San Francisco dramatic review (1899)

April 21, 1900 11 Of Next Week's Attractions THE COLUMBIA Ward and Voices, who are best remembered for their amusing production of A Run On the Bank, are coming to the Columbia Theatre for two weeks, opening Monday, April 23, with their musical farce review, The Floor Walkers. This means that the patrons of the Columbia are to see an entertainment made up exclusively of nonsense, music, singing and fun presented by a company of forty people with the most costly scenic and costume accessories ever carried by a similar organization. The special sale of prices, 25 cts., 35 cts., 50 cts., 75 cts. and $1 will prevail. THE ALCAZAR Quo Vadis, during its Alcazaran run, has been seen by thousands of people, in fact a greater number by two-fold than has ever congregated within that pretty play house in the given time. Quo Vadis, with spectacular embellishments of the most gorgeous type and animated by some sixty people, is a play which surely ranks high in the contemporaneous drama. It is strong in plot and effectve in dialogue, and in it scope is given for the display of historic talent of some thirty speaking characters. Quo Vadis will continue another week at the Alcazar, which will positively be its last, and Sue, a beautiful play of early days in California, will follow. THE GRAND The theatrical sensation of this week is undoubtedly David Henderson's famous extravaganza, An Arabian Girl, or, AH Baba and the Forty Thieves, in which Mr. Morosco introduces his specially engaged New York Company. Every night the Grand is packed to the doors and the standing room sign is conspicuously visible. The scene on the occasion of their first appearance on Sunday evening was most remarkable. The theatre contained the largest number of people it has ever held, and the enthusiasm was extraordinary. We have not space to go into detail on the merits of the performance. Suffice to say that the company achieved an individual, collective and unqualified success, and that the production is the most rich and beautiful ever presented in this city. Scenery, costumes, ballets, marches and transformation dazzle the eye with their brilliancy and superb harmony of colors. That an Arabian Girl will run for many weeks to come to crowded houses may be regarded as a certainty. We honestly commend it to our readers as worthy of their patronage, and call attention to the fact that there will be matinees Satur day and Sunday, on both of which occasions a good reserved seat will be obtainable in the orchestra for 25 cents. THE ORPHEUM The new bill at the Orpheum promises to be one of the best on record. Last week's bill was acknowledged to be one of the best in months, but the new one will be even better. The Hopkins' Transoceanic Vaudeville Company will enter on its second and last week with an entirely new program. Chief of the newcomers is Digby Bell the famous comedian. He comes here in a new role. Since entering vaudeville he has made an enviable name for himself as a monologist. Mildred Stoller is a pretty comedienne. Rae and Brosche will present a skit. Too Much Woman, which is said to be one of the cleverest productions of years. Mile. Proto is a world famous toe dancer. She has been brought here specially for this engagement. The holdovers are: Mile. Marzella and her wonderful performing birds; Guitanos; Falke and Semon; A. O. Duncan and Bellman and Moore. Matinees Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. THE TIVOLI The Tivoli Opera House scored a big success this week with The Wizard of the Nile. The many thousands who saw the work of the Tivoli Company in The Idol's Eye are evidently eager to see what the company can do with The Wizard of the Nile. The comic opera has crowded the theatre this week, and already for next week the advance sale of seats is reported (.0 be large. Nothing more complete in the way of stage pictures has ever been seen in this city than the series of glowing Egyptian episodes which are nightly to be seen on the Tivoli's stage. To those who like lots of fun, there is plenty of it at the Tivoli, while lovers of music will find in The Wizard of the Nile some of the most dainty and pleasing work ever achieved by Victor Herbert. FISCHER'S La Traviata is the opera selected as the closing feature of the bill at Fischer's Concert House for the ensuing week. Miss Lillian Sherwood, one of San Francisco's many beautiful women will make her debut, and the bill abounds in numbers, orchestral and vocal, that are arranged to suit all tastes. The last act of Rigolleto is in preparation for the following week, and will be presented as the feature with Signor Abramoff, who is well known to the music loving public of San Francisco, as Sparfucelli. The last act of Faust will also be presented with Signor Abramoff as Mephisto.
