beautiful designs and colorings in Mr..
Hanford's revival are said to be
conspicuous feature of the production
while the costuming and general ap-
pointments are all that could be de-
sired. The story of The Tanning OF the
Shrew" which is familiar to every
reader of Shakespeare, includes some
of the funniest situations on the stage
Savannah will see for the first time,
Friday and Saturday nights, and at
special matinee Saturday, one of the
undoubted theatrical successes of the
season, Foxy Grandpa" which has
been successfully produced in several
of the Eastern cities and in the, YER
nacular, has caught on" from the
start, and if comment and newspaper
criticism can be relied on, has been vot-
ed a "corker." The piece has been sug-

some time past have been leading off

the celebrated Bunny" (Mr. Carl Z.
Shuhze) while Mr.. R. Melville Baker
is the sponsor for the dramatic ground
work. Mr.. William A. Brady makes the
production, and it is under his man
agement that the piece will be given
here. Mr.. Brady's faith in the sketches
which have always appealed to him

made by him, seems to be warranted

Miss Carrie De Mar will accompany
him in his exploits, together with his
two grandsons, Blunt" and Club"
That these living representations of the
Bunny" sketches will interest the at

elders as well, goes without saying.
The play has been especially designed

parents, but for young folks of all

The company is the most successful
organization ever sent from the New
York Casino. Its reputation is well
known. After a successful run in
American cities. the merry musical
comedy was taken to London, and there
it established a record hitherto unpre-
cedented abroad for an American COM
pany of $40 performances. In Austria
liza the company's success was equally
noteworthy, and run of 342 perform
ances was achieved. At home the sue
cess of 1.-THE Belle" has never been ap-
preached by a similar attraction, and
at the conclusion of last season the
astonishing record for this company
figured up 1852 performances. Togeth-
er this makes a total of 1000 times
that The Belle of New York" has been
given.

There is tea-drinking and considerable
discussion, during which it becomes
evident to "Babbie" and the others
that the minister is in love with her.
Later on, when Gavin should be at
prayer meeting, he is found following
the gypsy girl around and they have
further love scenes, not, however, be-
fore the fact becomes plain that Cav
ms parishioners are not favorable to
"Babbie." and that some are very sore
at heart because their minister pays
attention to the girl and is evidently
making a fool of himself for her.
The third act takes the lovers and
all concerned to Lord Rintouls castle.
There Lady Babbie" is revealed in
her real character as the fine lady.
The minister's surprise is great, for
he has thought "Babbie" a gypsy girl
The pair declare their love and the
fathers consent to a marriage is ask
ed. But he has other plans for his
daughter; he wants her to wed some
body else. An interesting dramatic
situation ensues here, and the curtain
falls on Lady Babbie" insisting that
Gavin shall acknowledge her to be his
wife, as he did that night in Caddam
Woods to the soldiers. The last act
is said to be full of surprises. The cast
is as follows: Harry Lillford, Horace
Mitchell, w. c. Mason, Cecil Kings
ton, ]. c. Carlye, George Conway, How
ard Morgan, Frances Stevens. Maude

he has ever had in Savannah, which
shows that the young actor is gaining
ground.
Manager Seeskind is certainly doing
everything in his power to bring plenty
of good attractions and to run the
house in the interest of his patrons as
far as possible, and as the season
grows older it is to be hoped that the
audiences will be larger.

from the forces of the New York Ca
sino and the principal musical organi-
cations, which will be seen in some

button of Mr.. William H. Bachelor, w.

which are said to be decidedly bewitch-
ing, were designed and made by the
best of New York costumers.
The story is in three acts and is laid
at summer resort in Vermont A
short synopsis of the story is as fol-
lows: Foxy Grandpa" in private life
is known as Mr.. Goodelby Goodman.
He is a multimillionaire who has just
retired from business and his thoughts
and ideals are conferred on his two
grandchildren, and where he goes, they
go. That his wealth will eventually fall
into the hands of these two grandchil-
dren arouses the ire of his only living
next of kin, his brother and it is
through his designs, assisted by one of
his daughters. that he inveigles Foxy
Grandpa" into all sorts of schemes
which may give to the outside world
the idea that he needs a guardian for
his property as his doings have become
| so eccentric that there is a suspicion
that he is more or less crazy. With the
assistance of an Italian male persona
tor who makes up in imitation of the
real Foxy" and the confusion of the
two. are brought about many laugha-
| BILE complications which are finally
| Strengthened out in the last act Mr..
| Brady has given this production his en-
tire attention and honestly believes
| that 1t is one of the greatest, cleanest
and most meritorious dramatizations
of its kind that will be seen on the
boards this season.
