STRONG ORPHEUM BILL

Mile. Held sang her little songs last night, danced and capered, smiled and kissed. fiirted her wee skirt. swooned and revived her large humid eyes, wriggled and joked her pectoral em- bonpoint with amazing facility and made a gratuitous little speech, in which she linked in her love the dears Paree and San Francisco and hoped to be with us a long, long time. But the town-and quite a good deal of 1t was there-did not singe and flame. It was amiable enough, and, to slight ex- tent, helped out the illusion of each new song being an encore. But it did not smoke and melt and sizzle. Mile. Held's visit need not increase the in surance rates on the Baldwin Theater.
 The accomplishments of Mile. Held are almost entirely physical. She has the little roly-poly figure in It's roundest perfection and her face Is brightly beauti- full after the conventional French mode, and would be perfect of its type, too, but for a too emphatic nose. And of course she is chic-that Is part of her conven- tionality and nationality, for this Polish blood of this Paris-bred vaudeville singer makes no outward manifestations. But her art Is mediocre. By this I make no reference to her voice, which is neither more nor less than the jolly chirp you would expect; but her manner of doing the songs is too obviOus-you feel all the while the one effect she is striving for, and which is palpably to make herself physically, lasciviously pleasing. Naturally she sings French
The San Francisco call., 1898-03-29

songs with cleverer insinuation than the them, and her Play wiz me" is quite an experience for even a hardened music hall fancier But Mile. Held does noth- ing so cleverly that you can forget that her talents are all centered below the brow.
 "A Gay Deceiver," the farce by Paul Wilstach and Joseph Grismer, which in- troduces Anna Held at the close of its third act, Is one calculated to prepare you for the limit of riskiness. In a way 1t is quite the limit itself and so literal that misinterpretation would be impossible. First I would rather say that it is clever, the construction quite good to sustain the suspense in so slim a fabric and some of the lines adroitly witty for all their cheap slang. But the whole scheme is rankly vulgar; 1t reeks of the tenderloin. The story deals in Boston man with H. licit love affairs and his wife, with the same. He leaves home, returns suddenly and pretends he Is his own twin brother, while a senile gentleman of sinful ambi- ton openly fondles the wife. The acting of the farce is heavy and characterless, with the one exception of M. A. Ken nedy, who is scandalously real as the aged rake.
 MT. FernaId's 'The Cat and the Cher ub," which finished the evening at a late hour, seems superfuous to me, after sec ing Powers First Born.'' It has a cer- tain literary quality that Powers China town piece lacked in places, but 1t Is prac- tically the same play without as intense an atmosphere and with more of theusual melodrama in the working out of the plot.

foolish enough to get into. True, French adventures with a husband in a lunatic asylum who links her fortune with raS- cally fellow countryman in his endeavor to defraud the hero out of the fruits of his inventive genius, coupled with few incidental crimes and hints of dark pasts together with the quick transition from scene of quiet domesticity on Long Island to murder in Parisian cellar, might somewhat complicate matters and con- fuse the casual spectator, but still the verdict on the whole would have been that the play was full of life and action, that the situations were well arranged the climaxeS, of which there were about a dozen, well worked up, and that James J. Corbett was more than fairly good ac- tor, notwithstanding the fun that has been poked at him during his career on the stage
 This is what an Eastern audience would have said-not what the audience that packed the Columbia to the doors last night did say. They were there not to see the play but to welcome Jim to his home, and when he came on the stage orchestra and dress circle clapped until it's palms tingled, while the galleries rose up and fairly howled. It was fully ten minutes before quiet enough was restored to allow Corbett to go ahead with his cold with which he is suffering, he ren- dered remarkably well, fully earning the comment of the Hayes Valley contin- gent, who were unanimous in declaring that Jim done fine"
 Corbett Is supported by a fairly good company, among whom is Lillian Lam son, San Francisco girl, who, in the character of Hortense Reynolds, a French adventures, does some clever work, which, however, she could improve by a

that the passage of the resolution would in no way affect the right to tax the privilege, which could be done if the city saw fit to do so. He referred to the former attempt to stop the Mu- tual Company from erecting poles in the city, and the city's defeat in the Su- preme Court, and asked If the Supervi- sors cared to undertake any more such litigation.
 By this time Britt and Smith had matters well in hand and the resolu- tion was referred to the joint commit tee. with instructions to report at the next meeting.
 Dodge and Lackmann were the only ones to oppose it, while askins, Dela- ny, Sheehan. Morton, Britt Smith and Rivers voted in the affirmative.
 In view of that part of the resolu- tion instructing the Street Lights Con- mittee to invite proposals in such lan- guage that no company shall be ex- cluded from biddiro 1t is an interest ing fact that MT. Rivers. the chairman of that committee, has in his possession now a proposal approved by the com mittee. which does just what it is in- tened shall not be done; namely, the cutting off of all but the San Francisco company from bidding. owing to the terms imposed. If that proposal takes the same course 1t has in the past, it will be held back until about ten days before the expiration of the present contract and then rushed through, thus effectually choking all opposition.

Marion Crawford on the Pope.

 Marion Crawfords style of oratory is very much on a par with his literary style There Is the same fluent. easy de- livery, the same absolute perfection of manner It Is clean cut. polished work. vet somehow he never rises to the higher flights of eloquence; he never wakes his audience to an outburst of enthusiasm He is a good talker. in short. rather than a great speaker. and that Is really all one can demand of a popular lecturer of the day.
 Naturally the large audience which filled the California Theater last night was extremely sympathetic. The lecturer is himself an ardent Roman Catholic, the lecture dealt with Pope Leo XIII, and his life in the Vatican, and was given un. der the auspices of the Y. M. I. Mayor Phelan, in a speech of somewhat unnec- essary length, undertook the introductory part of the business. as if Crawford re- uuires any introduction to an audience of cultured, novel reading Californians.

Of the five out of the six new Ornbeuu turns seen by the writer at the oneninp performance four are signal successes and the other one not at all bad in its kind. It is of rather poor kind. how ever, this Dramatic Agent" sketch pre- sented by Harry Watson and Alica Hutchings, with the trampy assistance of Ed Edwards, and culminates in the worm-eaten business of attempting to carve a rubber fowl. But the other four are unique and clever. and they put the show on something like it's old level of excellence. Montgomery and Stone do coon songs. buck and wing dances and flash nigger repartee in way that beats the record here for a white team in a colored act. The Five Arabian WhirI- winds are remarkable tumblers. Their turn is quick, short and exciting. An odd feature Is that the heavy Arabian who does the feats of strength is also inc lithest and most expert of the tunblers. The Glisandos clown very musicaIIy and very entertainingly.
 On the whole, the Orpheum bill this week would seem especially calculated to please persons who nave not been pleased by most of the bills of the last several months.

The ending, where the victim is strangled with his own queue and propped up in a sitting posture as to deceive the pass ing policeman, could be made even more dramatic than that of '"The First Born" but 1t is marred by the delay in reaching f Half the audience saw it over their shoulders as they left the theater.

commanded the attention of his audience from the first. He began with a short historical introduction, explaining the po- litical causes which led to the downfall of the temporal power of the papacy, and contrasting very strongly the gentle fee beneSs of Plus KS administration with that of his successor, Leo XIII. Under Plus the political power of the Vatican sank to zero, but under the vigorous rule tions.
 Marion Crawford regards the Pope as among the greatest statesmen of the century, and in one of the most forcible passages of his lecture compared him with Lincoln and Gladstone, bracketing the three great statesmen together. All three, he pointed out, were men who pos sessed remarkable physical qualifications in their youth. All three could be elo- quent on occasion, and all three had certain element of melancholy sadness in their composition.
 Leo is now nearly 90 years of age, yet Crawford drew a wonderful picture of fluity of detail he told of the hours the Pope keeps, of the scanty meals he eats; all the little peculiarities of his character were set orth with photographic accur- acy. The Pope has great conversational power. Rarely does a distinguished per sonage pass through Rome without being summoned to an audience. Il. his dicta- torial way, Leo will sometimes tax for couple of hours, and the visitor feels through it all that he is listening to a man of real power, who unites the
 
 of head, heart and hand. The Pope, as MT. Crawford sums him up, is evenly bal anced as a statesman, scholar and man. No such parsonage has appeared at the head of the church for centuries. He has turned the feeling of the nations of Europe from hostility to friendliness. He has achieveu greater results than Mazzini and Garibaldi, Bismarck or Napoleon III. e., despite all this ex- treme praise, MT. Crawford had to admit that Leo is practically prisoner in his own Vatican. Political reasons are often given for his voluntary seclusion; but the real cause is the disturbed condition of Rome. A volcano of anarchcal senti- ment rages beneath the surface, and the Pope's life. should he venture beyond his own grounds, would not be safe for a day. Some fanatical revolutionist, af- fiicted with the 'sour indigestion of free thought" would cut his career short and. therefore. the rulers of modern Italy, who have the highest respect for Leos char acter and ability, are glad to have him remain at home. The lecture tonight will describe the Original MT. Isaacs' Early Newspaper Experience in India"
