'This is the beginning of the -Gregoretti Amon- asro, and the rest ‘makes all: for an excellent interpretation 6f the fine role. The new barytone was recelved: with ut- most enthusiasm. * . 5 Lina de Benedetto was thie Aida of the cast and shows herself ‘a very fortunate addition to the. Tivoll's role of fame. Benedetto has a°powerful dramatic so- | prano, as round as she is, wide fn range, | and sympathetic. in- quality. ~Ifs volume | seems endless and its lower notes are of, | remarkable fullness and beauty. Not al- | ways are the-tones’quite even and occa- aally the soprano sacrifices tonal beau- ty to the-dramatic exigency, but some of her mezzo voices, are as limpidly beau- tiful as Gadski's own, and her sustained | high notes a triumph of powerful ‘sweet- | ness. The singer shows a sympathetic and vigorous dramatic sense, her make- up was good and she has a smile that is a particularly engaging asset, - She is a roly-poly liitle person.as to stage pres- . but handles Nerself “with charming new . con- tralto, and sang Amneris with much | success. Her voice shows _slight signs of wear, but is ‘a large, ‘round organ, | dramatic in quality and with low tones of exceptional power and richness. | Marchesini's acting of the role was much better than usually falls te its lot,” and | the famous scené between Amneéris and | Aida in the second act aroused much | more than its usual meed of applause. | She, too, must be reckoned: among tli | valuable members of the new .company. | The tenor, again, Ischierdo, is also well | among the best tenors - the Tivoli has known. He' is.a person of .tremendous dignity, handsome stage presence and with a bright, powerful .voice that r minds somewhat of Emilio de “Marchi’; His Radanes isdramatically also very suc- cessful, and he is the role’s best vocal ex- ponent for some years. He was applaud- ed—well, wildly, is the most modest term. Our old friend Dado, for whom a spe- cial round of plauditory greeting stopped the wheels of the opera for some mo- ments, sang the King's part, of course, Just as it should be sung. He generously stepped aside to allow the new basso, Travaglini, to make his bow as the high priest.

LORI at the of | sistent It was great opening night in point | of numbers. Every seat in the house was taken and the standing room in the rear was occupied. ‘When Florence Robe ad all the flowers that had been handed up to the stage properly arrayed they made a bank that -exténded nearly the whole width of the stage floor. She came out, put a fHendly hand upon the al emblem of the lot, on which was the inscription “Welcome Home," and made a neat little talk. “Iam glad that you are glad,” she said. “I thank you. If I shotld talk half an hour it would be but variations of that. These flowers will fade, their | perfume will fail, but the memory of this welcome will not fade; its perfume will be in my heart forever.” It 'was a Florence Roberts night in.all particulars. The stock company rallied | around her as well as the writing of the lines of the play would permit, but the star part was entirely dominant from beginning to end. The story is one of almost ‘unbroken woe. The discarded wife, who cteeps back to her home that she may see her daughter, who supposes her to be dead, this being on the daugh- er's wedding é, is the central motive. This emotional’ situation was handled | with.--much . cleverness.. Woe ranged |through the ‘gamut and.tears were commanded .at will. The work of the leading role ‘was clean cut and juditious. It caught'the audience strongly. Hope and despair-vibrated in thé lines just frequently enough to . keep the émo- tional intérest on. edge, When :the end came and .the.curtain fell. upon the play just at’the moment when all that “The | Unhappy Mrs. Hatch” -could have hoped for in the way of bliss was at hand and she died, overcome with illness, the house had lost none of its crowding au- ditors. ‘They stayed, one and all, until there was no more chance)to be stirred. Judging from all precedents and the manner in which “The Unwelcome Mrs. Hatch" was received last evening it will _have a successful run to good nightly business. It has all the pecullar twinges that inhere in' a plot that provides for -the expulsion from her home of the un- fortunate discarded wife the second time; that includes a romance in which the suffering Mrs. Match refuses to accept an eligible offer of marriage for fear that she will drag 'down the man that she has learned to love. Then there is a flicker of gayety, which soon goes out, attend- ant upon the coming of the bridesmaids to the wedding of the daughter. Also there is a scene in a park, where a lot of boys and girls do stunts in a dramatic way that takes the house for their pure ingenuousness. Marle Howe did cleverly with the part of the servant. Virginia Brissac was a nice little stage bride. Walter Belasco was in the park scene as a tramp, and is desperately made up for the part. B e e e a pleasing basso, rather of the cantante order, that he used with ample taste and ease. ¥ It should be said that the ensemble work of the evening was excellent. The principals showed a lovely familiarity with their roles, rarely stopping to regard the fraternal baton of Brother Steindorff, and the chorus work also showed the ef- fect of long and ful rehearsal. It was throughout a triumphal evening. “Lucia,” with the alternating cast, will be done to-night. BLANCHE PARTINTON. | CO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1903. TIVOLI'S GRAND OPERA SEASON OPENS WITH A SPLENDID COMPANY AND ALCAZAR AGAIN PRESENTS THE FAVORITE, FLORENCE ROBERTS g = TALENTED AND POPULAR ACTRESSES WHO ARE PLAYING AT LOCAL PLAYHOUSES AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE ENTERTAINMENT OF. THE THEATER-GOING PUBLIC OF SAN FRANCISCO. — e Foet s 5 HERE is hardly a play in the | Selten being artistic pictures of the au- extensive repertoire of Mar- | thor's - creations. As the house was garet Anglin that affords hér an opportunity of exhibiting her artistic -variety. 0 well as the interesting and -popular but impossible creation of the younger Dumas named |. from its.pringipal character, “Camiile,” the traviata, who. loves so well that she .sacrifices that love-to please the father of the loved one and plunges into sin for|. the principal purpose of disgusting the man who would redeem her and incident: ally for the replenishment of her empty purse. But despite the absurdly incon- gruous and altogether uniatural sacri- fice Camille has attained a hold on the popular heart wherever there are the- aters and theatergoers. Women wept last night with Margaret Anglin _over the love-sick sorrow or the gay Parist fenne. They not only pitied, but were willing to embrace the charming actr who with the trick of natural tears could move them almost out of the deca- logue, for Anglin's Camille is warm, human and breathing. Her exquisite art makes of the tinseled wanton an angel in robes of white samite, and the people ‘who look on shed sympathetic tears and are not ashamed nor shocked. Five cur- tain calls and a thunder shower 6f hand- clapping after the tense, heart-rendinig third act she won and won on merit. Gliding, smiling . and softly sobbing through the various phases of emotion, the gifted actress compelled the critical audience to acknowledge her power. - Mr. Miller in his excellence differs from most of the Armand Duvals that have been seen here of late years. He is | intensely in earnest and makes love to Camille as though he meant it, as though it were an important piece of business that must be transacted in a businesslike way. So likewise when his thoughts change from love to revenge upon his rival he is also terribly in ear- nest, and literally pelts the crouchihg Camille with the gold pieces as he show- ers her with contemptuous reproaches. He is splendidly enraged, picturesquely indignant, yet never overflows into the river of rant. The great fourth act is the climax of the play. - What follows is but the gentle descent toward the end. The support is worthy of all praise, 'the Monsieur Duval of George S.

This is the last week of “Quo Vass Iss” and “The Big Little Princess.” Next week another double bill of this sort of 'side-splitters | takes the boards with. all the old fayor- ites in the cast. The new musical director | of Fischer's Theater to succeed popular Harry James is Robert Hood Bowers, known in the musical world as Robert Hood. Mr. Bowers is but 2 years of age, bat has already achleved success as a composer of music. He has composed the music. for “The Paraders,” ‘“Rubes and “Tom-tom,” “The Prince Con- “Kitty Tralone,” and ‘“Thé Mum- my and the Maid,” in addition to four new productions which will be announced im the near future. Nearly all of the Besides his musical productions Mr. Bow- ers has composed more than 100" instru< mental pieces and fully as many: voeal numbers which have become very popu- lar throughout the country. Mr. Bowets has a great experience for his age as an orchestra conductor and has organized three large orchestras in. the Middle States which are still in existence. “The Tenderfoot,” the musical comedy now running in Chicago with great success, was scored for orchestra by Mr. Bowers. To-Day’s Symphony. The programme for. this afternoon’s symphony concert is especially interest- ing as it contains four compositions of great musical value. The overture of the concert will be the famous “Flying Dutchman Overture’”- by Wagner, and there will be two symphonies. One of tbese will be Mozart's E flat major sym- | where he summoned several laborers an | hardly necessar: | Overture,” | tallyhos and victortas. phony- and the other will be the well known “Unfinished Symphony” by Schu- LOVELORN PAIR JUMP INTO RIVER Tie Hands Together and Drop Into the Water From Bridge. ——— Man Repents and Swims to Shore, Dragging Woman With Him. PSR Spectal Dispatch to The Call SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. ~13—With hands tied together Mike Brogan, a | soldier at Fort Wright, and Lulu Hoft- man, 17 years old, sought to end their love troubles this morning by jumping from the foot bridge at Natatorium Park into the Spokane River. Their jump was witnessed by a mail carrier for For Wright, who a minute before had jeered at them as they stood on the bridge. The letter carrier dashed madly into the park, a rushed back to drag the lovelorn pair from the water. Their services w because Brogan as soc as his feet touched the water, repented wriggled himself partly free from the bindings and began swimming toward shore, dragging the woman with him More dead than alive the two w dragged from the water. The you woman was rolled on the bank for a minutes and taken to the engine r at the baths, where she was gf change of garments. Brogan was p under arrest and is now in the gua house. According to the young woman, she h been smitten with Brogan, but he did reciprocate her affections. The tw. this morning and Brogan unfole s He told her that his sweetheart m story. had jilted him, that he could not love Miss Hoffman and urged that the t end their troubles by jumping from t bridge together. After an hour's urgi the girl consented to Brogan's plan. P e wa wwa ol bert. Instead of Mendelssohn's “Spri which is rather difficult, it h. been decided to substitute & new rangement of the Rheindaughter from “Rhelngold.” The novelties at this concert will be Max Schilling’s prelude to act II from Zugweide, and Edvard Grieg’s symphonic dance No. 4. These works are especia pretty and artistic and will please ever one anxious to hear good music. It ag pears that the attendance at these sym phony concerts is growing rapidly and judging from the advance sale, the at tendance will be even greater than at the last concert. Thers cannot be any doubt of the fact that Scheel is the most pop- ular and most efficient symphony con- ductor we ever had in San Francisco ar the public is manifesting this fact very forcefully just no Central. The limit of the sensational and spec- tacular was reached at the Central The- ater last night in the production on a stupendous scale of Augustin Daly’s big New York success, “The Great Ruby.” The scenes were as thrilling as the lurid posters of the play could lead one to ex- pect and the guarantees of the advance notices were more than fulfilled. The performance is elaborate and expens! There i3 a whole jewelry store for setting of the first act and in the scenes that follow the players ride about in genuine automobiles, on bieycles and in Thers are four- in-hands, single teams and saddle horses and, as if all the splendid turnouts men- tioned were not enough for the wild, mad chase, “The Great Ruby” is finally carried up in a balloon, and this balloon ascension is the gr tmax of the drama. In fact balloon scene is seldom surpassed on any for realistic effects. The two ar ators, Prince Kas (He and Morris Longman (H Schu are driven to desperation. They the priceless ruby, and to cheat suing detectives they cut loose in a bal- loon ‘which an aeronaut has left ready for flight. The city sinks below them and they quarrel as they mount up in the clouds and Prince Kassim hurls His antagonist down to destruction. This scene made the immense audience wildl enthusiastic and a half dozen curt calls followed. = The cast is a very lo one. There are forty speaking parts and over.100 people in the productioh. costumes of the lac 3 Eugenie Thais Law 1 ¢l charming Lady, Garnett, ambitious to shine in the smart set, @nd Miss Genevieve Kane was as very effective as the adventuress. “The Great Ruby” is the kind of a perform ance_that the Central folk fai T 1 in. - It fills the bill in every respect and will pack the house all the week.
