Broadhurst's hilarious farce, what
Happened to Jones'" comes to Savannah
Tuesday, jan l6, with the following play
ers; John Allison. II. G. Hockey, H. w.
Montgomery, Louis Reinhart, Joseph Me
keever, Charles Charters, Charles Greene
Florence Marion, Lillian Young, Olive Nc
Council Ethel Hertset, Marie Haynes and
Maud Allison. George Fl. Broadhurst, the
author, modestly declines to dignity the
play with the name of comedy He in
SlStS on calling ii a farce. Whatever one
may choose to call il What Happened 10
Jones" is good. Without a coarse or sug-
gestive line or situation, it is mirth-pro-
voking in the extreme, 1t is a high class
farce consisting largely of clever charac-
ter drawing, lines of bright significance
and a title better than has been conferred
on any farce of recent years. Jones is one
of these adaptable individuals who can be
expected to dominate whatever situation,
no ed
may be thrown So that when he falls
into the household of one EbeneZer Good
ly, as the result of the promiscuous scram-
bic which is apt to follow the descent of
the police on a prize Tight with hold
upon Goodly conferred by knowledge of
their lapse from the tenets of morality,
this Jones may be depended upon to reap
fully the advantages of his position. In
the Goodly house Jones finds a girl who
might appreciate him if he were not the
Bishop, whose clothes and character ne
appropriates and he also finds Goodly $
two daughters How Jones gets away
with the complications that ensue. how he
convnces the Bishop that he is his best
friend how he wins Goodly's ward and
how he squares himself with the police
should not be told in advance-but he
does it.
Barlow Bros Minstrels will be the at
traction at the theater next Monday The
following is from the Athens, Ga, Ban
ner:
One of the most satisfactory minstrel
performances ever given in Athens was
presented in the opera house last evening,
the attraction being the Barlow Ministries
one Of the largest audiences of the sea-
son was present. The house was filled
with soldiers and society was out in large
numbers. The audience was not only de-
lighted with the performance, but the V@ry
best order was observed. The soldier
element was enthusiastic to a great de-
gree but not once during the evening IVES
the least inclination shown to misbehaVe.
II was a refined and cultured ordinance
and Jolly one. Barlow's Minstrels make
no elaborate pretentons, but the entr
performance was in strict keeping with re-
finement, and it is not too much to say
that taken upon a whole the entertainment
offered was equal to that Of any minstrel
performance ever given in Athens. The
show deserves to stand in the very front
rank of theatrical connections designed
exclusively for laughing purposes, The
special features were considerably above
the average. aud there was not during the
entire evening a single dun moment.
The coming of Clarence Eddy, the or
ganist, who will give a recital tomorrow
night at the Lawton Memorial, win be
undoubtedly one of the musical events of
the season. Mr.. Eddy Is recognized as
one of the greatest living organists, and is
known wherever the organ is known.
The recital win be unique from the fact
that it is practically open to the public
no admission fee being charged and tickets
being given away upon application sa-
vannah's music lovers are indebted to Col.
\. r. Lawton for this treat, and will
show their appreciation of it by an unus-
ually large attendance at the recital.
