Hermann, who will be seen Tuesday,

In the ART OF palming, or sleight-of- hand.
he stands perhaps unrivaled Besides his

troduce his latest sensational illusion,
Cremation" The burning of young
woman is realistically done. 1t has prov
en- an endless source of discussion among
theatergoers. Besides the two acts of

ing operate selections on a number of
musical Instruments, which can be appre-

Among the attractions booked at the
Savannah Theater this fall by Manager
Weiss is Innes and his band on Saturday
afternoon and evening. Nov. 10. The or
ganization is accompanied by two sets of
grand opera singers, one set being used
for the afternoon and the other for the
evening Besides the regular programme,
the singers will do scenes from the operas
Of Faust" "Trovatore," Aida" and
Carmen" and il is said by the people
who are capable of judging that the per-
formances, as given by this band and as
sisting artists in the Innes Music Hall,
Atlantic City, at the ocean and the steel
pier. are marvels for the musical con-
noisseur, social events for the society peo-
pie and festivals of music for the appfeci-
alive auditor.
