AT THE THEATER.
Ada Rehan in "The Tanning of the
Shrew" Tonight.

Shrew" Tonight.
Ada Rehan, as Katharine, in "The
Tanning of the Shrew," will be seen to-
night. The Augusta Herald says of Satur-
day nights production of the play in Au-
gusta
mo play of the season has been looked
forward to with more oleasurable antici-
patton, and it would be possible for no
play to give more entire and complete
satisfaction than that experienced by the
large and cultured audience that filled the
Grand. Miss Rehan was a revelation. Her
reputation is unsurpassed by that of any
American actress, and naturally, a great
deal was expected of her, but her acting
far exceeded what those who had never
seen her had expected to see. All the world
knows that Ada Rehan has command
ing stage presence, a beautiful figure and
a marvellous command of every express
ion it is possible for a woman's face 10
show, and of every grace known to the
human body; but her voice must be heard
Ter any conception to be gained of it's al
most uncanny power. 1t is fierce, stern,
masterful, sweet and soft and low ten
derby caressing, rich with melody, at her
will. The part of Katharine gives her an
opportunity of displaying this magic gift
of hers as possibly is not afforded by any
other of her creations. 1t is Katharine's
voice that will linger in the minds OF
those who heard her last night long after
every other phase of the magnificent pro-
duction has been forgotten. And it was
magnificent! No other manager has ever
learned to surpass Augustin DAILY in stag
ing a play, and it is Days version of
Tanning of the Shrew' with which Miss
Rehan is touring, including scenery, cos
pany. The interest of Augustans present
centered however in Robert Pigott, who
gracefully and with unusual dramatic
skill, presented the part of Triano So far
as he is concerned there was left room
but for one regret, and that was that the
part afforded no opportunity for the dis
play of Mr.. Pigott's beautiful baritone
voice"
