Tuesday night-Herrmann.
Thursday night-Guards minstrels.
Friday night-Lewis Morrison in
Faust.
AL. C. Field Columbian Minstrels Law
claim to being the best entertainment in
its particular line now touring the coun-
try. Al. @. Field is the bright star of
the aggregation, but scarcely less con-
spicuOus in brilliancy is asecondary black
face luminary, who is also prominently
mentioned on the bills Chas Kenna has
no equal as darby imitator, and fun
nier man under a mask of sinister line
would be hard to find. He is one of the
most pronounced favOrites which
ministrelsy has brought before the at
tentiOn of the public. AS a conversation
alist, talker to the audience, a burIesque
orator and an ingenious imitator of the
simon-pure cotton field darby, Chas
Kenna has few equals. Besides him in
the roster of comedians are Fred Russell,
Tommy Donnelly and Dick Clark In ad-
dition upon the bill are mentioned a
number of clever specialists, among them
are the Alveraz family, musical BARRIERS,
cradOc, Roman axe man, and the broth
ers Mohring, acrobats. The entertain
ment concludes with a laughable bur
lesque, THE Darktown Fire Brigade"
introducing the entire company.
Hermann, aided by Nine. Hermann,
will be the attraction Tuesday night.
Hermann is beyond question the great
est of living necromancers and sorcerers,
and his performances are among the most
interesting offered theater-goers This
year Hermann has an entire new enter
tainment, and he will produce several
startling novelties in the way of illusions
of his own invention and production One
of the chief illusions of Herrmann'S reper-
tOire is his famous sensational mystery,
The Escape From Sing Sing" 1t is
founded on the recent escape of the two
condemned prisoners, Pallister and Roehl,
from Sing Sing prison. 1t is pronounced
to be Herrmann's masterpiece. Another
good illusion that he will present is enti-
tied After the Ball" 1t is taken from
the jewel scene of Faust" A mirror is
placed upon the stage isolated from all
surrounding objects, and the audience
can see under it, over it and on all sides
of it. A lady in full evening costume
is discovered standing in front of
it arranging her jewels. Without
being covered by curtains or anything
else, suddenly at wave of Herrmann's
wand she Vanishes through the solid mir
ror The illusion promises to create as
big a sensation as anything that Herr
mann has ever presented. Another fea-
ture Of the programme will be a display
of Herrmann's "Mysterious Swing, or
Here There! Nowhere!" A lady is
seated in a swing suspended in the air 10
feet from the stage and alsOisolated from
all surrounding objects; at a pistol shot
she mystcriOuSly dissOlves into thin air
and the swing falls in a hundred pieces
upon the stage In the course of Herr
mann's spirit seance he will introduce for
the first time Madame Blavatsky's mys-
teriOus Delphic cabinet the most wonder
full cabinet III which anyone has ever at
tempted to produce spirit manifestations.
Herrmann's well-known tricks of leger-
demain comprise this season n number
of new experiments which have never
before been attempted, and are by long
odds the best this master Of the BLACK
Art has ever done.
The Guards minstrels will make their
debut Thursday night. They have Sc

in the city. Mr.. Caruthers, second bassO.

sings sentimental song, and Messrs.
Patton and Greenwood each sing a comic
song. Ryals, as second bones, tells some
Slde-splltting jokes, and makes local hits
Melton holds down the opposite side.
Patton attempts to be funny on first
bones and falls. But Greenwood! Doc
and his Willie" Oh, Willie" will make
the hit of the first part. The pa
thetlc duet by RyalS and Spring will no

the audience. The second part will be COM
posed of banjo solos, an athletic exhi-
oltlon, long jumping, high kicking lift
ing OF cannon balls, and clearing live
morse by standing jump Mr.. Osborne, of
Cobb's orchestra has volunteered to play
clarionet solo. He is a complete master
OF the instrument. and something fine
may be expected. The mandolin quar-
tette, composed of Messrs. Conner Papy
Bros. and Wakeman, will play several
selections. The performance will con-
cIude with speciality introducing the
entire company on the stage. A move
ment IS being organized to have the mem
oers OF the Guards attend the theater in
uniform that night.
Lewis Morrison, in Faust" will be the
attraction at the Savannah theater next
FRIDAY night. While the world endures
Goeth's tragic story of Faust" and
Marguerite" will continue to live. The
story has been celebrated in song, and in
us operate form has been deliberately
staged for many years, but it has re
NAMED for Lewis Morrison to present it
IN worthy dramatic form, with the effects
ana accessories to give it that weirdness
intended by the author. Morrison as
SQmes the role of "Mephisto," and makes
MN Jolly, jovial devil, and one well cal
Gulated to enchain the souls of men
IN the glamour of forbidden pleas
,Hres. The scenic effects are strongly
brought out, and serve to accentu-
ale the dramatic situations in a vivid
manner. One of the most notable effects
