DELIGHTFUL COMEDY
NEXT SATURDAY
Oscar Fignan in The
Lightning Conductor.

Those, who are prone to enjoy
IN good laugh, quickly followed by an
other, before an effervescing farce
comedy, are almost sure of greet
ing the offering at Glover's Opera
House on Saturday matinee and
might, when Oscar Figman will be
seen in THE Lightning Conductor. .
This play is one of up-to-date sport,
manners and love-making, and has
been most capitally adapted from c.
N. & A. M. WilIiamson's famous nov
eel, The Lightning Conductor" into
"a brisk and lively comedy of ro-
nance and adventure by Harry B.
Smith, he of comic opera fame.
The story has not been lost in the
handling by Mr.. Smith, and relates
10 the romance of an American girl
trying to tour France in an antiquat-
led motor car, Her Chauffeur deserts
~on a lonely roadway in France. In
leaving her with the disabled car in
this predicament she and the chaper-
oning Aunt are discovered by the
Hon. John Winston, an English gen
tleman, who enchanted by the girls
beauty. plays knight errant and
succors her from her unpleasant sit
nation.
In order to prolong an acquaintance
so unconventionally begun, he repre-
SCENTS himself to be a Chauffeur in
search of employment. He is en-
+ gagged under the cognomen of his
own mechanician, James Brown,
and from this change in identity all
manner of awkward and embarrass-
ing situations arise. Difficulties are
augmented by one Talleyrand, who
is pursuing Molly Randolph because
she is reputed to be very rich. He
hates the gentlemanly Chauffeur and
soon establishes sufficient incriminat-
ing evidence to convict Brown of the
nmrder of his supposed master, the
Hon. John Winston Meanwhile Mol

having become interested in the pie
bian person of her chauffeur, but she
again changes her opinion and sees
that her interest has not been mis-
placed,
The audience never caught in
1he snarl and infringe that surrounds
the supposed James Brown, as it is
always privy to the fact that he is
! John Winston and the suspense is
ccreated in trying to conjecture how
the masquerading baronet will eX-
culpate himself from all of the crimes
charged up against him. This, of
course, he does to the satisfaction of
everyone in simple manner in the
last act
e. A. Well has surrounded Mr.. Fig
man with a most pleasing cast of
players and has given "The Light

stage setting, among other features
being the thrilling auto scene.

SAVANNAH, GA, Nov 4.-(SpeciaD
News has been received here from
New York that the Central of Georgia
was sold to e. H. Hartman a month
ago, with the agreement that the
stock of the road was to be delivered
in February. 1t is understood that
Hartman has already made a sub
stantial advance on the purchase fig
ure, which believed to be con-
siderable advance on the figures at
which Messrs. Perry and Thorne OBJ
tanned it. Their purchase price was

Birmingham if the latter road is I'M

In case Fish beats Hartman for the

no doubt be sold proftably. At
