Scene from “Two Women," in which Mr*. Leslie Carter, famous actress, appears at the Grand Tuesday and
Wednesday.
At the Atlanta.
To the’characterlxatlons of Mlaa Isa

day and Saturday at the Atlanta thea
ter that of "Glad," a street waif of
London, in Frances Hodgson Burnett’s
play, "The Dawn of a Tomorrow,” a
striking drama that has all season runs
In New York and London to Its credit.
In "Glad," Mrs. Burnett has drawn a
character of simple, naive, and charm
ing qualities that remind one of a
Ktmngo mixture of Dickens, a touch of
Barrio, and the best of the authoress
herself. In writing ! hcr play, more
over, Mrs. Burnett has taken ndvantage i
of the enormous strides In playwriting;
since the day of her most famous sue-1
cess, and has. In fact, taken a step be- i
vond most of her contemporaries Ini
presenting thru mediums quite permls-1
slblo to the drama, that Is. by means
of dramatic action Itself, a great deal •
that will prove appealing to those who,
gn to the theater ready to receive from i
it something more than mere romance
and theatrical fllppery. She has filled
lmr play with Joyous philosophy, of
which the earnest, sincere little waif
Is tlio embodiment, a philosophy of op
timism. thoroughly In key with thej
movements of modern thought. She:
linn vitalised hor play with that newj
prime essential to good and success
ful drama, the presence of Ideas, that
sho haa presented these Ideas at abso
lutely no sacrifice of the dramatic
values of her play. Tn other words, she
h:m found a way to convey her mes
sage without usurping the field of the
preacher or lecturer. She haa written
n play for Miss Lowo that Is stirring,
tense and Interesting at all times, full
of human comedy, abounding In touches
of supremo pathos, each touched with
that true, sincere ring for which she
It noted, and, notwithstanding all Its
merits from a dramatic point of view,
i rtnbued with a serlmis theme, such as
the press and public have cried for.
Messrs. Lleblcr & Co.’s production Is
most adequate, and the company ranks
among the strongest of the present sea
son. Beats are now selling.
At the Grand.
The friends of Mrs. Leslie Carter
will gather undoubtedly In large num
bers at the Grand Tuesday and Wed
nesday to witness this gifted actress
and greet her with cordiality In her
new play, revealed for the first time
last season, and entitled ’Two Wom
en.”
"Two Women” la by the Infatlgable
Hu pert Hughes, who derived hla In
spiration for the work thru an Italian
Playwright. Mr. Hughes, from all ac
counts. Jias amplified the original, text
to suit the exacting public of this
country. Its theme le the striking
Physical resemblance between two.
women, different In every trait of char-
acter. One, a seamstress, dies In the
first act, from pneumonia. The other
woman Is a Parlslcnne ballet dancer.
The meeting between the husband of
the deceased wife and the ballet dancer
Kl pi "tight about by an tntlmato friend,
who. In a letter to the husband, casual
ly mentioned the resemblance of a
woman he had seen in Parts with’hla
friend’s wife.
As the husband Is painting a portrait
of hla wife from memory, he sees the
opportunity of having this living like
ness of his wife’s sit for the latter’s
portrait. He meets the woman and
she aonsents to the sittings. Love
springs up between the two, sanctify
ing the Woman completely. The wom
en naturally reforms and the play
ends, as the two are about to be mar
ried.
This Is the more thread of the nar
rative. Mr. Hughes, It Is said, has
made his drama as moving and pic
turesque as any author could who at-
tempted-to write a play for Mrs. Car
ter. because she ts a whole school of
dramatists In herself. Mr. Hughes has
► applied some sprightly lines to the
text of his play, which has interested
audiences wherever It has been played.
The scenic. Investiture Is as complete
as any production In which Mrs, Car
ter has been seen, lncludlng-that mam
moth prodygflon, "Du Barry.” The
M-c-na at the Bal Tabarin in Paris Is a
picture of life tn all Its gayety as pre
sented at one of- the most celebrated
after-theater places tn the French me
tropolis. In this scene there Is much to
hold the attention of an audience. Mrs
Carter's big acting scene comes In the
fourth act, and here she is said tn
arouse her audiences to the point of
great enthusiasm. Mra Carter will bo

Tho bill at the Forayth Is one of va

splendid cast and the play Is a very In

are excellent and the heart Interest
abounds plentifully throughout the four

The story deals with a motherless child,
a drunken anil brutal father (who turns
out not to be her father at all), a schem

love, hut a distinct streak of cowardice

LOANS FOR UNFORTUNATE
NOT ENOUGH FOR DEMAND
The necessity of an Institution offer
ing relief to small borrowers from the
usury of money lenders haa been prov
ed by the experience of the Allnnta
Loan anil Savings Company.
Since Its organtxatlon six months ago
this company has made 501 loans
amounting to $79,300, and has received
•69 applications for loans amounting
to 6191,508.
The chief difficulty thp company ex
periences Is In furnishing loans enough
to supply all the needy and deserving
borrowers that apply for aid.
In Fulton county there are probably
15.000 wage-earners who ore driven
each year Into debt by misfortune. For
the most part they seek relief from the
money lenders, where usury adds to
debt and Increases their distress.
Of this 15,000. practically every one
arrives at such need that he must bor
row from some source. Heretofore,
there has been no one to whom the
unfortunate wage-earner could apply
except to the money-lender. No actual
relief has anywhere been offered to
him, and the result has been the serious
Increase of hla dlstra* that often has
driven men and women to despair and
hopelessness.
Many of those who make application
oak for aid In such extremity that they
believe themselves lost, unless they get
help, and oftentimes are. They ore
pressed on ever}’ side by debt and mis
fortune, without encouragement of hope
or opporeunlty offered to them. They
are at a critical period when they de
spair and see no need of further effort.
They are almost lost to hope, but relief
from their debts and a new opportuntty
glves them new life and lifts them from
despair Into Industrious and valuable
cltlsens.
Wage-earners of every cloas are now
borrowing from the Atlanta Loan and
Savings Cnm|>an.v. They Include every
type und are alike principally-in thut
each Is unfortunuto.
Since the company began business It
lias found that all loans It has mnde
have been repayed promptly. Of the
601 borrowers, only 26 are behind In
their payments, und this small number
Is but one week’s payment In arrear.
