California and Sansome Sts., SAN FRANCISCO, CAX SAN FRANCISCO, CAS ) OF DEFRAUDING COUNTY | JOHN DREW DELIGHTS AUDIENCE AT COLUMBIA In Simple PlagofLove He Causes Laughter Mingled With Tears S R Tennessee’s Pardner and The Country Girl | Robert Marshall never told a sweeter story nor in better style than he does in “The Duke of Killiekrankle.” It is a | simple love tale narrated in smiles and punctuated with laughter. And the play has never been better interpreted on the stage than it was last night at the Columbia by John Drew and his | clever company. Not in the plot alone | lles the virtue, but in the telling of it. | It teems with bright sallies and smart | sayings, not at all of slangdom, and un- | expected repartees that flash in the dark like new rapiers. John Drew was required to make six separate bows when he made his first appearance in | the first act before the enthusiastic | andience would allow the play to pro- | ceed, and in the second act the house rose at all the players, and John was obliged to make a little speech of his | own, thanking the people of San Fran- | cisco for their kind appreciation of his | efforts to amuse them. Mr. Drew's com- pany is all that could be desired. Mar- garet Dale is the Lady Henrietta, and the funny pair of the piece are Fanny | Brough, the Mulholland, and JFerdi- | nand Gottschalk, the Henry Pitt Welby, | M. P. The supper scene in the second | act, in which Mrs. Mulholland and Lady | Henrietta measure their powers of gen-, | teel sarcasm, keeps the audience bub- | bling continually with merriment. | There is more humor in the third act, | when the Duke turns the tables upon | his haughty lady love by telling her that hér enforced imprisonment in his | castle at Crag o' North has taught him | that she is too high for him, that he can love her only with his intellect and | not with his heart. Of course ‘matters | turn out as all lovers would like to | have them happen, and the curtain goes down upon plighted troth and marriage looming upon the horizon. Central Theater. What is known in baseball parlance as a “Garrison finish’* was given the Monday night patrons of the Central Theater, when the Jast act of the latest thriller, “Why He Divorced Her,” came to a sudden ‘end with the heroine and villainess fighting a rapter ccmbat, and the hero and villain a rough and tumble ‘scrap on the highest part of a New York roof garden. The herolne, Miss Grace Hopkins, and the hero, Theodore Gamble, come out triumphant, the | “villainess” plunging over a parapet and the villain being shot by the brother of a girl he had wronged. The honors of the evening might be equall | aistribited to Theodore Gamble, the new. lead: ing man wko succceeds Herschel Mavall; Grace Hopkins, the emotional little leading woman who has made a successful debut, and Henry | Shumer, who fs well known to Central audi- ences. Gamble last night was all that a long and arduous part called for and succceeded with one of the hardest audiences an actor has to face. The spirlt of guying which was rampant throughout the evening was quelled by the | really fne work of the newcomer, who, through | emotional and trying scenes, held his audience and won rcunds of appla His work was reccgnized and rewarded of flowers from his many friends, for he is a | native of San Francisco, Miss Grace Hopkins is all the press notices have predicted. ©motional, vivaclous and pretty, she has found reacy welcome, and the week 'will add to her following. She dresses well and is a talented actress, She was pre- sented with a large floral star and a bouquet of roses at the close of the first act. Henry Shumer gave one of his best perform- ancer iast night. At no time did he show a tendency to overact and his evening’s work was clesn cut and polished. The other members of the Central cast show up exceptionally well. James Corrigan s good In & “fat” part. He is ably seconded by Lillian Elliot. Edna Ells- mere as the heavy gave a mnished portraval, and Myrtle Vane was artistic as the deserted Grace.” Millar Bacon gave a somewhat lelsure- )y portrayal of Auderly, while True Boardman fwas acceptable as the brother. California. Florence Roberts and the company which | supports her are making fun in plenty at the | California this week in “The Country Girl.” The quaint old comedy properly interpreted is | entertainment enough for one night to satisfy any one and they are turning out a finished product at the theater on Bush street. Miss Roberts as Peggy Thrift furnished most of the fun. She is known best to Fran- cisco in more serious and emotional plays, but she appears to great advantage in the comedy. who have seen her only in ** “Camille” and pleces of similar amazed at her versatility. Herschel Mayall in the part of Sparkish is very amusing and Willlam Yerance as Moody has little difficulty in making his hearers hold their sides. Lucius Henderson as Belville and Louise Royce in the part of Lucy are also particularly pleasing. The others of the com- pany furnish admirable support. Next week Miss Roberts will appear in ‘Marta of the | Lowlands,” ‘which is one of_those tearfully emotional plays through which she has won her wav to fame. ‘Sapho,’’ ype will be Alcazar. To g0 to the Alcazar this week is to admire little Miss Woodson in the character of Ten- | nessee Kent. She made a prettier and more | effective picture in “‘Tennessee’s Pardner,” as | she appeared at the first night of the play, last evening than any of her predecessors in the role. She has the art of faclal expression to perfection. Nothing more ingenuous or { | | Are Popular| - natural than lLer presentation has been seen on a San Francisco stage in many a day. The favor she received last evening made sure that she will be the talk of the city among theater-goers before the week is out, and she is good to fill the house for a full week at least. Cralg makes a Caleb Swan; Maher takes advantage of all the chances as Hay; Scott does well as Bice; %%th Allen fllls ‘in_satisfactorily as Nettle. en there is a quartet that sings fairly well. But little Miss Woodson is the star for the week. Every one can be safely advised to see her Tennessee. Majestic. The revival of “Mizpah' packed the Ma- Jestic Theater last night.

The Seattle Brewing and Malting Company was granted a_restraining order against the San Francisco Labor Council and the varlous unions that have boycotted the product of the Seattle company, Rainier beer, by the Su- perior Court yesterday. April 15. the unlon workmen in the brewery in Seattle asked for certain concessions which were not granted, so a boycott was placed on the beer and John Rapp, who handles it in this city, has been boycotted as one of the agents. B'l'l’lc Seattle brewing people aver that their business will be damaged to the extent of $10,000 1f the boycott is not called off and the Superior Court ordered the Labor Council, Peter Hansen and others to appear before it and show cause why an injunction should not be {ssued to prevent the boycott.

On Saturday afternoon Stevenson was overcome at | his office and later in the day, upon ar- riving at his home in San Mateo, he called physicians, who declared that he was suf- fering from pneumonia. Sunday Dr. Ainsworth, chief surgeon of the Southern Pacific Company, was called to Stevenson's bedside, and although every precaution known to medical science was taken the patient began sink- ing rapidly. Last night Dr. Ainsworth | stated that he could not offer the slightest | hope.
