with gifts, was placed. The little in

number of which were given, were
much enjoyed. There were also a
number of recitations, all appropriate

dialogues, and some little character
pieces. All showed careful training,
and the unconscious manner, of the
little folks as they went through their
various parts was very attractive.
After the programme, the Christmas

and the ladies of the board wish to
extend their warm thanks to those
who contributed in any way to the

For CLOUDY DAYS.

For cloudy weather don't forget that
it is well to have a dash of red in the
costume, even if one does not have
an all red dress. Pipings of robin red
breast red. or OF turkey red leather'
make a very handsome nnlsn LOT
dress of sorrel brown, deep green or
cranberry red.
II is no harm to have dashing red

AT THE THEATER


The Arnold Stock Company, which
is to be at the Savannah Theater all
the week, gave its first performance
yesterday afternoon, presenting for a
Christmas matinee. THE Little Moth
err" The company is much above the
average popular price show and the
performance yesterday was well at
tended. The production was liberal
~ applauded and the audience SEEM
ed pleased from beginning to end.
The Introduction of number OF
specialties between the acts added
greatly to the pleasure of the per-
Torrance. All the specialties were
good and won their share Of the APP
plause Last night "A Daughter of
Satan" was presented, and tonight.
Midnight in Chinatown" is to be
given. The company will play for
the remainder of the week with NATL
nees Wednesday and Saturday.
Politics as stage topic was never
successful from a box Office point of
view until George AIDE came along with
The County Chairman mot a musi-
| cal comedy, whereupon the Studebak-
er Theater, Chicago and Wallacks
Theater, New York. began to be jam
med 10 the doors with eager and laugh
ter convulsed audiences as it had never
been before.
The situation puzzled theatrical
managers quite as deeply as the fact
that Mr.. AIDES comedy was the first
rural play to capture Broadway, and
they began to analyze They found
that the political element of The
County Chairman" was merely a back
ground, and that standing out from
it with prominence was a pretty and
affecting love interest in pleasant con-
| trast to an otherwise unbroken series
of mirth provoking incidents.
1t was this even balancing of seri-
Gus dramatic sentiment with irresist-
| ably comic episodes and situations that
kept the crowds constantly between
the verge of tears and paroxysms Of
delight. Politics was mere side is
sue, yet it captured and captivated
for the reason that the character cloth
ed in it was a rugged. homely. hon.
est, kind hearted yet shrewd and
| adroit country wire puller who broke
| into the affections of the spectators
from the very start.
''The County Chairman" will be here
on next Monday.
