THE DISTRIBUTION.
General Mention.

Young Hamlin, the manager and joint
author of ''The Fakir," one of the most sue
cessful of the farce comedies shortly ex-
pected here, is college graduate. and while
studying in New York looked to the inter
ests of his fathers theater in Chicago and
became Its manager after graduating.
The scarcity Of frst-class magcians is
something remarkable, only two competing
in this country-Professors Hermann and
Kellar. The formers face has been his
fortune, as he could easily go on for
Mephistopheles without the addition of any
make-up to his Countenance. NJ. b. Leavtt
OF the Bush-street controls ten weeks of
Herrmann's time at lump figure of $4,000,
a contract which will prove profitable for
both parties.
Musin's farewell concert at the Baldwin
was largely attended on Sunday night last
and gave great satisfaction. Mr.. johnson,
his advance manager, sends back word from
the Northwest that there are in that dlrec-
ton brilliant prospects for the season.
Ike ONO young man is prominent in the
amusement business. w. S. Cleveland owns
three big minstrel shows, aud the Miller
Brothers Of Columbus the spectacle called
kaJanta,' shortly expected in this city.

in pique. Barinkay marries Saffi, who
turns out to be tho daughter of Pasha.
Miss Tillie Salinger in this character has
several pretty numbers. such as THE
GYPSY Tribe, Though Poor. is Noted, In
This Gypsy Wood" 1.-THE Treasure Waltz"
and others, which she sings with much
effect. Fred Urban also distinguished
himself as Homonay. in the recruiting song
and the Hungarian Czardas, sort of love
and wine lyric, and Branson's opening song,
In Early Years an Orphan l." was ap-
plauded. The opera, in fact. is very bright
composition. Heinrich Conreid based his
success on it, having produced it 500 times
in the United States.

THE THEATERS.
Despite the Rain All the Houses
We're Crowded.
Success of the County Fair"-The Cleveland
Minstrels Go With Rush-Beach's
Benefit" The Gypsy Baron"

The singular condition, for San Fran
cisco, was presented last evening of torrents
of rain and, at the same time, crowded
theaters. At the Baldwin there was fash
ionable audience that filled every part of the
auditorium to see the production of Charles
Barnard's "The County Fair" with the
mechanical appliance patented by Mr..
Neil Burgess, relating to the race scene in
the last act on which so much stress
has been laid. While this patent
is remarkable and most exciting one-as
may be learned from the full description
and the illustration given in THE CALL of
Sunday laSt-"The County Fair would
pass muster as good play independent of
it. The piece is full of surprises. The first
two acts have such an exquisite flavor of
Eastern American country life, where the
kernel of true humanity is hidden under the
rigid Puritan habit Of the people. that the
business captiyates and softens the hard
est and most worldly minded and
that too without any extreme effort being
made to that end. 1t is smooth and truth
fully natural. The character of Miss Abb
gail Prue (personated by Marie Bates is
drawn by master-hand. All the lines are
easily recognizable, until the pathos and
humor of the good old spinster, especially
in defending her waits against the cold
charity of the world, bring moisture in-
voluntarily TO ones eyes. Miss Bates plays
the character much better, in our opinion,
than Neil Burgess would have done.
There is too much of the real woman in it
for a man to assume, and at the same time
make it effective. The waits, Tim, the
tanner, Edward See) aud Tags (Margaret
May, both graduates from the streets of
New York, were well sustained. In the
latter, Miss May gives US side lights of her
early life that she struggles tn subdue to
the calmer and more enjoyable atmosphere
of her country home. As Otis Tucker.
Thomas McGratth contributes much
to the bumor of the occasion,
principally by revealing the would
be crusty spnster indulging in a
woman's weakness falling in love. Scion
Hammerhead DANES 4. SMITH is the usual
devil in Paradise menacing the spinster
with the foreclosure of mortgage, which
Tim, one of her waits, manages to enable
her to pay off by winning the race at the
country with her colt, named Gold Mo-
lasses," on account of his apparent Slow
ness. The race is climax that car
ried the audience by storm and made
them think of the excitement on
Liedesdortf street when the pool-rooms
were in operation. The scenery in all the
four acts is realistic, and painted by a mas
ter of the brush. ''rhe County Fair" is evil

Under the Gaslght" was produced at
the Alcazar, directed by Mr.. Arthur RehaD,
for the benefit of Mr. William Beach, first, in
acknowledgment of this young actors abil-
ity, and, second, because he came very near
being knocked out recently by an attack of
disease. The performance was the begin
ming of run to last probably a fortnight.
Mr.. Rehan has made very complete pro-
duction of the piece, restoring many of the
original features lost in the misuse of
the play by the carelessness and ignorance
of stage pirates and inferior organizations.
The locomotive scene is now patent one,
and startlingly real and the North River
dock scene in the same act is picturesque
and almost photographcally correct. Such
attention, in fact, is generally paid to the
details in this instance that the famous old
piece is freshened to the point almost of
putting in claim for novelty. The cast
was quite strong Mr.. Beach made
great deal out of the Gne-armed
soldier Smokey, and Mr.. Wilson is
Brandon and Miss Idalene Cotton are
easy and graceful in the ladies' Of the cast,
Laura and Pearl CORTLAND. while Miss
Fanny Bowman displays much originality
in the eccentric character Of Peachblosson.
Mr.. Leo Cooper has more robust
part than is usually assigned him
in the signal-man at Shrewsbury
Bend, but he catches its broader
style very readily. Mr.. Nick Long under
stands the role of Ray Trafford, sort of
siver-lined dude, and George II. Traders
Bermudas has the true flavor of the New
York ''lawer five." The melodrama is what
its author. Augustin Daily, claims for TIA
picture of life in the Empire City. We have
it in the foreground, middle distance and
perspective, in the strong lights, half lights
aud negatives.
