If f Tte Play r Following - ths triumphs already Achieved sines the beginning bf it en- ragement In this city, the San Francisco Opera company presented . "The Strol lers" at the Marquam last night, and cored. If possible, even more heavily than In the two former productions, - Brimming over with genuinely funny comedy ' and really contagious , muslol "The Strollers" pleased the audience --from the. opening number. The prin cipal r.eason - perhaps ..for, the slnoere delight of the audience tn the produc er . tlon . was . the almost continual annear- Vnri of Teddy Webb upon the stage. TThs droll Teddy works overtime In The ):, Stroller.? y-y "i-Y.. .:'? : . : ' Ths'XSan ' Francisco Opera r company - .presented the piece at . the . Hetllg sev ' ' eral months' ago, and it was enthusiasm " -tlcally;- received by patrons of ' : that house, If, there was a difference be tween the , performance at the . Helllg i and the one last night, It Was In favor of the latter, for the befOtiful stage and lighting effects of the present pro ''ductlon fe ons of Its strongest fea tures. . ':.,.; The story of "The Scrollers- has to do w(th the wanderings and experiences 'I of two charlatans, sleight-of-hand per 'formers and tricksters. - The scene is Jald in Austria. They encounter various .opportunities to display their trlqWsj and ; o show their; wonderful ability to pose .'.as personages of Importance. Finally, they are discovered to be frauds and - exposed, but are offered positions in ' 'the household of a' prince for a service they have performed. They refuse and -return to their old life as wanderers. ,l'y As the strollers, Teddy Webb and Alda Hemml are irresistible, They are .on the stage during the greater part ne perrormance and cause unbound- Omerrlment. In addition to th ream. Kir music Miss Hemml introduced the .gong "Devotion."' which was one of the musical gems of ths piece, and respond ed to the encore with "Don't Tou Cry. My Honey." . Mr. Webb slso made a great hit with his topical song, "We All Walked Into the Bhop." . It la clever and amusing, and the audience, apparently did not get enough. Ths . star comedian has .made himself . Immensely popular , dur ing the brief engagement of the San Francisco Opera company In this city. Unlike a great many comedians, he be-, omes more popular the, more often he Is seen. 1 Close upon his heels in the effort to raise a laugh in "The Strollers" Is George Kunkel as Prince Adolor de Bompeky.' It is a German dialect. In which Mr. Kunkel displays unusual Ability aa a comedian. Mr. Miller, who also alda In the fun-making usually, appeared In a rather minor part last night. Mr. Wallerstedt, as Roland, a magis trate, shared largely in the honors last night It is undoubtedly the best effort of his engagement In this city and the ong "Loretta'' was repeatedly encored. After a week's absence. Miss Florence Blnnott, the. soubrette who has won such favor with Marquam audiences, appeared last night in tha part of Mlml, a dancer from the Folles Dergere. A disappointing feature Is the absence of Mr. Carl Haydn, the tenor, from the oast this week. The chorus, aids considerably In the success of the piece,- the "Bromstlck .Witches" being especially pleasing. v "The Strollers" will be the bill for the entire week, with the usual matinees.- ' - . .
