ASHTON STEVENS. Golumbia. At the Columbia to-morrow night Robert Mantell, a more or less cele- play of a serious nature in months. The play is of the romantic type, full of fight and intrigue, and | written for Mr. Mantell by A. W. Tre- mayne of Montreal. It is called “The Secret Warrant,” and takes its title from one of those sinister documents which, in the earlier part of the eight- eenth century, were sufficient to en- tomb a man in the Bastile for life.

How Beaumont is aided by John Law, the famous Mississippi speculator; how the Regent trembles lest it should be issued a blank “lettre de cachet”; how the hero outwits the jealous mistress of royalty, outwits the ambitions of poor Jean Bertrand, the humble gold- smith, to marry his daughter to the he comes-into his heart’'s own—these all are parts of the passion and plot of the piece. The period gives opportunity for pic- turesque and elegant costuming; and the manners and liaisons of the Bour- bon court will doubtless be reflected in ised that the production is liberal and that Manager Mart Hanley has sur- Baldwin.

Special scenery, costumes and accessories are being prepared and the palace scene will be, it is promised. one of the most gorgeous ever seen on a local stage. The music of the pantomime, writtenby Lachaume, is one of its most impor- tant features, and will be played by Fritz Scheel and his orchestra. A sym- phony concert will be given each even- ing in connection with the production. Seats wili be ready Thursday, the 1;egu!a: Baldwin Theater prices prevail- ng. The cinematographic reproductions of the “Passion Play” continue at the Baldwin during afternoons. Galifornia. Mlle. Toronta, Mlle. Matfeld, Cam- panari, Salignac and Van Hogse, all of the Melba company, will participate in an operatic concert in the California to-night. Bimboni will direct the or- chestra. To-morrow night at the same thea- ter a road company will appear in Hoyt’s political satire A Texas Steer,” one of the best farces ever written by this indefatigable humorist and one which is intimately and favorably known here. Katie Putnam has been specially en- gaged for the part of Bossy, Maurice Freeman is an honest Texas Maverick Brander and Will H. Bray appears in his original part, ‘“The Minister to Morin, and her original company, in- | cluding among others Mme.

Thomas Leary will have his | old part of the elephant-keeper, and “Bob” Mitchell will be the chief of the Cambodian dunners.

The play is “Hearts of New York,” and has been produced in the East to successful business. It is much on the lines of Ada Lee Bascom's “Bowery Girl,” and witn the introduec- tion of bright specialties by Miss Le Vyne, Williams and Casmore, and oth- ers, to say nothing of a fire scene and several ultra sensational incidents, .should prove successful. Harry Main- hall will play the leading part, support- ed by the strong stock cast. A patrol wagon drawn by two spirited horses will dash upon the stage, and a number of realistic views of New York and its environments will be introduced. Orpheum. The new bill at the Orpheum will in- clude several new subjects in -lerner's visions of art which have attracted so much attention and comment during the past week. Mr. Kerner claims to be able to produce even more lifelike effects now that all the machinery is working smoothly. Other new features are John W. Ransome, the political monologue artist, whose impersona- tions of well-known pcliticians, par- ticularly Richard Croker, are well- known here. During this engagement he will appear as Mark Hanna, as Gov- ernor Budd and as General Fitzhugh Lee. It Is sald that his impersonation of Mark Hanna and the political talk he gives as such is mirth-provoking in | the extreme. | Bogart and O’'Brien, eccentricmusical | artists, are also new. So are Hayes| neatest and cleverest dancing turns on the vaudeville stage. From last week’s bill there have been retained Lizzie B. Raymond, who will appear in a new repertoire of songs; Reno and Richards, the comedy acrobats, in a new act; Fish and Quigg, the human | cddities, in a new act; Robetta and | Doreto, Chinese comedians, and Tony | ‘Wilson and clown | Alcazar. | “The Gay Parisians,” a French farce | that is a trifle wicked without belngl vulgar, is still the bill at the Alcazar, | where it draws crowded houses at | The farce is one of the best of its type that has been | done into English, full of more merit and surprise and brilliantly construct- ed. The Alcazar company plays it in a somewhat noisier key than marked the original Frohman production, but the piece seems to stand for it and the fun is not lost. With L. R. Stockwell and Mrs. Bates as the Pinelets, Charles Bates and Miss Foster as the Paillards and Wallace Shaw as the stuttering | | and Bandy, who claim to do one of the | Mathieu, the central characters are in good hands. *“Niobe” and that endur< ing farce of Pinero’s, “The Magis: trate,” are in course of preparation. Lewis Morrison comes later to appear as stock star in “The Victim of Cir- cumstances,” “Frederick the Great” and his old stand-by. “Faust.” Olympia. The sensational feature of the new bill at the Olympia Music Hall will be a series of moving pictures by the bio- graph, the same being scenes in and about Havana. Within four days after the Maine disaster was known to the | world the owners of the biograph had a tug on the spot fully equipped for taking moving pictures for the bio- graph. “Ghutes. The Chutes management, after weeks of preparation, will present a series of living pictures to-morrow. The para- phernalia for the production is said to be as complete as was ever brought to San Francisco, the giris who will pose have been carefully called from the local studios, and the pictures to be presented are by Renault, Peroni, Becker, Thuman and other masters. The free theater offers a big list of variety attractions. Mnsical Notes. William Armstrong of the Chicago Trlbune, and one of the foremost mu- sic critics of America, who is now here on a flying . arranging for a series of lectures to be given next season and incidentally lecturing at the Stanford University and in Oakland, pays the following tribute to Fritz Scheel through Alex T. Stewart's music col- umn in the Oakland Enquirer: The orchestra that played in Oakland last night was not, it seems, the regular symphony orclestra. But with Fritz Scheel at its head, it is one that may ba listened to with pleasure. Five years ago, with his Hamburg orchestra, Mr. Scheel made a fine impression in Chi< cago. To listen to his readings last night was a renewed pleasure. The man is so thoroughly musical; he has so much tem- perament. To hold together the forces that he conducted last night and to get the effects that he did must arouse in- creased regard. With an organization of men engaged exclusively for concert work, playing only under one conductor, | musical results are far easier to obtain, but Mr. Scheel obtains these musical re- sults under adverse circumstances, and in_that very point he proves his worth. In summing up_the situation, indeed, a long search would be necessary to find a man so well fitted for the present work as Mr. Scheel. » * * It is_a pleasant thing to congratulate San Francisco on its symphony orchestra, and both Oak- land and that city in its claim upon so valuable a conductor. Mr. Armstrong will lecture in Oak- land on Monday evening at the Uni- tarian Church, his subject being “Un- published Interviews With Great Mu- sicians.” The lecture will be supple- mented with a short vocal and instru- mental programme, largely made up of | American composers and _interpreted by Alex T. Stewart, John Metcalf and Mrs. Alfred Abbey. The Kneisel Quartet of Boston, com- posed of Franz Kneisel, first violin; Otto Roth, second violin; Lovis Svecen- ski, viola, and Alwin Schroeder, ’'cello, ® will give three chamber concerts at Sherman & Clay Hall on Monday and Wednesday evenings, May 16 and 18, and Saturday afternoon, May 21. The fame of the Kneisels is world-wide and their concerts here promise to make a record in local musical his- tory. The twelfth and final concert of the present season of the Symphony So- ciety takes place on Thursday next, at 3:15 at the Tivoli. A magnificent pro- gramme has been arranged as a fitting close of the most successful symphony season ever given in this city. The nov- elty will be the first performance in this city of the symphony “Harold in Italy,” by that master of orchestration, Hector Berlioz. This symphony was written at the instigation of Paganini, who desired a composition in which to show his skill on the beautiful but rare instrument for soloists, the viola, or alto. The part of Harold in this work is taken by the solo viola and | Bernat Jaulus has been selected for the task. The symphony is in four parts. Another notable work on the pro- gramme is Tschaikowsky's serenade for strings. The “Kaliser March” by Wag- ner, and Weber's “Jubel” overture, which closes with the hymn that we Americans call “America,” will end and commence the concert. James A.‘Keano. a young actor of this city, who more than once has fig- ured prominently in local amateur per- formances, is now a member of James O'Neill's company. The Portland crit- ics are enthusiastic in praise of his conception of Albert (Mercedes’ son) in “Monte Cristo,” the critic of the Ore- gonian saying that the part could hardly be better played by any one.
