Although “The Coast Guard” during the past week, together with the attrac- tive specialty of the Waterman sisters and the initial performance of Miss Maud Miller, has drawn crowded houses at Mo- rosco’s, the play will be withdrawn to make way for the reopening of that pop- ular actor James M. Brophy in “Trilby.” When the young California actor termi- nated his recent starring engagement he did not contemplate playing in this city again for some time. Manager Morosco, however, having in view a grand opera season in March, the remodeling of the | Grand Opera-house and a general change | of policy, desired to strengthen his stock company for the remainder of the pres- | ent season. Before taking his vacation | Mr. Brophy was consequently induced to accept an engagement as stock star of the company. He believes that his con- ception of the character of Svengali w'll | compare favorably with that of Mr. Lackaye, Mr. Roberts or Beerbohm Tree, | and will follow closely the lines laid down | by Mr. Du Maurler as to the make-up and characterization of the hypnotic mu- siclan. The entire company and several extra people are in the cast. The Tivoli. The production of Gol.mark's “Queen of Sheba” is one of the most creditable | ever given at the Tivoll. The difficulties | of casting and staging an opera of | thi s character are exceptional, and the Tivoli deserves all the profit that | follows its enterprise. The work is an fmportant one, and until now has been unknown to most of the music-lovers ere. “The Queen of Sheba” will be repeated Tuesday and Friday. Monday, Thursday | and Sunday and.the Saturday matinee | will be given over to Gounod’s “Romeo | and Juliet,” another standard opera that | was introduced to San Francisco by the | Tivoli. Miss Lichter will be Jullet and | Edgardo Zerni, the Romeo. | On Wednesday and Saturday evenings | “Trovatore” will be sung. The Orpheum. The Orpheum’s new bill has another act by a company of graduates from the legitimate stage. Mr. and Mrs. R. J. | Dustin, late of the Lyceum Theater stock company, will appear in a one-act com- edy, entitled, “The Man Up Stairs,” writ- ten by Augustus Thomas. This little cur- tain-raiser recently scored a success in the Madison Square Theater. Mr. and Mrs. Dustin are supported by Cecil Mag- | nus, Miss J. Connor and Miss Maggie | Weston, making a company of five in all. | Another artistic turn s claimed in the | Anglo-American Quartet, who will appear | in a military sketch entitled “In Camp.” | Other new features are Lew Hawkins, the | monologist, whose name is already | familiar to Orpheum patrons, with a new | budget of songs and witticisms, and the | Sankey Bros., whose feats In equipoise | are claimed to be marvelous. Mlle. Jeanne | Franko, the violin virtuoso, who has been so well received and Miss Bessie Bonehlll and Louls Cazeau, the sleight- o%—hand man, will have new things offer. The Alhambra. This is the last week of Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Drew at the Alhambra, where | they are appearing in an amusing’ traves- | ty called “Diana on the Chase.” Among the new people who are to appear to- | morrow night are the Four Olifans, who | have a wide regu(atlon as grotesque acro- | bats. Ford and Lewis, eccentric comedi- | ans, who do a turn named “The Bowery | Boys,” are also new and reputed to be very clever. Corinne celebrates her fare- well week in new songs and mandolin solos.

He found that the theater had lost all inte::ct in the classical drama of the country, and the Espagnol, an institution analogous to the Francais, closed its doors several years ago because it could obtain suDPnrl neith- er from the state nor the public. That “the coon song must go’” was one of the most positive and cheerful asser- tions of the wiseacres in stageland a few weeks ago, writes Acton Davies in the Evening Sun. They gave reasons, sub- mitted ‘‘signs of the times” in evidence and cast both aspersions and gloom over the Honeys, the Lous, the Bullies and the other coons of recent song and story. The coon song has zone, but not after the manner foretold. It has gone on its way rejoicing, and the public appears to be with it still. There is a new “Dinah” at the Broadway Music Hall, along with a new “Emmaline.” The newest Hoyt farce carries a ‘‘Rabbit's Foot” song. The following criticism of Olga Nether- sole In “The Termagant” is by the critic of the London Daily Mail,. and notes many points in common with San Fran- cisco’s opinion of Nance O'Neil's acting. ““Miss Nethersole has a vitality which is really wonderful—a force there is no gain- saying; and even the feast of manner- isms and tricks she sets before us—even the closed eyelids which denote passion, and the reverberating groans which in- dicate despair—the all-too-mechanical method she shows us—cannot hide the cleverness, the abandon, the flexibility of her acting. If she would only restrain her exuberance—if she would only hold herself in—though she would seldom touch our hearts, she would carry us. away with her by the very force of her personality. She is a powerful and ac- complished actress, but she has not yet arrived at the art concealed. Anna Held threatens to visit us again this season in a new French comedy. An interesting experiment will be thé substitution of Blanche Walsh for Fanny Davenport in several Sardou plays. Miss Davenport has paid a handsome fortune in royalties for the right to produce Sardou’s dramas, and she sees a po: bility of profit in sending out an actress who_is now in looks nad manner very much like the Fanny Davenport of twen- ty years ago. David Belasco is back from Europe and announces that his latest play is yet un- named. No definite plans have been made for it by the playwright until af- ter the public sees “Zara,” in which Mrs. Carter will make her r'entree on the American stage. The play is by Berton and Simon. An interesting experiment is making at the Dagmar Theater in Copenhagen. A series of gratuitous Sunday perform- ances was begun September 4 for the pur- pose of enabling the working classes who cannot pay for their places to study the dramatic_literature not only of De mark and of to-day, but that of all coun- tries and all periods. The first play was Ibsen’s “Brand,” the next Moliere's “Malade Imaginaire,’ and Theodore de Banville's “Gringoire.” Tbsen is writing a new play for Agnes Sorma, his most distinguished exponent, and she will play it in this country under the Heinrich Conried management. Mr. and Mrs. Kendal are back in Lon- don now, occupying the St. James The- ater, which they used to manage in pari- nership with John Hare. It is more than ten years now since that rosperons term of management was ended. The Kendals are appearing in a play called “The Elder Miss %osaom‘” in which Mrs. Kendal im- ersonates a becomingly gowned maid of 9 years. That, she says, is the age she refers to think of as Miss Blossom's. ‘hey will remain at the St. James until Chrl‘;tmas, when Alexander and his com- pany will return.
