All the Week Except Tuesday
Night—Cna Clayton Company.
Tneadny Night— 1 “A Runaway Girl”
"Two Little Vagrants," a play from
the French of Pierre Decourcelle, was
X resented at a matinee and night per
formance yesterday. At both perform
ances there were good audience®. The
play Is a melodrama in four acts, the
scenes being laid in Paris and Fontoin
bieau, and there are some strong
scenes and climaxes in the play. This
is the first time the play has been pro
duced in the South, but it has been
on the road for six seasons, and has
proven a big success. It is well set and
ithe presenting company is evenly bal
anced and capable. There are no stars
but the principal roles are all well tak
en care of.
All of this week, with the exception
of Tuesday night, will be taken up by
a repertoire company headed by Una
Clayton, a clever soubrette who has
Xlayed several engagements here.
The appearance of “A Runaway
Girl,” with clever little Arthur Dunn
as "Flipper,” supported by a company
of good people, will be one of the best
performances of the season. Mr. Dunn

the year before, and his Impersonation
of the character is every bit as good
as Powers’. Asa matter of fact, in
point of stature and size, he is more
typical in the part.
Theatrical companies by the score
are going in from the road, either be
cause they are forced in by bankruptcy
or because their backers are loath to
drop more money. The season is said
to be a bad one, particularly for un
known productions.
Most of the managers of the com
panies which have played in Savan
nah, however, have a different story to
tell. Nearly all of them report busi
ness good, not exactly howling, but
satisfactory. The trouble is thpt too
many new. untried and worthless
things are being put upon the stage
by people who imagine that the the

the result that many go to the wall.

business have been more successful
this season, and have made more
money than has been the case in sev
eral years.
Clyde Fitch has something like a
dozen plays now being acted from
which he receives royalties of 10 per
cent, of the gross receipts. It Is esti
mated that he will receive fully a hun
dred thousand dollars from his plays
this season.
Miss TTna Clayton and her stock
company will open their engagement
to-morrow night in "Miss Military.” a
tale of the Cuban War, in which there
are some very exciting scenes. Miss
Clayton is well known here, having
played a number of engagements. As
usual with popular price companies la
dies will be admitted free the first
night when accompanied by a paid
ticket, provided the ticket is purchased
before 6 o’clock p. m.
The following notice of the company
is taken from the Mobile Register: "A
crowded house greeted the Una Clay
ton comany when the comedy version
of "Nell Gwynn” was presented. The
public had been promised a good show,
and particular stress had been laid up
on the costuming and the scenic set
tings. The audience expected a fairly
good show. That it was surprised and
delighted was plainly demonstrated by
the applause. From the rising of the
curtain to its tall the entire perform
ance was worthy of all the praise be
stowe4 upon it. The character of Mis
tress Nell beat suits Miss Clayton, and
she was dainty, capricious, charming
and daring, Just as Nell should be.
Francis Morey, as Charles H.. Guy Hlt
ner as the Duke of Buckingham, Miss
Frances Innis as Moll, an orange girl,
were very good, and Mias Rose Ber
nard as the Duchess of Portsmouth, the
French spy who caused ait the trouble,
was very strong in the tragic parts.
At no time did the coatuming or stag
ing mar the performance,”
Perhaps no name among the prom
inent onee in the theatrical world Is
more familiar to th* general public
'hau that of Mr. Arthur Dunn, the

very clever and artistic performance
of that role. ,
Those who have seen this produc
tion can readily understand the many
requirements demanded of the artist
who assumes the part of "Flipper."
the jockev. As its name implies, he
must be flip of speech, small of stature,
nimble of foot, quick of action, and
alert and wideawake always. He must
be able to sing a song or a dozen of
them, dance a jig or a reel, be quick
and pointed in repartee, and conceal
his identity of face, figure and speech
at a moment’s notice. This wonder
ful versatility Mr. Arthur Dunn pos
sesses perhaps more than any artist
In America. It has enabled him to
score a very decided and pronounced
success in this production.
Mr. Dunn will be seen in conjunc
tion with some fifty other artists,
comprising the Augustine Daly Com
pany which presents "A Runaway
Girl” on Tuesday evening.
The play is a clean-cut musical
comedy from George Edw’ardes’ Gaiety
Theater, London, and Daly's Theater,
New York city. The company appear
ing in the production is composed of
Metropolitan artists of high standing.
The comedy will be staged, costumed
and interpreted as befits the standard
established by the name it bears, that
of Augustin Daly, a sure guarantee of
all that is clean, artistic, meritorious
and enjoyable.
It is not generally known that many
actors now before the public have other
artistic gifts than those displayed by
them In the pursuit of their histrionic
profession. Joseph Jefferson Is a well
known painter in his leisure moments,
and Bernhardt has given to the artistic
world examples of her talent as a
sculptor. If anyone should stroll ipto
the exhibitions given each year in Lon
don or New York they could not fall
to be attracted by several dainty wa
ter color sketches depleting scenes in
Algerian life. After enjoying the pic
tures you will naturally look for the
artist’s signature, and modestly and
unobtrusively on .each painting will be
noted "H. Dudley Hawley.” Few will
connect this name with that of the
young actor who is making such a suc
cess as "The Imp,” in "When We
Were 21,” which will soon be seen In
this city. But such, however, is the
case. The young artist and the young
actor are one and the same person,
proving conclusively that artistic tem
perament will sometimes find expres
sion even in different channels.
The importance to the actress of an
alluring and musical voice can hardly
be over-estimated. Even with an at
tractive personality, along with eyes
like a famous Italian tragedienne’s,
which were said to “say fine things,”
if the actress has a voice, harsh and
discordant as a harp played on with
a hammer, she has small chance of
winning her way on the stage.Of course
there have been actresses that have
succeeded despite the fact that their
voices were beyond the art of a tuner.
Sophia Arnold, the famous French ac
tfess, was one of these. It was said of
her that she had "as fine an asthma as
was ever heard.” Yet, there is hardly
a parallel on the English-speaking
stage, since all the great actresses
from the charming Peg Woffington to
the festive 7 i. Jordan, had voices
atuned for ripples and daintiness of dic
tion. Mrs. Patrick Campbell’s voice has
magic in its melody, and Ellen Terry’s
would “charm a bird off a bush.” The
three most popular of American ac
tresses, Viola Allen, Maud Adams and
Julia Harlowe, have voices that mur
mur Aeolian sounds with fetching ten
dernesses. Words drop like honey from
their lips. Miss Marlowe's quickly
swells from plaintive sweetness into
full, strong and commanding accents;
Miss Adams’ Is like the notes of a flute
played upon by a master; while Viola
Allen’s is a cordial to the soul, rich
and full like 'the lucious juice of the
vine. Its tones sink with steady
melting sweetness into the heart. In
the love scenes of "In the Palace of the
King,'’ Miss Allen's voice is, as Wil
liam Winter lately wrote, “as en
trancing as the notes of warbling
birds in the vales of Arcady.”
That Miss Allen is to appear in this
city during the present season is a
matter of congratulation for local the
ater-goers. She will present, "In the
Palace of the King.”
There has been a great ado over cer
tain companies closing their seasons
for the reason that their managers have
not been able to secure a New York
opening and "a New York endorse
ment.” The fact is, however, that very
many of the biggest successes of the
past either failed Ignobly In New York,
or else never appeared there at all. If
the play and company is of the right
sort the provincials, so-called, do not
have to have New York tell them so.
Good news is carried on the same wire,
travels on the same express and is a
part of the same letter with the bad.
Booth, Jefferson, Marlowe. Goodwin
and Russell have never needed "a New
York endorsement.” There is anew
star this year, too, who has not both
ered on this score, being little Ade
laide Thurston, who is appearing with
conspicuous success in "Sweet Clover.”
Despite the fact that she has not trou
bled her pretty head about New York,
she has been playing to crowded houses
all along the theatrical highway and
making a fine name for herself, a name
already made conspicuous by her great
artistic success in the “Little Minis
ter.” Some New York plays with "in
dorsements" have proven weird and
awful affairs.
The effervescent William A. Brady
hit upon a most successful scene at
the opening night of Grace George, his
wife, by being on the stage when an
unexpected rise of the curtain dis
closed him to the audience in a storm
coat and giving his wife a most eni
pliutie hug and kiss. The audience
yelled with delight, and Brady sprinted
front the stage. Miss George blushed
and stammered out: "Ladies and gen
tlemen, Mr. Brady was Just telling me
that the authoress, Mrs. Barger, had
become so nervous that she could not
sit out the play.” Then the audience
yelled again.
In "Under Southern Sktey ” Ralph
Stuart appears us the hero, while the
villain is played by Cuyler Hastings.
Unfortunately for Mr. Stuart’s peace
of mind Hastings attracts more of the
audience’s attention because he is the
handsomer man. In the a&me com
pany are two real society women who
likewise take the attention of the audi
ence from the excellent work of the
hero. , They are Mrs. Jack Wllnier

of <’oromodore Vanderbilt, and Mi”m.

more than six months of persistent ef
fort. Nearly all of the people men
tioned In the foregoing are known or
have been seen here. Mrs. Durant de
Ponte spent several months here two
winters ago, and made many friends
during her visit. Ralph Stuart was
here this season with “Lady Hunt
worth’s Experiment," and Cuyler Has
tings is the excellent young actor who
appeared here In the leading role of
"Sherlock Holmes” last season.
“The Way of the World,” Clyde
Fitch’s play, in which Elsie de Wolf
is now appearing, has been so success
ful that a prominent publisher has al
ready made arrangements with the au
thor to reverse the usual procedure and
to have a novel made out of the play.
Fitch is working on It, and it will be
published during the holidays.
A London correspondent, writing of
Beerbohm Tree’s production of “The
Last of the Dandies,” the Clyde Fitch
play in which the English actor ap
pears as the famous wit and dandy,
Count D’Orsay, says a more beautiful
scenic production has never been seen
on the London stage. The writer also
speaks well of the play, and, com
menting on its reception by the review
ers, adds that the fact is the London
critics, like some London actors, will
not see much that is good in anything
hailing from the United States, wheth
er it is anew play or a newcomer on
the stage.
“Maid Marian,” the new De Koven
and Smith opera, a successor of "Robin
Hood,” has met with success in Phila
delphia, where the Bostonians are pro
ducing it. It Is said to be a pleasing
comic opera, but not as. good as "Robin
Hood.” Who expected that it would be?
May Irwin is Just as positive as she
can be that she will never, no, never,
be seen on the stage again after this
season.
Kyrle Bellew, in “A Gentleman of
France,” kills so many people before
the play ends, it is said, that the stage
work is a drama that needs a Coroner,
not a stage manager.
Rudyard Kipling and Cosmo Hamil
ton have made a dramatization of Mr.
Kipling’s ndvel of "The GadsbyS,”- and
it is to be produced at the Prince of
Wales’ in London.
Odette Tyler, who is starring with
her husband, R. D. McLean, in "Cori
olanus,” was compelled to remain out
of the oast for several performances
last week owing to an attack of quin
sy. She has entirely recovered, and is
again playing her role in that produc
tion.
Mrs. Fiske has just closed her latest
theatrical venture in New York—" M
iranda of the Balcony”—at the Man
hattan Theater. The play was a fail
ure.
Mrs. Durant Da Ponte of New Or
leans. well known to a number of Sa
vannah poeple through having spent
some time here with her sister, Mrs.
E. H. Hinton, two years ago, made
her professional debut on the stage of
the Republic Theater in New York last
week, supporting Grace George in “Un
der Southern Skies.” Mrs. Da Ponte
is known on the stage as Roza Du
rant. The reception she had almost as
sures her success as an actress.
Manager Dave Weis of the Columbia
Theater, in Brooklyn, formerly mana
ger of the Savannah Theater, will give
a Thanksgiving dinner to 750 Brooklyn
newsboys this week. The dinner will
be given in the Columbia Theater. The
Brooklyn Eagle has this notice of Mr.
Weis’ enterprise: “A Thanksgiving
dinner to 750 newsboys of this city and
vicinity is the latest enterprise of Dave
Weis, manager of the Columbia Thea
ter. The invitations Were sent out
through the counting rooms of the va
rious local and New York newspapers,
and the invited guests have decided
with almost a startling emphasis to
attend the banquet, which will take
place In Columbia Theater on Thanks
giving evening, beginning at 5 o’clock.
As one of the boys put it: ’Say, fellers,
it’s to be a giniwine turkey scrap on
de dead, wid pie on de side; are ye
wid us?’ A chorus responded, ‘We is.’
The Columbia Theater will be hand
somely and appropriately decorated for
the occasion. On long tables, stretch
ing from end to end, 10 lusty Long
Island turkeys will hold the fort, rein
forced by cake, celery, cranberries,
milk, cider, soda water, etc. Some time
since Mr. Weis sent out invitations to
prominent women of Brooklyn to assist
him in giving the dinner and the re
sponse he received was very cordial
and gratifying. The tables will be
served by some prominent society buds
and matrons, and an excellent concert
will be given while the feast proceeds.
Mr. Weis has received many offers of
provisions and pecuniary assistance,
but these have all been declined. Ran
dolph Guggenheimer, president of the
City Council, although having many
previous engagements, has accepted
Manager Weis’ invitation to address
the little newsboys on this particular
-day.”
The coming Southern tour of Mme.
Nordica and her probable visit to Sa
vannah, makes interesting to many
people who do not know her history, a
little sketch of a few incidents in her
life. Lillian Nordica or Norton, was
born in the little town of Farmington,
Me. The history of her career is not
ono of easy conquest, but of vanquish
ing circumstances which would have
overcome a less dominant will, and
that unilagging cultivation of natural
gifts by which, alone, absolute great
ness Is obtained. From her mother.
Amanda Norton, she Inherited the
qualities of will and energy that mark
the New England character, and from
her father, Edwin Norton, she received
the poetic strain, while her musical
gift came from father and mother,
both noted for their vocal accomplish
ments. Mrs. Norton, convinced of the
future in store for her daughter, re
mained at her side both in this coun

training with rare Judgment. The

Mr. E. M. Ashenback of Cincinnati,
an account of whose visit to Savan
nah for the purpose of placing here
the franchise for a club in the new
Southeastern Baseball League, has
succeeded in accomplishing his ob
ject. Savannah’s place in the new
league is now a thing assured.
The Savannah team will be under
the management and control of Messrs.
Dan J. Charlton and John J. Horri
gan, both enthusiastic baseball men
and in themselves amateur players of
well-known and recognized ability.
Messrs. Charlton and Horrigan will
attend the organization meeting of
the league, which will be held In some
city yet to be selected early in De
cember. A time and place will be
chosea-which will bs mast convenient
to a majority of the delegates from
the cities which will have clubs in the
league.
That the Savannah club will prosper
under the management of Messrs.
Charlton and Horrigan there can be
little doubt. Both of them have a thor
ough understanding of the business
and a wide acquaintance, as least by
reputation, with the players through
out the country. They ought to be able
to get together a club that will be a
credit to the city, and If they do they
will get the support of the Savannah
people. The interest in baseball here
has always been strong and even good
amateur games have no trouble in
drawing crowds.
Mr. Ashenback left yesterday after
noon for Augusta, delighted with the
quick success that had followed his
visit to Savannah. He hopes to do
equally well in Augusta and, indeed,
does not anticipate any difficulty In
placing a franchise In any of the cities
selected as probable members of the
league.
He is himself a ball player of repu
tation. Born in Cincinnati in, 1871, his
first professional engagement was with
the Canton, 0., team in the Tri-state
League, in 1890. He played the seasons
of 1892 and 1893 with the Allentown
Club, In the Pennsylvania state league,
that of 1894 with Atlanta, in the South
ern league, 1895 and 1896 with Dallas,
Tex.. 1897 with Springfield, in the In
ter-state league, 1898 and 1899 with
New Castle, Pa., and Troy, N. Y. In
1900 Mr. Ashenback played with and
managed the Hampton team in the Vir
ginia state league and in 1901 played
with and managed the Newport News
club in the Virginia and North Caro
lina league. His position is in center
field.
Mr. Ashenback has discovered some
baseball stars of note. He brought
out Cy Young, now with Boston, and
Pitcher Mathewson. who last season,
made a reputation for himself with
New York.
It is possible that the Fair grounds
will be used as a baseball park. Mr.
Ashenback called upon President
George W. Owens of the Savannah
Fair Association to see what might
be done in the way of shaping up that
portion of the race track enclosure just
in front of the grand stand as base
ball grounds, but Mr. Owens was not
able to give him any very encourag
ing information just at this time. When
seen about the matter Mr. Owens said
to a representative of the Morning
News:
“We cannot yet say what will be
done about the establishment of a
baseball diamond or a football field
upon the racetrack. If to provide such
grounds would mean interference in
any way with the racecourse, it cer
tainly would not be done. The cost of
properly grading a sufficient space for
athletic purposes just in front of the
grandstand would be considerable, and
I do not know just how it would be
met. The judges’ stand is a light
structure and could easily be removed
so that it would not be in the way of
players or cut off the view of spec
tators in the grandstand.”
Mr. Owens expressed the belief that
the Fair grounds would offer a far
more satisfactory location for a base
ball diamond than that of the Bolton
street ball park. It Is easily acces
sible, and the advantage of so excel
lent a grandstand would be great.
Considerable grading would be requir
ed. however, as the ground is badly
cut up with ditches and has deep de
pressions.
Savannah fans who discussed the sit
uation yesterday were delighted with
the outlook, which every one of them
regards as bright and encouraging in
every aspect. They want professional
ball in Savannah, and they are glad to
see that all indications point to the
conclusion that It will be had next sea
son.
READY FOR CHARLESTON GAME.
Savannah Football Team to Be
Picked for Thanksgiving Game
Soon.
The men of the Savannah Football
Team are putting in the ttnishing
touches to their practice for the game
with the Charleston team, which will
be played in that city Thanksgiving.
The men, because of more practice,
are in better shape than they were
when they met Jacksonville here In
the first part of the month, and should
play a much faster and stronger game,
especially a stronger game so far as
the line is concerned, for several
changes have been made In that part
of the team, and each of them has de
cidedly Improved It.
Just what the final line-up of the
team will be will not be decided on
until to-morrow night, from the follow
ing men, the majority of which played
In the Jacksonville game: Hicks,
Kutch, Mlnchen, Roasiter, Kiilorln,
Thompson, llariwr. Lanaberg, Mein

aggressive ball. That is the kind of
game that the Savannahians play, too,
so there should be a battle royal
Thanksgiving.
Mr. Gordon Saussy, who will accom
pany the Savannahians will be either
referee or umpire of the game, while
Messrs. Lovenstein and Michaels will
be respectively time-keeper and door
keeper. The Savannah team will car
ry with it a large crowd of friends and
rooters for the “blue and white.”
Those that expect to make the trip are
requested to see the secretary of the Y.
M. H. A. before Tuesday morning, so
that accommodations for the crowd
can be arranged for with the railroad
authorities.
NO INDOOR BALL THIS WEEK.
Oglethorpes Unable to Master Team
anil Hussars In Like Fix.
There will be no game of Indoor ball
between the Chathams and the Ogle
thorpes Wednesday as was scheduled.
It has been postponed until the follow
ing week, because so many of the
Oglethorpes’ men will be out of town
Thanksgiving that that team will be
unable to play. It was hoped until
yesterday that the Hussars might be
induced to take the place of the Ogle
thorpes, but they, too, will be unable
to muster‘a full team.
In the Y. M. C. A. Indoor Baseball
League the last of the scheduled
games will be played Friday night,
between the Blues and the Whites.
Until the game last week, when the
Reds defeated the Blues so easily, It
was though that the Blues were sure
winners, that they would easily defeat
the Whites, and thereby tie the Reds
for first place, thus necessitating an
other game to play off the tie; but the
Blues played so poorly in the last
game that, unless they improve a good
deal by Friday, the Whites will have
no difficulty in capturing the game,
and by so doing, close the schedule
with the Reds in first place, the Blues
in second, and the Whites third, and
last.
BALTIMORES COMING.
nailed With Pleasant Anticipations
by Local Rail Enthusiasts.
Much interest is being shown in the
proposed coming of the Baltimore base
ball team to Savannah for its spring
practice. As is usual with the teams
of the big Eastern leagues, it is ex
pected that Baltimore will have fifteen
or twenty men on her list, and some
of the best of the local amateur talent
are looking for an opportunity of ar
ranging for a number, if not a regular
series of games between the regular
team and a team made up of the sub
stitutes and local players. Such games
would, without doubt, prove rhost pop
ular as Savannah has not had the op
portunity of seeing good professional
ball for a number of years.
TO PLAV IK AUGUSTA.
Y. M. C. A. to Play Basket Ball There
Thanksgiving.
The Y. M. C. A. basket ball team,
which will play a team of the Augusta
association in Augusta Thanksgiving
night, will leave for Augusta Thurs
day morning, and besides its own mem
bers. will carry with it a large crowd
of the other association members and
friends, who hope to have the Savan
nah boys win, and by the encourage
ment of their presence and “rooting”
will do what they can to that end.
The team is made up of E. L. Cour
voisier, right forward; W. H. Doty,
left forward; R. E. L. Hunt, guard;
H. Y. Righton, left guard; and W. T.
Doty, center. The team will be ac
companied also by Mr. J. C. Blake,
physical director of the association
gymnasium, and Mr. Elden Rousseau,
who will give an exhibition of horizon
tal bar work during the intermission
between the two halves of the game.
The Savannah boys are In good con
dition, and have been practicing hard
for this game, so there is little doubt
that they will give a good account of
themselves.
Y. M. C. A.’S WINTER EXHIBITION.
Tickets for It Out and Being Dis
tributed to Members.
The one hundred and twenty men
and boys that will take part in the Y.
M. C. A. winter exhibition, Dec. 6, are
still hard at work preparing for that
event. The programme for the occa
sion has already been published in the
Morning News. Tickets of admission to
the show have been issued and can be
obtained by members of the association
upon application to Secretary H. M.
Johnson or to Mr. J. C. Blake, physi
cal director.
Admission can be secured only upon
the presentation of one of these tickets.
Non-members of the association who
wish to attend will have to secure tick
ets from friends who are members of
the association.
Rosenfeld’s orchestra will furnish
music, not only for the grand march,
and during the intermissions, but for
the various events as well.
CAUSE OF DEAFNESS,
The Moat Common Came Only Rc
centy Discovered.
It has been stated on good medical
authority that nine-tenths of cases of
deafness are caused from catarrh of
from sore throat trouble.
The little tube which leads to the
ear from the throat is lined with a
sort of velvet structure called mucous
membrane. This membrane is simply
a continuation of the mucous mem
brane lining the throat. When disease
of any sort attacks the mucous mem
brane of the throat it is very liable to
extend into the Kustachian tube and
up into the ear.
The history of nearly all cases of
deafness is like this: a cold is contract
ed and neglected, other colds are
taken, the throat becomes sore and in
flamed, which is aggravated by parti
cles of dust and germs from the air.
This condition causes the disease to
spread into the tube that leads to the
ear.
It seems a little far fetched to say
that most cases of deafness are caused
from catarrh, but it is certainly true,
and anyone who has had a severe
catarrhal cold must have noticed how
the hearing was affected while the cold
lasted.
With catarrh sufferers this impair
ment of hearing becomes chronic and
grows worse the longer the catarrh is
neglected.
You can cure catarrh and deafness
by the regular use of an excellent new
preparation called Stuart's Catarrh
Tablet*, composed of antiseptic reme
dies which act both on the mucoua
membrane but principally and most ef.
fectuaily on the blood, eliminating the
catarrhal poison from the system.
People whose hearing is defective
may think it a tittle remarkable that
a simple and hartniee* tablet would
very often remove all traces of deaf
n-M, but when it Is remembered that
catarrh causes the deafness and that 1
the catarrh Is eaally cured by the regu- I
lar use of Staurt's Catarrh Tablets

DARIEN TRIP ABANDONED.
Savannah Golf Club May Have Tour
nament Among Members Instead.
The team Of the Savannah Golf Club
will not go to Darien for a game on
Thanksgiving as was planned. When
the club began to consider the details
of the trip it was found that some of
the members of the team would be un
able to make the trip, hence it has
been abandoned.
In spite of this fact there is likely to
be much good golf here Thanksgiving,
for arrangements are now being made
to have a tournament among the mem
bers of the club.
The course of the Havannah Golf
Club is in splendid condition. Many
members go over the course every day,
while on Saturdays there is always a
crowd. Many members of the club are
making rapid strides in learning the
game under the tuition of Mr. Willie
Chisholm, the professional in charge of
the link.
