THE SAN ‘FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 9, FIGHTS DISTURB ‘THE DEMOCRATS “Rough House” in Forty- Second Assembly District. Regulars at Work on Plan of Club Organization Lin the City. Republicans and Democrats are begin- ning to exhibit activity in the work of preparation for the next local election. Several meetings took place last night. The Republicans have very nearly com- pleted the task of district organization under the auspices of the United Repub- lican League. Democrats of the Forty-second Assem- bly District met at Saratoga Hall last night and organized a club. Charles W. | Meehan, county committeeman of the dis- trict, called the meeting to order. A crowd of roughs, recruited from the Twenty-eighth, Twenty-ninth and For- | tieth districts, attempted to take posses- sion of the meeting by ousting Mechan from the platform. The house was rough | enough to please the most ardent Dem- ocrat. After partial restoration of order the following officers were chosen: Pres- | ident, Samuel Magner; vice president, William McMann; secretary, J. J. Me- | Namara; treasurer, Henry .Hanson. After organization another outbreak oc- | curred and the assistance of the police had to be invoked to quell thé disturbing | elements. Raineyites Horse and Carters, together with a good contingent of Buck- ley lambs, participated in the disorderly demonstrations. Between outireaks the business of signing the club roll was con- ducted with vigor. Before adjournment 321 names had been inscribed. At the last regular meeting of the Dem- ) ocratic County Committee a resoliition was adopted providing for the appoint- ment of a special committee to prepare a | general plan of organization for the ap- | proaching municipal campaign. In com- pliance with the resolution the chairman, | Jasper McDonald, appointed as a com- | mittee Andrew G. Maguire, chairman; Thomas E. Curran, Leo Kaufmann, Thomag W. Hickey, Matthew E. Lally, L. A. Dolan and W. W. Sanderson. The committee met last evening at the office | of Mr. Maguire in the Mills building and | prepared the following: The committee on plan of primary call and method of organization for the primary, ap- | pointed by the chairman of the Demoeratic , County Committee, pursuant to authorization, | believes it wise to take certain preliminary | action immediately to lay the foundation for a | strong Assembly district and precinct organ- ization. | _Up to this time no steps have been taken to | establish officlal clubs within the distrios g | precincts on behalf of the regular county or- | Eantzation, and we firmly believe that it is for the advantage of the Democratic party and the benefit of the public that this should be done. The present organization of the party came into being at the election prior to the framing and adoption of the present charter and was largely instrumental in securing for San Fran- cisco that organic law. Of the many officers this organization has succeeded in electing to the government of this city none has been un- faithful to the pledge given the people or been wanting in integrity or neglectful of his trust On behalf of an organization of the party which has achieved these results, and has so largely promoted clean and intelligent govern- ment, and that such conditions may continue, we deem it our duty to establish an official club in every Assembly district in the eity to represent this organization, and for this pur- pose we will appoint In every Assembly dis. | trict of the cit a temporary chairman and temporary secretary. whose duty it shall be to in a club organization on a d hereafter to be annownced by to met and select their permanent officers Temporary officers were appointed only two districts and the rest will be chosen later on. In the Twenty-eighth Eugene Lacey was appointed chairman and M. J. Brown secretary, and in the Twenty-ninth J. J. Sweeney was made president and James P. Lally secretary. It is clearly foreshadowed that the fight for the possession of the Democratic works will take place when the forces as- semble to organize clubs in the several ssembly district: e | POLITICIANS ORGANIZE.

Slavin in Lead, Supply Sparkling.Comedy at California. 4 “D’Arcy of the Guards” Well Played at Alcazar|Danger of Meat Famine T T A e BRI B R U R T TR TR i T T R i THREE 3 WELL KNOWN ACTRESSES WHO BY THEIR PERSONAL | CHARMS AND SUPERB VOICES ARE DELIGHTING LARGE AUDI- ENCES OF THE THEATER-GOING PUBLIC OF THIS CITY. i UN all wool and a yard wide is “The Circus Girl,” the second of- fering of the Daly Company, pre- sented last night to a house that might have been better at the | California. Like the peatock, the Daly Company is saddest when it sings—as a whole. Demanding less vocally than “A | Runaway Girl,” “The Circus Girl" goes much more swiftly. Two voices there are | in the company, one owned by Miss Isobel Hall, the other by Mr. Gore—who not using his this week, by the wa, But the | strength of the company lies otherwhere, | In a fashion to which we here are unac- customed the parts are brilliantly fitted to their exponents. There is a baker's | dozen of principals, all acting in the odor | of starship. The smallest roles are patted into place as carefully as the largest, with the result of an intelligence of interpre- tation, a competence of performance, that are eminently comfortable. The com- fort stops with the principals, however— going a very long way, nevertheless. It stops at the chorus, which is a rather naive thing in the chorus line every way you look at it. When I could forget its | fascinated attention to its train, that seemed almost satanically alive in its ca- | pacity for gettingsround the chorus feet, I found its voice somewhat thin, the said train rather dusty and the ensemble of the condemned kind. | For spirit and general effectiveness it, |in fact, In no way compares with the chorus work at the Tivoli, that has fitted us with a measure of fastidiousness In this regard that seems destined to remain unimpeached. But when it comes to the principals there is another story—one making for a most generous, evening’s entertainment. | The, Daly company is singularly fortu- nate also in its repertoire, “The Circus Girl,” like “The Runaway Girl” of last week, being one clean sparkle from end to end. The classic “‘dull moment” is not to be found therein, and the audience was kept in a comfortable convulsion through- out its pleasant course. Plot there is, to be discerned by the hypercritical in such regard, a harvest of humorous situations, bright lines galore and some good songs. It should be said, too, that the settings of the comedy are unusually effective. John R. Slavin, as before, heads the cast, and the thing funnier than Mr. Sla- vin as Biggs Is not among things easily imaginable. Biggs is “an artist who con- cocts the drinks Americaine” at a Paris cafe. Biggs is also ambitious, daring to raise his eyes to a sylph of the Drivelli circus, who is an artist of the tightrope. For love of her the pocket garcon an- swers a challenge to meet the ““Terrible Turk,” a wrestler of might at the circus, for a prize of $500, that will enable him to marry his charmer. The scene where the two are confronted, the monster Turk —amusing himself behind the scenes with daintily fingering the 200-pound dumb- bells—and the bantam waiter, is among the funniest the stage has to give, and every inch of its fun was extracted by Mr. Slavin and Henry Turpin, who ‘did the Turk to admiration. Slavin is a mix- ture,’ seemingly, of India rubber and gin- ger, being among the most featly- footed and snappy comedians ever seen here. He has an irresistibly comic deliv- ery, and while he abounds things hum with the plece. Mr. Slavin is overweight, 00, in the matter of voice—as comedians go. Another side of the comedy is taken charming care of by Miss Marie Doro, the dainty little ingenue. Miss Doro has an engaging role as the convent damsel in love with the cannon king of the le; cus, and is as pretty, flowery and chol .| as a bit of Dresden china in the part. Miss Doro's voice, thin and sweet, fine and true as a Koclan harmonic, precludes the possibility of singing feats for her, but she uses such as she has with such pret- tiness of intention that it, with her beauty and grace, go to make up a most taking ensemble. The little lady rivals the this- tledown in hes-dancing. To Miss Isobel Hall the vocal honors | 8o, and as tne circus queen she acted with much sprightliness and vim. Her song of the sorrows of the circus girl was sung with much charm of sentiment, and throughout she was a dashing and hand- some figure. George Fortesque was in- valuable as the Barnum of the cast, Drivelli bringing to it a fat humor and physique that filled its leanest Harold Vizard was another of the clever- est, Titus Weymss. Not to be forgotten, also, are Miss Violet Dale, Miss Sadie Kirby and Miss Fannie D. Hall, all most effi- clent. Then there are the two juveniles, Alfred Hickman and Louis J. Mintz, both contributing very su fully their share of effort. Certainly “A Chorus Girl” should be seen, if it is not so abso- lutely imperative to hear it. 2 BLANCHE PARTINGTON. Alcazar. The military comedy “D’Arcy of the Guards” was produced at the Alcazar Theater last night to a packed house, and the success,of White Whittlesey and the clever stock company approached that attained by Henry Miller and his com- pany in this piece at the Columbia last summer. tionary times, and there is a pretty love story that runs through the which is cleverly and charmingly worked out. The dandy Major Jack D’Arcy of the Grenadier Guards, who with his friend Dr. Gregory, thé regimental surgeon, is quartered at the homestead 6f Mrs. Town- shend, in Philadelphia, falls in love with her daughter Pamela, a fair rebel, whose | brother is on the staff of General Wash- ington. He saves the life of her brother, who disguises himself and visits the house, and she accidentally wounds him while struggling for the possession of a | pistol. Pity turns into love and all ends happily. Whittlesey is an ideal lover, and as the dandy major, with a touch of the brogue, he is simply irresistible. His personal appearance is very much in his favor in the part of the dashing and gal- lant guardsman, and he suits it admir- ably. George Oshourne as his friend and comrade, Captain Gregory, with his bach- elor instincts, was most effective and con- vincing. Albert Morrison gave a most commendable representation of the part of Captain Henry Townshend of General ‘Washington's staff, playing it with rare judgment and spirit. Walter Belasco was excellent as Sambo, servant at Town- shend's, and H. D. Byers as Colonel Jen- nison was also very good. Miss Bertha Creighton as Pamela Townshend, the fair rebel, was very charming and earned un- stinted applause. She has taken a leading place in the hearts of the Aléazar pa- trons. Miss Oza Waldrop as Cynthia Deane was sweet and winning, and Miss Marie Howe as Mrs. Townshend was 2 dignified matron. The other parts were well sustained. The singing of “Sally in Our Alley”” was a feature of the perform- ance. The plece is finely staged. Central. The sensational comedy-drama, “On the Stroke of Twelve,” thrilled and delighted a crowded house at the Central Theater last night and evoked even more enthusi- asm than did “The Man Without a Coun- try.” The scene of the blowing up of the son at midnight and the escape of the hero who had been convicted, on perjured testimony, of a crime committed by scoundrels who are in league to dispos- sess him of an estate, is intensely excit- ing; while the fire scene in the fourth act with all its realism, its tongues of flame and tumbling walls, and the rescue of the heroine at the risk of life, is spectacular in the extreme. In the story a pair .of villains conspire to ruin a young man with the object of getting possession of his father's estate. The victim is charged with a crime of which he is innocent, convicted and sent to prison. His wife and child are driven out into the cold world to starve. The prisoner longs to escape that he may be revenged for his broken life. He overhears a plot of the convicts 6 blow up the prison ‘“on the stroke of midnight,” and he makes his escape in a sensational manner. In the end he brings the guilty ones to justice and rescues his wife and child from the cruel fate that threatened them. “On the ’ corner; | s the amorous old English lord, Sir | The play deals with revolu- | four acts, | BUTCHERS END THEIR STRIKE Is Over in Los Angeles. Agreement Is Reached by Employers and Union Members. Pt S Al Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, June 8.—At a meeting to-night of representatives of the Maler Packing Company and officers of the Butchers' Union, which continued until after midnight, an agreement was reached and the butchers’ strike was declared off. The result was reached by compromise, the exact terms of which have not been made public. It was learned, however, that most of the discharged union men are to be reinstated, but not those the discharge of whom caused the trouble. A revised set of shop rules is to be pre- pared. There is to be no recognition of the union and no increase of pay to all persons engaged in the same grade of work, the pay to be dependent on the ability of the workmen. Other unions affected by the strike were | notified to-night of the settlement and | the temporary meat famine is over. o e e Stroke of Twelve” has an unusually good comedy element, and Elmer Booth, who reappears at the Central after a season’s | absence with the Florence Roberts com- | pany, made an immense hit by his clever | interpretation of the character of the | over-cautious Hebrew money lender, | while Ernest Howell as the negro servant {and Maurice Stewart in an Irish charac- | ter contributed materially to the amuse~ ment. Landers Stevens and Edwin T. | Emery divided honors in the heroic parts, and Harry Shumer carried the role of heavy villain with great success. Eugenie Thais Lawton in the part of the heroine gave a most excellent portrayal and Georgie Cooper and Edith Angus were in their respective parts. Carl Berch and George P. Webster made the most of short but effective roles. The play is a strong one and the scenic effects elaborate. There were numerous curtain | calls and the reception accorded “On the Stroke of Twelve” indicates that it will | have a big week's run. | | i | good | | Fischer's. At Fischer's Theater last night the | Typothetae held full sway. It was the | final production of “Fiddle-Dee-Dee.” | The play went with tremendous snap and | vim, and was received with shouts of | laughter and thunders of applause by the great audience that packed the place to its utmost limit. In addition to the pro- | gramme, W. E. Stevens, a member of the ‘ society, contributeda song The programme | was a most elaborate affair and was a | fine display of typographical skill. The | different pages, all works of art, were | contributed by the leading engraving and | printing establishments and were bound | together in pamphlet form, making a sou- venir of rare beauty. The front page was humorous in design. It represented Bar- ney Bernard in the act of setting type, and Kolb pulling down the lever of an | ola-fashioned Guttenburg printing press, { while Dill was standing close by inking up the form. The committee of arrange- | | ments was composed of E. G. L. Hoeber, | Louis Meyer and Julius Gabriel. | To-night “Twirly Whirly" will be pro- | duced for the first time with great atten- tion to scenic display and costuming. Grand Opera-House. Full of snap and ginger is “In Wash- | ington,” which is in its second week at | the Grand Opera-house. It was greeted | | by a large crowd last night. The best | evidence of its popularity and worth was | the number of times the principals were | called upon to repeat their various stunts. Raymond and Caverly are comedians of | | the first water and they get out of their | lines, or rather the twisting of their lines, | considerable laughter-provoking stuff. | Cheridah Simpson has not as much to do | | as she might have, but does enough to | make her a favorite. Other favorites are | | Louise Moore, Olive Ulrich and Martha | de Ray. They and Herbert Sears, Harold | | Crane and Charles Allison are good fun- | makers. The choruses, with pretty and | | shapely girls, are the most pleasing fea- | tures of the entire show. | | Columbia. { E. H. Sothern in “If I Were King" | opened his second week at the Columbia i last evening to a crowded house. The in- | | terest in the play does not seem to have | diminished and the applause was as | | hearty as’ever. Sothern in the leading | | role never seems to tire, and he threw as uch enthusiasm into the part last even- | ing as when he opened. The entire cast | is well balanced and the production is one | | of the most elaborate that has ever been brought to this city. | Orpheum. Hanlon and sons, whose appearance at the Orpheum had to be postponed until last evening on account of the non-arrival of their baggage, had an original and amusing turn, which took the house by storm. A big lot of trick scenery is a feature of their performance. The Lutz brothers are still by far the most popular entertainers on the bik. The Rixfords, Harry Le Clair and Hale and Francis are others who have something particularly good to offer. - Tivoli.

Dodge and Mattie Bennett, who eloped a weej ago, were brought to the county jall. The girl, who is 17 years of age, is the daugh- ter of C. H. Bennett, an engineer at the Guadalupe mines. Dodge, who is 29, came from Lake County a few months ago and secured work at the mines. The young man and pretty Mattie fell in love, against the wishes of the girl's father. Bennett secured a position for his daughter near this city, hoping to break up the love affair. Dodge left the mines, and last Monday he drove out and got the girl. They went to San Francisco, and from there to Reno, Nev., where they were married Tuesday. Bennett swore to & warrant for the arrest of Dodge. From Reno Dodge and his wife went to Halfmoon Bay, where he secured work in Bardin’s shingle mill. The couple were arrested there to-day by Deputy Sherift Starbird and brought to this city. Mrs. | Dodge called up her father over the tele- phone this evening and he forgave her. Later he visited the jail and secured Dodge's release, declaring he would not | prosecute them. ——re————e Missing Hermit Probably Dead. SAN JOSE, June S.—The body of the unknown an found on Stevens Creek yesterday is believed to be that of James Corliss, who lived a sort of hermit life in that vicinity and disappeared several months ago.

Grauman’s, The programme at Grauman’s Theater, now a high-class vaudeville house, giving two performances daily, pleased a large audience last night. Frank , the old-time minstrel favorite, held the stage droll stories and excellent singing; Christy and Willis, the “tramp jusgler and premidre dan- use,” made a distinct hit, and Hayward and Hayward had a smart talking and musical act. Fern Melrose displayed a Iyric_soprano voice to good advantage; the Wilson family of colored eritertainers were amusing in “A Blackville Spelling Bee,” and Marsh Craig, a supple contor- tionist, tied himself into seemingly inex- tricable knots. Devaney and Allen, in a minstrel act, “Fun on a Plantation,” Clinton Montgomery in illustrated songs and the bioscope, showing Interesting moving pictures, completed a really ex- cellent bill. Grauman’s will undoubtedly prove a popular place of amusement. Chutes. Melntyre and Primrose, the first named a son of James Mcintyre of the famous team of McIntyre and Heath, made a hit at both performances at the Chutes yes- terday in their singing and talking act. Kraton, an expert hoop roller, was well received, and Jessie Dale in illustrated songs, the Aldeans, comedy acrobats; the Spraguellos, novelty musicians: Leon{ and Leoni, aeriglists, and the animatoscope, with new ving pictures, completed the bill. The amateurs will appear Thursday night. ISSS has not heard of 448, §.
