Zvore - EWLY labeled, retrimmed and generally made over Georges Ohnet's “Le Maitre des Forges' last night made another reap- pearance as ‘“The Aftermath,” this time arranged by Henry Miller. Pinero, Pritchard and not a few famous others have tried their hand at adapting the Ohnet romance, and people like Jane Hading and Coquelin have ever been found ready to play it. In the dearth of new plays the return of Mr. Miller and Miss Anglin to “The Ironmaster” is not surprising. There is much in the play to commend it as a medium for both of these clever people, and Mr. Miller has made a | smooth and easy running version of the story. The new dramatist claims little origin- ality for his editlon. Rather a ‘pot- pourri” of book and other versions, he Perhaps the chief dif- pbrase, though Mr. Miller has by no means taken ail the stilt out of the talk. The language Is still rather balloony, the sentence over long, the phrase o'er flow- ery. The outline of the original story, the love of the ironmaster for the grande dame, is closely adhered to. There are, however, several happily introduced inecl. dents of lighter character thet serve to Not joyfully indulged in. The troubles of that very damp yvoung person Claire are still good for a tremen- dous lot of more or less deserved sympa- thy, as last night's reception of the play proved. And there are still the strong scenes to rely upon. The scene between the decelved bridegroom and his newly made bride counts yet the plenteous thrill, and the scenes between the flirting Duch- ess and Claire, between Claire and her old lover, not to forget the duel episode. are all in the class of self-raising sentl- ! ment. True, Mr. MiTier and Miss Anglin deserve better things. There 1s about the whole story a radical theatricallsm, a falsencss of values, & lack of the subtle veritles of life with which these two are so competent to deal, that thelir time with “The Aftermath” is much in the nature of waste. Still, as it is not life but enter. tainment that the average playgoer de- sires, the play will doubtless be a consld- erable success. It was last night. Need- less to say, the staging is of admirable sort and the gowns are dreams. It will be remembered that Claire has four acts of unmitigated dampness to support. If this daughter of a hundred earls (French) is not in one sort of trouble she iIs in another. It is, howeve: the kind of role catalogued as *strong’ and has the aforementioned strong scenes that with some relief would only gain sirength. That Miss Anglin does every- thing possible for the part goes without saying. compelling full sympathy for the rather ungrateful character. She realizes delicately the ruling pride of the girl, and paints with sure and fine touch her warming into tenderness and love. Her scene with Derblay (Mr. Miller), the bridegroom, is handled with conscious power, coming into full touch with one's sympathy. She invests even the banal scene of rivalry between Claire and the Duchess with dignity and conviction, playing the part throughout for all it is worth. In Derblay, the sensitive, high-minded master of the forges, Mr. Miller wins an- other personal triumph. He has flung overboard for the nonce all the Shaw realisms, the Davis modernisms and plays the romantic old role in a properly ro- i FAVORITES WHO ARE AP- PEARING AT SOME OF THE LOCAL THEATERS. kS — i mantic old key. It is a thoroughly sin- cere and effective presentation of the part and several curtain calls at the third act's end attested the hearty appreciation of the audience. Miss Martha Waldron leaves a particu- larly pleasing Impression as the gay Baronne de Prefont. This clever young woman gains ease, lightness and strength every day. Claire Kulp, who was so effective as the child in “The Devil's Dis- ciple,”” confirmed her former good work with a natural and charming Suzanne Derblay, and Kate Pattison Selten was a sumptuous Marquise. Coquelin’s former part, the parvenu | chocolate maker, Moulinet, was done by ‘Walter Allen, who brings a dry rather than unctuous humor to the role, but was still very useful to the cast; and George 8. Titheradge In a sympathetic Bachelin | and Charles F. Gotthold as Octave both add notably to the cast’s effectiveness. This Is the last week of Mr. Miller and | Miss Anglin for this season, and this fact and the play will doubtless draw the de- served large audiences. Next week comes “The Prince of Pil- | sen.” BLANCHE PARTINGTON. Alcazar. ““Magda,” that most stirring of emo- tlonal plays, was presented in a mag- nificent manner at the Alcazar last nignt. The people of the stage made their au- dlence live and move and thrill with themselves, The production was a suc- cess slich as the little theater Las seldom known. At times the listeners were spell- bound and again they were applauding wildly. After every act there was curtain call after curtain call. There was life and action in_every line of the play as it was rendered and the harmonious char- acter of the work of the players was truly remarkable. | To Florence Roberts. who occupied the title role, of course belongs most of the credit. Her, leadership made it easy for the others to follow and her fire and spirit were infectlous. She has never ap- peared to better advantage in San Fran- cisco than in the second and third acts of “Magda’’ last night. William Yerance, the father and martinet, did himself proud. He came in for a good share of the applause and de- servedly. Lucius Henderson played the part of the self-abnegated pastor splen- didly. Howard Scott also!distinguished hi 1f in the part of the blissfully selfish councillor. He was applauded vigorously in spite of the extremely unpopular role. Fanny Young as aka was ex- ceedingly funny all the wayv. Herbert Farjeon, George Bosworth, Edith Angus, Mabel Stetson and Georgie Russell also created amusement occasionally when the atmosphere became a little gloomy from the accumulation of so much sorrow gver the misfortunes of the famous but erring > 4 | | i } | daughter. The rest of the cast contrib- | uted much toward the success of the per- | formance. The costumes and stage settings were both elegant and entirely appropriate. Tivoli. There is no willowy-waisted Leonora at | the Tivoli this week while Lina de Bene- | detto sings the heroine of Verdi's “Il| Trovatore.” Lina's Leonora is an ex- pansive armful of beauty and melody, | done up in an attractive package of solid | art. She can warble like a canary and the highest notes are ripe ries that she picks from the vocal tree with ease | and grace. She is* dminently ltalian In all that she does and makes the hearts of her hearers warm toward h excellent make-up has Cieo Mar- chesini, the Azucena, and a contralto rich and round with all of the fervent dra- matic quality that drawh applause out of the coldest crevices. From the opening notes of the “Stride la Vampa” to the | last ones of the prison song in act VI| she retains the vociferous sympathy of | the audience. In addition to her vocal | excellencies she Is a good actress. The star of the cast is Adamo Gre- | goretti, the Count di Luna. Adamo is| a handsome fellow and a baritone diffi- cult to match. He is equally good all| through, and his *“Il Balen” calls for | several encores, which the good-patured fellow cheerfully complies with. The Manrico of Emmanuele Ischierdo | is a trifle uneven, being passably good in | | spots and excellent in others. His sing~ ing of “Di Duelia Pira” is by far his best | | solo in the opera and he w; s obliged to | t | repeat It thrice last evening. | In Ferrando the rich, sonorous basso of | Baldo Travaglinl is heard to excellent | advantage, and although the part is but a smalt cne it Is none the less acceptable and appetizing. The minor part of Inez is taken most | cleverly by Miss Phyllis Partington of | this city. She has a graceful figure+and a sweet, sympathetic voice, which may be heard in the near future in a more pretenticus character. Central. The immense audlence that witnessed | the splendid production of the military spectacle, “The Cherry Pickers,” at the | Central Theater last night was enthusi- astic in its applause throughout, and went fairly wild at the climacteric scene in the third act, wherein an Afghan touches a match to a loaded cannon, at the mouth of which his enemy, the hero, is chained. There is a terrific explosion, but the intended victim is snatched from the jaws of death in a marvelous man- ner. The piay is full of color and replete with strong dramatic incidents and thrill- ing scenes. The action takes place in In- dia, and the piece has been given a gor- geous Oriental setting. The title is taken | \from the Eleventh British Hussars, who | lost a fight by tarrying in a cherry or- chard and were dubbed “Cherry Pickers, ‘The plot deals with a conflict between the aggressive English and the half-castes. Herschel Mayall, as the heroic half-caste | lieutenant, whoSe devotion’to a beautiful native girl draws down upon him the wrath of his superior officer, gave an ex- cellent interpretation. and was powerful- Iy effective in the broadsword duel scene and in the great gun episode. Eugenie Thais Lawton, in the exacting part of Nourmalee, for love of whom an English officer seeks the life of his half-caste rival, gave a superb impersonation, hav- ing the sympathy of the audience from first to last. Henry Shumer, in the un- grateful role of the treacherous officer, was as clever as usuval, and Edwin T. Emery furnished a pleasing Lieutenant York, gallant in love and war. As Mrs. - DODGING MISSILESSHERVY L0SS WEARISDME WORK' |5 ENTAILED A. Fitzhenry Says He Let Some Land by Way of Variety. In Suit for Divorgs He Ak leges Wife Used Him as 'a Target. Dodging cordwood, carving knives, flat- irons, chunks of coal and stovelld lifters, hurled at one’s head for more than a year, is not a pleasant way to spend one’s time. It is too monotonous. At least it is to Avthur Fitzhenry. He !aldl 8o yesterday in Judge Troutt's court dur- | ing the hearing of his suit for divorce | against Rosanna Fitzhenry. He informed | the court that as a relef he occasionally | allowed one of the missiles to land. “I| had scme good liniment, your Honor,” he said, “and the wounds soon healed. In time my head became used to being bumped by everything in the house that my wife could throw and I made no com- plaint until things came my way too often. Then I brought this suit.” | Fitzhenry is a stout young fellow, 20 years his wife's junior. He met her in Ireland, whither she had gone on a visit. | It was evidently a case of love at first | ight, for he said that Mrs, Fitzhenry paid his transportation to this country and met him here a short time after his arrival. They became husband and wife and came to this city. They were only herc a short time when they began quar- reling. His elderly wife commenced hos- tilities, sald Fitzhenry, first using her tongue and finally household utensils as | a means of showing she “ruled the roost.” | A carving knife was the last weapon she used and when this stuck in his leg he thought it about time to look for a less stormy domicile. After hearing Fitzhenry's tale of woe Judge Troutt refused to grant the mo- tion for a non-suit made by his wife and set the case for further hearing to-day at 10 o'clock. | Though married only five months, Marion Lobherr is already tired of matri- mony.

The next day, she alleges, fearing that he would carry out his threat to do her harm, she fled to her father’'s home at Ukiah. She Nira L. Dalton, whose husband, B. Dalton, is a clerk in the emplo: ter Bros., wants a divorce because, alleges, he has been cruel to her. She says he is intemperate and when in his cups abusive. They were married in April, 1895, and have two children, the custody of whom Mrs. Dalton asks for, and for $40 a month for their support. Suits for divorce were also fled Mabel Wellink against Edward Wellin for neglect. Mary E. Heldewald against W. P. Heldewald for cruelty. Joseph G t Fanny M.

Fischer’s. Another big crowd was in attendance at | Fischer's Theater last night. The “Glad Hand” and *“Con-curers” have caught on in good shape. The co- medians seem funnier than ever, and the solos and choruses are encored again and again. | An incident took place in the last act! that was quite out of the ordinary. In one of the stage boxes were a number of | well-known men about town, accompanied by fashionably attired women. Ome of their number started the fun by throw- | ing a half dollar on the stage. Others followed. Barney Bernard was the first | to grab the situation and reached for the ! coin. More dollars were thrown, and Kolb came to the rescue and scooped in what | he could. Finally Dill came from behind At | | e bar and pocketed a half. cture Maud Amber came on, be- ing greeted by a perfect shower of glit-| tering coins. She made no attempt to capture any of them, being content to | gaze upon the headlight diamond that the court had awarded her during the day The chorus, however, joined in a merry scramble, and It was a case of catch-as- | catch-can.

The company presenting it is a cavable one| and the farce one that is capable of producing a laugh every minute. ¢ Chutes. John LeClair, the refined and artistic comedy juggler, headed an excellent bill at the Chutes yesterday and made a great hit at both performances. George Schindler, the wonderful harmonica solo- ist, was warmly veceived, and Henry Clive, the Australian magician, proved very puzzling with his sleight of hand work and illusions: Anderson and Wal- lace, travestists, gave scenes from “Vir- ginius” and “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"”; the Reese Brothers did some clever gun and baton manipulating; Mr. and Mrs. Morton were amusing in a sketch: May Lamson, the contralto, in new illustrated songs, and the animatoscope, showing an entire change of moving pictures, com- pleted the programme. The amateurs will appear on Thursday night. —_————— Ex-Secretary John D. Long has been made a member of the Mayflower De- scendants.

Small Boats Are Battered to Fisces and Occupants Drowned. Destruction Wrought by the Hur- ricane Is Much Greater and More Widespread Than at First Reported. — JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 4.—~Wires south of Palm Beach and Tampa are still down and will not be in operation for\ a day or so. Further details of the destruc- tion wrought by the hurricane have been received by mail and passeggers on the incoming trains. The steamer Inchulva of Liverpool, owned by the Inch Shipping Company from Galveston. laden with lumber cottonseed meal for Hampton Roads, went ashore near Boynton Friday night The ship's steering gear broke and she floated at will, striking the beach with great force and breaking Into three pleces. The captain, mates and fourteen of the crew were saved. Nime were drowned, among them the eggineer. The small boat with five men was batterad to pieces by the waves and its occupants drowned. The schooner Martha Thomas, 750 tons, Captain Watts, with a cargo of lumber from Appalachicola for Baltimore. was wrecked nine miles south of Jupiter. The schooner is split in half. The crew were all saved. At Palm Beach the damage was serious. Grunber's Opera-house was partly ur roofed, as were eight other business blocks, which were also damaged in othe ways. All the boats on the Lake Worth water front, excepting three, were wrecked and sunk. The Hotel Royal Poynclana was slightly damaged. Two llves were lost in Tampa by the storm. Louis Baron, a c'garmaker, who was struck by the “falling cornice of a buflding, died the next day. His skull was fractured. T. Y. Hunnicut, a motorman met his death near the Cuesta Ray ci factory In West Tampa. He rece i a shock from a live wire which proved fatal. In Ybor City several factorles were badly damaged. The property loss a Tampa will reach $50,000. It is estimated that half of the orange crop has been cut off around Tampa and one-fourth on the east coast. There are no wires south of Tampa and trains are delayed. What has baj pened at Punta Gorda, Punta Rassa and Myers is not known. It is rumored that Punta Rassa has been completely washe away, but no communication with th place has yet been possible. Owing to the timely warning of the Weather Bureau, all shipping remaine in the harbor after Friday morning. It is feared that the schooner Eva J Shenton, which sailed for New Orleans early Friday, has been lost. Much appre hension is felt for the steamship gobn- stone, which is reported to have salled from Mobile for Tampa last Friday. ety cnin: i ndss Chinese Fishermen Arrested.
