t,sater all of this week. The company
nil omen tomorrow night, and will give
ao1v matinees, beginning Tuesday. The

mrs and to conform with the custom of
rarertoire companies ladies will be admit
"a free on the opening night, if accom-
rsnied by a paid 90-cent ticket. The
romnany is said to be made up of good
naonIe. and its performances are well
spoken Of.
The following notice is taken from the
BIRMINGHAM Age-Herald:
.-rbe Robson Theater Company, the
auditoriums first repertoire company
drew an enormous house and gave a per-
torrance that pleased those present. Man
oeer Thless has not yet been able to figure
ON, lust how many people ne can put in
his house, but at rough guess he says
600 can find plenty of room left, and while
there were not quite the capacity present
the house was fairly well filled. In fact
LAST nights attendance at the Auditorium
was. in numbers, far in excess of any au-
dience Witnessing regular theatrical per-
torrance in this city. The bill was Ca
roe and Mr.. Robson as Armand Duval
The support was very good, and the pro
duction of such a strong play was one of
merit The scenic portion of the produc
ton was magnificent every piece of seen
erv used being splendid work and fresh
from the painters brush. The hit of the
show. however, was the speciality of the
Leblanc sisters, who arrived here at 1920
o'clock and twenty minutes later were
before the audience doing a lot of songs
dances and cake walks that called for
four decided and distinct encores. Their
singing is good, their dancing better and
their cake walking excellent"
Miss Mabel Howard, who played the
main part in ''Zaza," which was presented
here recently, would doubtless be well
pleased if she could hear the numerous
encorniums which have been passed upon
her acting by those who saw her. Miss
Rewards portrayal of the difficult role
wa certainly excellent, and the powers
and talent she exhibited indicate that there
is much in store for her in the life pro-
f, ,ssion which she has chosen. Many per
5 ons who saw Mrs. Leslie Carter in New
York are of the opinion that Miss How
ards conception and impersonation of the
character is very little, if any, inferior TO
that which Mrs. Carter has been so uni
versally praised for. Miss Howard has
YOUTH beauty and talent in her favor, and
ii she does not reach a high place in the
list of actresses those who saw her here
will be surprised.
Brock Beckwith, who left Savannah
only few weeks ago for the Northwest,
seems to have struck the people of St
Paul Mimi, all in a heap. In fact, so i'm
pressed were they with Mr.. Beckwith's
Evolutionary abilities and other talents
that they are insisting that he shall take
UP his residence in st. Paul permanently.
Mr. BeckWith took part in stag So
rial' of st. Paul Lodge of Elks, No. 49,
'ecently, and was evidently the star of
ghe evening, as the following extract
fl ON the account of the affair in the ST.
p aul Dispatch indicates:
The browning feature of the night were
The Rotations of Brock Beckwith,a mem
Der of Savannah, Georgia, lodge. He gave
Word and a Deed 'Hamlets Advice to
Players 'Hamet's Soliloquy' and The
Dream of Eugene Aram. The latter piece
was absolute masterpiece in the repdi-
ton. Round after round of applause fol-
owed every recitation, and the audience
followed encore by encore No finer elocu-
zionist has ever visited ST. Paul, and it is
ID be hoped Mr.. Beckwith may remain
Rnd become a citizen of the city. One of
the pleasant incidents of the evening was
Che playing of Dixie in honor of Mr..
leckwith, which brought out an eloquent
Ampromptu response which captured the
carts Of all present"
The st. Paul Globe of Dec. 81, announces
that the Elks of the city were so greatly
leased with the entertainment given
them by Mr.. Beckwith that they decided
% give him a complimentary Testimonial
at the Elks' Hall EVERY one who has
Heard MIR. Beckwith," says the Globe,
agrees that his equal as a dramatic re-
cltalist has not before appeared in st.
aul An excellent programme has been
plade up for the evening"
The entertainment referred to took place
rday night the following programme
being rendered:

Mr.. Beckwith left Savannah several
weeks since for the purpose of joining the
company of James Neil, the well known
a. AMMAN actor. He was taken sick in St
au and was prevented from carrying out
nus intention. He seems to have fallen in
WIN a band of brothers" indeed in the
81 Paul Elks. Mr.. Beckwith's elocution-
airy talents are well known in Savannah,
ana his numerous friends here will be de-
Hghted to hear of the cordial reception
which he has met in st. Paul.
