CHAN’S GRIEF FOR FIRST BORN A THRILLS THEATER-GOERS ANEW Revival of Francis Powers’ Gem of Tragedy Attracts Large Audiences at the Alcazar. AN FRANCISCO theater goers feel a peculiar loyalty to the intense little drama ‘‘The First Born,” and its revival at the Alcazar arouses aninterest that the pres- ence of strong bills at the other play- houses cannot dissipate. The little O'Far- rell street theater was crowded Monday night at the first presentation under the play’s reproduction, in spite of the rain; and again last night the large attendance was prophetic of a long run, possibly est 1lift up the ladder of fame, n;nd many have said that “The First Born” without May Buckley in the cast would fail to win popular approval. In the new cast, how- ever, Lila Convere has leaped at once into favor. She has imbued the part with new interest, and the pretty, ingenuous slave girl becomes charming and captivating under her clever handling of the charac- ter, until one is almost consoled for the absence of the footlight favorite who cre- ated the part. Howard Scott is forceful and effective as Chan Wang, the wronged husband and father of little Chan Toy, the first born. The dgnmed Dr. Pow Len, in which Barton cast a most important figure among the unique characters of the little master- plece. Charles Bryant is the one member of the old company who remains to partici- pate in the revival. As Hop Kee, the pipe-bowl mender, he was originally and still is inimitable.

Tn his last will the late Julius Friedman stated his belief that no heirs at law sur- vived him. Julius Friedman was either mistaken or a small army which now claims relationship to him is composed of impostors. ? Yesterday was the last day in which, under the law, alleged heirs and claim- ants to a portlon of decedent’s estate could file their appearance in court. In consequence about forty-five lawyers, each representing from one to seventy- five claimants, appeared in Judge Troutt’s court and filed appearance. ‘W. H. Alford, Asdistant District Attor- ney, presented the most formidable ap- pearance of all the lawyers. He was en- gaged over a year ago to represent five alleged heirs of the deceased. Since his appointment Alford’s original clients have all died, each leaving fifteen heirs. TIn congequence Alford now represents all of the heirs of his original alleged heirs of the late Julius Friedman. Though Friedman died practically alons in the Palace Hotel in this city and for years had belleved himself so much alone that he willed most of his $500,000 estate to charity, there have now come forward claimants from every quarter of .the globe. Among the attorneys who filed appearancs in behalf of various alleged heirs are: Ex- Judge Willlam R. Daingerfleld, ex-Judge Edward A. Belcher, Na.phml%(,]l“rled rich & Ackerman; Rosenthal & Wise, Hough- ton_& Houghton, Joseph Rothschild, H. G. W. Dinkeuym, Henry A. Jacobs, Mey- er Jacobs, F. J. Castelhun, T. E. Pawlic] and Martin Stevens, Wallace A. Wise, who represents the beneficiaries under the will of the de- ceased, intends to join all the alleged heirs in a complaint to quiet title to the Friedman estate.. This will bring the mat- ter to an issue, though it m.ay be jyears before the estate is finally settled and the decree of distribution filed. 3 i1l is seen, remains in the new | CRUEL PARENTS TAKEN T0 JAIL James, Langtry and Wife Prefer Drink To Their Babes. Children Are Left to Starve in the Filthy Room of a Hovel. S R A scene of squalor was presented in the home of James Langtry at 323 Ritch street when visited by Officers McMurray, Koe- gel and Orr last evening. In a fllthy room lay the parents, stupified by liquor and three children—the oldest of them 4 years —hungry and almost naked. Negleet hud brought disease to the unfortunate chil- dren and the oldest of them was sent to the Receiving Hospital for treatment. When the policemen entered the place they found a 4-year-old boy, sick and suffering. He was dressed in_a pair of father. A 3-year-old girl, wrapped up in a sheet, cried in a corner, and the - months-old baby, with no other clothing than a pillow slip about its little "bady, was almost unconscious from cold. The pleadings of the babies for food and attention were'unheeded by thelir parents, both of whom were under the influence of liquor. There was nothing eatable in |the house and the clothing was soiled. | Old rags scattered about the floor consti- t\]lte;i the beds on which the little ones slept. Langtry, who i{s a lgngshoreman, and | his wife’ ‘were placed %inder arrest und taken to the Central police station, where they were charged with cruelty and reg- lect to children. The oldest boy was sent to the Recelving Hospital and.the two younger children were placed in charge of the matron at the Hall of Justice.

The regular weekly meeting of the Bar- bers’ Union was held Monday night at Laurel Hall, Shiels building, 102 O'Farrell street. _The attendance was, as usual good. Secretary Currier’s report showed a healthy financial condition of the union. There is in the hands of the trustees $1000, with more to be added from the proceeds of the late pienic. The present member- ship has exceeded the 1000 mark, with sev- eral applications in the hands of the in- vestigating committee to be acted upon. inj aélinted unions are given to understand that the Barbers’ Union will cheerfully respond in aid of those out on strike should it be called upon to render assist- ance. taurant at 29 Fourth street, was fined $10, stand suspended. —_——————————— Situation in Oakland. coremakers were at work to-day in the shops, and cannot strike unless orders come from the Eastern headquarters.

The executive committes of the San Francisco Labor Council are endeavoring to ascertain the identity of some unknown which the signature of Organizer Jeffer- gon D.

An advertisement of this nature was recelved and published by The Cali, it baving every appearance of genuineness. e same ad- vertisement was also published in other San Francisco newspapers, it seeming to be regular. phA D S Austrian Society Picnic.
