Savannah theater goers saw Janice
Merideth' for the first time last night.
Mary Mannering as the fair Janice, it
must be admitted, was the star which
drew many. The audience was a bril-
liant one. Every box was filled and
there was hardly a seat in the orches-
ira or balcony that was not taken. OF
the play itself, aside from the fact
that it is a dramatization of the wide
ly-read novel of Paul Leicester Ford,
there is not much that need be said.

1t probably has never occurred to
the average laynan the value of SUCH
plays as were written by the late
Charles Hoyt. At this date, years since
the first production of any of the Hoyt
comedies, they yield an income some
thing marvellous. Ten per cent. of the
gross receipts up to a certain number
of thousand dollars is the cost, vand
at present George ODER is making use
of them in Frisco. Proctor has the
rights to some of them over his cir
cult. Otis Harlan has "a Black
Sheep" "A Texas Steer" is on tour
Frequently the plays are offered at the
Murray Hill, while "A Stranger in
New York and "A Trip to China

and "a Continental Woman" finds us
age in stock theaters. 1t is said no less
than $500 was one weeks royalty re-
ceipts.
The success of 1.-THE Hall of Fame"
is matter of wonder to theater peo-
pie. 1t caught the public fancy imme-
diately upon its initial production, and
now gives promise to outrun any of the
plays seen thus far at the New York
Theater. The scenery is beautiful and
the spectacular effects. notably the Nj
agara Falls scene, in which is produced
the falls, with the ACCOMPANYING roar
and mist, are most realistic. Distinc-
tive hits have been made by Marie

seen in burlesques on the current popu-
lar dramas.

 Here we find a different kind of car and engine. The cars are more like barrels with seats inside them than anything else. and each car seems to carry its own motor.

population here is enormous, but the fla clfties for carrying it are the poorest of those of any capital of Europe. The streets are narrow and the most of them are accessible only for buses or cabs There are underground roads run by steam andl tramways hauled by horse power, but as yet the electrical undertak- ings are at their beginning.
 l have before me the number of pas sengers who paid fares on cars cabs and buses last year. This is counting pas senger to each fare. The number is more than 1000, ,0o0,000. Of these 351 900, 000 rode and 356 900 on omnibuses.
 Think of that! More than four times as many omnibus rides were taken in London as there are men, women and one of those rides was on a bus dragged by two horses. There are more than 5000 omnibuses in the greater London, and more than 300 GOO horses are used to haul them back and forth through the streets. One omnibus company carried more than 100000. 900 passengers last year. It used 5000 horses and it's fares aver aged about cents a ride. About one third of ali tho people who rode in Lon don last year rode in omnibuses while two-thirds of them were pulled by horses And this is in the biggest city of the world,

 Is it any wonder that the Yankees are grasping al these enormous possibilities with itching palms?
