One Of the events Of the midwinter sea-
son will be the reappearance of the graceful
and clever Miss Lewis. She made a hit in
Credit Lorraine the early part Of the sea-
son. which induced the management to
arrange q return date for her. She will ap-
pear this time as LENA Despardn in "As in
a Looking Glass; which is Miss Lewis own
version Of the famous novel, and entirely
different from the Lilly Langtry dramati-
zation
A critic finds occasion to remark of Miss
Lewis: Her representation of the intense
and almost tragic role Of Lena Despard1
never loses any of its freshness and origi-
nality, but seems to increase each season in
finish and artistic merit. 1t is "A compli-
ment even to great emotional actress that
she should be able to rise 20 the tragic
power and lurid splendor of the character
OF 'Lenora,' and invest it with a coloring
that Is not merely theatrical but distinctly
and irresistibly human. This Miss Lewis
admirably succeeds In doing. and it is con-
elusive evidence Of her genus that she re-
deems the character from the category of
the artificial and makes 1t culver with passion
and thrill with real interest," Such splendid
people support Miss Lewis that she is ena-
bled TO give as finished a performance as
one Is only accustomed to seeing by DAILY

The much interviewed Lillian Lewis has
been getting interviewed again. Here
is an extract from the Chicago
Herald from column chat with
the fair Lillian: "The public of
to-day requires just as much virtue and
purity from the drama and from it's expon-
ents as from the pulpit and its disciples. 1t
| Is Tor this very reason that the drama is
| progressing. The actors and actresses Of to-
| day are more cultured, more refined, more
genteel by birth and education than the
actors fifty years ago were. The men In the
profession look, speak, behave, live. and
dress like gentlemen and, from personal
observation. can say that they
are gentlemen. Women, IN my
opinion, are naturally better than
men; by nature they do not incline
toward evil, their sentiments, like their
bearing, is gentle. The woman does not
live who does not wish to be as beautiful as
possible. 1t is this love of the beautiful
which makes her character noble. know
a great many actresses, taken as a class,
boldly say that they are good wives and
mothers, pure, undetermined, and generous. y
The "Willing Workers" and "Adolph
Cremieux" bands of the Daughters of Israel
announce an entertainment exclusively by
children. Probably the most successful en-
tertalnment by children, from an artistic
standpoint, ever given in Savannah was

Now, as then, the children are being coached
by Mrs. Roth, Mrs. Selig, Mrs. Wolf, Mrs
Haas and other ladies. 1t is understood
that several gentlemen prominently CON
