To Our Subscribers.

During the present month state
ments have been sent to such OF our
subscribers as are in arrears to the
mi-Weekly GRAPmc. These state
ments of accounts are in pursuance
of the customary business policy,
and we hope our subscribers viii
receive them with good will and
make as early response as possible.
If any mistakes have been made in
any of these statements of account,
the same viii lie promptly and
cheerfully corrected at our business
ONCE.
During the last few years the
aRApnIc has been lenient with IFS
delinquent subscribers, and at the
same time has changed from a
weekly to asemi- Weeklynewspaper,
thereby giving its readers tive
napers a week, with more reading
matter, for the former price OF one.
Therefore we must ask those who
are indebted To lis for subscription,
to settle the same at once without
further delay. The GRAPHIC needs
money and has earned that which Is
due 1t. and there is no reason why
It's subscription accounts should not
be paid the same as other accounts.
Those who are in arrears to the
GRAPHIC win therefore save them
selves time and trouble by settling
their indebtedness at once.

The Savannah Daily News has the
following notice Of Bancroft, the ma-
gieian, who recently played an en-
gagement in that city: People
went to the theater last night ex-
peeting something new and unique
in the line of magic from Bancroft
the magician, whom they had heard
great leal OF, and they We're not
disappointed. His entertainment
combines scenic effects, terpsiehorean
specialties, Japenese jugglery etc.
with a sleight of hand and higher
class magic. At the same time, how
ever. Bancroft is the life and soul oi
the show. His deXterity is simply
marvellous. There is not a trick
that he attempted but was performed
in a simply perfect manner. lie is a
master of his art. And besides being
master, he is an inventor. He did
several aets-experiments. he calls
them-that have never been seen
here before. Even in the thrcadbare
matter OF card tricks he produced
novelties that were at once mNstilH-
ing and amusing While putting ON
new things, he LET off many old ones
effected by nearly all magieians, ond
that have been known as stoek-in-
trade. For instance, there was a
happy absence Of polling body
clothes out OF the hat OF an Old
bachelor. and things Of that kind.
His skull trick is wonderful.
Thomas W. Keene believes that
the stage is entering upon unewera.
in which traditions are slowly, but
surely, being effaced. "Hamlet was

tragedian, ssat least, SO many of his
early Interpreters made him. Now
there is n humanzng influence APP
parent. Hamlet is becoming a man,
and elocution is not so much sought
as are motives. The critic places his
faith in tradition To him it is Il
guiding star, a beacon that he must
follow, else he is lost beyond all re-
claim. And SO old standards have
become to him present eriterions
He fancies he must Judge by Them
and oh innovations smack OF sacri-
lege. The actor who darcs to leave
Tradition behind him, and who
seeks feqrlessly after new coneep-
tions, must OF necessity bring down
upon his head the ire OF the idol-lov-
ing critics
