AT THE THEATER

&e>S@S~S~pes~9l
At yesterdays matinee the Bonnair-
Price Repertoire Company presented
North Carolina Folks and last
night the bill was Life in New
York"
The Wells Brothers, Rose Winches-
ter, the Holmans and Keifer and Dia-
mond were all seen and heard between
the acts in clever vaudeville special
ties, of which this company makes a
feature of their performances.
Miss Price and her company will
close their engagement to-day, put
ting on "Maude Muller" at the matt
nee to-day, and "A Thoroughbred" to-
night. The matinee and night prices
are 10, 20 and 80 cents.
Kate Claxton will appear Saturday,
matinee and night, in The Two Or
phans." The play has lost none of its
popular favor, and its revival this sea-
son has met with unusual success.
Miss Claxton is said to be the same
Louise" whose feigned blindness has
rivited the attention of the theater-
going public for such a long and sue
cessful period. She is said to be adj
mirably supported, every artist being
selected by Miss Claxton as capable of
pCrtraying the character artistically.
Several of Miss Claxtons present COM
pany have been in her support for sew
eral years. A full and complete scenic
production is carried. Matinee prices:
Adults, SOC; children, 25c. Regular
prices at night.
While Andrew DIPPED who sings in
Savannah Monday night may not be
the highest priced tenor in the world
he has certainly received full value for
his performance if rated at so much
per note. The price paid Mr.. DIPPED
last winter by Maurice Grau was a
certain sum for each appearance-re-
CARELESS of the opera or length of the
role. On one occasion his role, though
important, was very short, and the
rate of his recompense was just $40 q
bar or $3.30 a note. On another occa-
sion when Mr.. Grau wanted to give
"Das Rheingold," with an all-star cast
the always accommodating DIPPED con-
sented to sing the part of Froh. He,
of course, was paid the same price as
if he had sung the role of 'Siegfried,
which is forty times as long. Through
an error ten bars were omitted during
the performance from the already
short score of Froh's role, and the con-
sequence was that evening was that
Mr.. DIPPED was paid at the rate of
$12 so "a bar or nearly 81 for every note
he sang. Even a tenor's life has its
compensating moments Seats are
now on sale, orchestra 1.50, balcony
81 so and 81; gallery SOC.
The promise is given that this sea-
sons presentation of San Toy" next
Tuesday night, will be found quite as
complete as any that has yet been
given, and when it is considered that
San Toy" enjoyed three long runs
at Days Theater in New York, that
would give assurance of a really eX-
celent entertainment. The company
this season, and there is only one
the management not believing in ex
plotting inferior number two and three
companies-includes Samuel Collins,
George K. sFortesque, Hobart Smock,
Maggie Barry, Sarony Lambert, Joseph
Cauto, Elgie Bowen, Nellie Lynch, Is
obel Hall, Norah Lambert and a cho-
rus of siXty-five. A feature is being
made of the orchestra music this sea-
son. the company carrying a number
of instrumental soloists with which
the local orchestra will be augmented,
the whole to be under the direction
of the famous conductor, John Bra
ham. The sale OF seats Will open this
morning at o'clock. The prices are:
Orchestra, $3.50; balcony, 81 and 10
cents; so cents admission to the ball
cony; gallery, % cents,
One of the notable theatrical events
of the season will be the appearance
of Louis James and Frederick Warde
Wednesday night in Wakenhals &
Kemper's production of The Tenn
pest" The advance sale will open
Monday morning and judging from
the constant inquiries at the box Of
flee, intending patrons will need to be
in line early. The production has at
tracted much comment. No more elab-
crate series of stage pictures, il is
said, has ever been attempted by a
travelling organization. The scene OF
the storm and shipwreck with which
the play opens, presents one of those
almost marvellous transformations
which are rarely seen except on the
stage of the famous Drury Lane The
alter, in London, during the pan5o-
mime season. Other stage pictures
which are no less attractive are those
of the Enchanted island, the Coral
Cave and the Yellow Sands. The COM
pany, which is augmented by a chorus
and ballet includes a number of prom
inent players, the more important be-
ing Mr.. Norman Hackett, Wadsworth
Harris, Thomas Cooke, Miss Teresa
