AT THE THEATERS
At the Casino.
Barring one of those seemingly In
evitable, unavoidable and Inexcusable
sketches, the bill at the Casino this
week, as first presented to an audience
of large dimensions Monday night, is
all that could he asked.
The offending sketch tills week Is "A
Detective Detected," and the offending
sketchers ore Hickman Bros. & Co.
Tills Is alleged, to be u comedy stunt,
hut all were acquitted of the charge by
the unanimous verdict of the Jury.
More than counterbalancing this
flaw, however, Is the work of tho two
Juggling' troupes which are the real fea
tures of the performance.
The McBanes have perfected a nov
elty in Juggling that conies as near
reaching perfection In that line as any
thing that has been witnessed here bo-
fore, and this alone Is worth tho going.
The Sawad :s, a trqupe of Japanese
Jugglers, get off nn act of typical Jap
anese work of this character, but far
above the ordinary. Miss Lottie Sauls-
bury, the petite comedienne, won hear
ty applause and several recalls by her
rendition of popular songs.
Tim Cronin In a monologue, with Im
itations, burlesque, dancing and sev
eral other things. Is exceedingly clever,
or It would not be Tim. The Taylor
sisters know how to skate.
Pastime Theater Pleases.
vTt was a romp from the first to the
last act of the Pastime Theater on
Peachtree street Monday and Monday
night when the new vaudeville pro
gram was given Us first appearance.
M’L ALLEN HAD FALL
IN COAST OF DEATH
The strqp on his skates breaking Just
after he completed the 60-foot descent
of the Coast of Death, McLallen, the
skater who has made such a hit at the
St. Nicholas auditorium, was thrown
headlong to the floor at the audltorlujp
Monday night, and narrowly escaped
serious Injury.
He will be tho attraction every night
this week, and Tuesday, Thursday- and
Saturday afternoons at 5 o'clock. Tho
acts will be Interspersed with comedy
and change of costumes.

One of those who hns become thoroughly
posted along this line Is Mrs. K. H. Smith,
and she guys that the government hns the
authority uftder tho Sherman anti-trust law
to do this.
“When the time nrrlves," said Mrs.
Smith, “when the telegrsnh companies can
not transmit government business, the gov-

received the opinions of some of the best

Offered to Delay.
Following the receipt of this letter,
many of the operators who know Mr.
Stone personally took up the matter
with him. To give the Associated Press
every opportunity to agree with tho
union, one of the Atlanta operators
wired Mr. Stone that If the latter would
give his personal word to use his In
fluence with tho directors to bring
about a concession to the union, tho
operators would In turn see that the
association was given an extension of
twenty-four hours before the strike. A
number of operators In other cities
made the same proposal, but received
no satisfaction from Mr. Stone, a later
message repeating the statement that
tho time was too short for anything to
be accomplished.
From the Atlanta office, every man
walked out. R. B. Cheney, J. A. Arm
strong and Paul H. Joyner, the night
men, were at work when the hour ar
rived and the clicking of the Intrumenta
■topped short. They put on their coats
and left the office. T. A. Pinson, the

walk-out, and also left with his fellows.

assistant, were left alone.
