“The Squaw Man.”
It la no pleasant undertaking for a
number two company to appear In a
city one year after the number one
company has made a great success In
the preaentatlon of a splendid play.
Everybody la prejudiced In advance
against number two. Comparisons,
which are always odious and usually
Invidious, fly thick and fast, and a sigh
goes up after the curtain has fallen on
the last act and everybody turns to
everybody else with the far-away look
and tells how beautifully the great So-
and-So did It.
Which. Is by way of Introduction to
the fact, that Henry Jewett and sup.
porting company worked under a de
elded disadvantage In the presentation
of 'The Squaw Man” at the Grand Fri
day night, making the work of the star
and the cast all the more noteworthy
In that they overcame this disadvan
tage and received the commendations
and applause of the fair audience that
braved the weather for a visit to the
Grand.
Mr. Jewett possibly Is not the equal
of Faversham. The cast Is not the
equal of the cast that supported Favcr-
sham. But Faversham's company was
an unusual one—unusually good, un
usually noteworthy.
Mr. Jewett Is fully capable of pre
senting the title role, and hla company
Is well up to the standard.
'The Squaw Man” Is one of the most
thrilling, one of the most realistic plays
of years. An Idealisation of. cowboy
life, it at the same time holds up the
mirror to Western life as probably no
other play of years has done.
The play throbs with life and pul
sates with heart Interest from curtain
to curtain.
As presented by Mr. Jewett and com
pany, It Is well worth the seeing. Here
Saturday matinee and night.
J. D. G.
T do not believe that there la a law
which says a wife may not risk all
things to save her husband’s life!”
It Is a treat to hear Miss Florence
Davis speak those lines In the last art
of Henrik Ibsen's powerful drama of
domestic life, "A Doll's House," which
comes to the Grand Monday and Tues
day. She has made her sufferings ns
Nora so wonderfully realistic that one
Is forced to understand what lies bark
of that question,.and the pathos of It
and her resolve to go forth and find thi
truth, let truth cost what It may, finds
a resting place In every heart.
"A Doll's House” Is a wonderful crea.,
lion. Henrik Ibsen struck deep at some
of the accepted doctrines of human so
ciety. He sajv the truth and he drove
It home, remorselessly, pitilessly, re
gardless of whom he struck thereby.
Therein lies the force of the drama and
with Nora In such competent keeping
as that of Mtgs Davis, the play becomes
as fascinating a one as wilt be seer,
here this season.
The characters live out there on the
stage. There Is Nora, sweet, loving
lovable, risking all, losing all, and ye
gaining everything. There Is old niv
parent-cursed Dr. Rank. There Is Nil
kronstag fighting to save his children
from the memory of hla sin. There Is
Christine, who, like Nora, has sacrificed
and yet whose sacrifice can not appeal
as does that of Torvald's wife. The
little children flitting across the stage
to their nursery are seen but a few
moments and yet they are remembered
even In the suffering that marks the
last act. Miss Davis' work becomes
real art, and with a strong company In
her support, “A Doll's H<m*«" w ill be
'remembered tu one of the pleasing
events of the season. There will be a
'matinee Tuesday.
FLORENCE DAVIS, IN IB3EN'6 “A DOLL'S HOUSE.”
Miss Davis will be seen as Nora, a role qasayed by almost every
;reat emotional actress of recent years.

William Chatterton Heads
Oast of New Com
pany.
George Ade's quaint comedy, "The
County Chairman," which will be pre
sented at the Bijou next week, Is sure
to delight theater-goers with Its mani
fold attractions. It goes without say
ing that no more salient success has
been accorded a comedy In years, and
the unusual Interest aroused over this
production Is especially gratifying to
the management. An extended analysis
of "The County Chairman” Is unneces
nary—suffice It to say that In atmos
phere, movement and color It sweeps
along In a succession of most laughable
and enjoyable situations until the play
goers fairly revel In truthful and satiri
cal comic episodes. "The County Chair
man" Is essentially a play to Interest
artistic audiences with Its fine touch of
the foibles of human nature, and In
wit, humor and philosophy It has a
flavor peculiar to Itself. It Is the big
gest production of comedy seen here In
years, and the scenic Investiture, to
gether with the great number of people
employed In the plctureeque scenes,
make for a spectacle at once diverting
and -entertaining.
In the third act of this piece the
comedy scene and Intensely dramatic
situations In which’ the principal per
sonages are seen, must be accorded the
warmest praise. . i
Mr. Ado has given the comedy a pre.
tentlous production. William Chatter,
ton Is the central figure In this splen
did comedy, and Clint Ford In a droll
characterization of Sassafras, the col
ored voter, Is the source of much
amusement and other members of this
remarkable cast make an assembly of
unusual strength and ability.

WALLS OF
Orpheum to Bright Thanks
giving For Federal
Convicts.
Sunshine behind grim walls, a
glimpse of merriment, a bit of music
to the men and women behind prison
bars—thai Is what 1* promised to the
convicts of the Federal prison for next
Thursday, a real Thanksgiving day for
those who have little to make the day
more than an empty word.
Manager Ben Kalin, of the Orpheum
Theater, and Warden Moyer, of the
great prison, arranged It. It followed
a conversation between the two a day
or so ago.
"It's a pity those poor fellows behind
the walls can't hear a lilt of music
now and then," remarked Mr. Kahn,
''Well, you can’t have them as your
guests," returned the warden. “But
you might bring your theater to them.'
"That's a go," answered the manager
of the Orpheum. "Give me an hour
two on Thanksgiving morning, and
hall big enough to hold them, and I’ll
take the vaudeville to the prison.
And so It was agreed, and on
Thanksgiving morning nt 10:30 o'clock
tho queerest vaudeville performance
ever given will bo presented ot the
prison In the great dining hall, with

Oscar Ftgnmn has renounced musi

under the management nf R A. Well
In the farcical comedy, “The Lightning
Conductor,” adapted from the novel of
the same name by Hurry D. Smith.
The charm of such a production nnd
the assurance of a splendid support
ing company should fill the Grand
Wednesday antf Thanksgiving to over
flowing when -the play Is presented In
this city for three performances. The
story deals with the Incidents of an ml
tomohlle tour through France by j
charming and rich young American
woman In company with her aunt.
Through various accidents to their car
they are forced to accent the services
ii gallant young Englishman, who
assumes the character of u chauffeur
In order to be of service to thorn. The
rest may be easily Imagined. The
working out of the story Is Immensely
interesting. Mr. Figman In the role of

The attraction at the Grand Friday
and Saturday will be Thomas Jefferson,
In his delightful rendition of Ttlp Van
Winkle." This will be Thomas Jeffer
son’s second engagement here In the
famous old romance of the Catskills.
The play is one In which the human
heart Is deliciously involved and the
laugh and the tear are the Jolly com
panions that lend from scene to scene
to the end of the very last act. It Is
clean, happy and wholesome, but with
the quaint humor and splendid art of
Thomas Jeffernon’. This art Is the
quintessence of years of conscientious
and skillful stage work, during which
Mr. Jefferson devoted bis genius. Lo
cal theater-goers, who will again have
an opportunity of seeing Thomas Jef
ferson as Rip during hi* engagement
at the Grand, will witness the beauties
of his acting and will understand and
appreciate It all. His ha < been a bril-
*lant career behind the footlights.

FEARS DELAY IN
NEXT THAW TRIAL
New York. Nov. 23,—Martln W. LU-
tieton, chief counsel for Hary K. Thaw,
fears further delay on the second trial,
slated for December 2. He says:
"I have been reliably .informed that
the order which the district attorney
obtained from Justice Dowling for the
drawing of a special panel has not
been entered and that It is not the in
tentton to enter the order."
New Jap Consul.
Mexico City, Nov. 23.—Chenosuk
Yadn, charge d'affaires of the Japa
nese legation In this capital, has been
appointed Japanese consul at Vancou
ver, JB. C. He will leave for his new
post early In December.
Will Elect Justice.
In response s to a petition filed in his
offlee several days ago, Ordinary John
R, Wilkinson has called an election for
December 4 for the election of a justice
of the peace to Succeed Judge A. J.
Shirley, resigned. The election will be
held in district 1348.
Success not only crowns it, but he has
the rare satisfaction bf knowing that
he Is perpetuating the work of hla
father, Joseph Jefferson, who added to
the gladness and gayety of the nation
without the shadows of offense to the
purest minded person among the mil
lions of people to whom he played. It
Is a pleasure to be one of those who
have seen Mr. Jefferson's Rip, for the
mere remembrance of the enjoyment
which this Inimitable characterization
gave is sufficient to make one feel hap
py and delighted with life.

I have no personal desire to be the Re

"I want to sec a delegation from the

ors of Atlanta, that body of men who,
In pursuit of their dally vocation, are
the bane of the life of the high and
low, and who, like death, come to all
alike, are preparing to organise them
selves for mutual protection and thus
move In solid phalanx upon their nat
ural foe*.
The application for a charter for the
new organisation under the name of
"The Independent Order of Collect'
ore." was filed In superior court Fri
day afternoon by Attorney Thomas H.
Goodwin, representing the Incorpora
tors. who are J. A. Crumby, E. E. Lacy
nnd R. F. Jordan. The order will have
no capital stock, since It is not or
ganized for pecuniary gain to Its mem
bers.
"We have organised for the purpose
f being of mutual assistance to each
other In our business of collecting
bills.” said one of the Incorporators.
'•From time Immemorial the bill col
lector has been buffeted about by
storms and tempests of various kinds
and In all land* has come to be looked
upon as mankind's natural enemy. It
will be our purpose to uproot this Idea
and In Its stead supplant a firm con
viction that while we may constitute
a necessary evil, yet It la not of such
a nature a*- to demand suppression
with a shotgun or by burning at the
stake.
"Seriously," he continued, "the col
lectors Of the city, to the number of
perhaps a hundred, have decided to
organise an order of a social nature, to
assist each other In locating lost ac
counts, and for othsr purposes of in

dlence arid with the grim walls of the
prison echoing the gongs from the min
iature stage.
Aurle Dagwell, "The Georgia Rose,”
will sing to tho shut-in ones the songs
of long ago, the ballads tho silent lis
teners knew when life meant something
more to them than a succession of days
of work and nights of rest, with never
a break In the deadly round. She will
sing to them the songs their mothers
used to hum at their cradles, the old
airs whose beauty has never died. Then
Lee Fung Foo, tho Chinese baritone,
will give them the songs of the Orient,
nnd perhaps n ditty or two from Broad
way. The Pendleton*, who play 'many
Instruments, will tnke their complete
act to the prison and do their best to
make the day a memorable one, and
the two Krnmera, dainty eoubreltee.
will ehower their very best fun and
frolic upon their strange audience.
It should be something worth whtlo
to "the poor devils" who are shut out
from so much that goes to make the
world outside bright and happy. Many
of them have hardly heard of vaude
ville—the word will be new In itself to
many, for some of the men nnd women
behind tho bars have known nothing
beyond their prison walls for sp many
years that a new field of amusement
has sprung up since they left the sun
shine for the shadow. Truly, their
Thanksgiving this year should be one
worth the memor
THOMAS JEFFERSON.
He will play “Rip Van Winkle,”
In which hts father appeared for
years.
The Thanksgiving week bill at tht
Orpheum looks very good, and even
better than that which closes this week,
for vaudeville at the Orpheum Is grow
ing as rapidly In quality aa In pation-
age, and the latter Indicates the need
of a "Standing Room Only” sign before
many weeks.
The one best bet at the Orpheum
next week Is Charles R. Sweet, the fa-
mous "burglar comedian," who climb*
Into a house at midnight and makes
music out of everything from the baby
carriage to the coal scuttle. He has
been the headliner in Eastern housee.
Lee Tung Foo. the Chinese baritone,
who was a feature at Hammersteln's
New York roof garden last summer,
will sing at the Orpheum next week,
ond the Rlgoletta Brothers, the sen
sational European acrobats, will offer
new turn.
Aurle Dagwell, the Georgia Ross, the
girl who sings the old songs, should
prove a delight to Southerners, for she
wears tho costume of the "girl of '61,'
and sings the ballads of wor-tlme. She
Is a Georgia girl who has won her way
Into vaudeville and reached the top
The grotesque Randolphs, the Pen
dletons, In a refined musical act: the
Kramers, two eccentric and dainty
comediennes, and the moving pictures
will complete tho bill.
Amateur nights, the Inauguration of
which proved sq popular Friday night,
will be continued, as there are many
vaudeville aspirants In Atlanta, and the
public has welcomed the Innovation.
The amateurs will have their chance
every Friday night after the regular
bill Is presented.
The Orpheum will continue Its policy
of admitting free to the matinees chil

with paid tickets, and extends a spe

Association, which has been holding a
four days' convention In this city In
conjunction with ths National Munici

speak In behalf of the northwestern
lumbermen In their fight against the
Hill and Harrtman roads, protesting
against the 10-cent advance In freight
rates on lumber and shingles,!.
The Georgian Is sorry to have to an'
nounce that the list of competing enn'
dtdates will not appear until some time
ths fore part of the comljig week, as
the votes came In too fast for. the con
test manager, and they could not han
dle them so that all would appear to
day, so we thought It best to leave all
until next week rather than announce
part today and the balance next week.
However, this will not make any differ
ence, os the names will appear about
Tuesday or Wednesday and all the
candidates' names will appear together
with the number of votes accorded
each.
Now I# the time for you to get Into
the race, for there is still plenty of
room, as In districts seven «hd nine
there are a very few candidates, and
If you are Interested In winning one of
tho fine prises get busy now and Hee
how many votes you can get before the
announcement Is made Tuesday.
Names Announced Tuesday.
The names of the candidates will be
announced next Tuesday, and If you
havo not entered tho race be sure and
do so by that time or before. Votes for
the first announcement will be received
up to Monday night at 8 o’clock, so If
you have any votes tnht you want to
appear be sure and get them In before
that hour, or they will not be counted
on the first announcement. Now la the .
time to get busy, as a good start Is half ® ne seems to say that they have the
ten years. The Cox College ha* forty-
two Kingsbury pianos; some of them
are.ten years old, or at least the college
has been using them for the past ten
years, and we are told by the Cox Col
lege that the pianos are still In the best
of shape and look aa though they were
new. Now, show me the lady that would
not like to have one nf the pianos.
The Colleges.
There ar* thirty scholarships to the
best schools In the state and among
the scholarships you will find that there
are five scholarships to the Kllndworth
Conservatory of Music of Atlanta,
which Is not only one of the best in
the South, but It has the reputation of
being as good as most of tho Eastern
colleges, and better than the average
college. The fact that the conserva
tory Is under tho personal direction of
Professor Kurt Mueller gives the as
surance that you will recelvo the beat
training possible If you win one of the
scholarships. To the people of Atlanta
the Kllndworth School needs no Intro
duction, as everyone knows that it Is
beyond a doubt the best school of its
kind In this section of the country. The
Georgian congratulates anyone who is
lucky enough to win one of the scholar
ships to this famous Institution.
There I* no doubt but that everyone
Is Interested In a business course, e«-
peclally when It Is given to the beat
business college In tne South. There
are schools and schools, and yet every-
the battle, and If you get busy at the
start you can easily win one of the fine
prises that we are offering. It fs not
hard to win. and If you nre Interested
at all we can show you where you nre
assured of winning one ot the fine
prises. As you nre no doubt aware,
there are three prizes for each and
every one of the districts, and If you
are Interested nt all you can easily win
some one of the fine prises, and surely
they are well worth any effort that you
may have to put forth to win any one of
them. Just think, there are ten Kings
bury pianos, each worth $350, and you
can win one of them. The pianos are
fully guaranteed by the Cable Plano
Company, and they have given The
Georgian a written guarantee that the
pianos will last, and they further state
that they will guarantee the pianos for

the only genuine Graham shorthand
course, and In addition teaches a gen

the best facilities for teaching book
keeping, and they also have a mors

South. The Georgian has been lucky
enough to secure twenty scholarships
from this famous college and It assures
everyone who wins one of the scholar
ships that they will receive the beet
training possible and at the same time
they will receive a course that Is good
to th - for life. You do not J u,t re
