Thursday Night, Kocian.

With an unusually interesting person. ality, reports of his New York. Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia successes. and his undoubted genius, Kocian, the young Bohemian violinist, gives promise of be- ing the musical sensation of the season.
 This very youthful artist came from European triumphs to conquer the new world, and is assuredly on an express train, carrying him to the desired goal. The representative audience of musfcal enthusiasts that crowded Carnegie Hall. the evening of Kocian's debut, was curl ous and critical in the beginning; and in the end wildly appreciative of the new virtuoso. The pale, quiet-mannered youth with long, blonde hair. made no spectac- ular bid for attention. but as a divine artist should, was content to let his ge- nius speak for itself through the medium of his beloved violin.
 "Fleet-fingered, accurate, particular in phrasing, perfect in intonation, soulful in singing, convincing in climax, the young Bohemian fiddled his way into the hearts of his listeners long before he had dis played the full range of his marvellous gifts" wrote The Musical Courier critic.
 To the musical and the initiated alike. a wonderful techntc has come to be ex- pected of violinists and pianists, to whom the word great" Is applied. That none will be disappointed In the abundance of this attribute possessed by Kocian is as- sured in the reports which have found their way out of the East, since the young artists debut in New York.
 He is said to possess a facility and flu ency in runs. trills. arpeggios and scales little short of miraculous. One critic un- hesitatingly declares that so wonderful an executant of octaves has never been heard. not excepting Caesar Thomson. The youthful master of the violin seems to have aroused overwhelming enthusl- asm. and to have fully sustained the reputation acquired in Europe. of being very great artist, despite the handicap of extreme youth. There is apparently no hint of this youthfulness in Koclan's s playing or Interpreting, and he is un- hesitatingly judged by the standards &C., corded to the most mature virtuoso.
 Kocians engagement in Montgomery will be on Thursday evening at the Mont gomery Theatre.
 The following Is the program, which includes Kocian's own beautiful compost ton. "Dumka;''

 Quality and quantity sufficient to sat lrfv the. most exacting theatre-goer IS or fered by Montgomery playhouses tnis week, and save Saturday night, ne "no neels amusemsnt may find some.nihs 'o s drive away his cares each evening:
 Two high-class dramas, presenteu oompanies that should be of high stano- ri \ concert bv A famous violin virtu- GO. a minstrel performance with George wilson as the star and a repertoire com nanv of comedians. This is the Dill or fnre. and 1t is enough to compensate us for d dearth of attractions last week.
 Kathryn Kidder, an emotional actress of excellent repute who has been seen here before. comes to the Montgomery Theatre for two performances Tuesday. Tshe plav is ''An Eye for an Eye, by the younger Dumas It has been received vith marked favor and is said to be in- tsrpreted by a company of exceptional strength.
 za.N- nArtr h. Ian will appear in "Alice of Old Vincen- nes." Those of us who were impressed with this work of Maurice Thompson will be interested in the unfolding of the drama. Miss Coghlan is a very young pSreon who, something after the manner of Ethel Barrymore, has proved that she 1oes not depend on a great family name, hut goes in to win on her own intelii- renee and fidelity to art. Her Becky Sharp left a pleasant memory in Mont xomery last year and her Alice will be watched by a large audience of persons who admire what is good in the drama.
 kocian, the young Bohemian virtuoso, has been heralded as marvellous must clan. His engagement at the Perry Street playhouse for Thursday night will be the musical event of the week and Montgom- cry musicians are looking forward to It with delightful anticipation.
 And George Wilson, funny, affable and clever George Wilson, comes to us Fri day evening with Haverly's Minstrels. George Wilson and Al Field are invari- ably given warm welcomes to Montgom- cry. Hayerly's, or to be exact Nanker- viiie's, press agent. says that the show is bigger and better this season than ever before and perhaps he's right.
 To the Bibb Street Theatre Pickerts s Comedians will come for four perform ances, the first half of the week. at pop ular prices.
 The company will open Monday night with Lost and Won" The repertoire Includes "Edithas Burglar" and "The Married Men"

Haverly's Mastadon Minstrels.


 strel companies on tour this season is un- doubtedly Haverly's Mastadon Minstrels, which is under the directorship of that well known manager of numerous theatrl- cal attractions, Will Vaudeville, and the superb equipment he has given the Hav- erly Company is the talk of both press and public everywhere this splendid burnt cork organization has appeared.
 Something heretofore unknown with a minstrel attraction, is a full environment of electrical features, representing a Ve- netian water scene, the effects of which are indescribable, which brings this com pany up to a high standard, and the per formance verges on the spectacular.
 The comedians are many and of the most noted kind, headed by the peer of all, George Wilson, who has long since earned a very enviable position in the minstrel field; Happy Johnnie Swor, a clever eccentric comedian; the Carl Dam mann troupe of acrobats and gymnasts, in a pot-pourri of extraordinary feats, whose thrilling, daring and exquisite acts are conspicuous for wonderful novelty and dexterity. George Morgan, the phenome- nal male contralto, from Moore and Bur gess' Minstrels. St. James Hall. London, England; John J. Roland, basso pro- fundo, with a fierce range; Frank Coombs lyric tenor.
 Other clever ones are Burt Swor, the Young Brothers, Jake and Frank Garden and Sommers, kings of the musical world; Francis W. Sutherland, "The Sousa" of minstrel and bandmasters; Eddie Bryar Charles Richards, the wonderful boy bar itone, Sam Vaudeville, the silver-voiced singer.

Certrude Coghlan Wednesday.

Gertrude Coghlan comes to the Mont gomery Theatre Wednesday night in an elaborate production of Alice of Old Vincennes."
 That this will be one of the dramatic events of the season goes without say Ing. Miss Coghlan is in the very front rank of actress stars, and 1t is but nat ural that she should be selected to play the role of Alice.
 Throughout the country the critical mo- tices of her acting have been most flat fering, and appreciation of the theatre going public has been evidenced by the large audiences that have greeted her wherever she has played. In every role she undertakes there is that minute atten- ton to even the smallest detail that al- ways shows the true artist She never misses a point, and never over-elaborates one. Her acting shows such daintiness. fineness and dellcacy of shading that it at ,once brings to mind the great gifts of her father, the late Charles Coghlan, who was one of the greatest English speaking actors on the Amerian stage.
 Of this attraction in New Orleans re- tEently The Times-Democrat said:
 s'The announcement that the fascinating and bewitching little star. Gertrude Coghlan. would appear. served to attract a large and fashionable audience to the Tulane Theatre.
 Tt is not easy to analyze such acting hs hers. That she interprets with peculiar de6tness every shading in the text. how ever slight, falls to portray the impress

Kathryn Kidder Tuesday.

One of the dramatic events of the month, if not. indeed, of the entire the atrica1 season, will be the performance on Tuesday matinee and night at the Montgomery Theatre, of "An Eye for an Eye" the play by Alexander Dumas, fils. now being presented in this country for the first time by Miss Kathryn Kidder and an excellent supporting company.
 The play has created a furore of favor wherever it has been offered, Miss Kidder herself winning distinction in the main role. greater in quality and proportions than any other part essayed by her in her brilliant career as a star.
 This Dumas drama has long been eager 1y negotiated for by contemplating Ameri- can managers. but not until last summer could arrangements tending to its native hearing be consummated.
 Of the list of famous American women of the stage, gifted with emotional ex- pression in its highest art, who entered E the competition for this valuable property. Miss Kidder's offer was accepted, her good fortune In this respect being aided, 1t is said. by the fame of her perform ance in Sardous Sans Gene"
