AT THE THEATER.
"Heartease" Admirably Presented
Before "A Large Audience.

|heaEIeaheH AOmlrAbiy PRESENTED
before Large Audience.
Mr.. Henry Miller, supported by an ex-
cellent company, presented "Heartsease''
at the theater last night before an audi
ence that it would not be too much to say
was unanimously pleased and appreciative.
The play is a romantic comedy in four
acts by Charles Klein and ]. 1. c. Clark.
The story has already been told in the
Morning News. The play is one of the
prettest and best written as TO detail
that has been played in Savannah in re-
cent years. 1t is not one of those plays
that are written to meet a popular or
passing fancy or demand, but one that
has a deal of merit and strength and that
will stand the test of time, and live. II
is just the sort of play that might have
been the product of the pen of Sheridan
and one who saw it could not help think
ing of THE School For Scandal and The
Rivals" Certainly it is not a whit 100
much to say that It is in the same
Class with the best English
plays of the time of the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
People who visit the larger cities have
| long been familiar with the acting of Mr.
Charles Frohman to make known to the
theater-goers of the provincial towns his
excellent ability and art. The appearance
of Mr.. Miller last night was a triumph
decided and distinct. 1t was such tri-
| umph that has not been given to an actor
here but seldom, and it must have made
the artist feel good. He gave present.
ment that was as delicately finished and
artistic as it was vigorously emotional.
third n i'm the in the lobby
of Covent Garden-the great London play
house--where he happens accidentally and
hears the music of "Hildebrand," which
he knows is his stolen opera, Mr. Miller
did a piece Of work that was su-
perb. 1t was so fine that when
the curtain was rung down there were sew
en- curtain calls, first the entire company
responding until it was narrowed down to
Mr.. Miller, whom the audience evidently
wanted to speak, but he did not.
The play was staged with a care for de-
tail, and costuming that is not often the
fortune of Savannah theater-goers to wit
ness.
The company was one of the best that
Mr.. Frohman has ever sent South. The
+ secondary and minor characters were not
placed in the hands of actors of mediocre
ability to show off so much the better act
ing of the star-as is often the case-but
every role was in capable hands. Mr.. Rey
nolds as Lord Neville, Mr. Haines as Sir
Godfrey Pomfret, and Mr.. Browne as
Capt Jack O'Hara were particularly good.
The Lady Neville of Miss Mabel Bert was
polished portrayal and Miss Mortimer
and Miss Dale were excellent.
1t is a pleasure TO commend a play like
"Heartsease," and an actor like Mr.. Miller.
Would that they visited Savannah oftener.
The following was the cast of eharac-
ters:

General Manager Underwood, of the
Baltimore &, Ohio Railroad, has issued u
general notice to station agents and
trainmen requiring uniform courtesey to
patrons. 1t gives us pleasure to note that
there is no cause for complaint on the
score of the lack of these desirable Gle
ments in the makeup of the officials at
either of the Charles Town railroad sta
lions. Courtesy and accommodation are
the rule here, and intercourse between
the agents and assistants and those doing
business with them is universally pleas
ant and agreeable.
