San Francisco dramatic review (1899)

September i, 1900 THE SAN FRANCISCO DRAMATIC REVIEW 15 becomes. That is why she never overacts, is never theatrical. • * * The work she has done here this summer calls for acknowledgment from every honest pen and to our credit as journalists be it said the acknowledgment has not lacked. If the road to New York be paved with good criticism, then is hers well paved. * * * She has one serious fault. She is stubborn. She says she is not a comedienne. Now I know that in her new play, comedy and emotion must run hand in hand to a strong third act scene, if New York is to see her at her best. It is not well to be too agreeing. It is so interesting and developing to argue. Whatever sort of play she choose, I want to see the curtain rise and fall on her success. I want to be there to say, "I told you so." Goodbye. Who knows when we may meet again. Who knows how soon you may be fenced in East of the Rockies. C. T. P. S. I hope it will be a moral play. O, author! O, man! wherefore art thou dust, and if dust, why make mud of thyself and spatter the moralities of thy neighbor. C. T. Personal Mention Howard Hall and Dorothy Dorr are the Alcazar's new leading people who will open in The Masqueraders Sept. 3d. Frank Opperman, who announces in another column that he will be at liberty after October 1, is a reliable and experienced actor and above the average as a comedian and character man. White Whittlesey leaves next Monday morning for his home in Connecticut, where lie will rest a couple of weeks before reporting for rehearsals with Ada Rehan. Mr. Whittlesey has done some of the best work of his career this summer and has demonstrated that he is entitled to a high place in the profession. J. Rush Bronson, who has been the most successful manager the Los Angeles Orpheum ever had, will take charge of the Omaha house next week. Eric Pollock, an Eastern man, will be the new resident manager of the Los Angeles Orpheum. T. Daniel Frawley filed his answer Monday in the suit instituted against him by the Doris Amusement Company and Louis Harrison to restrain him from producing the comedy, In Paradise, in which he asserts that he purchased the right to produce the play from B. B. Valentine, and assumes that Valentine was the lawful owner of the play, thus placing the proof of ownership on the plaintiffs. Mazie Trumbull, the beautiful little soubrette who made a big hit in a prominent New York production two years ago, is making a great success this season in Charles H. Hoyt's revival of his most successful farcecomedy — A Brass Monkey. She is playing the part of Baggage, the daughter of the village Jonah. This piece will be presented on the coast this season. It is one of the most meritorious and important productions to be seen here, and Miss Trumbull's success in the part of Baggage will prove of more than passing interest to theatre patrons who delight in pure fun. tVft/TE TO US FOR ENGRAVING OF ANY N/NO. ~~~ I f you reflect a rnomentyou will wear Aasfs shoes, ^hy? /oot com fort -they fit lvalue comfort they wear— //rid the price, we 11. thats right.
