San Francisco dramatic review (1899)

September i, 1900 THE SAN FRANCISCO DRAMATIC REVIEW 13 The Dewey Theatre Personal cMention A splendid production of The Two Orphans is being presented at the Dewey. De Witt Clinton gives an excellent impersonation of Chevalier Maurice de Vandrey, and Jeffrey D. Williams, as Jaques Frochard, is exceptionally clever, his commanding figure and powerful voice making the character quite prominent. Landers Stevens had a fine conception of the noble character of Pierre, the cripple, but his tall figure is not at all suited to the part. Maurice Stewart, as Picard, is as jolly as ever, and James Corrigan is acceptable as the Doctor. Fanny Gillette, as Henriette, acts the part in a most artistic style. Louise, her blind sister, was portrayed by Edna Ellsmere, who shows considerable ability as an actress of emotional parts. Gracie Plaisted goes out of her class in acting the part of Marianna. Pauline Maitland as Mother Frochard, is very clever, and Mina Maitland is good in her impersonation of two characters. The scenery is very artistic, and the play is well received. Macdonough Theatre Joaquin Miller's '49 is playing y this week. Maud Miller, as Carrots has the leading part. Her impersonation of the red-headed waife is up to her usual good work. E. J. Holden makes a decided hit as '49, the hero of the hills. Clifford Dempsey, as Arthur Denison, does some good acting, and Chas. King in the disagreeable character of Tom Bradshaw, is as usual very clever. Harry Rattenbury makes a good Old Ned. The General, a "total wreck," is well acted by Frank Opperman.and Walter Whipple, as Col. James, does exceptionally well. Geo. Hermance makes much of his small part. May Evelynne, as Mississippi, acts the part with considerable skill, and lone Everette makes a very handsome appearance as Miss Bell. The scenic effects are very beautiful. Carroll Marshall has lecovered sufficiently from her late severe illness to leave for Los Angeles next week. Howard Scott is back from a vacation spent in the Santa Cruz mountains and at Santa Barbara. Selby Oppenheimer left last week for the north with his Brownie show, which will travel as far East as St. Paul. John Cordkav left for Portland last Tuesday night, after a busy stay in San Francisco. George Soule Spencer was married Aug. 23, at Denver, to Lillian White, a non-professional. Baron Berthold, an oldTivoli favorite, will arrive to-day from the East to join the opera company. Wilton Lackave and wife and Thomas Phillips leave for the East next week, after their Frawley season. Helen Merrill who will be with Dunne & Ryley next season, left Tuesday to report in New York. George Lask, who will be general stage director for Dunne & Ryley, leaves next week for New York and possibly a short trip to London. Tom Greene sings the sweetest little ballad ever written, Kitty Dear. It's beautiful. Ask him to sing it for you. He will do it.
