Richard Jose Ferrer, THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1901 SEMBRICH SINGS IN “BARBER OF SEVILLE” TO AN AUDIENCE THAT FILLS OPERA-HOUSE Listeners and Sihgérs Are En Rapport From First to Last and From Enthu- siasm of the Crowd It Is Evident That San Francisco Has Decided to Accept Cor dially the Diva and Her Excellent Company of Artists P T was like the Grau days over again at the Grand Opera-house last night, with the Sembrich Opera Company in “The Barber of Seville” for pro- gramme. The house was ideal from the box office standpoint and immediately sympathetic. Audfence and singers were en rapport from the first note to the last and the merry old opera was thus heard under unugually bhappy conditions. It was indeed an unwontedly enthusiastic crowd, pleased with everything, from the Sembrich warblings to the artless comedy that delighted its ancestors in the long ago. San Francisco has evidently decided :cept Mme. Sembrich and all that is and the town gave her hands and heart last night in a fashion very foreign to the usual first-night audience of the Athens of the Pacific. And it is not so wonderful after all. The star herself is a fascinating personality, gloriously voiced, and with a very sufficlent dramatic sense. Her support is much above the average setting of an operatic star and her audience was very well educated in all that a good little audience should know, by Mr. Grau, some three or four month ago. Voila tout! embrich is delightful. That she was able to hold her own against the splendid memories of Melba and the comparisons instituted by the old-timers between her and Patti denotes no mean triumph for this latest of the great sopranos to gome among us. A rich, warm, full-bloodeq voice ~she has; exquisitely sympathetic and fiexible and used with the finest in- teuigence. It has not the absolute purity and pellucid quality of Melba's voice, but color” and velvety richness perhaps fully compensate. Her Rosina is a charming conception, blithe and coquet- tish, and she almost persuades to a belief in the inherent vitality of the part. In the famous “singing lesson” the sponiane- ous applause of the evening reached fits height. As an encore the singer gave the “Sonnambula” rondo, then an altogether charming rendering ' of “The Maiden's Wish” of Chopin. The latter song was given *in Polish, and Mme. Sembrich plaved her own accompaniment in de- lightfully artistic fashion. This naturally drew ano(\r encore. to which she re- sponded with a little German lied of Ries, The Figaro of the evening, Signor Ben- saude, was adequate, but not astonishing, neither extraordinary from the vocal nor dramatic standpoini. His voice is pleas- Signor the Almaviva, has a Lara, who did tone, but not always true to pitch. Signor Rossi an excellent Bartolo, droll and fatuously self-satisfied as the Gil Blas figure of the guardian is meant to be and voeally satisfactory. The basso, Signor Dado; wha In spite of his name is very much more than a wallliower, has an ad- mirable voice, big, round and impressive, and he was fully allve to all the comedy possibilities of his part. The chorus, of which of course only the male contingent w represented last evening, has a satisiying volume of voice, but was rot always raythmically “‘there.” The orchestra was cleverly handled by Signor Bevignani, but was a little too loud In places, more especlally in the strings. Lo-morrow evening “La Trav- fata” will be given, with Mme. Sembrich as Violetta. BLANCHE PARTINGTON. MUSIC LOVERS CROWD HOUSE. Prilliant Beprel!nt_nt‘lve Audienee Welcomes Madame Sembrich. Sembrich made her bow last evening to a house well filled with a representative avdience.

Currier, a de- signer and i{llustrator, with a stugio at 7Pl 36 Geary street. Jackson is charged with o= an attempt at extortion. Jackson gave bail in the sum of $500 in Judge Fritz's department of the Pulice Court. Diffiéulties between Currier and his Ai- vorced wife, Eunice, who occuples t same dwelling with Jackson In Alamed~ BENSAUDE, ~_Tn — THREE OF THE STARS OF THE SEMBRICH GRAND OPERA COM- PANY. are primarily responsible for the threaten ing letter which Jackson admits having mailed to Currier on February % last. The letter written by Jackson to ( rier, which forms tha basis of the present complaint, is as follows "'L » and “The Tempest," beauty and grace, ““The Highwayman' was well sung. Ed- | mund Stanley in the leading role, Captain | Scarlet, sang admirably. H. W. Tre De- nick as Foxy Quiller, a Bow street consta- ble, is a rarely clever comedian, and the | same may be said of Charles Cantor, who | plaved the part of hostler of the Cat and | Fiddle Inn. 3 | Miss Helen Rainsley in the leading fe- male role, Lady Palama, has a rich and | sweet voice and was cordially received last night. Other members of the com- pany who accuitted themselves most creditably were Messrs. W. H. Thomp- son, Arthur Cunningham, John Reade and S. H. Forde. Miss Addie Sharpe in the ingenue part is very clover. Fhe chorus is well trained and the cos- tumes are fresh and tasteful. Orpheum. The social fad of to-day is the high- born pussy cat and the Orpheum manage- ment this week demonstrates that “tab- by"” has a real right to recognition. Te- chow’s cats at the Orpheum are nobie champions of their ace. Lockhart's ele- phants were the bisgest things in the line of big “animal acts” the Orpheum ever presented; Techow's cats are the big- gest “Mttle fellows” anybody ever showed anywhere. They do everything and do it in a way to interest the oldsters and drive the yungsters to puiting the family cat through a course of tralning. Smith and Campbell in their “sidewalk’ conversa- tion are bright and interesting, and Amiel is about the only contortionist in whose work the “artistio” overshadows the un- natural handling cof the form divine. Beatrice Moreland appgars to much bet- ter advantage in ner flew sketch, “Pop- py,” and was last night rewarded with continuous ripple of applause. Papinta SHil Tetains her popularity and, althoush she was the closing feature of the show, there was no putting on of hats and coats to disturb anybody. The Bunth and Rudd Company has some new things from the “old world,” and taken all through the Orpheum has no need to worry about the box office for this week.
