''The Silver King at Two Perform
ances-''Yon Yonson" Tonight
The Silver King was given at two per-
formances yesterdays matinee and at
night-to as enthusiastic audiences as
ever witnessed the play in Savannah.
The company is a good one That is
one of the elements, or perhaps the prin-
cipal element. upon which the success
full production of the piece depends. It's
merit is we'll known and beyond question.
Tonight Yon YoEson will be seen for
the first time by a Savannah audience
The play has made a hit everywhere it
has been presented in the south. The adj
vance sale of seats is an assurance of its
success here. The author of Yon NOn-
son and the creator of Swedish dialect
comedy in this country is Mr.. Gus Heege,
who has also the additional advantage
of delineating his own character. His
combination of strange and thrilling mel
dramatic scenic effects with the comedy
character of the Swedish emigrant is a
daring innovation upon accepted rules,
but Judging from the manner in which
the play has been received, it has proved
a very happy one. The humorous, the
pathetic and the spectacular win be quite
as likely to please the average theater

role by the author-actor that the more
cultured will doubtless find most sat
isfaction, and it is in this that the per-
Torrance eXcels, it is claimed. There is
nothing of caricature about Mr.. Heege's
work 1t is q characterization as quaint
as it is original.
The sale of seats for Jane" will begin
tomorrow morning. The play will be
seen here Friday and Saturday nights
and at a Saturday matinee. The story
briefly told is as follows; A reckless
young man has been getting money from
his guardian on the statement that he
has an extravagant wife. He has really
no wife at ALL and when the guardian
suddenly appears on visit it is necessary
to provide something that will at least
look like a wife. The young man pro-
vides himself with an alleged helpmate,
and his butler obligingly provides him
with another Then. a child is needed
and found. Another is needed and not
found, but is accounted for. The mother
of the first child comes and demands it.,
and the butler who is the real husband of
the masters pretended wife, tires of the
game and exposes the whole trick. The
butler and the maid servant are reunited,
the mother RECEIVERS the child, and a
pretty girl comes forward ready to be
married to the hero, while the guardian
beams, forgives everybody and pays all
the DEBTS.
Monday night Hoyt's "A Black Sheep
will receive it's first presentation in Sa-
Nannah. "a Black Sheep is the latest
work of this clever playwright and it has
been pronounced his best The New Or
leans Times-Democrat of Oct. 8 has the
following:
For two hours and a half the large
audience at the academy last night
laughed and shouted until they We're
actually tired. "A Black Sheep" one of
the best plays ever written by Charles
Hoyt, and he has written few in his
DAYS. was the cause of all the trouble.
The piece came here heralded by fine
notices, and yet in some cases the no
tees did not give it its just dues"
