production who occupies a cellar even
In the wilds of Western social scale.
Few playwrights would perhups have
chosen such a character for a hero, but
Mr. Hoyle has done it, and done It sue.
cessfully, too. HI* hero may be an out
cast from 'Society, but he Is a man for
all that, and such a man Indeed as will
not lose prestige even for a matinee Idol
like Mr. Jewett.
The story told by the play Is full of
throbbing Interest. Its glimpse* of
English country life In the llrst act Is
followed by a picture of Western ranch
life, that Is both pleasing and naturul.

than Frank Plxley and Oustav Larders,
to whom the American public Is In
debted for the humor and melody of
"The Prince of Pllsen,” and "King
Dodo.” The presentation of a new-
work from their pens Is a matter of
considerable Interest, and when the
production le made by Klaw & Er-

well known comedian. Frank Moulan,
and an excellent company of 100 peo
ple especially selected for their vocal
and comedy ability. Plxley nnd I.u-
ders have constructed In "The Grand
Mogul” a logical, consistent story with
bright- catchy music of a higher order
ttyui Is usually found In modern mini-
cal comedy. Tllclr work Is a finished
artistic product, without specialties,
Interpolations, transformation scenes
or burlesquu features. The environ
ment Is picturesque, the scenes being
located at Hbnnlulu and on the Island
of Inde In the South Seas.
The story I concerns the adventaro*
of a' party of Americans who are car
ried by balloon from Honolulu to the
Island of Inde and dropped, down
among comic opera conditions. Frank
Moulan plays the role of an American
circus side-showman who find himself
called upon to exercise the functions

THE BLACK CROOK
IN A NEW
TO
Big Extravaganza Is Billed
For Week at Popular
House.
At the Bijou next week Miller and
Plohn will present a spectacular pro
duction of the classic extravaganza,
••The Black Crook.” The old-time melo
dramatic zpectacle has been given an
entirely new dress, new music has been
provided and mddern dancing has sup
planted the almost obsolete ballets. As
to the story, however, but little change
has been rndde, and the original Idea
conceived by Charles Barras remains
the plot of the play, nit hough the ver
sion used Is the one that was played In
Boston for the revival of “The Black
Crook” In 1876.
The story wljl bear telling anew. Ru
dolph and Amina are a pair of youthful
lovers. Amina Is also loved by Count
Wolfensteln, a villainous nobleman, who
has employed as a henchman Hertzog.
called the “Black Crook,” from a de
formity, and from the fact that he al
ways dresses In the most somber of
hues. Hertzog has made a compact
with the devil, whereby he la to gnln a
prolongation of his life In return for tho
corruption of human souls. *‘A single
soul a single year.” Is the compart. He
seeks to destroy Rudolph and to bring
Amina to his master. Stalacta, the
fairy queen. Interposes In their behalf,
however, and Hertzog and his villain
ous employer, Wolfensteln, meet with
the same fate they had Intended for
Rudolph nnd Amina.
This story has given plenty of oppor
tunity for scenic display and the Intro
duction of novel musical numbers, nn
advantage which. It Is said, has been
fully appreciated by the present man
agement. New scenery has been pro
vided from the studios of Frank Dodge,
electrical effects by Klelgl Brothers,
and a wealth of marvelous dresses from
several prominent costumers. As an
added feature, acts have been provided,
Including the Donazetta family of acro
bats; Pierce and Roslyn, In a foreign
costume singing act, and the Sylves
ters, In an English novelty. .

8 COLLEGE PLAY8 POPULAR. 8
SGOOOOOOOOOOOO0OOO0OOOijaOO
The college play has been an Import
ant factor In the amusoment field for
the past two years. A natural ques
tion provoked by this-circumstance Is
summed up In the word—why?
A man who has seen “Stronghcart,”
Tho College Widow” or “Brown of
Harvard,” which comes to tho Grand
on Wednesday next for a two nights
and Thursday matinee engagement will
not hesitate for the proper reply.
mlrt.hinmnn The nroduc on has wl11 Hft y th ® wllW play exists, and

of the other sox. be she school girl,

Among tho strongest reasons for the
college play's popularity Is tho fact

and the costumes designed by F.

OOOOOOOO0OO0OOOOOOO0OOOOOO
"Under Southern Skies" wo* the at
traction at the Grand Friday night.
"Under Southern Skies" could hardly
be characterised as a "to-havc-and-to.
hold" attraction. It did not have many
In the audience, nnd It failed to hold a
large ahnre of these.
The play consists of four acts, the
Intermission between the second and
third acts dicing the last chance for a
visit to a life-saving station. The cast
consists of a, braco of luckadulslcal
heroes, a well-dressed villain, a frog-
In-your-throat heroine, several minor
grndes of heroes, heroine* und vil
lains, and a number of pistols.
"Under Southern Skies" Is supposed
to be typical of the South. The ver
dict of the audience was that It might
make a typical Southern grave If It
was seven feet deeper under Southern
skies.
A specialty or two Is about nil there
Is to commend the play. The company
is better than the play. Here Satur

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
O O
O "MADAME BUTTERFLY." 0
O O
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
One of the notable features mentioned
by New York critics In their review*
of the "Madam Butterfly" production
Is the excellent enunciation of the for
eign singers In the caet. Each sylla
ble of the pretty Japanese story In the
Puccini opera Is clearly understood.
There need be no surprise at finding
such results when It Is known that
Henry W. Savage turned his stnrs over
to Hermann Klein, who put them
through three months of rigorous train
ing In English, same as ho did for
the Savage production of "Parsifal."
WOULD COMBINE
CITY AND COUNTY
That the city nnd county should be
consolidated under one government, and
that the city should Inaugurate a sys
tem {of Insuring stores and residences.
Is the suggestion advanced by ex-Coun.
oilman Eldred S. Lumpkin in connec
tion with the prdposed appointment of
a commission for the purpose of r*
vising tho city’s charter.
“The oily of Atlanta Is large enough,"
says Mr. Lumpkin, “and Includes so
much of Fulton county that Mno longer
see the necessity for two separate gov
ernments. We only need one tax col
lector, no sheriff, one chief of police,
etc., und by this method the expemv*
of both the city and the county would
be greatly reduced.”
Mr. Lumpkin also favors the plan
adopted by some cities of Insuring
property against loss by Are. the prop'
erty owner to' pay the city a lire pre
mium when he puys his taxes..

who are base or mean are rare. Most
of them Indulge. In more or fewer of
thq follies of exuberant youth, have
“their fling,” as the saying goes, but
thf great majority are honest ami
manly. They resent gross suggestion
and -applaud probity. A presentation
of such a life-attracts the best, that
Is to say, the largest element In any
community. A man of finally finds In
It the spirit ho would Inculcate In his

Even the bluse, the world-weary nnd
satisfied, find an elixir of interest In a
play throbbing with an enthusiasm
which they have lost It gives them
temporary renewal of spirit und trans
ports them back for a few moments to
the time when they, too, “thought all
the world was young and every goose
a swan.” Every, man Is grateful when
