San Francisco dramatic review (1899)

May II, 1901 THE SAN FRANCISCO DRAMATIC REVIEW 15 The Orpheum OUR excellent vaudeville house, The Orpheum, presents a wonder- fully good program this week. In fact, it is seldom that anything but a good program is seen there now-a- days. It proves interesting and some- times absorbing from start to finish. Ingham, the equilibrist, does some good balancing feats. Barnes and Sis- son present an original musical farce, A Marriage Broker, which is very en- joyable—as one man said, "It's Great." The Patterson Bros, give a very good triple horizontal bar per- formance, with hand jump clear across the stage. The Four Huntings, ec- centric accrobatic dancers, do a very fine comic song and dance act, one of the best seen here this season. Alf Grant appears with an entirely new repertory of songs and jokes. His sketches from life are good, and he is a general favorite. The Agoust fam- ily present a wonderful act in jug- glerj-, and as I heard some one say be- hind me, "It's out of sight." It is one of the most interesting acts of the evening. Mclntyre and Heath have a coon success in two scenes, called The Georgia Minstrels. It's simply bubbling over with fun and frolic. Zeb and Zarrow complete an already fine program with a clever comedy act which is fascinating. They climb steps, skip ropes, and steeple chase one over the other in the most start- ling fashion. Fischer s Concert House Fischer's presents an excellent pro- gram this week. Mabel Bowman, the contralto, is applauded nightly. Evans, Tevees and Master Evans are a clever sketch artist team; Sig. G. S. Wanrell, the basso cantante, is con- tinuing his success of last week. Oro, Dalton & Oro, the Golden West Trio, present again. Scenes in Chinatown; Belle Hilton, the dancing soubrette, scores a success with her new songs; Satanella is a marvelous contortionist; calls himself the up-to-date man; De Camp & Murdock present their origi- nal sketch. Retaliation. The Chutes THE Chutes presents a bill full of good things this week. Powers & Freed, the clever musicians, play popular selections on several instru- ments. The Samayoas present a most daring act on the flying trapeze. Thatcher & Chenoworth have a very pleasing sketch. Gus Leonard, the German comedian, will make anybody laugh. Carroll, the Whistler, is here, and Maude Mclntyre presents some good character impersonations. The Otympta SOME new faces at the Olympia this week add to the strength and make up a good program. Claudie Warde, the balladist, makes a first ap- pearance and is well received. W. D. Bentley, a musical artist, receives hearty encores. Dave Barton, the singing and dancing comedian, makes a hit every evening. Its Dot Stan- ley's farewell week. Adelaide Sulli- van, Carlton and Royce, Mabel Hud- son, Anita Lamont, with Camelia and Amelita, complete the evening's pro- gram. Vaudeville Notes Nellie Bruce opens at the Olympia May 13th.

Great Golden Testimon- ial to George Fuller Golden Seldom has a more wonderful dem- onstration ever been held than that accorded George Fuller Golden at his "Golden" Jubilee at Koster and Bial's, New York. The receipts of the thea- tre for the night were in the neighbor- hood of $4,000, while in the loving cup presented to Mr. Golden by the members there was something like $5,000 in gold pieces. The lobby of the theatre was jammed at 7:30, and from that hour until 9 o'clock there was a steady stream of humanity. Everybody who could be there was present and all wished the "big chief" the best of luck.
