had put one set of the wooden grooves out
OF good working order. The theater man.
agement has promised that the faulty
grooves will be taken out at once and a
new set put in.
The company will play Richelieu to-
night II Mr. Clarke acquits himself as
well in the character of the willy cardinal
as he did in that of the melancholy prince
and past performances are an earnest
of things to come-he will have build
ed solidly for a great reputation, so far
as Savannah audiences are concerned.
Tomorrow, matinee and night. Katie
putnam VIII be seen in The Old Lime
Kiln. Miss Putnam is a favorite with
Savannah theater-goers.. The play in
which she will be seen this year Is by
the order of Old Kentucky. The play it
self is an example of the blending of SEN
sational incident, comedy and pathos.
Its presentation enlists the efforts of two
popular personages, Miss Putnam, whose
cleverness and talents have made her a
favorite coincidence, and Herbert Cav
thorn, an exponent of Irish character,
cessful star. The setting of the play is
rich in exclusive features. The famous
geyser, "Old Faithful" chief wonder of
the Yellowstone National Park. will be
reproduced in miniature, and will be
shown in action, spouting its stream of
commlngled water and steam. The yell
lowstone falls viii be shown with water
bounding over rocky cascades.
Stuart Robson's opening play Monday
night will be devoted to the revival of
the farce comedy forbidden Fruit" one
of the cleverest of the many clever COM
edies written by the late Dion Bouccault
II IS many years since this laugh-creat-
ing farce was produced, and theater-gO-
ers who once laughed through its three
acts, will hail the announcement that Mr.
Robson will be seen in his old part of
will see that the good old days beheld
character parallel with that of the present
time, the two law partners in proof of it,
1t was as Cato Dove that Mr.. Robson s
genius was first shown with such indvid-
uality that the young actor gained firm
footing. Forbidden Fruit" is not the to-
day style of comedy. 1t has a consistent
plot and genuine characters Dion Bouci-
cault was master of his art and drew
his characters from life. As the junior
member of the law firm, Mr. Robson S
delightful comedy will have full sway.
As the central figure of many amusing
complications, from which he finally sue
cessfully disadvantages himself, he has
abundant opportunities for comedy The
scene of the farce is laid in England and
special scenery has been painted for every
act The scene representing a railway
ticulariy interesting; 1t is in this play
that Mr.. Robson DISCUSSES himself and
assumes the character of a German, and
uses the German dialect.
An attraction that has occupied public
attention wherever ii has been presented
70 d greater degree than most entertain
ments, comes to the Masonic tenn
pie for two nights, commencing Mon
Day Nov. II, and to the theater for the
four succeeding nights. The features
presented by the Baldwins are almost
beyond understanding. They are called
the White Mahataus. The duplication of
so-called spritualistic manifestations
certainly surpasS anything of a similar
nature ever attempted, and in the dark
seances phases are introduced that bor-
der on the miraculous; but the great
attraction and wonder is the somnomancy
or clalrVoyant trance vision or MRS. Bald
win. This feature is the result of clair
voyant power developed to a point that
produces impressions and results that
fairly astound and bewilder the auditor.
Beyond the mere curiosity IL appeals to-
II is a source of relief and, although the
management claim to do no more than
give strange, bewildering and amusing
entertainment, the merit of which can
depend on the judgment of the audience,
there is certainly behind 1t all something
that strongly suggests the occult. Even
In lndia, the home of mystery, the land
OF the Mahatmas, Madame Blavatsky's
CHOSEN ground for wonder working and
theosophy; even there Mrs. BaldWin's
somnomancy and Prof. Baldwin's psy-
chometry created a sensation. The Bald
wins are accompanied by several high
class entertainers, who give a programme
or surprising and peculiar excellence.
