f* ATI’ll DAY, APRIL 20. 1W. TBK ATLANTA GKOROIAN,’ AND NEWS. A WEEK’S OFFERINGS AT THEATERS REALLY WORTH WHILE IS "AROUND THE CLOCK" AT BIJOU ALL NEXT WEEK The Bijou will offer next week a- mu ■leal play that come* with the guar antee that It la by far the moat In teresting musical comedy of the season at that theater. It Is “Around the Clock." an all night of fun and hilarity. Borne Idea of the rpal merit of the piece can best be gained by reading the following notice of "Around the Clock." which appeared' Tuesday the Birmingham Age-Herald: "Around the Clock." which began a week's engagement at the Bijou Thea ter last night, la In some respects the best musical show that has been offer ed to patrons of the Bijou this season. It proved an agreeable surprise to a large audience last night and won fa vor In such an unmistakable way that crowded houses will no doubt be In order for the remainder of the week. In the drat place, the show Is a gen ulna novelty. It la full of unusual sit. nations, comedy that Is effective. If hi-, sarre, and scenes that tickle the risi bilities Immensely. It Is a wide de parture from the musical comedies that have been seen In Birmingham before. Billie Ritchie aa Billie Smith, a man who Is never sober, appeared In a role that he' played with marked ability and he was given excellent support by Rich McAllister ns the bell boy. This pair amused the audience considerably In the flrst and second acts, and other members of the company also had a hand in the fun making, but It was In the third act that a climax of the hilar ity was reached. This act was staged to represent a music hall where vaude ville numbers were ludicrously bur lesqued, , with the assistance of the comedians who occupied boxes on eith er side and were supposed to be mem bers of the make-believe audience. Some of these acts were better than others, of course, but all were funny ami created an uproar that Increased until the climax was reached In a wrestling match that was literally what a press agent would call a "screaih.” One or two other acts on the "bill" were equally as good. Mr. Ritchie and Mr. McAllister were not still moment during this act and the laugh ter from pit to dome was continuous. In addition to Its mirth provoking qualities, "Around the Clock" has a well trained chorus of girls, who sing fairly well and are sprightly at all times. The songs are tuneful and i variety of elaborate costumes lend col or to the ensembles. FIRST SHUBERT OFFERING PROMISES NEW PLAYERS FOR SEASONS TO COME The announcement that Mary Man-Imlght have been brought to Dixie In nerlng would appear at the El Dorado 1 tm Theater next Friday night has caused more than ordinary Interest among Atlanta lovers of the theater, not so much on account of Miss Mannerlng. as of the flrst entrance of the "In dependent" managers Into Atlanta. It Is taken aa a forecast of the seasons to come, and the hope Is expressed that the Shuberts and Belaaco and the other Interests who have severed their relations with the syndicate of produc ing managers known ns "Klnw A Er- langer" will have a theater next sea son where their players may be seen. The writer Is not disposed to Join In the tumult of cries of "oppression” and "monopoly” aginst the booking syndicate which has control of most Southern theaters, and which Is headed by Klnw & Erlsnger, of New York. The differences between the producers have been brought about by many causes and the skirts of neither side are entirely unspotted. If the syndicate has dictated what plays may be given In their houses and when. It Is also true that under the direction of the syndicate most of their productions have been well mounted, presented by, players of at least average merit, and fully as satisfactory as In seasons be fore the altercation of th* managers brought about a separation of Inter est*. It Is true that th* South has not been satlafled with Its share of the th*. ntrlcal feast and has felt that more leading players and more new plays consideration of the liberal patronage accorded. A protest has also been often made against occasional Infliction on the public,' at ful Iprlces, of produc tions which are given In the East at second rale theaters and at price* com mensurate with the merit of the offer ing. But without entering Into a discus slon of the method* of the syndicate, It Is certain that the theatergoing public will welcome the entrhnce of a new factor Into the Held. The Shuberts and their allied Interests—foremost among whom Is David Uelnsco, the foremost producing manager In Amer leal-can but offer that rlvnlry and competition which should elevate the tone of the productions offered. Be sides that. It will give to Atlanta an opportunity to see many players of well-known ability and many plays which have been successful In the East, but have been barred from the the- ter* of the combination circuit since they severed connection with the book ing company. It Is to be regretted that the Shu berts waited until the close of the sea son before experimenting In Atlanta, but it Is expected that some arrange ment will be made by next season by which the El Dorado will be secured or another theater built which will be open to tha "Independent" attraction*. Atlanta Is amply able to support two flrst-clasa theaters If productions worthy of patronage are presented.

Ypsilanll, Mich, April 20.—One thou- •and dollars Is being raised by the friends of Miss Lora Bryant, the Slate Normal school student who dlaappaard from home last Monday, with a view to employing an expert detective to And her. It Is understood Mlsa Bryant expressed a desire to drop out of sight i and study slum Ilfs. Mary Mannerlng, the charming and capable young actress, has. It Is sold, In her new vehicle, "Glorious Betsy," th* best play of the year. The au thor of the new play Is Rlila Johnsoh Young, who wrote "Brown of liar* yard."* . Miss Mannerlng began her career when but 15 years old. It was one of those peculiar things we hear about that played the decisive part In her earlier career. Home friends happened to see the young girl's picture at an exhibition In London. They were charmed by the beauty and expressive ness of the face. The original, then but 15 years old, was living quietly with her friends, and her picture was on view only because an artist had admired her beauty and obtained per mission to transfer It to canvus. These friends—one of whom was Kyrle Bel low—Induced her to go upon the stage. During her llrst season she played more than Ally small parts under the name of Florence Friend. For the next three year* she continued to act In the British provinces, acquiring a fairly wide experience, but never attaining the reclame of nn appearance In the West End. or Andlng a London mnn- | nger who cared to secure her services. ! The next step 111 her career was a j suAlclently surprising one. though the i account of It thut lias pussed Into cur- ' rent theatrical history Is not quite eor- 1 met. The accepted version Is that ! Daniel Froliman. during one of his summer holidays, was making a solita ry bicycle tour over the country high sonntlons that stand out as her were Fay. the Italian girl In "The Princess and the Butterfly." nnd Rose Tmlawney, the delightful actress who gave "Trelawney of the Wells" Its title. Acting one winter with the troupe after ItH removal to Daly's, Miss Mun- nerlng then signed to star In a drama tisation of the year's "best seller," "Janice Meredith." The story had never nppenled to her. and she liked the piny still less, but 'It was fortunate perhaps that she did not take the ad vice of a New York critic, who sug gested that Jocelyn Leigh In "To Have nnd to Hold" would suit her "down to the ground." For "Janice Meredith" proved a strong popular success, while "To Have nnd to Hold." put forward later with Isabel Irving and Robert Loralnc In the chief parts, turned out to be utterly unsulted to the stage, nnd was summarily bundled Into the storage wnrehnu.se. Then came "The Btubbornes* of Geraldine" nnd "Harriet's Honeymoon." Lost season she appeared with her husband. James K. Hnckett, as co-star In "The Walls of Jerlco," the play written by Alfred Sutru, which wus one of ’the leading successes In New York last season. When Mr, Hnckett decided to become a manager, and to pet only at conven ient Intervals. Miss Munne'rjng, there fore. returned to the lone star state In "Glorious Betsy.” Miss Mannerlng has u tall, willowy figure, a distinguishing hearing, the head of Faed’s “Evangeline," a face of great sensibility, and the rare strange f charm of gray eyes and dark hair; and days In the south side theater, that ctramplon of lady swimmers. Miss Kll- lerman, whose aquatic feats In the na- totorlums of New York-were good for columns of pictures and descriptive articles In the Sunday papers, will dis port herself on a sea of canvas. This Atm will be followed by a comical crea tion entitled "The Milkman.” In the north side theater a series of funny Alms will be presented. "The Freak Barber" will head the list. He will be followed by the "Arabian Magi cian." Those comical little fellows, "The Terrible Kids," will conclude the triple bill. Pastime Palace Theater. Vaudeville Is flrmly entrenched In Atlanta now and to the efforts of Man ager Holland, of the Pastime Palace Theater, on Peachtree street, opposite the Engllsh-Amerlcan building, some of this credit Is certainly due. Beginning Monday night, he will present the fourth bill of high-class vaudeville which has every afternoon and night for the past three pocked the cool little ■ heater and delighted each audience. The management has found It neces sary to Introduce a ‘'continuous." One begins In the afternoon at 1:30 o’clock and conlinues until five o'clock In the afternoon. The second "coh- tinuous" goes on at 7 o’clock and con tinues until 11 o'clock. Professor Rands and his educated dog* have been secured In the East for a special attraction, lflie Rowes, Leonard and Rose, will lie an added attraction. • This rlever comedy team will present a one-act sketch entitled "A Trip on the Derby." Miss Lee White, a favorite since the opening of the house, will remain another week. She will he followed by the team of Perry and White In a sketch, "The La*t Farewell." Master Roy Mitchell, the rblld cor- netlst, will conclude the week's bill. St. Nicholas Auditorium. With the advent of warmer weather, those devotee* of that healthy and fascinating exercise of roller skating have been flocking to the superb skat ing rink of the Ht. Nicholas Auditorium at Ponce DeLeon Park. For the past two weeks the management has of fered an extra Inducement to skaters to attend its dally session by Intro ducing during a performance a vaude ville artist on skates. Rut It is for the thrilling sensation of skating, the nearest approach mortal lias yet found to flying on wrings, that the great crowds Journey dally and nightly to this rink, and It la pure and unalloyed skating that the manage ment Is going to offer for a few weeks. The building by day Is flooded with sunlight and has .such perfect ventila tion that It la equivalent to n mon ster rink out of doors.

A noted doctor who ha* made this branch of human aliment his especial study and who conducted the famous open-air camps for consumptives In the pine forests of Maine, In a recent Inter view gave some very Interesting com ments on this subject. He says: That the treatment of consumption Is very simple, but that It must be continuous and diligently pursued by the patient, and If this Is done It Is sure to cure In the primary stages and frequently even where far advanced. The main part cf the treatment la exercise and the con stant Inhaling of pure fresh air Into the lungs In such a manner as to force It Into the deepest cavity and air cells of that organ. This can be done by th* hhblt of deep breathing drawing In the abdomen and expanding the lungs to their fullest capacity and then exhaling slowly. This at flrst will cause a little dlxzlness, but with a few days’ prattle* will entirely disappear. He also advises the use of a mucous membrane stimulant and says for this latter there is nothing known to science to equal th* oil obtained from the pine tree. There Is now an oil of this kind which Is condensed and puri fied. It Is known to the profession as the Concentrated oil of pine.
