0RCHESTRA'S BENEFIT
A GREAT SUCCESS.
Most Enjoyable Concert Given by
Savannah Music Club.

Most Enjoyable Concert Given by
Savannah Music Club.
A concert that proved most enjoyable
and which drew a large audience to
the Lawton Memorial last night was
that given by the Savannah Music Club
as benefit to the members of the
orchestra.
The programme was varied, well se-
lected and well rendered, and many of
the artists who took part in it were
forced to give recall pieces before the
enthusiasm of the audience would al
low the programme to be continued.
The orchestra of the club, which is
composed of some thirty-three mem
bers under the direction of Mr.. A. c..
Meyer, is a favorite with concert-goers
and its work last night justified the
esteem in which it is held, for ii played
in most artistic manner many numbers
that are rarely attempted except by
larger organizations and those COM
posed of all professional players.
In addition to the orchestra special
mention should be accorded the play
ing of Mime. Laura Mehrtens, whose
technique, power and excellence of
phrasing were probably never better
exemplified to a Savannah audience
than in the "Capriccio Brilliante."
which she played with orchestral ac-
compartment. In fact each number of
the programme was SO well given that
where praise is accorded one it rejects
on all and in almost equal degree.
Miss Emma E. Coburn, as accompanist
to the vocal numbers contributed much
to the success of the evening

AT THE THEATER

A marked and welcome change from
recent dramas of dubious morality
was Rose Coghlan's appearance yes
terday in THE Greatest Thing in the
World" 1t is play in which mother
love is made the leading theme and
is beautifully and touchingly present
ed through the medium of a good wom-
ans devotion to a weak and erring
son.
With this dominant idea are inter-
woven some minor love stories of suffi-
cient interest, and some very diverting
comedy. The subject is an unusual
one for a play, and is finely developed,
If at times saddening to the point Of
tears. Mrs. LeMoyne was seen here in
the leading role two years ago and
possible not to recall her appearance
in connection with that of Miss Cogh-
Ian.
This, however, without disparage-
ment of Miss Coghlan, who interpret
ed the part with dignity and sincerity.
Sne showed neT pest SlTellSln III the
emotional scene with Cecil in the third
act, after the disclosure OF the forged
check. 1t may be questioned whether
her talents are not better adapted to
the part of 1.-THE Second Mrs. Tanque-
ray" in which she was last seen here,
but they are sufficiently evident in any
role to make any production of hers
interesting and convincing.
There was also some good incidental
acting, although the play is one Of
those which depend chiefly upon the
central figure. Sidney Irving was ex-
cellent as Cecil, the older son, and
Fred C. House very clever and original
as the younger son. Harold, as was
also animated, vivacious Miss Paula
Gloy, who appeared as Harolds sweet
heart, Madge.. They both showed
considerable humor in their scenes to-
gether. Particularly good incidental
scenes, too, were those between the
brothers, where they plotted against
their prospective stepfather in the Sec
ond act, overwhelming their mother
with unusual attentions, and decided
resignedly in the last act to welcome
him. 1t was such hunor as this af-
forded that relieved the seriousness of
the play, which, in Spite of its SOM

FUNERAL OF MRS C0LDING

Remains Laid Under Mound of Flow
eFs in Laurel Grove.
The funeral of Mrs. Laura S. Cold
ing took place yesterday afternoon
from her late residence on Jones street,
the last sad rites being pronounced
at the grave side in Laurel Grove Gene
terry. The funeral service was COM
Quoted at O'Clock at the residence by
Rev. Robb White, assisted by Rev.
James Y. Fair, of the Independent
Presbyterian Church, and short serv-
ice was held just before the remains
were lowered into the grave.
Though the blow sustained by the
four children when the gentle spirit
left its earthly habitation was cause
for extreme anguish, they bore with a
fortitude characteristic Of the moth
err instinct, taking. comfort in the
words of God pronounced by His serv-
ants. The service was at once sim
pie and beautiful. ASLEEP in Jesus"
and abide With Me- were sung by
Mrs. Finnie, Miss Adams and MessrS.
Beckett and Gordon at the house. and
at the grave side Peace, Perfect
Peace" "Thy VIII Be Done" and
THE Christians Farewell"
The extensive array of beautiful
floral offerings testified to the love
and esteem in which Mrs. Colding was
held, as did the large attendance on
the funeral. The remains were laid
to rest in Laurel Grove by the side
of the husband, and as clay was COM
mitted to clay, and the mound of
earth was still fresh with the tears
of sorrowing relatives and friends,
wreaths of fragrant flowers were laid
on until they hid the cold earth and
the white blossoms bespoke the nature
of the soul gone to rest.

necessary for interpreting the various
characters of the play.
Many times in productions of drama
tized romances, half the pleasure of
witnessing the play is spoiled by the

This !s the age OF science and scien-
tific research is occupying the minds of
the greatest men in all countries. New
discoveries are being made all the
time, and the public mind has not time
enough to grasp the wonders of some
new idea, when something newer still
is flashed on the scientific horizon more
wonderful than any that has gone be-
fore. Hypnotism is easily the most
wonderful scientific discovery of mod
ern times, and its demonstration is
within the reach of all. The Knowles,
the foremost hypnotists of this coun-
try, will open a weeks engagement at

Eggs are now so dear that prices on

Absolutely sane, unquestionably ra-
tional, tremendously amusing, genuine
ly invigorating" but a few of the
countless expressions Of cordial ap-
prevail made use of by the enthusiasts
tic newspaper critics of New York and
Boston concerning the merits of 1.-THE
Earl of Pawtucket," the eminently sue
cessful comedy, which astounded the
natives with it's unbroken record of
prosperity at three of the most promi-
nent Broadway theaters, where it en-
joyed more than pronounced favor.
Even while the sweltering summer
heat ordinarily made the playhouse a
place to be avoided, such was the in
terest in Kirke La Shelle's fortunate
comedy find that lovers of convivial
entertainment f1ocked to pay substan-
tial respects to Augustus Thomas for
having evolved such a highly COM
mendable stage offering. Thus it was
that while nearly all the other New
York theaters were taking their vaca-
tions, the one in which THE Earl of
Pawtucket' kept open house, proved a
pleasureable resort, not only to the
thousands upon thousands of out-of-
town people, but to all New Workers
who take delight in attending q per-
Torrance of exalted fun.
THE Early Of Pawtucket," with all
the elaborate scenic and furnishing eff
fects of it's metropolitan presentation,
will be the attraction at the theater
tonight, and it would not be at all
surprising if the engagement proved as
financially encouraging, as its welcome
here, from an artistic point, cannot fail
to be overwhelmingly agreeable. Prices:
Orchestra, $3.50; balcony, 81, 75c and

In addition to the clever book which
has been framed for "Alphonse and
CASTOR" which will be seen at the
theater, tomorrow matinee and night,
and the all star cast which is to in
terpret the lines and screaming situa-
lions, there are five great specialties
introduced.
These include a big dancing number
for twenty people. introducing the very
latest Partisan novelty for which this
attraction has the sole rights. 1t was

staged by them in Paris, and made an
instantaneous hit. They have refus-
