Well, I should say I am.” This was the charming greeting given a Georgian representative by "Mrs. Weston.” of the “Cowboy and the Cady," at the Grand last night between tlie first and second acts, right after she had received euch a warm welcome following her debut with the Fawcett Stock Company. With hlr eyea sparkling and her face beam Ing the delight which follows the thrill of a "hit,” “Mrs. Weston," Who In pri vate life Is Miss Jane Wheatley, con tinued: “One is always glad to get back to Atlanta It Is a olty of delightful sur prises. You know, I find everything changed hero since my visit four years ago, except the audience. That la the same enthusiastic, encouraging audi ence for which Atlanta ta noted, and which always makes one try to do his or her best. “How I wish I could play the 'Girl' part here In Belaaco'a 'The Girl of the Golden West.’ You know, I had Just closed my. season with Belasco In that part. I played tho Western circuit, while Miss Bates, the creator of the role, played the Eastern. I went to the home of the 'Girt,' and waa well received. You know, generally, when a particular character 1b staged and that play Is sent there the people from whom the character Is taken generally resent her. They look upon tho play wright as a caricaturist of their sim ple life, and the character as his car toon. Well, this waa not the case with Belaaco'a 'Girl.' He had picked her out bo true to life that they recognized her and her mannerisms at once and gave her an ovation. It waa applause for one of their own that they felt they were giving. "It la my favorite part, and, I think, the greatest part I have aver played. "But next to her I prefer Glory Quayle, in The Christian.’ We play that here next week, and I do hope you will like it. It Is a fine part and gives one auch an opportunity. “I am ao glad my audience was ao kind and gencroua tonight You know, I had never even seen thl* play Olid had to learn my lines and 'busineas' in three rehearsals. I arrived Friday morning and havo learned It all since then. Talk about your girls 'cramming' and 'boning' for examinations! Why, I know all about It, and more, too, following thla experience. But tnopo to Improve next week. "But to return to Atlanta. I had just finished my season, as I said, when Mr. Fawcett offered lhe a 'lead.' I asked where, and he said, 'Atlanta' “You know, I was going to another summer resort, but decided that Atlan ta svaa lust aa good, so here I am and— "That's my cue. Goodby"—and Miss Wheatley waa Mrs. Weston again.

Vnts, nil! happen In the best ret «ed theatrical families and "My V. ifv’s Family” Is no exception by at least two miles It Is a calamity. The alleged musical farce was pre sented to a large, but not altogether enthusiastic audience at the f’aslno Monday night and while it Is true that one or two parts are fairly well taken care of, the residue Is such a negative quantity and the play such an abomi nation that there Is reully practically nothing to praise except perhaps the author's consideration in not making the acts twice as long and three times as many of them. John McDowell as Doc Knott was good. It was not his fault that he w; burdened with a series of antiquated jokes and whiskered situations and he did well, considering what he had to do It with. ”Ih this n play or a young riot usked one of the sufferers.
