ACTING | She Portrays an Unlovely Character in a Way That Compels Hearty Curtain Calls SRR “But, my dear, why should elope—it's so entirely unnecessary?"” That is what one married woman asks another married woman in “The Degenerates,” adopted as a keynote to the sentiment of the play. Sydney Grundy wrote erates” and Mrs. Langtry and her com- pany appeared in it last evening at the Columbia before a large audience tastily attired and quite interested. The | | intended to hit off | piece was evidently the moral slipshodness of British up- per-tendom. If the men and women it depicts were faithfully drawn London society The men are soulless roues and women conscience sirens. If playwright had treated them strictly as such his work might not have passed the censor; but he ingeniously inter- loyalty an incongruous sense of mawk- ish honor that relieves to some extent their moral unworth. The man who coldly plots to rob his host of both fortune and wife is treated as a pretty 2ood fellow in all other respects, The oman who proclaims herself incur- jly bad becomes suddenly virtuous and inconsistently maternal at mention of the name of the daughter whose ex- | istence she has just deplored as a han- dicap in her race for forbidden pleas- ure. That's the woman Mrs. Langtry portrayed. But the acting was good—and aside from its theme the play was geod. Most of the dialogue was rapid-fire repartee, with an epigram in almost and the situations were of the kind that gradually develop the clement of suspense until an effective climax makes one forget the shortcom- ings of the characters and involun- tarily clap one’s hands.

One woman—a confessed wanton—sac- rificing her self-interest to save the reputation of a woman whose husband she had enticed—is an improbable thing, but Mrs. Langtry’s acting made | it appear so probable and the character | she assumed so forgivable, that she got f a dozen hearty curtain calls and would surely have got more if she had not stopped the clamor by delivering a gpeech. The speech wasn't a scintil- lating gem of impromptu oratory, but delivered with an apparent sin- that more than compensated for | its lack of sounding periods. “I love San Francisco and its people and its climate,” she said, *“and I wonder how I could have afforded to stay away from your dear city so long. But I shall come back within & year.” —————————— Garnett Writ Dismissed. | The application for a writ of habeas for the release of Alexander charged with the murder v J. W.

THE ; PRESIDENT .OF THE POS- | TAL PROGRESS LEAGUE. | . 2 & et | Progress League Holds Mass- Meeting and Adopts Resolutions. A, SN A mass-meeting under the auspices of the Postal Progress League was heJd at the Alhambra Theater night, and resolutions advocating a change in the existing parcels regulations adopted. Governor who was cxpected to preside at the meeting, was unable to be present, and post Hugh Craig, former president of the! Chamber of Commerce, acted in his stead. Mr. Craig introduced Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of the Univer- sity of California, who spoke in part as follows: “This is the beginning movement, and at present the work is purely educational. The present arbi- trary rules of the Government regard- ing the rates in parcels are an injury to the people. I could never under- stand why, when the Government went into the business of handling packages, it should say ‘thus far thou go and no further.” of a new | England carry packages cheaply and | that it would be impossible to carry on | the aiternative of serving we carry them at the same rate at this end, but why should we not carry them at the same rates for ourselves.’ PEOPLE'S INTERESTS. The speaker said that some persons | had dissented with his views, stating such an enterprise without official cor- ruption. In reply he stafed that the United States Government is at pres- ent successfully conducting the Treas- ury at Washington and that the recent postal scandals may not have been as black' as they were painted. clusion the speaker said: “The inter- ests represented here are pre-emi- | nently the people’s interests. The fruit | ma; not be borne in this year or the but it is bound to come.” Edward Berwick, president league, was the next speaker. He ex- hibited a number of charts comparing the rates of postage on parcels in for- | eign countries with those of the United | | States. His figures showed that the rates in all the countries named were much lower than in the United States ! and that also heavier packages were | permissible. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. Others followed in a similar vein, and a committee consisting of Messrs. R. B. Hale and Fred Dohrmann was appointed on finance, after which the following resolution was adopted: ‘Whereas, In the matter of a domes- | last | Pardee, ! shalt | Germany and In con-! of the!
