AT THE THEATER.

The Grau Opera Company sang the
Bohemian Girl" last night to an au-
dience which enjoyed it, judging from
the encores. The opera is an old one,
but a sweet one. And it found capa-
BILE hands in Harry Davies, Ed. Eagle
ton, Mary Darlington Bessie Tame
hill and Chas. Swickard. Upon these
was encored on Remember Me-" Miss
Darlington sang sweetly and was en-
cored, when she gave Marble Halls
and. Mr.. Swickard sang THE Heart
Bowed Down" admirably. Miss Tan
nehill possesses one of the best voices
in the company; and she made a splen-
did Gypsy Queen. For every selection
she was encored and a beautiful bou-
quet of flowers was sent over the foot
lights to her during the evening.
The opera was we'll put on. The
scenery was good and the costumes
were a feature. Little three-year-old
Everett Castle was cast for the child S
part and did it cleverly. Last night he
was pouting with the chorus and made
the part go as he wished without
sticking to his lines. Master Castle
does a clever dance.

SaVannahianS have seldom heard a.
better company at popular prices, to
which Mr.. Grau is playing. Indeed.
many of the high priced companies
visiting Savannah have not produced
the good singers which are heard in
the Grau company. Both Miss Tame
hill and Miss Darlington have splen-
did voices, while Harry Davies is far
and away in advance of any tenor
heard here recently. Felch and Eagle
ton are admirable fun makers, while
Miss Hazards charming viyacity
gives life and snap to every produce
ton.
Monday night is the date set for the
opening of week S engagement by the
Spooner Dramatic Company at the Sa-
vannah Theater. Nell Gwynn" has
been selected for the opening perform
ance. The following is what the Tam
pa (F'la.) Tribune said:
1.-The Spooner Dramatic Companv
opened its weeks engagement at the
Casino last night, presenting Nell
Gwynn." Time and fortune have dealt
kindly with the Spooners since their
last visit here, and it is evident that
their talents have been appreciated by
people of other sections of the coun,
try. The genial F. f. Spooner is back
with us again, despite the rumors that
have reached Tampa of his untimely
death-and Miss Allie Spooner. whom
Tampaites remember so pleasantly,
has improved wonderfully in the two
years since she last appeared here.
