AT THE THEATER

1t is a peculiar fact that "F'lorodora,"
the most successful musical comedy of
the decade, and the Gay Lord Quex."
Arthur w Pinero's best comedy, were
seen for the first time in America up
on the same evening at theaters two
blocks apart. Both had enjoyed long
runs in London, "Florodora" five
months, and THE Gay Lord Quex" 400
nights at the Garrick Theater "Fioro-
dora" since that time has made hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars for its
owners. while THE Gay Lord Quex" at
once became a bone of contention in
the English courts-that is as soon as
ii was found that the play was a sue
cess In New York.
Until November of this year It was
impossible to buy a clear title to the
American rights to the famous COM
edy. Sylvia Lynden, however, had been
closely following the case in the Eng.
lish courts, and as soon as the royalties
and rights were arranged, she at once
purchased them outright for n year
from Daniel Frohman, and will pre-
sent the piece in Savannah at to-day's
matinee and tonight, supported by her
own New York company, which i'm
cludes Brandon Hurst Alder Bass,
Frank II. Crane, John Hons. Il. w.
Lewis, Ann Warrington, Adele Clarke.
Ada Zell, Harriet Sawyer, Edith
Rowand Margaret Dunno, Fanny
Yantes and others.
Miss Lynden will appear as Sophy
Fullgarney, the manicurist. The COM
edy is in four acts, one of them--the
third-taking place in the Duchess of
Strood's bedroom. The dialogue takes
place between Sophy and Lord Quex,
and is thirty minutes in length. The
matinee prices are: Orchestra, rs and
SO cents; balcony, so and % cents.
Night: Orchestra, $1.50 and $1.00; bal
cony, $1.0O, 70 and so cents; gallery, rs
cents.
Rose Coghlan has scored another tri-
umph in her performance of A. w.
Pinero's play, THE Second Mrs. Tan
queray," which will be presented at
the Savannah Theater next Monday
afternoon and night. So much has
been written in magazines and news
papers, so many famous actresses haze
scrambled for, and appeared in this
play which is keenly observed study
of society life, that unusual interest
has already been manifested In the
first visit of THE Second Mrs. Tan
queray" to this city. Pinero's play
produced by such an actress as Rose
Coghlan calls for special attention. The
sale of seats will open Friday morn
