Night Performance sim Held I'm.
The PLASTER of Paris" Company seems
10 have gone to the wall. The entire cast
is broken up over the prospects It has
had to face. and IL has simply become
matter with the most of the men of look
ing out for the ladies' No chance of a
benefit performance is in sight, as the
theater cannot be secured soon, and il
now seems very much like the troubles of
Mr.. Plaster Paris" wiE cease 90 COM
municate themselves to the fond manager
and company that sought 10 overcome its
reputation as "hoodoo" and make il pay
as the merit that's in it would seem TO
warrant its doing.
All the members of the company are
sill in the city, stopping at the Marshall
House The Lavigne sisters win be the
first TO get away, as they have made an
arrangement that win get them out of
town. The Plant System very kindly came
to the assistance Of the sisters. and they
will leave this morning for Chicago, where
they believe they will be all right.
Two of the men stay here. Both have
secured engagements with the Royal Mu-
sic Hall. Musical Director Lewis and He
brew Impersonator Davis are these two,
and The patrons of the music hall will
ha 10 h., anti
tainment that will be afforded when the
late members of the PLASTER" combna-
ton make their appearance. Davis will be
remembered by those who saw the matinee
or evening performance on Christmas day
as having done some very clever work.
What will become of the other members
of the company they themselves do not
know. They are nearly all first-class peo-
pie, though, and there is no reason why
they should be without anything to do for
very long. Their work was very pleasing
when they appeared before Savannahians
and those who saw them tender their best
wishes. They had an amusing piece that
they put on very well, and expressions Of
sympathy for the actors have been heard
on all sides.
Manager Fuller was seen yesterday and
asked If he had made any plans. His re-
ply was that he had not, and that he did
not know just what he or the members
of the troupe, besides those mentioned,
would do. The men, he said, are partic-
ularly anxious to get the ladies' out of
the difficulties LAS for me-" he said, II
can saw wood or get some other job. 1t
is the ladies' 1 am worrying about"
Inquiry was made by Mr.. Fuller to sec
what he could do in the way of a benefit
performance. He said he had found that
the theater could not be obtained until
Friday week. and II was his fear mat by
that time the sympathy that had been
manifested may have grown cold. Be-
sides, 10 wait that long would be but to
have expenses running up and the long
division of the net receipts among the
members of the company would mean
that they would be no better off at the END
of the performance and the ten days in
tervening than they are right now
No developments appeared in the at
tachment proceedings brought by Gilbert
Greene, the advance agent, against the
night receipts OF the company. Mr. Fuller
secured Mr.. Emile Newman to represent
the company. and a contest will be made
The case win soon be heard in Justice
Jones court. Mr. Greene is represented
by Mr.. William Pease.
