“Ths Christian" at Grand.
If there are any terms of praise that
have not already been applied to the
George Fawcett Stock Company, the
critic would appreciate the favor If
called to hla attention.
The company gave a splendid and
an altogether delightful presentation of
Hall Caine's masterpiece, "The Chris
tian," at the Grand Monday night, but
all the ready adjectives. It Is learned
have already been lavished upon the
members for other splendid perform
ances.
It was quite the largest audience of
the summer season that greeted the
company Monday night, and certainly
no audience of previous nights was
more pleased. "The Christian” In It
self It a difficult play to produce, snd
It abounds In roles that art difficult.
And yet, with a nnlsh truly artistic,
with a perfect care for every little de
tall remarkable for a stock company,
and even more unusual on a first night,
ahd with a mastery of technique on the
part of the principals, ths play waa
presented In such a manner aa to leave
room for only silght criticism, even If
there had been a maturity of expert
ence on the part of the entire caat.
Flaws there were and flaw* there
probably always will be on a first night
Miss Jane Wheatley mode a eplendld
Glory Quayle, the mischievous, care
free girl of the woods, but as Gloria,
ths music hall belle, she did not have
qulto the vivacity, the dash, tho sip,
that one la wont to associate with
such a part. In the last acenee, when
the scales began to fall from her eyes,
her Interpretation and delineation were
again well-nigh perfect.
Regan Hughston. as John Storm,
made the real hit of the evening. Mi
Hughston Is blessed with a well mod
ulated voice and a commanding atage
Tesence, which add luster to any part
e portrays.
The play Is well staged. The mob
was not mob-llke and did not d
enough mobbing, but It will probabl;
Improve with age. "The Christian” wll
be on all the week.
"All the Comforts of Home."
If "laugh and grow fat” fa an axiom
of good repute, then Atlanta's thin
population has an excellent opportuni
ty to wax corpulent by journeying out
to the Ponce DeLeon Casino, where
William Gillette's comedy, "All the
Comforts of Home," will be presented
every night this week.
The company made Its Initial ap
pearance at Ponce DeLeon Monday
night under most adverse circum
stances, ths drisxtlng rain and threat
ening weather keeping all but the most
herdy away from the park. Conse
quently the show was witnessed by an
audience which did not approach any
thing like the proportions the play
merited. But nevertheless, ‘‘All the
Comforts of Home” captivated the In
lereet of tho spectators throughout the
four acts and It waa one contlnuoua
round of laughter from the rising of
tho curtain to the falling thereof.
Ths effort of an enterprising young
men to make money during ths ab
sence of his uncle by renting the house
of the latter to roomers, furnishes the
reel from which the two hours and a
half of fun Is unwound.
There Is little music, no singing and
no dancing, which Is unusual for a
comedy, but there are plenty of good
jokes, witty remarks, comical situations
and the like to keep any audience in n
frenzy of merriment. "All the Com
forts of Home" Is well worth seeing.
Pastime Theater.
This week's bill at the Pastime The-
atei on Peachtree street eeeme des
tined to make that little home of vaude
ville one of the most delightful of At
lanta's many summer resorts. The Mu
sical Stlpps pleased and delighted be
yond measure. During their turn,
which lasted twenty minutes, nearly
every known musical Instrument was
handled and sweet airs elicited from
each. Heins nnd Beatle, the clever
comedy team, presented an original
playlet which mndo an Instantaneous
lilt. Miss Anna Stelnborn made
great hit by her sympathetic ren<
tions of popular ballade. The stere
optlcon views shown while she song
were particularly apropos. Miss Kelly
brought the bill to a eloee by her songs
ond dances. There are performances
dally at 3 and 4 o'clock and each even
Ing continuously from 7:30
o'clock.
“Inaugural Carnival."
All the preparations are now com
pleto for the "Inaugural Carnival 1
which Is to be held In the rink of the
St. Nicholas Auditorium at Ponce De
Leon park Saturday night. At this
time the auditorium will be brilliantly

ale arranged.
