What Popular San Antonio Stage
FaVorites are DoIng--What
They Propose To Do.


They Propose To Do.
THE NEW TRAGEDIAN.
Among the new corners who are to
make their debut at the Grand opera
house during this SESSION, is Mr.. Cres-
ton Clarke, son of John Sleeper
Clarke, the well known comedian, and
his wife, the sister of Edwin Booth,
the eminent tragedan. Mr.. Clarke
was born in London, England, in 1865,
where his father was then playing,
and is therefore only "a years of age.
After being primarily educated at a
school near London, he graduated at
the College of Notre Dame, st. CroiX,
near Paris, France. AT first he pro-
posed to become priest, but a copy of
Shakespeare falling into his hands, he
adopted the stage, proba bly, actuated
by hereditary tastes, and in 1882 he
played in the English provinces in
what is known as Cup aud Saucer
Comedy" He played minor parts for
some time, and gradually advanced.
His main hit was made as "A bel Muir
cott,n the broken down clerk, in ''Our
American Cousin.n In 1856 he joined
Wallack's company, in New York,
AID played for a season there. In
1887, Creston Clarke appeared as
Hamlet" in Richmond, Virginia,
just siXty-six years after his grand
father essayed that character in the
same city and made great success.
Bearing a marked resem blance to Ed
win Booth, having a finer figure,
magnificent voice and strong drama
tic power he took his audience by
storm, aud it was declared that upon
him must the mantle of Edwin Booth
fall when he, the veteran tragedian,
quits the thespian stage. Philadel-
phia and other cities have confirmed
Richmond's judgement, and today
Creston Clarke is generally recognized
as the coming Hamlet" Edwin
Booth is proud of his nephew and be-
lieving that he can now play Claude
Melnotte, and Don Caesar better than
himself, he has presented his Co.'S
tunes, etc., for those characters, to
him. Booth will play these imper-
sonations no more, but Creston Clarke
will include them in his repertoire.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THEATRES.

Two important innovations have
been introduced into certain New
York theatres that are of great adj
vantage to the play-going public.
The first is the introduction of iced
air, and the simultaneous expulsion
of hot, foul air from the auditorium,
maintaining pure air at an average
temperature of 20 degrees, fahrenheit;
the second is the removal of the foot
lights from the stage, and the placing
of incandescent lights under the dress
circle in such a position that the I'M
pleasant glare of the footlights is
avoided, and enough reflected light
thrown upon the stage for all practi-
cal and necessary illumination. An
other improvement is made, that Of
placing the orchestra under the stage,
as done in England, France and Ger
many, by which means the music is
subdued and rendered more effective.
Moreover, the voice of the actors can
not be drowned as sometimes they
have been by too much ''FOrtisimO.'
These notes are commended for Man
ager Mullaly's consideration. The
first improvement cannot well be in
troduced by him because it needs
costly machinery and an enormous
consumption of ice, that would be diff
ficult to attain here, but the two lat
ter improvements could be affected at
very trifiing cost.

Fritz Emmett has engaged Mr..
Walter Osmond to play the neavy vii
lain, and he will appear with "F--tz'
in San Antonio.
O. w. Blake, who was here with
tie Wallick "Cattle King" company,
is an old acquaintance OF Leon, of the
Tivoli Garden theatre. They met
here after a separation of 20 years
and of course shook hands and
smiled. Burt G. Clark, the kansas
jake of the Wallick company is also
an old time variety performer.
THE LANGTRY SCANDAL.
Scandal mongers are still harpine
upon Mrs. Langvry's ar preaching
marriage to bGehart, and have even
| rome so far as to announce that sht
| has filed a suit for divorce, and tt
| give the approximate date of her mar
| ,.iape with Freddie. AS matter o
TACT Mrs. Langtry has filed no suit foI
divorce, and is not likely to do so, anc
she has denied, over her own sigma
ture, the alleged engagement to Fred
Gle. Mrs. Langtry is still in friendly
| relation with her usband, he ma
not deserted her, he is now well abb
to support Der as lady and is Will
ing to receive her home. Lilies In
fatuation for the stage has been thu
only thing that has caused the separ
alton, and private advices from
friends of both Mr.. and Mrs. Langtry
give the hope of a reunion, but II
that case Lille will have TO retir
from the stage, as Mr.. Langtry ha
an English gentleman's natural ao
florence of stage life for women.

Charged With Perturv.

w. W. Dorward, while prospecting for
gold in the mountains near Newhall, yes
terday, was arrested and brought to this
city on the Southern Pacific overland
train by Deputy Constable Rury. The
charge is perjury, which according to the

ly and falsely depose, swear and testify
on oath-which he knew to be false, ;,
material fact in the case of B. A. Breaky
vs.. Alfred Moore, before Justice A. J.
King, "all of which is contrary to the
statute in such cases made and provided,
and against the peace and dignity OF the
people of the State of California" Dor
ward will be arraigned before Justice A.
J. King this morning.

The PomoiogicaI Fair.

During next week the great event Of
the annual session of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge, I. 0. O. F., of the world
occurs in this city. In houor of this
great occasion the Los Angeles County
Pathological Society has undertaken to
hold an exposition of the natural pro-
ducts of this part of the State. They
are very substantially assisted by the
Odd Fellows Of this city in this effort to
place in artistic display the wonderful
productions of this prolific county. The
fpace in the Academy of Music is nearly
all subscribed for, and an enthusiasm
prevails among the pomologists of South
ern California unequalled and unpara-
lleled. The ladies Of the w. G. 4. U.
have entered the lists, and will call upon
the citizens for assistance to defray the
expenses Of the exposition. It is hoped
that the people of this progressive town
will contribute to the support of the fair
as enthusiastically as the pomologists of
the county will with their products.

CRIME AND ACCIDENT.
A Midnight Chase After
Strayed Horses.
CAPTURE OF STOLEN GOODS.
Two. Runaways-Arrested for Per-
jury-A Dog Fight on
the Quiet.

Mr.. Joseph Kwachegroch, of East Los
Angeles, appears to have some other
funny things about him besides his name.
Early yesterday morning. as the "glow
worm gan to pale his Intellectual fire."
he woke up, and remembered that he
had not fastened the corral. There was
no doubt that his cattle were all loose
and wandering around in search of some
horse thief to adopt them for his own.
As it was dark as Erebus, clothing SEEM
like a superfuous luxury, and the pro-
cess of dressing a needless waste of time.
Hastily picking up his shoes, to be ready
for the emergency of daylight or rough
roads, he started off in search of the lost
animals, the early morning breeze blow
ing fitfully through the tails of his robe
de nuit.
He had not gone far when Officer Nc
Guire espied him, and the latter, wish
ing the credit of capturing real live
ghost, started after him on the run.
This frightened Joseph, and he
set off at full speed. 1t was
a lively chase. Mr.. Kwachegroch
was excellently equipped for the heat.
but the officers reputation was at stake,
auu Iu0 prOSpecC O1 rare capture WAS
plainly ahead of him. At last one of the
tails futtering in the wind gave the
officer chance to seize the fugitive, and
Joseph was stopped.
"Vy you chase me alretty ?" said
Joseph. IT leave dose tings vat you
steal all by der house."
81 am no sand-bagger," said Mr..
Mcclure. "I am an officer. What do
you mean by exposing yourself to the
public in this sort OF style?"
"I 60 out to drive my horses"
"What is your name?" asked the
officer.
"Kwachergroch
"Drunk or crazy" soliloquized the
officer. "You may come with me-"
In spite of his protests Joseph was
taken to the station, where he managed
to give more reasonable account of
himself. He was allowed to return to
his home, but to save him fromsre-arrest
it was thought necessary to provide him
with pass. Ii it had not been for this
document Officer Martin would have
brought him in again.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-09-12

BY this time the town and surrounding
vicinity were aroused ard every effort was
made to stop the flames from reaching
Hamilton's livery stable but in vain. The
building was destroyed and also an ad-
jacent structure the property of w. B.
Forsythe, before the flames could be
checked. The horses were cut loose
from their stalls and all escaped, but
everything else was total loss. In ad-
dition to bis establishment Mr.. Hamilton
lost twenty tons of hay, and the total
damage done by the fire is estimated at
SO 900. The stable was insured for 5000,
and the saloon for $500; the rest of the
buildings we're uninsured.

A Lot of Excitement Hut No Harm
Done.
Yesterday afternoon two horses at
tached to a dirt wagon that was being
driven down First street became unman-
ageable and set off at full speed toward
the Santa Fe depot. They turned into
Santa Fe street and then collided with
several telegraph poles, ultimately
wrenching wheel from the vehicle and
checking their progress. The driver was
thrown heavily to the ground and had
his foot badly hurt.
An episode of similar nature occurred
outside the postoffice a few hours late !.
A two-horse wagon, drawn by q pair Of
grays, created the excitement which did
not last very long, as the steeds were
quickly captured before any harm was
done.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Hel rmann, the Wizard at the
Grand.
Such house as packed the Grand
last night to see the famous Hermann in
his miraculous feats The audience filed
every seat half an hour before the cur
tain rose, and the sign announcing
standing room on ly" had to be re-
moved few moments afterwards, for
there was no more standing room to be
had. Hermann is great, very great, the
greatest Of his kind that
has ever appeared in this
city. Indeed, compared with this aston.
ishing illusionist, all the others sink to
the ranks of mere pigmies, while he
stands giant before all who try the arts
of legerdemain. He takes a goose out of
snuff-box. He extracts whole box OF
eggs from negro's mouth. One passes
over tricks with cards, the finding of a
whole dry goods store in a mans hat,
tearing up lady's handkerchief or glove
and then finding it in some mans vest
pocket. All these tricks ara merely ele-
mentary and Introductory in Mr.. Herr
mann's performance. When he gets
down to work and tries really to amuse
the audience by entertaining all present
he takes turn at "Black Art" calls
spirits from the vastly deep and makes
them come. In the Immediate presence
OF the audience he decapitates a live
woman and then replaces the
head upon the proper shoulders.
His illusions are startling, orig
inal, most deceptive to the senses
And, great as Mr.. Hermann is, he does
not depend on his own unaided efforts
for success. He has with him D'Alvini,
the juggler, who is as great in his way
as anyone who has heretofore appeared
in Los Angeles. D'Alvini simply ami
hilates the law OF attraction, defies the
gravity of the earth, balances whole
world OF ponderous stuff in mid-air, and
laughs at physical laws, just as Herr
mann does.
Then, as if people were all made of
greed and as if nothing could satisfy
play-goers, there is magic lantern ex-
hibition of the prettiest pictures ever cast
on canvas. We're there no other part to
the show, these pictures would be we'll
worth paying admission to see. Yet they
are only an interlude in this great even
ing's entertainment. Hermann is sure
to do great business all the week.

The Palmer Company.

Things are progressing most satisfac-
torily for the appearance Of Mr.. A. M.
Palmer's great Madison Square Company
at the Grand next week. This is an
event which far eclipses anything yet
chronicled in Los Angeles. The Palmer
Company comprises no less than 25
artists, each a specialist, and each
at the head of his class. Never
has the drama in any of its
phases had the presentation in this city
which will mark the production of Jim,
the Pemman. Heart of Hearts, Saints and
Sinners, and Partners at the Grand next
week. There will not be flaw from be-
ginning to end in the rendition of any
line in these four great plays. The in
terest of the play -goers of Los Angeles is
thoroughly aroused, and already one
hears of nothing in polite society but
about the Palmer Company.
