MY FATHERLAND.
A Work by Smetana at
the Sci1eel Concert.
The Popular Conductor Interpret:
Mozart, Beethoven and Four
Modern Writers.

1t would be impossible to give too much
praise to the excellence of Herr Scheers
programmes at the symphony concerts.
He never neglects the standard classics,
and, yet during the ten Friday
concerts, since the openiDg of the Audi
toTium, he has also given the San Fran
cisco public an opportunity of hearing and
enjoying some of the most modern music
and the latest European successes.
Inc standard classics last night were
the Mozart symphony in G minor and
Beethoven's "Corlolanus" overture. The
orchestra was In excellent form and gave
worthy Interpretation to both ks.
Modern music was epreseDted bya French
composer. two Bohemians and a Russian.
In Saint-Sa.ns' "IntroductioD and R0ndo
Capricciso," for violin and grand orches-
ira. Bernhard Mollenhauer was the soloist.
He played with his usual fluent and fin
ished execution, and won considerable ap-
plause.
The second part of the programme be-
gan with the late Tschaikowsky's Italian
Caprice" for grand orchestra. The almost
savage power of the work and tho brilliant,
effective orchestration wers we'll brought
out in The interpretation, and The applause
was so determined mat after the hole
body of musicians mad Tisen TO acknowl-
edge IL. in response to their conductors
command. il took all Herr ScheePs firm
ness to resist an encore.
The next work was number from
Smetana's suite. "My Fatherland"
Though this Bohemian composer has been
in his grave twelve years his music has
only JUST become popular. indeed Smetana
is about the latest European craze and the
My Fathsrland'' suite has every
where met with success. The num-
Der played last night was based on
themes that were simple and full
Of beautiful melody. Their DEVELOPMENT
was graceful and skillfui. and the orcnes-
tration, particularly toward the emit of the
suite, was thoroughly modern. Appar-
emily this was the first orchestral work of
Smetana's that has been heard in San
Francisco. though some of his chamber
music was performed at recent Car-Beel
pop.
The concert concluded with some Sla-
vonic dances by DIR. Dvorak, the Bohe-
milan composer, whose American SYM
Dhony. From the New World" is soon 10
be heard at one of the Scheel concerts.
The dances were beautiful and character
istic and were brilliantly played.

HE ENJOYED 1T.
An Old Miner Gives an
Actress a Deed.
The Performance and Sight of q
Pretty Figure Worth 1900
Acres to Him.

A queer incident occurred at the Cali
| fornia Theater Thursday night. The play
of ''The New Boy" as rendered that even
| ing. was distinctly an ''event" in the lives
| OF two people-one a weather-hardeaed
old miner and the other Miss Julia Kings
ley of the New Boy Company.
TIE curtain was still down and the or
chestra only touching the opening notes of
| the overture. when the miner approached
the ticket window and said: SIS this show
O. y0urn any good"
I'VE think it isl said the ticke-seller,
modestly.
The miner placed a twenty-dolIar gold
piece before the treasurer and said: 81
want the best box in the house. haven't
been inside theater for fifteen years"
He was conducted to and given sole pos
session of lower box to the right of the
stage. where, careless of the attention that
he attracted. he inspected every part of
the theater
1t was when the curtain went up, how
ever. that the old man really began to en-
Joy himself. Leaning forward he watched
| the movement of the play intenty.
Miss Julia Kingsley plays the part of
| Susan. the waiting maid 10 DR.. Caudy's
school The actress Is of plum figure and
very pretty. Her acting part is a good one.
but one which, from the nature of il. never
evokes much applause.
When Julia came on Thursday rig ht.
however. she evidently captured all old
miners heart who wned, for the time. the
lower right-hand box. The old man be-
came wholly oblivious of the audience and
saw In Susan the waiting maid the star
part of the comedy. Everything that
Susan did broughta burst of applause from
the old man in the box often while the
house was otherwise absolu ely quiet, and
always to the evident disco mfiture of Susan
herself.
The audience began to enjoy the situa-
ton as a rare bit OF by-play not provided
for in the bill.
In tho third act Miss Kingsley does
little dance with Mr.. Coote, who PLAYS the
new boy. This developed n climax. Rising
from his seat the old man shouted, "Good !
Best ever sswW TO which more than to
the dance the audience shouted its ap-
plause.
At the conclusion of the play the old
man approached Manager Du Bots of the
company, who was talking with Mr.. Fried
lander o. the theater in the lobby.
We'll. l wonder If [ haven't enloyed
myself" he said. But that girl, Susan

Before either of the managers had quite
comprebeEded the situation the old miner
had Shambled away into he crowd. Miss
Kingsley is in doubt whether she will
accept or return the deed.
