Another "Rube" VersionSkit Ends With

Pleasing SnapWALTER ANTHONY

Walter C. Kelly, and Mr. and Mrs.Jimmy Barry, bless 'em, are emeraldlights turned on at the Orpheum thisweek to make the show brilliant.

Walter Kelly has just come backfrom a trip around the world. I Judge jthat it is his first Phineas Fogg stunt, ;for lie speaks about it several times, |and his stories, told as preliminaryto the "Virginia Judge" masterpiece.travel from place to place with no moreregard for expenses than a Utopian hasfor gold.

And everywhere that Kelly went he

found Irishmen who supplied him with"copy." It's true that the stories mightjust as well have been plotted in NewYork or Oakland, but what's the useof a monologist traveling, unless hecan show the foreign labels on hisluggrage? The "docket" monologue isno less gleeful than before. Kelly'scommand -of mimicry is backed by acertain gift for acting, and with his

fastened on the imaginary bru-nette culprits in the Virginia court-room, you seem to zee their shrinking

selves and hear th<»m talk. Kelly isin Kelly's class. His act would havebeen perfect if he hadn't made a speech

and called us "Frisco." He did itthree times.

XKW VERSION* OF "THE RUBE"Jimmy Barry has another version of

'the rube," and his hearty wife helpsout with huge, good humor. Thistime, as ever, there is a snap at theclose of their little skit, that ends itlike a well told story, with a surprise.Barry is as lonesome as a Rube asKelly is alone in his Irish-Africanstories.

The Schmettans are two strong buthuman looking acrobats. The man isas graceful as he is powerful, and theyoung woman is as , strong as she isgraceful. Their act is pretty to be-hold, and that is more than most"strong" acts are.

When a man writes a lot of one actplays, it is inevitable that some of themturn out badly. Edgar Allen WoolfIs no exception. His sketch at theOrpheum was deliberately designed likethe play. "Mother," to hit the tendersensibilities. The trouble with play-wrights when they start out to "hitthe tender sensibilities." they forgetthat the only successful approach isI to the object of attack.POOR "LITTLE MOTHER"

One doesn't kiil humming birds with\u25a0a ?'tiiinon, nor inspire "tender senti-ments" with the blunt butt of theobvious. Woolf's sketch is called "JL.it-tle Mother." and. though the good na-tured audience did not agree with me,i should call it poor "Little Mother."

The instant she told us what a modelson her boy was, we knew that he waabound to make his entrance intoxicated,and when she told us about that $3,000which she had saved, we knew that itwould have to go into the stockingof a painted lady, though we did notknow how much she would look likea picture postal. "LJttle Mother" leavesnothing to the imagination, nothing tobe guessed, no haphazard speculationsto be ventured on the probable out-come of anything.

While It may not be true, it seemedas though at least every other personJn the audience might have written it,which was, bo far as I could see, theonly reason why they liked it. MissGalloway in the principal role haslittle repose or suggrestJveness in heracting, a fault I am willing to attrib-ute to her sketch.THIS THEME WORN OUT

Bert Clark and Mabel Hamilton are"hf-ld over" from last week, a factwhich makes me regret I missed lastweek's show at the Orpheum. WinonaWinter helps to while away the firsthalf of the program, and, in her blondeprettiness, might easily find a bettersong than her opening one, based onthe terribly monotonous grirl who goesin the chorus and who has lots ofmoney saved up from her $18 a weekjob.

This theme for "iyrica" (heaven helpus) is getting nearly as tiresome asBobby Heath's habit of laughing athis own jokes. Bobby Heath and RubyRayotnond have an act in which theshrill voiced lady is brought on in arolling chair before a back drop "one."

There is little else to discuss aboutthe offering except to say it cornea onsecond and can be miseed.

n ALSTON IS WORTHYyj OF FIRST PRAISE

After hearing Gottfried Galston un-der two somewhat extraordinary clr-cumstancesv we went yesterday aft-

ernoon to the Cort theater to seewhether our estimate of this young:Austrian pianist's merit were flatteryor simple justice.

Cialeton had played for us?all ofus?last Tuesday evening, when SanFrancisco was the guest of The CallIn U\u03bc "Hammer" obsequies, and therrowd, surging about Third and Mar-ket streets, had cheered him for thebrilliance of the Strauss

,"Blue Danube"

ripples, lit up with Kchulz-Evler's pret-ty arabesques. Previous thereto Gal-uton had appeared with the San Fran-eleco symphony orchestra, playingLiszt's youthful first concerto. This,too, had inspired his hearers ,, but neith-er the concerto appearance with or-chestra nor the out of door performance

of Christmas eve was a competent oc-casion to judge of Galston's art.

So there was a large audience atthe Cort, and Galston played a largeprogram in a very big manner. Hisschedule of offerings took in Bach,Schumann, Chopin and Brahms. Only

Liszt and Beethoven were missing tomake the event representative of everycomposer a pianist should have to un-dertake to prove his virtuosity.

(iIVES MASSIVE PERFORMANCE?Jalston gave a massive perform-

ance of the Bach D major preludeand fugue arranged by Busoni. Fromhis intonation of the D major diatonicscale until the fugue had wound upits strands to a pattern of grandeur,(rapton impressed the hearer as aplayer of great mentality, technicalskill, strength and virility.

I would not Imply that Galston is arold and distant interpreter betweenyour heart and the printed notes. Hehas much feeling, but his invitation tolisten is never merely sensational vir-tuosity. He uses brains ,

for bait.This was manifested in his Chopin

numbers, which were not of the lan-guishing type, nor sadly sentimental,

I

but those works which Chopin's bestadmirers- point out as evidence that thePole was no puling, but a puissant |pianist. The etude, No. 12, in C minor,from opus 10. was done with a fluent,but firm, left hand, and nicely bal-anced chords picked clearly with righthand perfection.FIRST IMPRESSIONS JUSTIFIED

The A minor etude of the same opuswas a corollary, and exhibited this timea fluent, firm right hand that dazzledwith beautifully shaded runs?in which,by the way, a characteristic of Gal-ston's pianistry was again prominentin the skillful though unusual andoriginal employment of the pedal toblend strange harmonies.

The third etude in Galston's group?No. 5 from the same opus?was a dem-onstration of a united ambidextrous-ness, ending with octaves impeccablyplayed in both hands.

The Schumann G minor sonata wasbeet of all. In it Galston found thatnice adjustment of mentality and tem-perament the presentation of which ishis finest and at once one of therarest of gifts.

The concert, managed by Frank W.Healy, completely justified first im-pressions of Galston, who denoted him-s-elf to be a richly gifted virtuosa witha delightful message of sanity andbeauty in piano playing.

PETER MARTINILIKESPARTAN BOY OF OLD

Yonne«ter With Gun as BedfellowGrins and Bean It When It

Punctures His ShoulderThe Spartan boy, who concealed a

purloined fox in his tunic and let thebeast gnaw out his vitals rather thancry out and admit the theft, has amodern prototype in 14 year old PeterMartini, an inmate of the Boys' andGirls' Aid society In Baker street.

Peter was taken on probation tolive with Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thomp-son of Sebastopol, in 1910. He wasreturned to the home several monthsago. but the Thompsons invited himto spend the holidays with them, andthe invitation was accompanied by apair of roller skates.

He ef-fected a trade with Peter whereby Inexchange for 4he rusty gun he re-ceived the skates and 75 cents.

Peter secreted the revolver beneaththe pillow of his bed at the Thomp-son home. Thursday night after re-tiring he endeavored to unload it be-neath the blankets and it was dis-charged when the hammer became en-tangled in the bed coverings. Thereport was muffled and failed toarouse the Thompsons. Peter keptquiet, although a wound In his armpained him Intensely.

MONEY! GIVEITTO BEGGARS? NOT

I!-MRS.STOCKER"Lucky,, Baldwin's $10,000,-

--000 Daughter Can't Un-derstand Why Folks

Ask Her for Aid

" 'KER-PLUNK, WOULDGO MYDIAMONDS"

First Experience of Realiz-ing the Responsibilities of

Wealth Displeases Her

"When Mrs". Clara Baldwin Stocker,flushed with the recent accession ofmillions from the estate of her latefather, "Lucky" Baldwin, voiced hercare free attitude toward wealth inthe words:

"I spend money?lots of money?for anything, everything, all the time,"she gave thought only to the pleasures

of a great fortune, not to any of theresponsibilities.

Life looked like one long drawn out"spending jag" for the favorite daugh-ter of the California millionaire, andthe way she began her fun startledeven blase old Broadway, where Pitts-burg Iron kings and Goldfield goldbugs have long burned up the asphalt.

Sho paid 1300.000 for diamonds andannounced she would buy just as manymore as suited her fancy. She boughta private car for $40,000 ?the 'finestIn the world, according to railroadmen. She bought a yacht. She bought

furs and gowns and jewels and hiredservants galore.

Also, she came to San Francisco tospend New Year eve.

But yesterday, for the first time sinceshe came Into her $10,000,000 legacy,she began to wonder whether owner-,ship of riches brought only happiness.Her coming here had been heraldedfrom afar, and yesterday morning whenher mail arrived there was a coalscuttle full of letters that set Mrs.Clara Baldwin Stocker to thinking.ALL WANT ONE THING?MONEY

They were "begging letters," such asevery person of wealth receives by thescore, from every variety of sourceunder the heavens. Some were gen-uine, of course; others were rank fakes,but they all wanted one thing?money.

"You are so rich/ the letters mostlystarted that way. "Give us some ofyour money."

Mrs. Stocker pretended to be indif-ferent, but she read them as she satin her sumptious apartments at theSt. Francis. She said she did not enjoythe experience.

One of the letters wa,s from a me-chanic who said he could make a liv-ing if he only had an aeroplane. CouldMrs. Stocker?the rich, Mrs. Stocker?buy him one little machine?

"No, Mrs. Stocker can not buy onelittle machine," mimicked the heiress, asshe laid the note aside.

She picked up another. It wae froma little girl, just turned 15 years, whoneeded money to pay for training hervoice, so she could "support poor mam-ma and dear old dad in their decliningyears." The human interest touch inthis letter likewise failed to reachLucky Baldwin's daughter.NOT WEARING BEST GENS

"My diamond collection would go'ker-plunk' right now if I tried to grantall their requests." she said, at thesame time fondling the sparkling jewelsthat fairly covered her hands andwrists.

"I suppose all rich women are both-ered with such letters," she continued,with a sigh, "but it is something newto me. I rather hoped that in SanFrancisco, where everybody is so pros-perous, my mail would be normal."

She has yet to learn there is one kindof "touch" that is universal.

Mrs. Stocker's husband, who is a ro-tund, jovial person, immensely pleasedwith his wife, walked up and down theroom while Mrs. Stocker talked aboutthe letters, but when she mentioned thediamonds that are her particular fetishhe became interested at once.

"By the way," he put in, suddenly,"I'm sorry the papers said we carry allour diajnonds about with us. We don't,at all. "We keep them in a vault, wherethey are safe. These Mrs. Stocker iswearing are handsome, but they wouldnot be worth a thief risking his per-sonal liberty to get."

Stocker is in mortal terror that somebold bandits will make a raid on theirapartments or their car and murdereverybody to gain possession of thejewels. His wife is not at all afraid.NEW YEAR PLANS INCOMPLETE

"Nobody will try to steal our dia-monds until they have tried to beg

them away from us," she said.She and her husband are undecided

Just where to spend New Year eve,although a Jubilant celebration was oneof the things that brought them here.Mrs. Stocker has only a few plane.

"I think I will drees me up In along, white gown with a train," shesaid, "with plenty of ermine trim-mlnge and things to match. Then Iwillput on a few of these diamonds, loop astring or two of pearls around my

neok and go forth and see the sights.

I might take in a theater or two, butI'm not sure. Then 111 have dinnerin some nice place where the orchestraisn't too tump-te-tumpty, and afterthat?well, I suppose I'll join in themerry throng. Who knows?"
