The sale of seats has been larger than for
any summer night opera ever given in
Savannah Aside from the excellent cast
of the opera Gauticr's appearance Will be
feature. She was seen here two years
agO with CarmenCita. In this connection
q word about Gautier is of interest. She
is accompanied by her married sister,
whowas herself in "a child s ballet at one
time, but who married Ii New York man
sger some years ago. She does not like
the stage for herOwn part, but she glOries
in the triumphs of Miss Rosie. She
watches her from the left hand
entrance during the dances and 1t IS
hard to tell which of the two takes the
most delight in the applause and floral
dancer receives nightly. The latter are
generally accompanied by a note, poetry,
or sometimes only a card on which is
scrubbed word of admiration from an
admircr. Sometimes the names are given
and sometimes they are not All are read
and treasured with equal delight by the
two sisters. She is IS years of age, and
her petite figure and winning and child
like graces of manner makes her seem
even younger than that.

It is said that Vivian Sartoris, daugh-
ter of Nellie Grant Sartoris now l6 years
of age, will so on the stage shortly
List is charged by Ehrlich, the Ger
man writer, with having deliberately
stolen themes which the able used in his
"Second Hungarian Rhapsody from
piauotOrte sonata that EhrliCh wrote in
1916 and gave to List for examination.
That gown which Senorita Gautier
wears in her serpentine dance contains
thirty-fve yards of fiimsy white silk.
Even in a day and generation when the
billow skirt is again finding favor in the
feminine world, this is a little startling.
Carmencita's bad temper and jealousy,
they say, have cut her out of her latest
New York engagement. She tried to have
the best step cut out of a rivals dance,
and instead of succeeding was herself
released" Senorita Gautier says that
she used to make herself unbearable when
she was with her.
The News and Courier says of Miss
Bertha Visanska, the girl pianist, who
will give concert in Savannah Monday
evening, Juue 10, under the auspices of
the Young Mems Hebrew Association, at
their hall. corner Liberty and Whitaker
streets: When the Hon. +. II. Weston
introduced to Miss Bertha Visanska the
audience at the opera house he remarked
that South Carolina can boast of her
brave and chivalrous soldiers, her states
uth ana nef JuflSJS, Out never before
has one so young contributed so much to
the fame of the state. Her musical talent
has been the marvel of the musical world
and her name and her fame are Cardinals
proud boast
If the wonderful execution of little Miss
Visanska tonight is an index of the fame
she will achieve, even more might have
been said. Old musicians say that never
has finer or more perfect music been rem
dered here. How she charmed her audi
ence is but slightly expressed by their
disposition to utterly ignore the pro-
gramme, and have the sweet strains go on
forever, as well as by their applause.
Just a word as to her performance It
excited universal admiration, and the
technique was regarded as especially
wonderful She seems to possess a phe- /
nomenal command of her arm and wrist,
and every note is brought out with bell
like distinctness and emphasis. There is no
slurring and the more exacting the score
the more perfect seemed the execution.
Miss Visanska uses no notes, and her
phrasing is faultless.
