Few of those who witnessed the pro-
duction of Daniel Bandmann's "Dr.
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" here last week
have any idea how this veteran actor
came to produce it in 1888 in New
York and London. Bandmann was a
personal friend of Robert Louis Stew
enson when the strage story of "Jekyll
and Hyde appeaerd in book form, his
borther- law, E. G. Henley asked
Stevenson for permission TO dramatize
1t. Stevenson refused. Richard Mans
held then gave a version of Ii which,
IL is sand, displeased the author.
knowing Bandmann, Stevenson asked
him to dramatize it. Bandmann called
upon Mansfield at the Fifth Avenue
Theater in New York, but was refused
the courtesy of admission, so he pro-
cured a copy of the book, dramatized
| it, and three weeks later produced it
at the Academy of Music. Stevenson
was pleased and lated Bandmann pro-
duced it in London. 1t is said that
Mansfield and Irving leased the the
aters in London as long as they could
to keep Bandmann from producing it.
But finally when he did produce it in
7 I,.,
was always regarded as Stevenson's s
| favorite version.
Denman Thompson, who played the
| "Old Homestead" here last week, is
| an interesting character. He is the
same old man behind the curtain, that
he is OH the stage. He stalks about
between acts from his dressing room
to the stage, giving an order now and
then to the property" for the world
as an old fashioned farmer would, who
had strolled into the wrong place. He
sits near the organ in the church scene
when the palms" is sung, and enjoys
it until his cue to appear on the stage,
During his engagement here he drove
over Savannah and out to Thunder
bolt. II think Los Angeles is the most
delightful city in the world said he.
"And next to it comes this city. have
always. loved Savannah. Thompson
could never tell why he wrote the "Old
| Homestead" Nothing prompted it. He
was an actor long before he became
an author. Speaking of the play, he
said that it has always effected old
and young alike. Its old, true" he
said, land yet it goes. 1t will live as

STUDY OF THE CHILD.
Miss BackuS' Classes During the
Lenten Season.


Lenten Season.
In the series of twelve lessons on the
Mother Play Book that will be given
by Miss Martha G. Backus during Lent
at the Philbrick kindergarten, the
method used win be one of informal
discussion of the subject from Its va
RIOTS standpoints. The programme de-
cided upon is as follows, subject to
change:
First class, general discussion of the
Mother Play Book it's FORM divisions
illustrations, literary and philosophical
aspects; second class, play No. 10, the
family; third class, play No. II, naming
the fingers; fourth class, play No. TO-
beckoning the pigeons; fifth class, play

play No. g. moving grass; seventh
seventh class, play No. 36, the Wheel

of the Mother Plays with those from
other sources; twelfth class, play in
general-a summing up of the SUBJ
ject; lists of books for reading on the
lines of child study.
At each class the game, song, music
and illustration will be first considered
as the external form of the
subject Then the play will be
treated from the standpoints Of
physical. mental and spiritual princi-
pies, and its inner truth discussed in
all it's bearings upon child-nature and
the study of the individual child.
These plays embody truths that apply
to all ages of children. and all stages

to mothers OF older children as to those
with very little ones.
1t will be seen by the numbers that
the plays chosen follow a sequence of
thought intended for this class, instead
of series determined by their group
ing in the book. AS there are forty
six mother plays in all, it is manifestiy
impossible to do more than choose
those typical of the different experi-
ences common to childhood, and that
would give the best understanding Of
the book as whole.

of scope allowed for collateral reading

Ike to consider the course as class

metropolis on the early morning train.
On the same train were special agents
of the railroads who travel on all out
going trains as far as the first juno

spotting scalped tickets. They spotted
McNamara's and Hendrickson's all
right, and those two gentlemen re-
turned to Charleston to recover their
money from the ticket agency which
had fitted them out with the goods
that didn't go. They say they were
quite as unfortunate in this seeking as
they were in the attempt to pass mus

fund the money paid for the tickets.
