Billy Vans Minstrels will make their
first appearance in Savannah "Wednesday
night. Billy Van has number Of years
been conspicuous in various prominent
enterprises. His first notable minstrel en-
gagement was with AL G. Field several
years ago, when he created a hit. a pal
pable hit, throughout the country. After
leaving Field he held engagements with
Germans, and Primrose and Vests min
strels, and others. He has acquired the
art of catering TO the public and knowing
their likes and dislikes. He has organized
his company with much time, care and eX-
pense, selecting only the choicest Ameri-
can and foreign talent, and introducing in
addition extensive scenic, mechanical,
electrical and costume effects, involving
thousands of dollars. and prepared by
skilled painters, mechanics and designers.
Their are few more familiar or lasting
faces on the stage than that of the &c
centric comedian Joe OFT. His Star
Gazer' was seen here for the first time
last season, and made hit. 1t will be
repeated this season. The piece is de-
nominated IAN astronomical farce COM
edy," and as such lays more claim TO
plot than does the average farce com
edy. Still. the plot is not obtrusive and
no one who sees the piece may go away
with the idea that some one has been
trying to make him think too hard. OFT
takes the part of Prof. Jupiter Mars, an
astronomer in search of comet While
ne is engaged in this lofty pasttme he, in
turn, is pursued by Mrs. orbit, a widow,
with penchant for comets and the moth
er of Daylight Orbit, who is heiress to
several millions, provided a missing heir
does not turn up. Both the professor and
the widow are prosecuted. by an Italian
Villain who is not an Italian but an Irish
man, and is working in the interests of
the executor of the estate to which the
SRI IS heiress. 1t finally turns out that
the professor is really the heir, and, as
he marries the widow, the money is kept
n the family after all. The action of the
star GaZer' opens in the observatory of
the professor. and from there, after many
amusing situations, goes to the apartments
OF Or. Jimweed FenneH, where the audi
ence is introduced to the eighth wonder of
the world hydrogenozonic gas, and some
clever specialties. The final action is at
the home of Mrs, Olytemnestra Orbit,
where the remainder of the plot is brought
10 finish and the band plays Home,
sweet Home" incidental to all this are
the specialties and interludes given by ex-
ceedingly clever performers.
The name of ]. K. Emmett, who will
appear at the theater Oct. % and 26, is
safe one to conjure with in the estimc-
uon of American theater-goers. 1t is as
soclated only with the most agreeable
thlngs in the mimic art. His name has
become synonymous with Fritz" one of
tne most famous and delightful characters
IN the history of the drama of this coun-
try. All people know him, whether young
made happier by his fun and humor, more
sympathetic through his struggles and
touching sorrows. Fritz has become as
much of a household word as the most
famous poem in our literature. With such
agreeable associations connected with
MIN, IL is not at all surprising that the
talented young actor should receive such
cordial welcome everywhere. This season
ne comes in new garb, more substan-
ual and pleasing than before, if that is
possible. In his production of Fritz In
