The "Trilby" craze has not yet
reached its zenith. The famous novel
by Du Maurier has been dramaliZed
and the work has been successfully ac-
compHshed. Paul M. Potter has done
the work and done it we'll He has fol-
lowed the story in excellent fashion
and instead of destroying some Of the
characters. principal and minor, he has
improved the work required Of all. The
last act of "TLby" presents one Of the
greatest scenes ever witnessed upon any
stage. It represents the death scene,
in which the hypnotic effect Of the pho
tograph is utilized. In organizing a

JAMES A. REILLY.

There are few actors on the road to-
day who have made as much money
and spent as much as James A. Reilly
and still fewer who never fail to draw
crowded houses and give the satisfac-
tion he does wherever he appears
This season Mr.. Reilly appears i'm two
of his best plays, "A German Soldier
and "The Broom Maker and he will
present them both to his admirers in
this city at the Grand Opera House the
first half of this week. "A German
Soldier" Will be given on Monday and
Tuesday evenings and The Broom
Maker" Wednesday afternoon and
evening. In both these plays, Reilly
sings his many charming songs, some
of the old fayorites and many of his
latest compositions. He is supported
by a first class company, which still
includes Miss May TempletOn and his
own two cute little children. 1t is safe
to redict that Reilly's engagement
will be a successful one. Seats at the

A Big House Greets "Trilby'
the First Night of the
Second Week.
" Bertha" at Morosco's-Opera a
the Tivoli-The Orpheum.
Animal Show.

The sign, ''Standing room only" at the
door of the Baldwin Theater last night
showed that "Trilby," at the opening of
its second week, was not suffering from
lack of appreciation.
The play in fact seems to have caught
the popular fancy, for one reason doubt
less because there is material in it to suit
variety of tastes. Lovers of the weird
and mystic reyel in Lackaye's intense act
ing as Svengali; those who enjoy the op-
posite extreme of fippancy and frivolity
consider Martinetti's impersonations of
Zou Zou one of the chief attractions of the
play. and the racy studio revels in the
second act always prove highly entertain
ing.
With all its heterogeneity, the more one
sees the play the more one realizes that it
is very skillful piece. of workmanship. The
hypnotic element is just used enough to be
suggestive, but is never pushed to the verge of
demanding too much from the imagination of
the audience. "Trilby' in the hands of a less
judicious drAmatist might very easily have
become ridiculous, but though Potter has not
made great play of it he has succeeded in
bu ilding an interesting and effective one.

At the Columbia,

There was fair attendance at the Columbia
Theater last evening to witness the entertain
ment given in behalf of the German schools of
this City, but it was not such an audience as
the performance and the cause deserved.
There was vocal and instrumental music and
all exhibition of gymnastics by number of
the best athletes OF the several Turner societies.
Following the overture a chorus of ladies
and gentlemen from the singing section of the
San Francisco Turn Verein rendered in a
manner that won for the singers prolonged ap-
plause, "Einzug der Gaeste auf der Wartburg,'
from "Tannhauser." Thirty-two young men,
dressed in athletic suits of gray, gave an exhi-
bition of marching and of exercise with
silver wands, every movement by the COM
bined number being that of one man.
Miss Minnie Powell sang Glove Light of
Her Eyes, composed by J. w. Mckenzie, who
accompanied her on the piano. 1t is a charm
ing melody, and it was the first time it was
sung in public. The Columbia Either Club,
conducted by Professor F. Fischer, gave the
"Parade March, a very fine instrumental num-
Der. Then came a class of sixteen athletes who
gave very meritorious exhibition of strength,
agility and grace on the horizontal and parallel
bars. Mrs. H. Weiner sang "Das Ersle Lied,''
and the entertainment closed with "The Flag
of Liberty" by the San Francisco Turn Verein
chorus.
The participants acquitted themselves well,
and their efforts were recognized by liberal ap-
plauSe.

At the Tiynli.

LA Traviata," which was produced at the
Tfvoli last night, was about the best perform
ance that has yet been given in the grand
opera series-that is to say, the production
approached nearer the Interpretation which
one is accustomed to associate with such
works.
Dramatically speaking, and to great extent
persistent tremolo I'm her voice was less in
evidence than in some of the operas i'll
which she has recently appeared, and her sing
ing of the brindisi in the first act could be
thoroughly commended.
Rafael was more than good as Germont.
His acting was sincere and earnest beyond the
common run of opera acting, and his singing
was agreeable and easy. Martin Pache gave a
brutality to the character of Alfredo that may

smugglers, but that was out of place in Paris.
Alfredo is generally successful when played
with intensity, but it is a novel rendering of
the part to make him throw his hat at one of
the ladies in the gambling scene.

sprlghtly performance of 'My Son-in-Law''
was given at Growers Alcazar last night.

sumo that relationship, acted dashingly as the

not know what to do. Mrs. Fanny Young

John oHBTWOoD,s BRIEF.
1t Says the Califo rnia National Bank
Was Wrecked by It's Cashier.

Was wrecked by Its Cashier.
John Chetwood Jr., by his attorney A.
w. Thompson, has filed with the Supreme
Court his brief upon appeal or the case of
John Chetwood Jr. versus The California
National Bank of San Francisco, Richard
P. Thomas ct al.
In the lower court Chetwood received
judgment in his suit against the bank
president. Thomas appealed to the Su-
preme Court, represented by Attorney ].
A. Stephens.
In the brief just filed the respondent
thus summarizes his claim: This case
presents the spectacle of a national bank
wrecked by its cashier, who exercised con-
tinuous, sole, entire control of IT'S business,
notwithstanding exceptionally strong by
laws which vested that control in It's presi-
dent, Richard P. Thomas, appellant here
in, who now seeks through reversal of the
Judgment to avoid responsibility for losses
which resulted to the oank from his neg
hgence in permitting the cashier to usufp
that control and run the bank to destruc-
tion."

Profassnr aantrxta Animals.

The pony and dog show at Seventh and Mis-
sion streets was well patronized last evening,
and those who attended wsse treated to a
most interesting entertainment, during which
the intelligence of animals was made manifest
in degree heretofore unknown in San Fran
cisco. The show opened with military march
by six ponies. These animals proved the good
result of careful and patient training. Then
the trick dogs went through their perform
ences with marvellous precision, and the clown
dog not only set the children to laughing until
the tears rolled down their cheeks, but excited
the risibilities of the adults. The hounds gave
proof of their ability to jump and leap, one of
fourteen feet in height. Another jumped from
table to mattress twenty-five feet distant.
Another remarkable performance was by q
black poodle that turned six backward somer-
saults. This is said to be the most difficult
trick for dog and the most difficult TO teach.
The show as whole is very entertaining.
The show will continue for two weeks, per-
formances being given nightly and matinees
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

DIR. Z. b. Morgan Lectures for st. Luke s
Medical Mission.
The first of series of illustrated medi-
cal lectures in behalf of st. Luke's Medical
Mission was delivered last evening in
Young Mems Christian Association Hall
by DR.. T. Brett Morgan. The mission was
organized by Christian people. The pur-
pose is to offer to the sick poor of this City
medical service without charge. and make
this work the medium of personal evan
gelization.
DR.. Morgan's theme last evening was
"Nerve Force and How to Conserve tn
He spoke at length upon the many wrecks
of humanity who are drifting into early
graves simply because they have oyertaxed
their nervous systems by work and Gissi-
patton. He said that with the business
man in this age there is a rush and hurry
in everything he does, and he does not
give his nerves an opportunity to rest and
recuperate.
When the reaction takes place the man
loses his mind, or his physical system
breaks down or sudden death ensues.
Those who live for pleasure alone, and
there are thousands of this class, the lee
turer said, meet similar fate. In con-
clusion, DR.. Morgan implored his hearers
to take more time for rest from work, and
not to wreck their nervous systems by
dissipations of any kind.

The Grand 0pera-H House.

"Bertha, the Sewing Girl" which
was produced at the Grand last night, is a
transcript of life in New York, where girls work
for mere pittance and even have that docked
every week. The play is effective from melo-
dramatic standpoint. though there are certain
scenes in 1t which the most vivid imagina-

Julia Blanc is the sewing-machine girl, who
is wrongfully accused of stealing $50 and is
night by Frank Hatch. The jury pronounces
her guilty, whereupon Jack Ryder, an utterly
impossible character, knocks down the police
men, scatters the jurymen and attacks the
judge, which functionary, in rich brogue,
hears the witness, addresses the jury, and
promises the half-drunken Jack to join him in
ten minutes outside.

Important Secret Meeting Held by

Thirty prominent members of the Con-

night at the call of President Louis Brown.
The proceedings were fore shadowed in
an article which appeared in Sunday
mornings CALL. 1t is understood that
preliminary steps toward the erection of
new synagogue in the Western Addition
were taken. The meeting was however,
an entirely secret one, the summons to
the members reading: 'To discuss import
ant matt ers relative to the welfare of the
congregation"
Upon being questioned members of tn
committee refused to divulge what passed,
one gentleman saying that the members
had been bound to secrecy and it was
determined that no word of their action
should escape. 1t is thought that frequent
meetings viii be held in the future and
that after this series of meetings are
finished the matter of the new synagogue
will be placed to vote at a grand general
