Pugno's Recital To-morrow Night.

Pugno's Recital Tomorrow Night.
Raoul Pugno, the celebrated French
pianist, who will give recital at the
Lawton Memorial Tomorrow night, will
arrive in the city either tonight or to-
morrow morning, and will stop at the
De Soto. His only other Southern re-
cltai will be given in New Orleans, to
which place he goes from here. Upon
leaving New Orleans he goes directly
back to the North, and will give but
six other recitals in this country, play
ing in Philadelphia, New York, Troy,
Baltimore. Chicago and Cleveland. This
will complete his series of thirty con-
certs in America.
There have been twenty applications
for his appearance in other places
which had to be declined on account
of his European engagements. He will
sail for Europe the end~of January to
play in Berlin, Dresden, st. Petersburg
and the other large musical centers
abroad. Since Pugno has been In this
country his success has been tremen-
dous. and he has played eight recitals
in New York to the largest audiences
that have attended piano recital since
Paderewski was last in America.
His personal magnetism is great, and
ne pays WlIn all the 0ellCdcy OF touch
of a woman and all the strength and
power of a man. He Is entirely free
from the mannerisms which are usually
much in evidence with piano virtuoso
and from the moment that he seats
himself at the keyboard until the con-
clusion of his programme, his audience
are made to feel as IL they we're in close
personal touch with the performer.
Though a man of fifty years of age,
this is but the second time that he has
visited America, and already a FIVE
months tour has been booked for a re-
turn engagement In 1904. Efforts were
made TO book him for next season, but
his European engagements, which
were made long before he came here In
November, for the entire period until
1904 prevented this.
II Is by one of those peculiar freaks
Of fortune that do not come often that
the people OF Savannah have this OPP
portunity of hearing 80 great an art
ist-an opportunity which may never
occur again. A special request has
been made TO have Pugno play the cell
ebrnted second Rhapsodie OF Ldszt and
also the sonata Of Beethoven familiarly
known ~ the Moonlight sonata" on
account Of McArthur's store being
closed to-day, the box sheet will not be
opened again until Tomorrow morning
a. O'Clock.

AT THE THEATER

Mrs, lie Moyne will be seen In two
ough's new play. Among Those Pres
ent." Christmas Day has never had a
stronger attraction at the theater.
Unlike many actresses who play the
comedy game, Mrs. LIE Moyne has
thorough knowledge of society and has
mingled on the best terms with titled
and untitled folk on both sides OF the
Atlantic. While in England she was
commanded to read before the present
King and Queen, and the then Prince
of Wales took keen delight In her
mirthsome rendering of an Irish cooks
ideas on the Chinese question. Her
wide acquaintance also with Fifth ave-
nue. circles gives truth and realism, II
is said, to her impersonation of Mrs.
Clinton in Among Those Present"
The author of the play has chosen
thoroughly American subject, the fast
pace at which the life OF New York,
Newport and fashionable Long Island
is pursued. This is an notwithstanding
topic to newspaper readers, and the
playwright is said to have handled Ii
with humor and skin.
The Mable Paige Company will be-
gin a weeks engagement Monday night
presenting the four act drama "A
Mountain Waif' new and up-to -date
specialities viii be introduced be-
tween the acts. Special matinees will
be given Tuesday, Thursday and Satur-
day at o'clock.
The sale of seats will open to-mor-
row morning at o'clock for the en-
tire week. The Albany Herald says of
the company and it's work:
Standing room was at premium
last night, when the curtain rose on
the first act of "A Mountain Wait"
presented by the Mabel Paige Com
pany.
From the time the curtain first
rose to the end of the four acts in
terest never tagged, and the large au-
dience was more than pleased with
the Mabel Paige Company. The gene
raj verdict is that Miss Paige's per-
formances are. far better than the ma
jority of the dollar attractions seeen
here The scenery and electrical ef-
fects are marvellous and every actor
is an artist. Miss Paige certainly has
proved her claim in the role of Chick,
as being the cleverest young actress
on the American stage.
Few better comedians have been
seen here than Mr.. T. e. De Pew
proved himself to be. His specialties
with Miss Paige were of the best, and
something entirely different from any
thing heretofore seen. ''i'iliN ., - !,
Special attention is called to Mr..
Dan. Holt, the musical king"
