After seeing him In this production one wonders why Uondwtn and the do Mltles did not discover each other a long, longwhile ago. Put It Is nil right now. When ripeness of years and a fair degree of embonpoint hare come to the genial Goodwin he becomes a genius. And the splendid audience at the Grand Monday evening set the seal of approval on Mr. Goodwin and went sway avowed disciples of the theory that he Is, maybe after all, "Tho Genius." Confessedly many were In the audi torium to seo Miss Kdna Goodrich, be cause of same remote connection She had with the Thaw affair. But In the fresh and radiant beauty of this young woman nnd her clevern"*-. they forgot that primal Interest, ua Mika Goodrich probably wlahes them to do. No »m- bttloui young actreaa desires to base her meed of public esteem by oven re mote connection with n great scandal. "The Genius" Is a very clever piece of work. It has action, sufficient hu man Interest, sanity of treatment and very, very clever dialogue, if . it was not for flfteen-mlnuto testa between the two curtains Mr. Goodwin would shortly have a plethora of damage aults from persons rendered helpless by ex cessive cschlnatlon. What Is the use of giving a tasteless resume of the plot? In n word. It Is a chortling vehicle made for people with a grouch. Tho man or woman who ran alt through the three acts without laughing Is entitled to a Carnegie hero medul. Probably It would be n tin- press agent business to offer It, ns there would be no danger of having to put up. Mr. Ooodwln may not butt Into the Temple of Tame or get himself em balmed In biographies and "Who's Whos." as "one of America's greatest actors.” but humanity will own him u bit of a debt for sanding them away from his performances with a bunch of real old human emotion welling up In them. Anil that Is a pretty good mission after all. His supporting company Is excellent. Miss Goodrich deoe-vt* all the press notices concerning .ter rich and ap- C flng beauty. And she bus talents to k It up—a statement that would re quire a hunch of affidavits if said about aome great American beauties. Messrs. O'Brien. Iteaelt nnd.

They burn up enough powder In the fourth net to stock a fairly respectable Central American revolution. That fourth act. by the way. Is th" climax of the play. Tho stage Is set to represent the deck of Admiral Togo's flagship "Mlkuss " Three or four Out tllng guns oiciipy prominent positions on the deck, and, at the proper time, belch forth enough flnme and smoke 11 ploase the most burdened gallery god. For real, live action. "The Boy Be hind the Gun" can't lie beaten. The play baa to do with the war between Russia and Ja|*u ami some Americans who get mixed up In llie plot. Tho villain Is a Russian count. You know tho rest. A hunch of real Japaneso prove an Interesting feature, and their marching and drilling In the second act culled forlb plenty of applause. In llie Port Arthur hospital scene tho Japa' method of scaling walls made a lasting hit. Of course Harry Clay Blaney. who has tho "smile that won't como off" and who plays the part of "Wtlllo Live," war correspondent and chief hutter-ln, was half tha show. Kitty Wolfe came In for a liberal ahare of honors, whlla John Leach as "Ring Lee" might well be mlstuken for a real Chink. Tha scenery Is In keeping with the usuully give their productions, and I ■day goes with a snap and dash that keeps you on tiptoes all the time. But those Gatling guns ore great. Let iib hope the supply of gun powder doesn't give out before Saturday. C. J. K. "Zara” Corots Wednesday. “Zuxa" Is tha play In which Mlsa Mabel Montgomery will appear at the Grand on Wednesday at matinee nnd night. In Its original French It wns the work of l’lerro Bertou. The Kngllsh version proved G»*he the most artistic hit of Mrs. Leslie Carter’s career. It la tin adaptation Involving much orlgl- nnllty, as well as nice discrimination between the tastes of French und American audiences. "A Message From Mars.” When a play can run successfully for more than one year In New York city there Is no doubt ns to Its merit. "A Message From Mars," n beautiful comedy, will bo presented here ut the Grand Thursday matinee and night. This play not only ran two years con secutively In New York, hut It Increased danger from luck of fire protection. This was the state of things In the beginning of my administration as mayor. A member of council, I forget now who It was. Introduced u resolution looking to a sale of those old works. What were we to do? Tho former council had unloadsd on the then new council a debt of forty thousand dollars, and one of the banka held the oily's obligation for It.. The country was just emerging from (he panic of IHI- "flluck Friday,” 1 think it was caned —and times were hard. The people could scarcely bear any Increuse of taxation or assessments. Public opin ion at first favored the Idea of n sale, oh also did. 1 think, both the council and the wuter board, each of them as uble and putriotlc ns any the city ever hod. and I myself at first favored It. But we proceeded cuuthmsly and watted. The policy of municipal own ership was then new to us nil. The result of Investigation waa that public opinion changed, and a sentiment wns aroused not before apparent, by which the people became willing to make the needed sacrifices to Improve and main tain the works, and not to aell. but to move Ike plant to n new and better lo cation as soon as possible. This view was Anally adopted by the council and of the water board, and by myself. Universal Meter System. We adopted and put Into effect the universal meter aystem. Important re. pairs were made In the bollera and en gines. The pressure In the mains at once rose so that the Are department could get six or eight streams of water over the top of the then highest build ings: the Insurance companies took off tha burden and such was the Improved aervire and economy that what was supposed to be one year's supply of coal contracted for under former stand ards laatad two years and a half. We contracted for a Altar fllant, with capacity double what the city waa then using. These things were expensive, but by a wise economy wo provided the ways nnd means out of current In comes without Issuing any bonds: nnd at the close of my administration us mayor tho city had an absolutely clean balance aheet: every obligation thut was due paid to the last dollars and 1 leaving on hand actual cash and assets In course of collection equivalent to cash sufficient to cover the Alter con tract. Probably no stronger or more emphatic Indorsement and approval of any city administration was ever printed In Atlanta tlmn what appeared editorially In the city papers. Including The Constitution, the day after I re tired from office. These were written by men who had been observers and actors In those events, and were read und applauded by a whole city full of people who knew the facta to b# true. constantly on view for a period of three years In London. “Tha College Widow.” It Is aaltl that the original manu script of "The College Widow," George Ado's successful comedy, which comet to the Grand next Friday and Satur day nights und Saturday matinee. Is one of tha most complete ever deliv ered by an author. Mr. Ade hud a very distinct Idea of each character he Introduces Into his play, und there were pages of appended nnteu In the script, setting forth Ills notions regarding minute details of attire and maka-up. It Is said that every one of the In teresting village tviies in the comedy him living replicas In the town of West laifayetle, Ind, where Is located Purdue University, from which the playwright was a graduate.

Itutler BUYING HORSES AS A SIDE LINE Mayor Joyner Is In Indlanapolla this week helping Chief Cummlnga ta buy horaea for the Are department. With more than twenty yeara of ex perlence aa chief, during which time he had to buy horeea every yaar for tha department, the mayor thlnka he knowa a little about the gentle art of horae trading, ami he Is showing his succes sor the ropes. Mayor Joyner and Chlaf Cummlnga will probably be gone the entire week. A short while after .tha close of my term as mayor I waa elected water commissioner, and was kept on the board for about Afteen years (until rsslgned), anil I waa most of the time Its president. In a few years after the close of m: term as mayor tha old works on Bouti river were abandoned, and we con structed the new works north of the city, which became a complete and gratifying succeas as a plant and a ' m. pursuant to what had bean lad while I. waa mayor. All this done .and completed In the Itta- of Mr. Richards and before Cole- Mnnday night. "In th* Wrong Houae” waa tha play, and Measra. Carr and Conlay wera the utnrs. The play deals tilth the complica tions which arise from a brassy com mercial traveler being called suddenly to act the part of n bishop and a sedate professor, being surrounded by a let of situations which he eould not explain, nnd. therefore, had to endure. Messrs. Carr and Conley are splendid At Cl Dorado. A splendid uudlenen laughed Immod erately at the offering by the Baldwin- Melville Stock Company at El Dorado Wrong House" they found sufficient absurd situations to penetrate tha risi bilities of the most hlnae and ennuled. Miss Louis* Kent proved haraelf equally as good In comedy work as ahs has been In melodrama. Her Cissy was a breezy, wholesome help to the comedy of the piece. Tho play Is well cast and Is strong from curtain to curtain with hearty laugh* "In the Wrong House" will be played Tuesday and Wednesday, matinees and nights, and then Is offered "The Roof Garden Tragedy." nol Woodward became superintendent. Worked laboring Oar. 1 do not say that I did all these thlngn; not by any means.'The city hod other and faithful servants; but do claim that 1 worked the labor ing oar. For much of this partod 1 gave something like a Ihlrd of my tlms to this Important public service. I knew then, and I know now that Atlanta can not be a grant city without a well managed and adequate water supply. I dp not boost of what I did. I did no moro than my duty. It Is tho duty of every man to make eacrlAces .In the service of hie fellow men. The words of commendation I ct> often receive Is belter tluin money or salary. But I do boast nT (lie fact that prob ably no man In Georgia for a genera tion nearly lias acted and spoken nnd w ritten more, und with better effect In favor of municipal ownership of pub lic utilities than I have. It la not correct lo Bay that I have always opposed bonds. It Is true that I have hod very earnest views In ev ery bond cloctlon, and have oxpressed them freely. Where It appeared plain ly that a bond issue waa absolutely necessary, nnd where the voters nail assurance In binding legal form what was golrg to he done with the money I havo favored the bonds nnd voted lor them. Where these conditions did not exist I opposed the bonds. That Atlanta Is today the best paved nm! best sewered city In tho country, the same costing over three million doilnrs, paid therefor hr cash Instead or with bonds that would otherwise have been outstanding as a mortgags on the blood and swsst of"cur people anu our children. In duo to the large class of laiv-ahldlng and hard work ing people, who ngrae with me nbou' economy nnd safety In the city Anances. Pardon me for use of the personal pro. noun, biit any man has the right of reply. If the city government ar.d the water board want tho people to vote for bonds, let them cut down th# amount to n reasonable Agure and Ax It so llie voiers will know, not merely that this, that, on tho other thing In said to be needed, but know where they will apply the money whin they get It, and then the bonds mny possibly carry In the , emmg election; but otherwise, nol.
