Casino Will Continue Indefinitely—Tim Murphy Coming. By DUDLEY GLASS. The Bijou, home of popular-priced comedy, music and melodrama, will throw open Its doors for the new sea son next Monday afternoon, and there will be no dark nights until warm weather comes In 1907. Haverly’s Min strels Is the bill chosen for the opening week, an attraction light enough for hot weather theatergoers. But the managers of the Bijou say that they can defy the weather god. An electric fan, operated by a big mt/tor, blows a current over a ton of Ice and keeps the temperature down to a comfortable point, while numerous smaller fans are scattered through the house. Tho big fan has been shut down frequently because It lowered the temperature to an uncomfortable de gree. Tho fifth Reason of the Bijou will continue under the former manage ment. Jake Wells, director of the Bijou circuit of Southern theaters, Is 1 at tho head of affairs, while H. L. DeGIve and Hugh L. Cardoza are the resident managers. A new face will be seen in the box office. Treasurer Joe Adams having been transferred from the Richmond Bijou to the At lanta house. Harry Downey, one of the most popular ticket Hellers who ever handed out the pasteboards In Atlan ta, will be his assistant.. The old force of ushers, doorkeepers and stage hands will greet their friends again, and the same orchestra has been engaged. The Bijou will present a holiday ap pearance at the opening performance. Painters and carpenters have been busy retouching and repairing and the auditorium will be more attractive than in seasons past. The usual Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday matinees will continue throughout the season, with performances every night In the week. Billy Beard and the rest of Haverly’s merry minstrel crew are too well known to need an introduction to At lanta. The old 'faces will be here as well as some new ones. Clifford Van, William Morris and Burt Stoddard are among the funmak- ers, while Joseph Gomez and Harry Weaver, the tenors; Calvin Hums, a basso profundo, and Harry Parkerson, a baritone, whose voice has been pop ular In light opera, will contribute some of the musical numbers.

Tim Murphy, alwaya an early bird on the Southern circuit, will smile once more from the stage of the Grand. He Is booked for next Friday and Satur day night and n Saturday matinee In ’’Old Innocence," a comedy In which he appeared several seasons ego, and one well fitted to his talents. Of course, Dorothy Sherrod will be the leading woman. ' It would hardly be like the old Tim Murphy without her. Tho two have rolee In which their individual talents nre well displayed, that of Old Innocence being especially adapted to " Mr. Murphy's eccentric manner. The comedy wua greeted with success oh Ha first season, and Mr. Murphy has decided to return to it after a season In parts differing rad ically from those In which he had met the warmest welcome. His company Includes, besides Miss Sherrod, who has the leading woman's role, Miss Louise Whitfield, Mrs. Aubrey Powell and O. J. Griffin. “The County Fair.” Some of you will remember that about fifteen years ago you saw a horso race on the atage, and that you talked about It for weeka afterwards. There were three horses, you remem ber, but Cold Molasses was the beat, and won by a neck after a mile race across the atage, which seemed as natural as the real thing, even though the thoroughbreds never got past tho proscenium arch. You may see the same race ugaln If you will visit the Grand Saturday afternoon or night. "Tho County Fair" Is back again, with old Nell Burgess, the author anil creator of the play, at Its head. If he Is as funny us he used to be—but they say he Is, anil there Is no reason why he shouldn't be, for he la of the kind that years only mellow and sweeten. And "The County Fair” is just that kind of play—one of those old farm nnd mother dramas that make you smile and then laugh until you find yourself winking hard to keep the tears from Intruding themselves where they nre not wanted—Just the country pic ture that made "The Old Homestead” a regular feature of every theater and coined dollars for the authors of Blue Jeans and Shore Acres—the play that brings back your own childhood, wh you broke the sorrel colt and held'off the calves while mother milked. It Is one of those simple stories that leaves you with a sweet taste In your mouth that no problem piny ever gave. Mr. Burgess will play his old role of Aunt Abby and the famous race scene will be given with the Improved apparatus that came with the revival of the old favorite. Post Season at Casino. General Manager Jake Wells has di rected that the Casino at Ponce De leon be continued until further orders. This order means that the popular summer play house will continue oper ations with vaudeville for attractions for some time, and that for the first time In the history of the Bijou and Caalno both play houses under the same management will be run In prac tical opposition to each other. The arrangement for the sale of cents will be changed. Seats can not be secured In the r|ty, hut may be en gaged by 'phone, by using Bell 'phone 236 north, and such orders will be filled and held until 8:15 o'clock each night. The box office at the park the ater will be kept open from 7:65 o'clock until 9:20 o'clock each night. and sents for succeeding performances may then be secured. The opening bill of the post season offers an attractive appearance. Tho Three Coates, who are finishing their vaudeville career, prior to joining new musical comedy production, will be a special feature. Their act offers something out of the ordinary nnd has been very successful. The well-known Wells, Dunne and Harlan pair, Johnny Johnson and Bob Harty wilt play thelr aecond engagement at the Casino this season, offering an entirely new series of aonga. The singing comedians scored a popular hit some weeks ago at the Caalno. Mildred Flora, the comedienne who has appeared at the Grand and Casino before, will contribute one of the com edy features of the bill. The Banks- Breazeale Duo, pretty girls, will appear In n musical specialty. These young women are recruits In vaudeville. There will be other acta, Including the Cnm- eragraph, with a new aeries of motion pictures. With Plays and Players. Jesse Lynch Williams' play, "The Stolen Story,” which was given Its first production in Chicago this week, scored a success and according to the critics Is destined to continue for a long run In the larger cities. Perhaps the critics were lenient because Williams Is a real newspaper man and writes a real news paper story. The play presents the re- S orter as he Is, not as playwrights ave pictured him, and If 'The Stolen Story" on the stage Is as good as the collection of sketches from which It was built Into n play It Is well wotl.t going to see, especially as Dorothy Tennant, who made such a lovable “College Widow,” Is In a leading part. An August sun does not seem to pre vent New York theaters from drawing audiences, and the production of new plays Is beginning as though fura and overcoats were in order Instead of straw hats and palm leaf fans. Thirty- nine play houses, Including the more Important roof gardens, were going this week and a number of the better known players have taken up work for the season. . William Crane has begun hla season In "The Price of Money,"-a comedy by Alfred Sutro, which has just opened at the Garrick In New York. Margaret Dale and Walter Hitchcock are with the company. "Hapy" Ward, of the old Ward and Vokes combination, has hit upon a hap py title In "Not Yet But Soon," which he calis a "komedy kockle In two lays." Lucy Daly Is with him as of yore. They “tried It on the dog' at Lynn, Miss., Wednesday night nnd the peo ple of Lynn say the new musical com edy is simply fine. Many a bright bit In a play has been, stolen to make a successful vaudeville skit, but It Is seldom that a vaudeville sketch pure and almple grows Into a full grown comedy. But one Instance of thla Is "The Ham Tree," In which McIntyre and Heath appeared laat sea son, nnd another la 'The Chorus Lady," In which Rose Stahl opens at the Savoy In New York Saturday. "The Chorus Lady" was one of the brightest bits on the vaudeville stage last season, and when Miss Stahl took It to London the Londoners thought her slnng was quite the cleverest thing that had come from America. It has grown Into a full fledged musical comsdy now and Rose Stahl la a star In big letters. John Drew will begin his season at the Empire In New York In a new comedy, "Hla House In Order." Dion Bouclcnult Is directing the rehearsals and the cast Includes Margaret Illlng- ton and a company'equally os good as those with which Mr. Frohman has supplied his favorite atar In the past. Eleanor Robson, whose "Merely Mari' Ann" was the sweetest stage portrait seen In the South last season, has been spending the summer In France with her mother, Mrs. Madge Clark Cook, who created "Mrs. Wlggs of the Cabbage Patch." Miss Robson will begin rehearsals of a new Zang- uill play, "Nurse Marjorie," • as soon as she arrives In America. MAYOR M'CLELLAN TO FIGHT FOR JEROME FOR GOVERNOR By Private Leased Wire. Paris.

Nashville, Tenn., Sept. L—Forgetting the bitterness and tho pangs of defeat, forgiving those who defeated him for re-election to the office of United States senator, Hon.
