Displays Strong Emotional Power and Perfection of Technique. A thing or two does come our way now and again, even if San Francisco is at the end of the world to the theatrical manager. One came yesterday in Mary Mannering’s first adventure into the emo- tional Homain of “Camille,” one of the | most interesting dramatic experiments that we have yet had the chance to see | tried here. The role, so far as was known | of Miss Mannering’s work, was entirely ‘forelgn to all her previous efforts, the character, the whole atmosphere of the play essentially different from anything with which she had before been concerned. A role essentially subtle, complex, de- manding large emotional power, the tragic note, the erotic key, was not the sort of part that one found it easy to fit Misw | Mannering into. Even among her falth: | fulest rollowers—and the Coiumbla was full of them yesterday—there were those Who prophesied failure s for the young beauty who has taken the town by storm. The others, of course, were ready to bet | their best boots on her success In any- thing she attempted. 1t fell out, however, that both were right —and wrong. far as a woman with an atmosphere as pure as a new-blown rose could suggest the Parisian cocotte, skilled in all the viclous arts of unlawful allure- | ment; sad, with the horrible cynfcisin | born of her dreadful knowledge; glad, | with a gayety sadder than tears; and | strong in the frightful philosophy her life | had taught, just so far was Mary Man- nering successful as Camille. That 1s, not very far, on that side of the character. The_ repentant Camille is another story, for here Miss Mannering achieved an un- qualified success. To say that the actress displayed strong emotional power, an easy perfection of technique, a delicate finish, restraint, naturalness, classic grace and, | more than all, an irresistible pathos that set men sniffing and women to sobbing outright, this would be to mention only the beginning of her accomplishment. There is everything here for a Juliet, an Imogene, an Ophelia, a Viola, and Miss Mannering is wasting_her sweetness' on | Janice Merediths and 'Camilles. True, there is an infinite deal more of her in “Camille” than in the other role, but neither get the best that she has to give, for It is infinitely too good for either. Her first scene in “Camille” promised a flat faiflure. Arch, gay, innocently allur- ing, she might have been anything rather than the creature she was attempt- ing to depict. The canker in the charac- ter was not there, the erotic suggestion, the subtle atmosphere of corruption that Bernhardt suggested so_ powerfully. It is a constitutional lack. Miss Mannering was not born that way, with that kind of vision, that kind of speech. It is out of her. emotional gamut, pitched out of her compass, a foreign tongue to her. But her after success, as the repentant Camille, more particularly in the scene with Armand’s father—as purely. artistic and pathetic bit of acting as has been seen for a long day on the local stage - was instant and unquestioned. _After the gambling scene, where Robert Drouet, as Armand, shared honors with the star, the curtain was lifted again.and again to the insistent demand of the delighted audi- | ence, who succeeded at last in getting the actors before the curtain after a little matter of ten or twelve recalls, Drouet wrung success out of the un- promising role of Armand. He gave a rendering of the. part conmspicuous for cumulative power, passion, sympathy and convincing quality. The part of Mons. Du- val was admirably sustained by °Carl Ahrendt; H. 8. Northrup was a sifficiently viclous De Varville to receive the ac- knowledgement of hisses from the audi- ence; Charles Cherry was a charming Zel- low as Gaston; Mrs. E. A. Eberle gave a good but rather comic valentiny of Mme. Prudence; Margaret: Moffatt as Nichette showed s;{lrit and originality; Amy Ric- ard did all that was necessary as Nanine, and Amy Rankin, a local light, was Olympe. FUNDS WILL NOT PERMIT ESTABLISHING AQUARIUM Park Commissioners Decide There Is No Money to Throw to the Fishes. At a meeting of the Park Commission- ers held yesterday afternoon it was de- cided, affer a thorough discussion, that the condition of the exchequer at the present time would not permit of an aqua- rium in Golden Gate Park. The Commis- sioners, without exception, expressed themselves as being in favor of an aqua- rium, but agreed that the construction and equipment of a suitable structure would require the expenditure of at least $100,000, a sum too great to be appropri- ated for such a project. The board decided to have a tunnel dug on the north side of the park similar to the one leading from the terminus of the Haight-street car line. This tunnel will enable the public to enter the grand court without passing over the bridge, which is usually crowded with vehicles. The Commissioners also ordered the construction of a footpath on the west side of the great highway leading to the cliff and beach. Hitherto in entering the park from the ocean side the pedestrians have been in doubt as to where to walk. The only road for a considerable distance into the park has had no footpath and the pedestrians were képt continually dodging horses, automobiles and bicycles. The board has found that the water in the valley from which the park supply has been pumped is in danger of being exhausted. To augment the supply, the Commissioners decided to erect a wind- THE EMPORIUM. ! THE EMPORIUM. | THE EMPORIUM.

Harry Plerce, a saloon keeper at Colma, is the victim of misplaced confidence and generosity. Some days ago a boy about 18 years 'of age applied to him for some- thing to: eat and a place to sleep, agree- ing to do such work in return for his meals’ and accommodations as he could about the place. Pierce installed him in his saloon as a sort of porter. On Monday last Pierce was called away to this city and the boy was left in charge of the place. During Plerce’s ab- sence the boy opened the outer door of the safe in the saloon in some manner unknown to Pierce. He then procured a jimmy and succeeded in forcing the in- ner door, taking $300 therefrom. The boy did not await Pierce’s return, but left after committing the crime.” Pierce came to the city last night and notified the police of his loss. Detectives were at once detailed to find the boy, as it is believed he came at once in this direc- tion. Pierce does not know the boy's name, except that he called himself “Ed- die.” He was able to give a good descrip- tion of the boy to the police. Spring Floral Exhibition.

George H. Marron, shipping clerk for Banborn, Vail & Co., is among the miss- ing, and his wife fears that he has been murdered. Marron was last seen Monday afternoon. He left his employers’ store shortly after 12 o’clock and went to his home at 697 Fulton street for luncheon. He seemed unusually happy, and after kissing his wife and baby, as was his usual custom, he left to return to the store where he was employed. Since then he has not been seen. Distracted over his disappearance, Mrs. Marron reported the matter to Captain Seymour, who de- tailed Detective Tom Gibson to hunt for the missing man. Last night Gibson reported to his su- perior officer that he had been unable to get the slightest trace of Marron. The missing shlp})lng clerk is described as being 23 years of age, 5 feet 7 inches in helght, wore a dark black suit, Mrs. Marron cannot account for - her husband’s disappearance. She says that he was not addicted to drink and was a model husband and father. She strongly believes that he is a victim of foul play. Captain Seymour intends to issue cir- culars containing a description of Mar- ron to every Sheriff and Chief of Police in the country, .in the hope of getting a trace of the missing man. Captain Sey- mour does not ‘believe that Marron was murdered. —_——— His Memory Has Lapsed.

The physicians are at a loss whether to send him to an insane asylum or to the County Hospital for medical observation. The first that the police saw of Clark was when he came to the Hall of Justice on New Year's eve and acted in a peculiar manner. His speech was incoherent and he gesticulated in a wild manner. From the Hall of Justice he was sent to the hospital. —————— Ohio Society’s Social.
