californias Crop of Famous Actors and Singers

California, so rich in natural products, has
been prolific also of bistrionc genius.
When. however, inquiry becomes narrowed
down to such memb rs of the theatrical pro-
fession as have originated in this State and
srlerwad become prominent in the profession
elsewhere the field is at once cleared
The result OF such an inquiry Is here given,
and IL will be seen that th, qualifications re-
ferred TO cnt off a great many weil-known
names often associated with the California
stage.
For instance. 1t was thought at one time that
we could claim Edwin Booth and that he made
his disappearance at the Jenny Llnd Theater,
now the old City Hall, as Wiliord, supporting
his father when in 1851 he played Sir Edward
Mortimer In Coleman the younger's trag dy
"The Iron Chest" But The claim will not
hold. Young Booths first appearance was as
Tressil in "Richard III' at the Boston Mu-
scum, September 10, 1S49.
May Anderson Is proudly claimed by Call
fornia as a native daughter OF her State, al
though 1t must be confessed that that great
actress has not been very closely identified
with our stage.
1t was in IS49 that the Eagle Theater-the
first in Califoinia-was built in Sacramento,
being in size 3Ox65 feet, built of lusn Der cost
Ing from 5000 TO 500 per thousand, its roof
being formed OF sheet-irOn and lin and its sides
OF canvas sewed together by men paid SIC a
Gay for the job. Pieces of packing boxes served
for the stage which was 16 feet deeps there
were only tnree drop seenes-a wood, street
and an interior AS an entrance TO the second
tier or gallery a s!ep-ladder was provided out
side the building. and in deierence TO the ladies
canvas was nailed beneath 1t. Seats were of
rough boards the bare ground serving as
floor and eople raid for their admission in
god-ousi, weighed at The "box-oifice"
In October, 1851, The Jenny Lind Theater,
capable of seating 1000, was opened on The
"plaza'' in this city, but was soon SOLD for
Ciy Hall. In the same year the American
Theaier was bui;.

Quic ly he histrlonic art ooh root here, it may
be noted that In the following decade almost
every mining town possessed It's "theater."
Yet with such a short. almost ephemera his

stars have arisen in the California stage frma-

OF "Rosalynde." All In general applauded the
admirable riches that nature had bestowed on
her face
But Rosalind is one of Shakespeare's most
complete characters, In spite OF Its apparent
colorlessness.
A critic, writing soon after her Stratford
performance, obseryed: Her RosaIind was
girilsh rather than womanly, but it was so
brightly frankly healthily girlish that TO have
quaIreled with 1t would have been sheer cap.
tiousness."
On her return TO New York in the autumn of
1885 Mary Anderson disappointed the papers
and the public generally by absolutely refusing
to be interviewed. Not a word could be wrung
from her respecting her European experience
nor her future plans. and there was general
feeling tha foreign success had rendered her
slightly naughty.
After season with Rosalind at the Star The
ater In New York and an extended tour of the
United States. Mary Anderson returned to
England in June, 1886, and since that time
with The exception of visits 10 the United
States, seems TO have adopted Europe as her
permanent abode.
This has led to good deal of patriotic COM
ment in America, but one excuse can readily
BE- found. Mary Anderson. as a talented
woman with Spotless name, has been well
eomed into the highest as wei! as into The most
cultured society In the British Isles. She has
been the honored guest of an ariStocracy that
respects talent, and her friendship with such
gifted persons as Black, the novelist, is well
known.
In America people ''who sing and play and
act" have "a very much lower social standing;
askance when they presume 10 cross its por-
tails.
Few actresses have been more conscientious
and panstaking than Mary Anderson; she is
never known 10 have snrkt rehearsal and
has also taken a personal interest In the re-
bearsals OF the various members OF her CON-
ranes. Her support" however, always
speak enthusiastically OF her Kindness and
consideration.
Classical and statuesque beauty like Mary
AndersoD's is rare, aud this may IN some meas
uTe account for the eXtI eme popularity OF her
pictures. Not one of her contemporaries is

In 1889 she appeared in New York In "a
Winters Tale" playing Hermone and Per
dta. Many critics pronounced this difficult
play 10 be her greatest success, partly on ac-
count of The fact that 1t demands more pathos.

been considered cold in the portrayal of the
latter sentiment

condition to tile shrewd management OF OLD
! Mrs. CrabIrer. Mrs. Crabtree is a financirr to
the backbone. She has guarded Lo'ta's earn
ings like ST. Georges dragon. She has never
permitted any extravaganza, and In the height
OF her affiuence her companies have been or
ganized with rs much care and financial pre-.
cislon as though Miss Lotta were about to risk
q transforming tour.
IL is said that Lotta has a mortgage Of $3.50,
600 on a welI-known hat factory in New York.
AT any rate. she owns the Park Theater in Bos-
ton. free from all incumbrances aud her
brother. John Crabtree, manages 1t for her.
Mrs. Crabtree is a terror to the actors and
actresses in her daughters company and Lotta
Is completely under her control.
There has never been but one Lotta. This
little lady has founded school Her imitat0rs
are to be counted by ten thousands, and on
the principle that imitation can never equal the
original, Lotta sill has no rival
In private life Lolita is delightful, or as de-
llghtfu as Mrs. Crablree will permit her 10 be.
Lotta dotes on her brother Jack, who is known
as rather wild young man with good heart.
She is superstitous, like most members OF
the theatrical profession. Lota never permits
a discarded horseshoe 10 remain unmOeSted.
She captures aud gleefully keeps the biz of iron.
Lolita is credit d With a belief in spirltuaism,
but this has never been verified beyond doubt.
