"The Twelve Temptations" will be seen
at matinee and night performance to-
day. The New Orleans Picayune says of a
recent performance in that city:
There was nothing to remind one of
former presentations of this seemingly
forever" show piece. Much care and
thought and expenditure of money have
given an excellent entertainment. The
scenery is lavish; the transformation and
mechanical appliances ranking with any
ever seen in this city, while the costumes
and ballet have flavor of novelty that
is really commendable. The Coming Wo-
man" in all her glory as a bicyclst: the
angler; the sailor. the hunter and the
twentieth century girl, were hits The bal
let of the -Four Seasons" in the second
act, illustrating spring, summer, autumn
and winter Is a pretty conceit In this
act the premieres, Miles. Fererro and Bas-
seggio, executed some wonderful dancing
upon their toes. The speciality feature of
the Rosares, the clever gymnasts. John
Harty, a juggler of note; the boxing bout
of the Elliott Brothers; Rose Kesner's
impersonation of the "Giddy Old Maid
the fancy dancing of the Venie sisters the
"Chanson Characteristique' of Gus Bru-
no, Jr., and Josie Sisson, all proved very
entertaining bits, and contributed might
lily to the go of the piece. The bridge
scene in the last act is taken advantage
of in a princely manner by the introduce
ton of no end of local scenes and Incl
dents. 1.-THE new songs of lover the
Bridge" Gan in a Row" and Battery
Park are destined to find considerable
favor. The closing Transformation scene,
"Davy Jones Locker" at the bottom of the
sea, revealed a wealth of scenic artist and
stage carpenter skill"
Tomorrow night Mr.. Darrell Vinton and
his company of players will be seen in
Monte Cristo." Mr.. Vinton is the first
actor to present the legitimate drama in
Savannah at popular prices. The company
comes with excellent Endorsements. The
reduction of the prices at which it will play
is an experiment of Mr.. Vnton, and is no
intimation that the company is less meri-
torious than those which play at regular
prices. Mr.. Vinton is a new actor to Sa-
vannah theater-goers, but the newspaper
notices he has received give him the high
est praise. Monte Cristo" will also be Civ
en- at Fridays matinee. Friday night Mr..
Vinton will produce Hamlet"

The ladies of the Lutheran Church of the
Ascension will give an entertainment in

in the city, a concert grand. The instru-
ment was bought a short time ago, Mes
danes George, Henry and Martin Schroe-
der undertaking the responsibility of rails
ing sufficient money to defray its cost.
They, with the assistance of those ladies
who have taken an interest in the music,
and progress of the church. have already
been successful in getting up a large part
of money that was owed upon the piano.

programme. The ladies have been busy
for some time bringing the little people to
a Stage of perfection for their parts, and
il is expected that a good performance
will be given.
