Jeffries Turns Out to Be a Better Actor, Than Many Expected to See. * James J. Jeffries, champion pugilist of the world, was a disappointment to many of the folk who witnessed his five-round go with Thespis last even- ing at the Central Theater. They who went to scoff remained to applaud. Instead of being convulsed by the at- tempted acting of a man who had can- didly disclaimed ability to act, they saw a histrionic exhibition that com- pelled their respect, at least. When | they laughed it was not at his reading on, but at the way in which their less cultured neighbors received his rehearsed sentiments and gestures. The audience afforded more amusement | than the stellar mime, It was in the titular role of “Davy Crockett,” created and played for many years by the late Frank Mayo, that Mr. Jeffries made his stage debut in that has seen so many of his ring triumphs. The character is in- tensely, if not impossibly, heroic, and one would naturally suppose that the temperament would fairly revel in its many opportunities to con- vey thrills to the upper tier. The fact that the Jeffries temperament did noth- ing of the kind, but was constantly held in most discreet restraint, was the cause of the disappointment herein- before alluded to. If anything, the part was underacted. Even in the fa- mous wolf scene that closes the second act and opens the third one, the big fighting man never rose, or descended, to the ranting and striving fer claptrap effect that was practiced by his illus- trious predecessor in the personation. While his brawny arm barred the door and his mighty torso seemed to heave naturally under the strain, his lines were delivered with the calm deliber- ateness of a man suffering more phy- sical agony than he cared to reveal. His failure to overdo that scene was what convinced ths critics that worse actors with greater pretensions to act than James J. Jeffries are rather com- mon, In his love scenes with the leading woman the leading man’s studied self-repression stood him in admirable stead, for it would have been easy to spoil the effectiveness of their roman- tic dialogues by the least show of overexuberance. His seeming awk- wardness on those occasions was con- sistent with his part. An illiterate backwoodsman, strange to the ways of educated city folk, could not feel entirely self-possessed in presence of a lady who spouted “Lochinvar’s Ride” with the charm of a profession- al elocutionist, especially when he felt enamored of the lady and suspect- ed that she returned his passion. To make a Chesterfleld of a Daniel Boone would be a crime against na- ture. The titters from the auditorium were not provoked so much by what the swain on the stage said or did as by the murmurs of approval that wafted from an unquestionably sin- cere gallery. ‘Whatever else may be said of Mr. Jeffriess as an actor, he must have credit for appreciating his limitations in that profession and abiding within them. What he lacks in grace of stage deportment and knowledge of the technique of the craft is compen- sated for by his irtelligent modesty— a quality that nc other man who doffed the mitts to don the buskin has shown in any marked degree. He is a more admirable actor than he would be if he believed he could act. J. C. CRAWFORD. Majestic. All of women’s clubdom put on its best bib and tucker last night and hied itself to the Majestic to do honor te the benefit given the Outdoor Art >— League. Pe the campaig haps it is a far cry from in favor of the Govern- ment preservation of the Calaveras big trees to the mimic love affair of a Japanese geisha and an American gentleman, but then the latter motive is only a step toward the accomplish- ment of the former and hence deserv- ing of the sanction society gave it last night. Between acts one could read about preserving Telegraph Hill for the pleasure and profit of the people of San Francisco and of making a park near Mission Dolores; this could detract nothing from the pleas- ure of the evening and served the pu pose of a useful reminder as to why one was there. The whole house, nut gallery, was surrendered to the club ladies and their friends. Even the unwonted rustle of silks upstairs under the roof attested to the whole- hearted purpose of those who came to help out the cause of the Outdoor League. The boxes, decorated with dahlias and greens, were given over to an exhibition of toilettes worthy of a Grau first night. The orchestra was spotted with immaculately starched shirt bosoms. Society was there and was pleased. Needless to say that the folk behind the footlights rendered “A Japanese Nightingale” to the best of their *ability—and that is consid- erable. Tivoli. The second week of “Der Rastel- binder” at the Tivoli differentiates only from the first in that the work is smoother with additional perform- ances. The music is good and the movement of the opera is pleasing. The Chutes. The Lippincotts, up-to-date singers and dancers, and Loa Durbyelle, a shadowgrapher and magicienne, were new at the Chutes yesterday and scored instantaneous hits. Ted E. Box, the diminutive eccentric come- dian and whistler, changed his spe- cialty. Richard Walsh and Adele Li- gon introduced new musical novelties in their sketch, “The Twentieth Cen- tury Burglar and the French Sou- brette.”” Charles and Ada Kalamo re- peated their hit of last week in their character dances, and Mabel Lamson, ADVERTISEMENTS.

Leopold Michels, president of the San Francisco Coke and Gas Com- pany, is authority for the statement that the corporation in which he is concerned will, within a month, be- gin to lay gas mains in the streets of San Francisco as a preliminary to sup- plying gas to the public. Mr. Michels said yesterday his company had a con+ tract with the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company, that expired in August, under which the last named corporation received gas from his company. ‘When the contract ex- pired there was a disagreement con- cerning the price to be paid as a con- dition for the renewal of the con- tract. This led to the decision on the part of the San Francisco Coke and Gas Company to engage in supplying gas to the public. Mr. Michels also said that the present capacity of his company’s plant is 1,000,000 feet of gas a day. This will be increased to 2,000,000 feet immediately. In ad- dition to gas the company produces metallurgical coke that is particularly well adapted for use in smeiters. —————— INSANE GIRL WAND FORTH IN THE NIGHT Investment Which will Give you Daily Dividends In comfort The police 'are searching for Miss Haley of 2222 Clay street, who left her home last night after writing a note indicating that she was temporarily in- sane.
