SIXTY NIGHTS BOOKED FOR TIE
THBATER so FAR

The Season to Open Aug. 2o-South-
ern Managers Having Their Pick of
Attractions on Account or the Presi-
Dental Canvass in the North and
West-Regret That Fay Templeton
Would Not Come to Savannah.
Manager johnson is filing up his theatre
cal lists early this year. So far he has
booked sixty nights-about half the entire
| seasons emusements. The list includes
some Of the new attractions that have
fitted across the horizon of the theatre
cal world in the last season or two. Besides,
it includes most of the standard companies.
A presidential year is a bad year for thea
ters in the north and west, and the rush is
to the states that are counted sure for one
party or the other. The south and Canada
always get run during the fall Of presi,
Dental election years. A theater cannot
stand a torchlight parade without being
knocked OUT, and it is this fact that brings
SO many companies to the south during the
early season of presidential years. In con-
sequence all southern managers will have
the pick of the attractions for the next three
| months
The season In Savannah will open Aug.
20 with George Wilson's MINISTRIES. There
are but two other attractions for August
They are After Dark and Sadie Scan
| Ian. September is about half filed. The

Manager johnson regrets that he was VI: :.
able to bring the Fay Templeton company
to Savannah. The date had been fixed for
Tuesday and Wednesday nights of this
week. Night before last Manager Sanford
S, Cohen, who is managing the tickle Fay
in the south, telegraphed that he regretted
! DeluR uudUl6 20 play III SdNduuhQ.
! Templeton closed her Atlanta engagement
Friday night and left for New York yes
terday. She created quite a sensation in
| Atlanta by her career. The story of her
relations with Howell Osborne was written
up by the Atlanta papers and gave the
vivAeious vacillating singer any amount of
advertising. Her engagement In Savannah
| would have been an event, as there was
general interest to see her.
Charles Hanford has succeeded In secur-
Ing an ideal Caesar for his Forthcoming pro-
| duction of the great Shakespeerean tragedy.
| His idea Of the physical requirements for a
| successful personatlon of the great general
| is decidedly in advance OF the usual careless
| attention on the part of managers as to his
topical accuracy. Edward n. Hoyt, whom
he has just engaged for the role, Is spoken of
| as an almost exact counterpart of the ad-
mirable bust of Julius Caesar in the British
museum, described by John G. Ropes in
Scri6ner's Magazine.
Roland Reed is one of the couutry's ri CHI
actors. He prefers city 30 country prop
| erty for investment. he has recently
bought beautiful place In New YORK. His
snuggery is an unique place. On the walls
are show bills of Mr.. Reed in all his big
successes, and prettily framed is a letter
which brought him his first engagement as
a comedian at $25 week.
The new play called "Rohan the Silent -
which Saivini is to produce in conjunction
with "Cavalleria Rusticana" next season,
will likely prove a crucial test OF bis his
trionic ability from the Delsartian stand
point. 1t is one-act piece, and plays for
about an hour, and although on the stage
/ nearly all the time he utters no word until
the denouemene, just as the curtain falls
The piece is romantic in story and offers
unique opportunity for young Salvini to do
some serious and trying pantomime work.
In the list Of plays which have had very
long runs in New York, "A Trip TO China
town. at present stands No, 5. "Adonfsn
ran 800 nights. and "Humpty Dumpty" and
Hazel Kffke" nearly 800 each. The Two
Orphans" comes next with 1926 nights, and
then "A Trip" which up to date has POS
| consecutive performances TO its credit, with
| the promise of running not alone during the
| present summer but all of next season.
