APRIL 17, 1907 A WEEK’S OFFERINGS AT THE THEATERS THE FAMOUS FENCING GIRL SCENE IN “THE LITTLE DUCHESS,” WHICH COMES TO THE BIJOU NEXT WEEK FOR AN ENGAGEMENT AT POPULAR PRICES. 'THE LITTLE DUCHESS,” COMING TO THE BIJOU; LOTS OF PRETTY GIRLS Popular Prices Old Favorite Offering. On The clever musical, elrllcal comedy, "The Little Duchess,” has always been a favorite here, and attracted Atlanta theatergoers on Its three former pre sentations here—first by Anna Held and twice since with the same elaborate production by Countess Olga von Hatz- feldt. This organisation of fifty peo ple returns for a week’s engagement at the Bijou theater, opening Monday night, with Countess Olga In the title role, surrounded by the same clever cast seen on Its last two performances here. Likewise, the same svelte "Sadie girls." natty fencing girls and other familiar features In the feminine con tingent will be present. Most prominent In the cast are the live clever comedians, Robert Lett, ns the bathing master; Irving Brooks, as the Dutch fencing teacher; Harry Car ter, as the smooth Abel Skinner; Geo. F. Moore, as the tobasco-tempered Por tuguese, and Madeline Cook, as the lovelorn Juliette, all of whom are_fa- vorably remembered ‘ I since their former successes In the same roles, as to need little Introduction. They will be seen with many new laughs added to their former charac terizations, for the comedians of this organisation have been allowed full play In Inserting their own Individual Ideas of comedy to the ultimate benefit of the whole as a laughing show. There have also been many new mus cat Interpolations since The Little Duchess” was last presented here, and considerable revision In the book, so It comes as an old friend In a new garb. The splendid production of scenery effects, costumes and gorgeous Parisian gowns which have always been a dis tinguishing feature of "The Little Duchess" will be seen again, and the fact that this will be the first presenta tion of this musical comedy at popular prices should prove a potent drawing attraction for the •week of nine tier- formances at the Bijou. It Is of the style of entertainment that appeals most strongly to the clientele of that {heater—primarily a laughing show, with one of the strongest corps of com- edlans of the season; a beautiful set ting and costumlc equipment; catchj nml an undsual array of fernln- Woman Up to Date.” This Is a great take off on the new woman and shows the many Interesting complications which would follow If there were such a thing as free suffrage. For the concluding bill there Is offered that well-known trage dy, "The Double Life.” This Is a ver sion of the great story of double Iden tity made famous In this country by the play, "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hide.” All of these films arc new and will be shown for the first time In Atlanta The Amuse U.

An entire play, "Retribution.” which Is another name for "The Bells," made famous In this country through Its pro duction by that great tragedian, Sir Henry Irving, will be the first picture play offered. It Is the story of a man who commits a murder and is so haunted by his crime that he Is killed by his conscience. This film Is some times referred to as “The Brand of Cain,” and has made a reputation trhoughout the country for the clear ness with which It Is produced. The tragedy Is to be followed by the come dy, "Flirting on the Sand.” This film gives a good view of the rolling beach, the dashing waves and the many bath ers In the surf. i music and an undsual array i lne loveliness In the chorus.

From the opening concert by the Mitchell Family Orchestra Monday aft ernoon through the last act on the bill, Manager Holland has arranged a pro gram for the vaudeville house In the Pastime Palace Theater which will be the best yet offered.

During the. past few days of this week there has been an unprecedented number bf begin ners on the floor learning this Invig- yratlng exercise. The management in anticipation of this Increased Interest has secured a number of Instructors to take the beginners In hand, and this safeguards against any accidents. The skates furnished are of steel; and ball bearings, which Insures a smooth and easy stride.

Helen Macboth, the understudy for Mary Mannerlng, has been playing the title role In “Glorious Betsy” since the Illness of her little daughter forced Miss Mannerlng (Mrs. James K. Hackett) to leave the company at New Orleans and hasten to New York. The newt that Miss Mannerlng would not appear caused many to take advantage of Manager Thompson’s offer and ask for a return of their admission paymenta But, strange to say, before the end of the first act there were few vacant seats. Many must have purchased the same tickets which others had returned In disappointment. But It was an audience representative of Atlanta's best which filled El Do rado. Marietta street was brighter with motor and carriage lamps than for many an evening, while the sidewalk leading from Peachtree waa presented an appearance unfamiliar to the thor oughfare.'

By RAOUL DE SAINT-RENE. Paris, April 27.—With peace confer ences ending and about to. come, the political situation Is nevertheless any thing but reassuring, and there are rumblings from the great volcano on which- we/ 1 , here In Europe, live which are signs of the struggle between the natlona many think must come nnd bring about readjustment of things be- fore we dare hope for universal peace. It Is not that there are any acute symptoms of any great Importance, but the great nations all armed to the teeth are all living In u slate of suspense' which Is exceedingly painful. It may be said without any prejudice that the whole situation centers aroun 1 the kaiser, who, without any Intention on his part. Is always wearing a chip shoulder which Is eyed with some time In the Thirty-ninth Infantry. I met the prince, who speaks French quite well, the other day at Cafe Riche, and found him a very polished and entertaining man of about thirty. He spoke with great enthusiasm of the Japanese soldier as he had seen him during the siege of Port Arthur. He admitted, however, that the Russians are probably even better soldiers, In as far as no amqunt of adversity will affect them, but said that they were poorly led. The prince Is living at Rouen under the name of Count Tada, and occupies a very unpretentious flat together with hie adjutant, Colonel Audo, and hie sec retary, M. Oussot. He Is a bom soldier end Is already very popular among Jits brother officers. Frogs reigning pets of the foots wlio delight In celling themselves roclelr ladles.

The least little thing Is apt to dis turb tho German war lord'H mental equilibrium, and he sees evil Intentions In Incidents which are In themselves small and Insignificant. Thus the meeting between King Ed ward ami King Victor Emanuel causbd the kaiser qiuch uneasiness, and this was, as always, reflected In the German press, which used columns to express an act which to any unprejudiced ob server wes nothing but an act of polite ness, without any political significance. To make matters worse, the French minister of war. General Plcquart, chose this time to Inspect the fortress of Belport, and In his automobile drove for 'miles along the German frontier. The kaiser has done the same thing time and again without causing any but the most casual comment In Hie French, but with the tables turned the whole German press Is In a turmoil of excitement.

When his strength Is spent ho will be aucoeeded by another, and, should the second not succeed, he will be followed by a third, who will tr yto finish the journey, but on no account will a swimmer who has left the water be allowed to con tinue In the attempt. It Is hoped to settle the question as to whather tnc terrible currents which since Captain Webb'a time have always thwarted even such good swimmers aa Holbein and Burgess can be overcome by men who are fresh and unfatlgued.
