Maude Allan is oh her way to the
Garrick theater, there to appear IN
four evenings OF dancing exhibitions.
This will be San Francisco's first op-
portunity to see a legitimate exponent
of the new school of dancing.
Whether a girl can interpret in bodily
motion the sentiments of Chopln's fu-
nereal march or Beethoven symphony
or a Haydn sonata may reasonably be
doubted However. that is what Maude
Allan intends TO do and that is what
she has been credited with having done
by critics of the dance all over the
world. She is also bound to do the
Salome dance, which was the acnleVe-
ment that first won her wide fame, or
notoriety. She has danced before all
the crowned heads of Europe, so 1t IS
claimed. and now she returns to her
native city to let us see what her art
is like
Fred Butler tells me that he is having
the time of his life trying to select
types to fill cut the cast at the Alcazar
for the forthcoming production of Sal j
play are denizens of the slums and the
cast calls for so speaking characters.
Its easy enough" says Butler. Ito find
male and female hoboes and delin-
quents, but il is another matter to
show them how TO act themselves when
the tootlights fare in front of them.
So / have given up trying to get alb
solute types and am contenting myself
with the amateur actors and actresses
who are willing to learn how to be on
the stage what they are not off.
JoliX May Irwin, who has been in
retirement since she married her press
agent will return to the stage either
this spring or early next fall under
the direction of Liebler & Co. AS a
result of long persuasion she has signed
a contract for her appearance in a
new comedy by Booth Harrington and
Harry Leon Wilson. The title of the
play is Mrs. jim" and it will be pro-
duced i'm New York probably this
spring.
Timothy Daniel Frawley. we'll known
to all San Francisco theater goers a
former manager of stock companies and
who once starred Blanche Bates, has
decided to forsake theatricals and de-
vote his future to mining.
Toward the end of May Fra awley will
retire from the stage, intending to
ma Ike his withdrawal permanent. He
hopes 10 get into Alaska during the
month of June, at which time of year
the ice goes out, enabling the placer
miners to proceed with their opera
tons until September. Frawley was
in the Klondike region last summer.
when he acquired quarter interest
in some valuable gravel property upon
which he cleaned up more than $1,000
for his share of the profits before being
driven out by the cold weather. He is
convinced that fortune awaits him in
the far north.
