Kendall Will Be Seen at the. Macdonough Idora Park Secures Some Clever Vaudeville Artists. The LI? Vandercool? Go. 101S BROADWAY, OAKl'-AND mi A The coming to this city of the well-known comedian, Ezra Kendall, should prove a theatrical event of more than or-dinary importance, for everybody inter-: ested In amusements Is familiar with Mr, Kendall's unique on the stager The actor-humorist Js a rare combination i Indeed, and yet in Mr. Kendall we find the embodiment of both gifts.

On every Jrw and. Room 32, 2nd Floor, 6 i I It would require a whole column to describe the excellent work of the principals In 'both the travesties, "Quo Vass Iss" and "The Big Little Prin-cess." It was little short of marvellous how interesting and how even the first production -of the latter was given, considering the fact that all the characters represented children, and were enacted by big men and women like Blake, Kolb, Dill jand Maude Amber. Winfleld Blake looked for all the world like a child of twelve, and played the part with a great deal of originality and vivacity. It both "Quo Vass Iss" and "The Little Princess," he displayed his usual versatility and demonstrated his capabilities beyond anything he has yet done at this house. Maude Amber gave an exquisitely funny and tender rendering of the "star pupil" of the academy, and offered one of the most effective songs of the season In "De -Bugaboo Man." Eleanor Jenkins, the'new addition to Fischer's company, did work of a most convincing kind.

She possesses an excellent voice, and sang "There's Nobody Just Like You" charmingly. Hope and Emerson, had a new song and dance, "You Am de One," which took so well that they had to respond to several encores. Charlotte Vidot look- with a great double bill, and another long run is a certainty. The sciaery was a feature of both "Quo Vasa.Iss" and "The Big Little Princess." "IN HARVARD" HAS 1 SCORED A SUCCESS. "In Harvard" has scored an Immense hit at the Grand Opera House, which is packed to the doors nightly.

The dally press Is enthusiastic over its merits and pronounces it the most gorgeous and complete production ever presented in San Francisco. Raymond and Caverly continue the greati est favorites of any German dialect comedians we have had Their new songs and parodies have made immense hits, and the audiences appear not to be able to get enough of them, for they encore them to an extent that is unreasonable. Cherldah Simpson also comes in for hearty and frequent applause. Her Japanese serenade and coon song are delightfully rendered, and when seated at the piano she gives imitations of a music-box, an auto-harp and a country girl playing one of Sousa's marches in a number of different keys, she excites great en- bookstall the 'country will be found, 'copies of one or more of the comedian's and there are few, if any. theaters of Importance in America, which have not resounded with' laughter occasioned by fthe presence on the stage of Ezra Kendall.

The present season's starring tour ln-; traduces Mr. Kendall In a play especially written for the display of. his talent, en-titled, "The Vinegar Buyer," The piece Is modestly described as worthy play for a worthy-, player. Joe Miller, Mr. Kendall's role.

NEW ATTRACTIONS AT IDORA PARK Idora Park still floats on 'the high tide of prosperity.

Smith and Clark do a musical act out i of the ordinary. They play on' numerous 'Instruments, their act being a combina-X tion of refined and comedy music.

Bo marked an impression has been made by Camille D'ArviUe since her return to the stage that the Tlvoll management has decided to continue "The Highwayman" for the coming week. The opera itself is decidedly one of the best works of those prolific producers.

Smith and DeKoven, and it was never put on With more elaboration than it has been at the Tlvoll. Miss D'ArviUe still has the beauty of voice apd charm of manner that made her' the queen of the coailc opera stage, and the part of Lady Constance Sinclair exactly suited for a display of her talents. Chief among the support Is Edwin Stevens in the great part of Foxy Quiller, the Bow street detective, with his crew of weird assistants. Arthur Cunningham has been doing splendid work alsoin fact, his fine baritone was never heard to better advantage.

In the midst of what has been a rather strenuous wees: many- respects there comes from Chicago the voice of Senator "Depew, crying Into the ness to young mert to get married" as soon as they can support a wife. He objects to the plea that a man should wait until he has accumulated a little surplus not only for htmselfvand wife, but for the possible children of the marriage. He says early marriages are best'' I This statement would be much more effective if the author of it were not himself a contradiction of his own theories.

He says that marriage ought to come in the adolescent years, but according to his "obituary. in the Congressional directory, furnished by himself. Ehe did not marry the first time until he was 37, by which time he had accumulated a fortune and had a position which gave him many opportunities for in creasing it. so that he is now ranked as a Very considerable millionaire. It is so easy for those who have never felt the pinch of poverty, who have -never had even to make any sacrifices oh the hymeaneal and domestic altar; to en courage those with nothing to get toar- ried, but we rather incline to believe ihat the common sense of the young mm of the country is rlghttfully leading them to be careful how they rush rashly Into a state which means more than doubling their expenses.
