PREDICTS RETURN
OF STOCK HOUSES
Permanent Companies in Thea
ters tb^Succeed Star Sys
tem/Says Frohman
That the pendulum of popular ap
proval is 01 the verge of swinging for
ward, to < revival of the permanent
Btotfk- rotxpanies of a former day, and
that tb<? -ide is rising against the prev
alence «f the present star system, is
t!se <-on'iction of Daniel Frohman. dean
of. American play producers. Frohman
arrived in this city last night after an
«bsenoe of 13 years. He Is accompanied
by hi* wife, better known to the play
scing public as Miss Margaret llHng-
Xjqh,' \u2666-;
' "T2ere are actors aplenty whose pow
er^ niight be successfully and prai tie- ,
ally combined in providing the public
with stock companies like the Lyceum
of 10 years ago," said he. "The 'New
theater" project, conceived by a number
of New York millionaires, has for Its
purpose the production of great plays
by an adequate 6tock company.
*I do not think that many of the
5T»r« would be induced to abandon their
large incomes to join eueh a troupe.
A training school attended with careful
ftudy and preparation, both of the actor
and th<* play, would probably be the
foundation of puch a company.
DIFFERENT IV FR.L\CE
"Conditions, of course, are different
in this country than they are in France.
There the stock companies flourish and
actors are pensioned liberally by th«
jrovernment. In France the great act
ors draw the largest salaries while
showing: in tlie big cities. In America
this is not true. The star makes more
money outside of New York than with
in. -This is because of the keen compe-
Uuob of managers, who draw the star
away from the metropolis to head some
venture he has on the road. «.
"The playright is also an «nemy of
the stock company. New York with 50
jPlayhouses produced but five or cix sig
fxai successes last season. Good plays
V.re In great demand. The result is
tLat the manager contracts to put sev
crar companies on the road.
"Now why? First — Because for 30
years the laws in our legislature have
been made for the sta.te corporations
by the corporations. Everybody fa
miliar with the politics of California
knows thin to be true.
•'Second— Bfoaunf the jadsres ar«* d*~
pendent for tbelr positions on corpora
tion bog***. No matter how honest 8
iisdpr mar be he has for hi* friend*
and assoctate.B corporation people. He
thinks along lines of technical cor
poration law. He is a corporation man.
"Now, Mr. Spreckels and Mr- Heney
an/i Mr. Lrfingdon have brought this
?.q«arely before the people. They have
proved to the people that they are
"njjed by the corporations; that the
/•©f'porai.e interests are the dominant
jporifc-er.
; /"The question now In wider than the
Mrbneration of certain rich men. of
Ituef and fflllmun and >ebmltr. These
men must have Justice done them. And
the failure to convict Ruef is a rotten
dfSßTaee to San Krandtco.
\VII,I/ PEOPLE HAVE JUSTICE*
t'The question, however, now is. will
the. people rise to the emergency?
VVill they — as the sovereign power of
the democracy — be the rulers? Will
they compel justice? Will they visit
:\u25a0?. just retribution on judges who de
liberately bring about a horrible mls
> arriage of justice?
•San Francisco has got to make good!
W« afe in the middle of a battle. The
< yris of the whole country are upon ;
us. . We cannot stop now without
stultifying our reputation for moral
decency. It is no time for small criti
c!J-ms of method or personalities.
. \u25a0"The game's afoot.' There are two
armed camps. One is the camp of
corporations, with its power of wealth
and its effort? to shield rich criminals.
Ruef and Schraltz are on this side.
They are united to the rest to try to
defeat justice.
''The other 1s the camp of the people,
xvlio are struggling simply for justice:
for good Juries and fair trials; for
judges that are judges indeed, capable
ot seeing a wider horizon than the
horizon of eilly technicalities.
WILL FORCE ISSUE
"Now, the Leagu« of Justice intends
to force this Issue directly before the
people. The people are being misled
and the real questions side tracked.
There is an organized campaign and
an organized pressure on. the other
efde. The league will run a campaign
of education to bring the real issue be
fore the" people, to make plain to them
the fundamental Question, shall justice
be upheld?
"The '©ague will also give all the
help It can to see that the prosecution
of the graft cases has the full support
of the good, cltlrens of San Francisco.
"The league hopes also, to get. the
organized assistance of the great body
of clergy in San Francisco who have so
unanimously expressed their approval
of the prosecution and demanded jus
°.*'ln short the league plans to .or
ganize ail the great forces of citizen
ship that have been expressing them
selves sporadically In these \u25a0 last two
years to make a great army of peace.
Rf eking citizens to lift up their united
protest against the flagrant and dis
graceful miscarriage of justice and to
compel equal Justice to be done so that
at the last San Francisco will keep In
united spirit a great Sabbath of jus
tice."

Two Policemen and Two Thugs
Engage in Running Fight
on Roofs
Pursued for over a block-over Bar
bary coast rooftops by the police, with
only the moon's light to guide them,
two armed holdup. men. made their es
cape from Patrolmen .Prendergast and
Larkin Saturday night 'by a desperate
leap of a 20 foot gap between the tops
of two buildings.
One of the men slipped on the roof's
edge and would have been dashed to
pieces on ground below had not his
companion reached down and dragged
him to safety, while the bullets of the
pursuing officers fell about them. Coolly
returning the fire • the men made their
way to a skylight, down which they
disappeared before the.-'patrolmen could
reach the spot.
The thugs took to the rooftops after
they had been chased by Prender
gast and Larkin from Pine and
Montgomery streets, where they were,
discovered in the act of robbing George
Berovich of 150 Jackson street of $16.50
in cash and a gold watch and chain.
The officers followed them hotly to
Bush and Montgomery streets. There
the men took to a stairway with the
officers right at the heels with drawn
revolvers. Seeing that escape : in. any
other way was impossible, the thugs
made their way to the roof.
Leaping from one building to another
in the dim light, the officers and escap
ing criminals kept firing at each other
as they ran. , •\u25a0..; '".'- fl'

MONKEYS CAPTURE
ORPHEUM HONORS
Not That the Critic Likes Them
'Better, but Likes New
comers Less
Walter Anthony
The monkeys beat the men this week
at ' the Orpheum. Indeed, humiliating
as is . the truth, they beat the women,
too/ Of course "The Fadettea •of Bos
ton" are not a . part of this comparison,
neither are Zo.ho, Jordan and Zeno, who
rival the baboons' prehenslbility, nor
Irving Jones, wlio permits himself \u25a0 to
grin like one, nor- Bert : Levy, whose
eloquent brush is still -at. work on a
not- very remarkable', program; -but it
refers to the newebmers of : whom, or
which, the baboons are easily best,
because most entertaining."
There are three , of them— -baboon 3, I
mean — and they are } simian wonders.
It is hard riot to believe that j monkeys
have independent powers of reasoning 1 ,
after you have .witnessed the • really
wonderful performance they give. . v
Each ? one does stuntsTwithout appar
ent prompting by -; their "owner
trainer, Professor G. Grals, and
great \u25a0 gravity they walk '", tight ropes,
loop the loop, and do other like tricks.
No one will call it edifying, of course,
and certainly it isn't art, but It is
worth seeing just the same.,
While one baboon Is turning hand
springs on a tight rope another baboon,
dressed as a maid, appears and supplies
the paraphernalia ; for the ' act, ? which,
when completed, permits : the '"maid"
to remove the things k she , has brought
on' in the most solemn 'manner and
without instruction? or hint "from the
trainer. The "maid" 'does . everything
but blush when the acrobat on the.
tight rope disengages himself -of ..his
clothes with two hands while he holds
to his perilous position with his two
other : paws. Still another baboon, "Dia
vollno," loops the loop on a bicycle and
is carried, with tralned^tenderness, oft
the stage by the biggest baboon.
Surely so much space would not
have been devoted to the monkeys had
the men been worthier.-, " v v 7
Sager Midgeley and Gertie Carlisle
are said to be vaudeville favorites- —
the program so announces them.' May
be; but they did not live up to It yes
terday. "After School," the 'act iri<
which they reappear, is as vacuous as
a monkey's gaze and as silly as .. his
grin. If there is wit in it I missed; it
yesterday. After an interminable dia
logue in which it becomes established
that Sammy is. a sleepy and ' rural
schoolboy and that Sarah Is^an alert
schoolgirl, a bottle of champagne is
produced and supplies the center for
some more dialogue. ; After the episode
of the bottle," from which neither sips —
and so cannot plead /intoxication — a
vei^ion of Chopin's sad tune from the
funeral march masquerades as "Couldn't
You Love a " Little Girl (Boy) Like
Me," : is sung by 'the twain and then
they do a little dance.
John' and Mac Burke appear in a
musical comedy sketch which Will M.
Cressy admits is on his conscience. He
calls it "How Patsy Went to War," but
might profitably call it anything else.
It beginsin a hotel where a messenger
mixes up his messages and hands the
wrong letter to the yqung lady, '. Miss
Mae.t/Nothingimore s^cJous than
ragtime piano^ playing comes •of this,
and a songiby-both. Then they change
.their clothes , and he is a^ramp soldier,
while! she is'a'.radixunti^rlvandiere in
whiter-and gold. They^ sirig^slightly
and throw a joke at Director^ Rosner,
i and then their turn is ver. '< \u0084V,xi;r ;
Clifford and Burke are better in their j
blackface nonsense and do some nimble
conversation and dances/. .
The Fadettes change 'their program
of orchestral selections, Jones varies '
his turn/with some ;new ebony songa, I
and the . acrobatic troupe which opens j
the bill remains popular. The pictures i
at the close of " the ; show are well |
worth waiting and missing a 1a 1 car to i
