The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, November 14, 1897, Page 27

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1897 27 Reanud, which, it will be remembered, was pluved by James O Neill at the first production of the piece in this city at the Baldwin Theater, by the old Union-square Company, in 1878. Mr. Pascoe has not only adovted a style of acting simi'ar to that of O°Neill at that parmd but he bears a striking resemblance, personally, to the older actor, all of which will assist in the effect of this latest revival of the piece in San Francisco. The manag-ment of the Grand announces new scenery, cos- tumes and the full strength of its cast.
