The Hotel Fire at San Francisco
MANUSCRIPT OF "SHERLOCK HOLMES" BURNED.
Among the losses of valuables at the fire in the Baldwin Hotel Theatre at San Francisco (says the correspondent of the "Daily Mail") was Mr. William Gillette's dramatization of Dr. Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes," the five acts of which were complete. There is no duplicate. Mr. Frohman, the manager, last night sent by special train from New York new costumes and scenery for "The Secret Service," which will be used in Monday's production at another theatre. Mr. Frohman's loss by fire is probably one hundred thousand dollars in manuscripts, scenery, and costumes.
