Light Opera May Be
Established at the
Princess "
By Jamea Crawford
One of the rumors concerning the
ruture policy of the Princess theater—
and none of them is either con
firmed or denied by the new man
agement—is to the effect that the
pretty and commodious playhouse
Jsto be made, a permanent home of
light opera and the better class of
musical comedy— such as the Tlv*olt
was. It Is to be hoped that this report
is not entirely groundless. That the
town actually hungers for music fare
that is light, clean and clever was re
cently demonstrated by the throngs
drawn to the Van Ness theater by "The
Prtnco of pilsen." Although the com
pany was mediocre, both vocally and
dramatically, the gross receipts of tho
week/exceeded 113,000 and the house
management declares that more money
would have been taken in If there had
been more seats for sale.
It was the third visit of "The Prlnct"
to Ban Francisco, so- the element of
novelty was responsible for little if
any of lv magnetism. But the fact
that so; many people saw it for the
second or third times argues well for
the attractiveness that' would attach
to the Gilbert and Sullivan works and
the tuneful old French and German
light operas, such as "La Fllle de
Madame An got" ana "The Black Hus
sar." if they were sung and acted by
artists of known capability and staged
as the Tlvoli used to stage them. With
out being so. presumptuous as to at
tempt to dictate or even suggest what
the Princess management should do
with Its theater— for Morris Meyerfeld
has proved his ability to ascertain tho
amusement seeking taste of San Fran
cisco's people and profitably cater to
it — I venture the opinion that' a re
vived Tlvoli' would be successful.
.When' the Milan grand opera oom
pany concludes its season here next
Sunday it will go to Los Angeles tor a
four, weeks' stay, then- return north
ward and give Oakland a taste of ita
quality. If arrangements to that ef
fect can be perfected it will give one
or two performances. of the double bill,
"Cavalleria" and "Pagliaccl," In the
Greek theater. Then it goes, to New
Orleans for an eight Weeks' season,
and will round out Its first year of
existence by touring the Central
American cities. Impresario Lam
bardl announces that he 'will como
back to San Francisco next season
with a bigger and better organization
than his present on«. What ho needs
most Just now is a prima donna con
tralto: and a few, more competent vio
linists in his orchestra, The rest of
his force is good enough for any
country; ,1
Madame Gadski will be the flrtst of
the great singers to visit- us after the
opera season closes. She is booked to
Bing three song programs in Dream
land pavilion, the dates being October
15, 18 and. 20, and on. the evening of
October 14 she will make her first ap
pearance in Oakland, at Ye Liberty
playhouse. It is announced that she
will give a concert with the university
orchestra on Thursday afternoon, Oc
tober 17.
Since her last visit here the diva has
been making a special study of com
positions by American composers and
at each of her concerts on her present
tour will sing a gYoup of- such works.
At the Greek theater concert she will
be heard in &. Beethoven aria and the
"Llebestod" from "Tristan and Isolde."
Music lovers will be pleased to learn
that Frank La Forge. the young
American composer pianist whose work
met with such hearty approval on the
occasion of Mme. Gadski's last tour,
is again with her and will play solos
as well as accompaniments. Mme.
Gadski sings a number of compositions
by this brilliant artist.
John Philip Sousa and his band will/
appear at Dreamland the last .week in'
October. A soprano, a vlollnst and a
cornet soloist will be the special at
tractions. The band, numbering 50
men, is said to be the best that Sousa
has ever had under his direction. He
is constantly improving his organiza
tion and there is not another band be
fore the public that can compare with
his present one.
Will Greenbaum is in receipt of the
program for the Sousa concerts and
says they read almost like symphony
concert offerings. What other band
but Sousa's would dare attempt such
works as Richard Strauss' wonderful
tone poem 'Till Eulensplegel's Merry
Pranks," the love scene from the same
composer's "Feuersnoth." Bizet's "Suite
Arleslenne," and Dvorak's' "Humor
esque"? These classics are judiciously
Interspersed with good, popular .music
and works of the talented bandmaster,
Includlng\ his latest march, "Powhat
an's Daughter.'^^g
Madame Sembrich also is to be heard
here in song recital this season, and it
is reported that quite a little diplomacy
was needed to induce her: to undertake
the late winter tour which Loudon
Charlton Is, arranging for her. When
the prima donna finished her southern
tour in the spring her manager prompt
ly began nursing, a scheme to send her
to the Pacific coast, a plan with but
one drawback — the singer's refusal to
crowd three seasons Into one. She
maintained that her fall t concert tour
and three months in opera provided all
the opportunity desired for the disposal
Of thrills and aeronautic notes, . and
£he. sailed for Europe . firm t and ; un
moved. Mr. Charlton, however.v while
brooding over the gloomy picture v of
far western concert money diverted
into less worthy channels, bethought
himself of the sex's proverbial; in
stability. Whereupon he made a" tenta
tive proposition; to a number of coast
cities. Results exceeded- rosiest
dreams. Apparently every place '- west
of .the Mississippi was crying for Sem
brich and N wouldn't be happy; until it
got her. A cablegram stating that the
demand had been made practically
unanimous was sent under the Atlantic,
and the following day came answer
that ; madame" had :'- relented." She : will
start for this coast, as soon as the
season: at the Metropolitan opera house
closes, in February.

POLITICAL CAMPAIGN

r of Coriveritibris
CABANISS ON SLATE
Will B e Nominated on Two
Tickets for Place on
Police Bench
By John Taylor Waldorf
• In •at least one particular -the Y pres
ent political campaign will be singu
larly unlike Its predecessors of recent
years. The two-nomination".' man \wlll
not be numerous and the l three-nomina
tion man, made so -common by Abe
Hue f , now "cribbed, cabined and con
fined," will be nowhere in evidence.!- > Z
Most of the members of the present
board of supervisors may have ; both '; a
democratio and a republican
tion if they say^the .wordjiwilliam \u25a0H;
Langdon probably will be on two tick
ets, and one or two candidates for
police judge may \be honored similarly,
but no aspirant for I public '-\u25a0' olßce 'i will
be able to print on ; his campaign' cards,
"republican, democratic \ and ,union
labor nominee." \u25a0 ' ' '-'"
The good government league, now
busy' with petitions for : Mayor .Taylor
and District Attorney Lahgdon,: will, If
it "carries -out . the : present plan, derive
the latter a. Uhlrd nomination, by peti
tion, but it has not yet earned classlfl
catlon aa a political :party.
Police Judge George .H.'Cabaniss is
slated for nomination by. the democrats
and laborltes. Joseph Taaffe, who
seeks a place on the police, bench, ex
pects the republicans and L the laborites
to get behind him. Several other can
didates for offices other than; super
visors are looking for two 'nominations,
but most of them are doomed to dis
appointment.
John E.McDougald'B chance of.get
ting the union labor nomination -for
treasurer Is brightening daily, "but at
the same time his republican friends
who want to see his name on their
ticket are finding it hard : work' to
keep their feet In ; the "door.
gald may have a place on t the'-labor
ticket If he will agree; to Ignore all
other parties. As .the republicans do
not want him. and the democrats are
not even considering his name,' John's
dilemma Is ln.no way appalling.
Friends of J. Harry Scott - &r» hard
at work •at the task of ; getting" his
name on both the republican and labor
tickets as a candidate for assessor, but
as yet have received no -absolute prom
ise of either nomination. -Not al'fewa I ' few
republicans favor .an indorsement ' of
Assessor Dodge. Others object ; to both
Dodge and Scott. If the laborites do
not' name Scott the place on the ticket
may go to either Lawrence F. Wal3h
or. Thomas F. Boyle.
The committee on recomendatlons for
supervisorial nominations appointed by
the "republican convention held a meet
ing yesterday, but did not get down to
personalities, and will hold another
meeting today. ~ "%:
Preliminary, discussion revealed that
the committee will igtfore assembly dis
trict > lines, while • still ' endeavoring •to
give recognition to all parts of the city.
Members ' of -\u25a0 the present \u25a0.' board' of su
pervisors will be considered,* not as Inr.
cumbents, j but j as \u25a0' individuals '.possess
ing the qualifications demanded by the
committee. \u0084-, "•;*
No republican Blate has been made
up: Numerous apllcants for. ; places on
the ticket , have selected the offices
which they are anxious to. adorn, but
it Is l predicted that^the list ' of ; nomi
nations - will brißtle with surprises.'
The | aim v of the republican leaders is to
nominate only influential men, who will
make a fight for the whole ticket from
mayor to. police Judge.
The name of "Recorder John H..Nel
son, who has already been renomlnated
by the labor party.^wlll bo" presented
to the republican-convention, but the
failure of the laborites to indorse
Daniel A. Ryan has caused the latter' s
friends to look unkindly on , the . sug^
gestlon that Nelson .be- indorsed by the
republicans. However, ;,the % place is
still open, and; :the\ Nelson man say:
"Whatever happens,; there ; Is going to
be ' a 1a 1 rollcall before any one gets the
nomination." J
" State Senator R. J. "Welch has the
inside .track for the republican 'nomi
nation for/ sheriff, but a few delegates
are whispering the name ' of .'Slgi Simon.'
Among those ? mentioned , for "other of
fices are A." G. Frank for county;' clerk,
George ,W. Bauer- for tax' collector, :C.
A. Murdock for treasurer;- R/H-Web^

a substitute tenor, who shall' here be narifeless. Parola \u25a0 was i 111 . and would
not sing. The substitute 'tenor, needed a tuning fork . tb; get up ; to his notes
and , aVhet to get down,*and the; prinia ; donna had all she" could do to keep on

bya previous production of Verdi's opera, j *\u0084'>.;

Padovani last night; it was radiant and" prophetic of ' the music she was soon
to hear, If the ba|ve; argument in the program is to be believed. '

evening, though the most went to tho soprano. *
