San Francisco dramatic review (1899)

March 17, 1900 THE SAN FRANCISCO DRAMATIC REVIEW 11 oooooooooooooooooooo o at tfce ^pe^ ^l^ent^ Jay Of Next WeeK's Attractions /In THE COLUMBIA Gillette's charming farce, Because She Loved Him So, is to remain for a second week at the Columbia, which theatre it is filling at every performance. The piece is at once one of the most amusing and delightfully sympathetic works brought out in years. Willie Collier is announced to follow. This season he is presenting the new piece, Mr. Smooth. He will be supported by a strong cast of comedians including among others Louise Allen Collier, George W. Parsons, John F. Ward, Alfred Hickman, Thomas Evans, Thomas Garrick, M. L. Heckert, Lawrence Sheehan, Helena Collier, Helen Reimer and Myrtle May. The advance sale of seats will begin Thursday morning. THE ORPHEUM The Orpheum offers an almost entirely new bill for next week, one of the strongest ever seen here. The program includes some of the biggest acts in the country. Walter Jones and Norma Whalley, who head the new bill, are two of the greatest stars that ever visited this Western country. Walter Jones is a good singer and a clever all around performer. Miss Whalley combines with talent and a beautiful voice great personal charms. The Sisters McCoy and Sam Marion are acrobatic dancers specially imported by the Orpheum management for this engagement. Weston and Yost are comedians, and W. C. Fields is an eccentric juggler. The Nielsen Sisters are vocal duettists. Holdovers: Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew; Howard Thurston; Flatow and Dunn and The Moorish Troupe of Acrobats. Matinees Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. THE GRAND The Girl from Paris will be given for the last time Sunday evening. Monday evening Offenbach's famous opera, The Grand Duchess, will be revived on a magnificent scale, the principal feature of which will be Edith Mason in the name part. This will be the remainder of the cast : Wanda, Hattie Belle Ladd; Eza, Ethel Strachan; Olga, Olive Vail; Amelie, Kate O'Neil; Prince Paul, Bessie Fairbairn; General Boom, William Wolff; Fritz, Thomas H. Persse; Baron Puck, Arthur Wooley; Baron Grog, Nace Bonville; Nepomuc, Winfred Goff. On April 1st the present company will have completed a year's season at the Grand Opera House and a week later they will say farewell. They are certainly entitled to the good will of the public for they have displayed the true spirit of artists in their various performances. El Capitan will follow The Grand Duchess. THE NEW ALHAMBRA One of the most sumptuous and elaborate productions presented to San Francisco theatre-goers this season will be that of The Three Musketeers, which opens tomorrow afternoon. The company is a large one and very strong. Manager E. D. Stair, under whose management the present tour is being made, introduces a new D'Artagnan in the person of Harry Glazier. He has youth, magnetism and fire. During his career he has played with such sterling stars as Lawrence Barrett, Thos. W. Keene, William Redmund, Stuart Robson and Katherine Kidder. He is strongly supported by such well-known artists as Warren F. Hill, John P. Barrett, Matthew McGinnis, Lawrence Underwood, Thos. B. Findlay, L. C. Ingraham, George C. Denton, Vail De Vernon, Blanche Stoddard and Maud Durand. Special attention has been given to the scenic effects. THE ALCAZAR Never Again, has three more performances to run, to night, to-morrow, Sunday matinee and evening. Beginning Monday evening for one week's run, the Alcazar management will present Diplomacy. This piece is most too well known to reiterate the story at this late day, everybody knows it to be a society drama of great strength and one which calls for a wealth of settings and wardrobe. Diplomacy is a cultured play for cultured people, and will be mounted and dressed to the present period of Parisian aristocracy. Aunt Jack is in preparation to follow. THE TIVOLI The Idol's Eye will enter next Monday evening on the tenth and last week of its remarkable career of success. The musical extravaganza, Manila Bound, will follow. Tuesday night the Tivoli will celebrate the seventy-fifth performance of The Idol's Eye, and the unique event will be celebrated by the introduction of many new songs, dances and jokes, while every one present in the audience will be presented with a handsome souvenir by the management. THE CALIFORNIA The California will present next week the ever delightful Mark Twain play, Puddin' Head Wilson, interpreted by the well-known actor, Burr Mcintosh, and a capable company. The play still draws as well as ever, and it remains today one of the most delightful of stage presentations.
