Baldwin. In every city in which Mr.. Mans
field appears he is the object of an unusual
amount Of comment and makes many firm
adneTentS. San Francisco has proven 10
exception to the rule and his audiences
have been composed of the flower of San
Francisco intelligence and society. Nj.
Mansfield has made an unusual record dur
ing the previous three weeks Of his stay by
giving us four plays which were new to
theateT-gOers and vastly different in the
characters which he played. lie now pro-
poses TO eclipse this record by giving during
the coming week different play each night,
and two OF them viii be seen here for the
first time.

lows Monday Nero" Tuesday. Beau

nance; Thursday, prince KARI; Fri

Ten Thousand q Year" during which Mr.
Mansfield sings Home. Sweet Home, and
the second act of DR. Jekyli and Mr.
Hyde No living actor but Mansfield could
give programme ike this, emb0dying. as
IL does such a tremendous range of char
acter and should he not return here it is

this generation, have an opportunity OF see
ing il duplicated.

with an excellent reputation as a litterateuT
The action takes place during the last So
hours Of his deteStable life. The text Is
declared pointed and strong in a favorable
criticism; the speeches have a ring which
Is seemingly essential to tragedy, aud the
language throughout is Of excellent literary
quality. In short, the piece IS said to be
#ei constructed, has number OF good
dramatic situations, and has been arranged
so as to afford Mr.. Mansfield fine opp0T-
tunities for kind OF work in which he eX-
GELS. MI Mansfield Is the most courageous
as he Is the most versatile and brilliantly
creative actor in America to-day. He is an
UDuTlng worker, ana ne no sooner adds a
new character to the stage or throws new
light upon an old enc than he is active in
preparing TO present some other. HIS I'M
peTsOnatlOn of Nero viii raise him even
higher than ever in the estimation of his
warmeSt admirers, How closely and how
carefully Mr.. Mansfield has studied this
character may be learned by observing his
bits OF byplay and observing how consistent
be has made the character even in the
smallest matters Of detail. His work as
Nero is said to be as complete ana finished
as it is in Beau Brummel Theater-gOerS
viii undoubtedly rejoice at the chance of
seeing Mansfield in Tragedy.
