San Francisco dramatic review (1899)

January 2, 1909. THE SAN FRANCISCO DRAMATIC REVIEW 7 The Lion and the Mouse and The Alaskan Are Two Prominent Visitors in Oakland ThlS Week Oakland. Dec. 31. — Clias. Klein's great play. The Lion and the Mouse, is with us again and is inducing great enthusiasm at the Macdonough. Although seen here before, the play seems to have lost none of its great popularity, and the large audiences are more than generous with their applause. The company is headed by P'aul Everton and Edna Archer Crawford, who are stars of considerable ability, and the balance of the cast is fully up to the standard of players usually seen in Henry 1!. Harris' productions. The Alaskan was seen at the Macdonough. 28-29, and proved an interesting production. There are many scenes familiar to Alaskan frontier life which gave the audience a pretty clear insight as to how things were done in the early life of the great northern country. The company showed ability, and the voices of both principals and chorus were well worth hearing. A revival of Sherlock Holmes, with Landers Stevens as the hero, and George Webster in the role of the arch-villain, is the Liberty's offering this week, and is doing a fine business. The stage settings for the play are exceptionally fine and caused considerable favorable comment, and the electrical effects were also of a very pleasing nature. The important roles fall to Geo. Friend. E. L. Ilennison, Clarence Elmer and [sabelle Fletcher, and are well taken care of. Madame Sans Gene will follow. Gus Edwards' Blonde Typewriters are still the big feature at the Orpheum and are the recipients of great ovations at every performance. The newcomers this week include Four Franklins, liert Howard and Effie Lawrence, Sophie DeWolf. The hold-overs are Harry Tate's English Company, Eva Taylor and company. Majestic Trio. Business continues good, and the year, according to Manager Eby. has been a very satisfactory one. The Zingaris, eight full-blooded gypsies, who render grand opera selections, are the headliners at the Bell and are proving a strong attraction. At the Novelty, Derenda and Green and Burton Weston & Co. are the best of a good bill and are playing to good-sized audiences. In Wyoming, Brewster's Millions, The Red Mill, Lambardi Opera Co., John Drew, Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, Fifty Miles from Boston, In Toy Land and The Merry Widow are future bookings at the Macdonough. Madame Gadski will give a concert at Ye Liberty, Jan. 20th. She will be assisted by Frank La Forge, the composer. LOUIS SCHEELINE. The Story of the Return of the Dog Sax Bernardino, Dec. 26. — Manager J. W. Leonard of the Unique Theatre was made happy today by the unexpected return of his big bulldog, which was expressed in charge of the Wells-Fargo Company from ( )akland by Louis James, the actor. Ten days ago the company was in this city, and on its departure the bulldog disappeared. Manager Leonard advertised and solicited the assistance of the police, but all in vain. Monday he received a happy inspiration, and telegraphed Louis James : "As a professional friend, I ask that you have the member of your company who stole my bulldog return it here by express at my expense." This was a mere conjecture on Mr. Leonard's part, and when the agent of the express company telephoned him today that his dog had arrived, he was about the most surprised man in town. Edna Goodrich Has Certain Ideas of Business To Edna Goodrich, the fourth woman he has induced to enter the matrimonial double harness with him, Xat Goodwin has given half the income from a property, stocks and bond pool, amounting to $231,500. He will get the other half himself. The deed covering the fund, which makes Mayor T. H. Dudley of Ocean l'ark 1 where Goodwin maintains a summer home), was filed December 29. in the office of Los Angeles County Recorder Charles Logan. It was executed in London on August 14 b.st, a date which shows that the comedian and mine broker was successful when he went scurrying over Europe last Slimmer in pursuit of Miss Goodrich, after the announcement of her engagement to Harry McMillan, the Nevada millionaire. It is also apparent that he carried on some financial negotiations, along with the lovemaking that destroyed his rival's hopes of making the stunning actress his bride, and to those whose memories can recall events three months back, that romantic session between pursuer and pursued possibly will carry an explanation of the cool attitude of Miss Goodrich toward McMillan on his return from abroad, and the breaking of the engagement which soon followed. The principal piece of real estate conveyed to the trustee is the Lafayette Apartment I louse in San Francisco, which is valued at $ioo,ooo. Goodwin's Ocean l'ark home.

LAURETTE Taylor's costume in Yosemite so shocked the natives of Buffalo that a police inspector arrested the manager of the Teck Theatre, and the matter is now being heard in the courts. It will be remembered that as Lone Star. Laurette wears a gown of fig leaves. The Buffalo varieties of fig leaves seem to be small and few in the hill, to judge by the newspaper reports and the extraordinary demand for front row seats at the Teck these days.
