GOODWIN FIGURES IN

Nat Goodwin took trip in an automo-

the return trip yesterday the machine
broke down The mishap came near

Travelled about eleven miles the machin-

unable to get it in action again. There
was nothing to do but to walk and this

PLACER To HAVE
Bic VINEYARDS

With the establishment of the Placer
County Winery Company at Roseville
big stride in development of California
has been taken and a new field will be
opened which will do much to increase
the States recognition among the viti-A
culturists of the world. Acting under the
advice of the Government experts, who
have made a study of the soil conc--ions,
this land on the southwestern slope of
the lower Sierras was chosen and pro-
nounced better for wine grapes than even
the famed land along the Rhine.
The buildings and press erected for the
winery cost 100000 and are capable of an
output of 100000 gallons year. The
plant is equipped with capacity of
handling 5000 tons of grapes annually and
converting them into wine. Huge cellars
will be built for the storing and aging of
the product.
At present the number of vines grown
in the vicinity of Roseville is small, but
the tests of the Government experts show
that the climatic conditions are so IA
vorable that the vines will bear early and
that the grapes will ripen evenly. The
land is high and composed of decom-
posed granite soil requiring no irrigation.
The analysis of the grapes shows them
to abound in sugar, the quantity of sac
charine matter frequently running as
high as 80 per cent.
The company, with offices in San Fran
cisco. has secured fifteen-year contracts
with a large number of land owners to
furnish grapes for the project. The price
to be paid will be a special inducement
for the growers to plant, for the crops
are known to be substantial. The COM
pany estimates the increase in acreage
will be 2Oo0 acres a year and as the in
crease comes they will enlarge their plant
to keep pace with the production
Several years ago the United States
Government Wine Commission made an
examination Of the different producing
sections and reported the area along the
Serras as a favored spot for grape cul-
ture The reports show that the grapes
grown in the Sierra district will make 16O
gallons of Burgundy to the ton

GRAPE-NUTS.
A WORKING BRAIN
Can BE Made Successful on Right Food

A busy man in one of Americas largest
watch factories tells how by change OF
food he gained a clear brain and steady
nerves and averted a mental and physical
breakdown. He says:
II was accustomed all my life 10

thought that meat, potatoes and other
vegetables and fruit were necessary, and
that tea coffee and pastry In moderate
quantities were not injurious
"out I found. in course of time, that
my dietary was affecting my health seri-
ously. For four years 1 continued to run
down. In time my nerves became seri-
ouslv affected, they seemed constantly
keyed UP to the highest tension. and
became subject TO the most violent bilious
attacks, which used 10 leave me in weak
and nervous condition for several days
The climax seemed TO have been reached
a few years ago, when I found myself
about as near a physical wreck as man
could well be and live. physicians, ton
les and other medicines, visits TO the
country, etc, etc, were Of no avail.

few months ago, TO see what effect diet

ARCADE SCHEME
SEEMS SUCCESS

Business men and property owners in
terested In the Improvement and beau
tifieation of Union Square avenue held a
meeting In the conservatory room of the
Palace Hotel last night. Julius Raphael
presided
Mr.. Raphael said the proposition to
make an arcade of the two blocks was
meeting with great favor. 1t was almost
certain that all the owners and lease
holders In the first block would sign
agreements, but there was a minority op-
position in the second block, that be-
tween Grant avenue and Stockton street,
that might make the carrying out of the
scheme there impossible A majority OF
all the leaseholders and property owners
was favorable, he said.
James d. Phelan, speaking for the As
ISOLATION for the Adornment of San
Francisco. said the arcade on the ave-
nue. would add much to the beauty of the
retail district. He spoke of the attrac-
tiveness OF arcades in Old World cities
Newton ]. Tharp, the architect, submit
ted the estimate of cost as $35. 900
for the one block for the arcade
of glass, supported by ornamental
iron pillars and for sewerage. President
Raphael said it had been thought the
work would cost much more. The assess
ment under this total would be s10e
front foot
erty owners of fitting up their frontages
on the avenue would be from $50 to $500
front foot. President Raphael said it
had cost his firm s175 a foot, the work
being done in first-class style.
l. Friedman, representing the furniture
store Of M. Friedman & Co., on Post
street, said his people would object to the
Improvement. as they needed the avenue
for draying purposes. They were in
favor of beautifying the city but did not
feel justified in impairing their business
10 aid the project in hand.
Mrs. H H Fassett suggested the plant
ing Of flowers along the sides of the ave-
nue..
James d. Phelan, Jacob Stern, Alfred
Esberg, Ed s. Rothschild and Fred Mey-
erstein were appointed a temporary COM
mittee to start the work of obtaining
written agreements for the Identification
of the first block and with power to ap-
point a permanent committee to work on
the entire scheme.

Opera Is Tuneful
and AbOundS
in Fun.
Good Chorus Adds
to Delight of
Audience.

Those who have not been Tivoli-
ward lately will do well to wander up
there this week, to take in The Black
Hussar" revived with signal success
last night The revival of the opera
saw also the temperance of Barron
Berthald, who comes from grand-opera
regions to adorn the tenor role through
the Tivoli comic-opera season. Both
were welcomed in right Tivol fashion,
but an audience much too small did the
work That can be only matter of a
night or two, however. for every audi
tor will be an advertiser.
One can easily understand the present
vogue in Germany and otherwheres
European of The Black Hussar' The
opera is tuneful and musically attract
i've throughout There is story with a
sparkling martial flavor that never
gets lost. There are effective charac-
ters, handsome pictures and plenty of
fun and frolic. In the Tivoli edition
the opera might have been made yes
terday Probably if it had, though, it's
soIdiery would have been not French.
but japanese that conquered its Rus
SLAMS. But the opera is throughout
smart and up-to date, while having the
best characteristics of the older school.
1t loses nothing in the Tivoli produce
ton. Beginning with Mr.. Berthald and
ending with a chorus that reastonisheS
every time 1T is heard, the people are
almost throughout excellent. The set
tings and costumes are unusually elab-
crate, and there was last night first
performance that positively shone.
Mr.. Berthald has the role of the
Black Hussar, and, though, perhaps not
excessively. martial, the singer fills in
the part picturesquely enough. 1t is
remarkable how Mr.. Berthald keeps the
smoothness of his voice so absolutely
intact from year TO year; at least 1T
would be remarkable if he did not SO
well know how to use it. Sweet strong
and smooth as ever it is. and if the
singer would only condescend to sing
less as Frank Worthing sometimes
talks, you would ask no more. But it
is really seldom that one can under
stand him. He seems, too, to have left
his English here last year, for he has
rather forgotten how to use it. day
or two will, of course, make that
straight, and meantime, If you could,
Mr.. Berthald, throw word or two to
us in the songs, and make the best
comic-opera tenor that we know-ex-
cept Dippel--a little better?
Schuster has part that fits him as
never was in that of Hackenbach, the
turncoat magistrate. He surprises
afresh with that great, round. warm
basso of his, 1t seems better every
time one hears it, and last night he
acted as well as he sang. Berthald,
Teddy Webb and Schuster have trio
that alone is worth going to hear. and
each has good songs, though the con-
certed music is much more interesting.
Teddy Webb is useful, as always; Mel
vim Stokes is good as a French officer,
and Charles A. Morgan, in speciality
as a heavy tragedian that belongs
more to the Orpheum, convulsed the
Tivoli last night.
Miss Palotta and Miss Hemmi helped
the picture and the music along, and
Aimee Leicester excelled herself as a
serving maid. The Black Hussar''
should be heard, and seen.

Columbia.

Nat Goodwin presented his old time
success, AN American Citizen" at the
Columbia last night The piece con-
tains more genuine laughs to the line
than many of the newer plays, and
Goodwin, with wisdom born of expe-
rience in the comedians art, makes the
most of them. Goodwin is simply ire
sistible in the part of Beresford Cruger.
who renounces his American citizenship
to save the woman he loves from pow
erty, and in the tender passages he
shows the finished actor. His scene
with his confidential clerk, Mercury"
capitally acted by youth named She'd
dy, is worth going miles to see. Too
much cannot be said in praise of Miss
Ruth Mackay, a leading lady, who pos
sesses a charm of manner, beauty of
person and acting ability far above the
ordinary, a triple combination exceed
ingly rare in these days. Miss Flora
Parker makes a most pleasing impress
sion in the part of Georgia Chaplin, and
splendid support is given Goodwin by
Fred Tyler, Felix Edwardes, Ellie Nor
wood. Neil O'Brien, Ina Goldsmith and
Ethel Beale.

AIcazar.

"Harriet's Honeymoon, the attraction
for this week at the Alcazar, took hold
at once on the favor of the audience be-
cause Of the thoroughness which charac-
terized its presentation, not only in the
matter of acting, but also in the indis-
pensable matter of scenery and stage
management. Besides. the comedy It
self is an excellent bit of playcraft in
which the action is kept going without
one halt or stumble. without one dull
moment from the beginning to the end.
Although a comedy. there are serious
phases, for the heroine at least, just suf-
ficient to cast a shadow to relieve the
light atmosphere.
The result of the opening night was a
decided triumph for Lillian Lawrence, she
being the pivotal figure Of the play. Mr..
Craig, the easy-going husband. divided
the honors of walking gentleman's role
with Howard Scott, who reappeared much
improved after his rece6t ab3ence. Eliza-
beth Woodson. the Della May Of the New
York Trumpet. and Mary Young as
Thusnelda were very clever The rest
OF the fun was supplied by John B. Ma
her. who satirized the 81 Francisco de-
tective force in very sly and pleasant
way. ~
