kIImt-Hearn Co.

That sterling old melodrama 1.-THE Sill
yer King" was presented by the Klimt-
Hearn Company last night before large
audience. There is no doubt that the X.
of P. show is lessening the attendance at
The theater, but the audiences are picking
up, and next week when the company re
turns for the last three days of the week,
the people win have found out what
good show 1t is, and the house will be
packed.
The Silver King was put on in the
same complete and creditable manner that
has characterized the presentation of the
other plays, and was much enjoyed. This
afternoon last nights bill viii be repeated.
Tonight The Great Diamond Robbery
one of A. M. Palmers successes, will be
given. The leading role will be taken by
Miss Mitchell, who made such a good i'm
preston as Marina Paolip in MIR. Barnes
of New York" Miss Mitchell has but
recently joined the company, and she has
had time so far to study but one or two
parts. 1t was evident to those who saw
her Monday night that she is an actress of
ability and strength.
In the dual role King Rudolf
V of Ruritania and Rudolf Ras-
S6uuyHt III AutNOHy nope > Tuuldu-
tic play, Rupert of Hentzau"-James
K. Hackett win be seen Tomorrow after
noon and night. The play will be given
with the identical scenery, costumes, cast
and accessories which obtained during the
long New York runs at the Lyceum ana
Garden Theaters. The latter engagement
terminated only last month. Since that
time MIR. Hackett and his company have
visited New Orleans and other cities CT
the South.
If 'To laugh is to i've" then those who
see Warde & Sackett's comedians in the
last Hoyt's Theater success, "a Bachelors
Honeymoon, next Tuesday afternoon and
evening, stand a change for a new lease
of life The play wah written by John
Stapleton, formerly an actor of Augustin
Days company, and according to the
New York World, at is an overwhelm-
ingly funny farce" The scene is laid in
Boston, and the plot concerns the trials
and fluctuations of an unfortunate bacile-
Tor, who tries TO keep his marriage a se-
cret, and yet introduces his wife into his
family. His stories and their results in
volve the entire cast in a series of side
splitting complications that continue TO
the end of the play.
Clyde Fitch, the author of the Kelcey-
Shannon company's play 1.-The Moth and
lH6 tdIHei mas received more royalties
from that production than any he has ever
written. He Is the foremost dramatist of
the present day. Among his most promf-
nent successes are Beau BrummelY
Nathan Hale" Barbara Freitchie" and
THE Moth and the Flame"
The Whitman sisters, with a company of
jubilee singers and a select band of pick
anniny cake-walkers, will make their APP
pearance at the theater next Monday
night. The talent is purely local. with the
exception of the Whitman sisters who,
however, have lived in Savannah for a
number OF years Since their removal from
the West they have made several appear
ances before the public, but this will be
their first professional move since their
change of home Everything this season
is new from songs to costumes. The fea-
lures of the performance need not be
enumerated further than say that much
care has been exercised in selecting, dis
tributing and CHASING of the chief and
most interesting ones. The best singer of
the company is Essie. Her color has been
the only drawback to a wide reputation,
but now the field is opening wider for
achievements. The sale of seats will be-
gin this morning, and from indication
there is no doubt that the white patrons
of the theater will appreciate the fact that
all of the orchestra chairs. as is usually
done, will be reserved for them. The man
agement announces that the lower part
of the house will not be given to the col
ored people.
