Saturday matinee and night-"Pulse
of New York"
The anglicized version of I'Ami Fritz,
as played by the Manola Mason company,
at yesterdays matinee and last night
was a delightful performance. There
are few cleverer companies that come to
Savannah than that in which Mr.. and
Mrs. Mason are the stars, and which is
made up of such actors as Seth Grand and
Robert McWade Friend Fritz has a
charming plot, which develops with both
grace and strength. Each succeeding act
makes crest demands upon the abilities
of the actors, the interest increases at
every step and the denOuement brings
everything to an end happily. There are
no strained effects, and withal
but little incident. Mr. Mason and Miss
Manola were the central figures Miss
Manola's presentation Of the farmer s
daughter Susel, is as charming a piece Of
acting as has been seen in the theater in
long time. 1t is an Interpretation in the
sense in which that much abused word
was originally meant to be applied. Not
a few actresses have the faculty Of APP
precating a character with out the power
OF acting it, and quite as many act
their parts with no SORT Of appreciation.
Miss MauOla divines what should be
done and does it.
Mr.. McWade, as the Rabbi Sichel, was
peculiarly happy, and won the audience
almost upon his appearance. At last
nights performance 4 pretty souvenir
pm was given.
BARLEY Campbell's interesting romantic
drama of life and love in Russia, the far
famed Siberia" will be presented to-
morrow and Tuesday nights. 1t is now
elFFen years since Siberia" was first
produced, and yet all accounts agree that
