San Francisco dramatic review (1899)

September i, 1900 THE SAN FRANCISCO DRAMATIC REVIEW Wfz&t t^e ^)pe^ Jifent^ Jay * g Of Next Week's Attractions 0 0 THE COLUMBIA The regular combination season of the Columbia theatre will be inaugurated Monday evening with an elaborate production of A Great Obstacle, an adaptation of Charles Dickens' great play, No Thoroughfare, by the Clay Clement and L,. R. Stockwell Company The two well known stars are prime favorites in San Francisco, and their appearance in Dickens' great play will no doubt result in exceptionally fine business during their engagement. Mr. Clement will appear as Jules Obenreizer, the part in which the tragedian, Charles Fechter, scored such a hit some twenty-five years ago. Mr. Stockwell will be seen as Joey Ladle, a role he created when he was in Mr. Fechter's support. Matinees will be given Wednesdays and Saturdays. THE GRAND Great business continues the rule at the Grand Opera House with the Frawley Company, where The Silver King is drawing immense audiences. This play will have its last performance on Sunday night, and the following week, which is Wilton Lackaye' s last, will be given up to revivals of the two plays in which he has been most successful, namely-Children of the Ghetto and Trilby. The former will be given for the first time on Monday afternoon at a Labor Day matinee, and will hold the boards until Thursday night, during which time Mr. Lackaye will be seen again as the tender, lovable and genial Jewish priest, "Reb" Shemuel. Miss Van Buren will appear as Hannah Jacobs. From Friday to Sunday night with Saturday and Sunday matinees, Trilby will be presented with Mr. Lackaye again playing Svengali, and Miss Van Buren will be seen as Trilby. After Trilby Mr. Frawley announces a big production of Quo Vadis in which Adgie's lions will be a feature. THE TIVOLI The Tivoli Opera House will put forward a remarkable bill for the sixth week of the grand opera season, commencing Monday night, the operas to be given consisting of Ernani and Carmen. For Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights the opera will be Verdi's Ernani, and for Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday evenings and Saturday matinee, the offering is Bizet's Carmen. In Ernani, the bandit chief will be sung by Russo, while Ferrari will be heard as Don Carlos of Spain. Nicolini is to sing the role of Don Silva, and Zani is to sing Don Ricardo. Effie Stewart sings Elvira. Carmen will be alternately sung by Frances Graham and Lia Poletini, while Anna Lichter and Italia Repetto will alternate in the role of Michaela. Salassa will be heard as the Toreador, Barron Berthald is to be heard as Don Jose. William Schuster, SignorZani, A. Mesmer, and other favorites will be heard in Carmen. THE ALCAZAR With this Sunday evening's performance the repertoire season of Florence Roberts and White Whittlesey will have come to a close. Beginning Monday, Sept. 3, the Alcazar's new stock company will make its debut in a gorgeous scenic and costume presentation of The Masqueraders. The services of Howard Hall and Dorothy Dorr have been secured for leading roles and their support embraces several new faces and a careful picking of the old favorites. The Girl I Left Behind Me, follows for Admission week. THE ORPHEUM The new bill at the Orpheum should be as strong in attractions as any entertainment ever offered at this vaudeville house. Howe, Wall and Walters are instrumental comedians, and their act is said to be the funniest in the business. Gertrude Mansfield and Caryl Wilbur are old Orpheum favorites. They came here directly from London, and will appear in a comedy sketch, A Bird and a Bottle. Westmar and Wren, comedians, will present In Hayin* Time, a rural playlet. Little Frances Keppler is a clever juvenile performer who has been wonderfully successful in her character impersonations. The holdovers will be: Lew Hawkins, the Tobins, Lavender and Thomson, the biograph and the wonderful Yoscery troupe of acrobats. The big attraction for the week beginning Sept. 9 will be Jessie Bartlett Davis. Matinees Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. THE NEW ALHAMBRA Everything is now in readiness for the opening of Ship Ahoy at the Alhambra. After rehearsing day and night for the past week, the company is about perfect in every detail. The big chorus is especially good. There is every indication that the popular piece is on for a run. The advance sale does not open until Monday, but already large blocks of seats have been engaged for the first week. These have mostly been secured by Native Sons' parlors in various parts of the State who desire to attend Ship Ahoy some night during their stay in this city. Hartman has prepared a supply of gags and jokes on the Native Sons that promise to be the talk of the town when he springs them. COLUMBIA I ' AIH.NO I HJA1IR THE ALTA East Lynne closed a successful week at the Alta Theatre with this Sunday evening's performance. Beginning Monday evening, the Alta management will present a bran new play by Capt. Jack Crawford, the poet scout. He and Buffalo Bill were old "pals" of the plains, and each have won an enviable record for all lovers of the sensational. Capt. Crawford for a time has left the trail, and during the time has written and dramatized his life on the plains in a play thrilling with adventure, etc. , entitled On the Trail.
