er's musical production by the authors
of "Florodora," comes to Savannah at
an early date, after its New York run
of six months at the Broadway Inca
ter. The costumes and the scenic et-
fects are said to be unsurpassed IN the

did not hesitate at the expense. The
company numbers 100 people. 1t is
headed by Sam Collins, Gertrude Mil

wait awhile longer for a new City Hall.
The writer has recently visited At
lanta, and while there was greatly i'm
pressed with the programme made in
opening streets, many of which were
open for miles, and are being rapidly
built up, and the same results would
flow here If City Council would Wig
orously push to completion the opening
of streets to their full length up to
and including the recent city extern
stons.

Herrmann's matinee OF mystery and
magic yesterday was equally as enter

The Telephone Girl will be one Of
the attractions of next month. The
comedy was sen here last year and
made a hit at once. The company this
year is said to excel last years. Chief
among the funmakers is Max Bloom,
an ambitious young comedian whose
methods are as unique and original as
were those of Louis Mann in the part
of Hans Nix. Second to Mr.. Bloom is
Miss Nellie V. Nichols, the soubrette
who combines the chic of an Anna
Held with the delicious righteousness
Of a Lulu CHASER and the beauty Of a
Lillian Russell Miss Nichols simula-
ton of drunkenness in the second act
is a bit of innocent realism kept
strictly within the bounds of plausi-
bility. Others in the company are
Harry c. Lyons, a pupil of Harry Gill

structor as an imitator of the things
we hear and see in everyday life, and
the Misses Kendall and Thompson.
The Female Sousas' who offer re-
fined cornet duet. The all girly'
chorus contains an unusual quota of
distinction TO the production. Henry
Clayto and Elizabeth Clark as Snuffies
and Toots are favorites and will intro
duce new lines of repartee and several
songs which bid fair to become popu-
lar.
A political campaign, combined with
domestic difficulties, forms the basis
for Mr.. Herbert Bashford's comedy,
Hon. John North" in which that
prime favorite, Robert Downing, is
meeting with success. Mr.. Bashford
laid his story among the people he
knows so we'll and has caught the
spirit and atmosphere of the Puget
Sound country. The title role of the
play essayed by Mr.. Downing, is one
that affords him ample opportunity for
the display Of his wonderful versatil

A writer in the London SATURDAY. Re.

OF mere brute strength Some engines

this lately as the egnineers OF most

graceful railway engine ever built. The
