AMUSEMENTS.
THE GBAXD—Dark.
THE BIJOC-Tufwlny matinee nnd night.
**A Contented woman."
THE OBPHEtTM—Tuesday matinee and
night, hlgti^lan vtudevllle.
At the Bijou.
The usual Monday night audience
witnessed "A Contented Woman," from
the pen of that premier of American
satirists/- Charles Hoyt, and enjoyed it
—every word. The play was well taken
care of In every part, no one being in
more distinction than another, except
perhaps Charles P. Morrison, as Cut
ting Hints, whose Interpretation of the
lines of his part was Immense.
Nearly everybody is familiar with
the theme of the play, which la “re
form” In politics, and in the present-
day condition of politics the revival of
the play Is peculiarly apropos. “It Is
to laugh” from curtain to curtain.
It's rather an innovation to inter
sperse vaudeville In such a play, but It
Is done this week at the Bijou, and the
stage director gets away with It In
such a subtle way that It does not jar
on the play.
And the vaudeville is about the best
ever seen In Atlanta, especially the clog
dancing of “die klelnle Deutsche
madchen.” the Thompson sisters, who
exhausted themselves long before they
did the audience.
Here all the week, with, besides the
regular matinees, a special Christmas
matinee Wednesday. E. E. G.
At the Orphtum.
The offering for Christmas week at
the Orpheum Is In harmony with all
the jubilant celebration that Is preva
lent at this season of the year. The en
tire bill Is thoroughly good and is
pulled off with vlm nnd vigor. There
was a good house Monday night nnd
this fact seemed to enthuse the actors
and everybody had a good time.
Maybelle Meeker was selected to start
the show. She Is billed as a "Novelty
Contortion Dancer," and is one of the
best In the business. Elsie Hrrvey and
the Field boys are entertaining and
have a stunt that makes one think that
its fifteen minutes snatched from a
minstrel show. “The Three Trouba-
dors" all have good voices and work
well together. "How to Get Rid of a
Mother-in-law.” by Mack, Monroe and
Lawrence, is entertaining. The Laba-
kans and their little dog. whose name
Isn't i»n the program, proved one of
acrobat*, but the do* has It a shade
on them both. At Carleton, “The Skin.
nv Guy," has a laughable monologue
act; Miss Anita Battling has a good
Juggling performance, and the motion
pictures are of a good variety.

By T. C. SHOTWELL.
New York. Dee. 24.—Trading lu the stock
market was quiet thl* morning and of nu
anti-holiday character. This was partly due
/<* the abw.ee of many promlneiit traders
who have left town to spend Christina* and
partly due to the hesitation displayed by
piofessltiimis as to wliut side of the market
take. During Hie first hour of trading
