EVELYN VAUGHAN IN MAXINE'S ROLE THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY. APRIL 10, 1910 New Dramatic Offerings and Gossip Miss Izetta Jewell Pays Preity Tribute to Actor Who Discovered Her Principals in "Your Humble Servant" Discuss the Play and Their Roles "And 1 would say," interposed Miss Jewell, "that it was very easy for Margaret, the ward, to mistake the romantic lore of her guardian for the affection of a father such as he had been to her. and that this primary ele- u<ent of the plot is quite right. Any pirl might not have known that Towers was In really, truly Jove with her." ""Tliere you have it." said Skinner. "Have what?" said I. "The woman gets the last word in, as usual." "I'd say. however, that I'm happy to have met Towers, and even if .the vehicle is a little creaking in the wheels, the voice of truth is not ob- Bcured/T "What's the use of my saying anj-- tbing in reply to that remark?? tie answered, good naturedly, "for you ;vre bound to have the last word. If I thought you'd publish it," he continued. "1 don't tliink I'd care to see you dressed up :is a rooster, anyway." said I. "I think I- even prefer Lafayette Towers." IT is not often that the wheels of the j theatrical machinery revolve so»i regularly as to return a star just oiv I year, almost to the very day, to the ciCy | of his previous visit; but it is just a >'< % ar since Oils Skinner came to San Francisco in "The Honor of the Famity"' and electrified us :<ll with hjs startling i characterization of Bridau. the scatly- j ivus of Balzac's story. On his next! return lie expect*! to present us with still another new drama, which he says is now in the making, for. he says, "ft In by no means certain that 1 shall ac- cept the role of the Chanticleer in Rostaad's new fantastic play. The eastern reports seem to have settled a' matter which is by no means in an affirmative state at this time." president of a new society called the Adopted Daughters of the Golden "West," slie said, firmly. ! * * * Every one can heartily relish the bubbling fun of "The Chaperon," be- cause it is clean fun, and the well mannered and weir tailored characters will convey to Alcazar patrons a re- freshing change from the squalor of "Salvation Nell." Evelyn Vaughan will have the part*- created by Miss Elliott, John Ince will play the hero, Howard Ilickma.n the count, and all the other favorites will be equally well bestowed. Each of the three acts calls for an elaborate and picturesque set- ting, which the Alcazar artists and me- chanics can be depended upon to con- struct with the best possible view to scenic effectiveness. Its locale is in the Adirondaeks, among an exclusive colony of New Yorkers. The heroine. Madge, arrives after a brief and unpleasant mat- rimonial experience with Count Van Tuyle, an Austrian, whom she had married in pique because of the refusal of '.her ; sweetheart, "Jim Ogden, to wed a maiden so much more opulent than himself. When the play begins she has instituted/pro- ceedings for divorce, and the count has followed her to America, and in the mountain colony the woman and the two \u25a0 men are brought together. Some very amusing complications ensue. Madge is chaperoning a lot of young girls and their " college boy swains keep her ve.ry busy preventing flirta- tion. An almost farcically funny situ- tion is In the second act, where at early dawn and \ Jim, in evening clothes, are discovered as the sole in- habitants of a little island upon which they were stranded the previous night while boating. There they are found by the jealous and mercenary count, and while he is quarreling with Jim his wife steals his canoe and glides away, leaving the two men to settle their dispute. But while its leading character, a wealthy young American countess, is most conspicuously in evidence and runs the gamut of the emotions, from girlish drollery to almost tragic se- riousness, "The Chaperon" is not by any means a one part play. ' It is a comedy that puts every one in the cast on his mettle. \u25a0 "The Chaperon," which is to be given its first western representation tomor- row evening in the Alcazar, was writ- ten by Marian' Fairfax to serve as a starring vehicle for Maxine Elliott, and so, favorably was "the famous actress impressed by it that' she utilized it to open her o V'n New York theater, where it had a lorij: run. Alcazar Will Stage "Chaperon," in Which Pretty Miss ' ' EHiott Was Starred RUSSIAN SINGERS AND DANCERS AT NATIONAL Ale.vandorff Troupe Leads on the New Program OTIS SKINNER IS ADMIRABLE ACTOR The four "Tossing Lavelles" are loaders among all acrobats. They are declared by critics to have no peers among any of the Acts now in the business. England's farceurs. Helm and Cozens, will present "The Doctor a-yi the Patient." whioh is said to be vrry amusing:. Helen Carmen. "The Girl With th** Contagious Smile." is another strong card, i^he lias a reper- toire of winning melodies and sings them with charming voice and manner; The Oarlton Sisters, a dainty duo of dancers, will I>p an attractive number r.;i the program. As usual, there will be a. new supply of motion pictures. Poster and l'oster bring thoir clover musical act. entitled "The Volunteer Pianist." One of the brothers is pos- sessed of a sp!<ridi<l barytone voice. wliilA i)\f> other is an eccentric pianist. For the coming week the Aloxan- tiorST troupe of Imperial mission dancers Hnd singers lias beea secured to h^ad I'.ie new bill at the National. This « ompany is making' a Special tour of t'io Sullivan & Considine circuit, and (luring their offering will correctly pre- sent the leading native datu-es and j-ongs of their country, all of which are unique and entertaining. POST AND BEAUTY AT THE AMERICAN AUNT MARY IS A QUAINT OLD LADY The vaudeville portion of the bill includes "The Bachelor Club," presented by a east of five clever actors; Tony Castellane and brother, sensational trick cyclists; Billy Morris and the Sherwood sisters in a singing and dancing act, "In Dixie Land"; Den- ton and Le Boef, comedy bar acro- bats, and Davey and j Everson, "ma- nipulators of melody," The biograph will project new and interesting pic- tures on the screen. There will be the regular professional tryouts after the regular performance on Tuesday evening, and the amateurs will appear Thursday night. Jack Golden's musical comedy com- pany'begins an extended engagement today. The organization includes a big cast of principals and a dashing chorus of pretty girls. Pearl Hickman. who was a great favorite at the old Chutes, has been engaged for the company. Golden is a well known producer, and his initial offering will be "The Two Kings," a miniature musical comedy in one act. A npw and direct main entrance to the Chutes theater will be thrown open for the first time this afternoon. It is located in Eddy street, east of Fillmore, for those who do not wish to pass through the Chutes grounds. They may get their reserved seats and pass into the theater direct from the street. At the conclusion of the per- formance they may then pass into the grounds without extra charge. Entrance to Playhouse May Be Made in Eddy Street CHUTES SHOWS NEW WAY TO THE THEATER For the second week of the engage- ment the lectures will be on old Japan and on Java. On Tuesday afternoon of this week "Hawaii" will be the sub- ject at the Liberty playhouse in Oak- land and on Friday afternoon at the fame place "Japan" will be the theme. Holmes is one of the keenest pyd of all travelers. He sees the interest- ing and the unusual and he gets them into his Ipctures and into his pictures. He nevFr fails to interest and the lec- tures which will be presented this sea- son promise to be the best of any yet heard here. The travelogue* arnica Burton Holmes' lecturer will deliver during the- forthcoming season will be "H;i- \u25a0\vaii" next Monday and Tuesday even- ings and Wednesday afternoon; "New Japan" Thursday and Friday evenings and Saturday matinee. Th^se intensely interesting travelogues will bo given ut the GarrU-k theatrr and will be illus- trated by moving pictures of out of the way places. HOLMES' TRAVELOGUES AT GARRICK THEATER Dramatic Notes Among the vaudeville features will be the debut of Sandy Rothenberg. who has taken for his professional title Sandy Roth. Billy Miller an.l Miss Flo Russell will present a comic odd- ity. "Tlio Lunatic and the Girl." Miss Abnie Mitchell, a dalightful vocalist; Aver Brothers, "kings 'of the air," and Howard and Howard, in a talking act, will, with new moving pictures, com- plete the program. It promises to be a jolly week at the American, where .la.mes Post and a musical coniedy company open this aft- ernoon at the head of a vaudeville bill. Post has been engaged by the manage- ment to present himself and support- ing comedians and pretty chorus girls in a series of brief musical comedies. His first offering will be "The Walking Delegate." Assisting him will b<? 2Hiss Thornhill. Millar Bacon, Al BrotviK*, May Ashley and Florence Grusl in the leading roles. Well Known Comedian and Comely Girls Head the Bill Person! and Halliday, in their Japa- nese playlet, called "Won by Wireless.'' are also to appear, and Ralph White- head* will make his appearance in a clever character singing act. - "Noodles"' Fagan. the world famous newsboy, will offer his unique talking act in the presentation of which he has been a headliner on prominent eastern vaudeville bills. v One of the striking features of the act performed by the Schiavoni troupe of acrobats is the balancing on her arms, by one of the members of the troupe, of two men while they perform somersaults. 5 The tliree singing girls are said to offer a pleasing lyric pro- gram. Three especially strong features will be included in the new bill to be of- fered for the first time this afternoon at the Wigwam theater. Pelham, the hypnotist-scientist; "Noodles" Fagan and the Schiavonl troupe are a trio of high priced numbers. ' Pelham has been creating wonderment and fun on tour of the east and Europe and comes here with an act of hypnotism quite out of the usual run of that class of vaude- ville entertainment. The scientist has announced his intention to perform an entirely new and unequaled feat com- mencing with the matinee today and has challenged any and all scientists to duplicate the stunt. THREE FEATURE ACTS PROMISED AT WIGWAM Grace George and her company ap- pearing in "A Woman's Way" have left for the Pacific coast after a most suc- cessful tour* of the principal eastern cities. Miss George will play a two weeks' engagement at the Columbia theater' early in May. " "Tbe Rejuvenation^ of Aunt Mary" tells a story of a rich old maiden lady, whoso one romance is far in the past, but who has remained faithful to an ideal. However, her heart is wrapped up in a nephew whose college escapades are her torment and .'despair. He becomes involved in a serious scrape and is likely to figure Tin a breach, of promise oas.?, although, as events de- velop, it is learned that he Is innocent of evil. TJio aunt, hearing of the af- fair, and believing in its reality, dis- inherits the lad, and he goes away to New York. Thithor Aunt Mary "fol- lows, and afterward takes the big hearted, impetuous youth to her heart and back into her will again. The "re- juvenation"; of Aunt- Mary comes in when for the first tfme in many years she returns to New York and encoun- ters the complex life in the big me- tropolis and is "rejuvenated." In "The Rejuvenation of Aunt Maryft which is the offering at the Van Ness theater tomorrow nipht. May Ilobson lias found a star role that has madeJier fahious as a comedienne and as ' a quaint character actress. For three years she has been tourins the coun- try, in this comedy, which w«is drama- tized from a magazine story written by Anne Warner and published several years ago. May RGbson's Comedy From Anne Warner's Story Comes to the Van I^ess Particularly worthy of mention is the comedy wodk of Edward Fielding' as the wealthy aristocrat, habitually un- der the influence'of. intoxicants. "Your Hufhble Servant" deals in a fascinating way with the sentimental adventures of a barn storming actor, Lafayette Towers, most of whose pro- fessional life is divided between tour- ing through the "tank towns" and de- vising ways and means to keep his costume and siienery out of the hands of the sheriff. Lafayette Towers has all the characteristics- of^ a genuine being of his class. Skinner revels in the part and plays it ilawlessly. Al- though he dominates the play from:the rise to the fall of the curtain, the impersonations of his associates are all keyed to the right artistic pitch. Miss Izetta Jewel, who is well remem- bered here for her previous clever work, is particularly sympathetic .as the heroine. Margaret Druce. She di- vides honors -with the star, who has exnressed himself as heartily pleased with the cordial reception she has had. from San Francisco playgoers. At the Wednesday matinee a reduced scale of prices prevails, and the best seats in Die orchestra are obtainable for $1.50. The Columbia theater has held au- diences of goodly size the past week, and Skinner's stay, which is limited to eigrht more performances, will doubt- less receive the deserved tribute of liberal patronage. The final perform- ance occurs Saturday night, April 15. Otis Skinner, -who Wan admirable actor in every part he undertakes, is delighting: his admirers in this city by his splendid portrait of the barn- storming actor in "Your Humble Ser- vant."

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY. APRIL 10, 1910

New Dramatic Offerings and Gossip

Miss Izetta Jewell Pays PreityTribute to Actor Who

Discovered Her

Principals in "Your HumbleServant" Discuss the Play

and Their Roles

"And 1 would say," interposed MissJewell, "that it was very easy forMargaret, the ward, to mistake theromantic lore of her guardian for theaffection of a father such as he hadbeen to her. and that this primary ele-u<ent of the plot is quite right. Anypirl might not have known that Towerswas In really, truly Jove with her."

""Tliere you have it." said Skinner."Have what?" said I."The woman gets the last word in, as

usual."

"I'd say. however, that I'm happy to

have met Towers, and even if .thevehicle is a little creaking in thewheels, the voice of truth is not ob-Bcured/T

"What's the use of my saying anj--tbing in reply to that remark?? tieanswered, good naturedly, "for you ;vrebound to have the last word. If Ithought you'd publish it," he continued.

"1 don't tliink I'd care to see youdressed up :is a rooster, anyway." saidI. "I think I-even prefer LafayetteTowers."

IT is not often that the wheels of the jtheatrical machinery revolve so»iregularly as to return a star just oivI

year, almost to the very day, to the ciCy |

of his previous visit; but it is just a>'< %ar since Oils Skinner came to SanFrancisco in "The Honor of the Famity"'and electrified us :<ll with hjs startling icharacterization of Bridau. the scatly- jivus of Balzac's story. On his next!return lie expect*! to present us withstill another new drama, which he saysis now in the making, for. he says, "ftIn by no means certain that 1 shall ac-cept the role of the Chanticleer inRostaad's new fantastic play. Theeastern reports seem to have settled a'matter which is by no means in anaffirmative state at this time."

president of a new society called theAdopted Daughters of the Golden"West," slie said, firmly. !* * *

Every one can heartily relish thebubbling fun of "The Chaperon," be-cause it is clean fun, and the wellmannered and weir tailored characterswill convey to Alcazar patrons a re-freshing change from the squalor of"Salvation Nell." Evelyn Vaughanwill have the part*- created by MissElliott, John Ince will play the hero,Howard Ilickma.n the count, and all theother favorites will be equally wellbestowed. Each of the three acts callsfor an elaborate and picturesque set-ting, which the Alcazar artists and me-chanics can be depended upon to con-struct with the best possible view toscenic effectiveness.

Its locale is in the Adirondaeks,among an exclusive colony of NewYorkers. The heroine. Madge, arrivesafter a brief and unpleasant mat-rimonial experience with Count VanTuyle, an Austrian, whom she hadmarried in pique because of therefusal of '.her ; sweetheart, "JimOgden, to wed a maiden so muchmore opulent than himself. Whenthe play begins she has instituted/pro-ceedings for divorce, and the count hasfollowed her to America, and in themountain colony the woman and thetwo \u25a0 men are brought together. Somevery amusing complications ensue.Madge is chaperoning a lot of younggirls and their

"college boy swainskeep her ve.ry busy preventing flirta-tion. An almost farcically funny situ-tion is In the second act, where at earlydawn and \ Jim, in eveningclothes, are discovered as the sole in-habitants of a little island upon whichthey were stranded the previous nightwhile boating. There they are foundby the jealous and mercenary count,and while he is quarreling with Jimhis wife steals his canoe and glidesaway, leaving the two men to settletheir dispute.

But while its leading character, awealthy young American countess, ismost conspicuously in evidence andruns the gamut of the emotions, fromgirlish drollery to almost tragic se-riousness, "The Chaperon" is not byany means a one part play.

'It is a

comedy that puts every one in the caston his mettle.

\u25a0 "The Chaperon," which is to be givenits first western representation tomor-row evening in the Alcazar, was writ-ten by Marian' Fairfax to serve as astarring vehicle for Maxine Elliott, andso, favorably was"the famous actressimpressed by it that' she utilized it toopen her o V'n New York theater, whereit had a lorij: run.

-

"Noodles"' Fagan. the world famousnewsboy, will offer his unique talkingact in the presentation of which he hasbeen a headliner on prominent easternvaudeville bills. v

One of the striking features of theact performed by the Schiavoni troupeof acrobats is the balancing on herarms, by one of the members of thetroupe, of two men while they performsomersaults. 5 The tliree singing girlsare said to offer a pleasing lyric pro-gram.

Three especially strong features willbe included in the new bill to be of-fered for the first time this afternoonat the Wigwam theater. Pelham, thehypnotist-scientist; "Noodles" Faganand the Schiavonl troupe are a trio ofhigh priced numbers.

"Tbe Rejuvenation^ of Aunt Mary"tells a story of a rich old maidenlady, whoso one romance is far in thepast, but who has remained faithfulto an ideal. However, her heart iswrapped up in a nephew whose collegeescapades are her torment and .'despair.He becomes involved in a serious scrapeand is likely to figure Tin a breach, ofpromise oas.?, although, as events de-velop, it is learned that he Is innocentof evil. TJio aunt, hearing of the af-fair, and believing in its reality, dis-inherits the lad, and he goes away toNew York. Thithor Aunt Mary "fol-lows, and afterward takes the bighearted, impetuous youth to her heartand back into her willagain. The "re-juvenation"; of Aunt- Mary comes inwhen for the first tfme in many yearsshe returns to New York and encoun-ters the complex life in the big me-tropolis and is "rejuvenated."

In "The Rejuvenation of Aunt Maryftwhich is the offering at the Van Nesstheater tomorrow nipht. May Ilobsonlias found a star role that has madeJierfahious as a comedienne and as

'a

quaint character actress. For threeyears she has been tourins the coun-try,in this comedy, which w«is drama-tized from a magazine story written byAnne Warner and published severalyears ago.

May RGbson's Comedy FromAnne Warner's Story Comes

to the Van I^ess

Particularly worthy of mention is thecomedy wodk of Edward Fielding' asthe wealthy aristocrat, habitually un-der the influence'of. intoxicants.

"Your Hufhble Servant" deals in afascinating way with the sentimentaladventures of a barn storming actor,Lafayette Towers, most of whose pro-fessional life is divided between tour-ing through the "tank towns" and de-vising ways and means to keep hiscostume and siienery out of the handsof the sheriff. Lafayette Towers hasall the characteristics- of^ a genuinebeing of his class. Skinner revels inthe part and plays it ilawlessly. Al-though he dominates the play from:therise to the fall of the curtain, theimpersonations of his associates areall keyed to the right artistic pitch.Miss Izetta Jewel, who is well remem-bered here for her previous cleverwork, is particularly sympathetic .asthe heroine. Margaret Druce. She di-vides honors -with the star, who hasexnressed himself as heartily pleasedwith the cordial reception she hashad. from San Francisco playgoers.

At the Wednesday matinee a reducedscale of prices prevails, and the bestseats in Die orchestra are obtainablefor $1.50.

The Columbia theater has held au-diences of goodly size the past week,and Skinner's stay, which is limitedto eigrht more performances, willdoubt-less receive the deserved tribute ofliberal patronage. The final perform-ance occurs Saturday night, April15.

Otis Skinner, -who Wan admirableactor in every part he undertakes, isdelighting: his admirers in this cityby his splendid portrait of the barn-storming actor in "Your Humble Ser-vant."
