Central Present Plays That Please Big Houses { | | 1 Clothed in potent verse, acted with moving sincerity and power, the story of the Magdalen was last night retold | by Mrs. Fiske and her company of players, in Paul Heyse's noble drama, “Mary of Magdal the place being the Grand Opera-house. The audience | | was worthy of the play. Despite Lent —perhaps though, the theme consid- ered, because of it—the house was large, and the usual Fiske house. There | were ther more than those to whom the drama is the t of the hour, the for whom it is of the nobler arts, those for whom it is the very pulse and tem- per of their day. For these, “Mary of Magdala” has a high significance, and to these for all there there was in the chief interpreter an exalted thrill of passion, a al artistry, that pluces higher than even she ched, that sets her Mary of Magdala with those other passional epics, the Phedre of Bern- hardt, the Santuzza of Calve, with a larger wonder of passion purely spir itualized Not until the fourth act does one get hold of this deeper woman, but the preceding acts are then seen to have been most vitally significant of her growth. Nor until the fourth act last night did Mrs. Fiske seem fully to be herself. Then it was that the tense voice, in the preceding acts hardly of the measure of the house, came clear- | cut and thrilling. Then, too—well, one's neighbor's wife was not the only one who swallowed things. Men choked down something very like a sob as the little woman in front wept the Mag- dalen’s bitter shame. And the curtain went down on a house that kept rever- ent hands as still almost as in church. Briefly, baldly, tist's work is stupendous in scope, com- pelling in effect and nobly impres in spectacle. Mr. Heyse tells his story— or stories rather, thére are two—in five | acts. The form is blapk verse, that has been translated with keen poetic sym- pathy by that most graceful writer and able critic, William Winter. Naturall it is first to wonder how much and what of his sacred material the drama- | tist has used. As the title implies, the play is about the Magdalen, whose re- | ! But | | more powerful even in its enthralling | eration is its obvious theme. | ge suggestion is that unseen drama, inex- tricably interwoven with the first, of the ?Mtra,\al and crucifixion of the Christ. | Through the veins of the first this runs | ike a stupendous leit-motif. With the ! same haunting impressiveness as in the little “Passion Play” at Santa Clara, one feels the overshadowing presence of the Christ, with the same uplift and | ennoblement of illusion. | Of the visible characters the chief | three are drawn directly from the Scriptures—Mary, Judas and Caiphas. | The rest, of whom Aulus Flavius, a | noble Roman in love with Mary, is chief. are all imaginary. The incident, too, of the drama is largely invention, and felicitous, indeed, is Mr. Heyse's { mingling of fact and fancy. Dramat- {ically his story possesses all the re- | auirements of interest. The conflict of | emotion is of the '‘strongest possible | kind, the -plot is of the clearest, the characters are drawn with utmost skiil | and massed brilliantly, and the diction | is dignified and poetic. | Most interesting of Mr. Heyse's ichanges in the biblical story is hjs { ascription of political motives to Ju- {das for his betrayal of the Maste: | Or rather, it is to .Mr. Winter that t | insistence on this motive must be as- cribed. The German is yet more rad- ical. Jealousy of the Christ, for the worship of Mary Magdalen, whom | Judas loves and who has loved him, l" the leading motive in the original play for Judas' sin. Mary herself is made the wife of a .vile and cruel Hebrew, from whom she has at length fled in despair {to her life of shame.

All told, | we are unlikely to get again such stage | pictures for some time—and the light- ing of them must not be forgotten. But all this is but the setting. There | | is Mrs. Fiske at the heart of it all, a | | w al gem, and brings | ot the task of interpretation that worthy her company. Mr=,¢ Fiske's Mary is most potently convine- { ing. ‘It is the courtesan we see in the first act, luxurious, willful, but aiready a-weary. She has begun to find life ashes on her tongue. There is a con- centrated bitterness of mood that reaches the terrible here, as she doubts love, friendship, everything to Fla- vius' younger ears. Her finale, as she hears from Judas of the Nazarene and measures her attraction against his di- vine resistance, is a marvelous bit of suggestion. The next act finds her in Flavius' garden, curiously attracted to !} the Nazarine and his disciples. Her | opportunity here is in a little scene | with Caiaphas, where the priest would }ha\-e her tempt Flavius to give over Christ into his hands. She is here the incarnation of scorn, its quiet flame seething over the footlights. This' is the supreme climax of the play. Here Flavius, who really loves her, offers to save Chrisp from Pilate (the uncle of | Flavius) if ehe will be his mistress. | Redeemed, Mary shrinks with utter horror from the suggestion, but con- templates the sacrifice. Her struggle— enhanced subtly, in its values, by the charm of Mr. Gilmore's Aulus Flavius | —is a piteous and superb spectacle. Volce, gesture, face, all lend themselves with brilllant svmpathy to the picture. Throughout Mrs. Fiske's Mary is su- perbly intellectual, shaded with su preme art—here it becomes most pite- ous satire. As before said, Mr. Gilmgre's Flavius | is excellent. He is graceful, reads his | lines with. fine intelligence, and acts with charm and finish, The Judas o the cast is unfortunate. Mr. Bosworth, who assumes the part, is melodramatic, theatric, and with a curlously unintelli- gent fashion of diction. Only once, in | his final scene with Mary, does he get at the heart of the character, or arouse the sympathy that the dramatiet has given ample opportunity for arousing. Caiaphas is excellently handled by Max Figman, and the rest of the roles are all adequately taken. BLANCHE PARTINGTON. rth cen to are Tivoli. There will be very few unoccupied seats at the Tivoli while “Mr. Pick- wick” is on. From its earliest stage last evening, the opening night, whole- sale laughter rang in all parts of the hause. Teddy Webb and Annie Myers were responsible for a great share of the fun. Annie Myers bubbled over as a robust exponent of fun and when she laughed the outbreak was infec- tious. Teddy Webb has never had a funnier role. Apart from these the interest in the | 5 initial performénce was centered par- ticularly upon the newcomer, Dora de Filippe. Heér first scng proved that she has a voice that 1s very sweet, of | good quality throughout, the register that the score called for in her role and that she has style and is chic. She altogether filled her part more than acceptably. Her high notes are partic- ularly limpid apd pleasing. In the aughing song with Teddy Webb and Annie Myers she won her share of the applause that follow Pick- wie] has a dearth but the new singer had at least one good op- portunity to display her vbice. That was sufficient to give her an imme- diate hold on the favor of the andience. Arthur Cunningham w cast as Tony Weller and Férris Hartman was Sam Weller, Hartman had compara- tively little to do. Cunningham’s voice came ouj strongly in a solo. George Chapman as Winkle had a very good ong t he went through with ac- ceptably. Nettie Deglow, whose star at the Tivoli would seem to be con- stantly rising, has a small part, but fllled that well. All the company were | in evidence. Aimee Leicester as Rachel ‘Wardle, Bessie Tannehill as Mrs. Bar- dell and Schusfer as Wardle, There was nothing the matter with the stage setting. The first scene was gocd enough to call for approval from the audience on its merits. In the sec- ond- act there is a rainbow scene in which parasols and dresses, with the aid of colored lights, repeat the pris- matic colors in inverse order, helping to make a pretty effect. People who did not attend are assured that Ferris Hartman, Wallace Brownlow as Jingle and Arthur Cunningham made great havoc with the English inflection of their spoken words, but the effort was evidently great for Teddy Webb and he refrained. The choruses particularly favor the voices in the Tivoli company. There are no great difficulties to overcome; too the range moderate and the tunes have a pleasant jingle and swing to them. > chcrus this year is above the average. It was used effectively and never once ran away from the baton. In the last act Annie Myers fell and was, hurt so that after a dance she limped to her position at one end of the stage and there nursed a sprained ankle. She will not be incapacitated, however. Columbia.. Mary Mannering’s diversified art of | dramatic expression is given wide scope for effective play in “Harriet’s Honeymoon,” the comedy in which she opened a brief season last night at the Columbia Theater. It is not an- nounced that the author, Leo Ditrich- | stein, wrote the leading feminine part to bring out Miss Mannering's best methods, but if he had exhaustively studied her varied acting talents and | carefully fitted the lines and ‘‘busi- | ness” allotted the character he could not have more thoroughly succeeded in dofhg that very thing. Of all the characterizations with which this pop- ular actress has regaled San Fran- cisco, that of the young American bride on her wedding tour is the most satisfactory—prohably because it is the | least artificial. It is the naturalness in most of what she says and does that makes her portraval so charming. The scene of “Harriet’s Honeymoon” | 1 laid at a German spa, and the story pertains to the tribulations that be- fall the bride through the misfortune of her husband in losing jheir cash and passports and the series of blunders committed by an ultra-officious in- gpector of volice. To raise enough money to enable him to reach his banker’s the husband induces the wife to pose as an Italian cantatrice while he acts as her manager, and just about that time the Prince of the province elopes with' a genuine prima donna and Is sought by the police. Mistaken identity ensues, of course, and the complications eaused thereby are in- geniously conceived and dexterously P e GRUNSKY IS RECEIVED Official Party Will Leave Next Week to Make In- spection of the Waterway PRER DR Specia!

By the folk at the spa | | the husband is mistaken for the prince, the prince for the husband and the bride for the lady of the opera. | These folk, by the way, are variegated | and faithfully drawn, even to a New | York newspaper woman who is | ing the Continent for scandals. | In the first act Miss Mannering is | deliciously inconsistent as the petted | | ana pettish bride who fails to under- ! | stapd why her helpmeet cannot at- | | tend to her whims and caprices to the | exclusion of evervthing and everybody else. She rails at him for thinking of | his Wall-street business while she is nigh,and he ingenuously asks her if she likes a good time. “Oh, yes; you know | I do,” is_her rapturous respons Well, | it takes money to make a good time,” | is his practical response. But even then | ! she fails ¥ understand why life should | not be all kisses. | But the most convincing bit of work done by the actress is in the third act, where she is wooed by the prince. Flashes of the woman who appreciates the dignity of her wifehood gleam | through the artlessness of the Ameri- can girl unacquainted with the awry | morality of high-grade European soci- ety. When the titled roue attempts to belittle the affection of her _absent spouse she indignantly repels the innu- endo and informs him that American manhood is beyond the ken of his kind. In that moment there was a flash-of art that made Miss Mannering!s Flavia such a respect-compelling personality in “The Prisoner of Zenda.” It is a well-balanced company that | accompanies the star. Arthur Byron renewed his grip upon the favoritism of the Columbia clientele by his por- trayal of the typical New York man of affairs that could combjne business with conjugal felicity, and Thomas 2 Wise made the pompous Police Inspe tor Bock a memorable comedy figure. As the head waiter at the spa hotel, Edward See was happy. Emma Jan- vier, as the American journalist )mad, earned a fair share of credit or her careful handling of an ungrate- ful part, and as the amorous prince, Louis Massen was entirely artistic. | The piece is very nicely staged, each of the three scenes being a realistic | pioture. | . Cen | For thrilling sensation and spectac- | ular scenic effects the Central Theater | reached the limit last night in Theo- | dore Kremer's melodramatic | piece, “The King of Detectives | king appears in a dozen different di | guises, with a different kind of voice | for every disguise, and he enacts won- | | ders enough to put such rivals as Old | Sleuth and Sherlock Holmes out of | bushess. The play is a top-notcher for the Central and a packed house : | greatly enjoyed the climax | The piece abounds in striking situa- | | tions, hairbreadth escapes and mar- | velous rescues. The most stupendous | | thing in it is where the conspirators | kidnap the heroine and take her sky- | ward in a dirigible balloon, from the | car of which she is thrown in order { that she may be dashed to pieces on the earth below. Miraculously the girl lights on a church steeple and | | clings to the cross and she is released | from that perilous position and saved ! by the King of Detectives, who has | followed the villains in a balloon of his own. The scenic effect of the bal- loons racing above the clouds was | strikingly realistic and was followed | by thunderous applause. i Herschel Mayall portrayed the king | and richly earned all the applause he | | got, for the role kept him working at | high tension, with lightning changes | | every few minutes throughout the play. Elmer Booth made a humorous ihit as a gentleman tramp, who be- comes a member of the Salvation Army through his love for a blue-| | bonneted soldieress, a part in which | Myrtle Vane was the real thing. | i Miss Lawton, as the heroine, filled ! | the bill admirably, while Edna Ells- | | mere, who made her first appearance | {at the Central in the part of Olga, the | | adventuress, proved herseif to be a | clever actress, possessing grace and | beauty as well as ability. Henry Shu- mer shone as a prince of villains and Ikept the king on the jump all the time, while a fine bit of Hebrew char: acter acting was done by Ernest How- ell. The balance of the cast is in good | hands. Fischer’s. “The Rounders” entered upon the third week of iis engagement at Fisch- er's Theater last night before a large crowd.

Garnett for the murder of Major J. W. Clung in the rooms of Mrs. Elizabeth Hitchcock-Coit at the Palace Hotel on November was to have com- menced before a jury -in Judge Law- lor's court yesterday, but at the re- quest of defendant's attorney a con- tinuance was granted till April 6. The motion made by the defendant's attorney on Friday for a commission to take the testimony of Dr. A. H. Gar- nett of Colorado Springs, Colo., the de- fendant's brother, was granted by the Judge. Dr. Garnett had informed the attorney that he would willingly an- swer any questions put to him. During the attorney’'s remarks in support of the motion he said that a plea of insanity would be made for the defendant and it was in corrobora- tion of that plea that he desired the testimony of Dr. Garnett. Nothing was said regarding the ap- | pointment of a commission to take the testimony of Mrs. Coit, who Is said to be in Pa France. e e Lo HENRY A.
