noted COMEDIAN
COMES TO SAVOY
Jefferson de Angels in "The
Beauty Spot" Heads a
Big Company

Jefferson de Angels returns to his
native city in Reginald DeKoven and
Joseph Herberts latest success. The
Beauty Spot IN an elaborate produc-
ton of which piece he will be seen at
the head of large and clever company
at the Savoy for an engagement limited
to eight nights beginning this evening.
The claim is made that The Beauty
Spot. is far ahead of the ordinary mu-
steal attraction in star, company, au-
,thership, mana cement and equipment.
There are more than 20 musical num-
hers which are said to exhibit the
genius of the composer of Robin
Hood in a better light than anything
he has written since the Bostonians
staged and performed that MASTER
piece of comic opera.
The second act of THE Beauty Spot"
shows the rich. tropical gardens OF a
hotel. Flowers, lights. and brilliantly
costumed guests add brilliancy to the
scene and it is here that several novel
which will be surprise to theater
goers.
De Angels is characteristic in his
role of General Samovar. His make
up is legitimate. but it is at the same
time ludicrous. and his peculiar stage
mannerisms and eccentricitfes, which
have conspired to make De Angels
unique among American comedians. are
in hearty evidence. His song, "She
Sells Sea Shells is guaranteed to
create more mirth than any song offer
ing for season.
The cast is composed mainly of the
original New York company, some Of
the very well known artists being
George ]. MacFarlane. Villa Gillette
Florence Martin, Joseph Fay, Marcus
Beeman, Inez Dean. Arvid Paulson, Ida
vantine and others. The company
Plumbers over 60.
Miss Martin will be remembered in
San Francisco as the tiny soubrette
who played unimportant roles with the
rise in the theatrical skies has been
rapid but based on genuine achieve
ment.
In addition to the regular Thursday
and Saturday matinees there will be
an extra performance Monday after
noon. The engagement closes after
the performance next Sunday night
Mary Mannering in "A Mans World"
follows the De Angels engagement at
the Savoy.
When Madame Sherry" comes to San
Francisco Oscar Figman will be seen
In the role of Theophilus Sherry, which
is said to be a better part for him
than was the role OF Popoff. which was
one of the best Characterization in the
performances of the Merry Widow

"ROAD SHOW" IS
ORPHEUM'S GIFT
Best Aggregation in Vaudeville
Is Promised for the
Holidays

The Orpheum road show, which Is al
ways regarded as the greatest theatri-
cal event Of the year. and which pays
us a visit every Christmas. Will open
on this Sunday matinee at the Orpheum.
AS usual it is under the direction OF
Martin Beck, who. this season has. IL
possible. surpassed all his previous ef
forts in this direction, the result being
a program which includes a number
Of the most famous artists in the old
and new world. and which can not fail
to elicit admiration and give complets
satisfaction to all who witness II.
The twin brothers Rfgoletto. Charles
and Henry. who are considered the
most versatile artists in the world. and
who created great sensation in vaude-
Vile. have after much difficulty been In
duced by Beck to cross the Atlantic.
Their performance Is divided into eight
parts, each entirely distinct and ex-
cellent. They excel as instrumental
lists. juggIers. as Chinese magfcians. as
mimics, as nlusionists; in plastic poses
as acrobats. and as aerial gymnasts.
The bewitching La Pia, appropriately
styled "the enchantress." comes direct
from the Palace theater London. where
she created a furor and was literally
besieged by English managers for re-
turn dates. The coming program
will be the means of introducing her 10
American audiences. AS a fantastic
dancer, La Pia. who is a girl of ex
traordinary. beauty OF face and figure.
is unexcelled. Her most splendid effort
Is her final dance. The stage is trans
formed into a raging sea. and the
breakers roll thunderingly against the
shore. In the midst of the waves La
Pia suddenly appears. She Is tossed
by the waves, and IS finally swallowed
up by the angry waters.
Howard, Scotland's premier ventrilo-
quist. will be another new attraction
Like most Of his countrymen he IS
gifted with a keen sense of humor.

joyment Of his act

good prima donna; Robert Downing,

who at that time had in his Tally Ho'

Dan Sully in Corner Grocery Ed Mac

ny. 1 told him I was, he believed 1t
and gave me a job where I got real
money regularly I stayed with him
for three years and that's the finish
of the distresses of De Angels"
The last visit that the comedian
made to San Francisco was in 1901.
and the date of his arrival was, coin
cidentally. December 19, or to the very
day of nine years from the time he
arrived last week in THE Beauty
Spot"
Thus, the native. born San Franciscan
has been back to his home town only
thrice in rs years. Once in 1884 when
he arrived with $40 in his pocket from
Australia; once in 1901 when he re-
turned after II years in the east. And
here he is for the third time in The
Beauty Spot" which 1 hope for the
mutual pleasure of the now noted
comedian and his home folks will be
the success that it is claimed it is.
and will prove to that most skeptical
of people, the home folks, that the
fame won by De Angels in the east is
authentic.
