EAlr el |Cast Is Admirably | Well Suited to the Parts. | Success | Organization Is Now Closed. PRI A | “Die Orientreise,” the third and final | German performance to be given this | season by the Arthur Becker Lustsplel | Ensemble, was produced before a large | audience at the Columbia Theater last | evening. The play is one of the bright- est and funniest of Blumenthal & Kadelburg’'s comedies and the cust pre- | sented last evening was particularly | strong and well suited to tne parts. Richard Warring, a well-known San Franciscan, made his first appearance in the ;role of Demeter Mitrovics and carried’ the part of the comedian to successful end. Warring has had some successful experience on the amateur stage and has at last branched out to win favor in a cast composed of many of the cleverst German plavers in this country. Max Carl Weiss appeared in the role of Robert Fiedler, while Josephine Neckhause appeared as Fiedler's wife. Both parts were good and proved im- portant in this comedy of complications. Arthur Becker had an artistic part in the role of Konsul Bock. Other mem- s in the cast were Fritz Rembach, Johanna Strauss, Etta Eiben, Richard Lenz, Franz Mueller, Meta Werner and Josephine Warring. “Die Orientreise,” under the title of “The Oriental Express” was quite a success in this country when offered by the late Augustin Daly. It Is one of the cleverest of modern comedies and | the many amusing complications of the piece kept the audience in one con- tinual round of laughter. » iteriich Artie Hall, justly styled “the Genu- ine Georgia Girl,” made her appearance in a black-face song and dance at the Orpheum last night, and made up so well that every one thought she was e of the old-time plantation negroes. She finally bared her arm. saving as | she did so, “Well, I guess all of you are | from Missouri.” Miss Hall has a great line of darky stuff, and she knows how | to hand it out. Her act was surely one of the Orpheum features last night. The famous Agoust family of jug- | glers is also on the boards. Their work is so well known to all the theater- goers of this city that it needs no com- ment. Jimmy Wall, “the person in ber black,” is one of those old-time min- | strels with some real jokes that are funny. He made good as soon as he appeared on the stage, and Is destined to become a favorite. Coleman’s wonderful educated dogs are also with us again. They soneof the main attractions the Orpheum circuit. Last night on these animals were put through some new stunts, all of which held the at- tention of the audience. Among the over numbers are the Howard transmitters of thought; . the musical clown; Mitchell and Cain and Chris Bruno and Mabel Russell. . . . “Caught In the Web,” which was presented for the first time at the Grand Opera-house last night, is a red- hot meladrama of criminal life in | Gotham.

Stitt Wilson gave the third of his series of lectures dealing with modern conditions last night at Steinway Hall. He spoke against the commercialism of | the age and predicted the downfall of | capitalism by its own works. He said strong, those strong in the qualities that in gaining gold stified the best in their natures. The speaker opened his talk with a review of the early slavery of the race. He proceeded with each successive ad- vance made by clvilization, pointing out | how mankind is being steadily prepared for the final liberty of living life at its highest development. In speaking of the scales lh(t for- merly weighed a throne against a hu- man life, he declared that modern scales weighed corporations and vested rights against the lives of the children of the nation. ‘Wilson will lecture again next Sun- day.

Set Upom When i.e Orders Women Out of a Saloon. Policeman James Skelly of the Mis- slon station encountered a small-sized mob last night when ne attempted, to eject three women from the saloon of G. E. Keefe on the northwest corner of Sixteenth and Valencia streets, and a desperate fight ensued. Charges of drunkenness were made against Skelly by some of the men ifi the saloon, but Lieutenant Lewis and Sergeant O'Con- nor were unable to find any one who would make the accusation to them. Skelly was relieved from duty by Ser- geant O'Connor, pending an investiga- tion of the charges. The patrolmdn at- tributes the attempt to get him into | trouble as spite work, and says that he was merely doing his duty when he met with resistance. About 8 o'clock last night Skelly, who patrols the Sixteenth-street beat, went into the rear rooms of the Cos- mopolitan saloon, conducted by Keefe, and ordered out three women of ques- | tionable character. They refused to go, and the officer was ejecting them when | the bartender, Carl Johnson, interfered, assisted by several hangers-on. The men tried to take Skelly’s pistol and club from him, but were unsuccessful. The policeman, who is a powerful man, fought them off, and in the melee struck a man named Herman Butts on the arm. Butts was treated at the Cen- tral Emergency Hospital for a slight contusion of the head. Dr. McGinty says Butts was drunk. The crowd, incensed at the police- man, spread a story that Skelly was drunk and had run amuck. The names of the “ladies” could not be learned. Storekeepers on Skelly's beat say that he was not drunk, and his condition when seen shortly after the fight bears out thelr statement. < SRR T SACRED HEART CHURCH REWARDS FATHER BYRNE Assistant Pastor Will Take Trip to Ire- land to Revisii Scenes of Youth at Parishioners’ Expense.

I had three loctors and derived no benefit from any of them. One doctor said he was afraid to touch my hands, so you must know how bad they were; an- other said I never could be cured; and the third said the sores were caused by the dipping of my hands in water in the dye-house where I work.

The spring weather brought great erowds to the park and beach yester- day. The throng that gathered near the music stand was probably the largest this year. There were no threatening clouds to keep the timid at home. The water along the beach was not cold enough to bite the toes of the little waders, consequently the surf line was packed with barelegged youngsters. An Italian named A. Valanchia created some excitement out near the Clift House by offering to fight anybody in the crowd. His offer was promptly taken up by a couple of husky you: sters. Valanchia was taken t.fi. Park Emergency Hospital, where Goodale sewed the remnants together with catgut. He was booked at the ENGINEER SCHUYLER HERE TO TESTIFY Will Appear Before Govern- ment Board of Engineers This Afternoon. James D. Schuyler of Los Angeles, one of the best known hydraulic engi- neers in the world, arrived in San Fran- cisco yesterday for the purpose of tes- tifying before the United States Board of Engineers, which meets at the St Francis Hotel this afternoon. The Gov- ernment engineers will hear the testi- mony in regard to the Laguna dam case in’ Arizona. ‘When the Government began the con- struction .of the Laguna dam, by the completion of which millions of acres of California and Arizona land will be made productive, it destroyed an old dam belonging to the Colorado Delta Company. This dam, claims the cor- poration, gave it certain water rights, for which it has not been compensated. The Government decided to hear the claims and effect a compromise. Engi- neer Schuyler will appear for the Colo- rado Delta Company. Schuyler has recently returned from a trip to Brazil. He has been installing great power plants at Rio de Janeiro and other Brazilian cities for a Canadian company. He Is also consulting engi- neer for the corporation that is to put in the water works and sewer system for Monterey, Mexico. While here Schuyler will seek San Francisco con- tractors to bid on the work. ——————— BURNETT EXPRESSES SORROW WHEN HE HEARS OF CRIME s Park Station for disturbing the peace.
