'‘Alabama" Presented With Splendid Fffect
in Savannah.
Those fortunate enough to be present
at‘.he performance of “Alabama” saw
one of the best drams's ever presented
in .savannah.
The scene which forms the foundation
of the plot is laid in Talladega, Ala., and
the characters are true to warm southern
nature and the pretty old town. Tender
love scenes are prolific throughout the
wilnen them.
Fred C. Bangs, in the role of Colonel
Preston, the old planter, cannot be im
proved upon. Ills powerful depiction of
the prejudice of the old southerner
against everything northern because of
ihe devastation of his home by .Sherman's
army and the fact that his son had b
drawn into the union army, which is
brought out in the refusal by Colonel
Preston of his granddaughters hand to
young Armstrong, the railroad agent
from Boston, is one of the most power
ful and emotional portrayals of modern
events upon the stage.
Another splendid scene is the return
of Colonel Preston's son, Harry, in the
role of Captain Davenport, after an ab
sence of eighteen years, only to find his
wifi, dead and his baby girl, who ;vas six
months wid «hjr- lw *, u# L-F r<
