Dorothy Vernon"

The introduction of Miss Laura
Burt to Greenville piaygoers was in
deed a pleasant event, and it is safe
to assert that no theatrical star, com
ing to us practically unknown. will
receive more cordial reception than
she Her Interpretation of the will
tul madcap that resists the attempt
OF her ster parent, Sir George Yer
non, to force her to marry a despised
cousin; and her stellar devotion to
Sir John Manners, the stalwart son of
Scotland, who conspires to regain
the throne of England for his Queen,
Mary Stuart, is the work of a finish
ed actress. In her lighter scenes
when she encourages the anger of
her stern part, she is at her best, and
afforded much amusement with her
clever childish mimicry. However,
she Is fully equal to the higher tragic
roles, and her flights of angry passion
are too genuine to be questioned.
Mr.. Henry Stanford gave a master
full rendering of Sir John Manners,
son of the Earl of Rutland, and was
a pleasing second to Miss Burt
Mr.. Frederick S. Wright made a
capital stern parent. and did not fan
at all times to impress upon everyone
that he was Sir George Vernon, the
master of Haddon Hall
Mr.. Joseph Selman as the objection
able sutton for Dorothy's hand, was
convincing. and made the most of an
odious part. His makeup and COS
tunes were indeed excellent
Miss Anne Elliston was indeed 4
beautiful Mary, Queen of Sets. but in
the annunciation of her lines she was
very weak, and she failed to give that
grace and dignity to the part as it
warranted
Miss Eugene Du Boise, while not
endowed with the fatal gift of beauty,
was fairly good as Elizabeth Tudor,
the tyrant Queen Of England.
To the lot of Mr. Alfred James fell
the most difficult character of Perkin,
the deformed fool of the Earl of Rut-
land His clever wit, his loving de-
votlon to Sir John and Miss Dorothy.
and finally his wish to accompany
his Queen into exile, were clever1y in
terwoven into a character that at once
appealed to ones emotions His
work was that of a finished artist;
without a flaw or strain.
Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall"
was indeed a treat, and should have
had better house at the evenings
performance. The scenery and cos
tuning were all realistic and carried
one back to the time when kings and
queens bartered for one another's
head,

Bishop Johnson's Address to Negroe

Bishop Johnson, of Washington
City, IN addressing an audience OF
negroes, gave the gang North of Ma
sons and Dixon's line the following:
81 was educated in the North and
lived there twelve years Forty-tow
years I lived in the South, and be-
tween the Yankee and the Southerner,
give me the Southern gentleman ev-
cry time" Bishop Johnson expresses
the sentiment of every intelligent and
honest negro; the Southern white
man has been the best friend and SAT-
est counsellor of the negro; he knows
his nature, understands his conditions,
his weakness and his ability to direct
his affairs with sound judgment and
conduct himself with proper discre-
ton from a moral standpoint. In
dealing with the negro the South has
stood as guardian towards ward
and the antagonims now between the
races is due to the intermeddling of
people from the North. These people
have put foolish ambitions in the ne
groes' head which as brought about
antagonims between the whites and
blacks. The trouble will contiue to
grow worse as long as the negro looks
to the Yankee instead of to the South
ern white man for advice.

ABOUT THE PLAY
Under this head will be found

Some Good Rules for Theatregoer

Some Good Rules for Theatregoers
I. Approach the ticket-seller with
humility and the proper Difference due
one in his exalted position.
2 be tactful III ordering your
seats-by which we means sparinp OF
words; for there is nothing a ticket
seller dlslikes. SO much as to be spok-
en- to.
3. Never secure seats in advance.
You are sure to get bad ones, for all
the aisle-seats in the front rows are
reserved for the dead-heads.
4. Don't keep a long line waiting.
Rush up to the box-office, grab your
seats, and run. If afterward YOU dis
cover that you gave the ticket man a
$40 bill by mistake, don't worry. He
probably needs the money
5. Never examine your seats After
you have bought 'em move off Re
member the ticket-seller has to see
many faces. And one minute of yours
IS more than enough Hence what a
relief when the man at the gate in
forms you that your tickets were for
the previous night"
9. When possible, buy seats located
IN the center of the row, so that you'll
have dozen ladies on either side OF
you. all only too delighted to rise
whenever you are seized with a thirs-
ty inclination.
7. Go late The disturbance you
make will be greatly welcomed by the
occupants of the boxes, and you give
them chance to look you over and
decide on the style of your clothes.
8. Forget that there are others
around you. If you want to laugh.
laugh by all means-and laugh out
loud, so that the man who fails to see
any humor in the line which amuses
you will thoroughly realize his infer
iority and fully appreciate how def
clent he is in a sense of true humor. y
Q. If you don't like the play, say
so-and don't be diffident about it,
either. Express your opinion freely
nay, forcibly Criticism is good, and
all those III your immediate vicinity
will welcome your trenchant observa-
tons. They have paid good money
for their seats, and it is only natural
that they wish to know what sort OF
play they are witnessing
10. Above all, converse genially
throughout the performance, especial
ly If you are i'll a private box. This
endears you to the masses
II. And last, but not least, veil
loudly your approval of the play, and
once in while, a shrill whistle will
will help-for then the people on the
outside will be sorry they did not
come IN.

conquers and sets everything right

Bingham is adding another success to

The play is not screamingly funny;
but it is entirely human. and Miss
Bingham's acting is in thorough ac-
cord with the spirit Of the story. and
all is done quietly. humonously and
artiscallly. The production at times
seems to drag, due partly to some
dull characters, but With such a flin-
ished company of English players

In referring to the position OF the
the editor OF this paper on the Code
question. Hon. A. J. Rose, at the
Opera House speaking, inferred that
it was because he received the office
he now holds by appointment. No
man knows better that this is untrue
than Mr.. Rose himself, for In the last
election, when the measure was de-
feated by only 7 votes, we held no
office, and not only voted for the
Charter. but supported Mr.. Shields
over Mr.. Yerger for Mayor.
Again, we might say here, I'M
like Mr.. Rose. who also holds an OF
flee bv appointment. a Trustee on our
Public School Board, which he failed
to state. received at the hands of the
men he is now trying to turn out and
who changed his position on TINS
question. so to speak, in the twlnkling
of an eye. we are not one thing to-
dav and another tomorrow. we
stand true to principle and friends

nloniai of its truth.
Again, where is there city undel
the Code whose credit is better thar
that OF Greenville-wllose bonds are
more sought and bring higher pre-
MUM. There are none. If our Char
ter was not the equal of the Code, the
bond companies, who hold these
bonds, would no doubt, ask the
change or refuse our bonds. The
move just at this time IS unwise, fol-
if carried. it means a complete change
in or city affairs and the people are
TOO busy to give it the attention such
a matter deserves
II the true motive of this move
ment is reform, it would be far better
to let the City Charter stand and by
petition, demand of your Council a
cut iii all city expenses where prac-
ticable, the appointment Of water
works commission to manage and
operate the city's water works and
sewerage, the releasing of all strings
on the city's marshall and let him do
his duty under the law, the appoint
ment of an Inspector of weights and
measures and the erection of a public
SCALE; and the requiring of all hold
ers of city franchises to extend serv-
ice TO all parts of the city where de-
manded and such other needed chang
es as the petition or citizens meeting
may set forth. Such movement The
Times will support and support glad
ly, but the other unwise and unneces-
sary one. 20 PLACE the city under the
Code, it thinks unwise, and will vote
against it.

THE Little Joker"

Something was radically wrong
last night with the small company
that essayed to enliven the audience
with poor songs and even more time
worn comedy jests The company
was probably miffed about something
and endeavored to take spite out on
the audience; or had imbibed in "the
cup that cheers" until they were I'M
able TO handle their parts
With the exception of Henry Lee
one, who. as Prof. Frangipanne; and
Miss Marie Glazer, who sang we'll
but seldom. the production was very
weak and grew very tiresome.
Miss Katherine Nelson. as Dolly
Darlington. and Harry Burgess. as
Ezekiel Brown, rendered the song,
Crazy Over You" accompanied by a
grotesque dance in pleasing manner,
but the rest of the performance was
mediocre.
Arthur Dunn was very Indifferent
and apparently did not care whether
he pleased or not | have seen him
work hard to please in former pro-
auctions. but his last effort will not
endear him to Greenville.
The music Of most the songs was
tcatchy and pleasing. but they were al
poorly sung. with the exception OF
Oliver Holden and Harry Leone.
The Little Joker euchred himself
out of the good graces OF the Grand's
patrons, and with all his bowers fail
! ed ANONYMOUSLY to turn a trick. His
leads were poor: and with a shorl
deck eco cards. he failed to win
/ the plaudits of the audience
