LIAN RUSSEZ.L LILLIAN RUS! | THA'T BEFORE WHOSE WOR PLAYGOERS OF THIS COU WITH THE THE TRY. WEBER AND FIELDS COMEDIANS LAST NIGHT PROVED BEST PRESERVED WOMAN NOW | | | last night—laughed during the climax of the play of ““Alexander the Great. It was in the last act of the piece, when the regal Alexander lay in the grip of poison and Perdiccas was at | his triumph. This man, with' the Transvaal gem glittering f his shirt front, would laugh at his moth- er’s funeral. He has no m soul than a rat. It is not a great tragedy, the “Alex- nder”; it is not of the rank of the| recent “Solomon” or “U. * but it { i front there was apparent disposition to | "ind is yet a strong tragedy® worthy to hold | ts place among true dramas of the class. It has the true ring of thatj art which *‘chastens the soul through pity and through fear.” The theme is | n exaited one and the workmanship well nigh adequate to the theme. Were it not for the anti-climatic fourth act, wherein stage business has | to be invoked to sustain the tenor of | the upward movement, “Alexander the Great” would itself be great. At the hands of Warde and James the tragedy vields all that is best in it. James, the impetuous, indomitable Alexander, pausing only at the snowy of the world, and Warde, the subtle, scheming minister whose am- bition is only excelled by his craft— these two are at their best in Hughes and Kemper's tragedy. So many times s has this twain acted together that its efforts have been schooled to har- monize and blend so that the. one member of it is the foil for the other. There is no jar brought about by in- congruities in the ensemble. James, the Spartacus, the Caesar, feels somewhat out of his element, es- pecially as to girth about the girdle, when he has to appear as the youth Alexander in the first act, but when the unity of the tragedy allows him to play the more mature part of the soldier-conqueror in succeeding acts, he is much more at home. His oppor- tunity comes at the climax of the third act when it is his will against that of his minister. Warde, carrying the more difficult part, has the entire five acts for his field. His acting is subdued through- out the drama, until the final catas- trophe gives him the opportunity for rare skill. There he displays it with his old-time art. Few situations, such as that death scene, have offered ‘Warde the chance for powerful acting. Miss Alma Kruger and Miss Engel Summner do not have %he opportunity to assert their powers to any great ex- tent. The Roxane of Miss Kruger is a trifle too ingenuous at times. On the other hand Miss Sumner’s Cleo- patra is wont to demand for herself too much of the stage on occasions. The staging of the piece is perfect. Both as to costumes and scenery.there is a satisfying background for the ac- tion. One.fault, however, which could be remedied by the scene painter: the statue of Ammon in the seécond act is a speaking likeness of John D. Rockefeller. John might object. Fischer's, “Roly Poly’’ scored a big success at Fischer's Theater last night and de- gervedly so, for it is brimful of pretty music, comical situations, handsome costumes and brilliant stage effects. Lee Johnson, a local musicfan, com- | of the piece and in it Miss Lynch does posed’ the music of the pieee, which savors of some of his former successes. Nellie Lynch made her San Francisco debut in the comedy and at once won the favor of the large audience present. Her first song, “Dora,” was gracefully rendered and its effect was heightened with the aid of a little coon—Fronie Kruse—who makes his appearance in a huge watermelon. Miss Lynch was the Flea,” which earned so many calls that she made a little soeech, which she thanked everybody. specialty with Ben Dillon, ‘Come Back, My Babhe,” was one of the hits re- in a remarkable acrobatic stunt. Dillon as ever reliable in the part of Foxy Flanagan and his rollicking Irish song with a chorus of clever girls set every bady's feet to keeping time. Helen Russell displavs some heautiful gowns and sings in a way to win the plaudits of her hearers. Her acting has im- proved since her first appearance. Kolb and Dill are certainly the King their work causes continuous ter in the plece. Thelir scene with Allen Curtis, in which they sing “We Come DR.

As the play | was devised as a laugh producer and has no other reason for existence, it is possibly not to be considered in any | other way, for it is pretty near nothing considered from any other point of view. Although it carries the name of | Parisian, it might just as well have its scene laid in New York or in San Fran- | co, for that matter. It all about a | “night out,” in which a henpecked hus- | | | | | { band and the wife of another man are in company at a French hotel, and all the lines snarl up these two people. | The business is to prevent them from being detected. The by-play is funny at times. There are funnier plays, | many of them, but few as given in this city have had a better cast for what might be called team work. Maher was the chief fun creator. George Osbourne | and Harry S. Hilliard justified their places in the play by the fun that they put out. Adele Blc and Marie Howe | were the wives who figured. Miss Block’s work in the last act was about on even terms with Maher's, Central. “In Sight of St. Paul's,” produced at the Central “Theater last night, was particularly unmoral and vicious, even to the gallery gods. It taught a story that the love for a bad woman was worth the sacrifice of human lives and that only the restoration of wealth was worth while. The play is one of those villainesque productions where the bad man tells the hero not to struggle, be- cause he has been taking iron pills and has a wrist of steel. There is no actual plot to. the play beyond the fact that one man is stabbed in the back by a| thief and another, an erring one, is shot from a balcony. All of these are bad lessons for the youth that frequent the Central. The play is staged quite well*and the variety of scenery and the rapidity of its changes are the wonder of it. Even an uninteresting dialogue was not proof against the excellent staging and plentiful applause greeted the different ehanges. Chutes.
