THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 22, 1898 27 PPPPOPPOPPPVOVPOVPPPOPPVPPOVPPPVPPPVPPPPPOOOOPOOOIOPOIOS F you wish to retain your interest in the drama these days in San Francisco you must become a mu- sic lover. This doesn’t sound very sensible, but, like some otherthings not sensible, it's true. Tra nose is out of joint and Comed ve taken a pitiful downward @roop. 're both jealous of Melody, and ; have good reason to be. he programmes of five out of the 1t places of amusement in town are turated with music. The best ater in town offers music as its attraction. The best entertain- ad, outside of this, is also c at the Baldwin; music ment to be Mu musie. the star feature at the Orpheum; mu- | at the Tivoli, of course; music at rman & Clay's Hall, equally of urse. And at the California—though t's a long step from Franz Kneisel to an Polk—there are still people in the world who contend that the banjo is a musical instrument. Though this is a culminating week Melody's honor, it is not a sudden h. Much of the charm of Pilar- tri Morin's pantomime was due to the sical accompaniment. The “Passion ay” requires Mrs. Morrissey’sstrong, mpathetic soprano and the notes of e organ to heighten its artistic ef- And one of the largest and most enthusiastic crowds of amusement- seekers seen in San Francisco lately was gathered to testify musical fealty to Fritz Scheel last week. Ysaye, Gerardy, Lachaume, Remen- ¥1, Marino, the Kneisel quartet and Scheel—Melba too & short time since and the Henschels not so long ago— are Music's knights. And Drama? Who is there to wear her colors in the amusement tournament? Where's the theatrical star to rival Ysaye? Who'll break a lance with Gerardy?

But the merct rs for sale only th goes to the other extreme, source of income and lim ct the st as people have been found to profitable the advent of good sical attractions, so will patronage for the better quality of dramatic en- tertainment be forthcoming. If any theater in town be patient enough and shrewd enough to make for itself a rep utation to gently woo back to ¢ ramatic enjoyment the people who have desert- ed the theaters, because there was nothing to tempt them there, Tragedy may yet Iift up her head and Comedy smile again. Our f{solated position makes theatrical re-enforcement from the East a precarious hope. The stage should take a lesson from Melody’s suc- cess, and patiently, perseveringiy build up as she has done. This is bound to come. It’s the one solution to the the- atrical problem In San Francisco, and the demand will in time force a supply. The presentation of “The Poster” to. morrow evening at the Tivoli is the event of the day in theatrical affairs, that the | be only of a day, should the| Jle prophecies be unfulfilled.

Manager Frawley and the members of his new company will arrive here in a few days to begin rehearsing for their first appearance in San_Francisco, in Sothern’s success, ‘““An Enemy to the King,” on Monday, June 13. Mary Elizabeth Lease, who helped to defeat John J. Ingalls in 18% for the Sen- atorship, will lecture just once in San Francisco, on Thursday evening next. Her subject is “Signs of the Times.” Of this lecture the Review of Reviews says: “If any man would know the manner of the woman reformer who hails from the broad plains of temperance and human- ity-loving, sunny Kansas, let him read Mrs. Lease's speech at Washington. If | the reader is not thrilled by the throb- | bing eloquence and rhetorical beauty, as well as by the moral intensity of that ad- dress, he m: never hope to be moved by noble speech.” The Passion Play will be given but three more representations here—this af- ternoon, Monday afternoon and Monday night—the first time it has been produced here in the evening. The Paldwin closes for the summer after this week. Dan Polk, the banjoist, with Hopkins Trans-Oceanic Vaudevilles, was at one time a leading spirit in some of our local clubs. He is a brother of Willis Polk. Ysaye will, it is stated, have an orches- tra of his own in one of the Eastern cities. \ The last performance of Pilar Morin will be given at the Baldwin Theater to- night. The programme includes the two antomimes “In Old Japan” and “A Dresden Shepherdess.”” Thomas Kierns, wel nown in this city, has returned here for his vacation, after an absence of three years. He left with the Dixey organization, and since then has become a very valuable member of 3. E. Rice's company. He played the Frenchman in_the New York production of “The Girl From Paris.” Forbes Robertson, who played King Henry to Irving’s Becket here, has made | his first appearance as Macbeth and as Hamlet in Dublin. “The Pride of Jennico” is to be drama- tized. 515 “The Little Minister,” with Maude Adams as Babbie, has run 2350 nights in New York. Irving will probably come to America again next winter. Ffolliott Pages is to play Mrs. Mala- prop in Joe Jefferson’s revival of “The Rivals” next season. Wilton Lackaye will play Sir Lucius O'Trigger. Over 60 per cent of the managers and actors appealed to by the president of the Actors’ Fund have agreed not to ap- pear at any benefit or give any beneflt unless the fund receives 12}, per cent of the gross receipts. The list of mana- gers is led by Al Hayman. Chicago will have no fewer than six stock companies before the season closes.
