AT THE THEATER.
"Ribi" Admirably Presented Before
Crowded House.


"Bibi" a comedy of toys-and a dainty
little piece it is-was presented a the thea
ter last night by a local caste of eighty
young people. The entertainment was Civ
en- under the auspices of the Daughters
of the Confederacy and for the benefit of
the needy Confederate veterans of Savan-
nah7 The cause could not be a moro
worthy or noble one, and the people re-
sponded admirably, for the house was
crowded to the doors and there were peo-
pie standing.
The piece is a bright little conceit, de-
picting some talking dolls and some which
do not talk The entertainment is some
what similar to the Brownies" and was
very well put on.
The jockey dance of little Miss Hattie
RossignoI was prettily done, and the little
girl was made to respond to an encore.
Master Sammie Brown, who played the
part of Topsy, was excellent. He sang
II Wants My Lulu in a manner that de-
lighted the audience and was repeatedly
called for.
There was some pretty music, inter-
| spersed with attractive groupings and
