8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESfiAT, MARCH 8, 1898. BOSTONIANS IN A BAD OPERA “«Rip Van Winkle ” Is the | Worst Since “The Bathing Girl.” Lively Minstrels Chase thel Gloom From the Co- | | jumbia. i Bill—Alcs- Sabel and a Blg Orpheum zar's “Gilded Fool”—Morosco's New Piece. The most melancholy thing of a mus- | jcal nature that has happened at the Baldwin since that night several years ago when a company that had been appearing In “The Fencing Master” smote us with a Denver comic opera by the name of *"The Bathing Girl” was the Bostonians’ production last night of Jules Jordan's operatic version of “Rip Van Winkle.” This was the first time the plece had been given outside the home of the author-composer, and for the good love I bear the Bostonians I hope it will be the last—or the next to the last, since it is to be repeated to-night. As a rule I am opposed to the sort of criticism that attempts to wipe the work of an author or of a composer off the face of the earth on the mere unanalytical s s0 of the critic. But tke book and the music of Mr. Jordar’s “Rip” defy analysis; even description could be nothing better than abuse. As Mr. Jordan is his own librettist he knows what he wants in that line, and he writes cues for his music—any old kind of a ‘“cue” that will start a song a-singing—and he Jeaves the action and story to the scen- ery and your familiarity with Wash- ington Irving. Hlowever, the sins of omission are only a detafl. It was not the play he Jeft undone, but the music that he did, which made the first night hideous. there are At a conservazive estimate sixty songs in Mr. Jordan’s opera, no wwo alike, d all banal and raw without combining of the HIt E: insistence that is often found in al tunes. The music is absolutely without reason; it is childish; and so | much of it as falls to Jessie Bartlett Davis and Alice Nielsen is an insult to bly grotesque pi: h the atroci- g W these artists. It wa to see them wrestli ties of their parts. The only way in which I can explain Jiece by the n the produc Bostonians is that Barnabee, the senior proprietor of the company, would s and hear himself the Joe Jefferson of the lyric The opera could not have sent of 2al bee; the s sim- ply larded fc :15 un- is an ava- il 10 5 the per Janche of Barnabee in the guise of the i henpecked Rip. young a Barnabee sings at least a dozen | songs—serious ngs, mind!—with a voice that would crack a safe. And then there is another hour of him in of comi the whiskers and emotions opera senility. The dogs of the press have always dealt kindly with Barna- bee: on nights when his years have gripped him hard and made his acting and singing next to impossible the crit- fos have let it go as a good joke, be- cause it was dear old Barnabee. " But when he is a part like that of las Dight it is time to call a halt and sug- rest a guardian e ASHTON STEVENS. Columbia. The crowded house that greeted the Primrose and West minstrels at the Columbla Theater is evidence of the position held by these favorites in the public mind, and the manner in which the applause was showered upon the com- pany at each turn indicated that the new features were as acceptable as any of the old ones which have pleased past audi- | ences. Manuel Romaine, who was heralded as Boston's greatest tenor, sang ‘‘Rose, | Sweet Rose,” and W. H. Thompson gave a bit of sensational sentiment in a patri- otic song bullded upon the destruction of | the Maine. These were the only touches | of seriousness in the entire performance. The Quaker City Quartet, as the Music- a1 Blacksmiths, presented a new skit that wastivery, thtehingand was (Ol ol Bt prises. George Primrose and George Wil- son have lost none of their power of pleasing, even if time is beginning to tell a little on their voices. The strongest vaudeville feature of the performance is the wonderful juggling done by the Mowatt trio, whose marvel- ous handling of Indian clubs is stifl so out of the ordinary as to bring forth round after round of applause. Orpheum. Webb'and Hassan, who are billed as the world’s greatest hand acrobats at the Or- pheum, do one of the cleverest turns that has been seen here for many a day, and this appearance of the first turn on the new bill was but a forerunner of the | other new good things to come, for the | entire bill is replete with high-class spe- | clalists. The crowning number of the new bill, however, is Josephine Sabel with her Hu- man_ Music Sheet, in which fifty colored | vocalists, arranged with thelr heads to represeni the notes on a sheet of music, | made a combination of fun, music and | surprise. Indeed, so well was this act re- | cefved that the curtain was finally kept | down because of the sheer exhaustion of | the performers. Smith_and Cook clever skit called ““The Millionaires,” and | are good enough to be retained for some | time if the applause they received last night is any criterion. — | Morosco’s. In Grattan Donnelly's “The Woman ln! Black” the first nighters saw ‘a melo- drama something out of the usual vein. The villains dabble in hypnotism and low politics, the hero is a_candidate for con- | gressional honors, and there are several | other innovations. However, the basic elements of old fashioned melodrama are not el:ng!?ll,\' thrust afil?e, and the audi- ence had large excuse for i over both the play and t“elisc?n‘t;uainsm Tivoli. Friday, Saturday and Sunday's per- formances of the “Gelsha” were given to standing room, and there - was a good house last night tocelebrate the by of the second week of the re"l‘_ul‘ag(nnlng Chutes. Out at the Chutes it is sworn to that this is the last week of record breaking Chiquita. Commencing to-morrow morn- fng the new z00 will be open to the public. Alcazar. In considering the Alcazar's production of “A Gilded Fool” it would hardly be fair to hold Wright Huntington's idea of the part of Chauncey Short up to com- parison with Nat Goodwin. Mr. Hunting- ton {8 not especially graceful nor delicate in the part; in fact, he and the rest of the oompa.n{ frankly pitch the perform- ance in the key of parior melodrama; but there is enough theatricalism and senti- mentality in the piece to make it survive this treatment. The !tnfie settings are retty, and the audience last night was ?arge and quite enthusiastic. B Postal Examination.

See?” The strangers saw, and entered side by side with no less personages than * Cummins and “Plunk” Ken- ny, the two geniuses to whom the “Boo Gang,” the second organization that was holding its regular weekly “old stag dance” within, owes its be- ing. As soon as the doors swung open the | strangers were greeted by a cloud of tobacco smoke and the twanging of a banjo, which, together with an accor- dion, furnished the music, to which nearly a hundred couples kept more or less time. As soon as the strangers’ eyes be- came accustomed to the dim light and they were able to take in the scene, e e————————— e ——————————— WAD THERE ‘\ : Ni)B:‘URr'\‘EPe'r:g i IN C_—MEN AROUNDHERE® through the mists of cigarette smoke from a hundred mouths, they were struck at once by two things, first, the absence of the gentle sex, not one wo- man being in the place, and secondly, by the tremendous gravity depicted on the faces of the dancers who, clasping each other as though separation meant death, slowly glided around and around with heads resting on each other’s shoulders, only reversing once in while, but never smiling under any circumstances. Benches were ranged along the sides of the hall and to one of these the strangers were conducted and left to the hospitable care of a young gentle- man by the name of “Conny” Freder- icks, familiarly known as “Conny the Crab. Why he should be likened to a crab was not manifest in his figure, but as inquiry of a bystander elicited the reply that, “When der bells wuz ringing’ merry 'er crab wuz ez good ez ‘er crow,” further investigation was discontinued. Crab or crow, Conny proved to be a first-rate little fellow, and the anxlety he displayed to have his charges see everything and the pains he took to anticipate and gratify their wishes evinced a native courtesy that many a cotillon leader could have studied with profit. See der mug ’er spleling wid de brick top in de black vest?” He would say: “Dat's ‘Stew’ Wolfe, one uf de ole time gang, an’ de bloke over dere in de gray suit is Chimmie Mahoney, de hardes’ ting dat ever cum over de pike.

The “Boo Gang"” is a club composed of young fellows who work in the dif- ferent foundries. It meet twice a week—on Monday and Friday nights— and it is strictly a stag affair. The ob- ject of the club is to dance and have a good time, and the price of admission is 10 cents. Occasfonally when the new members have attained a sufficient degree of proficlency in the art of “spieling,” a grand affair is held at the club’s reg- ular meeting place, Teutonia Hall, 1318 Howard street, and ladies are admitted with escorts. On such occasions the band is increased to three pleces by the addition of a tin whistle, and the danc- ing, instead of concluding at 10 o’'clock, as s the custom on ordinary nights, is kept up until 12 or 1 o’clock. To the jaded resident of Pacific Heights, who longs for something new in the way of amusement, a visit to one of the “Boo Gang's” meetings would be well worth while, and would possibly enable him to understand the difference between toughness and criminal vic- fousness. *. The “Boo Gang” is composed, to use the words of one of its members, of “de hardes’' cobbles on de street”; yet the fun it has is good, clean, honest fun, and the boys who make it are steady, hardworking lads, who take this method of infusing a little pleas- ure Into the dreary sameness of their lives. MAYOR PHELAN ANSWERED Auditor Arraigns His Honor for the Attack Made Upon His Office. Charged With Playing to Small and Inexperienced Foli- ticians. The hostile attitude assumed by Mayor Phelan at the last meeting of ditor Broderick brought forth from that official a communication which in- timates that his Honor is making a grandstand play to tickle the palates the attack upon the Auditor’s office is the result of his Honor's hotheaded- ness, to say the least. The letter read tor's Office, San Francsico, huat March 7, 1898. To the Honorable the Board of Super- visors of the City and County of San Francisco—Dear Sirs: Through the cour- tesy of your Finance Committee, to whom | was referred a_communication from his Honor, James D. Phelan, Mayor of San Francisco, under date of February 28, I am permitted to address you on the ninth attack from him on the office of Auditor. In addition to many statements and le- gal suggestions contained in his Honor's | communication that were some time since ‘“‘threshed out” by the Mayor 3nd| Auditor, there is the following that I consider deserving of some notice on my art. He says: p“l‘ therefuge recommend that the City and County Attorney be directed to insti- tute suitable proceedings against either the Auditor or the Treasurer, or both, and their bondsmen, to recover moneys pald as salarles during the current fiscal Year to deputies of the County Clerk, ex- Ccept as authorized by the act of February houid the City and County Attorney be called upon, in courtesy to the first mag- istrate, to enter suit agalnst myself and Treasurer Widber, 1 would suggest that he be directed to institute suit for the full time that we have been acting con- trary to the Mayor's xmer?ret-nnn of the law, so that instead of instituting suft for $14,377, the amount of this fiscal year’s ex- cess, he shall sue for $171,65 8, the amount our offices are subject for, and which has been taken from the treasury through our 1nnmxmemam{ during our respective terms, in excess of $61,200 per annum, the amount declared to be the constitutional limit in the communication under consid- eration. 1f you should enter suit for the amount that is now fewlng in this fiscal year you may be obliged to specify which de- mands of the eighty-five resented monthly are the ones that are Hlegal. or which thirty-two of the eighty-five de- mands are the legal ones. I tried to get that proplem solved by his Honor when he called to my attention—last October— that his legal mill had ground out the fact that I should sign only thirty-two out of the eighty-five demands presented for salary of deputy county clerks and copylsts, forty-nine " and thirty-six, re- spectively. If judgment be obtained for these months I would suggest, in justice to the bondsmen of the present Auditor and Treasurer, that, then, suit be in- stituted against our predecessors, their bondsmen and_ estates, for $352,19 22, the amount paid by them in excess of the constitutional limitation announced. You will, I hope, pardon me for saying that I think the request made that you seek the great honor and credit that would certainly follow success in obtain- ing so great an amount for the city and county is but a political *gold brick’ proposition. You can hardly expect that a genuine one would be so kindly ten- dered you. His Honor must have some doubts as to this being the proper mode of procedure. I think the Froper mode to stop the extravagance of the County Clerk, so far as reliates to the law quoted by his Honor, is the one he refers to in his communication as having been tried by a citizen at his suggestion, and which was__ignominiously abandoned in the “middle of the fight.” Had that suit been instituted with sin- cere and honest intentions, and an appeal been taken, the Treasurer could not have paid the demand, and the Supreme Court would have had opportunity to pass on the question and you and I and the public would have been spared the present ag- ony. I fear that the same weakness of heart, or lack of honest courage, that was so prevalent in the Mayor's camp when it was suggested to test the tax levy veto power in the Supreme Court, was the direct’ cause of the abandonment of that important case so soon as the Superior Judge decided against the citizen induced by him to play the part of cat in the chestnut game. The notice given the “officers of the finance department” referred to by his Honor was contained in an extensive and carefully prepared but very illogical ar- gument upon the illegality of the appoint- ments of the District Attorney, and also County Clerk, addressed to me under date of October 18 last. Having public duties that call for pcrsonal labor each official hour of the day, 1 gave all the official time possible, as well as all my private time to an Investigation of the volumin- ous matters and reasonings contatned therein, and made respectful and, as I then thought and still believe, full and fg‘&?" answer under date of November 2, The Mayor knows full well the difficul- ty I must necessarily experience in keez- ing up to the product of the rickety-rack- ety legal shoddy mill established in his office, and I respectfully !ugieit that jt is_at least cold-blooded that he uses his official station and well filled purse to keep the machinery of the ‘‘miserable old trap” turning out shoddy opinions in ex- cess of the demand. Production in excess of demand reduces the price value, and is a well-known business maxim. If the roduct in future be no better than that ately issued against the Auditor, and the manner of publicity given it in the Ex- aminer be not modified, I will be forced to the belief that it is prompted by malice and a determination to harass me, as well as being the rromptlngn of an unhealthy ambition to tickie the palates of the po- 1ftically inexperienced and crafty, with a pretense of political and public virtue. ‘Were I not well fortified with a rea- sonably decent political record for con- serval official integrity, the Mayor must know that the effect of his numer- ous attacks upon the Auditor’s office might be well calculated to do more than harass. The manner adopted for their publication in the er, under auspices of a certain peculiar and disrep- utable character—the side partner of a celebrated ex-political boss (whose follow- ers are at present the enthusfasts of his Honor), and who is at present the edl- torial manager of that widely -circu- lated paper—and the pains taken that no evidence of the fallacy of his Honor's po- sitions shall meet thé eye of its readers, is perhaps the best proof possible of the author’s own knowledge of their unrella- bility, and therefore they do not affect the well informed nor the bondsmen of either the Auditor or Treasurer bonds_are, respectively, $50,000 and $200,- 000). It is strange that serious matters of this kind should seem to be such playful subjects to those possessed of no respect for public virtue or official reputations. Herewith I send copy of my communi- cation to Mayor Phelan, under date of November 1897, wherein will be found a complete answer to the balance of his communication to vou, and which has called out this defense from yours very respectfully, WILLTAM BRODERICK, STOLE MONEY AND JEWELRY Burglars Enter the Resi- dence of Benjamin Joseph. One of Them Wore a False Beard and Carried a Dar Lantern. 7 Bureau Drawers Broken Open and the House Thoroughly Ransacked. brace of burglars who entered the res- idence of Hayes street last Sunday night and got away with $90 in gold and several pieces of jewelry. The family was at the theater. On their return they were surprised to find the front door open. Suspecting something wrong, Mr. Joseph quietly | entered the house, expecting to dis- cover the burglars at work. They had, however, left the premises, presumably having been frightened off by the re- turn of the family. An examination disclosed that the housebreakers had forced an entrance by prying open the rear window. In open bureau drawers, upset the bed- ding, and even ripped up a portion of the bedroom carpet, so determined were they not to overlook anything of value. Mrs. Joseph recollected that she had seen a young man, who she says wore a false beard, hanging around the house during the evening. Thinking he was waiting for somebody she paid no attention to him. She {8 now con- vinced that he is one of the men who entered her house and stole her valu- ables. Last night Mrs. Joseph visited po- lice headquarters and reported the burglary to Chief Lees. Detectives Bee and Harper were detailed on the case and they at once set out to make an investigation. By dint of inquiry they learned that there were two men in the job, as they were seen leaving the premises by a man who lives on the opposite side of the street. One of them, he says, wore a false beard, which he discarded immediately after leaving the house. From the fact that one of the men wore a false beard the police are in- clined to believe that he is known to one of the family, and evidently fear- ing that he would be recognized he face by store-made whiskers. LEAGUE RALLY. Spirited Contest Between Young Essayists—Competitive Drill. Saratoga Hall last night was the scene of a spirited contest between James O'Brien, Danlel Deasy and Edward Ho- gan, three talented young essayists and members of the League of the Cross Ca- dets of St. Mary's Cathedral parish. The competition was for the purpose of deciding who should have the honor of representing the parish at the next dis- trict contest, which will occur in about two months. James O'Brien, the first speaker and winner of the contest, S a young man possessed of more than ordinary ability as an orator. He has a clear, resonant volce and an easy manner of delivery. He also showed by his treatment of the sub- ject that he had been careful in preparing his essay. Daniel Deasy, the second speaker, 1s an earnest and painstaking yvoung fellow who handled his subject in a milder, though no less intelligent, manner. Edward Hogan, the last contestant, read his essay from manuscript. His ap- pearance upon the stage was the signal or an enthusiastic reception. W. C. Hopper, the chairman of the rally of the contest. ment was opened by singing “The Veni Creator.” The programme was as fol- ows: Piano duet, J. M. Miller and Will Pabst; vocal solo, “Sieeping on the Klondike," Harry Coléman; character sketches, Mas- ter Fay Dougherty; remarks by Father O'Ryan of St. Mary‘s Cathedral parish; sipging by the,Cadét Glee Club. The eveningh entertainment was con- cluded with a competitive _drill, which was won by Private James McSorley. ————— JACKSON IS IN FINE FORM. The Colored Pugilist Was Examined by an Olympic Club Physician. According to Dr. C. E. Parent, a phy- siclan selected by the Olympic Club to ex- amine into the physical condition of the colored pugilist, Peter Jackson, the great heavy-weight champion of England and the Australias, will give a first-rate ac- count of himself when he meets Jeffries. This Is what Dr. Parent says: SAN FRANCISCO, March 7, 1898. Editor of The Call—Dear Sir: By request of the Olympic Club I called on Peter Jackson at his training quarters in Alameda to make a physical examination in order to ascertain if the reports of his being a physical wreck and @ mere ‘shell’ of his former self were true, and 1 must say I was surprised to find him in such fine shape.
