Arthur Arlington, a young gentleman
of large fortune, is engaged to marry a
very wealthy heiress named Belle Ashton.
Arthur, although a generous, noble-hearted
fellow, is badly addicted to the world's
gayety and, in" consequence, alter a few
years experience as a plunger on the race
course and bon-vivant, he finds himself a
financial wieck. 1! lie, hearing of his mis
fortune, like the rest of the worldly set,
turns her back upon him, breaks off the
match and immediately engages herself to
a Lord Asbbury Singleton, In this extremi-
I ty Arthur decided on becoming a soldier —
so he accepts the Queen's shilling from one
j Corporal Ginger, and is duly enrolled as
I a private for the wars in Flanders. Tliere
j is, however, a pretty little ballad-singer
i named Avice Morton, who. has long loved
| Arthur with a . pure unselfish love. Avice
follows Arthur to the wars and is instrumen
j tal in saving his life on several occasions.
j Disguised as a guardsman she performs
many daring deed s,f or which she is promoted
| to the command of a troop, in the mean
i time the Morton estate, which has been in
litigation, is awarded to Arthur and once
' more he is a wealthy man. Belle Ashton,
hearing of this, starts lust-haste to Flanders
and renews her engagement to Arthur, who
is uot aware of his good fortune. ' lie is ap
prised of it, however, later on, by an eccen
tric lawyer named Capitis. .Arthur returns
to England in order to take possession of his
new-found fortune and marry the worldly
minded Belle. Avice follows after the man
she has so long loved in secret. Preparation
are being made for the wedding of Ailhur
and Belle— when all is nearly complete,
Caplus, who has been investigating the affair,
declares the fact that the mis-ing heiress to
the Morton estate has been found and that
Arthur Arlington has no claim whatever
thereto. On hearing this Belle once more
betrays her sordid nature by declining, to
marry Arthur. The identity of Avice is re
vealed and Arlington is made happy in the
knowledge of her unselfish love for him.
The little ballad singer, the guardsman who
saved his life and Avice Morton the heiress
are one and the same person. "All is Well
that ends well."
Elaborate preparations are being made at
this theater for the production of the .spec
tacular opera, "The Wonderlul Lamp.' It
.will hold the stage during the holidays.
"V anil 1."
The title of this piece, a laughable comedy .
to be seen during the holidays at the
Xew Bush-street Theater, was derived
from the initial letters of the' names
of two of its leading characters—
Ungeiblatz, a German music-teacher,
and I ones, a retired contractor, respectively
portrayed by Gus Williams and John 'iv
Kelly, both old time favorites * here, and
who.no doubt, will be warmly welcomed.
diaries F. Walton, the tallest actor on the
American stage, will also be seen in this
piece in the character of a New York dude
with English proclivities. Florrie . West,
"the dancing sunbeam," will sing the latest
rage in the way of-'a soug at the London
music-halls. '.'lie Winked the Other Eye,"
and Miss Gertrude Zella, who is booked to
appear next season in grand opera at. Covent
Garden, London, will give us a specimen of
the qualities that led Augustus Harris to en
gage her for his company. The business of
"(.' and 1" takes place in a liouse with
French flats, the occupants of which become
involved in a tangle of difficulties. ". :
"The Colored Troops."
The forces under the command of W. S.
Cleveland hold the fort at the Bush-street
Theater the coming week, and then de
part toward the rising sun whence they
came, perhaps carrying the war into Africa
if the services ol Ilnnley and Pond can be
secured.' General Gottlob assures us that,
the colored troops are fortified with an
entirely new programme from first to finale,
new jokes, new songs and "new novelties,"
in the language of the small bills. Harry
* W. Seruon lias written a new song and
dance lor a "Big Four." called "The : Models
of Grace." The march will be omitted, ar.d
in itt place will be seen a giant clog, Tom .
Mcintosh guarantees "Merry Moments,"
and James A. Bland, a capable end man,
makes his bow to a San Francisco audience.
This special programme is brought out after
weeks of preparation, being especially de
signed to exhibit the organization nt its best.
Matinees will be given on Wednesday and
Saturday. "

One of His Failures.
Signor David tie Vivo*;* who has made many
splendid managerial successes in his time,
encounters, like other iinpresarli, a failure
occasionally. Mine. Alhaiza is one of the
latter. After waiting a while for the lady
to recover from a cold which marred the in
ception of her proposed concert season in
Xew York, he received recently from Ed
ward F. Birmingham, M. D., consulting
physician, a certificate to the effect that his
prima donna was suffering from serious
throat and rinse trouble, and required treat
ment that would occupy two months. This
settled the business. Be Vivo disbanded
his company, and if he reorganizes it will
doso with an American "Nightingale," 7
Miss Marie Decca, who has studied in l'aris
with Mine. Marches] and sang with great suc
cess in England under Colonel Mapleson's
management. De Vivo, who conducted
Mine. Pareoa-Rosa and Di Murska to fame
and fortune, feels very sore over the way
the New York critics treated Alhaiza, and
talks of reprisals. Perhaps he may. publish
a book. .
On the Lecture form.
* Mrs. Kendal faced a very interesting audi
ence nt the Brunswick Hotel, on Tuesday,
the. 18th inst., says the New York Dram
News, when she Ie tared before the Goethe
Society on "The Stage." .In the course. of
her remarks she said : .
"Some actors are born great, and some
actors have greatness thrust upon them.' I"
think I ought to Ik; classed in tin- latter cat
egory. On the diversions of a nation'- its
fate often depends, much more than on its
occupations. Why does not this apply to
its diversions as regards the stage?- Many
critics write of the actors and actresses now
long dead in a regretful way. They
seem to think that we have no artists such
as we used to listen to. The fact is that we
have in our ranks as great people as those'
sanctified by tradition, and we' surpass
them in some respects. As to "scenery, we
have many advantages over the stage iv
former years. Staging a play that is, the
mechanical presentation ot its possibilities-;
is a work of art. Over-elaboration, it is
said, is the fault of the stage of to-day.
There Is -only one rule to be followed with
regard to tho- working nut of ' a play on the
stage, and that is to follow nature. Much
has been said and written regarding the
recognition of actresses hi society. It is
supposed that actresses are held in con
tempt. That would have been true regarded
by the artificial standards of a past genera
tion. Now actresses go into society on their
own merits as artists or people worthy of
consideration from some other qualification.
ALL THE PROFESSION'S. * ..
"Besides the actors' profession seems to
be full, and even at that there seems to be an:
overdraft iv the direction of. the*, stage.
Many educated women are forced by their
surroundings to adopt the stage for a pro
fession. They are crowding toward the
stage, but with little. knowledge of its re
quirements and exertions. One of the first
requirements in a young woman about to go
on the stage is a thorough appreciation* of
the fact that there is such a thing as a pure
stage. A pure stage is always surrounded
by pure audiences.
" Regarding the deterioration of the stage,
T find that there is a general system moper r
atyii in this country by which actors and
actresses, of whatever rank, manage to keep
their names before the. public. The result
is that every little actor gets himself lauded,
whether he is worthy of it or not. As. to
criticism in ths newspapers, actors look
upon a good, honest criticism as a lesson,
aud they study it faithfully."' '.'.:'■;;- fl.
Fickle. '.Sarah..- y-y
It is reported that Mr. Abbey is likely to
have some trouble to induce Bernhardt to
fulfill her engagement and come to New
York to .play "Cleopatra" in February. • A
private letter says that the fickle Sarah lias
now conceived an idea of making a tour of
many before coining to America.' Mr.
' Abbey's contract with herls very stringent;
however, and as he is now in Paris he will
probably * find means to Induce his erratic

very uncomfortable for her.

Gladstone said: "It was a rare treat to
hear from your Italian lips the songs of my
own tongue rendered with a delicacy, of
modulation and fineness of utterance such
as no native in my hearing has ever reached
or even approached."- What on earth Sir.

| To-day is the -birthday of that veteran
actor and popular favorite, Walter M. Le
man, of whose long life, which has now
reached the high-water mark of '80' years,
nearly one-half has lieen spent in Califor
nia. Time was when the theater-goers of
this city considered no cast perfect unless
Mr. Leman's name appeared in it. As
member of -the famous California Theater
Company he received many plaudits that
echoed through the vast auditorium. In
recognition of these facts, and of Mr. Le
man's sterling qualities as a man, a patriot
and a benefactor of his kind, the ladies of
this city have tendered him a commemora
tive benefit. 'The committee under whose
patronage Mr. Leman's birthday festival
will be held, have arranged a brilliant and
varied literary and musical programme, in
which he will take part. .Among the many
good things hinted at is a. scene from "The
School for Scandal," with the beneficiary as
Sir Peter and Mrs. Frances B. Edgerton as
Lady Teazle.*- It would be absurd at this
late date to attempt', anything like a criti
cism of Mr. Leman as an actor; that verdict
was pronounced years ago, anl nothing cau
take. from him' his well-earned fame. •
"Yes," said Mr.'Leman to a representa
tive of TnE .Call' a few days ago, "I am
.getting to lie an.old man now.' On. the 30th
of November- I shall, if it please God, cele
brate my eightieth birthday, and 7 that alti
tude of year's looks back through* a- long vista'
of events. When 1 was hut a school-boy I
determined to be an actor; that is, I thought
I would rather bo an' actor than any thing
else. it was my delight to take part in the
School declamations, and candor' compels
me to slate the fact. that my elocutionary
■■■& v 17..:I 7 ..:-
'- :* -:;- > ' Walter _ lif. J^man. '■ • , ' j
efforts at that period were much more produc- ■
tive of amusement than of any other emotion
in my auditors. In my younger days I bad
reveled with lads of my own age in the gar
ret and cellar ''theatricals, which: have been
ever so. fascinating to youth. As with ac
tors of mature, growth, there was conten
tion for ' the best parts.- M especial fit
■ ness in my own 'eyes was for tragedy,
the more pronounced the better; and, if a
■tragic tyrant, the better still. Ata later pe
riod 1 felt highly aggrieved when niy teacher
selected as my theme for declamation Lu
cius' speech for peace while I particularly
wanted Sempronius'- speech for 'war. My
schooldays were passed at Brentford-Acad
emy under the direction of Benjamin Green
leaf, the eminent mathematician, and the
period of my. leaving school and entering the
theater seems' In. memory to be surrounded
with a- halo Of brightness which no after
time has ever- equaled," and the. good old
man paused, and his noble .countenance
'seemed illumined ny the light of other days.
--"I was only a store- Niv, to be sure," con
tinned Mr. Leman,- recalling, himself, to the;
listener, "but! lived in -.a realm of dreams,
bright with -anticipation's of a great future,
when I should : st my shell and be an
actor. Play-books, plny-bills, the- theater
pit or gallery, it .mattered not whichever
best suited my finances, absorbed all my.
spare time' and my .cash.. This growing
fondness for the theater highly displeased
my employer,' ahd one day matters were
brought to"a climax in this fashion : A friend'
of mine was a clerk In a neighboring store,,
whither 1 was sent 011 an errand. .The pro
prietor was out, 'and as I had been told to
await bis return, ray friend, the. clerk, who.
like myself, was stage-struck, suggested that
it would lie a good time to rehearse. It was
just betweeu the dusk and dark of a summer
evening, when few customers were abroad.
I gladly seconded his proposal, and'- in the
midst of a terrific duel with yard sticks I
chanced to glance toward the door, blocked,
as it is needless to say, with a crowd of
passers-by, who - had gathered to enjoy our
performance. Among them I saw the angry
face of my employer. Within a week 1 was.
tree to follow my theatrical bent .unham
pered by aiiy business engagements.
"My theatrical career began as call-boy
at the opening of the Tremont Theater in
1827, at a salary of S3 a week. Mv first ap
pearance was as Nicholas, one of the mob of
menials in the ' Taming of the Shrew.' I
believe I was as awkward as the. require
ments of the character called fur, and that
is saying a good deal.".
"In. your lime, Mr. Lemon, you must have
seen a great many changes take place iii
your profession/ suggested the reporter.
" You are right, I have. I remember the
building of the Bunker Hill Monument.: 1
recall the opening of many theaters now*
almost forgotten. I have played with many
actors of world-wide' fame, and oh, how
many, many have I followed to the grave,"
and his face saddened at the thought. "But.
1 love to think of them all ; what a collec
tion of talent and genius they represent
Among them 1 may name jnst a few—
Thomas A. Cooper, j; 11. Booth, Edwin
Forrest, John Howard Payne, Charles and
Fanny Kemble, James Sheridan Kn'owles,
Anna Bishop, Charlotte Cushuiah, Fanny
Elsler, J. E. Murdoch, the Seguiiw. Ma
cready, Kean, Mrs. Sinclair, Mrs.-Judah,
Lola Montcz, Sophie Edwin, Frank Mayo,
Barton Hill, Edwin Both, McKean Bu
chanan, the Florences, Julia Dean Il.iyne,
Agnes Booth, the Matidville sisters, Lotta,
Adah Isaacs Menken, the Thorncs, J. E.
Owens, John M.cCullougli— how* the names
and faces surge before my mental vision!
And then -there were those halcyon days at
the old California. Ah, those were
the times. to remember] You see, lam an
old Californian- myself. 1 left New York
for San Francisco in August, 1854, and al
though I have been away from San Fran
cisco at different times, and for some length
of days, 1 have never lost the . feeling that
the Golden State is my home."
Further conversation with Mr. Leman
disclosed the facts that lie had played in
nearly every theater that! has ever been
erected in California,, and in the leading
ones of the United States and Canada as
well. As a playwright his dramas were re
ceived with flattering success; most of them
.were of a stirring patriotic nature, and so
have been his poems for special occasions. -
When urged to give, his opinion on the
"starring question, Mr. Leman replied:
"Evenaseaily in the century as. when I
began* my . theatrical -career the starring
system had been . in vogue for many years,
but the * stars ' of that day far exceeded in
magnitude and effulgence most of the blink
ing luminaries of 10-diy. Every theater of
any importance had its permanent dramatic
corps, in which -the local favorites were
continued from season to season; this was
of mutual benefit to the actor nnd manager,
and changes were infrequent. ;', It was the
day .of established stock companies of
actors, not of traveling combination of per
formers. In those days the Stage was
profession. Theatrical advertising, did not
then run riot as now. . Kean and Cooke and*
the Kembles* and their compeers -were an
nounced to the - public. by^ three-sheet
posters not by 300 square leet of printers'
ink, with colored pictures to match, iv all
the hues of the rainbow." ■•'-.-•
--"When did I leave the stage? . Ah, well,
In the middle of October, 1809, 1 left the Pa
cific metropolis, playing in the cities of
Oakland,*. San , Jose, Stockton, Sacramento
and some others : also in Virginia City,
where Ada Cavendish joined us for a week,
and Frank Mayo for another, and return
ing homeward closed at the California The
ater my. -last engagement, and practically
terminated lin San Francisco a theatrical
. career . which commenced * fifty-two • years
and I four - months before . in Boston, Mass.
There have been since then . occasional re
newals, as for the.benefit of a charity, or to
Serve an old friend, or to assist lv the pro- I
duction of a new play, the last of -which *
occurred- in: February, 1880, at the .Bush
street Theater in Boucicault's comedy of 'The
Jilt' Oh Monday night the Ist of Decem
