THE SAN FRAN "ISCO . CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 10, 1898. 29 original production. The lines of the com- edy are bright and the action is rapid. Act one tells of a newly married man, whose wife is out of town, receiving a call from a former flame. His wife re- turns a day earlier than he had expected her (he was lost twenty-four hours in sleeping off the effects of a spree), and she comes in just as his old-time girl is kissing him. He introduces her to his wife as his sister. scenes by his party to his fast trouble is averted by a cleverly worked out scheme handled by the husband. As already stated, Miss Bouton will be seen in her original creation of the adventur- ess, Miss Dacre, and one of the leading Eastern papers sald of her performance: “Her's was a well sustained character performance, played throughout with a reserve force which unmistakably be- spoke a woman of true genius. She has remarkably expressive features and va- rying emotions play over them with fine | discrimination.” morrow _night will Alfred Hickman, | Payne, David Conger Lucille La Verne, Maude Winter, Cora | Tinnie and Edward G. Conw The play | will be given a careful staging, and from | all accounts a most interesting I'will result. 1_ I TIVOL1. | [uu“’ ! Edward M.

It was an . 2 ehicle for the tion of Robert Hilliard as a star, an oportunity to The Alcazar. The successful run of “Frederick the Great” at the Alcazar will close to-night and will be remembered as an instructive bit of history, ably presented and embel- lished with scenic and general magnifi- cence. To-morrow night the public wilt have the first opportunity in eight years to see Mr. Morrison in his created role of Mephisto in “Faust,” and Miss Flor- ence Roberts for the first time in the character of Marguerite. Eastern critics have been lavish in praising her acting in this part and regard her rendition of it equal, if not superior, to the work ot Ellen Terry in that role.

In Germany, and even in France, its presentation means a full house. In the fatherland it stands as does Hamlet with the Anglo-Saxon, a drama treating some of the severest problems of life in a striking and ac- ceptable form, not the simple arrange. ment of the Germans, which would not be appropriate here, but it is sufficiently close to the original. Morrison’s concep- tion of Mephisto’s satanic character is brilliant, virile and impressive and in the part he has no peer on the English stage. The cast follows: Mephisto (immortal), Lewis Morrison; Sycoraz (witch), Miss Avon; Zendoe witch), Miss Cleary; Faust (mortal), Frank Denithorn; Valentine, Marguerite's brother (mortal), George Foster Platt; | Siebel (mortal), Howard Scott; Wagner | (mortal), Charles Bryant; Altmeyer (mortal), Fred Halifax; Brander (mortal), Frank Steward; Frosch (mortal), Frank Warner; Martha, Mrs. F.

A good chorus and an eflicient orchestra, with new scenery and correct costumes, will add to the many attractions of “Fatinitza,” which is one of the prettiest, most melo- dious and interesting of all German com- sitions.

It is claimed by the Eastern press that Miss Florence Roberts gives a more per- fect rendition of the death of Marguerite, in “Faust,” than Ellen Terry. Louis Honig has completed the second act of “Round About” for the Tivoli. George E. Lask has all the designs for scenery, costumes and accessories ready. Poor Lillian Russell will probably have to look around for husband number five or will it be six? Her last experiment Signor Perugini, has applied for a di vorce. | The last performance of Brigadier Gen- eral Charles King’s great military drama, “Fort Frayne,” will be given by the Frawley company at the Columbia Thea- ter to-night. One of the divers employed in explor- ing the wreck of the Maine is now in a | Boston museum, where he shows pictures of the warship, and tells what he saw of her under the water. The London admirers of R. G. Knowles are having spasms over this “Four hundred years ago Sps ed America, and now they are — sorry they took the trouble.” “A Gallant Surrender” calls for an act- ing cast of over twenty. One of the lead- ing roles is that of the girl Jess, a char- acter not unlike the Madge of “In Old Kentucky,” or “Sue,” by Bret Harte. The grand opera season of the Tivoli will open about the middle of August and continue over eight weeks. The artists, scores and orchestrations of the new op- eras will all arrive the latter part of this month. An early production by the Frawley company at the Columbia Theater is to be John Drew’s immense comedy success, “The Masked Ball.” “Liberty Hall,” the brilliant Empire Theater success, is also in rehearsal. \ On Monday night Cora Tinnie will make her reappearance with the Frawley Com- pany, having been out of the cast of “Fort Frayne” for the past twe weeks. She is to present the lively Susan in “Lost—24 Hour: One of the striking scenes of “A Gallant Surrender” is at the close of the third act, where the Federals make a rally on the flag, forming a circle about it and the hero, 8o as to protect him from the com- ing onslaught of the enemy. It is said to make a great picture. Madeline Bouton will appear In her original creation of Miss Dacre in the Frawley Company’s production of “Lost— 24 Hours,” at the Columbia_Theater next Monday evening. This is the role which Miss Bouton played with Robert Hilliard's company for over three seasons. | San Franciscans can now breathe easier. | The coming McCoy-Choynski fight at Buf- falo is to be photographed on an Edison moving picture machine, and will be ex- hibited simultaneously at eight different cities, *including N York, Boston, New | Orleans, San Francisco and Chicago. An attempt will be made to utilize the moving photograph in a forthcoming war drama called “Chattanooga.” A full-sized locomotive will be operated in the center | of the stage, but it will stand still, while seemingly speed will be imparted to it by means of panoramic views thrown upon | a screen at the back. The pictures for that purpose have heen taken from the rear of a railway train. The trial of this device is to be made in Chicago. Nat C. Goodwin and Mrs. Goodwin (Maxine Elliott) are enjoying life in ‘he suburbs of London at Jackwood-on-ta Thame: Mr. Goodwin own: n estate of four acres in one of the most beautiful suburbs of the English metropolis. His next season will not o until late in October, with Clyde F historical play, “Nathan Hale,” never been done in New York. is Mr. Goodwin's first pretentious effort in seri- ous work. A foreign correspondent says that Ta- | magno, the singer, has gone to Buenos Ayres, where he will make forty appear- ances. For his services he will recei $100,000, besides all the expenses of him- self and retinue. It is sald that Tamango has not read a criticism of his singing in many years, and that he cares noth- ing for any opinion of or tribute to him except those volunteered by Kings and others high and mighty who enjoy h | work. Of such as Tamango is the king- dom of music. San Francisco and the Pacific Coast are to have a number of high grade attrac- | tions this fall judging from the bookings, | says the Dramatic News. Charles Froh- man has contracted to present there Wil- liam Gillette' in Secret Service, Henry Miller and_Maude Adams. These three | strong cards are merely the beginning of | a fine list to follow. Manager Frohman is sure the western country will heartily” re- | ceive these three stars and with extended | engagements in San Francisco, the pros- pects are very bright. Blind Tom, whose musical gift was wonderful, but whose mind was scarcely | above idiocy, disappeared from the show | business several years ago. He was un- der and control of the family which had owned him in slavery days, and there was |a lawsuit over the property which had been accumulated from his conéerts. He is now recalled to mind by the fact that | the Christian Adventists at Rochester have ordained him a preacher. He | gone into revivalism, and intersperses his | exhortations with piano playing. | The public is about to face the Inevi- table in the shape of another prize- | fighter play. It will be a conglomerate, including “Ned” Harrigan, the delectable Martin Julian and Bob Fitzsimmons. They will perpetrate the long-forgotten “Mulligan Guards' Ball.” “Fitz” will do | the scrapping act, in an endeavor to ele- | vate the stage and avoid meeting Mr. Corbett. In this laudable, Christjan e vating act he will have a rival in Yhe per- son of Eddie Bald, the bicycle champion, | who is to star in a play in which a realis- | tic bicycle race will be the principal | feature. cir AMUSEMENTS.
