were surprised beyond their own hopes
at his acting, and without reserve
stamped his John Storm as the best
character he has ever done. Mr.. Co
burn always strives to be original.
He is young and appreciates the fact
that great success will never come by
following in the footsteps Of others.
His conception of John storm is en-
tirely his own. 1t may almost be said
that he creates the role anew for he
has his own opinion as to what would
be an ideal Characterization OF the
part and he works to attain this stand
ard rather than that set by others who
have played storm before him. 1t is
not an injustice to the excellent sup
porting company to say that Mr.. CO.
burn carries the performance himself
by his own personality. Perhaps he
would be less appreciated without such
charming Glory Quale as Miss
Katherine Angus. Miss Angus pos
sesses a striking state presence and full
ly meets all of the requirements of
her part. Altogether the performance
was excellent and afforded a distinct
personal triumph for Mr.. Coburn."

TlLLMAN WILL ARRIVE
TOMORROW MORNING.

The advance sale of seats for the
lecture of Senator Ben. Tillman, who
will be heard on the race question at
the theater tomorrow night, has been
large and the South Carolina Senator
is certain to be greeted by a large au-
dience.
1t is not often that lecture arouses
the interest that has been shown since
the announcement was made that the
pitchfork Senator would address a Sa-
vannah audience on his favorite theme.
While Senator Humans comments are
caustic, and while he is at his warmest
in handling the negro question, there
is said to be nothing in his lecture to
offend the ears of the ladies, and there
will be many of them in his audience
tomorrow night.
By way of prelude Senator Tillman
will probably have something to say
about the reappointment of DR.. Crum
as collector of port at Charleston. The
Senator will give his audience some
idea how he intends to handle the sub
ject when he again opposes the nomi-
nation in the Senate.

ly American, although the scenes are
laid in and around New Orleans dur
ing the latter part of the eighteenth
century. The author states in a pre-
fatory note that it is somewhat auda-
cious to attempt to trace the origin
of the song THE Mocking Bird" to the
eighteenth century but he has pro-
duced something so good that he may
be forgiven. The strains of THE Mock
ing Bird" is used as a signal for the
French patriots, who are striving to
defend the colony from the invasion
of the Spanish, to whom il has been
coded by the French King. Madeline
Besley, who heads the company, is
said to possess a voice with great pow
er and range. She has a number of
fetching songs, among them 1.-THE Sly
Musette," 1.-THE Lion and the Mouse"
and What Is the Matter With the
Moon To-night?" Edgar Atchison- Ely

of Bob Finchley, a Virginian, the chum

"MocIsing bird" PIenses.

Columbia, S. c.. Nov. 1S.-The ini-
tial performance of the 'iMocking Bird
made a hit here tonight. There is
something in the music which suggests
the "Pinafore," and something which
recalls Dolly Warden" but the music
is all new and bright. This is the most
tuneful bit of comedy which has been
presented in Columbia this winter. and
the whole production is daintiness and
refinement itself.
The stars were Miss Besley and Mr..
Ely. Miss Besley is adorable, and her
voice and person are well adapted to
the star part. Mr.. Ely's charm was
infectious. The chorus is large and
we'll selected. The play gets its name
from the grand song which Is woven
into the lines of the production.
The staging represented a home in
New Orleans during the French rule.
The story involves the change of dyn-
asty from France to Spain, and the APP
pearance of the gentleman privateer,
who rescues the French. There were
half a dozen stage calls tonight,
France Glorious France" and the
"Sly Musette." getting an enthusiastic
reception.
