Jack Golden Jack Golden, after a season of suc- cess in the East, is once more in our midst. Last Sunday, with iiis musi- cal comedy company, he opened a sea- son at the Market Street Theatre in San Jose, and his success there has been so exceptional as to create wide- spread comment. In that city of self- satisfied conservatism such a thing as turning people away is a rare occur- rence, but this is the feat Jack Golden accomplished on Sunday, and since the business has been very large. As a finished character delineator. Jack Golden is one of our best. As a pro- ducer he is uncommonly good, and to his intimates he is regarded most highly as a man of character and un- bending integrity. In the show bus- iness. Jack has some great records. For instance, he played here in this city for nearly four solid years, and in other Coast cities he has played long and successful seasons. Husband of Modjeska Dead SANTA ANA, March 23.—A tele- gram announcing the death of Count Bozenta, husband of Madame Mod- jeska, the once well-known actress, in Krakow, Poland, was received here today from Ralph Modjeska. Count Bozenta was 76 years old. He died Friday ami the telegram said would be interred tomorrow. Hackett to Begin Fight for the Money NEW YORK, March 23.—The first move to break the will of the late Mrs. Minnie Hackett Trowbridge, half-niece of James K. Hackett, who left an estate of $1,500,000, was made today, when the objections to probate were filed in behalf of A. Oakey Hall, first cousin. Counsel representing Hackett, who may inherit more than $1,000,000 if the will is set aside, and the Misses Pearl and Leona Rechlin, second cousins, also will file objections at once. The Dick Tullys in Divorce Suit LOS ANGELES, March 24.— Richard Walton Tully, playwright and author of The Bird of Paradise, The Rose of the Rancho and other dramas, today filed suit for divorce from his wife, known in the literary world as Eleanor Gates, on the ground of de- sertion. Mrs. Tully, the petitioner avers, left her husband February i, 1913. Tullv only recently arrived here from New York, where Mrs. Tully now is. The petition was very brief. The Tullys were married in Merced County on January 20, 1901, and no such thing as incompatibility was dreamed of by their friends, but, ac- cording to the petition, this seems to have been the cause of all the trouble. Mrs. Tully's greatest success was prob- ably The Poor Little Rich Girl. She also wrote Cupid, and the Cow Ranch. NEW YORK, March 24.—When the news of the suit was conveyed by telephone to Miss Gates in her apart- ment, she laughed and .said: "That's very good news, indeed, though I knew nothing of Tully's intention. He jirobably expected me to bring suit. We have been separated a long time, you know, and the probability is that he would like to get married again. I have never sued for divorce, you know, for any suit that I would start in New York would have to involve a woman's name. In California the law is a little more merciful and allows a divorce on a sensible ground. How- ever, if any woman wants to marry Tully she is welcome to him, and if she has to live with Tully she would have enough sorrow without being dragged into court." T. J. Maguire Dies; Tongue- less. Sang Thomas J. Maguire, veteran theatri- cal manager, and .son of the founder of the old Alaguire Opera House in this city, who lived and talked and sang without a tongue, is dead. He died Monday night at his home in New York after a prolonged illness. Twelve years ago Maguire was attacked by cancer of the tongue as the result of smoking from 25 to 30 cigars a day, and it was found necessary to remove his tongue. It did not affect his power of speech or song. Maguire was 57 years old and is credited with having discovered Maude Adams. David Bel- asco was employed by Maguire doing odd jobs about the Maguire Theatre for $15 a week. Born in. San Fran- cisco, his father owned Maguire's Op- era House, situated on Washington Street, between Kearny and Mont- gomery streets. He brought Billy Em- erson and his minstrel band to this city and played them at Maguire's Opera House, afterwards moving them to Shiels Hall, on Bush Street, be- tween Kearny and Montgomery, when Emerson changed the name to the Standard Theatre. Jimmy Sullivan Dead Jimmy Sullivan, well and favorably known by many of the oldtimers of this city, died at Bay Rose, Sydney, N. S. W., at the home of his beloved sister, Maggie Moore, the noted Au.stralian actress. With his wife and daughter he was paying a visit to his sister, and while reclining on a lounge was attacked by heart failure, and breathed his last as if in sleep. Jimmy Sullivan journeyed to Australia with his sister and J. C. Williamson, who was his brother-in-law. He acted in the business capacity of business representative for J. C. Williamson for a number of years. Before leav- ing this, his native city, he adopted the stage as a profession, and in conjunc- tion with Will H. Bray, as partner, played all the variety houses of a tlecade ago. Besides his wife and married (laughter, he leaves three sis- ters. Maggie Moore, of Sydney, N. S. W., Mrs. Home and Mrs. Captain John Comstock of this city, besides numerous nieces and nephews in San Francisco and Virginia City, Nev. His death occurred Feb. 19. Fred Knigiit has joined the stock company in Roseburg.
