AT the Baldwin.

Charles Frohman's Empire Theater
Company will begin its three weeks sea-
son at the Baldwin Theater tomorrow
night by showing San Franciscans how
cleverly it can interpret light comedy. It's
first week will be devoted to representa-
tlons of Clyde Fitch's Bohemia" which
is described as bright and enlivening
peep into the precincts of Paris Bohemian
days and nights. Indeed the play is passed
on Henri Murger's series of sketches of
artist life in the Quarter Latin in Paris,
and as it is to this source that Du Maui
rier's "Trilby" may be referred there is
nothing unfair in stating that some OF the
Eastern critics found Mr.. .Fitch's "Bohe-
mia pleasanter and better play than
"Trilby." Mr.. Fitch has taken some lib
critics with the original story and gives 1t
a more decidedly agreeable finishing than
Murger did. He has filed it with spark
: ling lines and up-to-dated the characters
so that they possess the flavor of Bohemia
anywhere. The entire first week at the
Baldwin will be given to Bohemia" The
second will bring the company forward in
dramatic work, Pinero's benefit of the
Doubt being set down for that week.
This play was successfully presented at
the Lyceum Theater in New York, and it
is by Daniel Frohman's permission that it
is presented here by the Empire stock COM
pany. The third and last week will find
Charles Frohman's players in that re-
markable drama, by Henry Arthur Jones,
''The Masqueraders," in which they ap-
peared for an entire season at the Empire
Theater. No matter what the circum-
stances attending either of these produc-
tions the schedule here set down will not
be changed, a full week being given to
each of the three plays in the company's
present repertory. Mr.. Frohman has in
creased the membership of his organiza-
ton, which now includes Miss Viola
Allen, Annie Irish, Ida Conquest, Mrs.
Thomas Whiffen. May Robson, Jane Har-
war, Ellen Gail, Katherine Mulkins, Lottie
Nichoil, William Faversham, ]. E. Dod-
son, Robert Edeson. Ferdinand Gotts-
chalk, E Y. Backus, w. II. Crompton, J. E.
Fnney, Charles Young, Walter Day and
George c. Pierce. 1t is one of the two
surviving stock companies now in Ameri-
ca and has gathered favor in the seven
years of its existence until now it is Sc
cureiy established in the popular heart.
"Bohemia" will serve for pleasant intro
duction of some of the new people in the
organization.

The Orpheum.

The particularly bright star at the
Orpheum is the great Biondi, who is we'll
entitled to the privilege of styling himself
1.-The only" His clever work as a char
acter change artist has made him the talk
of theater-goers. His 'pantomime acting
is so excellent that his comedy sketch is a
great hit, even though but few in the
audience understand a word that is said
That one should be able to make such
rapid changes from one character to an
other, often from male to female and vice
versa, is quite beyond belief, and to see
Biondi in his changes is treat He has
new work to introduce this week. OF the
new attractions sensation is promised in
Herr Techow, who comes from the Empire
Theater, London, with what Is said to be
the greatest troupe of trained cats in the
world. They take the place on the bill
made vacant by Macart's dog and monkey
circus.
A cat circus, on the stage at least, is
novelty, and it ought to be drawing
card, particularly as it is said that Herr
Techow's cats do some very clever things.
They obey him and perform the most diff
cult tricks, seemingly as though they en-
joyed standing on their heads, jumping
through hoops of fire, walking tight ropes,
boxing matches, etc. Lydia Yeamans-
Titus and F. J. Titus are billed to appear,
and neither of them need any introduc-
ton to San Francisco. Mrs. Titus will in
troduce new character songs and few
dances. With .Biondi Lydia Yeamans-
Titus, the Masons, Vadis sisters, Wash
burne sisters, Ross Snow and other favor
ties on the bill the packed houses at the
Orpheum should continue Matinees on
every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.

At the Chutes.

Always on the lookout for novelties the
Chutes management has secured "Joe," the
only orang-outang in America. and he is
on exhibition every afternoon and evening.
The animal is possessed of an intelligence
almost human, and the acts he does are
not the stereotyped tricks of the ordinary
trained monkey. He seems to eompre-
bend every word spoken to him by the
visitors, as we'll as his trainer and he has
an element of humor in his composition
that is always upDermost
The programmes given twice a day in
the casino are meeting with great favor
and the attendance is uniformly large.
As an additional attraction Miss Essie
Viola, the daring young aeronaut, will
make balloon ascension and parachute
drop at half-past o'clock this afternoon
from the Height-street grounds.

an unpaid Judgment for over 100000
against him: The Judgment was for
money loaned before the collapse of the
cordaee trust. 1t is said that this and the
murder scene is part of act 5 of "a
Social Trust" which will have its first
presentation at the Columbia Theater by
the Frawley Company on August 8.
Chauncey Olcott at the close OF every
season has numerous demands for his SER
vices in charitable concerts and entertain
ments. Where it is possible to appear he
never refuses, and at the close of his sea-
son just finished he sang at no less than
four concerts in one week and gave two
nerformances of Ralph Rackstraw in
'Pinafore' at Buffalo for charity per-
formance.
Della Fox has received the manuscript
of a new opera, and will prepare at once
for its production, which with "The Little
Trooper and "Fleur de Lis will const1-
tute her repertoire when she appears at
the Baldwin this season.
The San Francisco call., 1896-07-26

approval is by the length and volume
of their applause. This, however, is
a mistake. That deep silence which
results from rapt interest is the greatest
compliment that can be paid to an artist S
ability. There is no fear that the quiet
resulting from the audience being deeply
moved will be mistaken by the actor for
the cold silence of indifference. He has
the audience always in full view, and the
veriest novice can readily discern whether
his audience is en- rapport with him or
distrait.
"Why people will persist in making
ready to leave the theater before the cur
tain is rung down is a mystery. The most
interesting climax and tableau of the
whole play is thereby spoiled, and all they
gain is perhaps half minute in reaching
their carriage or car. This last is the most
inexcusable yet the most prevalent of all
these exhibitions.
When George Rignold played in this
City some years ago he publicly expressed
his views against this unmannerly habit.
On one occasion he became so enraged
that he abruptly abandoned his part, adj
vanced to the center of the stage and
shouted to the stage-manager, Ring down
the curtain till these people catch their
bus; then we will proceed with the play.
This was done. The offenders became
abashed, settled quietly back in their seats
and the play was concluded without fur
ther marring effect.
"If people will insist on showing their
appreciation by applause they should
withhold it till the curtain falls at the end
of the act. or, better still, till the final
drop of the curtain"

Columbia Theater.

The past week has been notable one at
the Columbia Theater. On several occa-
sions the orchestra was put out of sight
to make room for the crowds. For the
week commencing with tomorrow even
ing the Frawley Company will present
another New York Lyceum Theater sue
cess, John Madison Morton's excellent
comedy, ''The Highest Bidder" which
had run of over eight months in that
city. Mr.. Morton has undoubtedly writ
ten more successful English farces than
any playwright of his time, and "The
Highest Bidder" is his very best work
The story of the play is an unusually in
teresting one. Lawrence Thornhill, the
father of the heroine, Rose. has become
financially EN- mbarra ssed, and in order that
his daughter may not be without the
dowry he has intended giving her he de-
termines TO sell the family estates, the
Larches. With this object he invites Jack
| Hamm erton, London auctioneer, to the
Larches.- Jack falls in love with Rose the
instant he meets her and at the same time
! discovers her likely to become the
affianced bride OF Sir Evelyn Graine,
| whom he recognizes as a scoundrel and
rogue and with whose motives and meth
I ods he is already familiar.
In his desperation at such possibility
be makes too hasty attempt to warn
Rose and paint Sir Evelyn to her in his
true colors, and as a result loses her con-
fidence and the esteem of her friends. The
sale takes place; the "Larches" is bought
in by Hammerton himself, and again his
motives are misconstrued by Rose and her
friends, who do not know that Hammer
ton has taken the deed in Lawrence Thorn
hills name. In the closing act Jack at
last succeeds in unmasking Sir Evelyn
and also in convincing Rose that his love
for her has been the motive underlying all
his actions, and the feeling against the
tradesman having been overborne by the
admiration for the man Jack is accepted as
the husband of Rose and the future
master of the "Larches."
The role of Jack Hammerton will afford
Mr.. Worthing excellent scope for the dis
play of his talents. The character is itself
very pleasant and interesting throughout
and in the hands of Mr.. Worthing it will
be doubly SO. The Frawley com pany have
been making special preparations for this
production and the play is cast as follows:

characters are entrusted to such celebri
ties as Frederick Warde and Rose CoghIan
and the minor roles to the Stockwell play-
ers. As a Shakespearean actor Frederick
Warde has no equal to-day. He is the
most popular legitimate player on the
stage and has won mis- position by the ex-
cellence of his work at all times. His
productions have always been of the high
est standard, and his portrayals of such
roles as Marc Antony, King Lear, Iago,
Vrginius, Richard III, etc., have won for
him fame and fortune. He has as yet to
give San Francisco theater-goers their first
opportunity Of seeing his Shylock, and his
appearance in that role tomorrow night is
sure to prove an interesting event in our
theatrical annals. That he will prove
goes without saying. Rose Coghlan
can claim most rightly the honor
of being one of the very few capable
Shakespearean readers in this country.
Her appearances in the legitimate in this
City have been very few, but we have had
the pleasure OF seeing an exceptionally
hne Rosalind when she appeared in the
open-air performance of LAS You Like IT,
at Sutro Heights last year. She has also
given US a most beautiful Olivia in 1.-The
Twelfth Night, and her charming work in
that role bids fair to be outdone when she
makes her appearance as Portia in the
coming production of 1.-The Merchant of
Venice" The character calls for that
class of work in which Miss Coghlan
excels and she will impart to it dash and
charm that will be most taking. Prepara-
tions for beautiful staging of the play
have been going on for some time and the
production on Monday night will be given
with historically correct costumes and
scenery, prepared especially for the occa-
sion. The musical numbers to be played
during the progress of the piece are all
original and decidedly brilliant. There is
to be both vocal and instrumental music.
