The Columbia State says, editorially, of
Lawrence Hanley: ut Is very seldom that
the State takes editorial notice Of q per-
Torrance at the theater, but Mr. Hsnley,
his company and his play, are each worthy
OF this extraordinary exception. A native
of Savannah. where his family still live,
and but IS years Of age Mr. HanIey Is
worthy Of the pride of the south. The
Player in which the young actor appears,
is peculiarly suited to displaying his versa
tilIty. in tragedy and comedy he is equally
excellent. On his next visit to Columbia,
Mr.. Hanley and his company will receive
welcome which will do justice TO the refine
ment and taste of our people,"
