It was felt by many play-goers | that the beforetime presentation of the ! play, some two years ago, at the Colum- bia Theater, was rather a second-rate af- fair.

This| can by no means be said of the present production offered Ly the Liebler people, which is excellently cast and handled throughout with “The Christian” probably comes as near conviction in ‘the hands of its present ex ponents as it is possible for a play of its inherent artificiality to come, and the zcting is well worth seeing, quite outside of any merits the drama may possess The smallest role is amply cared for, and the principals compel strong sympathy | and interest throughout the whole cou | of the play. It was evidently very jvell enjoyed last night, Mr. Morgan and Miss | Le?lle sharing several enthusiastic re-| | calls. After Little Lord Fauntleroy, Mi sie Leslie in long frocks and gre emotions came oddly, but more than gratefully.

As the young Manx girl, | in- her willful, restless beauty, longing | to see the great world and {o try her | wings, Mies Leslie is absolutely convinc- ing. Her impersonation has all the bril- | liancy of winsome youth, the young ardor and happy hopefulness of romantic in- experience.

There is a weird fascination in watching the | play of features of that sanctimonlous, hypocritical scoundrel, the Baron Scar- pia, and the representation loses none of its villainy in the capable hands of Mel- bourne MacDowell, This is one of his best roles and he leaves no room for criti- | cism. He is ably supported by Florence Stone as La Tosca. The torture scene in the third act was so realistic last night that it held the audience spellbound until | the fall of the curtain and then there were several curtain calls for the leading characters. ~Mr. Mayall impersonated the artist, Mario, in his usual earnest, vigorous way and was liberally applauded for his_conscientious efforts.

She is a smaller Glory than Hall Caine has painted, not quite the full-blooded, affluently endowed creature of his inten- tion, and in the more strenuous scenes this is slightly felt. Where John Storm attempts her life, the actress, though true in key in her terror, a little lacks depth. But, on the whole, it Is a most engaging portrayal. Mr. Morgan's strenuous methods find grateful exercise in the part Storm, that is almost always convincing as he plays it. As the young preacher, the man with the fixed idea, the sincerity and earnestness of Mr. Morgan are at their most useful, and this popular actor did therein as good work as he has done here. -Particularly marked was the_ ex- cellent sympathy_ existing between Miss Leslie and Mr. Morgan, the admirable balance of their scenes together, never overdone nor underacted. In the stronger scenes the actor was at his best, and his powerful and finished interpretation was sreeted with rousing applause. The supporting company is of the most useful. Charles Rowan makes an excel- lent Lord Ure; Frank A. Lyon comes in as a fine, portly bit of ecclesiastical back- g‘round as Archdeacon Wealthy; Herbert ortier pleases as Drake, and Jefferson Lloyd helps things along cleverly as the “Faro King.” Carrie Lee Stoyle is the Mrs. Callendar, and is a wholesome, sturdy, Scotch dame with an accent that cheers, and Polly Love is pretty well done by Helen Wethersby. The rest of the parts are acceptably filled, and the piece is very well staged.

The Board of Supervisors by a vote of 12 to 5 yesterday confirmed the nomin- ation of George S. McComb to be clerk of the Justices’ Court, the nomination having been sent in last week by four Justices of the Peace. A resolution was adopted to that emect and ratifie§ Mc- Comb's appointment for a period of two years, the resolution to become effective immediately. This course will result in Powel Fredrick, the Mayor's appointee, making way this morning for McComb, who is now the legally constituted Jus- tices’ clerk. The fact that the confirma- tion was done by resolution makes it pos- | sible that the Mayor will exert his pre- rogative' to disapprove the measure, but it is not thought that he will d§ so, as | the resolution. could be passed over his head. When' the letter of the Justices of the | Peace nominating McComb had been read | | Wynn said that the Mayor had stated at !the conterence held ‘Cnursday tnat he would not ravor the confirmation of Me- Comb, because the latter had been re- moved win Willams. The Justices of the Peace, however, held that the Mayor had no right to interfere in the appoint- ment of a Justices' clerk, said Wynn. *1 have supported the Mayor in putting a derelict omcial out of office,” said Comte, “‘but [ think my support should stop there. 1 know Mr. McComb as a capable cierk. 1 must consider that there is now no Justices’ clerk and public busi- ness is suifering. I don’'t believe tnat politics shouid enter into the matter, and 1 intend to vote for McComb, even though I may be expelled from a Demo- cratic club. "1 therefore move that Mr. | McComb's nomination be confirmed. 3 | " “While we have sanctioned the Mayor's | course in removing Williams,” said Bran- | denstein, “I think that the situation | should be relieved so that litigants may | be able to conduct their suits. I there- | fore second the motion to confirm Mc- | Comb's nomination. While it is regret- | table that MeComp was assoclated with | Wiliams, I know that. he is competent | to_fill the position.” | “Comte then presented the resolution to | confirm, the Mayor insisting that a reso- | luuon was necessary. Wynn made a plea to abide by the Mayor’s desire, and Curtis argued that the Board of Supervisors should not | hamper business in the Justices’ court | by refusing to indorse the appointment | made by the Justices of the Peace. | *The Justices are all Republicans,” said Curtis, “and they have named a | good man. I think it is our duty to con- | irm him.” | Connor Wants Good Democrat. | “It is all politics,” said Connor. “It is a fight between one Republican boss on one side and a Republican boss on the other, There are eight Democrats on this | board besides four Democrats elected on | the Union Labor party ticket. I will vote | to confirm a good Democrat it the Jus- | tices name one.” | Brandenstein asked the Mayor if he did | not object to McComb’s confirmation on account of the latter's political affilia- | tions. | “That is not so,” said the Mayor. *“I1 will favor any man whom I consider a | good man, whether he be a Republican | or a Democrat. I will say that McComb | was not removed because he played the | races, but he was derelict in not attend- ing to his duties during the afternoon hours.” | McComb was then called on for an ex- | planation and said that while he had left | the office before the end of the day on . work the next morning. The vote to confirm McComb's nomina- tion follows: Ayes—Alpers, Bert, Booth, Brandenstein, Braunhart, Comte, Curtls, D'Ancona, Eggers, Payot, Sanderson, Wilson—12, Noes—Connor, Loughery, Lynch, McClellan, Wynn—35. Powel Fredrick, the appointee of Mayor Schmitz as clerk of the Justices’ Court, said last night that he will continue to hold the office, and if McComb should at- tempt to transact the business of the clerk's office action will be brought against him and the case will be carried to the Supreme Court, When the question | as to his title to the office will be decided 4 | as speedily as possible. | “Our contention is,” said Fredrick, “that under the charter the Mayor has sole power in the premises, and the Su- | preme Court alone will have to decide who has title to the office.” | THOUGHT HE LOCATED there, and when theater-goers are deliber- ating what places of amusement they will attend during the week Fischer's is al- Wways among the first to be considered. There are dazzling stage pictures and a continual fusillade of merriment. The costumes and music are beautiful. “Little Christopher’ still holds sway at Fischer's. The third edition of this clever burlesque is even more pleasing than the | two that preceded it. Many new numbers ! have been put on, and the chorus has | been strengthened ' by good voices and pretty girls. ' Pilar ~Mofin and Harry Hermsen divide the honors. The former is very fascinating and the latter is a comedian above the ordinary. Miss Lil- llan Coleman has a splendid voice and she does justice to the songs she renders. The plece is full of catchy airs and sweet music. There is a great deal of comedy and the fun never abatet B Orpheum. The Orpheum bill for this week has, as usual, a full quota of attractive features. The house was crowded to the doors last night, and every number on the pro- gramme was enthusjastically applauded. Louls Simon, Grace Gardner and company in their farce “The New Coachman’ seemed to be the favorites of the audi- ence. Frank Lincoln, the humorist, who toured the world with the Eastern base- ball stars some years ago, is as clever as ever. His impersonations created no end of amusement. Fanny Rice also proved a successful funmaker. Hedrix and Pres- cott do an excellent song and dance turn. Papinta, the famous dancer, is as won- derful and dazzling as of old. Gorman and Keppler were encored time and again. Their original little military sketch was particularly amusing. The Milani trio, vo- calists and instrumentalists, gave a su- perb rendering of some pretty Italian mu- sic. The violinist has a splendid concep- tion of his art and an ability of rendition that has not often been equaled in San Francisco. Les Troubadours Toulousians are still singing their beautiful melodies, and seem to be as mu reciat ! z? ch app; ed as | Tivoli. "Thl: fifth week of the presentation of The Serenade’” commenced at the Tivoll Opera-house last night. There was a large audience. The extraordinary suc- cess of this charming opera at this popu- lar place of entertainment is not surpris- ing, with such a splendid cast, every mem- ber being admirably cast. The principals— Ferris Hartman, Arthur _Cunningham, ‘William Schuster, Harold Gordon, arry Cashman, Edward Webb, Anna Lichter, Frances Graham and Annle Myers—were in splendid voice and éncores were in or- der.

NORA FULLER'S SLAYER Find of a Private Detectiye and Story of a Young Girl Both Prove of No Value. Two supposed good clews as to the identity of the much-wanted John Ben- nett, the man who is accused of causing the death of Nora Fuller, were swept aside yesterday upon investigation. The claim made by the young girl Ida Jeffries that she was well acquainted with Nora Fuller and could throw con- siderable light on her disappearance and mysterious death has absoiutely no foun- dation. lda Jeffries not only told a lurid story of her friendship with Nora Fuller, but also claimed that she had 'seen her with a strange man shortly before her disap- pearance, the man answering the descrip- tion of Bennett. When closely questioned Ida Jeffries admitted that twenty-one months ago she had casually met a girl on the street who gave her name as Nora Fuller, and that she had met this girl about six_times in the following two weeks and had not seen her since. ‘When shown a portrait of Nora Fuller, published a few days after the discovery of the dead girl's body in the vacant house on Sutter street, Ida Jeffries said that it was not the portrait of the girl she met nearly two years ago. statements made by Ida Jeffries were so contradictory that no reliance is placed on her story that she ever met a girl who gave her name as Nora Fuller, A private detective set police circles in a flurry Sunday by _claiming that he had found a picture of John Bennett and that he had located the original of the photo- graph. Relylng on the drooping eyelid the sleuth happened to see a photgraph of a pianist and actor who for the last four years has been employed at a cineo- graph theater on Market street. ‘The sleuth at once jumped to the con- clusion that he had discovered John Ben- nett and_ forthwith communicated his find to the upper office at police head- quarters. The restaurant man who had described John Bennett was shown the picture and said that it was that of the When he saw the man whose photo he had pre- viously inspected the restaurant man de- clared that he was not Bennett, much to the chagrin of the private detective. Neither Chief of Police Wittman nor Captain of Detectives Seymour has any- thing new to report on the search for John Bennett. stripes, while the curtain falls to the tune of ‘“Yankee Doodle’” and amid voci- ferous cheers from the big audience. The play is a good melodrama, splendidly staged and the characters are all cleverly portrayed. Georgie Cooper, always clever, excelled herself last night as a Frenc girl in love with Ensign Barry Hanley, an Irishman, in the service of the United States. The part of Hanley was cleverly enacted by Edwin T. Emery. Annette Marshall’s Elinor Danleigh, " a difficult part, was cleverly done and étl.nley Ross was very good as Captain Basilio Havi- lando, uvsrlnllh naval officer. The play is ro thrilling and abounds in so many dramatic situations that'.at the end of each act the performers are called before the curtain. i —_—— Cafe Zinkand serves a substantial b ness men'’s lunch. several occaslons he always entered his | The | ADVERTISEMENTS.

FIGHT AGAINST POKER PLAYING Police Commission Sub- mits Ordinances to Supervisors. Makes It Unlawful to Play the Game in Cafes or Saloons. At the opening of yesterday’'s session of the Board of Supervisors Boxton pre- | sentea the drafts of two proposed ordi- | nances to prohibit the playing of poker in | saloons. They were framed by the Police | Commission. He also presented a com- munication dated January 30, 192, from the same body, urging the passage of the measure. The communication says: SAN FRANCISCO, January 30, 1902 To the Hon. Charles Boxton, chairman Police €Committee of the Board of Supervisors—Sir: Pursuant to instryctions received by me at a meeting of the Police Commissioners heid | January 28, 1902, I respectfully refer to the Police Cominittee of the Board of Supervisors for its consideration the inclosed drafts of two proposed ordinances and the inclosed draft of an order amendatory of section 78 of order No. “1557. These ordinances are designed to suppress the playing of poker in saloons and public places, an evil which existing laws do not seem to reach. The Police Commission requests you and your colleagues to give this subject the careful consideration which its im- portance warrants, with a view to recom- mending to the board the passage of the ord nances herewith submitted to you and of such legisiation as may be necessary to e fectually prevent and inhibit such poker play- | ing. Respectfully, BOARD OF POLICE COMMISSIONERS. B. J. CADWALADER, Secretary. Boxton Explains Delay. Boxton explained that the communica- | tion had been addressed to him personally | through an error of the secretary of the | Police Commission, who should have sent | it to the Clerk of the Board. Boxton said | that through an oversight the papers had | lain in the Police Committee’'s box, of | wEich he is chairman. He denied that | there was any intention to conceal the documents. The first ordinance makes it unlawful | for any person to deal. play or bet at or | against any game played with cards for money, check or credits in any saloon, cafe or public place or in any room, apartment or place attached to such saloon, cafe or public place, or in any house, room or place where ligours, drinks or cigars are dispensed, sold or given away, and make it unlawful for the owner, proprietor, manager or person having the occupancy, charge or control of any of such designated places to per- mit_any of such prohibited games to be | dealt or played, but provides that the pro- visions of the ordinance shall not apply to certain places where the written au- tkarity or consent of the' Police Commis- sioners has been given for the conduct of such prohibited games, and provides fur- ther that its provisions shall not affect the playing of the games in any private family.” Any person violating the ordi- nance shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of $500 and imprisonment for six months. Provisions of Ordinance. The second ordinance makes it unlaw- ful for any person to ome an inmate of or visit any saloon, cafe or public place where lquors are sold or given away and | money is dealt or conducted. The pro- | visions, however, shall not apply to family | dwellings. ‘The amendatory ordinance to order No. | 1587 provides that “it shall be unlawful for any person in the city and county of Sain Francisco to play the game of poker, or as a dealer to take part in playing the | game of poker for money or other repre- sentatives of value in any barroom or any | public place or for any person conducting | or having possession of or being in charge 2s owner or employe, to permit the game of poker to be played therein for money, checks, credits or other representatives of value. Any person violating the provis- ions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and be punished by a fine of not less than $50 nor more than six months’ imprisonment or by both such fine and imprisonment.” The ordinances were referred to the joint Committee on Judiciary and Police. —_— COMES TO CITY IN BEHALF OF WELL-KNOWN MAGAZINE Edward O'Brien, President of “The Successful American,” Comes to Find Material Here. dent of the “‘Successful American,” is in Hle city in the interest of that publica- on, ““The Successful American” is a - nized standard biographical mngaxl;z.cogt cational work it has a distinct value, The magazine is now in its thira year, of success and Mr. O'Brien has come to San Francisco for the purpose of collect- ing material for its columns. —_——— Churches May Lose Pastors.
