Versatility Of talent is undoubtedly
the gift of Miss Elizabeth Kennedy,
who appeared yesterday afternoon in
the difficult role of Camille" after
her success the night before as Rosa
lind. 1t was an ambitious attempt.
The play has been produced in Savan-
nah before by no less an actress than
Sarah Bernhard, and before that by
! Minnie Madden, now Mrs. Fiske. It
suffers somewhat by translation into
English and must necessarily suffer by
| the comparison, since everyone cannot
| be Bernhard, but deserved much
praise in spite of both facts. Mrs. Ken
nedy showed considerable passion and
force and interested her audience to the
| point of very real emotion. A too rapid
utterance is her chief fault in this
| piece. as we'll as in LAS You Like It."
but less Objectionable in the latter case
where the lines are so familiar. In
! Camille" many of her lines were lost
entirely.
las You Like 1t" was repeated last
night with even more success than on
the first occasion. The audience was
enthusiastic and rewarded the players
with much merited applause.
The twenty members of the company
went to Launey's studio yesterday
morning, and had individual photo
| graphs taken in the costumes of their
various roles in LAS You Like It."
| These will be suitably framed, with a
| photograph of Miss Kennedy in the
center, and will be presented to her
| as a gift from the company. She knows
nothing of their inten lions, the affair
being planned as. a surprise. The pic
ture will be forwarded to Macon,
| reaching there Saturday morning.
| To-day and tomorrow will be taken
up by Broadhurst's comedies. At to-
days matinee and tonight "Why
Smith Left Home" will be presented,
and tomorrow night 1.-THE Wrong Mr.
Wright" Broadhurst has proven that
fhis ideas are original and his develop
| ment of them ingenious. These quail
| tiles are pronounced in 1.-THE Wrong
| Mr.. Wright" In this play Mr.. Ober
! will be Mr.. Seymour Sites, a merchant
| whose cashier has absconded; Sites en-
| ploys a female detective. Henrietta
| oliver, and others to trace the fugitive,
/ and impatiently takes hand in the
| game himself under the assumed name
/ of Wright. This, of course, is the very
name under which the absconding
| cashier is travelling, and so the efforts
| of the detectives bring them back to
| Seymour Sites, The Wrong Mr..
| Wright" who secures a happy issue
/ out of all his Affections by marrying
| the female detective. Mr.. Ober has
made much of the part of Sites, which
Roland Reed was so successful in sew

The leading male role In Polly Prir-
rose" in which Adelaide Thurston will
be seen here Saturday, matinee and
night, is played by Brinsley Shaw. a
| Harvard graduate. The curious thing
! is that the character he impersonates
| is that of "A young New Yorker of 63,
! just out of Yale. a graduate of the
class of so. Miss Thurston wanted a
real Yale man for the role, of course;
| but the fact that Mr.. Shaw suited the
| part to ct" both as to manner and
| looks, effected a. compromise. All Of
which reminds US of the fact that the
| average college man in a play is a
sight for the mortal gods TO behold
The reason for this is, it Is supposed,
| is that the college man" is usually
| impersonated by a scrub actor who
has even missed the preliminary of a
common school education. The COM
pany carries everythng-even to chairs
and other props" usually supplied by
the manager of the local theater. Seats
