Larry Doyle as "Golightly" caught the
house, which was in an uprOar from the
time the curtain went up until it went
down.
Miss Arthur as "Mrs. Phobbsn played the
part charmingly. Mr.. Leonard was an ex-
cellent Captain Phobbs;" in fact the entire
support did well whatever it had to do. At

Mr.. Hanley's conception Of the role OF the
great English actor was an admirable one.
He received a round Of applause as he APP
peared on the stage, and at the close Of
the first act he retired amid applause, but
was recalled with Miss Tyndale and the
entire cast Those Of the audience who have
seen Mr.. Hanley'J acting during the last
three years could not fail to see
the development under the Booth Barrett
training. His acting of "Garrick" was
beyond doubt the best effort in
which he has yet been seen.
Mr.. Seaman as "Ingot." the rich old
East Indian, played the part admirably.
The dialogues il the first act between
"Garrick and "Ingot," and between On
got and his daughter, were capitqlly done.
Mr.. Scaulans effor5 was appreciated by the
audience, and he was recalled at the eud of
the act
Miss Tyndale was charming ada
She has already, by her acting, established
herself as a favorite with Savannah au-
diences.
Miss Arthur played farcical part, that
of "Araminta," and she played it as she
does every part, with a zest and vivacity
that never fails to please. All of the sup
port was good, and the performance will g
on record as one of the Fords' many sue
