The sullivan Boom.
Perhaps if large sums of money had been
paid the different newspapers for the
"write-ups" Of John /. Sullivan's infrmi-
ties it could not have benefited the actor
pugiisU in a business way more than the
various articles that have appered. written
con am0re. The Bush-stTeet was Gro wded
10 repletiUn last evening. Some intimation
had been thrown out that the e0l6r-hating
boxer was to be aSSasSInated by the friends
Of Peter jackson. Several anonymous let
tiers have been received TO that effect. This
may account for the press of people. But
the only disturbance noticeable was the
fOrcible eviction of an eyeglasSed young
man who had bIaced his way into
the tbeateT, on the claim that his
father was q theatrical printer in London.
He was full and disturbed the audience;
therefore was he shot ont from the theater
by the policeman and the do0r-keepeT ike
a stone from a catapauit. He dropped his
glasses and his billy-cOck hat on the side
walk, which some byStanders kindly re-
stored to him. The dark element in the
community are awfully down on Sullivan
for his expressed opposition to their color.
There is no representation any night from
that class at the theater; and it may be that

town. especially when he receives such
communications as the following:
Pete Jackson will give you the Kicking that
If you are not very careful you will not leave
this burg alive. You are The scum OF the earth,

Charles Erin Werner appears to have made
a decided impression on the too easily i'm
pressible Irish heart of San Francisco. He
has caught their hidden feeling, that latent
power that even Boucieault could not draw
out when he thought he was enn0bling the
Irish character on the stage. Werner aD-
pears TO have reached the depths of the
HbeUnan instinct, and has aroused the old
spirit and tradition that Patrick has not
yet unlearned. There is one character
III "Shamus O'Brien" that has not
yet been sufficiently noticed, and that is the
widow. the mother Of the young Irishman,
perSOnated by Miss Fanny Young. This
excellent actress, who is cOmpetent for
every assignment, it would appear, makes a
distinctive figure in the cast Her English

had been born to it. and IN the business she
fills all the acquisitions so nicely and COM
lletely that nothing is left to be desired
She is in this, as in every other character
she assumes, an actress.
At the Baldwin.
The business with 9 Men and Women" at
the Baldwin continues most satisfactory.
The taper end of a months run appears to
be the biggest four weeks continuance
Of one play in San Francisco is exceptional,
and speaks volumes, If not for the play. for
the splendid acting ability of those who

good for the coming attraction next week

little folks enter on their engagement at the
