AT THE THEATER.
"a Night on" Admirably Played by
Days Company.


Augustin Days excellent comedy, "A
Night off" was given at two perform
ances at the theater yesterday to small
audiences. A wag who watched the audi
ente filing out after the performance last
night. remarked that theater-goers must
have inferred from the bill boards that it
was an off night at the theater instead of
"A Night or"
"a Night Off" has been seen in Savan-
nah before, but not for some years. 1t is
like all of Mr.. Days comedies, bright
and clean, with nothing offensive. The
plot is simple but interesting. The story
Is original and uniquely told, with de-
cous vein of humor running all through
it,
The character of Marcus Brutus Snap
was splendidly played by Mr.. Thomas Nc
4 Grath. His makeup was excellent, and as
& the ambitious, impecunious transformer
4 Of the kind, often pictured in comic pa
pers, he could not have been better.
4 Mr.. John Daily Murphy made a good
Justinlan Rabbit, the college professor,
4 who wrote a Roman drama, that came
very near causing strained relations
q among several families.
Mr. Donald Bowles gave pleasing and
finished portrayal of the role of Harry
Damask, so did Mr. James Kyrle McCurdy
& that of Jack Mulberry.
Miss Marie Haynes as the professors
& wife Miss Grace Vaughn as his daughter,
and Miss Edith Totten as another daugh-
ter, We're all good.
Louis James new play, "a Cavalier of
France, which will be presented to the
i tneater-goers of this city for the first time
tO-mOTrOW NIGHT iC 6p work of Mr. EgnW
Williams, who has reason to be proud of
the success his play has attained. 1t first
saw the light in a Northern city last
September, and since that time it has
been given in all the principal cities North
and South on this side of the Mississippi.
Negotiations are now pending for its pro-
duetion in the East. The romantic drama
seems to have taken strong hold upon
the theater goers just now, and "A Cav
aier Of France" from all reports, is quite
as interesting as any of the similar plays
which have been given recently.
The company is first-class and COM
prlses, besides Mr. James, such we'll
known names as Messrs. Barry John
stone, Collin Kemper, W. A. Lincoln,
rank w. Peters, Norman H. Hackett,
Gilbert Gardner and the Misses Mary
Emerson, Loretto Wells and Aphie James.
a special matinee will be given at 8
ocioek, when Mr.. James will present
Jullus Caesar" in which he will be seen
III his rendition of Brutus. This should
prove particularly interesting to the high
school attendants, who are pursuing the
STUDY OF Roman history.
