L FAKES WELL PUT ON AT THE ALCAZAR AT SAN FRANCISCO. Deals With the Love of a Mining Man of Lorty Station In x the Klondike. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. Aug. 23. (Special Correspondence.) Jack London made his debut in San Francisco this woek as a playwright. The piece was produce at the Alcazar Theater and was very well received. It is called "The Great Interrogation," and deals with the love of a mining man In the Klondike London was assisted In writing the play by Mrs. nua Lee Bascom, who has had previous experience and was able to guide London over the wandering paths of dra matic technique. However, the play breathes the spirit of the author of th'o "Call of the Wild." It is more of a curtain-raiser than an elaborate play, and its production requires but a few min utes. The story "is of a miner oMofty station who goes to the Klondike and forms an alliance with an Indian maldoh. forgetful oi the young woman of his own .rank with bom he had been in love in the Unitod States. This woman later follows hlra u the far North and beseeches the miner to return with her to civilization, there to become her husband. Then arises "the great inteogatlon." At last, however, the miner decides to remain with the Indian maldon. who has proved her devotion by saving his life and by giving herself to him without the recognition of the law. Thus Is the groat Interrogation answered in the play itself. The theme and its process of working to a conclusion are somewhat mawkish, but nevertheless there Is a compelling note in the little drama. The atmosphere of the mining regions of the Klondike is presented as it .has never before been shown on the stage. Tne first' performance was a triumph for the author. London, garbed In the cow boy style that has always pleased him, occupied ' an Inconspicuous seat in the gallery, but at the end of the play he was spied and forced to descend to the stage and say a few words. London is accustomed to public speaking, but the experi'-nco was entirely new to him, and It took him some time to find the words which he desired to utter. He very gra jolously said that any merit which the play might possess was due to Mrs. Bas com, who had collaborated wltli him. Miss Kate Condon, who has been gen erallr called the legitimate successor to Jessie Baftlett Davis, on the comic opera stage, has juct concluded a brief engage ment in this city. ' She sang for a few weeks at the Tivoll and achieved a great success. With her departure has come a scritrt of charges and counter-charges between the singer and the management 1 I CO the theater. It has all gone to the courts, and the main contention seems to be in regard to salary. Miss Condon alleges that several hundred-dollars are due her, while the man agement of the Tlvoll assert that several weeks of time are due them. Miss Con don ang in "Rob Roy," and filled the great house from collar to attic at each performance. Tho sa'lary paid her was far in excess of anything ever offered before to an Amercan actress for stock work In San Francisco. It happened jhat the Shuberls of New York wanted Miss Condon to star on Broadway In a new comic opera for the coming season, and the T:volI people say that she took an unceremonious departure, not waiting for hor contract to expire Tho Tlvoli Company is soon to make its annual pilgrimage Into the Northwost. and during its absence a season of Italian opera will be given at the playhouse. Signor Polacco. the famous director, ar rived in San Francisco today and has al ready begun plans for the appearance of the Italian singers. The troupe which has been engaged if stronger than any Italian opera company which has pre viously played here. Moat of the favor ites who have sung In San Francisco dur ing the last five years are Included in the new company. Mine. Tettrazinl, who achieved such a great success in the lyric soprano roles, will acaln bo heard. Ollva Petrella Is the 'leading dramatic soprano. The con i tralto parts will be sung by Maria I Grasse. while half a dozen other women j with big reputations will be with tho troupe. Of the male voices, those wen known here which will be hoard again this season are the rich baritone of Greg gorettl and the bass of Dado. Salassa and Bazellt. also old favorites, are scheduled , to appear. The director has predicted that Anglietti. a tenor never oeiorc neara here, will make the hit of the season. He has been compared to Caruso. The date for tho opening of the com pany has not been definitely fixed, but It Is believed that tho seawm will begin bo fore the end of September. But small at tention will be paid to the German operas, and an attempt will be made to present the Italian music In a more complete way than ever before. Among the novelties will be "Adrlana Lecouvreur," by CIlea, a young Italian composer of whom great things are expected. Cllerf is the director of the Music School of Florence, and has lately achieved some fame through the excellence of his musical productions. A mueical event of rare interest this week was the performance given by the members of the Bohemian Club. The Bo hemians hold their annual jinks In the j redwoods on the Russian River, whero thoy have built a rustic lodge of spa clous proportions. At the conclusion of the ceremonies In the woods the members return to the city and produce portlone of their extravaganza at a local theater. This has come to be a society event sec ond nly to the grand opera season. The music this year was the work of W. J. McCoy, Joseph D. Redding and Edward F. Schneider, all members of the club. It wa largely of a new theme, dealing with things Californian and cndcaoring to express the spirit of the West. There was a fluttering heart In tho breast of every matinee girl In the city this week when it became known that Herschall Mayall, the loading man at the Central Theater, whosa name in San Francisco has come to be a synonym for the qualities that arouse feminine ad miration, had been sued by his wife for divorce. Mayall has been the, hero of the dreams of sentimental lassies for several seasons. He faces the unromantlc charges of cruelty and neglect. He was married in ISM. when a mere boy. and his bride hut a chit of a girl. The young wife be lieves that the success of her husband is in part responsible for the estrangement. Her husband, she says, receives a salary of $M9 a month, and she asks that tfQ a week bc'allowed her as alimony. Charles F.
