AT THE THEATER.

Sousa's welcome in Savannah was a
roval one. Enthusiastic audiences fill
ed the theater for both afternoon and
night concerts. For more than two
hours last night the March King" de-
lighted his audience with the choicest
selections from the masters, besides
playing some of his own stirring pro-
auctions to Americanize and modern
ize the programme. AS encores he
gave "Sousa's Stars and Stripes" eel
Captain" and "Honeysuckle and the
Bee" which were warmly applauded.
He also played some rag-time as no
body except Sousa and his band can
do 1t.
At the matinee performance Sousa' S
Three Quotations" his new march,
THE Invincible Eagle, "Lohengrin,'
(Wagner); Lovely Night UiszD; "Di
Bailo," (Sullivan), were part of the
programme, and were exquisitely rem
dered
Mr.. Walter Rogers played a cornet
solo, THE Volunteer" and Miss Maude
Rees- Davies sang the Aria From Ira
visto," and received an encore. Miss
Dorothy Hoyle displayed wonderful
ability as a violinist and was recalled
al each performance. At the matinee
concert she played "Gypsies' Dances,
and at night, "Ziegeunerweisn," by
Sarcastic. At the night performance
Miss Reese-Davies sang "Will You
Love When the Lilies Are Dead" by
Sousa, and received an encore. The
feature of the evening concert was the
overture "Tanheuser"
Mr.. Arthur Pryor rendered a from
bone solo, Loves Enchantment,"
written by himself. which was enjoyed
and was encored. Much Ado About
Nothing" and "On Tip-toe." were new
and pretty. In addition to his new
march, THE lnvincible Eagle" he
gave last night "Maidens Three"
which is also one of his late produce
lions.
The plantation melodies, which con-
cluded the nights concert were a
pleasing feature and were greatly en-
joyed.
The play molly Pitcher" in which
Kathryn Kidder will appear tomorrow
night, is said to have none of the
gloomy conditions which characterize
most Revolutionary plays. On the con-
trary, 1t abounds in humorous situa-
tons. The title role of Molly Pitcher
affords Miss Kidder ample opportunity
for the display of her talent as a come
dienne. Miss Kidders support in
