San Francisco dramatic review (1899)

March 3, 1900 THE SAN FRANCISCO DRAMATIC REVIEW Miss Grace Shain, stage name Field, is a recent addition to the Tivoli chorus. She is a well-known local society girl of decidedly good looks and much talent. Augustus Thomas, the dramatist, who is spending the winter at Santa Barbara, is writing a new play for James Neill, in which that actor will appear next season. Edward E. Rice, the veteran manager, was given a monster beneht at the Metropolitan Opera House week before last, and when he was through counting his money he had $6500. In the Nethersole and Abbott Stock Company playing in Portland are Chas. W. King, Charles Welch, Alex Beauford, Page Spencer, Oscar Norfleet, Carl Nixon, Eddie Holland, Miss Laura Adams, Ollie Cooper, Miss Georgia Cooper, Colder Snow. S. Homer Henley sang Tuesday evening in San Jose for the oratorio of St. Paul's. The Mercury gave him a splendid newspaper compliment on his singing. The Music Review of Boston recently published a sketch of his musical career. Stanley Ross left Saturday for Hanford to join the Dailey Stock Company, having been called on suddenly to help out the Daileys. Mr. Ross has been released for five weeks by the Alcazar management and will assume the roles that have been filled by Darrell Vinton. Mr. Ross, as soon as he has time to work up his parts, will give a good account of himself. James Neill, of the Neill Company, has just been presented with a most interesting historical relic in the shape of a chair that came over in the Mayflower. It was given to him by a Mrs. Largey, a very wealthy woman of Butte, Mont., and had been in her family for many years. On the back of the chair is inscribed the information that it was presented to William Jones, the first governor of Massachusetts in 1682. Scott Seaton has developed into a very valuable acquisition to the stage this season. The Omaha News recently commenting on What Happened to Jones, said . "The gem of the support was Scott Seaton' s portrayal of the Bishop of Ballarat. Mr. Seaton invested the part, which is so easily made ridiculous, with an aristocratic dignity that was a vast improvement over the horse play which usually marks the role." Sydney Platt is once more singing with the Tivoli forces. Walter Morosco got back from New York Monday, after a pleasant and successful trip. Developments will appear later. Bernice Holmes arrived Wednesday from the East. Miss Holmes has been appearing with the Castle Square people with much success. While President Oom Paul Kruger is fighting the terrible struggle of the Transvaal, his neice, Sannie Kruger, is indulging in mimic warfare in the Tivoli Chorus. M. J. Hooley, Sam Shaw's popular comedian, after a three and a half years association with the company, leaves the organization at McMinnville, Oregon, next week. Marcia Van Dresser, the beauty of the Bostonians, has confided to a friend in this city, that she will soon enter the state of matrimony and possibly retire from the stage. The revival of "His Excellency the Governor" in London, was in every way successful. Gertude Elliott made a splendid impression. The critics unite in praise of her work, which is referred to as "finished," "charmingly natural" and "utterly devoid of affectation." Oliver Morosco has been in town this week shaking hands with his multitude of friends and telling that Los Angeles is a great show town — always, of course, speaking with the Burbank in mind. Mr. Morosco has built up in a surprisingly short time an extremely large clientele for his theatre and has done really remarkable business since he took charge of the theatre. He returns tonight. During his absence, Charlie Eyton, his efficient treasurer, has been directing things. Mrs. Jessie Calhoun Anderson, director of the Calhoun School of Acting, Elocution and Physical Training, gave a charming entertainment on Washington's Birthday at Golden Gate Hall, the rooms being handsomely decorated with flowers and flags and dainty refreshments enjoyed by the guests. Miss Ethel Williams gave some clever children's impersonations. Mrs. E. H. Kemp read from Dickens' Old Curiosity Shop, Mr. Kemp illustrating with beautiful views. By special request, Mrs. Anderson gave some scenes from Shakespeare.
