THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 8, 1897. 2 5 JONN DREW ¢+ IN ROSEMARY BALDWAN n«sm‘ For weeks past an awe-inspiring mys- tery bas shrouded Francis Powers’ new Meets Greek.” Mr. Powers /had nothing to say for publication, the | &) | | | | strange translation, management had nothing to say for pub- | lication, no one bad anything to say for | publication. OI course a few facts anut‘ the play leaked out, because whedever | two or three bakers’ dozens of people are pathered together to rebearse a produc- tion a few of them are bound to talk But the babblers at the Al ““I'urk Meets Greek’ in wh actor-author loomed up within earshot. The reason for all this mystery was that Francis Powers, like Ada Reban and Elenora Duse, when he became famous. distinguished women one better, how- ever, for he wished that his play sheuld be as jealously guarded from the insidi- ous reportorial presence as he guarded himself. The fortunate author of “The First Born,” like Lord Byron, woke up one morning to find himself famous. A On Tuesday morning Fowers will wake to find his fame increased and multiplied if the Alcazar press agent has not been in- | dulging in the only infirmity of his fra- ternity—drawing the long bow, for at last the press and public have been enlight- ened. “Turk Meets Greek” isnolonger shrouded in mystery; the press agent has spoken, and in no uncertain terms. He informs us that: “The treatment of the play is original, the argument force the staging elaborate, and the costume: scenery and properties bistorically ac- curate.’”’ It leaked out weeks ago that the scenes of “Turk Meets Greek’ were all to be laid in Greece and Turkey during the present year of grace, now it transpires that half the time the actors are to be Turks and half the time Greeks, which must cost the management somethirg in wardrobes and millinery. having a kind Mabatma to waft his as- tral body to the scenes of conflict has ac- quired bis atmosphere and local Greek coloring by the perusal of newspaper ac- counts of the Greco-Turkish batties. He bas also ‘‘delved deep into Grecian lore,”” and the resalt is summed up by the gen- tieman who does the press work for the Alcazar in these modest words: ‘‘There is enough of the history of the two coun- tries interwoven in the play to attract the attention of scholars; sufficient romance to interest the romantic; enough villainy to arouse the -sympathies; plenty ot pathos to touch the roft chords of the ten- der-hearted ; enough of the picturesque, beautiful grouping and admirable scenery to inspire children with deep interest.” No wonder “Turk Meets Greek” was jealously guarded from the reportorial pen. What mere reporter could have touched it up in the above style? “The tender hearted,” with soft chords to be touched, should not forget to provide themselves with a few extra pocket handkerchiefs to-morrow, for manifestly it will be a case of ““If ye have tears, prepare to shed them now.” “Rosemary” is a pretty idyllic sort of a play and the cast is satisfactory, but one misses the winsome presence of Maude Adams from John Drew’s company. On the 15th of next month Miss Adams is to open in Washington as a star on her own account, probably in an adaptation by J. M. Barrie of his popular story, “The Lit- tle Mipister,” A bogus performance of the play, for copyright purposes, was Te- cently given at the Haymarket Theater, London, and to keep out the curious 5 guineas admission fee was charged. Bar- rie himself, who is the smallest-sized of big noveiists, doubled the parts of Lord Rintoul and Bnecky Hobart.

The words of u good many of the old operas are utter non- | sense, and it does not matter whether the singers make the trills and cadenz=a to Italian or English words. In modern works all that is changed, and I should | really object 10 singing iyric dramain a language that the audience did not unde:- stand. In ‘La Gioconda,’ for instance, the action goes for more than the real vocal work.” Mme. Koert, like most other artists, is amused at Mme. Marchesi’s coming trip to America to ‘“‘teach singing while vou wait.” “The Americans are the most good-hearted and hospitable people in the world to accept such a thing,” she re- | marked. “Every one knows that it takes vears of patient study 10 become a singer, and here comes a celebrated teacher who offers to make vocalists in & course of lec- tures. Mme. Mdrchesi’s trip will bring forth inartistic thoughts, and I am afraid will mislead young girls who want to be- come prima donnas.” Mme. Koert in- clines to the old-fashioned belief that vocal studies scarce'y ever end. Aftera number of successful appearances in Eu- rope she went back three years ago to Paris and spent two more years in vocal studies. Sne has made a flyine trip from Frankfort to take part in the Tivoli sea- son and will return to Germany as soon as her engagement ends, After a London season, more profitable in press notices than in coin of the realm, Sarah Bernhardt is now enzaged in what the English call *‘touring the provinces."” She opened at Portsmouth in **La Tosca.” Not to be out of the fashion the Mayor of Portsmouth had arranged a grand recep- tion for the actress at the Town Hall on her way to the theater. The Mayor and the Mayor's beadle, and the borough mag- istrates were All There, but the lady de- clined to take &ny part in the ceremony and drove off in huff (and a carriage) to her hotel. Mme.

Jobn Drew and his company wiil end their engacement in “Rosemary” on Sat- urday night.

The audience is then shown the cabin, and after that the swaying rigging, with the sailors in the act of clinging to the yardarm, battling to turl the sails. There are also a collision at sea and a lone sur- vivor tossed on the waves. The fourth act piles on the agony by showing a dis- sectinz-room, but the management 1n making the announcement adds the as- surance that the dissecting-rocm wiil be “neither vulgar nor horrible.’” At the Orpheum. The great card at the Orpheum for to- morrow night will be Gus Williams, the German comedian and monologue enter: tainer. He has not been seen here for seven years, when be bad his own com- pany. He comes with new stories, origi- nal songs and piano eccentricities. Hilaa Thomas, a singing comedienne, well krnown here, assisted by Frank Barry. wiil also be new. Professor Leonidas will continue to exhibit his cats and dogs. Mary Arniotis will find no competitors when she announces that she is the “strongest womsan in_ the world.” She lifts nve men easily. Papinta is a grest dancing favorite. The Rackett broihers present a clever musical act, and when | one of the gentlemen supports himself on a church steeple with one hand and rings the chimes with the otbter, the andience is duly appreciative.

The opening of the grand opera season ander the direction of Gustav Hinrichs takes place to-morrow evening.

The success of the International Ladies’ Orchestra at the Oberon is shown by the well-filled houses that warmly applaud them weekly.

There are thirty-one speaking partsin “Turk Meets Greek,” taken by seventeen different persons. There will be sixty people on the stage at one time.

Bates and Mrs. Francis Powers. Golumbia Theater. ‘To-morrow night the Frawley company will revive one of its former successes, “The Charity Ball.” Itis not for lack of new plays that Manager Frawley has de- cided on this step, for he holds the right to a number of dramas that are new to thig City. Itisin response to a popular demand that he has resolved to revive “The Charity Ball.” The plot is too well known to be retold. Belasco and De Mille, its authors, made a happy hit when they chose John Van Buren, the rector of arich parish, and Ann Cruger, a typical New York society girl, to be the central figuresof the play, whichis a tancleastory of a woman’s love and devotion, full of caustic touches on social aud business foi- bles. Blanche Bates will play the part of Ann Cruger, Frank Worthing will be seen again as John Van Buren and the cast will call for nearly the entire strength of the Frawley company. Foliowing *The Char- ity Ball” the Frawleys will be seen in the Lyceum Theater’s success, *‘The Idler.”’ Grand Opera-House. “The Tornado,”” a scenic play by Lin. coln J.

The Bloomer Minstrels made an immediate hit and the first part (Ama- zon march and specialties) is thoroughly enjoyed. Andy and Flora McKee have been specially engaged for the coming week. Their act is called “The Country Schoolmaster and His Favorite Pupil.”” The scenic railway, haunted swing, chutes, *Trip to Ogden,” merry-go-round and other attractions at the Haight-street grounds are as popular as ever, Attractions at Sutro’s. This afterncon and evening a pro- gramme of aquatic novelties and specialties will be presented. The water events are novel and promise merriment and consid- erable interest. A 50-yard one-armed race for men and a 50-yard one-legged race for boys should afford an excellent object lesson on the ease or difliculty with which one accustoms oneself to changed conditions, especially as thereis a little Klondvke at the end in the shape of money and other prizes. The Zoyarows, aerial artists; Rand and Duck, acrobatic come- dians; Zeds, ccntortionist; Mlle. Lira, transformation_dancar, and Clarence Ma- son, Lorizontal bar expert, are the spe- cialty artists who will appear. Dramatic Brevities. David Belasco, accompsnied by his family will arrive here to-da: «In Gay New York” will be presented at the Baldwin in a few months. “Mignon” will be one of the bills of the Tivoli grand opera season. Cissy Fitzgerald denies the report that she is to become Mrs. Alired Clayburgh. There is one already. Ethel Barrymore, who appeared in ‘Secret Service” in London, has joined Sir Henry Irving’s company. “The Heart of Maryland” will receive its initial London production at the Comedy The- ater during July, 1898 Effie Stewart, who appeared hiere on several oceasions with Scheel’s orchestra, has been engaged for the Tivoli grand opera season. Robert Downing will be seen the coming season in anew play entitled **Davia Laroane,” based on the theme of & novel by George Ohnet. Professor Tronchet, the fencing-master, will appear with Frank Cooley during the first scene of “Turk Meets Greek,” and give a duel- ing exhibition. Two Trilbys were in trouble last week: Edith \ | Crane, bitten by & snake,and Virginia Har- ned, neariy drowned and tewed in by a cata- maran at Lawrence Beach. J. M. Colville, by kind permission of T. Dan- fel Frawley, has been specially engaged to create tne part of General Smolensky in Fran cis Powers’ new play, “Turk Meets Greek,” to be produced to-morrow at the AlCszar. Somebody wrote once upon & time to the late Henri Meitha: to 8sk his advice as 1o how 10 become & dramatic author. “It is a diff- cult career and the trade is noteasy,” wrote back Meilhac. “Above all, it needs success. Yes, success is the thing il you want to have talent.” The successof “Secret Service” im London will oren the way for other American plays. Louis Nethersole has purchased the London rights of Edwin Milton Royle’s “Friends” and Charles Frohman’s Longon agent Las se- cured Mr, Rogle’s lutest success “‘Captain Im- pudence,” Marie Wainwrizat has at last seceaed to the ranks of the vaudevilliens. She has pur- chased a one-act p ay in Europe Ly an author whose name is not dvulged, but whom Miss Walnwright's agent avers to be “promiuent,” and she wiil make her debut iuitatone of Keith’s theaters in (he early autumn. Signor Novero, the bassp, at one time a mem- ber of the Metropolitan Opera-house company, has been stricken with paralysisand is almost helplcss. He s fu London with his wife and two children. His last engagement was with Mme. Patti in & concert tour. Mue. Patti has been most kind to the sfilicted singer. Anthony Hope Hawkins, in response to a question by the correspondent of the Associ- ated Press as to the report that he was engaged to Miss Ethel Barrymore, said: “‘There is no truch in it whatever. The papers have had me engaged to several youag iadies, and I could not marryall of them, even if any of them would consent.” London is rapidly being regarded as the Mecea of Americaa actors and playwrights, and now Sousa says he does not see why American musiciaus should not have & look in'too. The march king's compositions were played & good deal during the jubilee, and there seems to be & demand for Sousa himsaif, 50 he is negotiating for an appearance Lhere with his band. The five wicked little Barrison sisters have disbanded. Three have returned to their wother, the widow Barrison, who lives in Den- mark, while Sophie and Leona will go to Os- tend, where Lieron, Leona’s husband, is going to open a cafe-chantant. This disbanding shows that a reputation for wickedness, un- supported by telent, will not prove a peren- niat attraction. A villainous joke, showing that all members of the same family are not equaliy endowed, issometimes perpetrated on the Drews. It rups as follows: “John Drew (do), Sydney doa’t.”” According to advices from London, however, it seems that Sydney is now worthy of the family name, for ne and his wife ars deciared to have made a great hit attbe Tivoli in their sketch, “When Two Hearts Are Won.” Amateur performances of great plays have been common for charitable purposes, often to feed the ambition of those who have ap- peared in them.

Mlle. de Merode will leave this side of the ocean August 24 by a North German Lloyd steamship. She will be accempanied only by her mother, a Belgian, and her famous poodle, Toto. *Like myself,” she remarked to the World corcespondent in Paris, ““Toto has a horror of foreign places and keenly dreads the long see journey. We shall be miserable exiles to” xether,”’ In London recently Mrs. Cooney, whose pro- fessional name is Miss Lotie Collins, sued the proprietor and editor of Society for libeling her by saying that in her song, “The Liitie Widow,” she was guilly of vulgarity.

The Man who Was Found Poisoned Last Friday Was John Hopkins. The man whose dead body was found in the brush in Golden Gate Park last Friday was identified yesterday as John Hop- kins, who for many years was receiving clerk at Langley & Michaels’ wholesale drughouse 1n this City. He resided with his stepdaughier, Miss Nellie Hopkins, at 1510 Webster street n Alameda. Miss Hopkins is employed as a retoucher in an art studio 1n Oakland. Last Monday heleft Langley & Michaels’ after reporting for duty and was not seen by them again until his body had been taken to the Morgue.

Richard Scannell, Bishop of Omaha in the Catholic churen and whos ritory comprises all that part of Nebraska lying north of the Platte River, is at the Palace. With him is the Rev. Father E. W. Fowler of Bioux City, i Bishop Scannell has come west for 4 vacation and will probably, when he has seen this Oity, g0 to Portland, He hoped to make this trip by water, but now that the steamers are so crowded with people going to the northern mines he thinks he will have to take the over- iand route. > “Itis excessively warm in Nebraske now.” said the Bishop, “‘and I thoughtIwould try to get away where it was a little cooler. When Igonorth T will probably not return here, but will go back by one of the northern roads.” The Bishop is a pleasant and quile approach- able gentleman.

THE VOLONTEER 70N THE Cop She Is Now the Pioneer Yacht Club’s Cham- pion Boat, A Broken Gaff Detained the Elia Half an Hour at the Start, Repairs to the British Ship Falls of Dee Will Ocoupy Three Months, The. Pioneer Yacht Club held its an- nual regatta vesterday and made a suc- cess of theaffair. The Volunteer won.the race, bus had it not been for the breaking of the Kiia’s gaff it is almost certain that she would have won the coveted honor. The course was from Powell-street wharf around the stakeboat on the South- ampton Shoals, back to Fowell-street wharl, thence to the Presidio buoy and then back to the finishing line of Powell street. The Volunteer won by 6 minutes 58 seconds in her class, while the Ethel 8 beat the Nellie by 3 mirutes 59 seconds. The Elia was balf an hour late in getting away, but after the gaff was repaired she made up & lot of lost time, and was rapidly overhauling the leaders when the race was finished. The San Vincent’s saiis would not draw, and she made such a poor showingz that she was withdrawn early in the race. Charles Trumpp, presi- dent of the club, acted as starter; W. F. Fiizgerald made an : flicient judge, while Ed Stone was official timer. The stern-wheel steamer H. C. Gradv, that came down from Astoria, bad her trial trip on the b:y yesterday. A num- ber of merchants from Oakland and many friends of the movement to bring fruit' direct irom the Sacramento River to Oak- land were aboard, and a brass band enliv- ened the outing. Everybody had a most enjoyuble time. The British ship Falls of Dee, that was on fire at the sea wall a couple of weeis ago, has been discharged and yesterdav| went to Fremont street. Her fore and maiu masts will have to be taken out and/ repaired and some of the stancheons and plates will have 1o be replaced. The masts were eaten away at tue base and have sunk a couple of feet. The repairy to the ship will occupy thres months and wiil cost wany thousands of dollars. First Mate Marray of the bark Mohican, i wnich sailed last ¥riday, has been the | victim of somebody’s spite. A letter was sent to the agents of the vessel, Welch & Co., telling them that Murray was at- tempting to smuggle 100 tins of opium to Hawaii. The mate was at once suspended, and while trying to prove his innocence the Mohicap sailed without him. Murray went to the Custom-house, and they knew | nothing about the matter. He tried to | discover the writer of the letter, but found hin to be a myth. Then he went to Welch & Co., but they told him the vessel hat sailed. There have been many attemp's at smuggling opium into Haweii, and in consequence owners and agents of vessels are more than caretul over the carrying of! | opium on their vessels. FOR OP:NING LETTERS. Arrest of & Music-D -aler on Complaint of His Partner. F. W. Spencer, music-dealer and piano- tuner at 933 Market street, was arrested | yesterday on complaint of his partner, G.
