THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY MAY 23, 1897 When an indulgent audience called on Nat C. Goodwin for a speech on Monday night he improved the shining hour b; confiding to his hearers that he bad sev- | eral new plays in view for nextseason and | that in the meantime he bad on hand a ! lot of English and Australian plays for sale cheap. This tempting offer may have been a little joke on Mr. Goodwin’s part— | he has rather grim ideas of humor at | times—but if he really meant that he pos- a plethora of plays, why in the mon sense does he not produce n bimself? as come back to us after an absence sc v long enough tomake the ow fonder, and he has brought 1e novelty (sic) with him, “David | Ishould imagine thata come- | dian who has io resurrect one of Tom b son’s old comedies must be very pindeed for a play, and I for one prepared to pity Goodwin asa victim | o the prevailing barrenuess of the play market. After hearins him say, however, that he had plays to sell, the only logical conelusion to arrive at was that he had | found s mething to tempt and allure him | in the role of David Garrick. Goodwin heart Garrick.”’ | Just where the hond of sympathy be- | tween Goodwin and the le of David | Garrick lies was not perceptible to the | naked eye and the unaided inteiligence | from seeing him play the part. The| sympathy was not in the costume, par- ticularly in those parts of it embracing silk stockings, for nature did nou design the lively Nathaniel for the exposing of his nether extremities in ciinging hose, | and in his top boots be looked like a man | walking about on two slender pipe- stems. The sympathy certainly did not lie in the powder, which was unbecoming, norin the satin suits and the sword, for | the comedian wore them all with the | air of a nineteenth century farmer | querading at a fan y - dress ball. | ere was nota touch, not a suggestion | of the grace belonging to an age that| ht more of external polish than it 4 of inward and spiritual grace. In his conception of David’s character | Goodwin came no more in touch with the | ideal David Garrick than he did in bearing | and appearance. He was an essentially | n de siecle David Garrick, the sort of | wain who might be expected to allude to | Ada Ingot as “‘My theater mash,” orto | her father as *“The Old Mun,” and anni- ating space as well as time Goodwin nsplantea England’s historic actor to e of the Atlantic. This naturaliza- n of David Garrick was invotuntary on ian’s part, but none the less was | vely apparent, for he has a | the banjo in his voice which roudly proclaims in every accent, *Made | in America.” Altogether “David Garrick” is entirely Goodwin’s mental and physical this need cause no wailing and , for the comedy, like Robert- other works, was made for a more cial and conventional generation ana not appeal strongly to end of the cen- vy play-goers. The only matter for re- et is that Goodwin revived it at all, when we have it on hisown authority that be has plays to sell. Since returning home from his foreign | travels T. Daniel Frawley seems to have t chang his mind to an extent | ly supposed to be the sole preroga- | of what society novelists call “the | sex.” On the night of his arrival I Frawley remark for publication at he intended to retire from the stage the present and devote himself to the ies of stage management. I fsel that e not been able to do myself justice in the nacting line. My mind has been dened with the responsibilities of the nce and I have not giy myself nce as an sctor. The critics on the ¢ Coast have been exceedingly leni- ent with me, but in spite of their kindness 1 realize that my acting has not been up to my usual standard en After being a witness to the throwing of this bouquet at the critics it was some- thing of a surprise to take up the Mirror and read that saving and excepting one “'old sage” T. Dau Frawley’s opinion of the San Francisco crities is that they *‘mis- take parsonal comment for criticism and | forget that any one may be funny by tality.” The versatile Mr. Krawley has since put himself on record as affirm- ing that the Mirror misquoted him, 1 were able critics— several “old sa fact—though the Mirror ha fted them down to one. Whether Frawley’s personal opinion of the critics is favorable or other- w s a matter that is not at all likely to rest the public, but some remarks that | e makes in this connection are worth guot- | ing by reason of their exczeding naivete. In denying the correctness of the Mirror | interview he ys: “If a man’s acting is | suitable isn’t it enough to say so? But why say, ‘Ob, yes, his acting is good enough, but one of his Jegs is shorter than the other,’ or ‘one of bis ears is longer | than its mate’? An actor, male or female, naturally has a sensitive organizatior, if he or she is entitled to the name of actor, and the public little know the ang! caused by unmerited abuse.” Now this is ridicnlous. No one would deny the rudeness of personal remarks, and to abuse an actor for being lame or lop-eared would be vpositively unchris- tian, but such a man has no business in the profession. An actor's appearance is part of bis stock in trade, and as such can and must be commented on. Goodness knows, actors and actresses unususlly en- dowed with good looks make capital enough out of the fact and never display any sensitiveness about letting their press agents boom their beauty in the columns ofevery newspaper that will consent to boom i A man with “one lex shorter than the otber” has nou the necessary stock in trade for becoming 2 Romeo or a Claude Melnotte, and it would be flying in the face of providence for him to at- tempt such a part. As for. the critics, theirs would be a case of love's labor lost if they dismissed a lame Romeo with the soothing remark: *Reasons which delicacy forkids us to mention pre- vented Mr. Dot-and-carry-one from mak- ing the hit of bis life in the part. His mental conception of Romeo would doubt: Jess have been aporeciated had not con- ditions, which it would wound his sensi- tiveness to mention, made the galiery openly deride him.” The fact is that Frawley would be as un- 1 kely as any other sane manager 1o en- gage the lame, the halt, the blind and the | don 3 lop-eared for parts written for the whole, | and when he implies that critics have no right to comment on an actor’s physical ness or unfitness for his part, he is sim- doing what i in the vernacalar pl, as “talking thro MARIE EVELYN. Baldwin Theater. For the second and last week of his engagement Nat C. Goodwin wiil present the comedy success, *‘An American Citl- zen,” which Madeline Lucette Ryley wrote for him. The play was given its first American production at the Baldwin Theater | favorable impression. It tells the atory | of a yonng ana energetic American, who, by his native emerzv and piuck, over- comes a world of difficulties, all due to the nsular prejudices of a stubborn Eng- lishman.

The next attraction at the Baldwin Theater will be the popular Liliputians, who are to open an engagement of two weeks on Monday evening, June 7. -They are to appear in a ne be an exceptionally duction called Columbia Theater. “Excelsior Jr.” will be presented for the lost time to-night. For the rest of this week the theater will be closed to permit of aiterations and improvements, and on | Mounday evening, May 31, it will opened by the Frawiey company in Had- Cnamb. up-to-date melodrama, The Fatal Card.” Its story starts ina mining town at the foot of the Rockies, where George Forrester is rescued from the vigilantes by Gerald Austen. For- rester, appreciating Austen’s good turn, tears a card in half, and, giving him one be re- | of thne pieces, says that if at any time he needs help to present tbe card and he (Forrester) will respond. The scene then shifts to England, w ere Forrester be- comes the Lead of a band of bond robbers, Austen, who nas falien in love with For- rester’s daught he is now known as Marrable—is accused of tiie murder of his father. The usual complications growing out of persecutad innocence follow, of course. The bit of card is presented at just the right moment, and everything torns out happily after a bomb designed to end the hero’s life has worked retribu- tive justice. The play will bé staged here with new scenery and appointments, Alcazar Theater. So great has been th: curiosity to see Francis Powers’ novel Chinese drama, “The First Born,” that the management has again postponed the production of “The Postmaster’s. Daughter,’”” written by Hon. Judson Brusie, and the Chinese drama will be continued for a third week, commencing with to-morrow night. In conjunction with it the farcical comedy, “The Three Hats,” will be played. It is from the pen of Henu'quin, who wrote *Pink Dominoes,” and s calculated to keep an andience in a constant siate of laughter. George Osb>urne, Adele Bei- garde, Hugo Toland, Harry Benrimo, Gordon Foster, Gerirude Tidball and Juliet Crosby play in the comedy, and Frank Bacon, who is known as a char- acter-actor, makes bis first appearance with the Alcazar Company.

Goodwin. “There was a vagabond house, very much on tke bum, you know, and the old chap wanted to console me, so he said en- couragingly: “\Never mind, guv’ner; blooming_bad hafter hall.

" gt AT EXPRESS SPEED. Lorimer Stoddard Dashes Off Plays as Fast as Did the Elder Dumas. If Lorimer Stoddard’s veracity were not unimpeachable it would be hard to be- lieve him when he says: “I was on the stage for eleven years, and for the last six years have given up my time to play- writing,” He looks so very young, S0 juvenile in fact, that one imagines that Beventecen years ago the coming play- wright must have been spinning tops and wrestling with the intricacies of the four R's, People are beginning to call Lorimér Stoddard the “coming playwright.” on count of his one great success, “‘Tess of the d’Urbervilles,”” in which Minnie Mad- dern F ske has been electriiying New York at the Firth-avenue Theater. Of course, San Frdncisco will not see ““Tess” this season or next season. Lorimer Stoddard says so, and he ought to know; but San Frauncisco is used to never seeing any- thing new in the dramatic line while the bloom is on therye. Itisanew depari- ure for a dramatist to come out here with his laureis fresh upon his brow, so Lori- mer Stoddard, who has come to the coast witu the Frawley Company, musc be taken gratefully, asan earnest that *“I'ess” is to follo I suppo! for writ- ing from both sides of the family” he remarked. ‘'R. H. Stoddard, my father, is a poet. and Ehzabeth Stoddard, my mother, is a novelist.. No! I was never guilty of writing in my childhood. I bad been on the stage for years, and was play- ing in ‘The Henrietta’ when the of writing a_one-nct comedy came into my mind, Since then I have written twenty- two plays, the first of which ‘her First Love’ was produced by Augustus Pi ou.” Stoddard seems to be more enthusiastic over Mrs. Fiske than over anything he himself has done in the play-writing lin, ‘*She is the Duse of America,” he aid, *‘as great in comedy as she is in tragedy. - It was Mrs. Fiske who wanted Professor Karl, another novelty per- former, will eat & banana, smoke and | me to dramatize *‘Tess.” Hardy had done it himself, but his version was mot accept- JeEny ] PIERSON MORQ5(9Y ed in England. You sece Hardy’s fdea was to write a quiet novel, and the con- versations, even the sitnations in it were not at all suited to dramatic purposes.”’ After the consent of Hardyv and the Harper Brothers had been secured Stod- dard presented Mrs. Fiske with the scena- rio of his dramaiization, and she ap- proved of it. Then came explanations as to the time allowed, and it was found that owing to some misunderstanding in the ! contract only a few more days remained. | Stoddard set to work, and between Friday night and the foliowing Wednesday not only wrote the whole play, with stace di- rections, but copied it as well. “Wken you write in that way the people taik of tuemselves,”” he said; ‘“they are like en- gines inside you, and the only difficuity is to choke them off.” Mr. Stoddard has made his first visit to | San Francisco to superintend the produc- tion of a play, not yet christened, which the Frawley Company is to give early in June. He is also at work on a melodrama for Rovert Taber and on a play for Olga Nethersole. Dramatic Brevities. Nat C.
