San F summer-snap actor’s paradise, fo: e he knows there is no sweltering on roof gar- dens, no crying necessity for fans and iced drin Society is out of town d dog days, but what of that? Plen who find the theate f pleasant a place for spending the evening at mid- summer as at Christmas. So the summer- snap actor is waiting to come here cheap and put on less airs in & month than he puts on in a day during the regular New York season. Heaven forbid that I should point to ar, or galaxy of stars, and say: Chese are snmmer-snap actors.” That would be as unjust a proceeding as to call every daintily-clad damsel one meets & summer girl. Summer girls are proverbi- ally faithless, and summer-snap actors fold their tents like the Arabs and steal back to New York when the heat dimin- ishes. But the summer-snap actor is to be w us this season, and we shall all be heartily glad to welcome him, more particularly if we realize that the time is not far distant when San Francisco may begin 10 cease being looked upon as the eoftest of all soft summer snaps. ““The conquest of England by the Ameri- can actor’—that is the latest dream of actors, managers and authors since the news was flashed across the Atlantic of the triumph achieved in London by Gil- lette’s “‘Sacret Service.” American plays have straggled into London bafore now, but “'Secret Bervice'’ is tne first that has | come within a mile of setting the Thames | I Left Behind Me” | on fire. “The Girl waes produced about two years ago in Lon- don, with Eoglish actors, and made a tepid sort of succest. “A Trip to China- town,”’ “My Friend Frowu India,” “Chris- topher Jr.,”” “The Prodigal Father” and others have been localized and played with more or less—generally less—saccess by English actors. Neil Burgess is at present- giving *The County Fair'’ at a suburban London theater with his Ameri- can combany, and the eritics and public regard it with mild - curiosity as a “Yankee” curio. But “Secret Service,” prodaced by a New York company of American actors, is a real rousing suc- c Even Clement Scott, the caustic tic of the London Daily Telegraph, re- marks: The latest American success in London is “Secre( Service,” with its author, William G1l- lette, and his DAtive company as interpreters. 0Of courso there will be much of unfavorsble matter written about this production, but m il sccounts it will find gencral favor. Charles ¥rronman caoies to the Mirror an ex- pression of Clement Scottof the London Tele- Eraph as to this play. Mr, Scott seid: “Itisa great success. It f{ascinated us. Itis'the best example we have ever seen of harmonious, e&sy, well-balanced acting. Visits from such @ company with such a piay do us good. They wake us up instead of taking the bread out of the mouths of English actors and authors.” Charles Frohman is the commander-in- chiel of the American actors for the cone PERFORMNING LIONS quest of England, and the seasons play into bis hands. The height of the Lon- a close, ing to step on board a Liverpool or Southampton bound Atlantic liner than to spin across | the continent in the heat and dust. *I guess we will all have a look in,” said Nat | Goodwin yesterday, in speaking of the snccess of “Secret Service.” *Charley Frolman intends to play Drew, De Wo!f Hopper and E. H. Sothern in London be- fore very long, and I'll have a try there | myself, too.” Goodwin has played suc- cessfully in London before, but he intends | to be in the swim and try it again. | That is the one crumpled rose leaf in | the promising outlook for the conquest of England by the American actor—the fancy of stars will lightly turn to thoughts | of fame in London, and San Francisco | wiil cease to be regarded as the softest | | summer snap on earth. Mamre Opera at the Baldwin. Verdi’s “Traviata” will be produced by he Italian Philharmonic Society at the Baldwin Theater this evening, May 30. | Bome successes have been previously cred |ited to the society, but the production 1 with which it now comes forward is said |to be the most ambitious attempt yet | made by the management. Among those | to appear in the opera are: Ida Valerga, | F. Valerga, G. Zapelli, D. Valerga, G. | Vitalini, Adele Baldoccbi, Miss T. Valerga land E. Merani. The production of the opera will also be the occasion of F. Va- lerga’s first appearance in this Oit While traveling abroad with a large lyric | organization he met with success. He re- turned to this City put a short time ag He will sing the role of Alfredo this even- ing. There will be a large chorus, and speclal attention will be paid to the stag- ingof the work. A large orchestra will | also be one of the features of the produc- | tion, and it will be under the capable di- | rection of A. Spadini. | Columbia flea(zr‘ OVELYN. The new Frawley Company opens its season at the Columbia Theater to-mor- | row night with Hadden Chambers' melo- | drama, “The Fatal Card.” An eiaborate | scenic production is promised. There is | a strongly marked love romance running | through the play, which is said to contain | more human interest than most melo- | dramas. The hero 1s placed in -many dangerous positions, and L.assuch a des. perate fight to right himself and win his swectheart that the usual melodramatic elemext ofsuspense is well in evidence. In the last act a young man has tracked the murderer of his father, and discovers that the father of his affianced wife is the guiity man. He is caught by the band of which the murderer is the head, and, | bound to a post, 1s about to be kllled by an_infernal machine, when the- girl’s father finds in the lover's pocket one-halt of the ace of clubs. This torn card was given by the murderer some years before to the lover, who had rescued him from a mob of Iynchers in the Rocky Mountains, In an atiempt to remove the infernal ma- chine and save the lover’s life, the father is blown to pieces, which is a very expe- ditious and melodramatic way of dispos- | ing of an undesirable father-in-law-elect. | "Ihe tull cast of “The Fatal Card” is as follows: Frank Worthing, J. M, Colyille, Wilson Enos, Harry Corson Clarke, Theo- dore Hamilton, Thomas W. Ross, George Bosworth, Frank Thompson, Ulrie B, Col- lins, William Lewers, Thomas Phillips, Eleanor Moretti, Gladys Wallis, Madge Carr Cook, E. Bouton, Sophia Williams, Blanche Bates. f Blcazar Theater.

George O-bourne will repeat his imper- sonation of Ross Boiter, the theatrical manager; Adele Belgarde will be seen in | ber orizinal part of Jasamine, the Amer- ter of Philip Devon, the lover of Jasa- mine, acd litzle Nina Cook and James Horne have been specially enzaged to play tneir perts of Virgie and Roy.

The great demand for seats for Francis Powers’ Chinese arama, *“The First Born,” | seems likely to keep the little play before the public for some time to come. gilhs e Grand ‘0pzra-flousz. “Lost in New York,” a comedy-drama in which Maud Edna Hall is to play the vart of a jolly tomboy, is to be produced at Morosco’s Grand Opera-house this week. heroine rescues her little sister from the hands of designing villains on Belleyue siand.

Ysaye will visit San Francisco next December. The famous Kneisel quartet of Bosten, Max Bendix, that excellent violinist, con- ceri-master of the Theodore Thomas or- chestra, Bherwood the pianist, and Xaver Scharwenka, the composer and piano vir- tuoso, will all visit this City early in the fali, HE 'RAN AWAY. How Frank: Valerga Escaped the Honor of Gitizenship at Presi- dent Kruger's Hands. Frank Valerga says that to fight and run away is not such a bad principle when you have no interest in the result of the fight, but he thinks that a better principle is to run away before the fight comes off atall, Valerga speaks from experience, for if he haa not departed from Johannes- burg without standing on the order of bis going it is his opinion that instead of singing with the Philharmonic Society at the Baldwin to-night he might have been chanting with angelic choirs. It is not far short of a decade since Frank VIIIIEII leit the Tivoli and went East with the “Said Pasha” company. From that time till now he has never been heard in opera in this City, though he has almost circumnavigated the globe with different operatic companies and has met with many exciting adventures by the wav. For a number of months he belonged to a stock operatic company at the Gaiety Theater, Johannesburg, and it was only a and on Sunday afternoons. The Venetian | listing alien residents to fight in their foreign wars tbat made him shake the dust of the Transvaal off his feet for ever. “They may say what they like aboat South Africa,”’ be said yesterday, “but I would rather be buried tban live there. The country is all rocks, rich sand, lava beds and ant hills, and it makes Ameri- cans sick to see the wav Boers and Eng- lish alike%abuse the Kaflirs. Beat them? Why I haye seen strips of flesh torn from the Kaffirs’ arms and back with a greai whip ten yards long, that they use for driying spans of oxen. In the cities it is forbidden to pass through the streets with anox team without a Kaffir at tbe ani- mals’ heads. It is no uncommon sight to see the owuner of the team sit in his cart and whirling one of those preat whips round, bit the ir and make him jump four feet in the air. The whip generally carries away a strip of flesh with it. “In a financial way we did well in the Transvaal, for the Boers are very fond of music, from the President dowaward, but music does not soften the savage breast wi h them:, as my adventures show. One day I was sitting in my room, a littie bit of an adobe place with no windows and only an opening in the wall for adoor, when six mounted police rode up and 1resented a scroll to me, which they com- | manded me to sign, at the same time de- manding 10 shilings—they ask 10 shil- lings for everything in the Transvaal. 1f you have a sore throat they fine you 10 siillings. Thinking it was only a fine I signed the scroll and paid the 10 shillings. Afterward 1 found to my sorrow that I bad signed articles of enlistment to fight against Magetto, a Kaflir chief, who was revelling about 250 miles from Pretoria. _ “‘There was no American Consul in Johannesburg, but I went to G. L. Wil- liams, the assistant Consul. ‘I don't want to fight,’ Isaid, ‘I am here to sing and have absolutely no cravings for the joys of a warrior’s life.’ ] cannot do anything to help you,’ said Mr. Williams. ‘It’s a case of fight or get out, and if you take my advice you will go, for they will surely compel you to fight if you remain.’ Waell, it happened that two days before five Engtishmen had been made to go to the front. I was frightened out of my life at the knowledge that any moment I might have todo the same thing, so I made short tracks back to Cape Town, where I was safe under British rule. When the fighting had blown over I went back to the Transvaal, to Pretoria, for a short engagement, and there [ saw the five Englishmen coming back from the front. At first they had refused to fire on the Kaffirs, and the Boers had pun- ished them by shutting them up in a cage made of bamboo and feeding them on bread and water. The cage was puf over a cart and looked something like the con- veyances we call prairie schooners. After a while they gave in and consented to fire on the Kaffirs, but they were brought back to Pretoria in the cage. “1 saw them arrive in Pretoria. One had his arm shot off, another had a muti- lated hand. and so on all through the lot. President Kruger rewarded them for their bravery by conferring citizenship upon them, which means a good deal in the Transvaal, where you cannot take out papers unless you have been a resident fifteen years, and even then citizenship is hedged about with great difficulties. I should have been sorry to get citizenship atthe price of fignting the Kauffire, though, and was not lone in clearing out of the country for good.” Zink's X-RT\Jbar\tern. One of the funniest incidents in * Merry Tramps,” the spectacular production in which the Liliputians will appear here on Monday, June 7, at the Baldwin, is the pantomime in the second act, in the course of which Ebert takes a shower-bath. He appears very Lipsy, reads the sienboard on the bathing-bouse, and in expressive pan- tomime makes it plain thac he has decided to have a bath. He takesoff his bat, over- coat and coat, but on finding himself in his shirtsleeves he gives a comical grimace of mock modesty and retires behind the <hed. His bare arms place several other oarments into view, After s has retired Zink enters carrying an X-ray lantern which he turns toward the shower-bath, the sides of which at once become trans- parent and disclose Evert standing up- right, with his chubby back bared to the andience, and vigorously rubbing himse!f asif in a stream of water. Tie absurdity of the scene generally arouses a roar oi laughter. \ Dramatic Brevities. Nins Bertine Humphreys is in London, where she will appear in opers. A 8t.

Maurice Grau has secured the lease of the Metropolitan Opera-house for three years ata | rental of 2,000 a year. i The Edwin Steyens season at the Tivolt will show for the first time in this City some of the lutest Eastern successes. Caroline Miskel Hoyt, according to current rumor, will retire permanently from the stage at the end of this season. Jack Barnes is the hit of the London produc- tion of ‘‘Lost, Strayed or Stolen.” Decima { Moore is also in the cast. De Wolf Hopper says he is under a hundred doliars fine, payable to his wife, if he ever re- cites ‘‘Casey at the Bat.” U. 5. Grant is the name of the manager of the opeza-bouse in Ludington, Mich. Heis notrelated to the soldier family. After to-night the Baldwin will remain dark till next Sunaay, when it will reopen with the Liliputians in “The Merry Tramps.” «Nanon” was first presented in this City by {he Carleton Opera Company, with Fanny Rice, Lilly Post, C. H. Drew, J. H. Murray and Carleton in the cast. «Baby-carriage Checked” is a placard which 15 ‘in front of the Lincoln Theater in Chicago. This is an inducement for mothers to attend matinee periormances. Two theaters were recently managed by banks, one in Pittsburg and one in Kansas City, and in both ceses the banks have lost over $25,000 by the operation. The Liliputians close their season in this City and go back to New York in order to cateh the isst June steamship for Europe, where tiey 876 to make & summer tour. John Drew does not expect to produce any of his new plays until late next season, as the demand for “Rosemary” is such as to warrant its continuance for an unlimited period. A proposition hes bcen made to secure Charley’s French Opera Company for an ap- arance athe Metropolitan Opera-house be- Tore its next season opens at New Orleans. Pauline Hall has recelved an offer to appear next September at the Winter Garden, Berlin. It she decides to accept, Miss Hall will prob- ably sing at Paris and other Continental cen- ters. A picture of Katherine Florence when she appeared as the Indian maiden in “The Girl I Left Behind Me” is now being freely used by an Indian medicine nouse in New Haven, Counn. During the coming season Mrs. Leslie Certer will continue in “The Heart of Maryland, aud proposes to make her matinee bill mille.” A week will also be devoted toa new production. Belle Archer, who is playing Mrs. Ebbsmith in “A Contented Woman,” and was engaged for next year with that play, wiil leave Hoyt and McKee's forces at the end of this season, as the firm has not d-cided to send out “A Contented Woman” in the autumn, and there is o part for Mies Archer in their other plays. Before Marie Wainwright sailed for Europe she signed for a tour of the best vaudeville houses next season, under the direction of Robert Grau. Miss Wainwright will seek ma- terial in London, and Mr, Grau's London office playful little habit the Boers have of en- | has already srrenged interviews with several prominent English authors to take place upon iss Wainwright's arrival, Mrs, Leslie Carter will stop at Santa Bar- bara during her vacation in this State.
