After tbe story of David Warfleld's
vonderful welcome home is told; after
the plot of "The Music Master" is ex
plained and the play analyzed — if it
will stand It; after the society fea
ture of last night's function at the Al
cazar theater has been made into local
theatrical history, and the brilliancy
of the house described — after all this
has oeen said and done there still re
mains, like a pine tree on-an eminence,
the little fisrure of David Warfleld. the
music master, brought to life. His un
dersized figure, bent and tired; his
spirit nearly broken by a fruitless
search of 16 years for his "little baby";
his Kiszt-liko countenance shaded b^
hair touched with gray — that is what
most of us will recall in years to come
when we brag about having seen Dave
in '.The Music Master." Most of us
wilt, somewhat diffidently, perhaps, re
, membi-r weeping when he wept, laugh
ing he laughed and loving the
homely little music master all the time
— loving him for his simple humanity,
for his quaint goodness and for saying
the tilings we would want to say were
we in his position.
3IISSIOX OF POETRY
That, it eeems to me. Is the mission
of poetrj, to say what good men
would say, if they only could; and, on
that count, Warfield must be accounted
a poet among the actors.
Few who witnessed the production
last night would be willing to admit
that what had just been presented was
merely an episode vivified by a single
star's art. enlivened by a splendid
company and made into the semblance
of a play by the genii^3 of David Be
lasco; but that Is what it was, never
theless. It is a wonderfully contrived
series of acts in which Belasco has
placed the figure of a melancholy
merry music master, and every scene
and situation plays upon that charac
ter, bringing out Its lineaments as a
spot lipfcjt on a face, so all may know
what manner of man this Yon Bar
wig is.
And this Is something of what we
gathered last night.
PLOT OP GREAT PIJLY
t Yon Bat-wig's wife has left his
Leipsic home with the musician's best
friend 16 years before the curtain rises
on the action. She has taken her
baby daughter with her, too, leaving
Yon Barwig broken hearted wnen
'he Is just on the point of winning fame
and fortune from a symphony he has
. completed.
Yon Barwig followed the eloping
couple to America, and the curtain
rises on his forlorn studio 16 years
later. His friends are poor musicians
like himself; his quarters are in the
east side, and his life is a weary grind
of lesson giving and playing in cheap
cafes or wherever else he may find a
buyer for his talents. Then comes a
ray of happiness in his life — though
he is merry and brave all the time in
his funny little foreign way. Helen
Stanton, the daughter of a wealthy and
.philanthropic banker, calls on him and
aEks thatche give lessons to a poor lit
tle boy in th« neighborhood, whose
talents are great but whose funds are
\u25a0mall.
CLASPS DAUGHTER TO HEAHT
• Tbe music master Is later Invited
Into the girl's home to give her Jes-'
sons, too. By this time everybody has
"guessed who Helen Stanton is. The
false friend, fearing the music master
' will expose him, seeks to eject him
from the house, and bids the girl tell
her teacher that she will take no more
lessons. The truth prevails, of course.
Yon Barwig, who. through a picture of
the girl's mother hanging in the room,
''discovers his' daughter's identity,
claeps.her to his heart, bids farewell
to his sordid surroundings and goes to
live with his "little baby" and her hus
band.
. 'The wedding of Helen and Bever-ly
.Cruger takes place between the second
and third acts. She then finds out
• from her bogus parent that Yon Bar
t wig and not Stanton is her father.*' ':
\u25a04 Surely. that is simple enough.. It Is
almost naive as a fairy story — this tale
i»f the long lost father giving lesspns
;jjnl>eknown to his own daughter, and
• his"; seeing' in her pretty face a some
thing that reminds him of the baby
picture he carries with him al-
Cways. But, how tile story will move
-•you wbeni/Warfleld plays It!
In the' very first act Warfleld pro
ceeds to^take a grip upon the chords
"of"- your •/\u25a0 heart and gives them 'some
preliminary tugs like a violinist test
; .Ing his strings. He is about to hear
tils daughter, play on his old square
jiiano." A feeble light from a small
lamp bgt faintly illumines the room.
He holfts it against the girl's face and
. gazes Into her eyes. He does not dare
\u25a0 to hope, hardly.does he dare to' breathe.
Then come the piano movers to take
his piano away because he owes two
months' rent. "Well," he says as, the
instrument is disappearing, "it was a
very poor toned piano, anyway."
' ( .. But there isn't time . nor space to
continue. '•. Opportunity will be afforded'
later *to do justice to the excellent
company which Belasco has sent.
Their tart Is not; altogether hidden by
'"WarSe-ld's greater; rather do the mem
bers of .the company shed color and
light on the best piece of character
acting San Francisco has perhaps ever
, seen., Best, that -is. In point of sweet
human goodness and true manliness;
: best from . a father's ! point of vtew, I
dare say. for- the music master Is. the
poem of paternal love simply and truly

Warfield on Opening Night
The Alcazar theater never had within
its doors a gayer, more representative,
more fashionable audience than that
which gathered to bid David Warfleld

many of them composed of his personal
friends of boyhood days or of men and
women who have been connected with
him during his long professional career.
In the body of the house were other
