AT THE THEATER

Virginia Drew Prescott. who will be
seen in Savannah at to-days matinee
and tonight in the leading feminine
character of the dramatic version of
Ouida's novel "Strathmore," is said
to be one of the most fascinating &C
tresses on the stage. She has been
compared in her style of acting with
Olga NetheTsole. and in the rendition
of the role of Lady Vavasour portrays
a style of work which is decidedly
unique. She is a stately woman full
of fire, portraying passion and pathos.
The entire production is under the per-
sonal direction OF Mr.. David Traitel
who for years has been connected with
leading theatrical companies.
The success of the dramatic versions
of Ouida's Moths" and Under Two
Flags" has been phenomenal, and the
author makes a personal statement
that "Strathmore" is considered by her
to be her greatest work. The matinee
prices are: Adults. so cents; children,
% cents, admission to the balcony
Regular prices prevail at night.
The state of Georgia boasts of her
great men. No class of people stick
to and back up favorite sons as do
the citizens of Georgia. They just now
are pointing with becoming pride to
Emile f. Subers, a young Georgian.
who at college distinguished himself,
who has made mark, who in vaude-
Vile here and abroad has won a posi-
ton at the head. He is called by the
profession The Georgia Sunflower,"
This season finds him with the Quinlan
q Wall Imperial Minstrels, engaged to
do end work, take leading part in the
Carrollette, Fun and Frolc at the
Station" and also to be one of the
warm members in the big dancing
act of the after-piece
Emile Subers is strikingly artistic,
and is the possessor of a ready flow
of wit that is said to have no begin
ming and no end-that is, it is perpet-
ual-it goes on forever.
The Quinlan & Wall Imperial Min
strels will be at the theater on ThCNs-
day, matinee and night, when the
friends and admirers of 1.-THE Georgia
Sunfower" will turn out.
David Warfield comes Friday for the
first time as a star. Only a few months
ago Warfield was a member of the
Weber & Fields Burlesque Com
pany, but during the whole of his con-
nection with that organization his
work was conspicuous for its sincerity,
its attention to detail and it's high ar
tistic qualities. In fact, he was gem
orally regarded as the most important
individual member of that company
AT the beginning of last season 1t was
in the air that David Warfield should
win success on his first starring vent
ure, especially as he had David Belas-
cos experience and bank account be-
hind him. But few managers dare hope
for such an unqualified hit as War
field and THE Auctioneer' made with
the New York public. The House
full sign was on the sidewalk at every
performance, and the business at the
little Bijou broke all previous records
Warfield's success in his few pathetic
moments, combined with his skill in
the numerous scenes Of hilarity, made
his work in THE Auctioneer' MEM
orable. Mr.. Belasco was obliged to
offer seats four weeks in advance in
order to protect the public against the
inroads of spectators. On the road,
in the tour, embracing only the large
cities, his New York reception was
duplicated, and in few months War
field was as we'll established near the
top of his ladder as are most success
full stars after years of hard work.
The sale of seats will open Wednes-
day morning. at o'clock.
Mrs. Patrick Campbell scored an
other success at the Garden Theater
in New York last week in her presen-
tation of Sudermanns 1.-THE Joy of
Living" The plot of the story hinges
on the fact that Beata (Mrs. Camp
belD. the wife of Count Michael Won
Kellinghausen, is in love with Richard,
Baron Won Voelkerlingk, who returns
her affection. Choosing the path of
duty, they put their love from them,
but, during political campaign, Rich
ards opponents, knowing the secret of
their love. use IL as a means of his
defeat. Rather than disgrace her hus-
band and drag down her lover, Beata
drinks poison and in her last toast
speaks to her friends of 1.-The Joy of
Living" Like all of Sudermanns, the
story is intense, and in the hands of
Mrs. Campbell held the audience in
spell-bound attention. The play is pre-
scented by a company of we'll known
players, among whom are Mr.. ]. H.
Glimour, Miss Amy Lamborn, Mr..
Vaughan Chaser Miss Dose Dupre,
Mr.. Charles Bryant Mr.. M. Macder-
mott, Mr.. w. ]. Montgomery, Charles
