SCENES FROM TWO OFFER INGS FOR THE WEEK, AND TWO FAVORITES. The Central Theater scored a hit last night with its special Grand Army week attraction, "Cumberland, '61," a thrilling military play based ; on incidents of the Civil War. The house was crowded and in the audience many gray haired, blue coated veterans were in , evidence. The play is patriotic and the plot replete with dramatic power, while . _ the climaxes arouse the audience to enthusiasm. The scenery of "Cumberland, '61" is pictu resque, giving views .of West Point on the Hudson and of the grand and rugged mountains of old Kentucky. The orches tral music too, is a feature, . all the American natrlotic airs and the battle marches of North and. South being ren dered.

Chairs had to be provided for the over flow at Fischer's Theater last night and many had to be turned away. The doublo bill, "Quo Vass Iss" and "The Big Little Princess," continues a potent attraction and the funmakers, Kolb, Dill, Bernard, Blake and Hermsen, are, if anything, fun nier than ever, especially In "The Big Little Princess." Bernard as the school mistress is inimitable and his song, "Mrs. Plnchln's Boarding School." had to be re peated several times. Miss Maude Amber Is very charming 'as Sarah Crude, the fa vorite pupil, and her song, "De Bugaboo Man," is exquisitely rendered. .Blake and Dill are very funny In their nursery rhymes. Flossie Hope and Gertie Emer son, with their twinkling feet, are not the least attractive feature of the show. They have a coon song and dance, "You Am De One," and it delighted the audience. Miss •Eleanor Jenkins sings "There's Nobody Just Like You" in "Quo Vass Iss" very sweetly. The choruses are well rendered and the Indian dance is full of grace and charm. i Fischer's. LONDON, ' Aug. IS.— Fourteen strikers were killed and 100 to 1J2. wounded in a military onslaught which occurred In tha vicinity of Kleff as late as August U, ac cording to a Russian corresi ondent of the Time3. The troops, he says, fired sev eral volleys into the strikers at close quarters. The correspondent regards this occur rence as a significant comment on the officially inspired reports that matters had resumed their normal aspect in the disturbed districts of Southern Russia. RUSSIAN TROOPS FIRE INTO MOB OF STRIKERS Fourteen Men Are Killed and at Least One Hundred Are Wounded. OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 17.— R. G. Hunt of San Francisco displayed the finest form of the day's games In the opening of the Middle Western tennis tournament here this morning. He defeated his opponent, F. J. Hill, Omaha. The score by points: Hunt—*, *. 5. 2. 4, 4. 4. 4.-20-*. HI11-1. 1. 7. 4, 1. 0, 0, 3-17-4. Hunt— 4. 4, 3. 4. 4, 6, 2, 4—31—6. Hill-0, 2, 6, 1, 2, 4, 4, 0-18-2. Hunt's play was watched . with the greatest interest by the players in tho tournament, and the general consensus of opinion was that he did not exert himself to play. He played a graceful game, using several strokes and placing marvelously well. His cross court strokes and back hand Btrokes were especially fine. He seemed to have little trouble in passing Hill at the net and returned almost every thing put into his court. Hill's points were gained mostly on net and out balls. Other prominent players winning to-day were : * Sheldon, Kansas City; Fletcher, Gales burg; Hopkins, Chicago; Dr. Van Camp, Omaha. OMAHA. Neb..

LOCAL TENNIS PLAYEB DISPLAYS FINE FORM Hodges and Launchmere, a clever col ored couple, made a great hit at both performances at the Chutes yesterday. Others on a capital programme were Jessie Dale, the young barytone, in illus trated songs; Bandy and Wilson, a danc ing duo; Harry Baker, a novelty musician; the Campbell brothers, Indian club jug glers, and Mexlas and Mexias, a clown and his dog. The animatoscope showed many amusing moving pictures.. The amateurs will appear on Thursday night. Chutes. It being a Miller production, nothing, of course, need be said of the mise en scene, and "The Devil's Disciple" remains among those things that must not be missed. BLANCHE PARTINGTON. Miss Alice Wander's Mrs. Dudgeon was an excellent piece of work, and the An thony Anderson of George S. Titheradge well filled out the demands of that rather exacting part. Claire Kulp, of the rest, was charmingly simple and natural as Essie. rightly keyed, but not enough of it. He has not the superb manner, the "grand air" with which one credits this exiled Chesterfield, but he still delivers the Bur goyne witticisms with right proper point and flavor. "In Harvard" is by all odds the best burlesque production that has been pro duced at the Grand Opera-house, and thit is saying a great 'deal. The finale of the second act, "College Days," is a revela tion both in color and motion and the cos tumes are handsome in the extreme. ¦ In fact the piece abounds in beautiful effects and lavish scenic environment. Cfieridah Simpson's piano specialty, in which she imitates a music box and an autoharp, is clevely executed and her singing seems to improve with a second hearing. Ray mond and Caverly have some amusing parodies and both comedians work hard to insure the success of the play, which began its second week last night. Budd Ross and Anna Wilks have a pleasing song and dance specialty entitled "The Red Carnation," and Harold Crane makes a hit with his coster songs. Loutee Moore is seen and heard to advantage In "Rain bows Follow After Rain." in which she is assisted by the entire chorus of pretty girls. Julie Cotte and Winifred Gordon give effective aid in the song "The Troubles of the Reuben and the Maid." Grand Opera-House. Miller has the part of the "devil's dis ciple," Dick Dudgeon, and Shaw's hero. His conception has fully the gay noncha lance of the character, its skin deep cyn icism, its infrequent tenderness. A little, perhaps, Mr. Miller fails In conveying the bigness of the fellow's personality, a lit tle, perhaps, on the visionary and idealis tic Bide of the character. Shaw has not given him the chance as the part Sydney Carton gave him, too, but one still feels that there are outlines a little fuller than the actor has filled, colors a' little richer than, he has painted. But 'tis a great part, finely played, and Mr. Miller's ad mirers must by no means miss him in it. As Judith, the minister's wife, who falls from sudden hate into love for the village scapegrace, Miss Anglin has a highly con genial part Rather cruelly ; Shaw has painted the lady, with her tiny ideals, her worship of distinction, her various con ventionalities and appalling lack of hu mor, but MIsb Anglin wins a large suc cess in the part. The Puritan gowns are most particularly becoming, by. the way. K Mr. Morton Selten's General Burgoyne is not wholly convincing. It is a portrait in little of that fastidious aristocrat, ear of the public on a cart irr. Hyde Park, to the blaring of brass bands, and this not at all as a reluctant eacriflce of privacy to political necessity, but because, like all dramatists and mimes of genuine vocation, I am a nat ural-born mountebank." So Shaw, in his illuminative preface to the "Three Plays for Puritans." of which the first, "The Devil's Disciple," was presented by Henry Miller, Margaret Anglin and their com pany .last night at the Columbia Theater. For in spite of all temptations to be long to other nations, we have again among us those eminently welcome play ers. How welcome, last night's reception simply proved over again. These two have a unique niche in the local play-goer's heart. They are peculiarly our own, and we love 'em for it, faults and all. Tho winsome Anglin first found herself famous here, and 'twill be a far day when Miller is forgotten In San Francisco. One felt It right friendly, but only true, when Miller said his and Miss Angln's "how dye-dos," for him to say that last night was a home-coming for them, and that the good-bye to be said in five weeks would be inconspicuously cheerful. But the house, filled to its last seat and more, Btopped Mr. Shaw's "brass band" for sev eral measures when Miss Anglin came in, grace itself In her Puritan browns. The appearance of Henry Miller was the signal for another intermezzo, . and ' the audience did its best to compel a curtain speech at the time Shaw closes his first act. It was a welcome to be proud of, un-Columbian quite In Its frank noise, and the actors surely enjoyed it. At least I saw Miss Anglin's pretty mouth puckered for a "good" cry over it! Subtract the personal popularity of the chief players and one still finds in "The Devil's Disciple" a play shrewdly inter esting, of a ripe piquancy and rare flavor. The "brass band" is over It all, but how well it is handled! One minds not at ail any more than In an Oscar Wilde play — that the characters are simply the mouth pieces of the author, that the Presbyterian minister preaches "The Quintessence of Ibsenism"; that General Burgoyne voices —in the Shaw manner, wholly delicious— the witty Irishman's opinion of British stupidity; that* Dick Dudgeon's gospel is Shaw's creed. The whole thing is posed, but -how excellently posed! The char acters are blocked in with a frank the atricallsm that Is productive of nothing but joy, and one takes in even trie time worn dispatch at the foot of the scaffold with a lovely and wholesome acceptance. Mechanically the play Is superbly built and it eucceeds in leaving, In Its own peculiar fashion, just the Impression Shaw desired to convey. Puritanism has never been more slyly and daringly pilloried, nor the colonial war more acutely rid iculed. The audience was delightfully re sponsive. Mrs. Dudgeon's vicious puri tanlsm, as she attacks the poor Illegiti mate left in her keeping, immediately struck the audience on its humorous spot, and from there until the end of the play there was a continuous gurgle. The dia logue, being Shaw's, could not do other than scintillate. That is where it so heavily loseB In realism and one so heav *ily gains in enjoyment. f / llEY tel1 me tnat So-and-So. DC a who does not write prefaces jj to his plays, is no charlatan. ¦** Well, I am. 1 first caught the There was great curiosity to see the ex preacher, Edwartis Davis, who"* ap peared for the first time in this city be fore a goodly number of people who had heard him in the pulpit. He was the ostensible hero of the play, lover, abo lition orator, husband of the heroine, rescuer of the squire, who, according to a stage idea as old as the history of the drama itself, is about to be sold out on foreclosure of mortgage. The truth is that Davis made , a dignified figure for the most part. There were some manner- Isms that, were reminiscent of pulpit ora tory, but the general effect of his work was good. He was successful beyond or dinary expectation- and never awkward.' He evidently has. enough dramatic ability to make a very much stronger showing with greater experience. Hardly too much can be said in favor of H«nry D. Byers as Squire Hurley. The same praise may be given to Tony West as Joel Whit beck, the Yankee peddler, whose clever ness had a tang to it. Excellently well also did Marie Howe, Oza Waldorp, Juliet Crosby, Helen Hartley and Herbert Ash ton. Clarence Baker does a nice turn /(rith a sentimental ballad. Applause was liberal to the end. The indications all were that in' "The Dairy Farm" the Al cazar has picked a winner. tucky belle whose love of a Union hero overcomes her: sentiment for the South looked and acted the part charmingly. Miss Lawton is one of the clever and beautiful daughters of the Blue Grass State. Henry Shumer had the thankless role of a conscienceless Southern colonel, an officer who lacked the chivalry pro verbial of the South, and George P. Webster gave an effective Dick j Kansett, a cadet with a hjstory ; and an oath of vengeance. - George Nlcholls played well the. part of the sturdy mountaineer who harbors' a vendetta aealnst the family of the hero. - : He Is the father of the heroine and he strikes, at the Union hero's life in the most startling ecene of the drama, on a bridge which has been set afire to prevent the " biuecoat's escape. The staging was all that the manage ment advertised. There were live fowls, a live horse, a very fair stage snowstorm, Jingling bells to indicate the arrival of sleighs for the "squire's" merry-making on Christmas eve, at least two score of people on the stage at once, moonlight enough to seem real in a courtship scene and to send romantic thrills through the callow minded, a village street so ar ranged that the peddler's cart is driven realistically through it. and other details were provided to give excellent semblance of reality. It was worth all theNmoney expended on lta production and all the money an audience,' that crowded the house paid to see It. It Is sweet and pure and filled with laughter, the laughter being due about equally to the skill of the playwright and of the very clever work that marked its production at the Alcazar. No one will accuse the play writer of not furnishing enough material, for the play was not done until hard upon mid night. This was due to long waits be tween scenes, Incidental to the first pro duction, but had the waits been shorter the play would have filled up three hours or more. « "The Dairy Farm," the , play in which Edwards Davl3- V made his initial bow to the public as a professional thespian, "is pure, sweet and whole some." It is more than that, for it Is also interesting. Strongly it t reminds one of "Hazel Kirke," famous ¦ on the stage for phenomenally long -runs of continu ous favor, especially in the character of Squire Hurley, the man of "Iron will." It outdoes "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in the outrages that It depicts as having been perpetrated on one particular black man who is a refugee slave, and is betrayed to his former servitude when in the hands of a supposed friend who is to conduct him to Canada. This the black man fin ally revenges by a murder. No one will say that "The Dairy Farm" is original in any particular, but it was cleverly compiled from a great amount of available material of proved value in affecting the risibilities and command ing the tears of audiences, and the result Is that it stands forth with prom ise of. being a strong and continued suc cess. h^ LEANOR MERRON made good to San Francisco last evening on her claim which appears on the Alca *4 tat Theater programme, ¦¦¦ that Tivoli. D<> Koven's "Highwayman," with Ca mllle d'Arville and Arthur Cunningham In the leading roles, still pleases at the Tlvoli, and the opening night of the final week drew as large a house as the first, notwithstanding the counter attractions of the electric lights and the old soldiers on the streets. Miss d'Arville was in good voice last night and sang with a spirit and sweetness that won continued en cores. Edwin Stevens, the Foxy Quiller of the opera, was in his best vein and kept the audience convulsed with merri ment. Stevens' humor 13 spontaneous and i3 never overdone. Ferris Hartman as Lord Kilkenny was an irresistible cari cature of an Irishman and kept the an dience In a roar. "With "Webb and Annie Myers added to these there is no lack of comic talent In the Tlvoli company. Elfle Fay, who winds up the programme at the Orpheum this week, is termed "the craziest soubrette on the American stage." She might more aptly be called the fun niest, for she does stunts that would bring; shouts of laughter from a chronic dys peptic, and she does them in a manner that shows that aside from her "crazy" antics she is a little lady who possesses talent enough to place her far ahead of many so-called star comediennes.
