ances this week. Tomorrow nights per-
Torrance Of "a Novel Wager is for the
benefit OF the Russian refugees.
The chief attraction Of "The Dazzler' is
Kate Castleton. There are few more poPu-
lar actresses of her class that come TO Sa-
Vannah than she. In her present engage
ment she comes 10 an entirely new play,
but one OF the most successful, IL not the most
successful, in which she has ever appeared.
This Is how the Chicago Press described 10
when il was produced there a short time
ago: Bang! Whizll Rat-a-tat A vision of
perfect legs, CLEAN OF glistening tiny feet
-thud!ll Now you have a more realistic
Dazzler.' as seen in the Haymarket
than you could get by two columns Of
so-cailed analysis and description. Analy-
sis! There is nothing to analyZe.
There was a mighty rush and noise; the
audience gathered itself together and went
out into the cold and snow and naught re-
manned except the humiliation of q sound
that was Yet there was much to laugh at
and handsome women to admire and
bonnie Kate Castleton to captivate you
with her witching eyes, the play of mouth
too large for beauty. but great in its sug-
gestiveness of mischief and deviltrY, aud
her petite, voluptuous form, enhanced by
now-yOu-see and-now-You-dOn't maDner of
dressing and handling OF clothes. She,
possibly the most perfect of this troupe of
comedians, was the only one who
consistently adhered to skirts and
draperies. During the first act Of The
DaEzler' you unconsciously prepare for the
unfolding of plot But there is no plot.
1t Is nothing but combination Of caricat-
ures of character thrown together in q
multiplicity of absurd situations. There Is
no regard for anything except to provoke
laugh. and just about the time you are
prepared TO grin and bear the dizziness
something will happen which will make you
laugh uproariously. AS the play proceeds
these laughable incidents are more and
more frequent The women OF the COM
pany have exceptionally fine forms and 90
plenty Of kicking"
This week will witness the first appear
ance of the divine Bernhardb in Savannah
on her first tour Of the south. She will ap-
pear at two performances on Saturday. At
the opening performance, the matinee, she
will be seen in Camille" and at the night
performance in "La Toscs." There Is little
to be said of Bernhardt or the plays. Both
