Mr. Rosell has toured the South before in the "Lot tery Man" and will always be cordi ally welcomed in Augusta. The hon ors were shaded, however, by Mr. Albert Travernier as "Sam Graham," Mr. Travernier's perfect work as the gentle, impractical, big hearted old dreamer in this play, deepened the fine t impression he made here last season as the old musician in the "Climax," John King, also; was most acceptable as "Henry Kellogg," and is a polished actor. The minor parts, stich as the "sheriff," "Tracy," the bashful lover Sperry, "the traveling man" taken respectively by Messrs. John Beck, George Ahren and U. Causland were all clever bits of char acter work, in fact, all of the various characters were made to stand out distinctly, although some with less artistic finish than others, and there was really not a "stick" in the com pany of 20. It has been frequently remarked this season how superior the men are to the women in most road compa nies, and it was again noticeable in this one, although the three feminine roles were played very acceptably, and Mis3 Meta Green, as "Betty," was especially good in the first act, her little rebellious outburst being very well done. And certainly the company and the play must have been way above the average, for two tributes were paid yesterday that are rarely given an Augusta matinee audience actually applauded vociferously and gave five curtain calls, and also the audience remained seated for at least two seconds after the final curtain! It speaks well for human nature that a play of sa high a moral stand ard and in which simple "good ness" is so glorified should seem to give such universal pleasure, and be able to draw good houses everywhere, even in iU second season. Francis Wilson in "The Bachelor's Baby." Francis Wilson's successful come dy, "The Bachelor's Baby," teaches the lesson that every fortunate man and woman learns pity the human being that never learns it. It is the lesson of the unselfishness, the con crete proof of the fact that doing for the weak and helpless gives infinite ly greater pleasure thar doirrg for one's , self. Lives of children is the one form that has worked to raise hu manity; it is found even among the savages. There is no doubt that family life, faithful marriage, love of home are all born of concentrated affection of man and woman united in the care, education and defense of the child. In "The Bachelor's Baby," Mr. Wll son plays the part of a bachelor, who, - like many other . unmarried men, is hard, selfish and cold. A child, fortunately thrust into his life, changes all this, and brings out the man. Eternally true are the words: "a little child shall lead them." Lit tle' children have led human beings, in masses and as individuals, from barbarism to- civilization. Mr. Wil son's play, the success of which has given every one deep satisfaction, is an effort to make fathers realize their responsibility and their privilege. In. it the comedian-author has tried to show what the world owes to the mothers, and especially what a help less, dependent thing a child is when the mother is gone. Mr. Wilson offers the comedy to the hundreds or thousands of friends Into whose faces he has looked in the past, as his ei- fort to be worthy of. their friendship and worthy of whatever place he may have gained on the American stage. Charles Frohman will present Francis Wilson in "The Bachelor's Baby," at the Academy of Music Sat urday night, March 2. The advance seat sale opens Thursday morning at the theatre box office at" 10 o'clock sharp. gomery & Stone, will be seen for the first time here in any of their musical comedy successes on Wednesday night, March 6th, when they will pro duce their latest musical vehicle, "The Old Town," which since its opening night two years ago has been presented in very few cities, and those entirely in the East. - So thoroughly identified with "Wiz ard of Oz" and "The Red Mill" are Montgomery & Stone that they must not be confounded with any of the companies which appeared in these plays in the past seven or eight years, for this is the first, season that Montgomery & Stone have ever crossed the plains West of the Mis souri and skipped over the Rockies. The piece selected . for . Montgomery & Stone's invasion of the far West and the South is listed as a musical comedy in two acts and is whimsi cally entitled "The Old Town." Rag time memories might offer suggestive promise of "a hot time" and certain ly the reports that precede the com ing of Montgomery & Stone should prepare their admirers for an even ing's entertainment in which there is something, doing every minute. "The Old Town" is by George Ade and music by- Gustave Luders. The piece was especially written for them and is laid in two acts and as may scenes. The first is in St. Auv gustine, Fla., and the other in Califor-i nia. The story concerns the mishaps of two country boys who run away and join a circus of which before being stranded they assume proprie- wrighted, which have never heard here. .- been Studebaker's Anniversary.
