The Alhambra wants a new manager.
The corporation which controls the des-
tiny of the new vaudeville house has had
a row with its director, General de Kan
net, and that gentleman, with a mastery
forethought, has handed in his resgna-
ton.
There was no dissenting vote, and the
retirement Of the manager was agreed
upon. A difference of opinion as to how
a vaudeville house should be run was the
cause of the difficulty. While De Kan
nets management did not meet with the
approval of the board, still, all unite in
agreeing that the director was doing his
best, although his best did not reach the
high standard aimed at by the corpora
ton.
De Kannet's bookings, while they
showed variety, lacked what the new
house had promisd-novelties-a to this
the directors took objection. The matter
was placed before the board at the Thurs
day meeting, and De Kannet appeared in
his own defense. Business discussion led
to an exchange of words and the result
was that Dr. de Kannet asked that his
Many applications have been received
by the corporation for the vacant man
agership, and the candidates for the posi-
ton include some Of the best-known
names in the world of variety manage
but it has been decided that the place
is to go. to an Eastern man.
The election for the new manager will
take place at the coming meeting of the
board of directors on Monday next, and
the new man will Immediately enter upon
his duties.
Notwithstanding reports to the con-
trary, the Alhambra will continue as it
so successfully began in the field of vau-
devflle. The directors have no intention
of making it an opposition house, but
hope, to gain public Patronage, and favor
high-class novelty of their attractions.
DR.. de Kannet will probably return
East, where he has been closely identified
with vaudeville management in Boston,
Chicago and New York.

AQUATIC CARNIVAL
ON RUSSIAN RIVER
Championship Rowing Regatta Will
Be Held at Long Bridge in
October

The following representatives OF the
rowing clubs were present at meeting
of the regatta committee of the Pacific
Association of the Amateur Athletic I'm
ion held last night: A. H. Rothkopf of
the Dolphins, in the chair; W. c. Espy
and c. Ochs of the Pioneers, S. J. Penn
broke of the Alamedas, J. D. Mahoney Of
the South Ends and j. r. Bockman of
the ArielS.
The regatta committee not having been
able to secure acceptable terms from the
management of FL Campo it was decided
to hold the championship regatta at Long
Bridge on October 16 or g.
There is a strong probability that a
water carnival will be held at Guerne-
Vile on the Russian River on some Satur-
day and Sunday early in November. J..
r. Bockman of the Ariels was appointed
a committee of one to discuss the ar
rangements for the carnival with the rail-
road officials and to ascertain how the
boats to be used by the oarsmen and
scullers can be transported. 1t is pro-
posed to erect two toboggan slides side
by side, up an incline of about fifty feet,
upon which small cars may run, and to
two men on each car. There will be
swimming contests, diving and other
aquatic sports, as well as races between
single scullers and four-oared barge
crews. 1t is expected that the carnival
will attract large number of visitors,
and viii become an annual event. The
course is a clear mile in length, and
high bank gives spectators an opportun-
ity of watching the races from start to
finish. A grandstand will be erected for
the accommodation of visitors.

AS CAMILLE

Each performance seems to increase
the popularity of the Modjeska season
at the Baldwin. Last night she played
Camille" the old, old play, to the I'M
bounded delight of a large audience.
1t is only a Modjeska or a Bernhard
or Duse who can make this piece live
to-day We have seen it given so often
at the hands of little and big actresses
that it is dangerously familiar. Many
Of the lines have become slang, catch
phrases of more or less derision. To
many of US the clarifying of a con-
sumptive courtesan has always seemed
a vain task. And yet there is a human
note, one pathetic and profound, and
human moral i'll this old masterpiece
that are always ready for the touch Of
a really great and sincere artist.
ModJeska makes no attempt to gloss
over the seamy side of Candles char
acter. She presents her as she was, a
woman of pleasure, brilliant desperate,
and yet at eternal outs with herself
and her life. When the grand passion
finally comes to her she is ready to
sacrifice everything for his sake-her
own remnant of honor, which may not
matter much, and even his happiness,
which is everything. She makes the
sacrifice knowingly. She takes a sad
pleasure in feeling herself capable<sQf
the heroinism. OF course it is all very
silly and very romantic, but how hui
man.
AS Modjeska plays her the woman Is
not maudlin; she is genuinely pathetic,
and the old worldly regret comes up
again, Poor thing; what a pity she
went wrong
In only one phase of Camille" does
Modjeska sacrifice realism to prettiness
and poetry, and that is in the death
scene-so easily burlesqued into an
