AT THE THEATRE.
Louis James and Marie Wainwright as
"Mephisto" and Gretchen"

"Mephisto" and Gretchen"
Booth and Barrett did not quite drain the
pockets of Savannah theatre goers. In
spite of the bad weather last night Louis
James and Marie Wainwright played
"Gretchenn to nearly full house. There
were worry few vacant seats down stairs and
the audience was made up of the most intel
ligent theatre-goers in the city-people who
are not seen ut every play, but only at the
best
"Gretchenn was played here for the first
time Although the author has only taken
the leading idea of Goethe's Faust and
has exchanged sarcasm and wit for poetry,
he has not failed to portray the character
of" Marguerite under that of Gretchen, y
nor has he dwarfed the devilish proportions
of "Mephistophelos" in the name of me
phistO.' Mr. James was a jolly, goOd-na-
tured, sarcastic, witty "Mephiston and
looked as well as he acted. He was an airy
breezy devil. His comedy was admirable.
but when force was required he showed that
he was equally master of eOcution in his
words. His "Mephiston is a companion
picture to Miss Wainwright's Gretchen
which is the chief charm Of the play No
role in which Miss Wainwright has ever
appeared here has given her better oppor-
tunities for the display of those natural
artistic advantages with which she is en-
dowed. That she could rescue Mr.. Gilbert's
peasant maid from the lackadasical depths
into which his text occasionally plunges her
is in itself a tribute to her art At all times
she was winning and earnest, and in the
closing scene she was even powerful
The play was finely mounted and the sup
porting company is well balanced and made
up of talented people Tonight Mr.. James
will appear in "Virginius" with Miss Vain
wright as ''Nirginian This is his strongest
play and in it he has made his great success.

last night. One of Feeley's carriages was
standing in front of Brens ticket office on
Bull street at o'clock. The driver left his
box for moment to assist Maj Bren into
the carriage, and the instant he stepped
down the horses started. They turned into
Broughton street, and before the driver
could regain his seat they Sprang
into a run. a crowd of boys began
yelling at them, but instead of stopping
the team ran the faster. At Drayton street
they made a quick turn toward the Bav.
The forward axle struck an iron turning
post ana brought things to a staGdstill. The
forward wheels were driven under the car
riage, clear against the hind axletree the
whitiietrees were broken, and all of the
running gear was pretty well demolished
