The theater win be open for six per

Monday and Tuesday nights, and Tues

Friday and Saturday nights and satur-
day matinee. In Old Kentucky.
II is a good many years since Savan-
nah theater-goers have seen the Black
Crook, and so many in fact, that many
younger theater-goers have never seen
1t here. For this reason, as well as the
popularity of the play, it viii doubtless
be seen this week by large audiences.
The sale Of seats indicates as much. In
spite of an that has been said about it,
no play tells in such vivid manner, the
story Of right and justice prevailing as
does the Black Crook. 1t is a good ser
mon, and in 1t are extolled the virtues
of Stalacta, and the bravery Of Rudolph.
Hertzos, the Black Crook, sells his soul
for eternal life, and endeayors to drag
into perdition Rudolph, so that he may
| longer live. He is foiled by the fairy
queen, and IN the end virtue triumphs,
and the wicked are punished. 1t is an
impressive story and embelished, as ii is,
with scenery, costumes and lithsome
/ dancers, it has ranked among the high
class theatrical attractions for over a
quarter Of a century.
AS the title In old Kentucky would in
dicate, the plav deals with Kentucky life
and character, and it is said to be a very
graphic story set amid scenes Of pictur-
esque beauty, and heightened by number
of intensely dramatic situations Tie
heroine is a laughing, romping, dainty,
! charming Kentucky girl, far removed
from the soubrette style of character so
common just now. She figures promi-
| uently and heroicaiy in most Of the ex-
citing situations. one scene represents
/ the race track at Lexington at the most
exciting moment-the finish of a closely
| contested race. The play should not be
confounded with those which depend for
their success upon one or two
striking situations In Old Kentucky is a.
logical drama, built upon purely dramatic
lines, and possessing the real dramatic
merit of all carefully written and thought
ful productions. Itaims to depict truthful
ly a phase of life which, though intensely

In providing the play with scenery, Man
ager Jacob Lift has done a wise thing,
for most people who attend the play
house nowadays take a keen delight in
story that is set off by scenery.
Signor Giuseppe Aldo Randegger of Ma
pies, Italy will give a piano recital at
the L.8ddou & Bates music rooms Tuesday
evening az $50 o'clock. AS an artist is at
his best, and the audience most appre-
ciative, when they know something of
each other, and as Signor Randegger
knows by reputation the character of a
Savannah concert audience, it is well that
the audience should know something of
him.
lie was born in Naples in 1874 and is
consequently not yet q years of age. His
first appearance was in 1880, when, as was
said by the Naples Pungolo, he played
with a deep and sweet tone the Song of
/ PenitanCe of Beethoven, and a most diff
cult study in A fiat by Raff, with an ease,
! accuracy and soul remarkable in one so
young" being then but 16. In 1891 the
same paper, referring TO another concert,
says THE renowned S.monnettis school
was represented by young Randegger,
who played Grieg's concerts, accompanied
by The grand orchestra. Randegger is a
born pianist: We note in him that ele-
ment of genius which makes the true
artist"
In 1873 the same paper says: "Slgnor
( Raudegger, though only 19 years of age,
has graduated with the highest honors
/ ever accorded anyone at the Royal conser-
/ vatory and has already now in concerts
/ the highest praise possible for his mar
/ velous piano playing" He came to At
/ lanta late in the same year upon the in
/ Ntatiou of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Angler,
/ and Jan. IA he played, in Mr. Anglers
