Casino Will Continue Indefinitely—Tim Murphy Coming. born’s orchestra and the Haverly choir are still with the company. and seats for succeeding performances may then be secured. The opening bill of the post season offers an attractive appearance. The Three Coates, who ore finishing their vaudeville career, prior to Joining new musical comedy production, will be a special feature. Their act offers something out of the ordinary and has been very successful. The well-known Wells, Dunne and Harlan pair, Johnny Johnson and Bob Harty will play their second engagement at the Casino this season, offering an entirely new series of songs. The singing comedians scored a popular hit some weeks ago at the Casino. Mildred Flora, the comedienne who has appeared at the Grand and Casino before, will contribute one otj the com edy features of the bill.

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 porter as he Is, not as" playwrights have pictured him, and If 'The Stolen Story” on the stage Is as good as the collection of sketches from which It was built Into a play It Is well wotl.i going to see, especially as Dorothy Tennant, who made such a lovable "College Widow,” Is In a leading part. MAYOR M’CLELLAN TO FIGHT FOR JEROME FOR GOVERNOR By Private Leased Wire. Parts, Sept. 1.—After eleven weeks' vacation In Europe, Mayor George B.

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 eleytrle fan, operated by a big motor, blows a current over a ton of Ice and keeps the temperature down to comfortable point, while numerous smaller fans are scattered through the house. The big fan has been shut down frequently because It lowered the temperature to an uncomfortable de gree. The fifth season of the Bijou will continue under the former manage ment. Jake Wells, director of the Bijou circuit of Southern theaters, Is at the 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 sellers 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 hnve 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. Tim Murphy Coming. Tim Murphy, always 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 a Saturday matinee In "Old Innocence,” a comedy In which he appeared several seasons ago, 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. The two have roles In which their individual talents are well displayed, that of Old Innocence being especially ndnpted to Mr. Murphy's eccentric manner. The comedy was greeted with success on Its 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. "'aahlngton, Sept 1.—The Southern Railway Company la named defendant ™ a *ult for 825,000 alleged damages, ln >he district supreme court by Leuls A. Kaiser, lieutenant commander, ’ 8.

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 Huss, a basso profundo, and Harry Parkerson, a baritone, whose voice has been pop ular In light opera, will contribute some of the musical numbers.

"The County Fair. 1 Some of you will remember that about fifteen years ago you saw horse race on the stage, and that you talked about It for weeks afterwards. There were throe horses, you remem ber, but Cold Molasses was the best, and won by a neck after a mile race across the stage, which seemed as natural as the real thing, even though the thoroughbreds never got past the proscenium arch. You may see the same race again If you will visit the Grand Saturdny afternoon or night.* "The County Fair" Is back again. with old Nell Burgess, the author and creator of the play, at Its head. If he Is as funny os he used to be—but they say he Is, and there Is no reason why he shouldn’t be, for ho Is of the kind that years only mellow and sweeten. An4 "The County Fair" Is Just that kind of play—one of those old farm and mother dramas that make you smile and then laugh until you find yourself winking hard to keep the tears from Intruding themselves where they are 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, when 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 play ever gave. Mr. Burgess will play his old role of Aunt Abtjy and the famous race scene will be given with the Improved apparatus thft 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 he continued until further orders. This order means that the popular summer play house wilt continue oper ations with vaudeville for attractions for some time, and that for the first time in the history of the Bijou and Casino both play houses under the same management will be run ln prac tical opposition to each other. The arrangement for the sale of seats will be changed. Seats can not be secured In the city, but may be en gaged by 'phone, by using Bell 'phone 288 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 he kept open from 7:45 o'clock until 9:30 o'clock each night. 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 furs 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 Crons has begun his season In 'The Price of Money," a comedy by Alfred Sutro, which has Just opened at the Oarrlck In New York. Margaret Dale and Walter Hitchcock are with the company. 'Hapy" Ward, of the old Ward and Yokes combination, has hit upon a hap py title In "Not Yet But Soon,” which ic calls a "komedy kackle ln two lays." Lucy Daly Is with him as of yore. They "tried It on the dog' at Lynn, Miss., Wednesday night and the peo- pie 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 vaudevllls skit, but It Is seldom that a vaudeville sketch pure and simple grows Into a full grown comedy. But ons Instance of this Is "The Ham Tree." In which McIntyre and Heath appeared last sea son, and another Is 'The Chorus Lady," In which Rose Stahl opens at the Savoy n New York Saturday. 'The Chorua Lady" waa one of the brightest bits on the vaudeville stage last season, and when Miss Stahl took It to London the I-ondoners thought her slang waa quite the cleverest thing that had come from America.' It has grown Into a full fledged musical comsdy now and Rose Stahl Is a star in big letters. John Drew will begin his season at the Empire In New York In a new comedy, "His House In Order." Dion Bouclcault Is directing the rehearsals and the cast Includes Margaret Illlng- ton and a company equally as good as those with which Mr. Frohman has supplied his favorite star In the pest. - Eleanor Robson, whose "Merely Mary Ann” was the sweetest stage portrait seen In the South last season, tas 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- wlll play. "Nurae Marjorie," as soon as she arrives In America. Sam Jones Tabernacle Meetings, Carters- ville, Ga. On ceptemper 15th to 23rd. Inclu sive, the Western and Atlantic rail road will sell tickets from Atlanta- Dalton and intermediate stations, to Cartersvtlle. at rate of one fare for the round trip. Sam Jones will be assisted by Evangelist Oliver and other ministers of renown. Prof. E. O. Excell will have charge of u.3 music, and other gospel singers of note will attend. Three servlcee each day, 10:30 a. m.. 3:00 p. m. and 8:00 p. m„ and the people of Cartersvllle will welcome the great crowds with the same hos pitality they have always shown. CHA8. E. HARMAN, Gen. Pass. Agent. SUPERINTEND AT TRINITY Monday night, next, nt 7:30 o'clock, will bo held at Trinity Methodist church the first session of the superin tendents' rally, which has been arrang ed under the auspices of the North Georgia conference.

Va, Sept. 1.—At FlaJ Top, Tony Plzelll, Italian gang fore man In the mines here, was shot and Instantly killed by Garl I.ugl. with whom he was In love.

Washington, Sept. 1—Edward Young, of New Orleans, who has Just been nominated by the Republicans of that city to contest the congressional elec tion In the First district, with Adolph Mayer, at the Raleigh, expressed the opinion that President Roosevelt was the only Republican who could enter the campaign of 1908 with any cer tainty of defeating Bryan. If the convention will not see the wisdom of this policy, then he believes the sentiment of the Republicans of the South would favor the selection of some good, conservative business man. "If there Is one business man In this country, who stands close to the Bouth by reason of the good he has done for them," said Mr. Young, "that man Is Stujrvesant Fish, president of the Il linois Central Railroad, and If he were nominated, thousands of Democrats In the South would vole the Republican ticket. It Is my Judgment that Mr. Fish could carry one or two of the Southern states and break the Demo cratic solid vote In that soetton of the country.” , NEGRO QUESTION WILL BE AN ISSUE Specie! to The Georgian. Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 1.—Forgetting the bitterness and the pangs of defeat, forgiving' those who defeated him for re-election to the office of United States senator, Hon. Edward Ward Carmack has thrown personal feelings aside and has rushed to the breach to give battle In behalf of the Democratic party In Tennessee. The Tennessee senator has been the first to volunteer his services as a speaker to the Democratic state executive committee, anil It Is needless to say that the offer will be accepted post haste. In the recent bitter campaign for governor and In the one for ITnlted States senator two combinations lined up agnlnst each other, the forces of Governor Cox and Senator Carmack being pitted against a combination cohiposed of General M. R. Patterson and Governor Bob Taylor. The two latter won. Cox has never forgiven Patterson for the hard things the lat ter said about him on the stump and refuses to get ln the band wagon. The negro question Is most acute In the South at present and It Is expected to play a most Important part In the gubernatorial fight between General M. IL Patterson,' the Democratic nominee, and General II. Clay Evans, the Re publican nominee.

Clark, of the Order of Uallway Conductor*, as a members of the Interstate commerce com mission, the official Journal of tbo order says: “While regretting to see ISrotber Clark leave his position as executive bond of the order, we nevertheless appreciate the fact that the position to which he has t»ccu called holds opportunities for greater service and a much larger flelil of action which be conld not well decline. Particu larly pleasing Is It to know that the ap pointment came unsolicited, and that It Is without political significance.” The report presented by Secretary-Treas urer Bra iu wood to the recent convention of the International Typographical union at Colorado Springs showed that the finan cial transactions (or the year Jnst ended of securing competent negro porters for Its ears. 8ome of tho officials of tbo company have suggested that "tho ln?st way to overcome this difficulty would be to start a training school for porters, and after a course In thnt Institution work them on the cars at halt pay until they demonstrate their efficiency for tbo work.” GEORGIA NEWS IN PARAGRAPS Negro Witt be Executed.
