The San Francisco Dramatic Review (1908)

4 THE SAN FRANCISCO DRAMATIC REVIEW May 9, 1914 A type of Philippine Islander that the United States is developing into a civilized being. Baseball has become one of the most absorbings topics of general in- terest in the Philippines, as well as elsewhere. Who will be the pennant winners? will the Federals go the lim- it? These and other questions in the baseball world are discussed with as deep an interest in Manila and other sections of the Philippine Islands, as among the tens of thousands of ar- dent fans throughout the United States. "It is really wonderful," says Dean C. Worcester, for many years Secretary of the Interior in the Phil- ippines, "to see how it brightens them up and increases their activity and alertness." How the natives of the Philippines have become baseball fans is shown in the motion pictures on Native Life in the Philippines, in a series of six thousand feet of film, taking the brown men of the archi- pelago step by step from savagery to civilization. Native Life in the Phil- ippines w^ill be offered at the Columbia Theatre, commencing next Monday night. Matinees will be given daily.

GARRICK: Monte Carter is -Still presenting his entertaining series of Izzy performances. Monte is clever and his shows good. Business might be better. SLTSUX, May 7.—The Inter- mountain \\'agon Show presented The Girl of ICagle Ranch here last night to a full house. The production was well staged and a little better than the average tent show. The audi- ence seemed well pleased and there was no question but that they re- ceived their money's worth. This is the first production to play here this year, as the town is not a very good show town and the lack of proper quarters is rather trying to those who would like to make the town. J. G.

MacQuarrle and MacKellar Appreciated in Phila» delphia Bought and Paid For, George Broadhurst's production which is fa- miliar to Philadelphia audiences achieved at least two notable suc- cesses, when a two weeks' engage- ment was opened last night at the Walnut. .'\. rising star on the dramatic firmament twinkled and then shone forth from its place of well-nigh ob- scurity with a brilliancy which bid fair to outshine planets of well-known luminacy. Achievement No. 2. Had another person been allowed inside the historic old theatre, all the fire regulations would have been smashed to smithereens. It was hardly to be supposed that the play, after its re- cent long run in this city, would have, with an entirely new company, proved the tremendous attraction which it did last night. The reception was really a wonderful one. Helen Mac- Kellar, as Virginia Blaine, wife of the well-meaning but ever intoxicated millionaire, showed by her perform- ance of last night that her wonderful abilities must soon land her among the topnotchers. The girl is young and handsome. The part is difficult, but never did a famous star enact the role in a more consummate manner. Her emotional acting was superb, while her portrayal of the girl who was intensely human, but who stuck by a principle through great odds, earned for her the unanimous love of a large gathering. George D. Mac- Ouarrie, as Robert Stafford, the finan- cier who married X'irginia when she was a phone operator, and who was a fine fellow when himself, but a devil when intoxicated, grew better as the play advanced, and in the last act stood close to Miss MacKellar with the audience.— Philadelphia Ledger. Personal Mention Gi.KW Hari'KR is in town booming the Dean Worcester Philippine pic- tures, which show at the Columbia Theatre the next two weeks. Glemi has associated with him in these pic- tures, O. F. Rhoads, a well-known Los Angeles capitalist and moving pic- ture man. They have the rights for California, Nevada, .A.rizona and New Mexico. The Bandman Opera Company opened in Manila April 14, for an eleven nights' engagement. Edn.v Goodrich has definitely de- cided to quit the stage and live with her mother in Paris, where she has taken a handsome apartment. Miss Goodrich has just returned to Paris from Monte Carlo, where she had a great social triumph. Her triumph was crowned the other day when she won $40,000 at the Casino. She re- turns to Paris enraptured with Euro- pean life and determined to make her home here. She contemplates enter- taining on an extensive scale. "I have shaken the dust of America from my feet," she declared to a friend. "The theatre no longer attracts me." Orpheum Stock Company G. W. FUGHE, Mgr. THE BEST LITTLE SHOW IN THE WEST G. W.
