The San Francisco theaters present q
good list of attractions for the week of
March 28th. The Bostonians continue
Robin Hood at the Baldwin, All the
Comforts OF Home has it's last week at
the California, Corinne in Carmen Up to
Date comes to the Bush, John Dillon
appears in Wanted the Earth at the Al
cazar, and Bluff King Hal will be put
on at the Tivoli.
1 am sure you will be glad to learn
that Charles Fl. Hoyt's latest piece, A
Temperance Town, has scored an i'm.
mense success. l have always main
tanned Hoyt to be one of the coming
playwrights whom everyone is so eager
ly waiting. / have been laughed at
more or less for my opinion, but l have
found some pretty good men, and con-
servative men at that, who have agreed
with me. In A Temperance Town he
appears to have taken a long step in
the right direction. When the curtain
went down on the opening performance
the men stood up in their seats and
cheered, while the women were in tears
over a pathetic scene just closed. 1t

pie to tears, does it not? But mark my
words, the clever skits which have
made Hoyt's present fame are not what
he will be remembered for. but his rep
utation will rest on the serious and
earnest work that he can and will do.
He will always give us laughter with
the tears, but that is life.

Richard Mansfield follows the Bos.
tonians here and will present eight plays
during his coast tour.
Agnes Huntington is coming to Cali
fornia next month and will give Paul

Arthur Forrest, who will be more or
less pleasantly remembered for his per-
formance of the title role with the de-
funct Captain Swift company, is playing
leading parts at Cordray's Seattle
theater.
Frederick Warde was given a supper
in Oakland by the local Elks, after the

version OF The Strangers OF Paris which

pear as Rosalind in this city in May,
supported by local talent.

Merry Monarch and The Lion Tanner on

This is J. J. Gottlob's last week as
manager of the Bush Street theater,
Charles P. Hall taking his place. Mr..
Gottlob will succeed Harry Maun at the
California when that gentleman goes
east to take charge of AL Hayman's in
terests there. Mr.. Mann is one of the
best managers in the business and no
one could be found more worthy to fol-
low him than j.. j. Gottlob. But it is
hard to say goodbye to Mann.
George E. Lask, San Francisco boy,
is the manager of All the Comforts of
Home and will visit Los Angeles in that
capacity. He is one of Charles Froh-
mans most trusted lieutenants, and is
one of the best fellows alive.
