A
difficulty of a most unpleasant character occurred at the Olympic
Amphitheatre on Friday evening which we hope will never again be repeated
in San Francisco. Mr. McCron in the character of Richard forgot what
is due to the dignity of the character to the profession in which
he is engaged and to the public, and presented himself before the
audience in an improper condition. A difficulty ocurred between him
and Mrs. Kirby, an appeal to the audience was had and the dreadful
question of nationality raised. Of course the audience sided with
the Lady. Mr. McCron was hissed, sought in vain to stem the disapprobation
and was removed from the stage by the management. The performances
were then concluded with scenes in the circle. As a proof of the estimation
in which the proprietors Messrs. Rowe & Long are held it is only necessary
to say that scarcely a person left the house, and at the conclusion
of the performance the audience gave nine cheers for the proprietors
and Mrs. Kirby. We learn that Mr. McCron is desirous of making a public
apology for the indignity offered to the public of this city and we
believe that they may overlook this first offence and permit him again
to appear in their presence - we have that much confidence in the
generosity of the American public. The performances this evening will
consist of the pretty Scotch drama of "the Two Drovers" - in which
a new candidate for public favor will present himself - and other
entertainments. |
