Boy confesses it by his silence.
Visitor-Now listen to me! Suppose

invitations were sent out yesterday
nv the Froebel Circle to a silver tea
TO be given at Miss Pape's home
tuesday afternoon. There is, per-
haps no charitable society of the city
whose particular work, caring for lit
tie children among the poor, appeals
TO people as strongly or as generally.
The Fresh Air Home at Tybee, sup
ported by it in the summer, is a con-
slant beneficiary at the hands of the
kind hearted. But the Froebel Circles
charity is not confined to the three
months of summer. Every Christmas
there are many cherries homes bright
ened and many childish hearts made
happy by it's gifts.
To raise the necessary amount for
the work this year the tea next Tues
day is being given and, if past bene-
fits can be taken as assurance, it will
be a very successful affair." Besides
being for such a very appealing
charity, the entertainments of the
Froebel Circle have gotten the repu-
tation of being most agreeable social

ing good and enjoying oneself at the
same time. The tea is being looked

To more sights than one, we will open

And show you a way to bring bright

Where Poverty's hand holds the doors
grim and tight
And all is in darkness, where there
should be light.

Let's fling wide those Portals, these

And take to each household share of
the light
Which glows in our hearthstones on
each Christmas night.

Wen be there to meet you, and greet

AT THE THEATER


One of the most interesting theatrical
events Of the season was the appear
ance of Mr.. Charles D. Coburn last
night in 1.-THE Christian" Pride in
the young Savannah actor, who is fast
making a name for himself, drew many
to the theater, and his first entrance
on the stage was warmly applauded.
But this very natural outburst of per-
sonal friendship soon changed to en-
thusiastic appreciation of his remark
ably fine acting. Those who had seen
Mr.. Coburn before only in light COM
edy parts were amazed at his work.
His Interpretation of the part of John
Storm was sympathetic and strong.
and full of magnetism. He presented
it with a polish and ease that would
have been admirable even in an actor
older, both in years and experience.
If the John Storm of Hall Gaines book
is an impracticable idealst, a fanatic
with whom one has very little patience,
the John Storm of the play is quite a
different sort of fellow-an idealist,
indeed. but one who turns his visions
into realities, and is noble but very
human. Mr.. Coburn got all there was
out of the part, balancing very nicely
the dominating love for the woman
and the religious passion for humanity.
There are some very dramatic scenes
in the play. and in none was Mr.. Co.
burn found lacking. The same may,
indeed, he said of his support, which
was excellent. Miss Catherine Angus
as Glory, in part almost a difficult,
deserved as much praise as Mr.. Co
burn himself. Each supplemented the
other perfectly, giving a delightful
harmony. to the piece, so that one
might forget it was acting. Except
for the picnic scene in the prologue,
which was very clever, Miss Angus
part was nearly all emotional, and she
was skillful in showing varying shades
of feeling. Upon these two central fig
ures the chief action of the play de-
ponds, though much interest gathers
about the minor characters, which were
very well sustained. The women s
roles were particularly good, especially
those of the music hall singers. Miss
May Tully as one of them. Betty, was
very clever, although her part was
small.
The introduction of John Storms
plONGSGSs lilcil anu NOillGll VI tHC SlItCl,
made a dramatic incident of the play
Curtain call after curtain call was
responded to, and Mr.. Coburn, after
bowling his thanks repeatedly, spoke a
few words of appreciation, expressing
his pleasure at being in Savannah, and
the hope that he would have the privi-
lege of appearing here again at
no distant date. His return
will be matter of congratu
lation, not only to his friends,
but to theater-goers generally. The
performance of last night was one of
no ordinary merit, and establishes Mr..
Coburns ability as an actor AS such,
he will be warmly welcomed here
