Is UolnK at the Theatre.
Mr. George H. Broadhurst’s best
farce, "The WTong Mr. Wright,”
will be presented Monday evening at
the Star Theatre.
The scene of the play is laid ar Old
Point Comfort, Va , and the neigh
boring Fortress Monroe. Mr. George
Ober, the clever comedian, takes the
i ’
j part of a San Francisco millionaire
who goes to O d Point Comfort cn the
1 track of a swindl:c L r cashier. The
millionaire tak’ j s the alias of
Wright” which has a ! so been adop
tion seen in this city in several years
was presented at the Music Hall last
evening in a performance of Romeo
and Juliet by Simvelle’s clever com
pany of players. Thtrewas a large
audience and the general verdict was
that the performance was one of the
most meritorious ever given in Ports
mouth of any of the plays of Shakes
peare. It was a good acting company
throughout and Mr. Mortelle as
Romeo and Miss Clarke as Juliet ren
dered the two principal parts in a
manner which gave evidence of long
: and faithful study Their acting can
best be described as sympathetic.
The natural pathos of the story suf-
I fered nothing at their bands and they
gave a really fine interpretation of

| ted by the cashier. A lady detective
employed by the midior aire knows
that the cashier has taken that name,
| and not knowing the millionaire,
(who does not know her either, and
fulls in love with her) hands him over
to the police as his own absconding
cashier. Jtis a decidedly amusing
, situation and is exceedingly well per
formed by Mr. Ober and his company.
That the patrons of the Star Thea
tre will be pleased with Mr. Ober’s
presentation of Broadhurst’s "The
Wrong Mr. Wright” goes without
saying. He is supported by an all
round clever cast of competent com
edians. Among whom are Miss Marie
Pettes, Miss Josephine Sherwood, Mr.
(Jhas. M. Kinsley, Miss George El-
1 • *‘ ot ' Miss Adelaide Ober, Miss Edna
JIT 1 11 Dorman, Miss Sailie Chase, Miss Ade
laide Elliot, Mr. Roland Osborne, Mr.
Richard Cochrane, Mr. R. Sargeant,
Mr. Wm. Welp and Miss Katheryn
Williams. Several of this company
have played during the past three
seasons in Broadhurst’s "What Hap
pened to Jones” Company During
the the three past seasons, Mr. Ober
has played “Jones” in every city of
this country scoring a distinct hit as
the wise drummer.
“Mr. George Ober at the auditorium j
last evening gave one of the best com
edy performances seen in Charlottes
ville for some time.”—Daily Progress,
Charlottesville. Va.
The show was “The Wrong Mr.
Wright,” and of course Mr. Ober was
“it.” He portrayed his character
with great ability, enacting the per
sonality of the eccentric millionaire
with cleverness and ability. As he
handled the part, it was amusing,
ridiculous and well-received by the
audience.
The support was decidedly good.
Misses Adeliade and George Fllliot
showed great ability and a sense of
the fitness of things in their interpre
tation of difficult parts, which are
seldom appreciated but nevertheless
bard to enact. Miss Marie Pettes is
decidedly one of the most charming
personalities ever seen here. “Isn’t
she fascinating and very pretty?” one
of the crowd asked, and the approval
came in a chorus of affirmations. Be
sides she is an actress of unusual
ability and undoubtedly has a bright
future. Bewitching little Miss Sher
wood was another great favorite, her
dance in the second act receiving
hearty applause. She was unusually
good in her part, and as pretty as one
could well wish.
Charles M. Kinsley, a young man
of evident promise and of present
ability, was as self-possed us many a
more experienced man, and made a
fine imprestion by his giving of sev
eral difficult situations. Richard
Cochrane as the English lord was
netbing if not natural in bis part and
made a great hit. All of the others
did very well.
The next attraction at the Star
Theatre will be Miss Eva Mountford
in an emotional drama, “When Her
Soul Speaks.” Regarding the engage
ment of Mr. Simvelle’s Romeo and
Juliet Company, Manager Knox has
received the following from the Ports
mouth, N.H., Chronicle, Aug. 15,
1903:

LIFE CRUSHED OUT.
A Fourteen Year Old Hoy Killed On An
Elevator.
Yesterday at 12:3U Walter Davis, a
fourteen year old lad. and the son of
a widow lady, was killed by one of
the elevators at the plant of the Gaff
ney Manufacturing Company. By
reason of the fact that this accident
occurred during the dinner hour and
many of the operatives were at their
midday meal, the details are very
meagie. No one witnessed the acci
dent and the first known of it was
when - the body was discovered by
some of the operatives. The lad was
caught between the elevator and the
second flocr and the life crushed out.
It is not even known whether the boy
was ascending or descending.
A Ledger representative called at
the mill to get the particulars and
was given the above information.
Coroner Vinesett was notified and as
soon as he arrives an inquest will be
held.
Accidents of this character are to
be regretted, but so far as it was pos
sible to learn no blame can be attach
ed to the officials of the corporation.
On the other hand the public will
sympathize with it as well as with the
distressed mother.
Fresh Flour all the Time.
The celebrated “Clifton” flour is
sold only to the retail merchants and,
as they buy in small quantities, the
flour is always freah. Bransford’s
“Clifton” is strictly the flour for
family use, and if your bread, cake
and pastry are not made of it you are
certainly the loser. We keep it in
stock regularly
