The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, October 17, 1897, Page 10

10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 17 1897. Now comes Charles Frohman, theatrical | manager of much renown, and, duly | swearing, says San Francisco is a “has | been” city and don’t know a good th: | when it sees it. Wherefore the said | Charles Frohman will send no more good things, of which he deems ke hasan un- seemly monopoly, to the Pacific Coast. It was very wrong of Charies to say | these things and he will probably be d repentant and apologize like a gentleman by impeaching the veracity of the scribs who gave the people the outpourings of the Frobman wrath. Once there w. n actor, or was it an | actress, who said San Francisco had the bad luck to be jay? And jay is a grie ous condition for any self-respecting citv | to awake from a dream of self-content- ment and find itself laboring against. Now when that particular Thespian is | about to come to this city, sugar-coated denials always precede the show in Bry- | anic propertion to the regular advance notices. But the gorge won’t down, San Francisco objects to being classed as a jay town, and it denies vigorously that itisa “has bee And Charles will be sorry | that he said it. Awey down low, so that no barbaric Eastern ear can hear, are we a jay town ? 1s San Francisco a “*has been” in matters | theatrical, and do viands which ticklea the artistic palates of the cultured East elicit the scornful spurnings of our play- goers? That is what Frohman savs, and he has been catering to both ends and the middle of this great country long enough to entitle his disparaging remarks to the dignity of a vigorous denial. The theatrical magnate dates our artis- tic decline three vears back, ana during the intervening period hesays we have re- jected thoss things which were of good repute in Father Knickerbocker’s big vil- lage and have showered our adulation | upon cheap houses and stock companies. Which shows that Charles’ memory is not as clear as it might be ana he has confounded our situation with that of Podunk or some other place neater the sobbing breakers of the Atlantic. For three years this prince of the mum- mers has been sending us the best he had | just to show he was a good fellow, but we have refused to be good, and now we can’t have any more of his plays, so there. That Frohman has sentus some good plays there is none to dispute. But there were others, and it is to the ill success of these that tuose knowing in matters dramatic say is due Frohman’s present | bad temper. The published remarks of the theatrical man give rise to the suspicion that he has imbibed from the pages of comic weeklies and the columns of sallow journals a dy Gulch impression of San Fran- | cisco which has led him astray. Discern- ing playgoers assert that when an Eastern manager acts upon the idea that a| wezkly supported star and a generous acreage of bright-hued paper announcing *100 nights’ run 1n New York” will in- duce a San ¥Francisco audience to pav its od money at the door and advise its friends to come the next night he is building his bouse uvon sand. And even such are the accusations that are being heaped upon the man who says of us those things that please us not. Louis Morgenstern, acting manager of the Baldwin Theater, and thus neces-arily | a supporter of Frohman, is kinder in bis | terms, but his arguments are much of the Frohman hue. “The people of this ty seem to have had an apatuy for tne | last two years,” he said, An “apatuy” is | a bad enough thing to have, but itis better than being a has-been like John L. Bullivan and Grover Cleyeland. *Good | attractions are sometimes patronized well | and sometimes they do very poor busi- ness.” Of the latter class he mentioned John Drew and William Crane. It was the poor success of Crane which he be- | lieves had aroused the Frohman disgust, though he disclaimed any knowledge oi | the matter other than that acquired through the newspapers. S. H. Friedlander of the Columbia Theater entertains ideas diametrically op- posed to those of the New York manager, and he doesn’t hesitate to express them. “When I returned from New York last August, after a five months’' visit,” he said, “I said in an interview that if there was a jay town in the Unitea States, which countenanced inferior shows, that town was New York.” That sounds better. Then he went on to say that theaverage shows do a better business here than in any city in the United States, When business at the Co- lumbia was not good, he saiq, it was be- cause the show was bad and deserved it, and as an instance of a baa show which was given the marble beart he mentioned Frohman’s “Fatal Card,” waich tne Fraw- leys produced disastrously. 1t was probably the Columbia’s stock company which was referred to as the suc- cessful rival of Frohman’s high-priced crackajacks. In regard to this Mr. Fried- lander stated that be kept astock com- pany only during the summer months when there were no traveling companies on the road and most of the Eastern houses are closed. Digby Bell, who has the title role in “The Hoosier Doctor,” said some nice things about San Francisco’s audiences. “I consider San Francisco a very critical town, very hard to please. It isso consid- ered throughout the profession, and when any attraction does receive its indorse- ment the manayer and company are very proud of the fact, and cite its victory throughout the country. My experience bas been that they have appreciated that which is meritorious.” All of which was very nice of Mr. Bell. He probably con- templates fuiure trips westward. William Greer Harrison is a close stu- dent of the drama, and is fully competent to speak of SBan Francisco's powers | of ap- preciation. And Mr. Harrison does not thin k weare a jay town. “It is & question of supply ana demand,” be said. *“If the mznager sends an in- ferior company he will Jose money. If he sends a first-class company he will make money. People of San " Francisco . are very critical but very just. What is good enough for New York is not always good enough for San Francisco. “Tnis fact arises from the enormons transitory population of New York. In B8an Francisco, with its comparatively small floating population, all produciions are submitted to people accustomed and competent to judge. If the thing is good in itself we care nothiug abcut its accept- ance or rejection elsewhere. “The indgment of a 8an Francisco au- dience, because it is an educated andience, is of a bigher grade than that given by the floating population of New York. The prestige of a production in New York is not sufficient to overcome defects in the play or in the actors when presented else- where.”" Mr. Harrison stated that it was not un- common for companiesto present plays successfuily in the metropolis, and rely- ing on this fact organize a traveling com- bination inferior in every way, whose pro- duction would be expected to bz received with ioud acclaim because the piay had not been found wanting when tried in the to 8. | as the drama. | If this city did not support good attrac- | supercilions Charies sees fit or not to cisco. To-day the guests will visic the surrounding points of interest. Those who went with the party are: Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Dreypolicher and Mrs. Eliot, Mr. and M Bogart and Miss Farley, | Mr. and Mrs. J. Tyler and Mrs, H. C. Porter, Miss Greninger, Judge and Mrs. Charles A. Low, Miss Low | O'Brien & ~ons. You will perceive by the |trus balance of New York’s judgment. From such incidents he believed California had frequently suffered. . Morrow, whose charmiag stories : won him the esteem particularly of | ifornians, does not claim to be an au- | thority on the drama, but he isa thinker | and he knows mucn of San Francisco peoole. In discussing this question, he d: ‘It seemsto me that the advance- ment of the people in regard also to litera- | ture and art should be considered as well i “The three are inseparable, and their | attitude toward one would be a fair cri- terion in regard to the others, New com- munities are apt to be independent in thelr criticisms and their stendards, whils the people of older places are influenced by precedent and tradition. The former are apt to be very accurate in their judg- ments and are quick to perceive real merit. It is due to this independence that California bas been able to produce 80 many strong and eriginal writers, and it wonld be strange if this independence was not exerted in criticizing the drama.” In Frederick Belasco, lessee of the Al- cazar, Mr. Frohman has s warm admirer. Mr. Belasco referred to Frohman as the Napoleon of managersand the friend of the profession. *“Fro: man is too great a general to make the remarks accredited to | him,” quoth Beiasco. *‘If @e felt that Way do you suppose he would have sent | out the Heart of Maryland company, with its two carloads of . scenery and its large cast? One of his productions is now on the way here. If Krohman entertained those sentiments he would call it back. He has more nerve than any of them and does not care for $1000 or so. tions why wouid he have sent Henry | Irving and Mrs. Kendall, imported peo- ple, here? Look at the magnificent busi- ness done by De Wolf Hopper and ‘The Prisoner of Zenda' company. In the face of these I cannot believe Frohman said these things. That he fears cheap houses and stock com- panies is ridiculous. They fear him and without his plays they would Lave to shut up shop. am of the opinion that some rival manager started that story to injure him upon this coast.” But as vet General Frohman’s denial is not forthcoming. In the meantime the people of San Francisco are sleeping | nicely, thank you; and whether the | send us his_genuine name-blown-in-the- bottle New York successes, the good peo- ple of San Francisco will still be able to sit up and take nourishment. In the meantime, when New York people say this is a ““nas-been” city, we insist on re- torting in laugzuage more pertinent than polite, “You're another.” And we can | prove it. | PRESS OLUB JINKS, Newspaper Men Have an Outing at Monterey.

No theme discussed for many years has created so much interest among dairy- men as the question of testing cattle with tubercuiin. It 1s urged by many of the oldest and most competent dairvmen that the system of killing cattle if the test shows them to be affected is harsh and unfair, The position of the dairymen was clearly set forth by Secretary Samuel E. Watson in an interview yesterday. While he agrees that the dangers of allowing diseased cattle to be used are very great, he says there has been too much excite- ment over the matter, and he holds that the system is unfair to the dairy interests, as it applies to them more harsh rules than obtain against others who deal in impure food. *Consumption has been spread more by people than by cattle,” said Mr. Watson. “We have invited consumptives to come to our State and have sent all kinds of literature to that end abroad. There is nothing to prevent them from going where they please in all stages of the dis- ease. There can be no question that the ireedom of patients to roam at large has done & great deal to spread the disease, as all doctors will say; but it is easier to kiil a cow than to build a hedge around a dangerous consumptive, and the officers exercise the right of slaughter. In spite of all precautions this works great hard- ship on the dairymen.” The subject has enlisted the attention of dairymen all over the country, and they are beginning to advocate the sterili- zation of milk by the Pasteur method as the most effective remedy ior the evil. Speaking of this phase of the subject, the A Simple Pasteurizing Machine. secretary of the Dairymen’s Association said: ‘‘Pasteurization of milk is the rem- edy that is being used with great success at Sydney and elsewhere, and it ought to be used everywhere. The system is in use with great success in Sonthern California and elsewhere in the United States. “This system kills the germs of disease and makes the milk absolutely safe, even if milk with the bacilius should by mis- take enter tbe market. This system would pe welcomed by dairymen every- where. By it the milk 1s heated to a point anywhere between 150 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit, and this heat destroys the germs without thickening the milk and changing its flavor, as is done hy boiling. The value of pasteurization. was set forth in a clear way recently by Nathan Strauss of New York, who said: ‘There is prac- tically no milk delivered for general con- sumption in cities that is fit to be fed in its natural state to young children.’ There is a probability that the dairrmen will soon advocate the pasteurization of all the milk that comes to the city. This is the dairymen’s refuge; their self-de- fense against legislation that they con- sider unjust. One of the greatest objec- tions they have to the tubercuiin method of condemning and slaughtering cattle is that there is no way whereby they can protect themselves from buying bad cat- tie. In the case of poor men the slaughter of their cattle means the destruction of about all their property. The dairymen say there are many inequalities in tuis law, especially since they have no way of telling whether the cattle they buy are slightly affectea.’ Two small boys, Fred Angelo and Josoph Mertin, were found helplessly drunk in a Goorway on ‘Pacific street Friday night by a oliceman. Yesterday morning they told udge Low taat G. Pancrozi, s restaurant 1004 Kearoy streel, served them 10-cent dinner, which made them drunk. The boys were d ismissed from custody, and the Judge ordered & warrant to be issued for the arrest of Pancrozi ior seiling liquors to minors. ———— Two Rigs Collide. John Sandeen, & carpenter and builder on Mission street, was arrested last night on Fol- som street on charges of fast driving and ma- licious mischiet. He was racing in his buggy with another man, and collided with a wagon belonging to Rottanzi & Co., liquor merchants. Both rigs were badly damage, ana Sandeen was thrown out but not injured. ———————— The city having the greatest death-rate n the world is Reims, Germany, the pro- portion being 28.62 per 1000 in each § . ork Dublin follows with 27.05 and New with 26.47 PESSIHISH CONTROVERTED Continuity of Business on Market Street Not Interrupted. Prominent and Well-Informed Citizens Forming an Association, The Projected Improvement Would Add to the Attractions of the Thoroughfare. Citigens, irrespective of class or station, are unanimous on the question of having the property fronting the City Hall on Market street owned by the city and con- verted into a public park. The impor- tance of takingimmediate steps to bring this much-desired object to an issue at as early a period as is possible suggests fol- lowing out the idea expressed by Regent Reinstein and coincided in by such well- known property-owners as E. A. Denicke, Irving M. Scott, ex-Mayor Ellert, George Center, J. W. Kerr and others, for forme ing an association for the purpose of ac- quiring the entire parcel of land from the present owners. The pessimistic view entertained by a few of the property-owners who are in possession of the lots fronting the City Hall on Market street, that if the prop- erty should be converted from its present use into an open vark it would break the continuity.of business on that street, i beld by business men and others in this city to be but a flimsy pretext to thwart a movement that would be the making of Market street one of the most attractive retail thoroughfares in the world. Following are the opinions of business men on the subject: Julian Sonntag, general manager of the Giant Powder Company, 430 California street: “It would benefit the entire of Market street, clean out to Valencia. A park there would be an attracton day and nigiht. W hen that place would be lightea up with electric lights, which it would when turned into a beautiful park, it would break the monotony of the street and add to its attractiveness. “'Piace shrubs, rosebushes, grass and in tume statuary there, and conceive what a charming place it will be, in preference to a collection of salcons ana ill-kept res- taurants. “Oh, 1 say get the property by all means and convert it into a pleasure- cround. It will just be the making of Market street.” C. Edward Grunsky, civil engineer, 530 California street: *‘The greatest mistake ever made by & people was to have sold the property for building purposes. “‘Get 1t back bv all means and make a park of it. 1t will make Market street an 1deal thoroughfare. ‘It cannot and will not break the con- tinuity of business. On the contrary, it will be such an attraction that it will be- come the center spot of the city. “It is & narrow view to take of it, when the gap is bein: set off againat such a beneficial improvement.” Professor George Davidson, who in knowledge and experience is second to no other man in California on this sub- ject, said: -*Why, there are some peonle who cannot look three inches in front of their nose. *“What happened to New York with its parks right in_the center of the business portion? Has Broadway stopped at Mad - son square? On the contrary, it is just what has made that street what it is to- day. And so will this projected move- ment be the making of Market street. “[t might as well be aavanced that the currents of the ocean could be stopped by calms as that business would be retarded on Market street by a break in the conti- nuicty of store buildings. Market street is the street for retail business, and nothing except a ten-feot wail thrown across it can stop its commercial importance or detract from its value in real estate for store purposes. Now is the time to cor- rect the blunder made twenty-five years ago, when this properiy was given away. Business will always follow progress and improvements,” W. J. Dutton, vice-president Fireman’s Insurance Company: *“l cannot accept the views of those who hold to the opinion of the proposed improvement being an injury to tradeand business on that street. On the contrary, I take New York as an example. Here, Broadway is virtually blocked by a park at Fifth avenue, and yet it is Broadway all the time, and business is just as good on one side of this park as it is on the other. I say make a park of tne ground in front of our City Hallnow. Don’t wait any longer.”” C. A. Fisher, a pioneer batterat 9 Mont- gomery street, an ex-Supervisor and a large property-owner: ‘It cannot stop business on Market streei. On e con- trary it will be of great benefit to it. The same objections were raised in former years recarding sand hills and low lving land. But trade and commerce overcame all those objections just as they will in this instance. Iam In favor of the move- ment.” Raphael Weill, proprietor of the White Hous dry-goods store: *It would bea decided advantage to the bus:ness on Mar ket street right through. You micht as well iry to stop a running stream by throwing in shavings as to try to stop business on Market street by the intro- duction of parks or open squares. *Look at New York, with ner parks in the business centers. The great trouble with Sen Francisco is that there are too many property-owners troubled with a shortness of sight. They cannot see any- thing ahead of them. It was sacrilegious, in the first instance, to ever sell the prop- erty for business purposes.’” Bernard Katschinski, proprietor of the Philedelphia shoestore, 19 Third street: +Itisall the veriest nonsense to say that a break of a few blocks on Market street, when turned into a beautiful pleasure ground, lighted up at night by arc lJamps, will interfere with the continmity of busi- ness. “It will just have the opposite effect. It will attract stranzers to the place voth day and night. Who ever saw a public building erected in the back yard of a great thoroughfare, such as Market street is? When that property is 1aid out in grass and flower plais it will be an adorn- ment to the entire city, and must most assuredly attract every visitor who comes to our city."” J. W. Kaphael of the firm of Rapheael Bios.,, 13 Kearny street: *It is the greatest of nonsense to talk-about this brezk in the coniinuity of business by adding such an attraction to Market street as the proposed park will if put in proper condition. It will have justthe opposite effect on the upper end of that street. ‘It must be borne in mind that there are more residences south and west of Lar- kin and Ninth streets than there are this side of those streets, and it naturally fol- lows that business must go outward in- stead of inward in any growing city. Let us have the property for a park now while the question is being agitated. Business will and must follow improve- ments.” S T T T S TS T T S ST MINING CONVENTION.
