A Hotel Clerks "Reminiscences OF
Raymond, SOthern, BOucicault
and Booth.

Jimmie Marvin was found in remin-
iscent mood the other day by San
Francisco Examiner reporter. He was
talking of theatrical celebrities who fell
under his notice during the long years
he was chief clerk and virtual manager
of the Baldwin Hotel. The conversation
drifted to John T. Raymond's memory
Poor Raymond" said Marvin, she
was one of the most princely men | ever
met, in or out of the profession. His
money was scattered like chaff before the
wind, his one object seeming to be to get
all there was out of life, regardless OF
cost. Grave and quiet in manner, he
might have been taken for parson but
for the old twinkle that was never absent
from his eye. Practical jokes were his
hobby, next to matching coins, and the
poor chambermaids and bell-boys knew
little peace of mind while he was in the
house. They were always we'll paid for
their queer experiences, however, and as
his Jokes were always of a harmless
nature, little mischief was done.
"Very different was the elder Sothern.
He was joker, too, but his jokes were
characterized by so much wild reckless
ness that they were on a par with the
rest of his high-rolling proclivities. His
career came near being cut short during
his last visit here as the result of a pecu.
liarly severe joke of which he made a
big green Irish porter the butt. Mike
was perfect giant in stature, and as
fearless and careless of consequences as
the widest of his countrymen who ever
brandished shillelah.
"'Who did that to me?'
"Without suspecting that his anger
still burned answered him, and upstairs
for the actor's room he started, three
steps at time, his eyes flashing with a
murderous fire. I called another porter
and started after him as fast as we could
60, and we we're not a second too soon.
Mike had thrown up the window and
had picked Sothern up in his brawny
arms, and when We entered was actually
advancing to throw him out OF the win
dow.
.'Sothern was the most extravagant
man in his tastes that ever stopped a.
the Baldwin in my time, and though
genial and kind to to those he was com

The Philharmonic Society.

The Philharmonic Society will give it's
second concert week from tonight at
the Grand Opera House, and from all
appearances it is judged that every seat
will be taken. The high standard Of
music which this society presents
and the admirable manner in which it
is rendered, gives it reputation
which is second to none in the State. 1t
is the only society on the Coast or in the
west for that matter, which combines a
chorus and orchestra. Other societies on
special occasions employ orchestras to
accompany the singers, but the Philhar-
monic Society has its own orchestra on a
very large scale. which renders numbers
better than any orchestra outside
of Thomas, that has been heard
in this city. The programme for next
Monday night will include Beethoven's
fifth symphony and Mendelssohn's
Hymn Of Praise" neither of which
have ever been given in this city before.
There will be full rehearsal tonight at
Gardners Hall. The sale of seats will
commence Thursday morning at the box
office of the Grand Opera House.
