HARTMAN RENDERED
ROUSING WELCOME
DroIl Comedian and His Merry
Company of Players Make
Hit at Princess

1t was a beautiful house warming
that Ferris Hartman presided over yes
terday afternoon at the Princess when
he came back with his company from
Seattle with The Yankee Consul"
Hartman, if The Yankee Consul"
is a reliable exhibits No. /, is like
wine and reputation-better with the
passing of the years In the Blossom
Robyn piece of yesterday, which was
seen for the first time in San Fran
cisco. Hartman exhibited a quiet, re-
poseful manner. and an easy reliance
on the wit of his lines that were differ
ent from noisy and insistent comedy
and were refreshing and effective.
The Yankee Consur' was formerly
Raymond Hitchcock's play in the east
and the medium of his starring success.
Hartman has taken the musical play
to his heart and has made it his in an
unusually interesting and unctuous de-
gree. The lines bubble and sparkle. the
situations are pretty and we'll con-
trived, and the music, by Alfred Robyn,
is far above the average in catchy eN-
cellence and skillful scoring.
The difference which a few hours
make is the motive of a topical song
which Hartman sang-shall l say sang
and be honest THAT brought forth all
the encores the comedian had, but 1t
wasn't as good as another many versed
song which Hartman delivered, called
The Olden Days" Here he hooked up
the performance at the Princess on the
peg of insistence and he never dropped
a laugh The show waited until he
made up a couple of extra verses to
prove that he had run out of prepared
material.
Hartman had to make a speech, too.
He lodged it on his entrance with diff
hculty. but he had to give up at the
end of the first act His little line
of talk was of his own make. eX-
funny. The lyrical and
ensemble moments of the comic opera
were hugely enjoyed Oscar Walsh,
who in the play is captain in the
United States navy sent to Santo Do
mingo. is the best light opera tenor
we have heard here for many months.
He sings with gusto and understand
ing. Three recalls followed his inter-
pretation of Cupid Has Found My
Heart
Walter de Leon and Miss "Muggins'
Davies made a big nit in their inter
polated number, Spanish Hot A1rlo.
The song and the dance were written
nv De Leon and the workmanship was
approved by four encores. Walter
Catlett in an eccentric role, is his
nfmble self, and Joe Fogarty made a
bombastic Spanish governor, sitting on
the lid Of revolution.
Miss Octavia Broske, as Bonlto' the
daughter of the rich Santo Domingo
widow. and Miss Josie Hart as the
widow herself were effective. Miss
Anna Little, in minor role, was pref
tv and vocally good, and the music and
action went with quick movement yes
terdav. Particularly pretty was the
MOSQUITO and the Midge" number, sung
nv Miss Davies and lively chorus.

INVENTOR CLAIMS NEW
DEATH DEALING DEVICE

BOSTON, Sept 6-Dana Dudley of Wakefield,
to whom is ascribed the invention of the dyna
mite gun and torpedo tube in use and a
disappearing gun, claims to have devised a tele-
scope by means of which it is possible to aim
guns and rifles around corners, the tops of
skyscrapers and mountains ranges and down into
the depths of the ocean. The inventor says the

the device for army and navy use.

RETAIL CIGAR DEALERS
TO STOP PRICE WAR

The Retail Cigar Dealers association
of San Francisco met last night to
take action looking to the prevention
of the price cutting both of cigars and
cigarettes, which President E. w.
Briggs declared was working havoc
with the trade. After thorough dis
cussion ii was decided to admit whole
salers jobbers and manufacturers
agents. as associate honorary members
upon their pledging themselves not to
supply goods to retailers cutting under
the regular and standard prices.
Such representatives are to receive
the associations care, and the retailers
are pledged in turn to favor those pre-
senting the certificate in placing their
orders.
President Briggs and the executive
committee of 10 were instructed to con-
fer with the wholesalers and to report
at the next meeting. two weeks hence.
how fully their cooperation may be
counted upOn.

the very verge of complete verification.
She makes a splendid character of Mrs.
Granger, and her emotion is vivid and
true in every scene. Her fight for her
husband is made regal; her gradual but
unconscious surrender to the splendid
type Temple represents is insinuatingly
accomplished and her great burst of
passion when her husbands despicabIe
nature is revealed and when he threat
ems to rob her of her children are
fine pieces of acting and real in every
element.
John w. Cope plays Marshfield
Craven, Temples confidential adviser,

person of Loretta Wells is a good
Characterization, though the inconsist-
encies of the role could scarcely be
covered by any art. Mrs. Mason. prim
puritan that she is, begs Anna, the
supposed stenographer. but really Mrs.
Granger, to protect her husband, even
though she knows him guilty, and to
send Temple to the penitentiary, even
though she knows him to be the most
innocent of millionaires.
Temples role by Milton Sills was
good, though physical differences be-
tween the ideal Temple and the player
were unavoidably in evidence.
