The Chapman Sifters will give their final performance for this season at our Theatre to-night. “The Forty Thieves’ will be up for the occasion, followed by an amusing Farce. The Burlesque of “The Forty Thieves” is full of fun, good humor, wit, fcc., ami all who wish to enjoy a real hearty good laugh, Hbould not fail to drop in*at the Theatre this evening. We regret very much indeed that the Chapmans have had such un favorable weather to contend with during their present engagement, and we trust they will be more fortunate on their re turn next season. See programme on first page. MRS. OATES. Items are very dull indeed fora Christ mas week. Lo< alt are as scarce as hen’s teeth, but with all these misfortunes to bear, our citizens cannot “refuse to be comforted" when we casually remind them that “Savannah’s Little Favorite,’ Mrs. Jas. A. Oates, will be the stellar at traction at our Theatre next week. Yes } we know that our theatre goers will ex tend a hearty welcome to the “Sweet Little Songstress.” She has never failed to draw well in our city, for she seems to possess the peculiar faculty for cater ing to th<' larg? st, as well as the most re fined and fashionable audiences, of whi< b our city ean boast. Offenbach’s famous Opera Bouffe, entitled the “Grand Duch ess,’’ is up for the opening night, with Mrs. Oates as the Duchess; and w e need only add that she will be supported by such material as Billy Crane, Charley Drew and Harry Allen; also Miss Nellie Larkclle and Aliss PaulineMerrett. Seats can be secured for any night during the week at Schreiner’s Music Store, without extra charge. PKETTYGOOD. The following Equestrian-Comic-Opera conumlrmu was handed us this morning, and it’s too good and too true to lose: Why are the ’people of Savannah like horses ? Answer —Because they arc fend of “Oates.” An Ohio clergyman makes report that he once married a couple, and the man said, “B * short! he short!” I said, “Yes, I caii do it in three minutes.” “That’s right," lie said. 1 saw that there was some little dissatisfaction on the part of the other ha’, f. I said, “You don’t want to have it too short V” “No,” she said: “a body don’t want to get herself up so for nothing.” Vicksburg offers a reward for the recovery of an old lady, aged one hun dred and eleven, w ho. ii is supposed, has been kidnapped by some felonious journalist from a rival city desirous to secure her obituary for his own local iuius.
