Savannah Theatre —The benefit of Mr.
H. Davenport, last evening, drew otit the
largest house which ha* yet assembled with
in tbe walls of the Theatre. The beautiful
Sbakspearean play of Romeo and Juliet was
rendered very acceptably, although not with
out obvious drawbacks. Mr. Davenport’s
“ Romeo” was a thoroughly good and schol
arly performance, as, indeed, are all that
gentleman's characters. The severe illness
under which Miss LaFond labored last even
ing was painfully evident, and her courage
ous and willing efforts were* under the cir
dumstances, almost as gratliylng to her
friends as unbounded sucoess would have
been.
Mr. Weir euitalned the. character of Mer
«trtio very finely. Mrs. Berrell as the
“sur«c,” and Mr. Bimp9on aa “Friar Lau
rewx" were excellent, and through the earn
««t »eppert of every one in the cast, the
piece went off smoothly and succeesfully.—
At the close of the performance, in response
to the persistent demands of the enthusiastic
audience, Mr. D wenport appeared before the
curtiiin and made the following brief, but ap
propriate and fei ling, speech :
x>iu«a>dG sTv-tu bn: Permit me briefly
but .ts oci-tely, to tender you my sincere
thanks tor this onexpncted end most flatter
ing evidence ot your kindness and good feel
lng lam not vain enough to imagine that
this demonstration baa been earned by my
professional merit, but attribute it to your
cordial and generous inclinations. Therefore
the greater the kindness upon your part, the
greater the obligation upon mine.
I cheerfully avail myself’ of ‘ : this
opportunity to thank you for the leniency,
and considerate indulgence yon have
shown us all during our brief stay
amongst you. You are aware that our facili
ties are not the greatest for the strictly pro
per production ot plays ; still we have all
done our best, and although the lisk wo ran
upon our. adventure has not proved as pe
cuniarly successful as would be desired, we
at least have the satisfaction of feeling that
our eflorts to entertain you have elicited your
desire and willingness to sustain us. lube
naliof the company and the management, I
thank you, and trust that under more pro- ■
pitinus circumstances, and that wherever our
variable lots in life may ca»t us, we shall be
mutually pleased with oar meeting. I should
be lacking in gratitude did 1 not also tender
tvhe ? are most heartily due
---to the Press of this city, which has in the
handsomest manner lent its * powerful in
fluence in our behalf, and which has been
signally kind and complimentary to myself
Again ladies and gentlemen, let me thank
1 ,y°a. and wish you all as much happiness «a
you have conferred upon me.” PP M
The excellent evening’s entertainment
.Wound up with Mr. Herndon’s inimitable
“Viltikins and his Dinah,” which was encor
ed with a perfect storm of applause—-and a
performance upon the Tight Rope by Mr.
O'Neill, a soldier from the 12th Maine Regt.
Mr. O’Neill acquitted JUlmgelf very creditably
despite the disadvantages under which he
Übored iron the ibckrelag of the “guys.”
, J, WILKRS BOOTH.
John Wilkes Booth—the infamous— was
: born on “the Farm,” Dear Baltimore, Md.,
I in 1838 —and is consequently but twenty
! seven years old. He made his first stage ap
pearance in 1855, as Richmond, in Bichard
111, at the St. Charles theatre in Baltimore,
and in the tall ot 1857, appeared under the
name of Wilkes at the Arch street theatre in
Philadelphia, where be played stock pam
during the entire season. The name of
Wilkes was given him by his father in honor
of an old Baltimore friend, Jim Wilkea, a
fuccrss'.ul merchant and great wit. Young
3 oihnext became a member of the Rich
mond, Va., theatre, improved rapidly in his
profession, and became a great favorite there
During the season of 1880 and ’GI we find
him engaged still further South, playing
ciiUfiy at Montgomery and Columbus, Ga
Prohftb.y not fancying c usjripfioadnto the
S uthern army, however much he favored
the cause, he t scaped North, and in 1861 and
'62 played ia St. Louis, Louisville aud other
Western cities. It was during the season
following, %e believe, that be first appeared
in Cincinnati, at Wood’s theatre, and led the
impression, that though rather an unequal
actor as might be expected of one of his lim
ited exnerienco, be gave unmistakable evi
dence of genuine dramatic talent. He had,
added to his uative genius, the advantage of
a voice musically full and rich, a face almost
classic in outline, features highly intellectual
a piercing black eye, capable o“f expressing
the fiercest and the tenderest paslbn and
emotion, and a commanding figure and im
pressive stage address. Iu his transitions
from the quiet and reflective passages of a
part to fierce and violent outbreaks of pas
sion. his sudden and impetuous manner bad
in it something of that electrical force and
power wbieh made the elder Booth so cele
brated, and called up afresh to the memory
of men of the last generation the presence',
voice and manner of his father. Convivial
in his habits, sprightly aud genial in conver
sation, John Wilkes made many acquain
tances and friends among the young of bis
own age in the city— au acquaintance that
was renewed during two subsequent engage
ments.
Our recollection of Booth is somewhat in
distinct; but we remember his features in
repose had rather a sombre and melancholy
cast; yet, under agreeable influences or
emoiions the expression was very animated
and glowing. His hair, jet black and glossy,
curled sligntly, and set off in fine relief a
high, intellectual forehead, and a face full of
intelligence. Both chin aud nose were re
markably prominent, and the firm set lips
and lines about the mouth indicated firmness
of will, decision and resolution. He was
scrupulously neat in his dress, and selected
bis habit with rare perception of what was
becoming to his figure and complexion. He
would pass anywhere for a neatly, and not
overly, dressed man of fashion.
Os hia political views very little was
known. He kept a still tongue on the sub
ject, so far as we have heard. Being of
Southern birth and education, it was pre
sumed his sympathies tended in that direc
tion ; but he exhibited no particular warmth
or zeal for the rebellion, and nothing to indi
cate the remotest desire to farther the cause
by so much as giving It pecuniary aid, much
less personal assistance. It is reported by a
gentleman who heard the conversation, that
during his engagement in Louisville' in 1862,
Booth fell Info a controversy with the treas
urer of the theater—a rabid secessionist
while standing one morning in the box office
He remaiked In effect ,thathe was a Southern
maq, and liked the people of the South, who
had been kind to hint, but he could not, for
all that, admit that they-had any right or oc
casion to secede • that they had it all their
own way in. Congress, and that if they in
sisted on fighting they should have taken the
American flag aud fought under that. There
is another story to the effect that Booth,
while playing an engagement in Cleveland a
year or more ago, asserted in a public bar
room that tho than who would kill Abraham
Lincoln would.'gain a more enviable notorie
ty than Washington himself. It is of course
impossible, to sav wbetbat these reported
sayings are apocryphal of not.
•• The last appearance of Booth on the stage
(except at one oi two benefits in Washington
Was {it the Winter Garden,*, New York, and
In conjunction with his brothers, Edwin and
Junius Brutus, 1n the play Os Julius Cresar,
for the benefit of the Shakespeare Monument
Fund. . He was, we believe, to have played
with tbefn again at the same theatre on the
22d of this month for the benefit of the same
fund. The play selected was Romeo and
Juliet, the cast of the Booths being—John
Wilkes as Romeo, Edwin as Mercutio, and
Junius as Frinr Lawrence. As we have said
he has played no engagement the present
season. He left the stage to engage in oil
speculations, in which he was quite fortunate
having netted within six mouths between
$60,000 and $75.,0uQ. had he any inten
tion ofresunr.ng the stage, and declined all
managerial applications— petroleum, as he
wrote, being mote profitab e than the pro
fession.
It is difficult to understand what motives
could have prompted Booth to the commis
sion of the great crime ot' which he stauds
accused. There afeemvto be no doubt that
it was along cherished design, and that it
was to have been executed at lea»t a month
and ten days before It occurred. Had it then
happened the nation would not have been so
profoundly surprised. Richmond was then
u possession of the rebels, defended by a
large and well appointed army, under a con
summate general.
He who could lend himself to so dark and
damnable an enterprise could have at least
pleaded that the result of the confusion and
excitement produced by the removal of the
fountain head of executive authority would
be tkvorable tb the Confederate cause, and
arouse the South from its desponding leth
argy. But he has not evetdAhis poor excuse
to offer. The crime was committed at a time
when life loss of no one, or a dozen men
could, in so much as a hair, affect the result;
when, indeed, all being-given up as lost to
the rebellion, the insurgents were themselves
looking to peace, and placing their trust in
the clemency and large hearted magnanimity
of the Executive for terms as little humiliat
ing and penal in their character as it was
within his power to grant. At tbs moment
the assassin’s top certain bullet sped on its
fatal mission there was no man in authority
to whom the insurgent leaders and their fol
lowers could loo* with more confidence in
th«r hour of need. It would, indeed, be.
very fortunate for them if it could be
proven that this' infamous deed was the
ireak of two or three crazy fanatics,
1 themselves, without instigation
f^ JD “ the robel authorities, and was executed
I notoriety, no mat
*L*J"** meaM. But such, we anticipate,
I *»* P™Te to be the case The madams
of the double assassination, the preparation
to escape; everything, in fact, connected
with it, indicate deliberate preparation,secre
tivenesF, caution, and probably the contem
plat ion of a more bloody purpose than tbe
death of two members of the administration.
As it stands, history foils to present u» an in
stance of assassination mure dastardly, more
i cowardly, more revolting in all its details,
[.than that which has filled the land with
mourning, and all hearts with the very gall
and wormwood of bitterness. There will be
no rest for the authors of this crime. The
very a:r will babble of them, aud the sea
cast them upon the shore. They may hide
in the mountains, but justice will track them
there. The wilderness can not conceal theta,
nor the uttermost parts of the earth secrete
them from that retribution which will terribly
overtake and consume them. And in the
future no names will be more abhorr.ed, ex
ecrated and hated than those of the assassins
of the President and his Prime Minister.
