Gus office apartments for physicians
exclusively. Indeed, it promises to
be the central home of the medical
profession. No definite bookings
have yet been made, but Mr. Gottlob
says the opening attraction will be
worthy of the occasion.
In the meantime the Macdonough
Theater, Oakland, will harbor what
ever big dramatic attractions may
visit the coast this season Among
those already assured are Maxine
Elliott, Olga Nethersole and Louis
James and the list will undoubtedly
swell as the season progresses. Any
play or star that was sufficiently mag
netic to draw Oakland to San Fran
cisco can be relied upon to attract San
Francisco to Oakland, and the COM
bination managers will not overlook
that fact, especially if they find their
Eastern business below expectation.
Two prosperous weeks in San Fran
cisco have balanced the ledger of
many "show" that was more or less
TO the bad financially when it arrived
here, and one prosperous week in
Oakland may be depended upon to
nerform similar service.

Music Temple Proposed.

My energetic little friend, Alfred
Metzger, is bravely utilizing his
monthly Musical Review to promote
the organization of CALIFORNIA; music
teachers and the erection of a $500, 1000
temple of music in San Francisco.
Both projects are worthy, and to push
either of them to consummation
would be a stupendous achievement,
even if the city's music life were more
firmly settled than it is. Mr.. Metzger,
however, opines that no time more
favorable than the present could be
selected for bringing the tutors to-
gether and providing them with a
gathering place that would dignity
the new San Francisco, and he is con-
fdent that neither the work of form
ing the association nor the task of
raising the half-million dollars is i'm
practicable.
His suggestion that the presidency
of the proposed society be conferred
on DR.. J. Fred Wolfe, head of the
music department of the University of
California, is indisputably wise. No
man is better qualified, either artis-
tically or by position, than DR.. Wolfe
to harmonic the teachers of har-
mony. He is the leading music figure
in the West and he does not give pri-
vate music lessons.

Play Must Fit Principal.

Nowadays it's different Not only
must the Robertses and the Cranes be
accurately measured, but the taste of
the manager must also be catered to
by the playwright who hopes for ac-
ceptance Of his work The manager
insists that the theme must be of cur
rent interest and the actor demands
a character that harmonizes with his
most telling art of personation. Thus
the author who aims at having his
play produced at another's pc
cuniary expense is degraded-or de-
grades himself-to the level of
tradesman. His hope of enriching
dramatic literature or perpetuating
his name must be relinquished To
make his work marketable his literary
discernment must be sacrificed.
That, in my opinion, is the prin-
cipal reason why so many bad Amer
lean plays are staged, and why every
now and then we hear of an Amer
lean play scoring great success after
il has repeatedly been refused pro-
duction. For this condition the dram
atists themselves are not entirely
blameless. Indeed, the remedy lies
with them. If they would either
abandon playwriting as means of
earning livelihood or unite in de-
voting their efforts to constructing
stage literature instead of made-to-
order plays, the managers would
eventually be compelled to accept
their wares But it would be rough
on the one-part actors who stalk as
Stars"

By James Crawford.

gF there are any destitute stagefolk
on the Pacific Coast their condi-
4 ton cannot justly be ascribed to
the San Francisco disaster. This fact
is announced with aim to protect
from imposture those members Of the
profession who attach credence to
ali that is editorially enunciated by
journals devoted solely to their en-
lightenment and instruction In the
current issue Of the Billboard, a most
influential periodical, find this:
There are still hundreds Of profes-
sional people in the vicinity of San
Francisco who are toiling for their
daily bread and striving to save
enough from their meager earnings
10 replace the costumes or apparatus
or whatever they lost in the catas-
trophe that prevents them from go
ing on to fill further engagements" 3"
No verihcation OF that dismal
statement can be found by means Of
inquiry in this city. I have asked
many stage people if they personally
: knew OF any member of their profes-
sion deserving OF benevolent atten-
ton and without exception the reply
was in the negative Indeed, l was
assured that no other sufferers by
the local calamity were more speed
lily or thoroughly rehabilitated than
the public entertainers. They shared
IN the immediate indiscriminate re-
lief, / was told, and their less urgent
necessities were eased as fast as
money could be dispatched from the
East for their exclusive benefit
George Osborne distributed cash
among those fairly entitled to it, and
when Miss Phoebe Davis arrived here
with $1,000 donated by the Actors
League she was unable to find enough
bona fde cases OF need TO dispossess
her OF all the money, so she was
obliged TO take considerable por-
J.. ton Of it back to New York. And in
stances of unrecorded relief were
many. In brief, am convinced that

is that at the Moulin Rouge she does
pretty much the same kind of work
she did at Fischer's ere that house en-
tered its "ten-and-twent" career.
Of course, Paris engagement
means something to be envied by
American soubrettedom, but a Paris
music hall is not one whit loftier in
tone than was Fischer's during the
period alluded TO, nor is French
revue" a bit more digni6ed in quail
ity than the Weber-Field stuff they
are doing at the Davis, which resem-
bles it in most components. Neither
the one nor the other is marked by
coherency of plot and both rely main
ly upon the attractiveness of things
that are absolutely irrelevant to what
ever attempt plot there is. When
she was on O'Farrell street Miss Aug
did not appeal to the higher artistic
instincts and there is no reason to be-
lieve that her flights in Paris are any
1oftier
McAllister street apparently con-
founds the Moulin Rouge with the
Comedie Francaise, where the lead
ing members must be artists and
even those who take minor parts must
show talent of high degree
Of such is the elevation of Edna

Boise City, Idaho, that his San Fran
cisco Opera Company. largely COM
posed of people who were with him
in the Eddy-street house, have made
such a hit in Seattle that Russell &
Drew have decided to build a per-
manent home for them there. After
playing for eight successful weeks in
Seattle tho San Franciscans went to
Boise, where they are completing
four weeks run, at the conclusion of
which they will take the road and
stick to it until the building that is to
house them in Seattle is erected.
In the meantime no palpable effort
is being made to revive Our own per-
manent home of opera. w. H. Leahy
apparently is so busily engaged in
putting up buildings for other peo-
pie and in performing the functions
pertaining to his Police Commits
sionership that he has no time to de-
vote to theater construction, nor does
Mrs Ernestine Kreling exhibit any
symptoms of inclination to re-enter
the business which she adorned for so
many years.
To permit the Tivoli prestige and
title to die would SAVIOR of disloyalty
to the city, for throughout the world
of music the Tivoli made San Fran
cisco famous as the only American
town that for more than twenty years
had opera every evening and at least
one afternoon of each week But as
the Tivoli corporation is not likely to
lose any of its valuable assets through
carelessness, it would be quite sane to
wager that San Francisco will have a
new Tivoli producing opera before

Florence Roberts Plans.

Florence Roberts plaintively an
nounces that she has sacrifice! much
OF her summer vacation to studious
perusal of new plays by unnamed
American authors, and, alas not one
of them did she find worthy of pro-
duction In the current Theater
Magazine like disappointment is ex-
pressed by William H. Crane, who
patriotically complains that although
he desires to appear in an American
character next season, he shall have
to strut as an Englishmap, simply
because he cannot get a suitable play
in his own country
All of which may tend to cast ex-
planatory light on the paucity Of
really good new plays by American
authors.
Some of the manuscripts read by
Miss Roberts or Mr.. Crane may have
possessed genuine merit as plays, but
were rejected as bad plays because
they did not happen to afford their
reader sufficient opportunity for dis
play OF his or her most effective act
ing methods. 1t is significant that no
long-lived play was written to fit any
particular actor as the tailor cuts cloth
to accentuate curves and diminish
angles. Shakespeare had no star" in
view when he wrote his immortal
works, nor did any of the eighteenth
century dramatists whose plays are
still acted They depicted for stage
use certain phases of life or character
and left to the manager the task of
finding actors qualified to properly fill
the roles

One of the secrets of "Fiddle-Dee-

is the impression made by the lead

thoroughly en- rapport with the spirit

late of a musical coincidence, ad-
