The foyer, a palace of light, and palms and cheer- ful crimson carpetings, immediately in- vites, and "twould be a drab play, in- deed, that could soon down its happy suggestion. Inside the house it is the | same. The decorations are in the same cheerful and tasteful key, as one ob- serves from seats that are all that the blessed old Tivoli’s were not. In fact, everything conduces to comfort, and one begins by being ready to enjoy anything the Majestic curtain rings up on. ?‘Clpflln Barrington,” as before said, is this week’s offering. It is a revo- lutionary drama by Victor Mapes, and is neither worse nor bet;er than l;) em.flodt many other _plays of the same L Charles thhms who produced it in New York, found it a fairly successful medium, and so does the Majestic Company—better, much, I understand, last night, than on Sunday night. Things were rather lively round the Majestic on Sunday evening, by the way, when the play was first done. There was a prompter in every wing, make-ups missing, and what not, and the silver voice of Mr. Bishop was heard afterward in fraternal remon- strance. At 9 o’clock, not fifteen min- uts past—as the blackboard had it— on Monday morning, the repentant mummers went to work, and last night the prompter took a rest. Things went like clockwork. In fact, all that lies not extraordi- nary powers was done with the play. To Mr. J. H. Gilmour falls the chief role, or rather roles. He plays the parts of twin brothers, one a captain in the British army, the other a lieu- tenant in General Washington’s com- mand, and each ignorant of the other’s existence. The coincidence is difficult of acceptance to begin with and the Mr. not are Gilmour makes his changes does conduce to illusion. But there many good points about his work. He has an admirable enunciation, a re- fined pronunciation and a satisfying voice behind them. Obviously Mr. Gil- mour knows his Henry Miller. His love scenes are modeled after Miller's most empresse methods and he has even fleeting expressions that remind. But serious and earnest as he is spirited at times, capable, too, there is quite lack- ing the note of distinction. Seriousness and sincerity are also Miss Grace Reals’ strong points. Miss Reals assumes the part 6f Ruth Lang- don, who has the honor of saving George Washington from her conspir- ator-uncle’s plots. The actress is fairly convincing, ready of wit, but ‘'mechani- cal. She would never lack the word, but could never give what lies behind the word. It is quite possible, however, that Miss Reals is ill-suited in this par- ticular role, some indications of a larger aptness for comedy being in evi- dence. The ingenue, Linda Arvidson, brings the personal note into her little part. She is individual and charm- ing, if unevenly so. The other feminine role is in the hands of Eleanor Gor- don, late of the Aleazar. I liked Miss Gordon much hetter as I last saw her— as a pig-tailed Swedish servant lass— than as the riding-habited lady of last night. But perhaps her black velvet and gold stripes are responsible for the accretion of consciousness in evidence. Miss Gordon is handsome as ever. Others in the cast are George Wash- ington himself, done by Theodore Marston with due reverence, and Joe Moulton and his fat both well enough taken by J. D. O'Hara and Henry Stockbridge. The settings are handsome and the uniforms add fine color to the pictures. BLANCHE PARTINGTON. A e ———— of ‘Miss Laura Sophie Hansen and Arthur Lauder, which was celebrated here yester- day at’ the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Hansen of 1815 Buena Vista avenue, there culminated a romanee that be- gan at Camp Merritt in San Francisco during the Spanish-American war, when Miss Han- sen and Mr. Lauder met for the first time.

McFeely, assistant superintendent of the Judson Iron Works, and a pioneer member of Oakland Lodge No. 171 of Elks, died at 5:30 o'clock this morning at his residence, 1929 Market street, after an illness of short duration. For some time Mr. McFeely had not been enjoying good health, but the serious condition did not become manifest until a week or so ago. “Pop” McFeely, as he was known to his familiars, was an Elk of Elks. To the lodge with which he had been 80 many years affiliated he was a pa- triarch. Thoygh 64 years had passed since his birth in Toronto, Canada, “Pop’ was until very recently one of Oakland Lodge's most active members. He was ever at the forefront in any- thing pertaining to the welfare of his lodge or of his brethren. Twenty-five years ago McFeely came to OCakland. In his busifess relations he occupled a high place in the confl- dence of the Judson people. The surviviing family consists of the v, Mrs. Elizabeth McFeely, and | children, who are Susan, Agnes, | Jane, Gertrude and Fred McFeely and Mrs. Mary Kaufman. Funeral services will be held Thursday morning at 9 o'clock at the Elks’ Hall, Fourteenth | street, near Broadway, and at 10 o'clock at Sacred Heart Church, For- tieth and Grove streets. e AR Retired Physician Dead.

They arrived on Saturday. morning and were delighted with everything, even the shower that greeted them on their arrival.

The paper suggests the withdrawal of the privilege from American-owned vessels of freedom to the British coastal trade as a means of recover- ing a freedom to negotiate for reci- procal concessions, and thinks a re- vival of some of the old navigation laws would be easier now than if the step became necessary in the face of greatly increased rivalry. —_—— Army and Navy Orders.

President Rickard recognizes the fact that this is the most opportune time to put the scheme through and as soon as mc‘ necessary legal steps are taken the peo- ple will- be asked to vote upon propo- sitions to bond the city for schools, sewers, streets, a new city hall, a city wharf, parks and fire equipment. To secure all these things it is cal- culated that it will be necessary to spend $517,000, as per the following es- timates: City hall, $100,000; wharf, $50,- 000; schools, $125,000; manual training in schools, $20,000; sewers, $165,000; streets, $7000; parks, $25,000; fire de- partment, $35,000.

Now, every tyke in town’s going to the Chutes next his the week, s hé wants to show teacher that he thinks she’s just all right, see?” Clever diplomacy, that! And, besides, where can a lad hav a bullier time with a few dimes than at the Chutes? Preparatory to the great affair the inhabitants of the “zoo” have visited the barber’s, have put their cages to “rights” and learned all sorts of en- teMaining stunts for their days “at home."” The Board of Education, Super- intendent Langdon and every friend of the schools are lending their best efforts to make the week the most emphatic testimonial of the teacher's worth ever offered in San Franecisco. And everybody, from grandma to the new baby, is going out to the festival on Monday—but if not on Monday, why, on Tuesday, or some day before the week's end. And thus will the cause have help and grandma and the baby a load of fun. —e— Son Defends His Mgther. OAKLAND, Sept. 27.—Martin Re- gan, a sailor, abused his cousin, Mrs. A. C.
