The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-10-26

Two hours of the very best, because the
most versatile. acting are in store tor
them. For two hours Mr.. Dixey will iral-
| tate sucessively the prince OF the black art
| Hermann; the famous Polish pianist,
Paderewski; the 'glassy eyed" Svengali;
the country girl of the play that made
Dixey's reputation, "Adonis," and the
eminent Sir Henry Irving of England.
He will also illustrate 1.-THE Seven Ages"
which is his own production. The last
scene is to be given in full. His manager,
w. l.. Lykens, made the arrangements for
setting the gallery apart for the newsboys
(that is, as much of it as is needed) yester-
| day afternoon.
Dixey will be all there. He is whole
company in himself. When he was COM
ing over from Europe on the steamer City
of Paris Rev. Lyman Abbott, Henry Ward
Beechers successor in Brooklyn, and An
drew Carnegie were also on board. AS the
custom is, an entertainment was given for
the benefit of the seamen's fund, Carnegie
being chairman of the committee conduct
ing it. At the conclusion Rev. Lyman
Abbott remarked, quoting from Scripture,
that daughter was as medicine to
man. but Dixey was a whole apothecary-
histrionic treat, and THE CALL will see to
| 1t that not one of them shall miss it.
Here is the programme that has been pre-
pared, Mr.. Dixey beng supported by his
own company and the entertainment be-
ing entitled IAN Afternoon With Dixey."

Mr.. Dixey will illustrate in sight of the audience
| each stage of the Seven Ages:
Arut info limo and rfncr int
nurses arms;
| 2. And then the whining schoolboy, with his
satchel, and shining morning face, creeping
like snail unwilling TO school;
8. And then the lover, signing like furnace. with
woeful ballad made to his mistress eyebrow:
! 4. Then soldier, full of strange oaths, and
bearded like the pard, Jealous in honor an: and
quick in quarrel, seeking the ubblereputation
even in the cannon's mouth;
B. And them the Justice in fair round belly with
| Of formal cut full OF wise saws and modern
| instances and SO he plays his part;
6. The sixth age shifts into the lean and sllppered
pantaloon, with spectacle on nose, and pouch
on side, his youthful hose, well saved,
world too wide for his sbrunk shank, and his
big manly voice, turning again toward childish
treble, pipes and whistles in his sound;
full history, is second chidishness, and mere
oblivion sans teeth sans eyes, sans taste, sans
everything, the seventh Age" that ends this
