ROSTOCK AICBNA—Animal ehnw, after noon ond evening at Ponce DeLeon. “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. COMESJO BIJOU 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.

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 position os to’the presidency and de- men and women In stripes for the au- I 00000000000000000000000000 3 MANTELL'S CHRONOLOGY.

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.

O o o OOOOQ&OQOOQChZ&OOPOOOOOOOOO 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. “AS BILL SAYS.” Mr. Chatterton has the role of Jim Heckler this season. 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.

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.

COLLECTORS FORM A SOLID PHALANX DR. E. E. BRAGG, OSTEOPATH ard PHYSICIAN and SUBGEON. Office .524-25fceiitury Building, Hours: 9 to 5—Bell rhone. Get ready to pay. The bill collect 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 terest to collector*." - 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 dren accompanied by elder persons with paid tickets, and extends a spe cial Invitation to children of the pub lic schools. The acts offered are al ways clean and refined and Managers Weber and Rush are anxious for the ladles and children to consider tha Or- pheum their own especial theater. IMPOSSIBLE TO ANNOUNCE LIST.

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.

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.
