The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, January 3, 1897, Page 26

26 R THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JANUARY 3, 1897, AT THE “La Loic" Fuller's pantomime, “A Pa- risian Tragedy,”’ might just as well have been called ““A San Francisco Tragedy,” except that in this part of the world when gentlemen tire of their wives they are not in the habit of signalizing the fact by be- stowing upon them diamonds and boxes of gorgeous apparel, each box accompa- nied by a photograph of the erring hus- band. In San Francisco when love flies out of the window diamonds and impqrted gowns do mnot come in at the door. A Californian who takes to going home with packages of compromising letters project- ing palpably from his bpocket nothing for his wife to hope for, except alimony. the French” inserted in big Jetterson the programme because she wanted the public to understand it is in La Ville Lumiere that compensations are provided for broken hearts in the shape of diamonds and fine raiment. The first part of tie pantomime, in the slanguage” of the day, “‘made me tired.” ‘Who wants to dress with more than ordi- nary care, go forth on a damp and chilly night and pay money at the box-office to see a maid puiting chryszpthemums in < skirt and neat, well-fittin - gaiters? we always have some curiosity; not so much as the press agents suppose, but a certain languid interest in knowing whetber favorite aciresses wear corsets or rational waists, whelher (hey eat candy or cbew gum, and whether they like beefsteak with or without onio The first part of *A.Parisian Traged gave us a picture of ) Fuller in the intimacy of the home circle. We saw how she Joafs round in a wrapper and sleeps on her lounge, we saw how she cats candy— perhaps she Las lived in Paris too long to chow gum—and she showed us the charm- ing way in which she whistles to ber canary and whiles away her time with artless little dances, and she confided to us (by ocular demonstration) tbat she does not wear either corsets or rational waists, 1f welearned nothingelse from *‘A Parisian Tragedy” we know henceforth that, who- ever else is imprisoned in whalebone and buckram, La Loie’s contour is entirely au naturel. Somehow, in spite of these confidences, the early part of the Fuller pantomime engendered a tired fezling all over the house. This ought to be a warning to the paragrapher that the public is not so much interested in the intimate details of an actress’ existence as people are some- times beguiled into believing. I do not mean to imply that Miss Faller and the giri who p'ayed her muid did notact well; on the contrary, JOSERH AURPHY leaves | Loie Fuller no doubt had “from | ses, even il she does wear a rational | True, | DAY 2058 COLUMBIA ! that peovle began to fidget in their seats and think, “I can see a maid at work and | & zirl eat candy any day at home.” - The | interest of the pantomime began when | monsieur entered with his diamonds aud | his letters, The action at once stepped out of the commonnvlace of everyday life | then, ana from that point until the fall of the curtain Howard Kyle and Miss Fuller | owned the audience. | In hiseveryday speaking parts How- | ard Kyle would be a much better actor if | he could be more honeved in his ways. | He always gives me the impression of being angry and fierce. When his lips say to the woman, ‘“D:arest, I adore thee,” his mauner cries out, “Ah! if I had a club 1 wouldn’tdo a thing to you!’ As for | his bearing toward villains and szbordi- | nate characters, it is simply appallinz in | 1ts sternness. In the *‘Police Patrol,” for instance, Kyle was a sort of guardian of the law who would strike terror into the | souls of hardened criminals. Policemen | are not generaliy the bogey men that o5 portray them to their charges as | but Kyle’s policeman was o ter- | rible in its awful severity that it would have made the worst boy on earth quail. | | It must hive been on the principle of A rose by any other name would smell as | sweat” that Tod Lonergan masqueraded on the programmes of the Grand all last week as Howard Kyle. Even the best informed employes of the house did not seem to know that his go.ifather and god- mother had inflicted upon him the name of Tod—such an unromantic appellation for a leading man. No wonder he was glad to change his name with Howard Kyle last week. Lonergan can act excep- tionally well, whether he calls himself Lonergan or Kyle. He will probably be heard from before long. . 1 sometimes wonder in what frame of mind a playwright sits down to pen a lugubrious melodrama. Does he write his most harrowing scenes in the delusive hope that they will extract what Amelia calls “the pearly fugitives’ or does he pile on the agony thickest when he wants to raise a hearty laugh? Whatever the playwright's intentions may be the audience persists in laughing where it should weep, und if it has tearsit never prepares to shed them. Just about the time that the hero of melodrama is being led forth to die and the sweet. unsophis. ticated heroine is on the rarffpage from | agony aud despair the audience is be- ginning to settle down to the good, solid enjoyment of mirth and laughter. ‘“‘Across the Potomac” literally reeks with war and gore, but the large audi- they acted so natu!allylences at the Grand last week persisted in | tempted to steal away from Miss Beatrice { expecied light in * laughing at the wrong place. The house was in roars of laughter when the pale and emaciated soldiers, swathed in blood- stained bandages, were being ‘carried across the stage on stretchers, and when the unfortunate Northern prisoner expired in prison, after paroxysms of semorse and physical agony, bis last faint words could scarcely be heard for sounds of amuse- ment from all parts of the house. It was ever thus in melodrama. I think that the man who wrote *“There is but a step from the snblime to the ridiculous’’ must just have come home from seeing a melo- drama. Two medical stuaents were sitting be- hind me at *‘Across the Potomac.” They proclaimed the fact before the curtain went up by discussing a virulent case of smallpox and the bacteria which had en- gendered it. No one but a young ‘'saw- bones,” as Sam Weller so picturesquely describes doctors in herbe, would enliven a theater with bacteria, and the students’ comments on the way the wounded suf- fered and died were audible and interest- ing. *He's a mummy,” observed one youth, as the Northern prisoner was lifted on to the stretcher, rigid asa poker and immobile as a marble statue. *Ain’t been dead four minutes,” replied the other, and then they chuckled with fiendish glee at the glacial condition of the newly made corpse. They had been previously interested in the vrisoner’s desire to make a confession, the said confession, as usual in melodrama, being an 1nfallible symp- tom of approaching death. When Cap- tain Walker was brought on to die, dab- bled in something that might have been raspberry jam and might have been hu- man gore, the students diagnosed his case carefully—declared, from his speech and gesture, that he was sound of wind and limb, and there was no just cause or im- pediment why he should not live to a ripe old age. That is the disadvantage of be- ing within earshot of people who know too much—they take the gilt off the gingei- bread. An actress who elocutes has more fer- rors for me than the comic policeman of the melodrama, and when he appears I fold my tent, like the Arabs, and as si- lently steal away. Sometimes I have been Lieb's declamatory performances, but she appeared in such an entirely new and un- obe’” that I stayed in amazement and admiration till the cupids, who are chronically trying to hang ihemselves with garlands of flowers on the Alcazar drop curtain, descended to rise no more that night. Miss Leb’s Ni- obe was altogether an ideal interpretation, Like Resalind, she is ‘‘more than com- mon tall” and more than common good- looking into the bargamn. As the ani- mated statue she looked so beautiful tnat one could not help admiring the taste of the connoisseur who gave thousands of dollars for her in the marble and fell in love with her when he beheld her in the fl:sh. A commonplace, end-of-the-cen- tury Niobe would have spoiled the play, but Miss Lieb was classic in, her dignity and grace. A few more hits like this and she will make a name for herself. MariE EVELYN. Baldwin Theater. Denman Thompson’s perennial story, ““The Old Homestead,” will commence a two weeks’ engagement at the Baldwin Theater to-morrow evening. The plot, which is already too well known to need repetition, presents the picture of a sorrow- stricken old man who dreams of his wan- boys, who for nigh onto thirty y=ars” have been rivals in love, and who through the instrumcntality of Uncle Josh stop knocking chips off one another'sshoulders and tecome firm iriends; of a boy who, baving failed to find that contentment wnich he sought for in the great ciw, returns ke the prodigal of oid and_takes the farm on *the coming New Year's day,” finding {here that jeace and happi- ness which were not vouchsafed him in the metropolis; of a reformed tramp. Following the “Old Homestead” at the Baidwin Theater comes the much-looked- for concerts by Lillian Nordica, assisted by Scalcbi, Berthald and Dem psey. Golumbia Theater. Joseph Murphy will commence a fort- night's engagement at the Columbia Theater to-morrow evening, presenting for the first week ‘“Shaun Rhue,” The regular pooular prices of the Columbia will prevail. 2 At the Alcazar. “Niobe" could easily have run another week, but the Alcazar management bas resolved to furnish something new in the comedy line every Monday, so to-morrow evening, “‘A Serious Tangie,” described as 1« FlYING BALI,_E‘ AT THE - ORPHEUA a “Whirlwind of Laughter,” in three acts, will be given, It is by Sidney Grundy, and is said to be one of the most amusing things that be has written, Kverybody in a highly respectable family goes to see a perform- ance of “Pink Dominoes,” each without the knowledge of the otber. Whimsical complications ensue. The cast will in- clnde George Osbourne, Gordon Foster, Charles Bryant, Beatrice Lieb, Maud Hine and May Backley. “Dream Faces,” a curtain-raiser, will be played by May Buckley, Mrs. T. M. Bates, Francis Powers and Frank Clayton. It will be its first presentation in fan Francisco. Grand Opera-House. “In the Name of the Czar” will be pro- duced to-morrow. It isa Russian play, with nihilists to make trouble and a noble young American to straigiiten things out. Victory Bateman will appear as a Russian girl and Mortimer Snow will play the noble young Russian who 1s being made the victim of plots, from which he is saved by an American, a part that has been assigned to Leslie Morosco. Tivoli Opera-House. “Jack and the Beanstalk’ has proved to be one of the most successful spectacles ever offered to the patrons of the Tivoli Opera-house and it will be continued until further notice. The cast remains un- changed. A novel second edition isin course of preparation and will be presented for the first time on Monday evening, January 11. ‘This will include new son-s, dances, bal- lets and other entertaining and up-to-daie material. At the Orpheum. The aerial and Kiralfy’s ballet are still featares at the Orpheunm, and with four new vaudeville turns this week's bill ought to be even stronger than the Christ- mas programme. The new acts are all said to be quite up to the standard that Gustas Walter seems to have established in his Orpheum. Hallen, who once won popularity as a partner in the team of Hallen and Hart, will appear with Fuller in a comedy sketch. Charies Wayne, who won renown as co- median with Lillian Russell, will give one of his humorous monologue turns. He styles himsel! America’s premiere eccen- trique. The Two Bostons will take the place on the -bill made vacant by Cler- mont’s trained animafs. They will' bring with them a number of trained dogs. Miss Annie Caldwell will sing some of the lates: songs. A feature of the ballet will be a sleigh-bell solo, and a Spanish dance by a dozen or more of Kiralfy' 0st apt pupils. At the Ghutes. If it does not rain this evening C. M. Vosmer will make a balloon ascension and parachute drop from 'the chutes, followed by the monster searchhight.

W. Brown, the one-lerzed cyclist, will coast down the chutes, Korto will walk down the chutes on a globe and there will be a potato race and a five-mile bicycle con- test. The animatoscope is on exhibition every evening. Gircus Royal. Oscar R. Gleason, the borse-tamer, is at- tracting large audiences every evening to his exhibition at the Circus Royal o1 Eddy street. The control that Gleason manifests over seemingly wild and intractable animalsis remarkable. It is asserted thai there is nothing crael in any of his methods and owners of well-blooded but unruly horses are bringing them in daily from all parts of the State to be broken. Boycott on Foreigners. In a letter recently contributed to the London Referee, Henry J. Leslie points out that henceforth English companies will not be able to tour in America with any profit or satisfaction to themselves. He says: **A certain society, called ‘The National Alliance Stage Employes of America,’ bad a convention some time since, and passed the following resolution: ‘That on and after January 1, 1897, only scenery painted by members of the Protective Aliiance of Scenic-painters of America will be handled by members of the alliance.’ Thisisa practical boycott of all scenery ynln‘led outside the United States.” Leslie points out that the contract labor laws prohibit the bringing over of a stage- carpenter or property-man unless be can be shown to be an artist—a rather difficult task—and he adds: i *“Unless some working arrangement is come to between the two countries it will ve impossible for English managers to send out companies to the States equipped with scenery and costumes from this ~1de, and it will never be worth their while to have English productions prepared in the States, as the cost thereof in most in- stances wonld be simply prohibitive.” In San Francisco this state of things will wuot affect the theater-zoer to any great extent, but in the East it will make 2 great difference in matters theatri- cal. Not only English, but French, Ger- man and Italian corzpanies that carry their own scenery will practically be ex- cluded from the country. There has long been an agitation in favor of protection for the. American actor, but no one guessed that the humble scene-shifter would step to_the front and cut the Gor- dian knot. The costumers now want to take a band in the business. too, and are agitating for similar protection. As for the managers, they are anything but overwhelmed with joy at tue scene- shifters’ action, as they will henceforth be shorn of some of their biggest attractions —Henry Irving, for instance. Miss Wilcox's Farewell. A testimonial concert will be tendered to Miss Jeannette Wilcox prior to her de- parture for Europe by the Treble Clef Quartet, of which she is first contralto, on Thursdsy evening at Golden Gate Hall. Miss Wilc x is a well-known singer in this City. She has been for a long time solo contralto of Caivary Presby- terian Church and the Temple Emanu-£i. Sbe will be assisted by Mrs. Beatrice Priest Fine, Mrs. A. A. Dewing, Mrs. Sedgley Reynolds, Mrs. W. J. Batchelder, Walter C. Campbell, Sig. A, Abramoif and Bernhard Mollenbauer. Haworth's Earnings. Itis stated on most reliable authority that Josepn Haworth, who nas left the cast of ““Sue” to appear wi'h Modjeska at the Baldwin this month, is to receive $300 per week—exactly the salary lavished by Oscar Hammerstein on the Cherry sis- ters. The Cherrys, however, are freaks, and as such are able to command fancy prices, but $500 per week is a big salary to bestow upon a legitimate leading man. If Haworth can demand and receive grand opera prices, he would do well to think again before going on a starring tour. It is a fad, however, to star, and next season Haworth is going the way of all leading men, which in these days means Le is to star. Haworth is Mme. Moajeska's favorite Macbeth. She says <he likes him better than any Thane of Glamis she has ever plaved with. He has also portrayed with success such a wide range of parts as Richard 111, Rinaldo, Richelieu, Orlando, Matthias, Malvoiio, Romeo, Iago, Oassius, Icilius and Claud Melnotte. ITistirst work at the Bajdwin this season will be as the Major in “Magda.” Dramatic Brevities. 8ol Solomon of the Brownies has written Ferris Hartman a topical song, entitled *<Only Once.” Otis Skinner will have three new’ plays to produce during his coming engagement st the Baldwin. “Aleddin, or the Wonderful Lamy,” wiil fol- low “Maritana,” which will succeed “Jack,"” at the Tivoil. A Western Kansas paper in dealing with the local theatrical situation laments that stage iright is never fatal. The Lyceum Theater Company of New York bas produced with success a onme-act play, “The Wife of Willoughby.” It is the work of Theodore B. Sayre, 8 young New York jour- nalist. Mrs. Humphry Ward, author of “Marcella” and other noted books, is writing a play. One of her novels, “Miss Bretherton,” is supposed 10 have Mary Anderson as the model of ite heroine. A Stranger in New York’ is the title of Charles H. Hoyt's new comedy, in which Henry Conor will bestarred. It will have its first production in Buffalo, February 15, Mr. Conor is now en route from Australis. In ‘A Serious Tangle,” which will be pro- duced to-morrow at the Alcazar. things o so fast toward the end of the second act that Hugo Toland says that he will accomplish fousteen entrances and exits in exactly one minute. S H One of these days the public may see Judith | cutting off Holofernes’ head upon the stage— thatis, if Miss Oiga Nethersole holds to her present inteniian, which is to take a London theater next year and to produce thereat a poetic playiet written around this subject by the American bard and novelist, Thomas Bailey Aldrich, the author of *Margery Daw.” E. H. Sothern says: “I think 1f all actors could study to make up as & lightning sketch artist reels off his exact charcoal likenesses there would be a systematic saving of vital force and nerve power. 1 am not very strong. 80d by the (ime I am drrssed I am_exhausted, and it is only the elation of enthusiasm in ives me the strength (o play can, at least.” my work which well—as well s New York papers announce with great en- thusiasm that Exmes ana Calve have at last cousented to sing together in the same opera, and Melba and Calve on the same night. In the midst of such thrilling lyrie triumphs the manager oficn has to bOrrow money to pay his laundry bill.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. In a letter to the Washington Post Richard Mansfield, while discussing & recent lawsuit, says: “In the twenty 0dd years that I have ‘been upon the stage 1 have never seen an actor or an actress, ignorant as they might be, who did not know that the table and chair Rl.eed down the center of the stage are absolutely sacred to the management. When I was earn- ing my living in a suborainate capacity I should as soon have thought of sitting in that Ehair as 1 should have been guilty of keeping my hat upon my head in church.” Ever since the death of Professor Herrmann, the magician, persons in and, out of the theatrical profession have been speculating as to the amount of the fortune he left to his widow, Mme, Adelaide Herrmann. It was known that the receipts of his tours for several years haa been enormous, reaching in some nstances as high as $80, in & single season. This fact led many to believe that, despite his extravagant way of living, he must have accumulated at least a quarter of a million dollars. Others, however, who were NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS. WALTER.
