A WEEK OF GOOD OPE It A.
THE OSAU COMPANY’S SUCCESS
FUL ENGAGEMENT.
Tbe “Charity Bail" To-mirrow Night
the Only Attraction Darina Holy
Week—Fannie (Bice in “A Jolly Sur
prise" to Come After Easter—Law
rence Hanley’s Engagement to lo
gin April 17.
The Grau Opera Company closed one of
the most successful week’s operatio engage
ments ever ployed in Savannah last night.
Emma Abbott’s was the only oompany that
has played to larger audiences. Mr. Grau
and his oompany leave this morning for
Galveston, Tex., where they play this
week. The success of the Grau company is
a proof that good opera at popular
prices will pay. The theater was packed
at every night performance last week. Had
it not been for the raiu it would have over
flowed at yesterday’s matinee. As it was
there were few vacant seats. The company
is one of the best comic opera companies
that has ever visited Savanrab. Its re
ceipts for the week’s engagement were well
up toward #I,OOO.
Mr. Grau lost three members ot the com
pany during the week. Thecornetistof the
orchestra and Miss Ward of the chorus
ware summoned to their homes on account
of sickness, and yesterday a telegram was
received saying that tbe father of another
of the chorus was dying.
The only attraolion at the theater Holy
week will be The “Chantv Ball,’’to-morrow
night, and, possibly, at a matinee, although
the management has not as yet decided to
give one. The “Charity Ball” is an old
favorite here. It made a great success
when presented last year by tho same com
pany which played “The Wife” 1 at Janu
ary , and the really fine performanoe given
of that play is the best of recommendations.
The “Charity Ball” having been seen before,
a detailed account of tho story is needless.
It received its first production at the New
York Lyceum in the fall of 1889, and ran
there for nearly a year, when it was sent on
the road, and has since then achieved as
great a success as iu the metropolis. It is a
story full of pathos, yet brightened by
Bparkling gems of comedy. The “Charity
Ball” was written by Messrs. David Belasoo
and H. C. DaMille, and is a four-aot society
drama of New life at the
present time. David Belasoo is a clever
s'age manager and adapter, knowing the
stage in every aspect aud with a keen eye
to every dramatio scene. His partner,
Henry C. DeMille, is a man of scholarly at
tainments, and oomes from a literary
family. The company has been carefully
rehearsed In New York at the Lyceum, and
Manager Frobinau has given his personal
attention to all the details with a view to
giving a performance Identical in all
respects with the original New York pro
duction. The principal actors engaged in
tho representation are Messrs. Arthur
Elliott, Walter H. Crosby, Homer Grany
v >ile. H. A. Sheid m, Fred Conger, A. W.
Gregory, and the Misses Charlotte Tetfell,
Blanche Weaver, Ethel Greybrooke, Joan
Coye and Eliza L.gau.
Savannah’s favorite aotor, Lawrence
Baniey, will begin bis staring tour, proba
bly the best advertised actor of the day.
The play of “The Flayer,” the play in
wtnch Mr Hanley will appear, is au interest
ing one. The story begins where tho father
of the heroine. “ Alathw Clifford,” a
weal iby East Indian merchant, disc vers
she |as fallen in love with tbe actor. The
fa her entices the player to his house and
there proposes to pay him a large sum of
10 nay to leave the stage, if not the coun
try, ns be de-ires his daughter to marry
“Cri ddock,” a horse-racing, wme-drtnkmg
sqmre. whom “Ada” heartily despises. T .e
•tar suggests to tbe merchant that he ex
tend to him an invitation to dinner pro
viding that be would so behave as to in
duce “Ada" to accept for a husbaud the
man of her father’s choice. After dinner
and during the evening, the aotor simulates
drunkenness and conducts himself in 6uoh
a manner as to insult the company
and disgust the young lady. After
his retirement, "Croddock,” besot
ted with wine, reveals to “Clif
ford, In tbe hearing of his daughter, that
having casually inet with the actor later in
the evening at a Covent Garden club, the
actor had confessed the trick he had played
and had accepted a challenge to fight a duel
with a mau who had spoken disrespectful.v
of the merchaut and of “Ada." Convinced
of the groat actor’s love for her, “Ada”
hurries to his lodgings at an early hour to
avert the duel, where she Is surprised by
the unexpected arrival of her father and
cousin. Tbe actor appoars and illustrates
the ability of his true character to such a
degree that tho merchant discards ’‘Crod
dock” as a son-in-law. and entreats the actor
to accept the hand of his daughter, in this
wise verifying tbe correctness of his promise
that “ Ada” should marry the man of her
father’s choice. The company supporting
Mr. Hanley is an excellent one, made up
principally of artists belonging to stock
companies in New York. Mr. HaDley will
be in Savannah April 17.
The approaching performance of 1 ‘Bread
on the Waters” by t e Fleming Dramatic
Association is beiug well rebearsed. and
from the number of tickets sold it looks as
if a financial success is certain. Tne cast
on behalf of tbe Flemings will present
a good play, making it a pro
nounced dramatio success. The re
hearsal held last night was more
than the equal of Thursday’s dress rehearsal,
showing that the cast is not only well up iu
lines, situations and speech, hut is noting
every little variation aud as speedily cor
recting it. This alone made last night’s re
hearsal a very satisfactory one, indeed, to
.Manager Heagarty aud Secretary J. H. Mc-
Nally, whom, in the abseuce of Mr. Flem
ing, have laboriously endeavored to
work out a good show, end they
have succeeded. which is best
evinced by the faot that Mr. Fleming, utter
seeing tbe cast durlug last weeit, said he
was indeed well pleased. Tuesday aud
Thursday toe scenic and dressrehersals will
lie held, wbiob wili be the last until play
night. The cast, which nas done the hardest
rehearsing in the assooiation’s history, will
be afforded considerable rest, and they are
glad to get this option from the manage
ment.
An anecdotal paragraph recently went
the rounds of the press concerning Mary
Lilly, the old nurse of Miss Helena .Fetter.
Miss Fetrer met her not long ago m Louis
ville during tbe engagement tnere of Edwin
Mbton Royal’s stirring play “Friends,” ana
said, “Well, mammy, I see you have been
getting into tbe newspapers.” “Yes,” said
tho old woman with fine scorn, “Aintthat
scandious.”
Easter week will bring Fannie Rioe April
5 and 6. Her play “A Jollv Surprise” has
been well received throughout tbe entire
South, and iu New Orleans one of tbe
largest engagements known in years has
just been closed. Miss Rica, besides beu.g
pretty, vivacious and full of chio,.is said to
be well nigb irresistible.
Verdi has written twenty-3ix operas be
sides "Falstaff.” Ismael Fasha. Viceroy of
Egypt gave him lUO.OOU francs for “Alda.”
He has set his heart on building in Milan a
homo for aged needy musical artists, aud
,he has for this purpose laid aside 2,000,000
traucs.
It is said that during tbe last three years
Stuart Robson has played ’’She Stoops to
Conquer” nearly 7uo times. Tbe comedy
has not been played a greater number of
tune, in New York or London since its
original production a hundred years ago.
Lawrence Hanley in his coming tour
of tbe south will play “Ham.et in a
blonde wig. and exact copy of that used by
Charles Feebler. HU dress will, however,
be ihe same as that worn by Mr. Edwin
Booth.

CAUSE OF THE RAINY SPELL.
It Was Duo to a Low Pressure Area
in the Gulf States.
The area of low pressure which oentered
in the gulf states yesterday and which had
some effect upon the blizzard which pre
vailed in the northeast, was responsible for
the rainy spell which waa geroral in this
locality.
The temperature, however, wae oil that
could have oeen des red, the thermometer
averaging 4° above the t ormal.
Generally clear weather has followed this
bad weather of yesterday, and the prob
ability is that it will remain oiear, at least
for the next thirty-six hours,
A compilation of the statistics for tbe
last twenty-two years by Observer Smyth
shows that the average weather at .Savan
nah for April has been duriug that time.
The mean temperature for April has been
66°, whion is about the average for tue en
tire year. Tne warmest April was that of
1878, with an average of (19.4°. Tbe coldest
April was that of 1875, with an average of
62.5°. The highest temperature duriug any
April was 89°, on the 6th aud 16th, iu 1876
and 1887. The lowest temperature was 35“,
on the 2d, in 1881. Tbe average date on
which last “killing" frost occurred in spring
was March 2.
The average rainfall for tho month was
3.61 inches. Tbe average number of days
with .01 of an inch or more was 7. The
greatest monthly rainfall was 8.82 inches,
in 1877. The leas’- was 0.16 inches, in 1892.
The greatest rainfall recorded iu any 24
consecutive hours was 6.12 inches, April 16
ami 17, 1879.
The average number of clear days was 13,
the avorage number of partly cloudy days
10 and the average number of cloudy days 7.
The prevailing winds were from tbe
south. The highest velocity during any
April was thirty eight miles on the 17th
and 2d in 1883 and 1884.
Those figures form the basis for a calcu
lation as to what kind of weather may be
expeoted next month.
