The ! rinsing sbouts of applause which time \u25a0 and again cut into the speech of the ; Rev. Father Phillip O'Ryan indicated that the sentiments' which over a cen tury ago lifted a toy to the heights of a martyr's scaffold had in no whit been ! lessened in Irish hearts by either time : or distance. The meeting was given under the auspices of the Knights of the Red Branch, nnd th« theater" was packed 1 long before the exercises opened. With ; cheers and tear? Irish hearts responded i to the emotions brought 1 forth by the : memory of the long list of glorious dead and et the recollection of the AMUSEMENTS Valencia St. Ne«r ISth — Piionf! Msrket IT."

The mo3t dramatic moment of the entire afternoon was when Father O'ltyan. in picturing Emmet making his famous speech from the dock, asso ciated with the gallant boy the spirits of the heroes wljo had gone before. One : by one he read the o long roll of patriots and martyrs, and as each fa miliar name fell upon the ears of theN audience there began a scattering round of applause which culminated in a perfect uproar. "The' memory of- the illustrious dead." said Father O'Uy;tn, "supported Emmet i at that moment and with that memory Ihe gpoke once again for Ireland in ; language that will never die, and plead | ed for tlie last tiir.e for the freedom of this country ere f.he hangman's rope had [ j silenced forever his eloquence." , ! The program opened with a piano j selection" of Irish airs by Miss Mary Caxrlck. Mrs. Daisy Keane Gillogley i sang: the touching ballad of "My Em ! mefs No More," and followed it with "Oh, Breathe Not His. Name" and "Rory O'Moore." M. J. Lawless gave two solos, in., Gaelic, "Slainte na Gael" and "Clan na Gael go Deo." llobert Era mefs speech 1 from the dock was well read by John Muirenin and was fre quently itpplauded. A violin solo of Irish marches by Master 1-eo Murphy I set the house stamping its feet and whistling, as did 'Kilarney/' sung by Mrs. Laura Flanagan. The other num bers on the program were two tenor 5 solos by David Manlloyd, "Let Erin Remember" and 'Who Fears to Speak iof "93." Jhe program v was concluded with the entire audience singing the last named song. Frank T. Shea presided at the meet ing.

After; hearing them again and again we are 'like* the. young ster* over Mother Goose's jingles, _want to hear them once more/. 1 "Babes "in Toyland" Is at the American this week, and it is easy to see already-the string of youngsters with papa and' mamma- — papa preferably— wending down Market street and turning in_ "at the portals which open up the land of toys - and which . disclose such wonderful crea tures as Tom, the piper's son; Mary," quite contrary; Little Red Riding Hood; Jack and his sweetheart ..Jill; , Bo- Peep, Little Boy Blue and the other inhabitants of juvenile land. The chorus on the occasion of ' this visit is go-od and tuneful, the pals number, but few— one J or, two*-^ good voices,- Gene Ormond as : Jane Is the feminine hit of the show, and^Gus Pixley, who was with the company when the Columbia theater went the way of all buildings in San Francisco that April morning, is still Marmadiike, with a. voice that. suggests Ted Hart man's at its worst, but with comedy manners air his own and entirely funny. Pixley and Miss Ormond took the count yesterday in the "Nursery Days" song, wherein Jane o - sings the orthodox ver .sion of Mother Goose and Marmaduke gives the revised and up. to date ren dering. '* Beth Tate, as Contrary Mary, exhib ited the best .voice and sang '.'Barney O'Flynn" with much Celtic spirit. "Ida Ward was the widow wltii ) so many children she didn!t know what to do and . was acceptable, while John Ward as the miserly uncle, who supplies the plot, was splendidly crabbed and mis erable. ' > . . o .The piece needs some gingering up. and the lighting effects are poor, but the ensembles are harmonious. The chorus girls "caji sing. Like most com panies in from the road' for a week's stay., 'the wafdrobe needs_ freshening vp f but the entertainment supplied by the company as a whole , is refreshing and clean, and the children will- enjoy it beypnd- a doubt,' while father listens to the orchestra through his opera glass. } Orpheum Bill Pleases It can not be said that the introduc tion of a lecture in a vaudeville enter tainment Is a complete success. Lloyd fc'cdtt tried it last night at the Orpheum and had a good line of straightaway, chatter about Egypt, the pyramids and the Nile. He had movlng ; pictures and pictures that didn't move/ but: the en semble lacked the entertaining qualities which it would, have had in d lecture hall or at the Youns Men's Christian association on a dark night. . Much better was the anatomical com edy, hish and lofty tumbling and low brow act of Bowejrs. Walters &nd Crock er, who are the limit in tr-eir line. Dressed as "rubes." they, develop a gro tesque acrobatic act out v of a dancing turn, and fall all over the -stage with apparent recklessness, but always safe ly. So far as I could see no bones were broken^though many were in jeopardy. The act took well. . « Jack Connelly and Miss. Margaret Webb are.in a cyclone of comedy/mel ody and action. .Connelly Is one- of the few triok pianists who ; really plays when he wants to.'and Miss 'Webb has a pretty voice, which' she uses taste fully in a few. ballads. . Connelly'scom edy is not as good ai? his music., but, the two get away with their act-creditably, though without tearing the house down, in spite ofa scenic, cyclone which fin ishes the turn lamely. .
