With an occasional bright line here and there the dialogue is forced and flippant, and altogether, with material, with which with fresh and piquant handiing some- thing might have been made, Miss Ryle has achieved here only a doubtful s cese. Richard Arbuthnot i= a Goodwin part, laboriously Goodwin. It is the busheled light, self-sacrificing, humorously sen- timental kind of role in which we have become accustomed to seeing Mr. Good- win.

Miss Julia Dean, who returns to us as Mr. Goodwin's leading lady, wiih every charm accentuated, makes a thoroughly graceful Florence Arbuthnot. Miss Dean shows increased power all along the line, her climax in the fourth act, where she discovers Winnifrith's guilt, revealing an unsuspected emotional capacity. She is charmingly gowned in the role and look- ing prettier than ever. Winnifrith is played by Fred Tiden, in possibly more than necessarily offensive fashion. Naturalness and strengh are both achieved by J. R. Crawford Jo- seph Pinner, and the rest of the cast is acceptable, with particular mention of | Miss Zeffie Tillbury as Sally Sartoris, Miss Alma Pratt, if they will| only have faith in Lydia E.| Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. «] feel it my duty to tell all young women how much Lydia E.

The Central Theater scored one of the most pronocunced hits in its history last night with M. B. Curtis in his famous original comedy drama, “Sam’l of Posen.” The house was packed, in the audience being hundreds of theater-goers who had | witnessed the production years ago, with the same star in the title role. That the actor has lost none of his skill and the play none of its capacity to please was demonstrated by the immense success which characterized the production.” The present success of the play 1s due in part &0 the fact that Mr. Curtis has introduced as becomingly laid on since | or the first time | not new, though age is | | garet GOODWIN’S GENIUS FAILS TO REDEEM A WEAK PLAY 2IYBTLE § VANL - CENTEAL THEATEA | e e OF THE POPULAR AT- | TRACTIONS TO BE SEEN AT LOCAL THEATERS. mannerisms or gesticulations of the or 1= from which he made his study. Sam'l is a rough sort | of hero, who is always the central figure. In Mr. Curtis grady both in talk and manners as he goes from the eet peddler to the loud drummer with | an extravagant expense account. Miss Albena de Mer, who supports Curtis and figures as the French adventuress, is a dectdedly clevery woman in action, dialect and general work. Miss Myrtle Vane made her first appearance at this theater in the part of Rebecca and became a pronounced favorite from the start. Mar- Marshall had the humorous role of Mrs. Mulcahy, while Eugenie Thais Law- ton was gracious in the part of Ellen. | Harry Shumer as Bronson, the heavy villain, gave a capital impersonation. £ performance of more than ordinary merit | was the rendition of the role of Winslow by Carl Berch. The Jack Cheviot of Ed- win Em the Fitursze of Millar Bacc the Uncle Goldstein of Ernest Howell, the Westpoint Snowball of Elmer Booth and the Footlights of George P. Webster were | much better than the ordinary. | Alcazar. The production of “Pudd’nhead Wilson” | at the Alcazar Theater last night was a magnificent one in every respect. White | Whittlesey in the title role gave a most | marked evidence of his versatility, play- | ing the part with skill and judgment. The | character is so finely drawn that it keeps the keenest interest in the minds of the | audience from start to finish. Bertha Creighton was a revelation as Roxy and scored an eminent success. She had a Immp]o(e grasp of the subtlety of the part and carried it out most effectively. Oza Waldrop was Rov<y, and made the hit of the performance by her spirited nditlon of the loyal and courageous girl. Charles Wyngate, as Chambers, met { with a flattering reception on his reap- | pearance and was convincing and effective | in the part, and Norval McGregor, as Tom Driscoll, was a_capable villain. Albert Morrison was Howard Pembroke and gave a most commendable interpretation of the part, his makeup and dialect being excellent. Miss Marle Howe, George Os- bourne, Frank Bacon, H. D. Byers and others had congenlal parts, although small. The plece is artistically staged. Californi “The Circus Girl” commenced its sec- ond week last night at the California. It will be continued during the week. With the fall of. the curtain on Saturday night will end the Daly Musical Company’s sum- mer engagement in this city. The comedy went with a dash and swing last night. Johnny Slavin was, as usual, inimitable as Biggs, the waiter. His scans with the Terrible Turk, the giant wrestler, kept the andience in a whiriwind of laughter. Miss Marie Doro, the elf-queen, was grace and daintiness personified in the va- rious numbers allotted ner. On Sunday night Miss Nance O'Neil will appear in ‘“La Tosca.” The young California tragedienne’s proposed season at the Theater Republic was terminated abruptly by fire. The California, with its better stage facilities and its more desir- able auditorfum, will be a pleasant change from the Fifth street playhouse. Miss O'Neil will present all her former successes, Orpheum. Among the good turns at the Orpheum this week is that of Anna Wilson. Her — sweet mezzo-soprano voice earns her the plaudits of the Orpheum patrons, partic- ularly when she sings ‘‘The Last Rose of | Summer.” Frank Keenan, Georgla | Welles and Bertha-L.ong are good in *‘The Actor and the Count,” and the “Four Em- perors of Music” are the best in the mu- sical line that have been heard here in some time. Schenk Bros., Paxton's poseurs, Hanlon and Sone, and Hale and Frances complete a programme that will | be hard to surpass. i | There was scareely 1ing room at Fischer's Theater last night =o great was the crush to see “Twirly Whiriy.” Last | night there were several new features. The first, a captivating and remarkably well-executed song and dance by Miss Hope and Emerson entitled “My Starlight i Sue.” Bernard and Blake added a new | burlesque to their sketch. XKolb and DIl | are as amusing as ever and Harry Herm- | sen and his son, who plays the monkey, introduced a good burlesque. Maud Am- | ber #= content with her several songs. Olive Vail's voice is heard to better ad- vantage in “Twirly Whirly” than in “Fiddle-Dee-Dee,” and the chorus is one of the big features of the show. In all A ‘Whirly™ is the best of the “'eber: s shows and worthy the record it is certain to make, Tivoli. “The Isle of Champagne” proved as g00d & drawing card on the second night as it did on the first, and the audience applauded to the echo the tuneful melo- dles, the catchy music, the witty dialogue and the nonsense that go to make of the Isle a pleasant bit of opera., Stevens’ coon song was encored as was his dialect in the last act in the street minstre] scene. Annie Meyers, Bertha Davis and | Caro Roma were in fine voice and spirits, | Hartman and Webb &re as funny as ever and Cunningham as big-voiced and good- natured, Grand Opera-House. The musical comedy, “In Washington,” began its ‘third week last night at' the Grand Opera-house before a large and well-pleased audience. The plece is de- vold of plot, but serves as a medium for a number of clever songs and specialties, The Esmeralda sisters are graceful dancers and Anna Wilks, who has little to do, 1s a dainty soubrette. - | acts The four new the Chutes yes- | terday all made hits and the holdovers | were even better than they were lact| week. Russell and Locke brought down the house with their songs and dances: Adeline Birchler was well recelved in her contralto solos, Delphina and Del. mora gave an amusing and pleasing mu. sical act and Marsh Craig proved one of the best contortionists ever seen in the city. Mclntyre and Primrose, sing- ing and talking comedians; Kraton, the wonderful hoop roller, and the animato. scope with nmew moving pictures com- pleted one of the best bills seen at the Chuteg in many a day. The amateurs | will appear on Thursday night. —_———— Says Company Is Careless. | Harrison Dibblee, in a suit for $5000 | damages ‘filed by him yesterday against the Southern Pacific Company, alleges that he was damaged to that extent by the carelessness of the company. He charges that he bought a ticket entitling him to passage from this city to Lom- poc and that after he got aboard the train he requested the porter to call him at Furth, at which place he was to change cars for Lompoc. He alleges that the porter did not call him and that be- cause of his oversleep he micsed an im- portant business engagement, —_————— Smuggled Cigars Seized. Five thousand cigars werc seized yes- terday on the steamship Sierra by Cus- toms Inspectors as smuggled goods. The cigars were not on the ship’s manifest, but the barber in whose quarters they were found declared ey were for sale by him on shipboard only, and were not intended to be landed. ! ular among the members of the fire de-| | that death resulted from natural causes SABBATH DAY THEIR CONGERN Clergy Take Steps To- ward Promoting Its Observance. Deplore Tendency Toward Its Desecration by the Populace. —_— A meeting of various ministerial bodies was held yesterday morning at the audi- torium of the Young Men’'s Christian As- soclation for the purpose of organizing | a State Sabbath Association aux- illary to the National Sabbath Union. The Rev. Dr. John 'l". Wills, | pastor of the Franklin-street Pres- byterian Church, was elected chairman, and the Rev. Dr. Freeman D. Bovard, | editor of the California Christian Advo- | cate, accepted the position of secretary. After the singing of hymns by Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Baker, the “blind evangelist singers,” Dr. Wills eaid that the people of California did not observe the Sabbath | as they should and to attain the object of the meeting it would be necessary 2s | a first step for those present to organize | as an assoclation to encourage and pro- mote the true spirit of Sabbath observ- ance. The Rev. F. K. Baker moved the fol- lowing r tution, which was seconded by the Rev. H. H. Bell and carried unani- mously: . Whereas, We are consclous of the great | importance of the Sabbath institution In the | regeneration of the human race, and | Whereas, We are fully and painfully aware of the sad fact that our State is without any Sabbath legisiation, and that there is but little recognition of the Sabbath institution In f our midst, and that there is an increasing tende; to trample this sacred institution beneath the feet of the thoughtless and the careless and_the unbelieving; and Whereas, We are without any State organ- ization whose purpose is to guard and pro- tect this sacred day from further encroach- ments by the enemy and to promote the true spirit of the Sabbath observance; therefore, Ke»olved(Thaz we, the ministers of San Francisco fand other ‘bay cities, in a union meeting, do proceed to form an organization to be known as the California State Sabbath | Association, auxiliary to the American Sab- bath Union, whose object shall be Lo promote | the true spirit of Sabbath observance in every possible and legitimate way.
