CAFE ROVAL SINTUASTCE BY BLANCHE R. GRAU'S intent to return some time during the next year season is now a settled event in the musical history of the future of San Francisco. As to time, the artists of the com- season, the repertoire—of course, de- pendent vpon the artists—Mr. Grau is yet unable to give any definite information, but the famous Impresario gave me a few notes of interest the other day as to prob- abilitles. Mr. Grau expresses a considerable con- tentment with his reception out West, without any surprise, however, at its warmth, and with a pardonable sense of its being the well-earned result of effort expe: ded in his productions. it is a great pleasure to be able to give such performances,” he sald the other day, ‘and pleasant also, to feel that (he effo) rt .:ll"d !n the hearty narizable feature of the season but I must not boast, there Is still left—is that in & serles of twenty-four performances we have only had to change the programme, and that only in one »l\ghl,pm\iculn; A most and Mr. Grau sighed as if he might have troubles of his own, with amusing evidence of memories of sneezing Brunnhildes, sulky Jullets, rebellious Lu- clas, and the prima donna In dll her fas- cinating, capricious varlety. “Delightful day!” he said next, looking toward the windows through which the sun was pouring in its warm November brilliance, and wishing, evidently, that with his singers he could carry back to “One rem so0 {z New York some of the sunshine which had made possible the uninterrupted pro- gramme of San Francisco’s season. He was sitting at a small, plain writing-table in his rooms at the Palace Hotel, talking to the incessant tick-tick of a typewsiter in tHe next apartment, and with a divided scattered teiegrams, un- and correspondence of all table was adorned. a playbill with the ‘Carmen,” in ate E ted mqulr}‘ as tfl the rumnred Calve engagement of next year, and her romantic pilgrimage to India in search of health. “It is true,” sald Mr. Grau, “that Calve does not sing this year, also that when I | left her in Paris immediately before com- ing here she was contemplating a pleasure trip to Egypt. As to anything further Eastern pligrimages and the, like—I kno nothing. But in all human probabili Calve will be with us next year and giv you that Carmen which—weil, I think you will like it.” Which, from the emphatical- 1y unenthusfastic“Mr. Grau, means an un- limited much. “We have had a Carmen here—Collama- rint,” T suggested. “Yes, T was at your little opera-house the first evening of my arrival,’™ Iy replied Mr. Grau. “We liked her,” I ventured again, “Yes “And we discreet- think 1 | formance of equal value for the prices anywhere " heartily rejoined the impre- sario. “And their unbroken programme of twenty-three went Wenty-one years almost we have I corrected. unique.” he continued. been round there quite fre- . quent! no.

The ‘Ring’ appre- clation is perhaps surprising from its dll- flculty of ? mprehension on first hearing.” ‘How does the occasional adverse criti- | clsm of your Wesiern Critics stuke you?’ “‘Every man has a right to his opinion,” and Mr. Grau here smiled a little, as it there were in rese: some opinions con- cerning opinions. *“‘But all I ask is sim- cerity. If San Francisco is, on the whole, as well pleased with us as we are with San Francisco—and from the few people I see 1 gather that she is—there is little to complain of on either side.” “We had hoped to bear ‘Tristan’ and the ‘Meistersingers’ this time.” ““You will provably have thouse and other things next time,” and Mr. Grau, with an interested giance at his correspondence and another at the sunlight flooding the room, commented again on the “beautiful a; an you not say as to time of the 1ext visit?” 1 asked. ‘‘September—October?’ “Too early, I think,” he replied. “You may most likely expect us about the same ttme next yzar.” And I, with a saving rememburance of the appealing correspond- enc:, took my leage. In the Grau company are many singers who have made no appearances at all here, Pini-Corsi among inem, and others d only smallest opportunity inelr capabilities, Suzanne Adams, wno sings to-night in “Rigoletto,” < au artist whose measure we of tae West bave hardly had a chance to take, her only appearance so far being as Margue- rite de Valois in “The Huguenots.” Jliss Adams is not the only aisungnished mem- ber of her family, by the way. Her hus- vahd, Leo Stern, is a cellist of wide repu- tation. He is here with Mrs. Stern for the season, and In other places included in the Grau itinerary will make a public appear- ance. At. St. Louis he plays with the symphony orchestra, and 1t seems a_pity that here in San Francisco we should not have had opportunity of hearing him and the famous “‘General Kydad"” cello which the artist is fortunate enough to possess. Mr. Stern owns one of the most beauti- the old ‘Cremonese genius.. The instru- ment has a picturesque and romantic his- | tory. Its first owner, fully conscious o: the beauty and worth of Stradivartus work, handled it with extremest care dur- ing his lifetime and then left it with scrupulous charge concerning its welfare to his heirs. In their keeping, in the isl- and of Corfu, the cello lay umouched for a 1ull hundred years, and finally bi joint gift from admiring friends, has reached the hands of this dlsunguhhed young artist in perfect condition. Mr. Stern is a pupll of the celebrated Piattf, and has done much in the first introduc- tion of the later classics for the cello of Tschaikowsky and Dvorak and others into American concert rooms. He has also a sufficient knowledge of the plano and plays much for his talented wife. Campanari, whose excellent barytone has given such pleasure here, is also a cellist of note, and also plays very well on the plano. Mr. Stern accompanies hix cello work, then Campanarl will play for him. There is talent to burn among the Grau people. . They tell many stories of the barytone- cellist-pianist Campanari; of his large in- | difference to his physical surroundings, for one thing. He was asked if he had been to see Chinatown here, but replied | that he did not see why he should, as he could ¥et the photographs for 50 cents! There has been some gossip to the effect that Mr. Campanari's brother, a distin- guished and well known conductor both in London and Milan, may possibly come out here for a short season in the pear future Local m c, with the ending of the opera season, is beginning to look u again. A Schumann piano recital by Wii- liam Piutti at Century Club Hall on the afterncon of December 6 and another ap- pearance of little Paloma Schramm on Tuesday evening under the auspices of the Loyal Rebekah Lodge, 1. O. O. F., will be the week’s programme. LR A coming dramatic recital that is at- tracting an unusual amount of attention is the third and last in the series given by Mrs. Louise Humphrey-Smith, which wiil take place at Century Hall next Thursday evening. Mrs. Smith has for her subject Stephen Phillips’ *Paclo and Francesca,’” the tragedy wl lch has attracted such at- tention equally from literati and play- wrigh! the reciter's well-known ability insures a thoughtful and clever in- terpretation of this most beautiful of mod- ern plays. @il ielfrierleloloferls oottt dejuinlo@ PANAMA ROAD 15 FORCED OUT BY PACIFIC MAIL LR A The Railro d Company Is Refused Renewal of Its ) € Contract. R From reliable sources It was learned vesterday that the Panama Railroad Company is not at all anxious to put on an independent steamship service between this city and Panama, but is compelled to do so by the action of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company in peremptorily re- fusing to enter into another contract with the Panama people. It is asserted that the Panama company has been and still is willing to accept almost any terms the Pacific Mail is willing to allow it. It 1s further claimed that the Panama Rail- road has not refused to give the Pacific Mail the exclusive right to carry the freight passing over the isthmus. If " the contract with any other steamship com- ran) for handling its coastwise business | would do so, but in its failure to ar- range such a contract leaves it in a posi- tion ®here {t must charter its own steamers. To this end the company Is now working, and a second steamer was chartered yesterday through the Panama company’s Pacific Coast agent, F. F. Con- nor. The name of the vessel is not given, been under option for several days. The reason why the Panama company has been unable to get any other steam- ship line to handle its Pacific Coast busi- ness is not due to the scarcity of foreign companies which would like to succeed the Pacific Mafl. The trouble lies in the i fact that the United States law will not permit the handling of coastwise trade except in merican bottoms. Why the Pacifie Mail has so stoutly de- clined to extend its contra~t with the Pan- ama people after December 18 is a ques- tion which seems to be open to more than one explanation. The action of the Pa- cific Mail, coming as it does so soon after the Southern Pacific secured a controlling interest In the company, has led man to believe that by a combination whlc% will now be possible between the railroad and the steamboat companies, the stock- holders hope to eventually freeze out the Panama company on this coast. One advantage such ' a combination would have over the Panama would be more prompt delivery, it is claimed. The combined companies” will be able to run steamships into Guaymas, on the Gulf of California, and there transfer freight to the Sonora Rallroad, which is controlled by the Southern Padific. From this line the freight would be sent over the Souts: ern Pacific to Galveston, whence it would fie taken to New York by the Morgan ne. F. F. Connor, the Panama company’ local agent, admitted vesterday that company was not chartering steamers bes cause it wanted to, although he preferred that an official announcement to that ef- fect should come from the New York office. ““We were really forced into this” he aald, “as the Pacific Mall Was not -poud to renew its contract with us, and | there are no other Am ltrom which we could transportation,’ ful Stradivarius celll ever turned out by | but it is said to be one of two that have | arlun compun-l | | | hour.
