nights Attraction.

nights Attraction.
What Happened to Jones' will be seen
tonight for the first time in Savannah.
The Macon Telegraph says of the per-
Torrance in Macon Wednesday night:
What Happened to Jones' is to blame
for what happened to every person, big
or little, who was at the Academy of
Music, which is to say side or sides sore
from laughter; for a more mirth-provok-
ing comedy of errors has rarely been seen
on the boards The cause of it all was
the curiosity of P.of Ebenezer Goodfy
and his prospective son-in-law to delve
into the mysteries of the squared circle
by attending prize fight, which was
raided by the police and which led to
the introduction of Jones, a breezy knight
of the grip, into the professors home in
the guise of that learned gentleman's
brother, the Bishop of Ballarat who was
expected. While what Happened to
Jones" was enough in all conscience,
what happened to the bishop, to quote
Jones, made it look like a three spot
The company, including George c. Boni-
face Jr., Anna Belmont, George Ober
Kathryn Osterman, william Bernard
Matte Ferguson, j. w. Cope, Florence
Robinson, Mrs. e A. Eberle, and Rose
and the auditor who failed to secure a
10 per cent. dividend ON his merriment is
hard to suit"
Manager Horne of the Macon Academy
of Music, in a letter to Manager Weis
says: 1.-THE company is an excellent one
in every particular. The play abounds in
comical situations, and is very laughable
from rise to the fall OF curtain. 1t equals
any farce comedy that has yet visited Ma

India" which, as you know, gave excel
lent satisfaction
