Mr. Russell has glready arranged for the famous American prima donna,| Mme. Lillian Nordica; Miss Alice Niel- | son and other prominent artists to be- come - members of the organizatiofl, | which will also include an orchestra of fifty musiclans, a splendid chorus of ,sixty and a ballet (the latter under the direction of Sig. Albertieri, so long | with the Metropolitan Opera-house), | while the productions will be superbly | mounted and the costuming all new and elaborate. further announcements as to the sonnel of the company and other de- | Is will be made known as soon as | word is received from Mr. Russell,| who is now visiting Milan and Paris| in the interests of the organization. | The repertoire of the company will| nclude “La Boheme,” “Gioconda,” | pe “Romeo and Juliet,” “Rigoletto,” “Tro-| vatore,” “Faust,” “La Tosca,” “Daugh-| ter of the Regiment,” *Crispino e la ' “Barber of Seville,” “Car-| Don Pasquale,” “Aida,” “Travi- | bon Glovanni,” ‘Nanon,” | “Pagliacei,” “Cavalleria Rus- | ticana” and others, t . . . | After a month of deliberation | Wagenhals & Kemper were able on| Wednesday to announce definitely the | opening attraction at their new Astor Theater. The announcement includes nothing less startling than a splendid presentation of “A Midsummer Night's Dream,” with dainty, demure Annie Russell in the rollicking role of Puck. Before Miss Russell's managers could persuade her to make so radical a de- parture from the ‘class of characteriza- tions with which she has been identi- | fied her adaptability to the role was the subject of many protracted de- bates, in which the actress stoutly | maintained the negative. It was final- | ly decided that’ Miss Russell should have a fortnight of probation, so to| speak, before any announcement was! made or plans for the contemplated | production put into execution. The fortnight has been devoted to study and rehearsals and to reconciling the actress to Robin Goodfellow's some- what alry attire. The enthusiasm aroused by the preliminary rehearsals is best attested by the unqualified an- nouncement that “A Midsummer Night's Dream” will have a prominent place in Miss Russell's repertoire in the fall, and that the star has violated all the conventions by selecting the role! of Puck for her own. Miss Russell's metamorphosis from the ingenuous stage maiden to Shakes- peare’s sauciest boy will be re- markable as Maude Adams’ transforma- tion frem Lady Babbie to Peter Pan. Miss Russell's friends believe that it will also be as delightful. At any rate, a large force of scenmic artists, electricians and carpenters are already engaged in building theequip- ment for the, production, which will be unique in many respects. While the aim is to make the presentation one notable for its artistic beauty, good taste and accuracy will not be sub- served to spectacular effects. site . There is a possibility that Sarah Bernhardt may appear in “Tess of the d'Urbervilles,” in which Mrs. Fiske won one of ‘her most notable triumphs. Mme.

Among San Francisco’s musiclans are many who are known across the coun- try. Some of these lost their studios, | some their homes, and many organists | lost their instruments and churches. Al-| most all of the business of the profes- | sion is swept away for the time being. | Among the larger organs destroyed | were those at St. Ignatius Catholic (76 stops), Grace Church (47 stops), St Mary’s Catholic, First Congregational| (40 stops) and St. Luke's large new | organ. The Catholics lost eleven | churches and the Methodists elght, the | Congregational four and the Presby-| terian five, and other denominations in | proportion. In many of these there were excellent organs, though not large | enough to be notable outside of the | city. The St. Ignatius organ was the| largest west of Chicago, unless excelled | by additions made to the Mormon or-| gan.—Musical Review. e . There is no cause for cynicism in a deliberate and scholarly review of the- atrical conditions half or a quarter uf a century ago in America. Accessories | are now better, salaries are better, commissions are better, and the conse- quence cannot be other than better players and better writers of plays. Order has been wrought out of chaos. Circuits have taken the place of isolat- ed theaters. Every influence has been conducive to progress and art. Booth and Barrett have been suc- ceeded by Mansfield and Sothern, while | we have Mrs. Fiske, Mrs. Leslie Carter and Julia Marlowe, who have succeeded no one, but have established their own place in the annals of the- American stage. ‘Why, this hue and cry of commercial- ism from the esthetic when we have so large a proportion of real art?—The Billboard. . * . The writer believes Mansfield to be the best living exponent of Richard III, and will venture to put hi§ Shylock in second place. There are many who dis- parage his Cyrano de Bergerac in com- parison with Coquelin’s, but the present reviewer is not ‘one of them, and his Beaucaire was letter than Weller's in spite of the latter’s physical superiority. His Don Juan and Henry V are admi- rable, and have succeeded without that beauty of figure and visage which to the caviling auditor might seem to be inseparable from these largely picto- rial characters. It may also be declared. with small fear of convincing contradiction, that Mansfield's versatility is not equaled by any actor of this or the last generation. It should be noted that late, in obe- dience to the sound prineiple that too much versatility is a drawback to last- ing greatness, he has added no new comic character to his delicious por- traiture of the volatile Prince Karl. He has wisely confined his efforts to his more serious roles, except when he re- turns for a night or two to the lighter one in order to secure temporary relax- ation from the wear and tear of tragedy.—Clay M. Greene in Munsey. L The flames devoured the wholesale, the retail and the best residential dis- tricts in the city. All the large music houses, of which San Francisco had a 00odly number, were destroyed. Thou- sands of pianos went up in smoke. The piano stock of one house was valued at $250,000. Immense stock of other in- struments and books and music fol- lowed the pianos :fln!kzlllnewew. On Tuesday Charles Frohman pre- sents Charles Klein's comedy, “The Lion and the Mouse”; and the following a welcome reappearance at the Crite- rion, when she will produce ‘“The Whirlwind,” an adaptation ofa French play originally produced’ by her at Birmingham'a month ago.—New @ork Dramatic N’ow.l. i ¥ “Protean plays” mnow are in the vaudeville field.

Margaret Anglin is to try in Boston } a new play by Evelyn Greenleaf Suth- erland entitled, “The, Conversion of Garrick.” Mrs. Sutherland is the au- thor also of Miss Percy Haswell's play, tried here, “A Midsummer’'s Eve.”—The | Billboard. . . “The Shulamite,” which Lena Ash- well submitted at the Savoy on Sat- urday, proved to be a splendidly dra- matic play, very strong and powerful throughout the first two acts, but a trifle weaker in its concluding scene. Still there should be little doubt as to its enjoying a prosperous run. and it furnishés the popular manageress with a magnificent opportunity for the ex- ercise of her various talents. She was splendidly supported by Norman Mec- Kinnell in the part of a stern old Boer, and Henry Ainley, in a very difficult part, also gave valuable assistance. The play was received with enthusi- asm.—New York Dramatic News. . . . Margaret Anglin and Henry Miller are well pleased with the reception given their production of “Young Fernald,” presented tentatively in Bos- ton last week, and the comedy will probably be included in Miss Anglin’s repertoire next season, though she will not cgnfine herself to this or any other one play. “Young Fernald” was orig- inally called “The Conversion of Car- rick” and was written by Evelyn Greenleaf Southerland and Beulah Dix. —Shubert’s Notes. . e . A notable production of the drama- tized version of “Ramona” is to be given in the very place where the in- cidents of the novel are laid. Ramona of the play will depict the life of the real Ramona amid the scenes where the real Ramona lived out the story which formed the basis for the great novel. Among the actors will be several San Jacinto people who were models from whom Mrs. Helen Hunt Jackson drew her characters. The original of the fascinating “Aunt Ri"—as herself—will be a dangerous rival of the star for the honors of the | piece. A special invitation will be ex- tended to the real Ramona, who still lives at the Saboba Indian village in the mountains back of San Jacinto. The idea originated with Miss Bessie Munn, & San Jacinto girl, who has been an instructor in a Los Angeles dra- matic school. It is planned, however, to give an outdoor production of the play during flesta time in Los Angeles. The actual story transpired in San Jacinto and nearly all the characters lived there. Such of them as death has not claimed are living there yet, says the Los Angeles Times. Mrs. J. C. Jordan, the original of Aunt Ri, is ab- lute authority for fdct which led to the writing of “Ramona” She is a merry, bright-eyed, witty old lady of 74. She has the heart of a girl, and a pretty wit of her own. She tells a story inimitably. She and her husband still live on the farm made famous in “Ra- mona,” where Alessandro brought the sick child. The old adobe house has fallen down, however. The Jordans came there by wagon many years ago for the benefit of Aunt Kis health. ~ Mrs. Helen t Jackson, sentimen- talist from Bostbn, came on her tour, looking into the conditions of the Mis- sion Indians, who were reported to have been converted “at the end of a riata.” ~She came to the Jordan house in San Jacinto while she was im - * 5 . | Peak, near Colorado Springs. saw of the Indians moved her strongly. The story which enjoyed such vogue was the result. Mrs. Jackson drew upon local characters for those pre- sented in her book. It is claimed that Ramona still lives in the vicinity San Diego, Cal., and is a big, fat squaw.

Jordan, of Sanger & Jordan, and Miss Ellen Terry result in her tour of Americ& next season in “Alice Sit by the Fire,” it will be one of the most interesting theatrical offerings in re- cent years, especially so as it will no doubt be Miss Terry's farewell tour of America.

A memorandum was handed down by the Supreme Court at Boston on May 29 deciding that the valuable paintings purchased by the late Jo- seph Jefferson belonged to the widow's share of the estate, and therefore she W entitled to the proceeds of the recent auction sale of them in New York. ~ The pictures brought about $200,000. The question came before the court on the petition of E. G. Black of Hasbrauck, N.

Fine actress as she wunquestionably is, the | actor-managers and playwrights of | across the water boomed her imto an | absolute fad. A playwright who wrote | a play containing an emotional role of | any intensity almost invariably de- | manded that Miss Ashwell should cre= ate the role, and as she was a free lance, playing only special engage= ments, the result was that for the lasg few seasons she has appeared in more | new plays than any woman on the | London stage. | Reports from London have it that im “The Shulamite,” in which she is to ap- | pear here, Miss Ashwell has at last | found a really big emotional role.
