She became excited and hysterical, and said it was none of his business. He then asked her what she s doing out so late talking to men on the street.

A grand display of fireworks is to be given at the Chutes on the evening of the « < «“THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE?” SOME VERY EFFECTIVE HE woman with a past, of whom we have heard so much of late, is the main subject of Carton’s five-act drama, “Tke Tree of Knowledge,” presented last night at the Columbia The- | ater. The author has thrown no new light upon this trite subject, the possibilities of which have been almost exhausted by Dumas fils and Pinero, but he has, by | skillful rearrangement of old material, | succeeded in writing two or three scenes that are theatrically effective and that give far better opportunities to Mr. Mil- { ler's company than did the farce last week. In “The Second Mrs. Tanqueray” the hero (if so he may be called) knowingly marries a courtesan; in Carton’s play he unknowingly does the same. This woman had been the mistress of the hero's friend. She soon tires of her husband, and at- tempts to run away with a third man. | The friend threatens to kil her if she does o, acting on the somewhat odd pre- sumption that the hero’s honor will be Saved by his continuing to live with Wife whom he has good reason to believe unfaithful. Despite the friend’s attempt the lady succeeds in running away with the third man, and the hero—well, he drops out of sight altogether in the last act, leaving us to conjecture only that he lived a sadder and a wiser man. This main plot is illfitted to a minor wherein the friend professes him- Self unable in the first act to marry the Zirl he now loves, but finds himself quite able to do so in the fifth act. Yet his re- lation to her has remained absolutely un- changed throughout the play We have also the old mechanical device of the repeated overheard conversation. Whereby the villain is to be baffled, and the usual comic relief of the old man in love with the ingenue. The exposition of the first act is unnecessarily long, as is also the resolution of the fifth act. A Play that tells so threadbare a story as this should not be allowed to detain an audience in the theater until a quarter before twelve. . presented i said, contalns some strong scenes, notably that in the third act between Brian (Mr. Miller and Nigil (Mr. Morgan), and that in the fourth act between Belle (ML | Martinot) and Nigil. Miss Martinot acting was a_delight to behold; | bined_ ease with strength, clearnes: | rapidity. Mr. Morgan, whose reappear- ance was loudly welcomed, played with that absolute sincerity which ' is his strong- est feature: Mr. Worthing, as a blase man of the world, and Mr. Findlay, as a comie ardener, were capital in their respective ines; Mr. Miller, who was In much bet- ter voice than last week, generously sank himself In a subordinate part that gave him but one good opportunity, but that he improved rarely. But Miss Anglin was the surprise of the evening. This is the first time to my remembrance that she has ever played an ingenue part in San Francisco; she certainly did it with in- effable sweetness and .grace. If I have ever thought or said that she was good only in hard, brilliant characters, T take it back. L. DU PONT SYLE. Grand Opera-House. Last night the new Frawleys made their first appearance at the Grand Opera-house in the much-talked of “Children of the Ghetto,”” dramatized from the book by its author, Israel Zangwill. “The Children of the Ghetto” is a good book, all but a great book. The play, with the excention of the third act, is poor, and perhaps that is the fault of the dramatist. In every act but the afore- mentioned third the brand of the novice is Toughly apparent. The first is complete in itself, the curtain falling upon a happy ending that might fittingly have closed a one-act play, leaving no element of sus- pense or expectation to prolong the inter- est. The action is too compressed, the situation unconvincing. It is found that a mock marriage, made in jest between the daughter of “Reb” Shemuel and the betrothed of her friend, is binding “by the laws of Moses.” At the discovery there is expressed nel- ther sufficient sense of the seriousness of the situation nor, if taken from the other standpoint, of its absurdity: and the di- Yorce-while-you-wait has the same nei- ther serious nor comic aspect. The sec- ond act were better cut out altogether but for a charming little love scene be- tween Miss Morrison—Hannah Jacobs— and Henry Roberts—David Brandon. Its situations are,of the kind contrived in the Ark, where the animals went in two by two, each doing its characteristic song and dance—a vaudeville show in minia- ture. But the third act redeems the play, Reo Shemuel discovers that by the perennial ‘law of Moses' his daughter may not marry the man she loves because he is a priest of Aaron, and the scene between the three, Wilson Lackaye, Rosabel Mor- rison and Harry Roberts, is one of much power and keen human interest. The last act is only fairly good; It leaves behind an fmpression of patchwork.

Her mimicry Is without apparent effort; it flows naturally like water down hill, and it compels laughter and admiration. While her French has the true Paris Exposition flavor her Irish brogue is redolent as the turf of Conne- mara when it burns on th rth under the pot of mealies. She is well supported by Clayton White, who displays his ver- atility in the dissimilar roles of the sporty husbz and the professor of Physical culture.
