The scenic effects were on a larger scale than usual and the cast of characters was specially large, nearly 100 performers ap- pearing upon the stage at once. The subject was the story of Monte- zuma, the Asztec chief of olden times, whose picturesque life exploits and down- fall and subsequent sacrifice to the god of the sun were vividly and ably depicted through the lyrics of Robertson, the sire of the jinks, and the unusually character- jstic melodies of Dr. H. J. Stewart. The brunt of the hard work of prepara- tion fell upon the shoulders of Robert Aitken, the sculptor, who had given his entire time and energy for several weeks past to make the production an artistic success Mr. Altkin, who was stage manager, went up on Tuesday, taking elaborate scenery and costumes speclally designed by himself. Every detail had been given scrupulous attention. A new feature of this year's production was the back- ground of a large pamoramic drop cur- tain, representing an Asztec settlement On previous occasions arising hill cov- ered with trees served as a background. In the principal role, which he played Jast night, Mr. Aitkin was as little ham- pered by habiliments as a year ago, when he created the artistic sensation of the jinks as the Indian runner, who made a wild zigzag run down the wooded hill to the front of"the stage with the limelight playing upon his bronzed figure. > S0 Jack Wilson took up his abode at the grove a week in advance of the jinks and rehearsed busily, as he took a prin- cipal part in the high jinks with Dick rrael Al 5111110 §— Hotaling, who also distinguished him- self. With the closing tableau, which was the fice to the god of the sun—the “piece of the evening, the audi- ence and performers adjourned to anether part of the grove and had an extensive and soul-warming banquet When this was finished all were in a fit humor to appreciate the witticisms and travesties of Porter Garnet's low jinks which fol- sac de resistance” lowed. He, Yke Mr. Aitkin, has devoted himself assiduously to the success of these jinks The frailties of a few members of the club were brought out in ludicrous and side-splitting portrayal. Mr’ Wilson bore the thrusts with much good humor, for his thrilling adventures in the Yosemite during the recent visit of President Roose- velt were parodied with great cleverness. Mr. Jorgenson, the artist, was no mean second In bearing the witticisms from Mr. Garnet's faclle pen. This interesting scene discovers characters representing Mr. Wilson and Mr. Jorgenson putting up triumphant arches of welcome for the President. Mr. Aitkin also Is not spared and the startling poses in imitation of his most famous statues were excruciat- ingly funny. A score of millionaires might get lost in the city of New York, but they certain- ]y make & brilliant showing at Del Monte. It seems almost a pity that they are so far removed from the madding crowd, many of whom would stand on tiptoe by the hour to get a good look at these peo- ple, and to realize that multi-millionaires actually eat and live like others—or as they, themselves, would like to do. Among the people of fortune at Del Monte are the Francis Carclans, the Willilam Irwins, James Phelan, Mrs. nor Martin, the M. H. de Youngs, Mrs. J. Parker Whitney, the Misses Cudahy of Chicago, the Willlam Burton Harrisons, the J. A. Folgers, Miss Dolbeer, J. H Dwight, vice president of the State Sav- ings Bank, Chicago: Charles W. Clark, son of the copper king: J. H. Hately of Chicago, ‘the E. §. Rothschilds, the C. E. Wordens, the Louis Schwabachers and W, Haas. oi B v Mrs. Frank Carolan is nothing if not individual, and wears exquisite gowns with a style quite distinctive. She is per- haps a little like Mrs. Patrick Campbell in her slender figure, the simple lines of her gowns and her black hair, parted in the middle and wayed back over the ears. This style of low hairdressing, which is again regaining popularity, was intro- duced in the West last winter by Mrs. Willlam K. Vanderbilt Jr. White lace gowns are chosen by Mrs. Carolan for evening wear, and she possesses many ex. quisite creations in all varieties of rare lace. Mrs. Carolan has the good taste to wear very few jewels and these simple but expensive gowns—usually a single string of pearls about her throat. PR AT Miss Celia Tobin, who is# the only daughter at present under the maternal roof at California and Taylor streets, is one of the most accomplished young women in society. She is an excellent whip and rides as well as her brothers play polo. Miss Tobin is also a good planiste, her beautiful interpretations at the saflors’ charity concert last winter having won much admiration from her appreciative listeners. ;3 8 Walter Martin gave an elaborate din- ner on Wednesday evening in the break- fast room at Hotel Del Monte. Covers were laid for thirty guests and the table was lavishly decorated with cut flowers, Among those present were: Mrs. Eleanor Martin, the Frank Carolans, the Rudolph Spregkels, Miss Virginia Joliffe, the Billy Irwins, the J. A, Folgers, Mrs. Towne and Mrs. Worden, James Phelan, Mrs, Morgan, Miss Morgan and Miss Therese Morgan, the Burton Harrison Jrs. & Jeiee Young Templeton Crocker is the most reckless chauffeur who has thus far escaped with his life. He flies about De] Monte in a large, high-speed machine with the confidence of a fatalist. He takes his friends to and from the races. He re cently came near having an accl- dent like the Fairs and his anxlous friends insist that, having so much to live for, he should be more careful with his auto- mobile very o ek The earthquake last Sunday evening caused more prayers to be said by people in ultra-fashionable soclety than had been heard—at least after dinner—for many a day. To pray, and pray fast, seemed to be the first thing people thought of when the walls began to tremble and the second shock continued longer than usual. One worthy woman of years now at Del Monte not only prayed herself, but instructed her mald to take up her rosary and do likewise. o'l wk Miss Josephine Loughborough will leave in early autumn for New York City, where she will visit her sister, Mrs. Allen Wallace. Since her return from Napa County early in the season Miss Lough- borough has been spending a quiet sum- mer in town, and therefore will be in a position to appreciate the delights of Gotham. Mrs. Wallace will entertain ex- tensively for her sister during her visit. Mrs. Walter Martin’s horsemanship is her chief accomplishment. Only a few days ago she managed four horses with skillful hands, driving a party of friends at Del Monte. She was hatless and her face became ever rosier than usual i the cold wind . s e Mrs. Clinton Worden lives in white, which may have something to do with the D ‘»\ — | | | ly — - P e R | Well-Known Society Girl, Who Is a Pianiste o e fact that she looks younger this year than ever. She wears white shirt waist suits during the day, of course. (Nearly everybody does at Del Monte.) Her even- ing gowns are light and vastly becoming. Her white lace confections are particu- larly lovely. o len . Miss Russell, whose engagement to Clement Tobin has just been announced, is at Del Monte with her mother and stepfather, the De Sablas. Her fiance, who is also at the hotel, is very devoted to her. Miss Russell Is a tall blonde witn a Gibsonesque figure and considerable beauty. She will. be decidedly beautiful in her bridal robes of white. . fe Tom McGrew, a brother of Mrs. Cooper, has gone to Paris. While passing through this city he was entertained extensively and made a short stay at Del Monte, where he was seen with Mr. Greenwood and Mr. Earle. Mr. McGrew has resigned his position with the bank of Bishop & Co., Honolulu, and will remain abroad three years. 4 e e e Mrs. Burton Harrison gave a Spanish dinner at Monterey last 'rhundn? even- e ———— f Note and a Daring Horsewoman and a Social Favorite, Who Is Going East : e eeeeeeeee— ing. Fourteen guests were _hospitably entertained and returned later in their various traps and brakes, comprising a delightful coaching party by the light of the moon. wiile. e \ Mr. and Mrs. Burton Hu’r}lwn Jr. (nee Crocker) are at Del Monte. A few days ago Mrs. Harrison gave a picnic for a dozen friends. The merry party drove to a secluded spot, supplied with an elabo- rate luncheon, and two butlers to serve the viands. . o One volce missed at the jinks last night was that of Billy Hopkins, who has al- ways helped out the performance with his- glorious voice and jovial manner. This year he enjoyed the affair as a spec- tator—a pleasure which his good nature has well earned. . v . F. Saunders Foster, Charles Wiggins, Charles Bingley Clark and J. E. Rodgers, all of St. Louls, have just returned from Mexico, where they own one of the rich- est mines, the Carro Verde, of which Ed- ward H. Hoag has just been appointed general manager and superintendent. Mr, Hoag is a graduate of Berkeley, 9. € 8 Mrs. Robert W. Campbell and Miss Ger- trude Campbell gave a luncheon Thurs- day at the Grill in honor of Miss Bessie Taylor and Hermann Meyer, whose wed- ding will take place September 2. The bride’s home, 1911 Pine street, will be the scene of the nuptials. . . s . Miss Ella Bender and others have been guests of Charlie Fleld at his camp mear Guerneville. . . .
