nm Wednesday night Salvini will appear
In his popular role of D'Artagnan
I, -ta Three Guardsmen," a character
,bs- belongs to him almost as uniquely
a. does RIP Van Winkle' to Joseph JEFF
fsrs,n. Ii will be a very different affair
bovsver. TO that seen on Salvinis last
,isit Dramatised, the Three Guards
Non is action personified and covers one
n the most interesting and exciting pc
r.ods of French history. Salvini plays the
dashing Guardsmen with the impetuosity
~ the born cavilier, and what might be
made rude, lubberly insolence by the
inartistic. is transformed by Salvini into
sDrightly courage and courtly audacity,
that can challenge three men to mortal
combat in as many minutes and jest with
them In friendliest sincerity with the next
breath. Manager Wilkison announces
that every detail necessary for both plays
will be brought by the company COM
plete. and that among the supporting
caste are such artists as William Red
mund John A. Lane, William Harris,
Eleanor Moretti, Maud Dixon and Au-
rusta de Forrest.
The Fast Mail didn't run last night.
There wasn't in the box office enough of
he stuff that makes mares, and fast
mails. 60 \ member of the company said
The leading lady was too sick to play. il
was presumed by the cOrporals guard of
spectators that the manager looked in
upon the house and had a severe attack
of that tired feeling. and that it proved
contagious in the case of the leading lady.
The corporal's guard of spectators got
their money back. and went home. The
matinee, however. was well attended. But
the show-really d good one--couldn't draw
TO a third performance, when given on a
Saturday night.
Gilmore's band will be in Savannah next
week. Saturday, March "a. and will give
q concert at the theater. For twenty years
Gilmore's has been Americas most
famous band. Although Gilmore is dead,
the band stil bears his name. 1t is fully as
strong. however, as it was when the
famous leader was at its head. From a
musical standpoint it's playing is said to
snrpass its playing even during the time
Gilmore was in his prime. This is the
opinion Of notable music critics. The band
is now under the management and direc-
ton of Mr. Victor Harbert. Besides the
hand, feature of its concert here will be
the singing of Nine. Louise Natal and the
autoharp playing of Mr.. Adds J. Gerry.
IL has been said that "All the world S

world has been aroused by the recital OF
the woes of the political exiles of Russia.
Families have been separated and for

of the governments agents. At moments

taken years to establish, and fee to al

community, who are the victims of this
