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 la 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 tho weather god. An electric fan, operated by a big motor, 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. The big fan has been shut down frequently because It lowered the temperature to an uncomfortable de gree. The fifth season of the Bijou wilt 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. DcGIve 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, nnd the same orchestra has been engaged. The Bijou will present a holiday np pearance at the opening performance. Patntera and carpenters have been busv retouching nnd 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. born's orchestra and the Haverly choir are still with the company. Story" on tho stage is as good aa the collection of sketches from which It was built Into a play it Is well wurl i f olng to see, especially as Dorothy 'ennnnt, who made such a lovable “College Widow," Is fn a leading part. Tim Murphy Coming. Tim Murphy, always an early bird on the Southern circuit, will smile once more from the stago of the Grand. He Is booked for next Friday and Satur day night and a Saturday inatlnee 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 adapted 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 thoso In which he'hnd met the warmest welcome. Ills company includes, besides Miss Sherrod, who has the leading woman’s role. Miss Louise Whitfield, Mrs. Aubrey Powell and O. J. Griffin. 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 golmt this week and a number of the better known players bave 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” Word, of the old Ward and Vokes combination, has hit upon a hap py title In "Not Yet But Soon," which he calls a "konfedy kackle In two lays.” Lucy Daly Is with him as of yore. They "tried It on the dog 1 at Lynn, Miss., Wednesday night and the peo ple of Lynn say the new musical com< edy Is simply fine. 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 1* here as well as some new ones. Clifford Van, William Morris nnd Burt Stoddard are among the funmak- ers, while Joseph Gomes and Harry Weaver, the tenors; Calvin Hubs, a basso profundo, and Hartr Parkerson, a baritone, whose voice hhs been pop ular In light opera, will contribute some of the musical numbers.

Some of you will remember that about fifteen years ago you saw' a horse race on the stage, and that you talked about It for weeks afterwards. There were three horses, you remem ber, but Cold Molasses was the best, and won by a neck after a mile race across the stage, which seemed natural as the real thing, even though the thoroughbreds never got past tho proscenium arch. You may see the same race again If you will visit the Grand Saturday afternoon or night. "The County Fair" Is back again, with old Neil Burgess, the* author and creator of the play, at Its head. If he Is as funny as he used to be—but they say he Is, nnd there Is no reason why he shouldn't be, for he is of the kind that years only mellow and sweeten. And "The County Fair" Is Just that kind of play—one of those old farm and mother dramns 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 rolo of Aunt Abby and the famous race scene will be given with the Improved apparatus that came with the revival of the old favorite. Pott 8tason at Casino. General Manager Jake Welts 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 attracllnne 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 In 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 236 north, and such orders will be filled and held until 8:IS o’clock each night. The box office at the park the ater will be kept open from 7:45 o'clock until 9:30 o’clock each night. 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 simple grows Into a full grown comedy. But one Instance of this Is "The Ham Tree,” In which McIntyre and Heath appeared last sea son, nnd nnother la "The Chorus Lady,” In which Bose Stahl open* at the Savoy In New York Saturday. "The Chorun Lady" wae one of the brighteet bite on the vaudeville stage last season, and when Miss Stahl took It to London the Londoners thought her slang wsa quite the cleverest thing that had come from America. • It has grown Into a full fledged musical comedy now and Rose Stahl Is a star In big letters. John Drew will begin hla 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 past. Eleanor Robson, whose "Merely Mary Ann" was the sweetest stage portrait seen In the South laet season, has been spending the summer In France with her mother, Mre. Madge Clark Cook, who created "Mrs. Wlggs of the Cabbage Patch." Miss Robson will begin rehearaals of a new Zang- wlll play, “Nurse Marjorie," as soon as she arrives In America. Sam Jones Tabernacle Meetings, Carters- ville, Ga. On ffeptemper 13th to 23rd. Inclu sive, the Western and Atlantic rail road will sell tickets from Atlanta- Dalton and Intermediate stations, to Cartersvllle. 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 ft.: music, and other gospel singers of note will attend. Three service* each day, 10; *0 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, Gsn. Pass. Agent By Private leased Wire. Hinton, W. Va., Sept. 1—At FlaJ Tpp, Tony Plselll, Italian gang fore man In the mines here, was shot and Instantly killed by Carl Lugl, with whom he was In love. The girl had rejected him In favor of Bob Jackson, a miner, and he plotted with an enemy of Jackson to do away with the suc cessful rival. A forged note was sent to the Lugl woman, signed by Jackson, saying he was done with her. She started out to kill Jackson, because of supposed' faithlessness, but met Pis- elli In the dark and shot him by mis take. Special to The Georgian. Nashville. Tenn., Sept. 1.—Forgetting the bitterness and the pangs of defeat, forgiving those who defeated him f"r re-election to the office of United States- senator, Hon. Edward Wnrd Carmack haa 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 a speaker to the Democratic suite executive committee, and It Is needless to say that the offer will bo accepted post haate. In the recent bitter campaign for governor nnd In the one for United States senator two combinations lined up against each other, the forces of Governor Cox and Senator Carmack being pitted against a combination composed of General M. R. Patterson nnd 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 nnd refuses to get In 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 tin- gubernatorial fight between General M. R. Patterson, the Democratic nominee, and General H. Clay Evans, tho Re publican nominee. -j THINKS STUYVESANT FISH ' IS STRONG IN THE SOUTH By Private Leased Wire. Washington, Sept. 1—Edward Young, of New Orleans, who has Just been nomlnuted by the Republicans of that city to contest the congressional elec tion In the First district, with Adolph Mayer, at the Raleigh, expressed tho 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 aee the wisdom of this policy, then he believe* the sentiment of the Republicans of the South would favor the selection of some good, conservative business man. "U there Is one business man In this country, who stands close to the South by reason of the good he.has done for them," said Mr. Young, "that man la Stuyvesant Fish, president, of the Il linois Central Hallroad, and If he were nominated, thousands of Democrats In the South would vote 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 section of the country." DOOOOOOOO0OOOOOOOOO 0 NOTE8 OF LABOR WORLD.
