PIE GREAT SALECONTINUES
A
four Days Last Week Was a Record Breaker on Clos
ing Out Goods.
OUR GRAND CLOSING OUT SAI F.
/
Ifo More China and Glassware for the King Hardware
People.
As is perfectly well known all lar-e dealers often buy goods
,lx months in advance, and that has been the case with us to quitj
$ Jsrm’ extent, and still we are making the same great reductions
on all this new stuff that we are daily opening up and adding to
the china and Crockery department.
Last week we sold hundreds and hundreds of bills and in nearly
every instance we sold to ladies who are judges of this class goods,
and the reason why we mention this is to prove that we are giving
the big reductions that are being daily advertised.
Don't know whether we can finish up this week or not, but
irrnild be very glad to do so. There is one thing sure—if prices will
help it along any then on next Saturday night we won’t have any
pent amount of stock left.
Why don’t you buy one of those beautiful hall lamps! They
nre not only serviceable but ornamental. I
Please bear in miud that every piece of goods in this depart
meat has got to go—aijd everything is marked all the way from
2,") to 50 per cent reduction. To close out this department we can
better afford to make big sacrifices and wind it tip rather than
make slight cuts and run on week after week in the perfection
of a wind-up.
Why don't you go through our odds and ends! We have hun
dreds of little things that cost more in Japan and Germany than
we are asking you right here in Atlanta.
Ir. dinner ware—open stock—or in sets we are pleasing every
body—the prices placed on therfe things certainly sell the goods.
Don't wait until the things are picked over further; come now
and get the pick of what is left.

“Coming Thro’ the Rye,”
'Coming Thro’ the Rye" will enter
tain patrons of the Grand Monday
night and Tuesday matinee and night.
Tho Lexington Herald had the fol
lowing to say of the attraction:
o performances of a musical
comedy called 'Coming Thro' the Rye,’
were given In the Lexington opera
house. The entertainment, had been
announced In a way which bore the
thumb-marks of honesty and sincerity
and two splendid audiences resulted.
The theater-goers enjoyed the show
Immensely because It was distinctly
meritorious In every particular.
“The comedy was bright, clean and
wholesome; the music was tuneful,
Jingling and decidedly catchy; the
stage settings were massive, beautiful
and realistic; the costumes were ar
tistic. harmonious In coloring and ob
viously expensive, and the presenting
company, which numbered upward of
80 people, contained comedians, singers
and dancers ct tho highest degree of
talent. Prom the rise to the final fall
of the curtain there was not a moment
In which the auditors were not Intense
ly Interested.
“Unmistakably hearty applause and
Immoderate laughter characterised the
Impression which the entertainment
made upon the spectators. It was all
good; It \yas all enlivening; It was all
of the kind of diversion which rational,
exacting people desire when they pay
the highest price for theatrical enter
tainment."
At th* Bijou.
A young bride’s struggles In a sea of
doubt against the suspicions of an un
compromising husband and the perse
cutions of relentless enemies, Is what
forms the foundation of the emotional
drama, "A Wife's Secret," which Spen
cer and Abom have been presenting
for over two years with success, and
which will be seen at the Bijou all this
week.
This powerful play of human emo
lions, full of tender heart Interest,
spiced with Irresistible bursts of com
edy, genuine pathos and thrilling scenes
and dramatic situations, has to Its
credit a record of hearty approval and
gratifying financial resuits everywhere
It has appeared, and has proven Itself
one of tho most potent drawing attrac
tions of Its kind seen In recent years.
Its main strength lies in Its Interesting
and unhackneyed plot, novel develop
ments and original story, entirely new
to the stage. It ha* many Interesting
characters, portrayed by a carefully se
lected cast of melodramatic favorites,
and the scenic equipment Is on the
same pretentious scale as the lost two
seasons.
Murray and Mack.
For beauty, elegance and charm, the
production that Murray and Mack of
fer In their successful muslchl farce,
"Around tho Town," to appear at the
Grand next Wednesday and Thursday,
will undoubtedly prove to be one of the
best comedies with a musical embel
lishment to be seen In this city this
coming season. The ensembles, handled
by one of the most capable choruses
that have supported these well-known
comedians, are moat conducive to the
success of this comedy, and In the mat
ter of stage grandeur and scenic equip
ment, everything Is carried In Its en
tirety, leaving nothing to be desired,
even by the moat fastidious play-goef

‘•There dreams a pipe-dreamer—1st
him dream!" As ths twentlsth century
looked down upon President Arktlght,
of ths Georgia Etlte Carrying Com
pany, the words of the great Bonaparte
sounded In his ear as ths rumble of a
distant drum.
"Tho voice of tho people Is as treach
erous as ths Democratic mule when
ticketed by a silver spur,” he quoted
from The Commoner, “always ready to
put up a kick,” and he turned again to
the startling string of statistical state
ments prepared by the men behind the
cars’ '
"Car No. 21,” read tho report on
which his eye fell, "while traversing
eight blocks of unpaved Peachtree be
tween the hours of 7:80 and 10:18 a. nt.,
twenty-one male passengers climbed
aboard. After being shown the sign
destined to bust the tobacco trust, six
of this number again took their lives In
their hands by attempting to recross
the cavernous thoroughfare. Eleven
of those who decided to stick It out
were made to change their seats. Eight
of this latter number being thrown
bodily forward with shocking rapidity
by the kind co-operation of the motor-
man. Four^showed fight. Casualties:
And so forth.
Then President Arktlght, having said
‘h’m," drew up special examination
No. 1, to be stood by all conductors of
the Elite Carrying Company and all
applicant* for jobs. Hero Is a rough
draft of the first paper:
"If a car is going at the rate of 30
miles an hour and a passenger attempts
to sit In the second, seat from ths back,
how far forward will be land If the
car jumps the track? If the motorman
stops suddenly ? If the car runs Into a
telegraph pole?
"If by chance none of these three oc
currences happen, how w ould you throw
him forward without Injuring him suf
ficiently for damages?
"If a man smoking a 'thres-for' take
a seat In the center of the’car, would
you tell him to desist by approaching
'rom the leeward or the windward side?.

should find It necessary to strike him,
would you remain where you were or
would you get oil to attend to the trol
ley?
"If there were only two vacant eeats
in the car, one Ju front, half of which

and on* toward the rear, three-quar
ters of which was occupied by a bar

"Would It be better to block the

In one seat forward than to allow one

"Should you find It necessary to

Why not? If he should follow ths car,

SPENCER A ABORN'3 GREAT
EMOTIONAL DRAMA,
“A WIFE’.S SECRET.”
Now in Its third season. Splendid
cast, elsborate production.
Same Bijou prices.
Clyde Fitch begins the production of
a play In the only sensible manner. The
actors who ore to appear In the drama
provide the first audience. Mr. Fitch
reads the play to them, and discover
ing what It all about, they set about
to learn their parts. Jane Kennark
and her company recently heard Mr,
Fitch read "The Toast of the Town,"
which will be presented at the Grand
In a short time.
Not one person In the cast, with the
exception of Miss Kennark, knew the
story of the play or anything of It be
fore Mr. Fitch commenced the reading
Each actor had been engaged to play a
certain part; each was told the name
of the character and Its Importance In
the drama; beyond this they knew
nothing. Imagine, then, the curious
Interest of each of these players, as
the characters which they were to as
sume were Introduced by the althor.
Doubtless many were dlsappolrited that
(hey did not appear In certain comedy
scenes or certain other "meaty” situ
ations In the drama, and it Is not
beyond reason to suppose that an actor
chosen for one part thought himself
Well qualified to play another role, and
one, of course, with more tinea and
better opportunities. No tragedy that
the player enacts in the play could
equal this one. It It old human nature
manifesting Itself.
One can easily Imagine, then, the
eagerneee of tide curious audience;
each actor picking up such words In
the text that belong to him ae they
dropped from the author's lips. , Pic
tures were at once formed In their
minds of how they would "suit the
action' to the word" and deliver par
ticular lines, and how deport them-
■elves In. certain eltuatlons. No fu
ture audience which will eee "The
Toast of the Town” could possibly have
the same Interest In the play aa this
one, compoeed of the actors, hearing
the .drama which they were to play.
Clyde Fltoh It Vereatlle.
To be at the reading of • play by the
author la a very unusual experience.
Mr. Fitch Is a reader whom even the
adore and actresees admit le an elo-
cuttoniet of no ordinary powere. He
acta avery role exactly as he expects
the actor shall when he has learned
hie part. When Mr. Fitch Is seen by
an audience on a first night, bowing hla
acknowledgments, or saying a few
trite words, they can have little notion
of hie cleverness at a rehearsal or at
the reading of one-of his plays. There
are thoee. Indeed, who believe that he
would have made a great reputation ae
an actor. While hearing Mr. Fitch
read "The Toast of the Town” to Miss
Kennark and her company, one can
not keep back the notion that he would
be successful as a lightning change
artist, playing each character In a
drama, a* did that clever man, l-regolL
The rending was wonderfully Inform
ing. The bursts of applause from the
actors during the reading and at the
conclusion of each act seam discon
certing to the author, but he went right
on with his tnsk with earnestness that
was charming to witness.
Mr. Fitch's plan transposes tho usual
order of things In the production of a
play. Before rehearsals the actor Is
ordinarily given his part—a little typo-
written book which contains the linos
In the play which he le to speak. He
knows nothing of the story Itself or of
the significance of the lines which ho
le to utter, and so when he comes to
rehearsal he can not possibly have a
right Idea of the speeches he has
learned. Tho etnge manager must In
form him of the meaning and value of
each word as he utters them. This old-
time method Is ns tedious aa It Is Im
practicable. It Is discomforting to tho
actor, and tho results are often dis
tressing to the auditor.
The First Rehearsal.
The actors who are to appear with
Miss Kennark In "The Toast of the
Town” heard the play read by Mr.
Fitch before they were allowed to eee
their parts. They were then given a
week In which to study, and so at ths
first rehearsal they knew their lines
and ths significance of every word that
they were to utter. Then came the real
work—that of learning the business In
Merely know lug tile words Is
Of no special significance. How, when
and where to spenk them Is tho thing,
and this does not tnke action and facial
expression Into account.
Nobody ever saw a play poorly staged
by Clyde Fitch, or one that was badly
acted at the first performance. The
reason for this Is that, contrary to
the usual custom, Mr. Fitch Insists on
the company rehearsing with scenery
and coetumea for two weeks prior to
the Initial preaentatlon of the play. The
customary thing Is t aht the actors
do not see the scenery till the drees
rehearsal the night before the perform
ance. -The result Is that they are un
acquainted with entrances and exlte;
they are naturally conscious of the fact
that they are wearing clothes to which
they have not become accustomed. Ic
Is In consequence of the care Mr. Fitch
take* In all these little details of pro
duction that he has not only gained a
great reputation as a stage manager,
but his plays are well done from ths
beginning.
It Is natural that the author should
have been timid when reading, and
really acting, his play before so critical
an audience as that which faced him,
and which Is depicted In the engraving.
Miss Kennark. of course, knew the
story of "The Toast of the Town" be-
fore Mr. Fitch started to read It, yet
when yon consider all the playe In
which sh* has appeared, sbs was. a
critic who would abash almost any
reader,
/
crippled, old gentleman? How nb'mt
the pretty young girl? ll'hat color
hc«e Is worn during rainy weather?
"Are the cars vsry crowded during
rainy weather? Well, does your arm
ever shrink during the same? Then,
why Is It the receipts are no larger?
“If a train woe fast approaching di
agonally to the car, would the motor-
man jump so as to give a correct
statement of the accident? It lightning
should strike a car, would you wait
to ring up the last fare?
"Supposo It were late at night nnd
no one was on the car, would you in
sist that your young Indy friend take
tho sent nearest the front of the car, If
she got on? Who would pay her fare?
"It you wero on a suburban car, be
tween Atlanta nnd Decatur, at 11: SO
o’clock, what would you do If your
found a cigarette and match In your
vest pocket?"
Here ended the lesson.
