Opera Made Him Bald.

Sir Augustus Harris found his spring
season of grand opera pay so well at
Covent Garden that he has decided to try
the experiment of an autumn season. In
a recently published interview the great
impressario gives the following account of
his first operate venture. at was in 1887
that determined to take Italian opera in
hand and when preached the subject a
friend remarked: why! it's dead!' is
it?' said l. Well, I'll revive it or
give it decent BURIAL The immediate
result was that in six weeks l lost
$50, 600. Then / arrived at the conclusion
that / had buried opera, and that the
ceremony was rather q costly one. How
ever, in the following year Lord Charles
Beresferd wrote me note asking me to
call on him at the Admiralty. I thought
he wanted to see me about new light,
admirably suited tor naval purposes, in
which | was interested; but when l got to
Lord Charles office he asked me whether
/ would do another season of opera.
81 shook my head, and said there was
nothing in i'll meant opera, of course,
not nv head. However, Lord Charles in
vited me to meet a few friends of his at
Lady de Grey's, to discuss the matter over
a cup of tea. 1 went, and after we had an
exhaustive discussion, | said, If you will
take half the boxes for the season will
take Covent Garden This was agreed to,
and by the time opened there was not
box to let" To carry on an opera season
year after year is no light task, even
though it be financially successful; and as
Sir Augustus looked back over his exper-
fences he humorously remarked, II think
opera has taken off the few hairs that were
left on the top of my head"

New York City, was president of his class
in that famous institution, and, after
thorough hospital training and ex-

Conried's comedians will give their last
performance but two in San Francisco to-
night at the Baldwin Theater, when they
will present for the first time here Blum
enthal and Kadelburgs latest comedy,

more makes an ideal middle-aged English
lord who has exhausted the pleasures Of
life, and yet is neither too old nor too blase
to feel the warmth of natural affection.
There is acting of high order in his in
terview with Rose CoghIan, where he per-
sistently claims share in the son he has
ignored and forgotten for twenty years.
Rose Coghlan is almost tragic in the men,
tai struggle between her desire to retain
her son and her wish for his advancement
in life. The robust British matron, Lady
Caroline Pontefract, is an excellent study
in the hands of Miss Fanny Young; her
tender sotcitude for her unworthy hus-
band, who is far from approaching her at
tentions, makes excellent byplay.
Miss Margaret Craven is young actress
who, in addition to a charming personal
ity, is blessed with brains and with the
power of entering con amore into what
ever role she impersonates. As the soul
less society woman who dwells on the
border-land of propriety she is excellent;
her manner is sweet and baby-Iike, with
an underlying suggestion of 'hard"
morals, though she acts so charmingly
that one unconsciously finds oneself con-
doning the obvious looseness OF her prln-
ciples.

"Cry havoc, and let loose the dogs of
war" is the sentiment that seems to have
animated the author of 'Across the Poto-
mac" The play is entirely war drama;
few other interests enter into its compost
ton, and those that do are of a subordinate
character. Coulter Brinker acquitted him
self bravely in the Federal uniform and
drilled his men as to the manner born.
One might have thought that there was
too much marching and counter marching,
had not the mems evolutions afforded I'M
bounded satisfaction to the audiences at
the Grand. The last parade, when the
brave officer and the pale little woman
were led out to be shot at sunrise as spies,
was a CHASTITY one. Long experience of
melodrama had taught the beholders that
the victims would be snatched from the
jaws of death at the last moment, but, in
spite of this, the suspense was almost pain
full, as the sun was seen above the horizon
and the soldiers raised their arms to fire.

crate officer, but the audience had grown

except the comedy one of Roxey.
The hearty reception given to 'Faust''
at the Tivoli shows that San Francisco's
soul is not dead to grand opera. Those
devotees of music who love Gounod's
"Faust," and hold every bar of it sacred to
the great artists they have heard many
time and oft in the familiar score, may
question the educational value of a pro-
duction with so many "compremarios" in
the cast. It is all mistake, however,
to suppose that the mass of theater-
goers attend grand opera or anything else
