observations taken in the East have shown
that when this is the case it always breaks
out in new and unexpected places. The de-
velopment of the coming week may, the re-
fore, be awaited with interest," not untinged
with anxiety.
An exceptionally good performance was
that given OF Diplomacy" at the Colum-
bia Theater last week. The leading parts,
particularly those of Beach and Richman,
were in the hands of actors who made
them artistic pictures, and even the minor
characters were finished studies.
The propertyman made the performance
of Diplomacy" remarkable by some
rather clever compromises. which showed
that he desired to give the French coloring
and at the same time did not intend to
lose his hold on local interest.
For insCance, in the English embassy in
Paris the newspaper which the unhappy
husband snatched up in his despair and
affected to read in the full glare of the
footlights was Enthusiastically a French
journal, for the people in the stalls could
read the type of that politest of languages,
though they were little staggered to see
that the British diplomat was consoling one
of the most trying moments of his life by
studying lie Franco Californian. Perhaps
the propertyman wished to convey the
impression that if Doras conduct forced
her husband to fly to happier climes he
could not do better than turn his steps to
California.
1t was patriotic inspiration, too, to

At the AIcazar.

Tomorrow evening will inaugurate the
first performance of a romantic drama,
under the new management at Growers
Alcazar. The play selected is "Rosedale,"
which has always been favorlte in San
Francisco.
New scenery is being prepared for this
play, which lends itself particularly well to
scenic effect. Some novel displays OF
colored light will be introduced into the
gypsy camp scene, and careful after tion
will be paid to all the ballroom access
series. In the cast of "Rosedale"
Leonard Grover Jr. will appear as Bun
bury Cobb, part with which he has
already been successfully identified.
Hereward Hoyte has been selected for the
role of Elliot Gray; Miss Jennie Remark,
the leading lady of the company, will take
the part of Florence May, and Miss May
Noble will be the Rosa Leigh. The balance
of the cast will include Francis Powers,
Charles e. Lothian, Mrs. Fanny Young,
Miss Lillian Clayes and Miss Ida Park.

Tiyoli Opera-House.

The Tivoli company will desert grand
opera for this week and give it's attention
instead to opera of the ballad variety by
representing Balfe's ever-popular "Bohe-
milan Girl"
In this production the full strength OF
the regular Tivoli company will be util-
lied. The role of Airline, which has been
favorite with SO many prima donnas,
will be alternately sung by Laura MiIlard
and Alice Nelson. Mabella Baker will
sing the Gypsy Queen; Martin Pache,
Thaddeus; John J. Rafael, Count Arm
helm; w. H. West, Devilshoof, and
Arthur Mesmer, Florestine. All these
artists have before played the same parts
throughout the East and in the West with
success. Presentable scenery, correct cos
tunes, appropriate accessories, and care
fully trained chorus and orchestra will
tend to make the production as perfect as
possible.
On Monday evening, October 7, Verdis
opera LA Traviata" will be sung, with
Mile Ida Valerga in the role of Violetta
and Martin Pache as Alfredo. AS most
people are aware the plot is founded upon
Dumas story La Dame aux Camellias, u
and the title-role affords excellent acting
as well as singing opportunities to the
Drima donna.

AT the Orpheuna /.

The Orpheum's programme for this
week will include three 'star" features,
all imported from Europe. the special stel-
lar attraction being the Sisters Millar, who
are well known on the other side of the
Atlantic. They are said to be pretty serio-
comics, dancers and instrumentalists.
John Higgins, one of the new perform
ers, is advertised as the champion long
distance and trick jumper of the world.
He holds the championship of the world
in standing hop, two strides and jump,
covering the distance of fifty feet. This
remarkable gentleman can jump into a
basket of eggs without breaking single
one, and he can clear two horses 161a
hands high, standing size by side. in a
standing leap. His act is considered the
greatest athletic novelty that has yet been
introduced to Orpheum audiences.
Louis Fialkowski, 1.-THE Universal Man, I"
initiates birds and animals in manner

COW, the town from which he comes, as
well as in other parts of Europe. In addi-
ton to the above new performers num-
Der of last weeks favorites will be retained
on the programme.

"Trilby" is upon US, and there is no
foretelling what new and terrible form the
"Trilby" craze will assume during the
coming week. The most ominous feature
of the case is that San Francisco is nothing
if not original, and it would be considered
a blot on her escutcheon to rest satisfied
with the outward and visible manifesto
tons of Trilbyism which have been in
vented and patented in the East
At present there do not seem any new
Trilbyisms left to invent, that can be
practiced with safety outside an asylum,
but the coming week will put local origi-
nality to the test. If 1.-THE play catches on, as
it has done elsewhere, Trilbymania may be
expected to rise to an acute stage, and

the Pacific Coast at the Baldwin tomorrow
evening. So many compliments have been
paid by the Eastern journals to this pro-
duction, and especially to Lackaye for his
portrayal of the hypnotizing Svengali, that
considerable curiosity has been felt by the
theater-going public in the advent of the
play.
1t is said that when Potter first suggested
dramatizing "Trilby," his idea was con-
sidered an impossible one, but he succeeded
in making his work success by taking the
hypnotic element and weaving the play
about that, preserving as intact as possible
the Du Maurier sketches of characters, and
infusing the Quarter Latin atmosphere
into the play.
"Trilby" has been running for months
in New York City, where it is still in the
height of popularity. In Chicago the

AS long ago as 1909 and I'LL, when opera
was new fad in London, the critics used
to lash themselves into state of fury
over its incongruities; and in spite of it

unto the present day.
Here are few remarks thrown off by
Addison in I'LL. No one can deny that

grace that would be expected of the genial

For the last year and half sensational
paragraphs have cropped up periodically
about the writer of this work-"Balfe in a
poorhouse, The composer of the 'Bo-
hemian Girl penniless," etc.
The paragraphists really ought to have
learned by this time that twenty-f years
ago Michael William Bale went where
there are no poorhouses, and where pen

second generation has been passing through
the financial crisis. Michael William died
in peace and prosperity twenty-five years
ago, and the beautiful tablet to his memory
in Westminster Abbey bears these appro-
pirate words, which Pache will sing to-
morrow in the bohemian Grip:

saying that some of the performers at
Growers Alcazar might have applied to
themselves with inward satisfaction last
week. The utter absurdity of the dialogue
and situations in "Chip of the Old Block
made the whole thing depend upon the
cleverness and wit of the actors, and Miss
Plaisted, Mrs. Fanny Young and Misses
Scott and Lothian held up the four corners
admirably. Fanny Warren and Francis
Powers were also quite equal to the oc-
casion.
The one-sided love-making of Major
and Jerusha was one of the best bits, and
the bachelor menage, where the old salt
hung his dough on the clothes-line, was
received with rounds of applause. In the
midst of this comedy run wild, the little
pathetic duet between Mage and Pixey
was quite touching. Mage's part was only
dumb show, but it was just as telling.
The dancing was another feature in this
b right and frothy entertainment.

Grand Opera-House.

| The second week of the Milton Mobiles
season at the Grand will open tomorrow
evening with "From Sire to Son." or Sin
the Shadow of Shasta" This is perhaps
the best piece of the Mobiles repertoire. 1t
is California story, written by man who
is thoroughly acquainted with his subject,
and it possesses good many of the touches
of nature which have made Bret Harte's
Western stories so popular.
The entire action of "In the Shadow OF
Shasta is not confined to this State. In
the third act a tour Of Europe is begun,
which starts in Venice and ends with the
fourth act in Germany, the thread of the
story being continued meanwhile without
interruption.
Three new sets of scenery have been
painted for the production. They consist
of fine view of Shasta, an effective Ven
etan scene and an old castle on the Rhine.
A stagecoach, drawn by team of thor
oughbreds, will be one of the features of
the California scene. The cast will be as
follows:

was secretly made, and in all probability
to prevent legal interference with the pro-
jected American visit. 1t seems that she
could not agree with Mr.. Pollini on the
division of the money which she expects
to make here, and so took French leave of
him. Since he is member of the German
Society of Managers, whose principal pur-
pose is to punish singers who break their
contracts, it seems more than likely that
Frau Klafsky's European career is at an
end, unless she shall be willing to pay the
very stiff penalty which will be assessed
against her, and buy her way back into
the good graces of Mr.. Pollini and his col
leagues. She says he wanted half of all
her American earnings, and the statement
will seem plausible enough to those who
know the Hamburg manager.
