July 7, 1900 THE SAN FRANCISCO DRAMATIC REVIEW ! Our friei^sTS^d I THEIR D0i8&g.-n*i> ^Tht Orpheum A N excellent program is on the boards at the Orpheum this week. Crowded houses nightly testify to the popularity of this vaudeville house. Carrington, Holland and Galpen are a good comedy and operatic trio, who receive their share of applause for excellent work. Gilbert andGoldie, the jolly comedians, are not a whit behind them either. Clayton White and Marie Stuart, assisted by Eva Randolph, present a short sketch, The Waldorf-Metropole Incidents, which receives merited applause, Miss Stuart being very clever and fascinating, a mimic of unusual powers and prowess. Musical Dale is indeed a versatile musical artist. The stars are, of course, the Four Cohans, who present this week, an incomparable comedy, Running for Office, which is received with shrieks of laughter and is altogether most enjoyable. The Quaker CityQuartet in their musical sketch, Fun in a Barber Shop, add very materially to the evening's fun, their music and sport being above the ordinary. The Todd-Judge Family give a great acrobatic performance, introducing some new features of skill and strength. Tfe Otympia The Olympia has a good Fourth of * July program this week. The Hungarian Orchestra, directed by Isadore Fenster, have some fine selections; particularly good are the Strauss Waltz. Vienna Temper and the Grand Overture, William Tell [Rossini.] Adelaide Sullivan is a singer of some ability and is heartily encored. Maud Darrell, the comedienne, is recalled for her jolly performance. Marcia Calaveras gives some of the very latest selections to delighted hearers. The beautiful Augusta Salvini, soprano comedienne, is quite ihe star of the evening. The Davenports, with their celebrated buck and wing dancing, make a decided hit. Signor Vargas with his magnificent barytone, fills the house with music. Carlton and Royce, the singing and dancing soubrettes, are still with us, as is Dora Mervin. It's the farewell week of George Trump, the greatest of all hand balancers. The Chutes A t THE Chutes this week a good program is on, Hadley and Hart, the Yacht Club musical stars make their first appearance in this city. This musical duo with their wonderful silver chimes and bells are the recipients of well merited applause. The Wilson family and their cute picka ninnies assisted by Miss Wiley present a new singing and dancing sketch which is thoroughly enjoyable. McDonald Bros., comedians, in an Irish sketch please with their knockout eccentricities. Belle Wilton sings acceptably a number of new descriptive songs. Dick Mark, the monologue comedian, is happy in his funny-grams this week. The new moving pictures are very enjoyable. Amateur night, as ever, proved a success. The Electric Fountain, too, is always such an object of interest. Fischer's Concert House Cischer's Concert House has a highly successful program this week. Miss Krma Wing, a Sacramento soprano, with a pure and well cultivated voice, was given a hearty welcome on her first appearance at this popular music house, singing the Page's Song from the Huguenots and the Last Rose of Summer. That she has dramatic ability was well shown in the marriage scene from Romeo and Juliet, in which she sang with Signor Abramoff and Isabelle Underwood. Master Norman Phillips is a great success with his Shakesperean readings, quite captivating the house. This talented boy comes from a dramatic family and will certainly be heard from in his maturer years. Little Melville Coakley, the child singer and impersonator, adds very materially to the evening's enjoyment. Miss Isabelle Underwood is very charming in her musical performance. The d'Estelle Sisters give some very pretty dances, Hinrich's Orchestra, as is ever the case, give a fine program, August Hinrich's solos being always a great drawing card.
