San Francisco dramatic review (1899)

January i, 1910 THE SAN FRANCISCO DRAMATIC REVIEW 7 Correspondence from Mars is having a capable presentation at the hands of the Lois Stock Co.. in fact it is played to better effect than by the traveling companies who have appeared here in the same play. Capacity houses will undoubtedly be the rule for the week. ORPHEUM— Julius Steger, in The Fifth Commandment, heads the bill. The Willy Pantzer company of acropantomimic artists divide headlines. The Doherty Sisters, described as "those ginger girls" ; Irene Romaine, a versatile little comedienne ; Kramer & Ross, in eccentric comedy; Jean Clermont's Burleske Circus, and Toki Muriati, a lapanese equilibrist, complete an exceptional bill. MAJESTIC— Al. B. Reno's Misfit Army, a genuine scream, has the top lines. Sallie Stembler, a rattling little comedienne ; Billy J. Coleman, piano monologist and songster; La Mirette, a dashing French danseuse ; the Four Melanis, Italian opera singers; and Paulinette & Picquo, European eccentrics, round out a feature bill. PANTAGES — A special attraction for the children and animal lovers is Petroff's comedy animal circus, which comes here for the first time. For music lovers there is the Kilmer-Taylor-Wilson Trio. They are a soprano, tenor and baritone of excellent voices. Other acts are Clotilde & Montrose, Mills & Flynn, the Jones-Williams company, Elliott & West, Helen Lowe and the Pantagescope. E. MORGANSTERN. RIVERSIDE, Cal., Dec. 17.— With Seats for the David Warfield performance selling at from $1 to $4, Riverside theatre goers last evening stayed at home and cuddled up a little closer, all the while thinking how large the price of admission would look in their jeans in the morning. The company came from Phoenix and as the train was 12 hours late it was 11:30 before the curtain rose and 2 130 ere it descended on the last act. The audience was very small, as the advance sale had been meagre. Those who attended, however, saw a very fine performance of The Music Master, the play in which Warfield has been such a pronounced success. RIVERSIDE, Cal., Dec. 29.— Last night at the Loring, to a fair house, The Wolf, with Andrew Robson in the leading role. Jan. 1, (J. S. C. Glee Club; Jan. 4, Mine.

Sedley Brown Tackles 7 5 Sides at Short Notice Sedley Brown, in writing from Bellingham, says: "You are safe on stating in your paper that our opening was a big success. The Bellingham people say that they never saw such a house in the theatre before, and never laughed so much in their life. Are You a Mason? was the opening. Our leading man did not arrive in time and at the last moment little Sedley had to jump in and play Perry ( see program ). This part is 75 sides, and I spoke every if — and — but. Only had one day to do the trick, with all my other work. Going some for an old man, eh? This theatre, Charlie, is Harry Wyatt's Home Wrecked by Vandals Burglars rifled and almost wrecked the beach mansion of H. C. Wyatt, the Los Angeles manager, at Playa del Rey, Christmas night, demolishing the elegant furniture, smashing all the plate-glass windows, using French mirrors for revolver targets, and firing many shots through the ceiling and roof. The house, which cost $15,000, stands apart, and is occupied but a few days at a time during the winter. Mr. Wyatt went there last Wednesday to make arrangements for a dinner party and discovered the vandalism. He says be will spend any amount to track the malicious destroyers. Tbe burglars, who entered by breaking a window, drank all the champagne, whisky and other liquors in the cellar, stole every small article of value they could carry, and took off their old clothes and put on Wyatt's best. Then they took Wyatt's own revolver, which they found in a dresser with a box of cartridges, and shot up the building. "We were lonesome and had noplace to spend Christmas, so we just stopped over a little while," read a note pinned on the door.
