic news- gutherers seen only on the stage and does not know news when he sees it, and if it were introduced to him he would not want it. 1 wish some enterprising drama- tist would give us a play with a real news- paper man, just for 2 change. Variety is always charming. Wilton Lackaye is coming in a few weeks to show us his new creation, Dr. Belgraff, 2 man who wreaks a just venge- ance on villainy through the medium of hypnotic power. Lackaye blandly an- nounces that his make-up is an exact imi- tation of Professor Roentgen of X ray fame. I wonder why he submits the famous discoverer to this 1ndignity? Roentgen is not a hypnotist, and any one who has seen his X ray discovery in work- ing action knows that he is not a man to be treated with levity. It certainly is true that professing hyp- notists are just about as unlike the stage article as the stage reporter is unlike a real newspaper man. Your professor of hyp- notism is generally a sleek, well fed look- ing personage, with all the outward and visible signs of partaking of and enjoying three square meals a day. He does not glide about mysteriously nor glare fiend- ishly. 1n fact, if asked to guess his call- ing you would in nine cases out of ten set him down as a well-to-do storekeeper or a prosperouns pork butcher. I asked Professor Kennedy the otner day what he thought of Svengali, from a hypnotic standpoint, and he scornfuily said the character did not deserve the serious considération of any self-respect- ing professor of hypnotism. *Svengali is not any more like a real hypnotist than the stage reporter is like a live newspaper man,” remarked the professor, and his allusion touched a tender spot, for oh! that war correspondent in **Humanity”’— but that’s another story. Anyway, the professor remarked that Lackaye’s passes were all wrong; that the makeup was a libel on bypnotists. As for the basic idea of 2 hypnotist giving out some subtle power which drained his own strength, it was AT THE CHUTES | b VJ BURT SHEPARD AT THE ORPHEUM absurd. “A man can hypnotize himself just as well as any one can hypnotize him if he once knows the way, so that shows that the hypnotist gives out ro subtle power,” he added, conclusively. It is saa but true that many people go tosee a much beparagraphed star as they would go to gaze on a two-headed baboon or a pink-eyed lady, regarding the whole thing as a show. The press agent thor- oughly understands this weakness and his object in life is to make money out of it. Of course the star understands it too, and very ofcen is quite willing to play into the hands of his advertising agent by being freakish and meekly letting his character be assailed. ‘“‘Better be reviled and calumniated than not be discussed at all,” is a theory which has money in it. I am curious to see whether the free advertising bestowed upon Nat Goodwin during the last few months wili have exalted him to the solid financial basis of being regarded as a side-show. The last time he was here Goodwin confided to a matinee audience that the Baldwin wasalways so empty he could not persuade the company they were not giving a series of dress rehearsals. Since then, -however, he has achieved columns of free advert ing—the divorce court has claimed him for its own, beautiful young actresses have come from Auastralia saying he was no gentleman and that he was, moreover, madly infatuated with another beautiful young actress who was the wife of another man, and so on, ad nauseum. Altogether Mr. Goodwin’s affairs have reached that stage of publicity which should justly entitle him to the consideration of people ‘who like a side-show for their money. If you are inclined to doubt the value of freak paragraphing just recall the case of Mme. Fannie Bloomfeld-Zeisler. A great artist comes into our midst quietly and unostentatiously. Sne is not steeped in crime; no one pretends that she is on the verge of insanity; she does not even adopt a mad extravagant coifture, nor indulge in weird eccentricities. Mme. Zeisler is so sane that she travels without a keeper, and any one who wants -to learn her history can find out that she 1s happily married and that her life has been ‘‘free from the breath of slander.”” Her whole armory for capturing the public lies in genuine genius for pianoforte playmg and bard work. She opened here with scarcely any preliminary puffing and made rusic that showed ber to be only a little lower than the angels. Her reward will probaoly be in heaven, for it consisted largely of empry benches here below. If Mme, Zeisler had wanted to reap dol- THE SA Ihn she might at least have brought a couple of tame lions along, have played with a cobra twisted around her neck, or have advertised the fact that her bair- dresser, procured at great danger and ex- pense, was, an Apache brave or a Zulu chief. But she has not even broken off a contract with the Emperor of China, nor had a row with Oscar Hammerstein. The idea of an artist relying solely on her art for fame! Mme, Zeisler has been pun- ished for defying all fin de siecle prece- dent. Marie EVELYN. Greenroom Gossip. Loie Fuller was going West on the Grand Central recently, when at the New INTRODUCTION OF THE BARON ACT 1- INHUMANITY aT THE COLUMBIA Fork station she ran up against a rute which forbids the carrying of any cumber- some baggage in the Wagner sleeping- cars. Objection was made to a bandbox. Loie pleaded, but the conductor was firm. Then Loie had an idea. She rushed across to the offices of the New York Central Railroad and mounted the stairs at a jump. Mr. Depew wasin. She told the vresident of the road her tale. She ex- plained to him how necessary the box was to her comfort. She may have told bim what it contained. Mr. Depew thrummed the desk with his fingers while the tale was bein¢ told. He thougnt of his opera-house in Peekskill and his am- bition 1n a dramatic way. He thought of his duty as a railway president, and the fact that the New "York Central had adopted asomewhatsimilar rule which had never been enforced, came into his mind. “As a member of my own profession I appeal to—"" begau the dancer. That set- tled it. Mr. Depew gallantly escorted Miss Fuller downstairs. He held a short conference with the officers of the Wagner company, and as a result Miss Fuller de- parted in the Wagner car with her box on one of the seats. Loie waved adieu to the railroad president, and said that Mr, Depew s Peekskill opera-house was the best place out of New York to dance in, Baldwin Theater. To-morrow evening N. C. Goodwin and his comedy company headed by Maxine Elliott will begin an enzagement limited to one week. At every performance, with the exception of Saturday night, the comedian will present his new comedy, “An American Citizen.”” The play is in four acts and is the work of Madeline Lucette Ryley. who is remembered as the authoress of ‘‘Christopher Jr.,” which John Drew brought out. The new comedy deals with the hatred for Americans of an Englishman whose sister had run away nndg married an American against the brother’s will, and who disinherits his daughter because she refuses to reject the attentions of an American admirer. 'On Saturday Goodwin will give his first impersonation in America of Bob Acres in ““The Rivals.” California Theater. Loie Fauller, the originator of all the dances which consist of throwing about draperies with electrical effects, will ap- pear at the California to-morrow in the first of a series of four performances. At each of her appearances she will pre- sent the following dances: Night, the White Dance, the Firmament, Fire, and the Lily of the Nile. The effects in these dances are toa great extent the same as thosa achieved by Loie ruller’s imitator, Papinta, but La Loie is said to be far abead of any of those who ecé)y her.

Herne, the anthor-actor, his first suc- cess, is to be produced at Morosco’s to- morrow. Like “Drifting Apart,” this play bas no villain. The incidents occur in a New England village. Victory Bateman is to be Crystal, the girl who loves Ned Fairweather, yet, with her lover’s consent, unselfishly marries Terry Dennison, a sailor miller, who has befriended them both. At last Terry learns of their sacrifice and goes away, making the lovers promise to marry if he should not return in five years. He ig wrecked and does not get back till the day they are married. Tuen, realizing what 80rrow his home-coming would bring, he does not reveal his identity, though his own little girl is prattling at his knee, Blcazar Theater. “The End of the Century” is the play to be presented for the first time in San Francisco at the Alcazar to-morrow even- ing. It is used by permission of Nelson Wheatcroft and is strictly fin de siecle. The siory turns on the desire of a sua- denly rich mining speculator to attain & social position by forcing his daughter to marry a title and the impecunious Prince ostoi, Russian secret service, is the man chosen to elevate the famiiy. Barbara, the daughter, detests him, but marries to oblige her parents and numerous compli- Emgnmme will 2iso include Charles Grae- er’s banjo, mandolin and guitar ciubs, the Treble Clef Quartet, a violin soio by l beyond the cations ensue.

An excellent performance of Von Suppe’s bright, tuneful opera, ‘Donna Juanita,” is being given by the capable company at the Tivoli. The work is draw- ing so well that it has been declded to con- tinue it for another week. f The next production will be “The Little Duke.” Great preparations are oing on for the Christmas fantasie, which is an- nounced ay the finest spectacle ever pre- sented at the Tivoli.

They had been brou%ht up on a farm, knew nothing of the world, and had not even had a common school education when they resolved to go on the e hey originated a programme which in fome respects resembled a second rate vaudeville show, and in performing it the Cherries have often been the recipients of quantities of eggs, vegetables, fruit, etc., 8o much so that at times they have played behind a wire screen. Still, the sisters have made money out of their venture, 1aud have preserved their reputations spot- ess. They are seemingly never offended at what is said by the press or people con- cerning their show, a sample of the mens tion e1ven them being as follows: “‘Effie Cherry is a hand-painted darling. She 1s a gamesome, gladsome, voluptuous pet, with a wealth of feet. She was to have appeared as the Goddess of Liberty in the closing tableau last night, out the step- ladder broke and this magnificent specta- cle was abandoned. There is only one girl in the world like Effie Cherry—and that is Lizzie Cherry. **Lizzie is a whole bunch. “She has the gvratorical abandon of s yearling heifer and the liquid depths of ber eyes would drown any man not over seven feet high. “When the Cherry sisters hold a reunion on the stage, the world seems brighter, better, sunnier, and Elsyium notso far away. “‘The sisters canceled all their Western engagements last week and returned to the farm. To-day they brought to market in this city four fat, young calves, which they sold, and with the proceeds they pur- chased transporiation to New York.” Rivals in the Drama. After meeting one another on the foot- ball field on Thanksgiving afternoon, the universities of Stanford and California will offer rival dramatic attractions in the evening, and the friends of each are just as sure that their favorite alma mater will carry away the palm for histrionic art as they are certain that she will win in the football game. At the California Theater Stanford will hold the fort with a burlesque which is expected to create a sensation. The piece de resistance of the bill is an original skit on ‘“‘Macbeth,” entitled ‘“The Macbeths of Berkeley; or After the Ball.’” The Thane of Glamis is represented as captain of the Berkeley forces, while the more virtuous Duncan commands the Stanford troops. ‘‘After the Ball” is over, there will be a farce, serpentine and clog dances |.and a variety of other attractions, includ- ing music by the justly famed glee and mandolin clubs. Extended notice has already been given in THE CALL of “In Kokopo,” the extrava- ganza which the students of the Univer- sity of California will present at the Aud- itorium on Thanksgiving nicht. All sorts of attractions are billed to appear, includ- ing a chorus of suffragists, boarding- school girls, football men, troubadours and other attractive characters. Patriotic Opera. One evening performance and a matinee will be given on December 4 and 5 at the California Theater of the patriotic and military opera **Heroes of '76."” The work is by J.

Mrs. Strelftz Davis, who has lately returned from the Berlin Conservatory, will be the pianoforte soloist at the Deutscher Verein concert in Beethoven Hall this afternoon. J. E. Dodson is rabid on the subject of golf. Somebody asked Charles Frohman whether the comedian playved a good game. “ Well, not exactly,” judiciaily replied the great manager; then, hesitatingly, he added, with a smile: “ But his stockings are dreams.” Mrs. Kendal says she often sheds tears when she goes homeand thinks about her brother, Tom Robertson, whose play, ‘‘Caste,” has just been reyived in London, with John Hare in the role of Eccles.
