San Francisco dramatic review (1899)

THE SAN FRANCISCO DRAMATIC REVIEW July 9, 1910 Frazee is the Heaviest Loser of All ( )ne of the aftermaths of the Reno fireworks is the prospective loss of over $200,000 to H. H. Frazee. In *he event of Jeffries being returned i winner he was to make a world's theatrical tour in company with Gotch. Corbett and about eight other noted athletes. Ernest Shipman was selected by Frazee to pilot this aggregation across the seven seas on account of his past theatrical experiences in foreign countries. Choice of two propositions were agreed upon i Shipman was to receive a flat salary of $300 a week or half of this amount and 5 per cent of the net. Shipman would have preferred the latter proposition, as he figured that the returns would have been tremendous. Mcintosh, the Australian promoter, is figuring upon the same kind of a move with Johnson, and having him meet Langford in London. Burns in Paris and Bill Lang in Australia. Each of these fights to be for the world's championship, and conducted in conjunction with the theatrical tour. It is a great money-making proposition if carried out according to schedule. Mcintosh has benefited by Shipman's business acumen in the past, and offers to duplicate the Frazee offer, and while a warm friend and strong admirer of the Australian fight promoter, Shipman does not relish other features of the proposition and will decline, though it is patent that with three world's championship battles in the plan of things a big amount of nionev will be realized. Adelphi of London in Hands of Klaw & Erlanger Marc Klaw and Abraham Erlanger of Xew York have entered upon a gigantic invasion of the London theatre field. With Charles Frohman and George Edwards, they have acquired the famous old home of melodrama, the Adelphi Theatre, and will there produce American musical comedies, with an annual season of opera comique. In addition, arrangements have been completed with Oswald Stoll, manager of the London Hippodrome and brother-in-law of Erlanger, to secure or build another house for the production of huge American extravaganzas like Ben Hur. Mr. Klaw has been in London for several months studying the field with the utmost care. Mr. Klaw intimates that he will take as active interest in the English stage henceforth as does Charles Frohman It is his intention to form his opera comique company in New York and to make the New Amsterdam Theatre its home, but once a year he will bring the company, scenery and all to the Adelphi. While the' London season is on, his English companies will go to New York. The Adelphi is to be remodeled, and will be reopened in August by Lionel Monkton and J. L. Tanner. Cort Coming This Way John Cort, president of the National Theatre Owners' Association, has left New York on a trip through the West to look over his various theatrical interests in that part of the country. He will go direct to Seattle, where he will devote several days to the affairs of the Northwestern Theatrical Association. of which he is general manager. Then he will enjoy a brief vacation at Whisker Farm, his summer home near that city, prior to making the return trip, with stops at Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City. Denver and Chicago, in all of which cities he has extensive theatrical interests. He will also give some attention to his recently acquired purchases of interests in theatre properties in the Middle West. Cort will reach New York again in about four weeks, when he will begin operations on his various productions for the criming season. In addition to Mrs. Leslie Carter, whom he will present in a new play, and Max Figman, whose starring vehicle will be Mary Jane's Pa, he will have two big musical attractions, each of which will receive a \\ \\ York presentation early in the season. Marguerite Jarman, a young Los Angeles contralto, arrived home in that city recently after a year of success in grand opera in the East. Miss Jarman is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Z. H. Jarman, of Sixth Street and Burlington Avenue. The most of this year was spent with the Aborn Company, in which she was leading contralto, singing, with much success, Carmen, Amneris, Azucena and Maddalena, in Rigoletto. Miss Jarman is tall, splendidly proportioned and of a rare brunette type of beauty. She will lie in Los Angeles but a few weeks, as she has to hurry back to fill an extended concert engagement at Atlantic City, commencing July 31.
