AT THE THEATER

Yesterdays matinee and night per-
formances by Al. G. Fields Minstrels
were pleasing events, That a large
proportion of theater patrons have a
decided taste for minstrelsy was amp
ly evidenced by the patronage given
this show Fields has headed his own
organization for the past eighteen
years, and though Savannah has all
ways been one of his regular stopping
places, yet the company he has with
him this year is even better than those
that have been seen with him in for
mer seasons. afc
The first part, entitled "The Roof
Garden, or a Night in New York." from
a scenic standpoint, is something new
with shows of this character. The
choir of soloists, which numbers among
it's members some of the best voices in
the country is a feature of the show
worthy of the applause it received.
King of the Filipinos," tropical
travesty, was the stellar part Of the
whole performance, and was produced
in most pleasing manner.
OF course AL G., Tommy Donnelly,
Doc Quigley and the other members
of the comedy force were there. and

A Colonial GIRL.

One OF the most pleasing productions
of recent seasons is the romantic COM
edy. "A Colonial Girl" which will be
seen at the theater tomorrow. matt
lee and night, with Miss Bertha
Creighton as the star. There is a pecu-
harly fascinating quality about this
story OF early days that holds the spec
tator to the very end. The quaint colo
NAL atmosphere. the tinge of adven-
ture and abundance of sparkling COM
edy. with here and there an exciting
dash of the melodramatic, form agree
able relief from the drawing room
drama. Miss Creighton is surrounded
by an excellent company and the
scenery is said to be unusually hand
some as well as historically correct.
Miss Creighton, while one of the
youngest dramatic stars, is rich in ex-
perience that would do credit to one
twice her age. Her professional career
was begun at the age of seven, and
since then she has impersonated almost
every line of character from opera
bouffe to the heavy classic roles. A
few of Miss Creighton's successes have
been as Lady. Babbie in THE Little
Minister" Roxane in "Cyrano de Ber-
gerac. Lady Garnet in the Great Ru-

let" Carmen" etc. AS NIollie Hedden

for the display of her rare versatility
and dramatic power. Seats are now on

The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
says:
THE enthusiastic reception given
Miss Bertha Creighton in A Colonial
Girl at the Park Theater last evening
was an evidence of the popularity of
this clever actress. 1t was her first
venture here as a star, and was sue
cess in every way. The audience was
with her from her entrance in the first
act as the simple country maiden, Mol
lie Heddon, to her final triumph. She
was given curtain calls at the end of
each act, and was compelled to re-
spond to calls for a speech at the end
of the second, saying a few words of
appreciation. She was also showered
with beautiful boquets. Her conception
of the Fart of Mollie Heddon proves
Miss Creighton's dramatic ability, and
is an augury of much success in her
chosen field. She was natural and I'M
affected, and never overdrew the part,
even in the scene where as the injured
wife she might be tempted to assume
a too tragic air"
