Play on Sanisens and
Will Also Dance

Eight 'Geisha girls direct from a
European tour viii begin two weeks
enga cement this Afternoon at the Or
pheum theater. At the London Hippo
drome, where they appeared recently
they created a sensation, and as ex-
ponents of the vocal, pantomimic and
instrumental art of the land of the
rising sun they are said to be un-
equaled. A feature of the perform
ance which the japanese girls give is
their posture dancing, which is as
beautiful as it is unusual They ac-
company themselves on the native in
strument, the samisen, which is a kind
of a banjo.
Jean Clermont's circus is another
feature act which the Orpheum will
provide 1t is a recent importation

AMERICAN PLAYER
IN NATIVE COMEDY
w. H. Crane Is Big Hit as Hero
in George AIDES Father
and the Boys"

Now that the opening of the new
historic fact and the interest attaching
10 the beginning of a great theatrical
enterprise has subsided somewhat, the
play which is being presented in the
beautiful playhouse is getting more of
the attention which il deserves. The
second week of william II. Crane in
Father and the Boys" promises to be
even better than the first, and the
noted comedian is proving at every per-
formance his singularly rich gifts OF
humor and Characterization.
OF all the comedies which Crane has
appeared in for the last quarter Of a
century none fits him so well as this
comedy by George Ade.
The play deals with the predicament
% father who is country bred and
who has accumulated a fortune by
buckling down to business. His sons
are college bred and refuse to interest
themselves in the business, much 10
the old gentleman's sorrow. While
father works the sons loaf, one going
in for athletics and the other for So
ciety. Father finally grows weary of
the game and decides TO get out and
circulate" He soon shows the boys
lie can lead the procession, and as he
neglects business the boys are obliged
10 look after it,
There is plenty OF good humor in the
first two acts, but when father starts
an on his sporty career in, the third
act hilarity is cut loose and is kept up
until the final curtain 1t is very
evident from this brief synopsis that
the role is a typical Crane part" 1t
was written for him and he makes the
most Of every opportunity
Margaret Dale as Bessie Rrayton
from Nevada has made one of the great
hits OF her career. She is a favorite
IN San Francisco and has been given
warm welcome the last week Louis
Massen is another member of the cast
wei known TO theater patrons in this
city.

"ST. ELMO" LIKE A
FRAGRANT MEMORY
Alcazar Production Appeals to
Age and Youth Alike and
Is a Great Success

So emphatic was the hit scored at the
Monday evening at the Alcazar that the
management decided. to retain the play
a second week. 1t was witnessed by
the largest assemblage of first night
ers inn the history of the Sutter street
home of drama. and so favorably did
it impress them that an exceptionally
successful run was assured. Since then
the audiences have grown in numerical
strength and enthusiasm.
''St. Elmo" is to many like the read
of the novel from which it was adapted
have been stained by the tears of our
grandmotkers, and in the Alcazar last
week We're more gray haired people
than are usually seen at theater. The
younger generation found the play
hardly less interesting than did their
elders, for its heart theme appealed to
all and its style of construction is
strongly modern.
In dramatizing the book Willard Hol-
comb had double task and performed
it WELL 1t was necessary to make
play that would satisfy modern taste
and at the same time preserve the ro-
manticism that was popular in fiction
half century ago. The result is a re-
markably clever example of drama
tism. While the atmosphere of the
novel is thoroughly retained and the
original character drawing adhered to,
up to date art in the staging and acting
makes the performance SAVIOR of scenes
and people of today.
The ability of the Alcazar company
was never put to more eXacting test
than by this play, and to the cast is
largely due the success of the perform
ance. John Ince, as ST. Elmo Murray,
realizes in his own person the romantic
attributes of this we'll known figure of
romance. Evelyn Vaughan makes Edna
Earl young woman well worth all the
trouble made over her, Grace Travers
as the other girl in the case, Adele Bel
garde as st. Elmo's mother, Christie
MacLean as The garrulous Mrs. Wood
Bessie Barriscale as her daughter and
Louis Bennison. VIII r. Walling. George
Baldwin, William Garwood, Charles
Trowbridge, Howard Hickman. Charles
Dow Clark and Walter Belasco have
seldom been seen to better advantage
than in tSt. Elmo"

OPERA SINGERS HEAD
NATIONAL PROGRAM
VocaIists of Wide Reputation
Lead an Excellent Bill

The Romany opera company will
head the new bill which starts this
afternoon at the National theater. This
aggregation consists Of seven grand
opera singers, who will give a melange
of the brightest gems of light and
comic operas, in addition to the pop
ular songs of Europe. Their act is
considered to be one of the best in
vaudeville, and is equipped with every
scenic requirement.
The four Baltus, who were featured
at the London Hippodrome, will be the
added attraction. These two acts were
imported by Sullivan & Considine, and
each has a superior and novel spe-
cialty.
1.-The Operator a dramatic sketch
by Charles Kenyon, is regarded as one
of the strongest playlets of the present
time. Its realism grips the audience
frorf the beginning until the end. 1t is
interpreted by Leo Cooper and Miss
Rosina Zaliska. Eckert and Francis
have something unusual in the vaude-
vile line. They are known as conver-
sationists, and their offering is full
of new ideas. Edgar Berger and Ger
man, e4uilibrists of note, and Adams
and company, musicians, will complete
the bill.

kOLB AND DILL
IN DOUBLE BILL
"Higgledy Piggledy' and "Col-
lege Widower" Make Laughs
at the Princess

No offering of the last Kolb and Dill
season has so caught the public favor
as has the initial bill of the spring
season, which was successfully launched
last Sunday night at the Princess thea
ter. "Higgledy Piggledy" and the bur-,
lesque of George Ade's The College
Widow" termed ''Ihe College Widower,"
have proved admirable vehicles for the
exploitation of the favorite German
comedians peculiar brand of fun max
ing, and the indications are that the
present attractions will have the long
est run of any productions that Kolb
and Dill have given
Edgar Smith, the famous Weber and
Fields librettist, has conceived some ex-
ceedingly funny situations in the two
pieces that make up the bill, and his
excellent sense of travesty is admirably
exhibited in the book of The College
Widower." The scores, for which Maui
rice Levi is responsible, are happy in
tnelr possession Of some tuneful num-
bers, and the ensembles are rich in
melody
In Higgledy Piggledy,7 Kolb, as
Gottileb Gesler president ofsthe cheese
sandwich trust. and Dill, as Adolph
Schnitz, president of the mustard trust,
portray Germanic types that they have
made familiar, but in THE College
Widower there is a departure from
tradition in their presentations. Kolb is
professor Witheredloon, the college
president and he is seen at his funniest
while the corpulent Dill dons a Won
derful pink calico, cut a la Princess,
and, minus his familiar chin whiskers,
shows how coquettish he can be as
Iilly Buttin, the belle of the village
and the star football, player on the
eleven of Backwater's college for girls.
He Is an excruciating success.
Maude Lillian Berri has several ex
cellent opportunities to display her high
soprano and notable evidence of her
versatility as an actress is shown in
her handling of the role of Philopena
Schnitz in "Higgledy Piggledy," role
unlike any she has heretofore essayed
at the Princess. The others Of the cast
are congenially bestowed In both pieces.
The chorus is feature of the pro-
auction, and the military drill in the
hrst act is one of the finest spectacles
seen on local stage

Il will be remembered that Prof.
w. B. Gregory of the U. s. Dept.
of Agriculture, and incidentally
president of the Louisiana society Of
engineers and an instructor In Tu-
lane University at New Orleans,
paid us n visit. While here he
made extensive Investigations into
our irrigation system, making some
photographs and notations when he
called on our farmers. Since that
time he has travelled extensively in
the southwest, making the same
careful Investigations, and upon his
recent return to New Orleans, he
wrote President Ely. of the Cham
her of Commerce. the following
pleasing information:
Il wish to write you few words
to let you know that got back to

irrigated for many years and other

tion service and his opinion is abso-
