10 SATURDAY EVENING OAKLAND TRIBUNE DECEMBER 12, 1903 Patti Liable to Get a Frost in. San Pol itical Patronage Across the Bay-' The Theaters 5 Francisco. i but the stage manager has crowded it Then why will San Francisco not stand for Patti? As soon as Patti announced her determination to tour this country for am convinced a great error. big-hearted people of the West are willing to stand for almost anything in the way of a clever fake but when it comes to coughing up $5 and $10 a Is the champion of all champions. At last they are going to have new people at Fischer's.

Kolb and Dill, Maud Amber, Barney Bernard, Blake and all the rest of the'lmitators are to full of popular songs of the most recent vintage. 'Ferris Hartman is the stage Practically all of the old favorites have been engaged for the opening run. Later the Strauss and similar operas of the," German and the purpose of gathering all of the throw to. hear; the grandmother of all email gold lying idle. Manager Leahy living songbirds warble the arias 'of political annex -1 hear will have the leavings.

i It will be remembered that sheriff -elect Curtis was endorsed by the labor people' after he the Democratic nomination. As a result of that endorsement Abe Ruef nearly fell out with his political boss because the said master of Abe was particularly desirous of securing that endorsement for Henry H. Lynch, the Republican candidate. Curtis was given the endorsement by the labor people in consideration of his securing certain support for Mayor Schmitz and upon the promise to turn over half of the office patronage French schools will be produced on elaborate scales. Good luck for the Jl Jl All this talk about John C.

Lynch. Collector of Internal Revenue, going to be side tracked as the manager of the Republican Party in California is ridiculous. Lynch is the m03t comnetent of the Tivoll and Impressario Green-baum instituted negotiations to exploit her at the New. TivolL When they thought they had the diva signed for keeps they discovered "that Manager Friedlander of Fischer's was doing business with the advance man of the prima' donna that. was.

How they came to discover this is a 'funny story and r-" a short one too. One day a letter was handed to Doc Leahy addressed in- the usual fashion of a business communication. The outside of the envelope bore the legend, if a plenty of calcium' and a bundle' of epigrams besides the necessary coloring in good, strong, vivid tones. The characters will be highly tinted snap-shot photographs. i' A year ago Mrs.

Atherton went direct to Munich where, she took a house. There Bhe has resided ever since and there she will read the proofs of her new volume. As soon as the' book is ready for the market she will leave Germany $nd in all probability return here to her old friends and i -Mrs. Atherton has made a large fortune out of her writings. "The Conquerors" has thus far netted her over $30 000.

"In the Splendid Idle 0V' is in "its second edition and ahe has half a dozen other well paying books in the shops. Incidentally she his been doing a lot of magazine work" at fancy figures, and some newspaper stuff that paid handsomely. While she lives well she la not an extravagent woman. I suppose she has cleaned up over all told with the aid of her pen. Not bad that for a San Francisco society belle.

The-path along which Mme. Patti will trip during her very last farewell visit to this city will be strewn with thorns as well as roses. In fact there is a serious question1 as to whether there will be any roses. Her coming to this country on a SAN FRANCISCO. December 12.

Gertrude Atherton who now enjoys Ihe reputation of being the foremost 'Woman novelist In all the 'world, has Just 4 completed her new book which will published) by the Macmillans arty In the spring. The story deals with royalty of the (German type and I understand his JMajesty Emperor William is, one of the characters. 1 haven't heard Just fcow Mrs. Atherton has handled the liaise Jtiut'l am inclined to believe ehe has; manipulated! his gracious Majesty without gloves. I get my impres- elon from 'the fact that Mrs.

Atherton ijwill not be within the confines of the berman Empire' when the I volume is placed on Uhe market. i The heroiof the book is. ant American. "he scene spreads overjthe continent En4 mostof the1 people i described and idealt withare "Ijuds, Jukea! Herrs" nd the "LoSdys" of set. For over a year, Mrs.

Atherton has Jbeen-brushlnghip against' theseheaven-ky mortals so it Is a certainty that the portraitures will bo life-like. She Is the. sort' of woman to (take other people's Impressions of persons or jeventa when it is possible for her to 'Mew them herself and form her own opinions and conclusions. As a result 'jrwe will be introduced to royalty and Its accompaniment in' anew and I pre- crisp, novel light. There will be pack their, trunks and go.

Sam Friedlander," president of the' International Glad Hand Society, is now in the East hiring new people for the comtog burlesques and musical farces. They will have to get a bunch of hardworking and somewhat 4 clever performers to properly succeed the present bunch. While originality has beeft lacking in all of the shows at Fischer's the imitations of the Weber-Fleldlans have not been so bad as the Eastern snob would have us think. For my part I would rather have a fair imitation of a really good thing than a bad bit of originality. lt ie The method of distributing the patronage of the sheriff's office is the riddle the local politicians are trying to solve.

think the sheriff has the giving of something like seventy-six Jobs carrying fair salaries as salaries go. So far as I can learn the Democratic organization is to have thirty-six of these places and the remaining forty are to be distributed among the labor people. Now whether Abe Ruef Is to have no delivered, return to the mana the masters in transposed keys it is too much very much too much. Mme. Patti's place Is in her castle in Wales, not on the public stage, trilling chills at highway robbers' rates.

Notwithstanding', the press "notices that' been wired here from the Kast eulogizing the wonderful remnant of voice; retained by the it is a notorious fact that Patti is a thing of I the past and as such we should regard her. We have "all been taught 'to revere' the past and to respect age but it is utterly impossible to take, the past seriously Patti farewells are permitted, But that is not th view-point taken by the managers when they are planning a hold-up of the dear old San Francisco public. figure us as easy and argue thus: I San Francisco stood for Jeffries and Ruhlin. San Francisco stood for Jeffries and Corbett. San Francisco stood for Jeffries and Fitzsimmons.

San Francisco stood for Fitzsimmons and Gardner. to the men' who toil. Curtis delivered this occult support to the mayor and now Abe Ruef will have his further reward. The New Tivoll will open its doors to the public early during the week of December 21. From those familiar with the scheme of decoration, I learn the theater is to "be one of" the most handsome show houses in America.

The new house regulations will differ from the rules that obtained In the "Little Opera House Around the Corner." Smoking will not be allowed on either of the lower floors. There will be an upper -promenade, gallery, how man that ever held the Job and he suits the powers that be. He did all a man could do during the recent municipal campaign under the circumstances. The stories that he made a mess of the supervlsional nominations Is absurd. After the Republican convention adjourned Lynch announced that a number of the supervisorial candidates could not possibly be elected.

These nominees were concessions to 7 factions and districts. Lynch had nothing to do with their going on the ticket. The men he said would meet with defeat were all snowed under. net Lawrence Walsh, is to be re-appointed school director. This time he gets a four-year term.

Walsh is one of the most prominent members of the Horset and Carts end of the local Democracy. THE KNAVE. gers of Mme. Patti. Leahy opened it and" discovered that the letter enclosed was meant for Friedlander.

So he immediately suspended further negotiations with the mother of modern song. Friedlander is to exploit Patti in tbe Mechanics Pavilion. That historic structure -witnessed the farewells of Corbett and FiUsimmons but whether the 3Iva will draw as well as these other old-time champs is a question. will take so much to fit up the Pavilion so that Patti can be heard that Friedlander is already getting c.ld feet' over the proposition. I understand he is now trying to turn over the man- ever, where cigars, cigarettes and grog will be permitted after fashion of the old place.

Incidentally there will be a splendid cafe attachment with elevator service, etc. "Ixioh" will be the opening piece. It a bit moss grown the say in the giving of all of these Jobs none can say but there is an impression that he will not be able to dispose of more than half of them.
