ception Tickets

1t is earnestly desired that those who
have been entrusted with tickets for this
entertainment for use or disposal, will make
their report TO Messrs. Davis Bros, as re-
quested, by i o'clock p. M, Monday, April
%, in order that the management can make
their report. Very few Of the tickets sent
out have been returned, as nearly every
one recognizes the cause as a worthy one,
and have paid for their tickets, whether
unable to dispose of or to use them, for
which the management return thanks. This
entertainment will consist of ten beautiful
tableaux, containing over sixty characters,
and carefully selected from Old Mother
GooseS rhymes, also a concert by the lead

Rebarer, Walker, Edward Harden, Ward,
Brown, w. + Swanston, DR.. Bulloch, Mrs
Haynes, Misses Lazaron, King, Carruthers,
Bulloch, Coburn, Wakeman, Dale and Ber-
rien.
The style of the entertainment will be
about as follows, viz: When the curtain
rises Mother Goose, seated on her goose
and Little Boy Blue, fast asleep, are the
only occupants of the stage. A we'll trained
chorus behind the scenes will sing the mel
ody of the tableau Little Boy Blue
which awakens him, and he by several

who are to be present with Mother Goose
on the stage during the evening, and for
whose pleasure she is supposed to be giving
the entertainment. The guests will appear
one by one, each announced by blast from
Little Boy Blues horn, and upon their ap-
pearance will be presented to Mother Goose
by the inimitable and indispensable Mr.. Ed
l.. Brown, who needs no introduction to
Mother Goose or to a Savannah audience.

grouped on the stage, Mother Goose will
request them in turn to favor her and her
less musical guests with piano and vocal
solos, piano and violin duets vocal duets
and quartettes After each musical rendi-
ton, the scenes will be drawn apart and a
tableau presented, which, including the
tabeau and Mother Goose and her guests,
who remain on the stage all during the per-
Torrance, form dual tableau, so to speak,
of surprising loneliness. Among her guests
are to be seen Kings, Queens, Princes, T. in
cesseS, Humpty Dumpty, Brother iona
than, Paul Pry, Rip Van Wrinkle, Falstaff
and Others too numerous TO mention. In
this way the entertainment will be a con-
tinual one. The curtain will not descend
until the close of the last tableau, which
will be a grouping of all the tableaux in
one, maki0g about 100 persons in costume
on the stage at one time. A full rehearsal
was held at the Theatre Friday
afternoon, and all the characters
aud parts were admirably rem
dered. The patronesses, who consist of
the following well-known ladies, viz: Mrs
H. f. Bolts, Mrs William Harden, Mrs. L.
E. Davis, Mrs. Z. A We'll, Mrs. w. j.
Lindsay, Mrs. George Screven, Mrs
George s.. Owens, Mrs. J. J. Dale, Mrs
David Wells, Mrs. Cecil Berrien, Mrs j. D.
Murphy, Miss Alice Bourquin, Mrs Gray,
and the lauies of the First Presbyterian
church, and the management can safely
promise to the public an entertainment
second to no amateur one ever given in
this city. The price of admission is only
SOC. no extra charge for reserve seats,
which brings it in the reach Of all.
An idea seems to prevail that from the
name it is an entertainment calculated to
please children only, such, however, is not
the case; it will be an entertainment that
the severest critic and oldest theater-goer
can enjoy and appreciate,
The seats are being rapidly secured at
Davis Bros and crowded house is pre-
dicted. Two entertainments, with change
of programme, will be prese ted. The first
one on Monday night, April %, perform
ance to commence at o'clock sharp. The
second performance will take place Tuesday
afternoon Mt 2:30 O'Clock; both at the Sa-
vannah Theater. The proceeds to apply to
the organ fund of the First Presbyterian
Church of this city; worthy cause.
