In Dumas' ever popular "Camllle"
NancA O' Nell finds . ample opportunity of
displaying the emotional quality of her
art, and that sho has that quality In tho
high artistic aenso she proved last night
to a crowded and discriminating house.
Particularly forceful was she iu the in-
Grand Opora-Houoe.
The Theater Republics : Stock Company
produced Sydney Rosenfeld's comedy of
"His Absent Boy" last evening and it
went off very briBkly, with nothing to
mar or break the continuity of the fun
with which It Is liberally sprinkled. Harry
Corson Clarke as tho mipposltltlous parent
of the missing offspring did his usually
comic stunt In the situation* In which a
vivid imagination Involved him. Helen Mac*
Gregor assisted to sink him deeper In hli
woes in the character of his wife. George
De Long as Burney, Margaret Dale Owen
ns -Mrs. Burney, . James- Keano as Jack
Mnckaye, Virginia Brlssac as Ntta, Mabel
Wcrne 'as Mrs. Mackaye and Edmund
Brceae as Colonel Mdckaye were accom
plices In the fun. Some or tho- beat work
was done by Julia Walcott as Maggie,
tho servant.; No one is expected to toko
(inch a plot seriously. It m to laugh and
the audience enjoyed what was offered
Immensely. , ' ¦ '.' •'¦•*'
Republic.
Orpheum.
Nat M. Wills, the Happy Tramp and the
best all-round monologlst that has ever
appeared In this city, is at the Orpheum
this wet'k. He is the "headllner" of the
Orpheum road show that appears annu
ally at tho O'Farrell-street theater. He
Is entitled to the place, most of his gags
bring"" new and his manner of working
them extremely good. Every other .turn
on the programme is on a par with that
of Wills.
"Rudolph and Adolph," with their ex
ceedingly laughable farce, are continuing
to draw good houses at the California.
The play abounds with ludicrous situa
tions and one cannot help laughing at the
California.
-The farce comedy "Charley's Aunt"
commenced a two weeks' holiday run at
the Alcazar Theater- last night and from
the hilarious reception accorded It crowd*
fd houses can safely be predicted. Tho
situations are so mirth-provoklng and
come so naturally that one's risible facul
ties are kept in full play from the rise
to the fall of the curtain. The laughter
last night was /Incessant and hearty.
Frank Bacon as Lord Pan court Babber-
Icy, who Impersonates Charley's aunt,
was the center of attraction and gave an
exceedingly clover and racy character
izatlon of the part, keeping nicely within
the bounds of propriety. He Is possessed
of a rich fund of humor and understands
how to use it. Ernest Hastings and Al
bert Morrison as Jack Chesney and
Charles Wykeham, the two undergradu
ates, - were thoroughly enjoyable and
helped materially in piling . up the fun.
Henry flhumcr . aa - Colonol Sir Francis
Chesney and Thomas Kolrns aa Stephen
Spettigue were excellent. Miss Juliet
Crosby as Kitty" Verdun was convincing
and effective, while Agnes Ranken gave
a very pleading portrayal of Amy Spetti
gue. Miss Marie Howe was Donna Lucia
and played the part with dignity and
charm. Oza Waldrop ¦ was sweet and
charming as Ella Delahay.
Alcazar.
A large and fashionable audience listened
to the fine programme provided by Miss
Lillle Lawlor last night at StHnway Hall.
Tho singer was greeted with large enthu
siasm, and showed herself to be an artist
of distinction and with a charming voice.
M:ss Lawlor has also an exceptionally
handsome stage presence, and won all
pnsent by her charm of manner. Her
most successful number was the "Be
loved. It Is Morn," by Florence Aylward.
though she showed very happily her
strong dramatic sense In the "Ballade du
Doscspere." by Bomberg. Miss Lawlor
was assisted by the Mlnettl quartet,
which gave quartets by Dvorak and
Tschalkowsky t most successfully. Fred
Maurer accompanied with his usual am
ple taste.
The Lawlor 'Concert.
terview with the father of Armand Duval
in the third act, and in tne denouement
of the ballroom scene In the fourth. On
both occasions when the curtain was
lowered It was raised again and again in
response to the plaudits of the delighted
audience.
MUs O' Nell's support Is fairly good.
The Armand of Edward J. Ratcllffe Is
rather delicately Cockneyfled and so very
different from the part as plaved and
spoken by American actors that It Im
parts a novel chill along with the thrill
to the aitletlc nerves of the critic. His
denunciation of Camllle at the close of
the fourth act was his best bit of work
and was an excellent background for Miss
O'Neil's acting. Despite the fact that
Fred J. Butler looked like a real one
In the character of Monsieur Duval he
carried oft the part creditably and con
aclentlously. The play was staged with
great care and scenery and costumes were
true to chronology, so that the French
atmosphere pervaded It all.
Levl. and Robert Fischer Is stunning as
Callahan. a ward politician. The piece Is
excellently mounted, the first scene of the
auction shop, with Its varied Junk, being
highly realistic. The sale of seats is very
large. »
THERE was Just "Warflold" blaz
ing over the Columbia's front
door last night and indoors there
was Just Warfleld. too. In "The
Auctioneer." Twelve years a^o
Dave— now David— Warfleld left his na
tive city and he came bacK last night to
a welcomo that shook the rafters. It
mot him aa he first appeared, with a
bunch of cotton umbrellas "to mix vlth
the silk, ones" under one arm and a
"second-handed" Easter lily under the
other, coming flat-footed down tho worn
stairs of the old auction shop on the East
elde. But he could not be enticed Into a
speech. The first act's end was another
tumultuous moment, but not until the
close of the second act. when the catcalls
and whistling must have rather aston
ished the sedate walls of the Columbia,
did Mr. Warlleld respond to the noisy
demand. The f p«?ech was as tasteful and
perfect of Us kind as Warfleld'H Simon
Levl— than which no more need be said.
With a little catch In his breath and a
little glance up to the right-hand box,
where pretty Mrs. Warfleld— a little teary
—was Rllttng. tho actor said: "This Is
the night I have dreamed of for twelve
years, ever sinco I left here. I have
reached the height of my ambition, I'va
come home a star. Your welcome has
rather overwhelmed me, but I thank you,
thank you for It with all my heart."
Very truly has David Warfleld "come
home a star." One could foresco it even
from his method of coming home. Ho has
not been preceded by the usual syrupy
extracts from the "Arizona Kicker" and
the "Mllpltas Mall." Neither has his
shadow been ca3t by an autographed edl
. tlon of "The Auctioneer." Neither again
Is the Wardeld plcturo postal abroad in
the land "ho that you can notice it." It Is
by the sheer, subtle dominance of a per
sonality at once tine and strong, of a keen
intelligence, of a broad and tender sym
pathy with his kind, that Warfleld
marches straight to starhood.
One hardly knows how much Belasco
there Is in "The Auctioneer," a play
credited to L«e Arthur and Charles Klein,
but it fits the Warfleld personality to a"
hair in Its chief role. Almost as little as
the frame of a picture the rest of the
play matters.
H Is full of incident, much of It super
fluous to the weaving of the story, yet
»!i of touching new facets In the charac
ter of the East Side auctioneer. Poverty,
long years of it, courageously borne, then
a sudden accession of wealth, and again
a fall Into deepest penury is the story
of Simon Ijevl. It is told by Wartleld
with a flncsse, distinction, truth, pathos,
humor, that make the picture stand out
like a Dickens portrait. Your laugh is
not well on your lips until he has you
with that queer little strangle In your
throat that would mean tears if he did
not have you chortling again the next
second.
The character Is painted in full light
and shado and not a tint lost between.
All the queer g-uHelessness and shrewd
ness combined, the deep family affection,
the childish delight . in splendor and
flno courage In alllictlon that mark the
poor Hebrew of Levl's class, are here in
their fullness. By actor and author alike
there is displayed a flno reserve in the
treatment of the character. It is emi
nently character art as opposed * to the
Hebrew' caricature one is so Joylessly fa
miliar with, and as such Is delightfully
refreshing. Simon Lev! In now to the
rtnge, but while thcro 1h a David War-
Held he will always be most* welcome.
Marie Eagan, of the rest of the cast,
is a beautiful Hibernian lady, just as
delicately . and I humorously handled I as is
Warneld's Levl. No one else matters
much to . the story, but Maria Davis Is
sympathetic and very human as Mrs.

The hearts of young and old are being

Ing last night at this popular playhouse.
Not since tho old Woodward's Gardens
days has this rendition of the histories

dience was highly pleased at the wealth
of beautiful scenery, electrical effects
and bewildering transformation scenes

great expense to present.

"Jack and the Beanstalk," the TivoU's

a very large audience last night and every
one of the hundred -musical and Jiumorous
specialties was encored again and again.
The piece Is crowded full of fun to begin
with, and when Hartman, Webb, Cunning
ham and Annie Myers have all joined in
to help the thing along their hearers can
n'ever so ¦ home with painless . sides. Th<^
songs are all new. The Jokes, of which
there' are many, are fresh and local. The
chorus Is excellent and unusually . full of
life. The cow, whose career Is guided by
Conlan. and Ryder, makes all manner of
lun. Little Cecil Cowles sings a very
pretty song, to follow which for encores
she has two others. She sang all three
last night and the audience quite enthu
siastically and at length applauded for
more. Others of the cast who did splen

Three small boys who are well known
to the police enacted the role of footpads
Ic Golden Gate Park Sunday afternoon
in the most approved fashion, their victim
being another small boy who was walking
through the park with a boy friend. The
footpads are Frank MuKaney. 1* >vars of

Judtre Kritz yesterday and the cases were
continued till this morning to see if Mul

Frank Jacobs. 10 years of age. who
came from Chicago on a visit to his un
cle, who lives at 1170 McAllister street,
•was walking in the park gunday after
noon with Frank Fllttner. a smaller boy,
when Mullaney. Wadleigh and Blackman,
who were riding bicycles, stopped them
find Mullaney asked Jacobs for a dime.
Jacobs pulled some money out of his
pocket to hand Mullaney a dime, and
Mullaney noticed a live-dollar gold piece
amonc the silver. Mullaney promptly
knocked Jacobs down and held his cap
oner his face to prevent him from caillng
for help, while one of the other boys took
ine five-dollar gold piece from him. The
trio of footpads then jumped on their
wheels and rode away.
When Jacobs returned to his uncle's
buttse he told him of the robbery and the
i.ncle notified the police. Policeman W.
D. Scott, who is attached to the Boys'
and Girls* Aid Society, was detailed on
the case, and about midnight he found
the trio in a restaurant at Third and Ste
vcrson streets. He took them to the City
J'rison and booked them for a public in
stitution. They admitted taking the gold
piece from Jacobs, and said that after
taking the bicycles back to Fourth street
they had a dinner in a restaurant and
vent out to the Chutes. Returning from
the Chutes they went to the restaurant
a i Third and Stevenson streets and had
ji;st finished" supper when Scott appeared.
They have- l»et?n several times sent to the
Boy*.' and Girls' Aid Society, but have
sucreeJed in making their escape each
time.

The ordinance prohibiting the sale of
theater or opera tickets at any place ex
cept the office of the management of the
theater and nxlng the license for ticket
IK-ddlers at $300 per month was passed
to print yesterday by the Board of Su
pervisors.
The ordinance was introduced at the re
quest of the Allied Theatrical Managers
ot this city, who declare that the busi
ness of ticket speculating has grown to
alarming proportions, much to the in
convenience of the public, which is over
charged for the tickets it buys.
Charles Ackerman, representing the. pe
titioners, said that ticket speculators are
not engaged in a legitimate business, as
they obstruct the sidewalks and Inter
cept theater-goers who are on the way to
buy tickets at the office. Ackerman said
it was the duty of the Supervisors to
protect the public, for if the license was
not increased It would result in the
raising of prices at the theaters in or
der to drive the speculators out of busi-
Attorney W\ P. Johnson, representing
the speculators, argued that their busi
ness was a convenience to the public, and
referred to a petition signed by flfty
thiee citizens that the license be not in
creased. Johnson claimed that the Su
pervisors had not the power to impose
a prohibitive license on any business.
Supervisor Curtis held that ticket spec
ulating was an evil, and should be
abated.
"If a license of J300 monthly is not suf
ficient to abolish the practice." said Cur
tis, "then we should make it 5500 or S10O0
per month. It is not right that men who
have built up a legitimate business should
bo hampered by speculators to the detri
ment of that business."
Brandenstein held that men who had
hundreds of thousands of dollars invest
ed in the amusement business were en
titled to the benefit of a burdensome II
ccwe on ticket speculators.
"Ticket speculating is an illegitimate
business." said Brandenstein, "and an
increased license will correct the evil and
should be imposed."
The Spring Valley Water Works was
duected by the board to furnish a de
tailed statement of its operating expenses
for the year commencing July 1, 1901,
and ending June 30. 1902; for the year end
ing December 31. 1902. and for the six
months ending December SI, 1902. The
statements must include the amounts of
salaries or wages of each of its em
ployes, the amount paid for advertising
and to whom, the amount paid for coun
sel fees and to whom, and the amount
paid for commissions and to whom.
Child Stealer Is Held.
Frank Parkes was held to answer be
fore the Superior Court by Police Judge
<"abaniss yesterday on a charge of child
stealing in MOOO bonds or $2000 cash.
Parkes left the city on December 9 with
Tessie Norton, daughter of Malachi Nor
ton. S-Cl Twenty-second street, and took
her to Stockton and then to BakersSeld,
where he was arrested.
