Edward X. Potter Claims His Companies
Have Not Ceased Operations.
Edward E. Potter, general manager of
the Franklin Insurance Company of Phil

the Pacific Coast. A representative of his
Office informed THE CALL last Wednesday
that the Franklin and Williamsburg City
concerns had ceased writing in California
because they had declined to do business
at less than tariff rates and would not en-

Katherine Grey made her first appear
ance at the Columbia last night and was
very we'll received. The play was Bouci-
cault's delicious comedy, 1.-The Jilt, and
every seat in the handsome little theater
was occupied. 1t is many years since
1.-The Jilt" was seen at the California, and
comparison at this late day would see m
out of place. 1t is enough to say that the
play as presented by the Frawley Com
pany is in capable hands, ana the parts
are assigned with commendable care.
Miss Grey's conception of Lady Mill
cent is consistent, and though at times her
acting appeared stilted she conveyed to
her audience the character of the SEEM
ingly heartless firt, and there were other
times when her clever turning OF the bril-
liant lines fairly won the house. Nothing
more charming could be imagined than
pretty Belle Archer's dainty interpreta-
ton of Kitty Woodstock, Lady Millicent's
sister. She was a splendid foil for Miss
Grey, and no one wondered at the
bold young Irish sportsman laying
his heart at her feet. By word,
look and gesture she typified the
character of the artless, independent and
lovely young girl, and proclaimed herself
an artist to her finger tips. 7. D. Frawley
makes manly Myles O'Hara, and that is
saying good deal. Although unused to
character acting, Mr.. Frawley never over
does the Irish business" and his brogue
comes tripping from the tongue in way
which gives sincerity to its tones. For
the rest the characters were capably por-
trayed, Miss Hope Ross deserving men

thoroughly at home. Her personal

her musical numbers were raptnrously en-

The demurrer was overruled, and the
Controller was given ten days to answer.
