a St. Louis paper has this to say of a
we'll known Savannah actor: Mr. James
Neill, who has been seen at the Olympic
this week with Felix Morris, is one Of the
! best leading men on the stage to-day. He
is much sought after by the managers
/ who want conscientious, steady and re-
| liable man to do leading parts. hlr Neil
was with some of the best stars on the
road for some time having played the
/ titular role in 1.-The Ensign for the past
| several seasons. His work is always bright
and free from any faint of horse play"
His humor and pathos is of the sponta-
neous order, and carries with it such mag
/ netism that he wins his auditors over TO
| him before he has been on the stage any
| length of time. His work at the Olympic
! this week has been of the highest order"
! Mr. Neill is having a very successful sea-
/ son. He will play in Boston this week
Mrs. Potter and Mr.. Bellew are playing
! to very large business at the Coriuthian
! Theater, Calcutta; at the conclusion of
! their engagement there they proceed 70
