How beautifuily patriotic it sounds for managers to prate, as they are in the babit of doing, about their co sire to obtain American plays! you come down to cold facts, though, scarcely one of them is moved by the faintest desire to obtain anythinz of the sort. Playsare like hats and bonnets— the styles originate in Europe, and better is a failure made in London or stamped with & well-known Parisian name than a work with all the elements of success that only emanates from a plebeian American source. “I would give a fortune for a od American play,” cries the ereat erican manager in the intervals of ing out his itinerary for a trip to “in search of novelties,” and the e manager, whose business does not 'y bim in exploiting the European field, keeps his weather eve open for any E b plays he can get, and in his heart of hearts feels just as much contempt as the big manager for the struggling A - can playrwight.

Julian is to appear in the arena as master of cere- mories. The dramatist is to have the play ready for rehearsal in two weeks, but it is said that he has already practically completed it. Hopper's Goast Jour. The Hopper Company concluded its two weeks’ engagement at the Baldwin The- ater last night, and to-morrow will open the coast tour at the Macdonough The- er, Oakland, appearing on Monday and Tuesday evenings only. The other cities to be visited by this successful organiza- tion are San Jose on Wednesday, Fresno Thursday, and Los Angeles Friday and Saturday, Stockton May 24, Sacranfento May 2. From a financial standpoint Mr. Hopper's enzagement at the Baldwin has been most successful. sold out solidly every night. It is unfor- tunate that the Hoppers could not make a longer visit, but an imperative summer engagement at the new theater at Man- | hattan Beach calis them back East. At the coast cities *‘El Capitan’’ will be pre- sented with all the completeness which characterized its production in the East and at the Baldwin Theater. Goodwin’s Bet. People who know the inside of things dramatic say it iz not so much love and ing Nat C. Goodwin to pay a return visit here so soon after his last engagementasa desire to win a bet. With the close of' his season in this City, at the conclusion of his coming en- gagement at the Baldwin Theater, Nat C. Good win-will have more than carried out the winning end of the bet concocted by bimself and a number of friends to the effect that he has traveled over a greater number of miles in bis season of eleven months than any other theatrical organi- zation has ever covered in the sam: space of time. Immediately after the arrange- | ments were made last June, the comedian and his company came across the conti- nent by a most zig-zag route, making a | great many miles. His trip to and through Australia, and his subsequent ra- turn, sdded something over, 15,000 miles. | Upon landing here he was routed through the North and into Canada. From there be jumped indirectly to Tampa, Fla. Mile after mile of country on the At'antic Coast were crossed snd recrossed. The jumps of the company were the talk of ihe entire profession in the East, and Mr. Goodwin finished up his remarkable travel by once again coming across the The house was | devotion to San Francisco that are incit- | fifty miles for £1000, £250 to be deposited iy both, as a guarantee of good faith.

The celebrated French poet, Saint-Foix, who, in spite of his large income, was al- ways in debt, sat one cay in a barber’s shop waiting to be shaved. He was lath | ered, when the door opened and a trades- man entered who happened to be one of the poet's largest cretitors. No sooner did this man see Saint-Foix that he an- grily demanded his money. ; “The poet compo-edly bezged him not to make & scene. “Won't you wait for the money until I am shaved?'” “Certainly,” said the other, pleased at the prospect. Saint-Foix then made the barber a wit- ness of the agreement and immediately took & towel, wiped the latner from his face and lert the shop. He wcrea beard to the end of his days.
