THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1897. LESLIE. EFEP‘!:C)R 8B2RA co James A. Herne ha d one mira- cle in * Acres.” He has mede us willing 10 pay a good round sum a head for seats, put on our newest gloves and use em, too, so that if we do not sp! them, at least we loosen some of the bu tons in apy 2 detuils of domestic life that we wou!d look on with cold indiffer- ence in the bosom of our own families. At home we gaze on plump, well-browned turkey and never feel any consuming de- sire to clap our bands, but at “Shore Acres” a thrill of delight pervades the wholeaudience when the turkey is brought forth the oven, people gurgle with joy when they see how crisp and brown heis and they appland him asif he were the bird of f American liberty. worl hore As tne odor of baked meats is wafted, like incense, all over the theater, there may be a few dis- gruntled people who experience the | disappointed sensations of a hungry little boy, flattening his nose vainly ou side the pastry cook’s window, but these disgruntled ones are so few and far be- tween that they do not count. The cudi- ence almost t0 a unit welcomes the turkey with the joy of a tand of hungry six-year- olds clamoring for Christmas dinner. Another detail of domestic life that charms none of usat home, but delights us at “‘Shore Acres,” is washing the chil- dren’s faces. Materfamilias, and even paterfamiliss, when he condescends to #pare time for the weakness, can gush and gurcle and thrill with deligiat over the beauteous picture of baby taking morning bath, but no one at home ever sushes and gurgies and thrills over washing the jam off Mary's mouth, and the mud stains Tommy’'s little nose. Pat says, “Great Scott! do those cnildren always have dirty faces?” and materfami- lias loo at Tommy marking: “Those chiluren have been washed three times alreaay this atternoo: and now I think I will spank them,” and Mary and Tommy howl in concert as they are led captives to the nursery for a fourth ablution. No enthusiastic relation follows 1o study the details and admire tle beautiful picture presented by Mary and Tommy having their faces washed. Acres” Uncle Nat washes the of the children, aud people sit ir seats and crane their necks to get 8 better view of how he does it. Will he wash with the gentle rotary motion | that almost reconciles children to the hated use of soap and water, or will he grab the child by ner pompadour and rub straight up and down, regardless of nose and lips, as unfeeling nursemaids are in the habit of doing? Fors moment the excitement is intense, and then comesa sigh of relief as Uncle Nat holds the child gently under its little chin and washes its little face in a gentle, rotary way that would do credit to a certificated masseur. ‘When tbe little countenance has been polished into the similitude of a looking- glass, Uncle Nat makes the child blow its Jittle nose and the delight of the audience redoubles. If Uncle Nat were a mission- ary appis for the first tim$ to the visage of a little heathen, and every member of the audi- ence belonged to Mrs. Jellaby’s society for supplying the little heathen with flan- nel vests and moral pocket-handkerchiefs, the general satisfaction could not be greater. It woula take the whole Sunday edition to describe minutely how James A. Herne has made his audiences think there is no place like home, when home%appens to boe Shore Acres, and no detail of home life g0 trivial asto be despised. Shore Acres is a delightfully well-kept farm—just the sort of rural retreat that the couniry boarder is always seeking and never finds. Its pies are as large as bicycle wheels, and the MOROSCO- edom and the emblem of | his | and Mary, re- | ng a woral pocket-handkerchief | z ) FANNY RICE., ——COWMBIA THEATRE., ease with which a child carries chunks of them about shows that they would not crush your toes if you accidentally let one of them drop; the | Shore Acres celery and its bread are the whilest and the kettle and the teapot the most hospitable ever seen on any stage, end you must understand that there is no property nonsense about them. The celery can only be cut a few hours before each performance, the bread is not even bought—three for 10 cents—at a popular bakery, it is bome made; the kettle bub- | bles with real steam, on = real stove, and the teapot—a hospitable big brown tea- pot—is filled with the genuine cup that cheers, but not inebriates. I hesitate to say what “‘Shore Acres’ would be with a property turkey and card- board pies, a kettle that did not boil and | tea that was only make believe, butI have | a baunting impression that if the silver wedding dinner was only a Bermecide's feast mucn of the glory of the play would have departed, and if the acting was in- a play atall, or at least it would ve one of the baldest, most in<ufferably tams plays that an audience was ever called upon 10 endure. Do not for a moment imacine thoush that it is anything of the :ort at the Baldwin Theater. The acting is o finished and the staging is so care'ul that “‘Shore Acres” is invested with a | bomely realism that gives theater-goers | the iliusion that they are gazing into the actual lives of the simple farming people | who make the play. ntful as “Shore Acres” is, it would be too much to predict that | the play will create t e furore her that it | is said to have aronsed in the East. On the other side of the Rockies peopie take their | pleasures sadly, and the nentral tints of “Shore Acres’” would no doubt appeal more strongly to them than to Califor- nians who prefer to take their pleasures sparkling, like their climate and their | Simple ana de | champagne. In San Francisco, peo- |pte care more about teing amused |or moved than they do about weigh- |ing a performance from a higl-art | standpoint. *'Shore Acres” is more ar- | tistic than “The O d Homestead,” but it is.not so gay. Uncle Kat of “Shore Acres” is true to himself and to his simple, honest nature frcm one end of [ the play to the olher. The delightful old fermer of “The Old Homestead” falls | from grace, artistically speaking, 1n those | two acts where he goes to New York to | seek his long-lost son. In some of the | “turns”—I can call them nothing else— outside Grace Church he just escapes | making a buffoon of himself. His exag- zerated couniry cousin exploits are not altogether artistic, but they are amusing, | and box-office receipts have shown that | they are profitable. “Shore Acres” is written in a graver key, and Herne has been too artistic to drag chunks of comedy, and “turns” into workaday life. The only comedy in the | whole play lies in the little details of do- mestic life that would never be noticed at home and in the quaint human weak- nesses of some of the characters—Uncle Nat's little foibles in the way of believing he can cook turkey and cranberry sauce better than the women folks; the artful devices of the grass widower to get a **hand-out” of the turkey when itis cooked, the stern, unberding orthodoxy of the 12-yvear-old theologian and the abject way in which the revengeful father wilts when a litile, helpless yrandchild is put into bis arms— in this sort of comedy the Jangnter lies near to tears. It is true to mature, but it artistic **Shore Acres” would scarcely be | does not eplit the sides of the groundlings nor deplete their pockets, as more breezy, insouciant comedy and “turns” are apt to do. Herne has evidently tried to make his play an exact transcription of New En.- land farm iife, and has permeated it with a simple realism that is more Latin than Anglo-Saxon. His charactersare no better and no worse than the average everyday people in real life. They eat, drink and make merry, quarrel and achieve their love-making in a commonplace way, as people for the most part are in the babit of doing, outside plays and novels. When they are good they are not impossibly good, and when they are bad they are not absoluteiy horrid. There is no doubt about the daring of an author who attacks commonplace characters and treats them in this complex way. Most ool go8Sedsc0ct modern English-speaking dramatists seem to think that from 8 till 11 in the evening is all too short a time to attempt complex | character-drawing. There is not a heroic | Herne's play, except Uncle Nat, and he is {ona of those guiet, workaday heroes whom Alpho works, delights to honor. I name Daudet | especially because of all the modern | French writers ke has touched, with a feathery pen, the little human weak- character in nesses and foibles and the traits | of unexpected seli- nbnegation and heroism that sometimes surge to | the suriace in the most outwardly com- jmonplace and everyday cbaracter. Modern English-speaking writers are apt todraw their chasracters with a coarser pen. Uncle Nat might belong to Daudet's ‘“Lettres de Mon Moulin.” He is a to- tally different type from the peasants of Souihern France, whom Daudet draws with a master kand, but “One touch of fellow fecling makes the whoie world kin,” and Uncle Nat’s human nature be- | neatb his New England sheil is something that Daudet might have drawn. Herne’s playing of Uncle Nat’s charac- fer is as licht and feathery as his draw- ing ofit. For my part, the other char- acters, with the turkey and the celery and the property baby (the only unreal thing | in the play) thrown in, are all pleasant to see, but they are sideshows compared to ! the attraction of Herne's “Uncle” Nat | Berry. Marie EVELYN. Baldwin Theater. James A. Herne begins hissecond week at the Baldwin to-morrow evening in *‘S8hure Acres.” The next attraction at the Baldwin will be Fanny Davenyort, supported by Mel- bourne Macdowell, and a company of her own. Tnis will be the last time that the American tragedienne is seen in the Sar- dou repertory, for next season Davenport is to give np the French dramatist’s plays and give her atteniion to an American production. During her coming engare- ment she will present for the #irst time in San Francisco Sardou’s “Gismonda.”’ She will also play *¥edora,” *La Tosca,” etc. Columbia Theater. | *“At the Xrench Ball” will hold the | boards till Thursday evening, when Fanny R ce will give her first production in San | Francisco of her latest musical success, “A Fiower Girl of Paris.” Itissaid to be the most pretentious and artistic pro- duction that Miss Rice has yet attempied. it is described as & costume-romantic- musieal-comedy, laid in Paris in the days of Louis XV, the veriod of white | wigs and patches, affording ample oppor- Daudet, in his earlier | tunity for cosiuming, which is taken full advantage of. 3 The veriod of the “Flower Girl of Pars” is lsid pefore the French Revolu- tion, and it depicis the lives and manners of la vieille noblesse. Grand Opera-House. A sensational racing play, never pro duced here before, *“The Derby Mascot, will be to-morrow night’s atiraction at the Grand. It contains a number of sen- sational stage eifects, especislly stable | and racing scenes. The story of the play centers about a bright, preily girl, the idol of the track, who 15 known as the Derby Mascot. She dons a jockey’s suit, which, by the way, wili have the colors of George Rose's stables, wins an exciting race, shoots craps with the siable-boys sings, dances, heips along a pretty love affair and eventually saves her father's life. There is plenty of “go’’ in the play. A number of speciaities will be intro- | duced, and Lottie Williams will fill the star soubrette role. TJivoli Opera-House. The series of revivals of Gilberl & Sullivan’s works, which opened success- fully on Monday last with *Patience,’ will be continued to-morrow with *The Mikado,” for which an especially fine staging is promised. Elvia Crox Sea- brooke will be Yum-Yum; Josie Intropidi, her merry sister, Pitti-Sing; Jennie Stock- meyer, the pert Peep-Bo; Bernice Holmes, the haughty Katisha; Jobn_J. Raffael, the dignified Mikado; Arthur Boyce. ki Poo, the wandering miustrei; W. West, Pooh-Bah, the Lord High Every- thing Eise; Ferris Haruman, Lord High Executioner Ko-Ko, and W. H. Tooker, the Noble Lord Pish-Tush. g ““The Sorcerer.” one of the earlier Gil- bert & Sullivan works, and not often pre- sented in this City, is in preparation, to be foliowed by “‘Iolanthe,” “Trial by Jury and **The Gondolier. Alcazar Theater. Charles Klein's comedy, ““By Proxy, will be produced to-morrow night. The | plot of the story is as follows: Lord Clan- | morgan bas arranged with bis old Ameri- | can friend, John Bennett, that his son | shall marry Bennett’s dau:hter, a bright, | clever girl. The nobleman’s son has secretly married a woman ol vulgar origin, and when the time comes for him to go'to America to claim_his bride, he arranges for an American friend, Winters, to take his place. The two chums arrivein N w York, the scion of nobility as the Ameri- can and the American as the nobleman's | son. The complications which ensue are | amusing. The Orpheum. The Waterbury brothers and Tenny are new musical oddities who will appear at the Orpheum this week. They p'ay all kinds of instruments in all kinds of ways, | and their act is said to be musically funny. Dudley Prescott, the ‘‘Human Brass| Band,” is another importation which wiil appear for_ the first time here. Edmund ves and Emily Lytton will give a new sketch, the *“Tatkative Man,” in which | Miss Lytton contines her companion to just five words of conversation. The ifx‘\nfi\': and the Pantzers will remain; so | will Barney Fagan, who will sing a num- ber of new songs, and Henrietta Byron will bob on the stage every few minutes | wearing & new dress The Renfosand Ara, | Zelra and Vora are in their last week, At the Chutes. Bristol's trained horses and donkeys bave been engaged for the Chutes this| afternoon and evening and they will give | performances on the open-air stage at the foot of the lake. This wiil be their last | appearance in America for some time, as | they leave for Ausiralia on the Aiameda. | Johnson & Lundin, tne strenz men; | Briseno, the wire-walker, and Busch, the “‘golden vampire,’ are also regular fea- tures. Emil Markeberg will make a bal- loon asceasion and parachute drop at4:30 to-day. Sousa’s Goncerts. Bous: farewell concerts at the Cali- fornia Theater will be given this alter- noon and evening. Interesting pro- grammes have been prepared for both occasions. Galifornia Theater. On Wednesday, March 9, the French Opera Company, from New Orleans, will oven a three weeks' season with ‘‘Le Trouvere” (I: Trovatore). On Friday night the double bill of “‘Cavelieria Rus- ticana” and *'La Navarraise” wiil be pre- sented. The latteris a one-act onera by Massenet, the music of which the French papers bave repeatedly pronounced an ex- act pendant of Mascagni's **Cavali ria.”” The book is by Jule Claretie and Henri Cain, and tells a blood-curdling story of a Spanish girl, who steals into a Carlist | camp and murders the insurgent ieader in order to win the price set on his head, | as she wants the money for her weda:ng | poriion. Anita finds too lite that her| over will not s .are in the proceeds of ler | | | treschery, and she goes mad as the cur- tain falls. One scene, where the camp | fires are displayed throush filmy gauze, as | night is supposed to fall, has alwavs been spoken of as one of the most striking pic- tures in modern lyric drama. In spite of | 1ts ressmbiance to the musc of “Caval- leria Rusticana,” “‘La_Navarraise’ con- tains some characteristic touches of M senet, ulariy a serenade, which is The work is more avalleria,” as it is played to a constant accompaniment of | shooting. On Tuesday evening, the 16th inst., a | new light opera, “‘Les Nocesde Jeannette,” ill be played and on Thursday Reyer Irric drama, “Sigurd,” will be given i | first San Francisco production. “Sigurd’ is one of tue works of whicn thé modern French scnool is most proud. Itlends itself to a Wagnerian wezlth of siage ef- fect and is said to have been very success- fully produced in New Orleans by the French comryany. Following “Sigurd” will be * “L'Africaine” and Gounod's “FausL.” Tue subscription sale of reats for the overa will begin on Wednesday morning and the regular sale on Saturday. | Third Symphony Goncert. The third concert of the San Francisco Symphony Society takes place at the | Columbia” next Thursday afternoon at | 8:30. Mlle. Antoinette Trebelli will be the voeal soloist. It is years s nce San Fran- cisco has heard a singer with such pristine purity and freshness of voice, combinedl with such exquisite vocal method. She is in the very zenith of ber powers, uniike most of the wreat vocalists heard here lately, on whom the wear and tear of | opera is beginning to tell. Gustav Hinrichs will conduct an orches- tra of nearly sixty musicians and the pro- gramme wiil inciude Berlioz’s “Roman Carnival” (Brahm’s symphony 4, in K minor), for the first time in this City, and the fantasia from *“Hansel and Gretel.” Grawford and His Gritics. Marion Crawford does not blame bim- self or his coilaborator, nor the Holland Brothers for the utter failare ot his *Dr. Claudius” at the Fifth-avenue Theater; be blames the critics. In a letter to the Herald the playwright-novelist tells these gentlémen that his plans are not at all affected by their unfavorable verdiet; and after jabbing them with the pleasing little remark, “‘Critics very seldom ex- press the public opinion in regard 1o the merits of a book or a play,” he adds: We have other plays written, and the negotiations for producing the next are proceeaing without interruption, I am determined 10 gain a place as & p wright, and my success or failure wili | be sterniy inquired | Hospital ultimateiy be judged by the public; neither one nor the other can be predicted even by the very best of critics.” ' The New York critics are not arguing the question of Marion Cpawfora's failure as a playwright, they #imply say that there is not a situation in “Dr. Claudius, that the play is as undramatic as the *'City Directory,” " and that the sooner it is shelved “the better for the Holland Brothers. Dramatic Brevities. “Jim the Penman” will be presented at the Alcezar Theater in the near future. Adele Belgarde makes ber first eppearance with the Alcezar Company t0-morrow night. Thomas C.Leary has made & great hit in Philadelphia as Pat O'Hara in *Srisn Boru.” anny Davenport does not believe in genius. With me,” she declares, “it is simply work, work, work.” R. A. Barnet declares that it is quite appro- priate to say an actor ‘‘soars to success,” for the stage has wings. Leura Millard, the new prima donna of the Tivoii, who is u favorite in this City, bae been detained in Boston by illness, and she will ar- rive this week. Next faturday afternoon Fanny Rice will Rive the last of her series of ladies’ matinees, which have been successiully given in every city along the itinerary, from New York. The fact that Henry Miller sheds real tears in “‘Heartseate” hss caused as much discus- sion in the New York papers as when Clara Morris' pecuiiar talent in that direction was first discovered. The subscription sale of seats for the grand opera season will be held in order to give | those who desire seats for the entire serles of twenty operas the opportunity of sceuring the most desirable loc: “What will the new woman do?” asks R. A. Baruet, pathetically, “when she discovers that the husband whom she has raiscd to social position and on whom she bas lavished luxury is determined to 0 on the stage oritz Rosenthal, the distinguished pianist, attributes his illness to a dinner eaten in company with the late William Steinway, after which both were taken ill with typho! fever.

Pauline French, who made her debut as Celia 2t the Sutro Heights performance of As You Like It.” has made a great hit in New k with the Daly company. Sne is playing Chariotte to Ada Rehan's Mrs. Poskett in Magistrate.” The critics are unanimous in her praise. Charles A. Bigelow tells & funny story bout one of the chorus girls in “The Girl From Paris,” who has been persistent nd consistently late in reporting for duty every evening for a week past, for which offense she has been nightly reproved by the stege manager.
