Frederic BrytOn in FOrgiven-A
Special Matinee To-MOrrOw.
Frederic Bryton was seen at the theater
last night in Clay Greene's romantic
drama, Forgiven. Mr.. Bryton was here
early in the season, and his presentation
both then and last night was thoroughly
enjoyed. His second appearance was in
the nature of a return engagement and
the presenting company was the same as
was first seen here. Miss Pauline Baxter,
who has the leading part, plays it IN a
strong and finished manner. Her acting
is finished and emotional. l.. ]. Lorlng
as Denver Dan, was typical of the dead
game but honest sport. Edwin Forsburg
as Frank Popham, a back number and
J. ]. Shaw, as Willard Graham, the viii
liam in the piece were both good.
Forgiven will be repeated at a special
matinee tomorrow afternoon. The
piece is one of the strongest
and best that has been
given here this season, and both times it
has been presented, it was received By
appreciative audiences. 1t is a strong
and realistic melodrama, the scenes of
which are prettily laid, and the action OF
the piece is well sustained
throughout it's four acts. The play opens
In st. Augustine, is moved to New Or
leans and ends in Mexico, the picturesque
land of the 'greaser." The plot is a good
one, and through it runs story of love,
hatred and intrigue. The characters are
cleverly drawn and are in the hands of a
competent company. Mr.. Bryton, the star,
is an actor of the romantic type, who has
had a most successful career.
To-morrows matinee will be given es-
pecially for the ladies and children. and
admission to all parts of the house will
be 25 cents.
The dog and pony show will go to Bruins
wick this morning, where it will play the
balance Of the week. Sipe, Dalman and
Blake are newcomers in this section of
the country But they say they are so
much pleased with their reception that
they are coming again next season. No
small part of their success here is due to
the intelligent efforts of their press agent,
Mr.. Arthur B. Lindsey, who is one of
the most pleasant and competent men in
the business.
That delightful artistic, Emily Bancker,
who In so short a time has made herself
such a strong favorite with American the
ater-goers, will make her appearance in
Savannah tonight, presenting Our
ldt, Wnlcn ran continuously Tor over
two years at the Strand theater, London,
and 100 nights at Daniel Frohmans Ly-
ceum theater, New York The comedy
illustrates the comioal side of life in a
fashionable apartment house. 1t is brim-
full Of humor, and embraces ridiculous sit
uations, but underneath there is a cur
rent Of interest, which holds the attention
much more than the made-to-order fun of
the average modern farce comedy. The
pictures of fiat life'' are well drawn, and
the action, while lively, is not forced be-
yond the limits of probability. Miss
Bancker, the bright particular star of the
company, is said to be winsome in her
character Of mistress Of the fiat. She is a
woman of grace and ability. In the COM
pany supporting the star are Mr.. Ray
mond Capp Mr.. Harry Beresford, Mr.. j.
w. Cope, Mr.. James A. Herman, Miss
Elizabeth Roselle, Miss Ada Craven and
Miss Channez Olney.
