QUAINT and picturesque play is “The Royal Box,” the Neill com- pany's bill at the California Theater this week, and a biil likely to prove more than com- mon popular. “The Royal Box” is the latest adaptation %of the old Dumas play “Kean"—titled “Sullivan” in its Spanish and Italian arrangements, by the way— and is adapted, remodeled and rewritten by Charles Coghlan, Instead of Kean, Mr. Coghlan has bullt his play about James Clarence, an actual or supposed popular actor of London at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Clarence admires a lady of the court, Countess Felsenx, who has the idle so- clety woman's admiration for the popular idol, and in a degree compromises herself for him, The Countess also counts the Prince of Wales, “‘the first gentleman of Europe,” among her admirers, and Clar- ence, the actor, sees fit to be jealous of him, The Prince is also Clarence’'s very good friend, and is faithful to the friend- ship even after Clarence’s jealousy has permitted him publicly to denounce the q b IS e e SCENE FROM THE PLAY NOW BEING PRESENTED AT THE CALIFORNIA THEATER BY THE NE:..

Aug. 11.—Signor Crispi died at this evening. He was sur- ded by the members of his family and everal intimate friends. The news was § ediately telegraphed to King Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helen.

Prince of Wales” and does by much his best work of this season in the role. John ‘W. Burton does another of his excellent old men, Tipps, the ““bobby,” as clever a bit of character work as one could wish to see, and with Arthur Croswell, who makes the most of his small part as an actor, and John P. Wade, who, with a steaming punch bowl, pipes round the “Cat and ~Fiddle” hearthstone, make a very pleasing old English picture. Mr. Bernard is sufficient as Count Felsen, and Donald Bowles is not altogether com- fortable as Clarence's old servant. Edythe Chapman has a graceful part as Celia Bryse, and lpoked very charming and played all there was to play very effi- ciently. Julia Dean is rather overweight- ed with the Countess Felsen's role, which is out of the ingenue scale, and Lillian Andrews gets the heartiest laugh of the evening, when, as the landlady of the “Cat and Fliddle,” she declares her equal regard for & “lord or a lobster.” The Royal Box" is very well costumed and staged, and the draped and bedecked box in the auditorium, in which the Prince and his party come to see ‘“Romeo and Juliet” at the Old Drury, was the center of attraction for the large audi- ence. s ““Mrs. Dane's Defence” will hold forth at the Columbia Theater for another six nights and Saturday matinee. Charles Frohman has sent a brilliant play _and equally brilliant players headed by Mur- garet Anglin ard Charles Richman. These two players are exceptionally well much commendation. Next Monday night Daniel Frohman's Company from Dalyvs Theater will present R. C. Carton's comedy success, ‘“Lady Huntworth's Experiment,” with Miss Hilda Spong in the title role. s 8 The third week of the grand opera sea- =on at the Tivoli will open to-night with the favorite old Donizettl opera, ‘La Favorita,” which will serve to introduce the new tenor of the company, Agostini, to Tivoli patrons. ‘La Favorita” has not been heard here before for some years and has a cast to-night that promises a most capable rendering of the tuneful opera. Besides Signor Agostini, who ap- pears as Ferdinand, Dado will be heard in the fine bass part of Balthazar, Terrari in the role of the King of Castile, and Collamarini in the name part. Another notable attraction of the week is -the alternating bill, “Otello,” that alsg has an excellent cast, and the additional Interest of a new singer, Linda Montanari, prima donna soprano. 'Signorina Montanari will be heard in the part of Desdemona, and Lia Poletini has the contralto role of Emilia. Castellano will sing Otello, and Salassa will repeat his sreatest success as Iago. The public is respectfully reminded that the curtain now rises at 8 o’clock sharp. . . One of the best bills of the Frawley sea- son at the Grand Opera-house will be the play for this week, Henry Arthur Jones' brilliant comedy of manners, “The Liars. Mr. Frawley will appear therein as Sir MENT IN THE PRESENCE OF A MULTI — did such splendid work with Henry Miller last season, and Mary Van Buren will be seen as Lady Jessica. It is the first time “The Liars” bas been given here at popular prices, and the play will doubtless draw the houses of the season. L) The Alcazar's novel attraction of the week is Miss Charlotte_Thompson's new mar. “Silver-mounted Harness,” which will be seen to-night for the first time anywhere. Florence Roberts appears as the heroine, Mrs. Latimer, who is mar- ried to a man whom she does not love, and whose matrimonial fetters give the title to the play. George Webster plays the husband’s part, White Whittlesey the role of the villain and Lucius Henderson that of the inevitable “other man’” who makes his appearance in such circum- stance. A feature of the play will be a symbolic dance that has been arranged by Professor Bothwell Browne. « e . The new features of the Orpheum pro- gramme presented last evening are in neeping with the usual excellence of the entertainment provided at that popular theater. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Keley, in the light farce “Uncle Phineas,” present one of the most pleasing sketches seen for many weeks, scoring a decided hit. Charles H. Bradshaw and his associates, Charlotte Wade, George W. Coakin apd Ada Horsfall, created considerable laugh- ter in the funny skit “Fix in a Fix,” that deals with the old subject of too much mother-inlaw. Remarc and Rilay have 2 novel {llusion act that is very much on The blograph has some new and inter- esting pictures, and the holdovers are the Standard Quartette, the Molassa-Salvag- gl eccentric dancers, Alexandra Dagmar, Oscar Sisson and his company in a mu- sical sketch and Hill and Silviany, the marvelous blcyclins; 5 “The Great Diamond Robbery” is the attraction that the Central Theater offers for this week. beginning with to-night. It is a fascinating melodrama replete with crisp comedy and good strong situations. The cast contains the names of all the most popular Central players, including that of Robert Cummings, who returns this week to the theater. An elaborately mounted and well-costumed production is promised. This week's list_of entertainers at Fischer’s Concert House includes Irene Franklin, the clever cornet soloist; Wil- Ham Norden, lyric tenor; Arthur Rosell and Pearl Clough, juvenile rformers; Dutch Walton, musical comedian; Maud Still, singing and dancing soubrette; Sey- mour and Hill, acrobatic comedians; Jones and Brown, colored funmakers, and | Gaffney and Burton, singers and dancers. o ities of the role.

President Bundschu accepted the trust in a strong address. He advanced amid applause, walking arm in arm with May- or Phelan. The two were warmly greeted by the thousands below, and when the ap- plause had subsided President Bundschu delivered the dedicatory address. The first part was in German and the perora- tion in which he introduced Mayor Phe- lan was in English. He said Accomplished stands, what during long tran- sition Has called for faithfulness and strong sup- port— Behold! at last success has crowned ambition! In hopeful confidence we struggled forth, Resolved to win, we dared and never feared That at some future time we would succeed. This day suspense and doubt have disappeared, Before us stands in sunshine’s realm—thé eed! Appearing before you in this hour of festive congregation, no exalted sentiment of pride or triumph forces itself upon my lips, only the modest sensation of joy and gratitude, that a eignificant undertaking could ultimately be carried to a satisfactory solution.~ On behalf of the members of the association I accept the completed monument from the custody of the executive committee. The German-American population lending moral and practical sup- port to our enterprise should find gratification in our ultimate success. To those, however, who were actively and fearlessly engaged with me during 2 number of years in the promotion and accomplishment of our object, I wish to express at this hour and under these surround. ings my most emphatic and sincerest appre- to You could wish for nothing better than For Stea}ss, Chops Fish et 15¢a25¢ : All ¢y Grocers clation for their personal endeavors. To all the German-American organizations, to the representatives of the press, to the past and present Park Commissioners and to my col- leagues I would say: Contemporaneous and fu- ture generations will gratefully recognize your laudable efforts in giving generous assistance toward the erection of this worthy monument to two of the foremost classical exponents of progressive humanity. What It Stands For. And thus it may stand as a dreamlike ap- parition of the Old World, as a venerable re- membrance of a consecrated spot in the Middle States of Germany, as the representative of the glorious literary epoch of a great and en- lighten tion, as a grave reminder to many to preserve as far as possible within their kin the spirit, the advantages and the blessings of the language of Goethe and Schiller and final- ly as an acceptable embellishment and artistic addition to these most beautiful surroundings on the shores of the Pacific Dedicated to the City of San Francisco by the Year Nineteen Hundred and One,” pro- claims the inscription on this beautiful monu- ment and thus we are assembled to-day to unvell and convey through you, Mr. Mayor, the result of our modest ambition. During the festive days of the California Midwinter In- ternational Exposition, when over 80,000 people assembled on these very grounds on'which we stand, to celebrate ““German Day,’ the resolu- tion prevailed to erect in Golden Gate Park a lasting monument to commemorate and sym- bolize the forceful infiuences and cheerful par- ticipation of citizens of German descent in the development of the physical and intellectual | resources of this great commonwealth. A du- plicate of the beautiful popular statue, mod- eled by the eminent sculptor, Ernst Rietschel, | and erected by the German nation in the quaint | old city of Weimar in the vear 1857, was unan- | imousiy selected. The name of Weimar, where Goethe and Schiller lived and worked together in harmony, and where they died, is indeli- bly inscribed in the heart of the German people and in the mind of every civilized nation on the globe, This work of art transplants to these beau- ful grounds of our adepted city a soulful and historical reminiscence of the greatest perlod of German literature—a period that enlightenied | and advanced their people and strengthened | their sons and daughters in the fulfiliment of their sovereign duties toward themselves and toward their fellow men, May our fellow citizens accept this token of our love and esteem in the broad spirit of kindliness in which it has been concelved and in which it is now tendered to his Honor the Mayor of the city and county of San Fran- cisco, Unveiling the statue in the name of the Goethe-Schiller Monument Association, I com- mend the same to the guardianship of present and future generations. The vell may drop! The Monument Unveiled. As President Bundschu gave the order to unveil the monument all eyes were turned toward the terrace where the double statue, resting on a massive base of granite, stood, Standing in front of the monument, her hands tightly clutching a rope, was Miss Anna Priber, garbed in white. At the signal she gave several vigorous tugs at the rope and the white veil slowly divided in front, revealing the figures of Goethe and Schiller to the gaze of the multitude. In another instant the heroic ‘figures, with brows uplifted, re- flected the light of the sun and recelved the first greetings of an admiring multi- tude. Women waved their handkerchiefs, men their hats, and from hundreds_of throats a mighty ‘“‘Hoch!” arose. The silent figures, so majestic in their rigid- ity, yet seeming to be imbued with life, looked eastward, as if in a dream of the Fatherland. It was an magmng spectacle and will not readily be forgotten by those who witnessed it. ¢ Mayor Phelan next accepted the monu- ment in behalf of the city and county of San Francisco. He spoke as follows; On behalf of the citizens of San Francisco, I accept this beautiful group of statuary from our an-American citizens, whose thought- ful generosity I desire in the name of all our people to gratefully acknowledg This gift will sugges things to the casual observer who seeks theso shades ' for recreation. He will realize that San Fran- cisco is a little world in itself, Men from every land bave made it their home, They bring their culture and their skill con~ a tributicns to the city of which they have be- come by right of citizenship an active and pat. riotic part. Thus do we possess the spirit of every land and proudly boast of our cos- mopolitan character. Provincialism alone is a stranger within our gates. Liberality of thought and toleration of views and c 8 & people, perfect freedom and good fellow- ship. A new country has the splendid aavantage Citizens of German Descent of California, in’ of enjoying the thought and the work of all men who have gone before. As the poet has written, we are ‘'The heirs of all the ages in the foremost files of time.” From these, our possessions, the common property of mankind, we can draw at will. From the exalted posi- tion which it Is our good fortune to occupy, native genius may soar, and on the sure foundation of past accomplishment native skill may safely build. To appropriate, however, the work of other men or even to take the legacy which is ours; without expressing obligation to our benefac- tors, would prove us selfish and unworthy. So to-day we are mssembled to pay a tribute which is the due of genius, to the great mas- ter minds of Germany, Goethe and Schiller. They are ours because we make them ours. Their genius was so_transcendent that they beleng to the world, but proud is the mother of her sons and proud to-day is the land of their birth, You who came from Germany speak for your native land; I for our cosmopolitan city—but Who shall speak for art, poetry and science? Who shall speak for the glory of mankind? ‘Who is able to fittingly express the whole debt of gratitude we owe to mortals such as these? Yet lttle did they dream in the wildest fmaginings of Fancy's flight that they woull be honored by a monument in bronze by the far shores of the Pacific. But be It known to the lasting credit of their fellow country- men who have distinguished themselves in the upbuflding of the West, that, although sep- arated by a sed and a continent from the Fatherland, they have during their piigrimage carried within their hearts, as the arc of the covenant, their love and reverence for Ger- many’s greatest names. Goethe and Schiller loved each other. There- fore thi# portralt group shall stand for manly friendship as well as fame. It will inspire our youth. Tt .will adorn our park as lonz as time will spare it from the ravages of decay. Here, situated among the flowers so dear to Goethe, it will gerve to awaken our love of the world's best literature and our apprecta- tion of its most brilllant_exponent: How dear to us is our Shakespeare, who has peopled our minds as with living men and women, representing every human passion and emotion. He was venerated by Goethe and Schiller and should stand by their side. Then let this monument be but the begin- ning of San Francisco's tribute to the great minds of the world. Let tkis Concert Valley be a temple of fame. Then will the blooms of flowers and the volce of music on every holiday bespeak our gratitude and praise. We thank our German fellow citizens for having suggested the thought and for giving it such beautiful expressjon in this work of thelr great sculptor, Riethschel. thus wedding art, literature and the Fatherland in a com- mon memortal. Apart from the consplcuous services which our citizens of German extraction have ren- dered this country in every fleld of human activity, why should not the Fatherland have a memorizl? We have been accustomed to boast of our Anglo-Saxon civilization and it is true the land of Shakespeare has given much to*the world, but back of England were the peovle who have given that country its name as_well as its distiction, the Angles and the Saxons, who were German tribes and whose superior prowess wrested the possession of that country from the nftive Britons. So, whatever benefits have been conferred upon America by Anglo-Saxon civilization, its origin must be sought In the ancestors of the men who here to-day glorify the greatest minds which the Teutonic races have de- veloped. It is the blending of all people that has given supremacy to America, and it is a Dleasing office we have to-day to acknowledge our obligation and epeak our thanks. Acceptance of Monument. Park Commissioner McDonald made a brief address of acceptance in behalf of the Commissioners. He said future gen- erations would revere the monument and express their debt of gratitude to the Ger- man-American citizens for their magnifi- cent tribute to their illustrious country- men. He expressed the hope that the monument would be a bond of sympathy between the American people and thefr brothers from across the sea. After the reading by M. Greenblatt of a poem written by the late Theodore Kirchhoff, Professor Ewald Fluegel de- livered an oration in German. He spoke as follows: On this most joyous and most glorlous day ever celebrated by the German citizens of Cali- fornia, before the pedestal of this most noble monument. looking upon numberless proud and enthusiastic men, upon this blooming landscape and upon this mighty ocean, it s difficult for one to master his emotions sufficlently to give expression to the solemnity of the hour.

Every one who is here to-day knows, reveres and loves these immortals. Fach one of you remembers some of their immortal sayings, their mighty thoughts. At the mere mention of Goethe and Schiller thoughts and images arise within you which have been your companions since your earliest youth. Perhaps it would be appropriate to select a subject for this address from one of their many sayings, or to give a picture of their indi- viduality, or to speak of their importance to the literature of Germany and of the world, but it is the union, the friendship of the two upon which T desire to dwell. Their friendship appears, after all, to be the greatest achieve- ment and glory of their lives. Friendship of the Poets. . The speaker gave an account of the his- tory of their acquaintance and rising friendship. He dwelt upon the coolness and apparent antipathy which kept them apart for years. At last.-in June, 1794, they accidentally met at the sessfon of a learned society at Jena, and while walking home together in the night they for the first time ‘‘discovered one another.” Goethe dated an epoch of his life, a new spring, from this day. Schiller received a new inspiration. They met late in the journey of life, but, as Schiller said: “The last companions on a long journey always have the most to tell one another.” Goethe in his large-hearted way then pro- posed that they should henceforth “live and work as friends, together forming one whole,” each supplementing the other. In conclusion the speaker quoted Schil- ler’s saying: “In striving to recognize ex- cellence there is no liberty but love.” This sentiment, he said, found ‘an echo in Goethe’'s magnificent words: *“To recog- nize the divine wherever and in whatever form it is revealed is the only true hap- piness on earth.” The speaker dwelt on the Infinite practi- cal importance of this thought, which should become a living force in the daily life of each one of us, as was the case in the lives of these ‘“heroes of song and thought.” Dr, Fluegel. finally referred to the fact that Germany, though torn by ages of dissension, may point with pride to several such pairs of famous friends, who have been honored by double monu- ments—Luther and Melancthon, Hutten and Sickingen and the brothers Grimm, connected as much by common ideals as by tles of blood, and, lastly, the great scholars and _discoverers, ~Gauss and Weber. “Of all these monuments,” he said, “the one to Goethe and Schiller ap- peals most strongly to our hearts and is the noblest gift which the citizens of Ger- man descent could offer to this city and fimg’ and, indeed, to the American na- on. Closing Ceremonies. At the close of the oration the “Sol- diers’ Chorus” was sung and the bedeck- ing of the monument with wreaths was be- gun. The Kreiger Verein marched at the head of the procession and presented arms before President Bundschu and Mayor Phelan, who followed in advance of the celebration committee and the members of the singing socleties, which contributed the wreaths. These were banked against the granite base of the monument, and when the officers and guests had properly grouped themselves photographs of the scene were taken by a dozen camera artists. This ended the dedication exercises for the afternoon. The officers of the day wer: Charles Bundschu, president; M. Greenblatt, first vice president; Professor A. Putzker, ond vice president; F. C. Sieb2, treasure: Kollmann, corresponding secretary: Cesa: Bertheau, financlal secretary; M. Bergheim, Tecording secretary. The members of the executive and un- veiling committee were: Dr. C. M. Richter, I. Gutte, Joseph Branden- stein, Dr. F. C. Castelhun, Henry Epstein, Dr. Max Magnus, L. S. Rose, 'A. Herbst, L. Schar- enberg, Charles Drescher, F. W. Dohrmann, Dr. Gustav Gutsch, J. G. B. Broemmel, Robert Capelle, John L. Koster, E. C. Priber, John H. Sfevers, A. Entzmann, Charles Rehn, C. Kuss and C. Trautner. Evening Festival Exercises. The Goethe-Schiller festival exercises took place at Native Sons’ Hall last even- ing. A large audience of representa:ive Germans was present. Among the invited Buests present was President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the State University. An attractive programme was rendered. The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The stage was fairly buried in flowers and palms, and about it, sus- pended from, the proscenium, hung the American and German colors. Leading \ members of the Monument Association occupled seats on the platform. The opening address was by President Charles Bundschu. He spoke of the exer- cises at the park in the afternoon and referred to the day as an important one for the German-Americans of this eity and the Pacific Coast. In conclusion, he Therefore be proud to-day, thou song-inspired German heart! A monument around which the love of an entire nation has woven the nimbus | of eternal veneration has risen anew. In rejuve: nated form here where the seed of Germaa life has generated into roots and fruit-bearing trees under the powerful influences of this great republican commonwealth. Goethe and Schiller's dominating power in the direction of the development of ideal thought has been honored and recognized by every cultured race. Their beautiful creations have been transplanted by philolggists and thinkers into almost every language, and especially English and American literature shows a pro- found admiration for their classical genius. Goethe's earnest, progressive Intuition and his poetical idealization of human individuality, and Schiller's noble, reformatory inspiration for the pure spirit of liberty against servitude and inherited prerogatives "have placed the poet friends of Welmar in the front rank of cosmo- politan significance. Their spirit has followed us across the ocean, and to-day we lowered our banners before their noble images, modeled by artf€t's touch, and where the waves of the great Pacific Ocean roar their everlasting mel- ody we placed the wreaths and flowers of our Golden State at the feet of immortal genius. May the blisstul influence of their sublime thoughts be felt in many ways, may the scope of their recognition be broadened and may their plastic representation In Golden Gate Park in- spire and encourage all our citizens to the great task of the American nation, fostering the elevation and advancement of the entire human race. A Great Work Accomplished. r Albin Putzker of the State University delivered a strong address on the subject of the unveiling of the Goethe- Schiller monument. In substance he said: We feel happy to-day because in perfect union we accomplished a great work. This is a memorable day in the history of our city and of our State; Such noble tasks are elevating, so we shall undertake more in the future; monuments will be built to other poets. ‘The most delightful element in the present work is its ideally imperishable character: the monument was built without consideration of profit or gain, but solely for the elevation of mankind. Monuments are of greatest import; the best Berlin and Athens have is their monuments ana the spirit that begot them. What delight to have Rietschel's great mas- terwork at our very doors! Invisible spiritaal threads connect henceforth San Francisco and Weimar where the original monument stands and where the Immortal poets rest side by side, This undertaking will in future lead to stmilar ones In our State. The German literary culture in our country will be elevated. The noble unselfishness of the work, built mot for the Germans, no, but as the best gift we could think of to present to our land. The spot where it stands in Golden Gate Park is a most remarkable one and fit to be the abode of the poets of cosmic Itterature. As the poets are represented in thelr phenomenal friendship, o may it ever be a token of noble friendshin between our new and our old fatherland! An interesting address was also d ered by Professor Jullus Goebel of ® iie State University. The programme includeq a flute and horn wolo by W. Oestreicher and O.

C. H. E. Zeigler, who advertised on Friday for the bodles of 400 human beings on which he could operate, has found many persons who are willing to accept his grim offer. Men and women of all conditions of life— some for money, some for the sake of sci- ence, some who are tired of the trials of life—have written to the physiclan and asked that he meet them and seal the bargain.
