Roland Reed in "W oman Eeter."
Roland Reed will open the week with
"Woman Halter" tomorrow night. The
NAV is one of the cleverest of modern COM
edies, and has been one of the greatest hits
of recent years. The New York Sun thus
speaks of it: An immense amount of
laughter was provoked at the Fourteenth
Street theater by Roland Reed and 1.-THE
Woman Halter" The unusual merriment
was caused in about equal proportions by
the actor and the play, and both were jovial
revelations. Mr.. Reed had appeared in New
York as burlesquer, ana later in hardly
less extravagant farcial efforts, but here he
made his first important essay as a legiti-
mate comedian. An old bachelor, profess
ing hatred OF women, but really susceptible
10 their charms, becomes simultaneously
engaged to marry three widows. The theme
is old enough. and the manner of the mans
ensuing troubles, If not exactly the matter,
can be easily imagined. The Incidents are
brisk and comical, however, and they are
wrought out with much wit and humor.

The Marie Greenwood Comic Opera Com
pany will play three nights engagement
on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
opening with Won Loppe's, "Boccaccio, +"
and playing "The Hermit" Thursday matt
nee and night, and "Girohe Girofia" Friday
night. Miss Greenwood will be seen for the
first time in Savannah. She is a southern
girl and was born in Macon. Both she and
her company have received the most favora-
BILE Endorsement wherever they have been,
and theater goers will not be disappointed in
anticipating excellent performances. Miss
Greenwood has just closed an engagement
in Charleston, and the NetVs and Courier
says Of her: mo higher compliment can
be paid to the lyric accomplish
ments Of Miss Greenwood than
to say that she sings with the same
modest, unsssuming and yet touching and
artistic method that marked her engage
ment here last year," Miss Greenwood is
supported by company which has re-
celved the highest praise. The sale of seats
will begin Tuesday morning.

some Things About tho Brighter Sex
That Men DO Not Undorstand.

Inat Wen DO MT Onuorotouus
A woman sees more things in heav-
en- and earth than are dreamed Of in
mans philosophy.
She's as full of sweetness and chart
ty as man is full OF mule sense and
geotism.
She eau manage a man by making
the vain hulk believe he manages her.
She can tell you better how much
principle there is in man to the
square inch OF his face than you could
discover by a months dealing with him.
She will marry a man to reform"
him. and though clothed in rags de-
clare that she is happy with the brute.
She cant throw a stone because she
isn't built that way but she can fire a
world of pathos into an appeal for q
new dress that will burst the toughest
purse strings asunder.
She is usually more adept at making
matches than at striking them, and,
while she may not know how TO sharp
en- knife, she can in two minutes
hone up her tongue in way that will
make it sharper than "a two-edged
sword.
She may not be able to jump four
rallied fence, hut she jumps to conclu-
sions and nine times out of ten she
gets there while man is reasoning
it all out
She can quicken mans mental
faculties by giving him pieces of her
mind. She doesn't seem to feel the
loss. either.
True, she spends much of her time
before the glass; but so does a man,
only his too often has bead on it.
According to some, she was called
woman because she brought woe to
man. This Interpretation, however
is not only not scriptural, but is not
borne out by the facts.
She is also called conundrum; but
we will never give her up-never!
With all her faults We love her still.
But, as she is seldom still, we will
have TO throw the mantle of charity
over that one, too.
The perfect woman is a rara avis.
affirms the Detroit Free Press, and
should she by any accident cross
your path, young man, don't be disap-
pointed il you find her in quest Of a
perfect man.

POLLY AND TIE MINISTER.
Did They Have Family Prayer at sister
Robbin,' House?

Did They Lnve ram ~ irlyer at sister
Robbin,' House?
Sister Robbins lay upon her sick
bed, watching the clock the slant of
the sunbeams and occasionally talking
to her Polly-a -wise-looking and gray
parrot with glittering eyes and bril-
perhaps TO say that she replied to
Polly, for the parrot was by far the
more talkative.
There came rap at the door of the
room.
"Whoar' said Polly.
Come in, d" said Sister Robbins.
The visitor entered, and proved to
be the Methodist minister. Polly crept
to Mrs. Robbins and cuddled close up
to the lady's neck, laying her gray
pate close beside her mistress cheek.
After some conversation the minister
proposed to Sister Robbins that they
have "a season of prayer, and ac-
cordingly knelt by her bedside and
with closed eyes and devout voice be-
gan to pray.
Polly's eyes glittered more than ever.
She crept unnoticed from her place OF
refuge and with slow-lifted claws and
noiseless step over the white counter
pane went close to the unconscious
minister. She scanned him medita-
lively, and then, when her head was
so near his that you would have
thought his ear in danger of being
snapped off, she suddenly cried out in
the clearest tones, What in the world
are you doing?"
Sister Robbins finds it hard to con-
vince the minister that they have fam
lily prayers. He says Polly's evidence
is against her. Wide Awake.
