7 * THE GREAT SALE CONTINUES Four Days Last Week Was a Record Breaker on Clos- * ing Out Goods. OUR GRAND CLOSING OUT SALE. No More China and Glassware for the King Hardware People. As is perfectly well known a]] Jar e flenlers often buy goods six months in advance, nnrt that has been the ease with us to quit, a large extent, and Ntill we arc 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 jtidges of this class goods, and the reason why wc mention this is to prove that we are giving the big reductions thnt are being daily advertised. Don’t know whether we can finish up this week or not, but would 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 great amount of stock left. Why don't you buy one of those beautiful hall lamps? They are-imt only serviceable but ornamental. Please bear in mind that every piece of goods in this depart' meat 1ms got to go—and everything is marked all the way from ■JiT to -*>0 per cent reduction. To close out this department we can' better afford to make big sacrifices and wind it up rather than limki slight cuts and run on week after week in the perfection of ;i wind-lip. Why don’t you go through oar odds and ends? We have hun dreds of little things that cost more in Jnpan and Germany than we are asking you right here in Atlanta. In dinner ware—open stock—“-or in sets we are pleasing every body—the prices plnced on these things certainly sell the goods. Don’t wait until the things are picked over further; come now Mid get the pick of what is left. KING HARDWARE COMPANY, 63 Peachtree Street.

"Coming Thro’ the Rye.’ "Coming Thro* the Rye" will enter tain patrons of the Grand Monday night and Tuesday matinee and night. The Lexington Herald h&fl the fol lowing to ^ay of tho attraction: "Two performances of a musical comedy called ‘Coming Thro’ the Rye, 1 were given In the Lexington opera house. The entertainment had been announced In a way which bore the thumb-marks of honesty und 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, JinglJng 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 of the highest degree of talent. From the.rise to the Anal fall of the curtain there was not a moment In which the auditors were not intense ly Interested. "tTnmlstnkably hearty applause and Immoderate laughter characterized the Impression which the entertainment made upon the spectators. It was all good; It was nil 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~Bljou. A young bride’s struggles In a sea of doubt against the suspicions of nn un compromising husband and the perse cutions of relentless enemies, is what forms the foundation of tho emotional drama, "A Wife’s Secret," which Spen cer and Aborn 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 tions, full of tender heart Interest, spiced with Irresistible hursts of coin* y, genuine pathos and thrilling scenes and dramatic situations, has to Its credit a record of hearty approval and gratifying financial results everywhere It has appeared, and has proven Itself one of the 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 has many Interesting characters, portrayed by a carefully se lected cast of melodrnmatlc favorites, and the scenic equipment Is on the same pretentious scale as the last two seasons. Murray and Mack. For beauty, elegance and charm, the roductlon that Murray and Mack of fer in their successful musical farce, "Around the 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 ono of the most capable choruses that havo supported these well-known comedians, are most 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 most fastidious play-goef PRESS ELDRIDGE, BOY IHD IN GRASS; RUN OVER BY MOWER HpoHnl to Tile Georgian.

"The voice of the people Is as treach erous as the Democratic m-.tle when tlckelcd 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. 23,” read the report on which his eye fell, "while traversing eight blocks of unpaved Peachtree be tween the hours of 7:30 and 10:13 a. m., 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 ca-operatlon of the motor- man. Four showed fight. Casualties: And so forth. Then President Arkllght, having said "h'm,” drew up special examination No. 1, to be stood by all conductors of the Elite Carrying Company and all applicants for Jobs. Here Is a rough draft of the first paper: "It a car Is going at the rate of 30 miles nn hour and a passenger attempts to sit In the second seat from the back how far forwaM will bo land If the car jumps the track? If the tnotorman •tops suddenly? If the car runs Into a telegraph pole? "If by chance none of these three oc- cnrrences happen, how would you throw him forward without Injuring him suf ficiently for damages? "If a man smoking a ‘three-for’ take a seat In the center of the car, would you tell him to desist by approaching from the leeward or tho windward side? Had you rather Inhale the smoke by walking up the aisle or Jump off the car and run to the front while It was In full motion? "It a 200-pounder should refuge to throw away his cigar, would you In sist? Would you do It politely? If you should find It necessary to strike him, would j’ou remain where you were or would you get off to attend to the trol ley? "If there were only two vacant seats In the car, one In front, half of which was occupied by a picture-hat girl nnd one toward tho rear, three-quar ters of which was occupied by a bar- galn-countor rusher, how long would it take you to make the bald-headed map take the forward seat? "Would It be better to block the aisle by making two 300-pounders sit In one seat forward then to allow one tn occupy two scats In the rear? "Should you find It necessary throw a henlthly-looktng mnn off the car, would you stop to get his name? Why not? If ho should follow the car, would you ring one bell lo let the fat Indy off at the next corner? "Why would you snatch the cigar ette from the 110-pounder without ar gument? Do you believe In saving time under such rlrcumstnnre? Sup pose he had a 180-pound friend across the aisle whom you hud not noticed, would you apologise? To which one? "What per cent of the male passen gers will arise to give up their seats when a homoly woman enters the car, now that they cun not smoke on the hack platform? What per cent will give up their seats to n pretty girl? What per cent of the latter will go to the back platform? What per cent will lean against the seat they have Just given up? How much would this latter per cent be decreased If she wore a peek-a-boe shirt waist? In this case, how many advertisements would be read? How many times would you have to touch him on the arm before he realised that he should pay a portion of the 100 per cent we make on our capital Invested? "Will It make the old maid angry when you Insist that the good-looking fellow sits by her? How about the fel low ? "Do you always get off the car and help the fat lady with the many bun- dlos? The pretty girl? If It la rain- Ing, would you get off and help on the A Party Story. Mrs. A gave a card party. The Ice cream did not come. There was no Bell telephone In the house.

M. 1300 BELL SERVICE IS SATIS FACTORY AMERICAN PLA YWRIGHT HAS HIS OWN METHOD OF PIRST REHEARSALS Clyde Fitch begins the production of a piny In the only sensible manner. The actors who are to appear in the drama provide the first audience. Mr. Fitch reads the play to them, and discover ing w'bat It all about, they set about to learn their parts. Jane Kennark nnd her company recently heard Mr. Fitch road "Tho Toast of the Town," which will pe presented at the Grand Jn 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.

Same Bijou prices. ipol the drama; beyond this the; nothing. Imagine, then, the curious Interest of each of these players, as the characters which they were to as sume were Introduced by the author. Doubtless many were disappointed that they did not appear In certnln comedy scenes or certain other "meaty” situ utlons In tho drama, and It Is not beyond reason to suppose that an actor chosen for one part thought himself well qualified to play another role, nnd one, of course, with more lines and better opportunities. No tragedy that the player enacts In the play could equal this one. It Is old human nature manifesting Itself. One can easily Imagine, then, the eagerness of this curious audience; each actor picking up such words In the text that belong to him as 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 selves In certain situations. No fu ture audience which will see "7%e Toast of the Town” could possibly have the same Interest In the play ae this one, composed of the actors, bearing the drama which they were to play. Clyde Fitch Is Versatile. To be at the reading of a play by the author Is a very unusual experience. Mr. Fitch te n reader whom even the actors and actresses admit Is an elo cutionist of no ordinary poWora. He acts every role exactly aa he expects the actor shall when he haa learned his part. When Mr. Fitch la seen by an audience on u first night, bowing his acknowledgments, or saying a few trite words, they ran have little notion of hla cleverness at a rehearsal or at the reading of one of his plays. There are those. Indeed, who believe that he would hnve made a great reputation ns nn actor. While hearing Mr. Fitch read "The Toast of the Town” to Miss Kennark and her company, one can not keep bark the notion that he would l>e successful as n lightning change artist, playing each character In a ' drama, mm did that clever man, Fregoll. The reading waa wonderfully inform- Ing. The bursts of applause from the actors (luring the reading agd at the conclusion of each act seem discon certing to the author, but he went right on with his task with earnestness that was charming to witness. Mr. Fitch’s plan transposes fhc usual order of things In tha production of a play. Before rehenrsnls the actor Is ordinarily given his part—a little type written hook which contains the lines In the play which he Is to speak. He knows nothing of the story Itself or of the significance of the lines which he Is to utter, and so when he comes to rehearsal he can not possibly havo a right Idea of the speeches he haa learned. The stage manager must In form him of the meaning nnd value of . each word aa he utters them. This old- i no " time method Is as tedious as It Is Im practicable. It la discomforting to the actor, and tha results are often die- treesing to the auditor. The Flret Rehearsal. The actors who are to appear with Mies Kennark In "The Toaat of the Town” heard the play read by Mr. Fitch before they were allowed to see their parts. They were then given a week In which to study, and so at the first rehearsal they knew their lines and the significance of every word that they were to utter. Then cams ths real work—that of learning the business in a plot. Merely knowing the words Is of no special significance. How, when and where to speak them Is the thing. an'l tVHCir iu F|N’ltlV IIICIII M HID llllllff, and this does not take bctlon and facial expression Into account. Nobody evsr saw a play poorly staged by Clyde Fitch, or one that was badly acted at the Itrst performance. The reason for this Is that, contrary to the usual custom, Mr. Fitch Insists on the company* rehearsing with scenery and costumes for two weeks prior to the Initial presentation of the play. The customary thing Is t aht the actors do not see ths scenery till the dress rehearsal the night before ths perform ance. The result Is that they are un acquainted with entrances and exits: they are naturally conscious of the fact that they are wearing clothes to which they have not become accustomed. .It I, In consequence of the care Mr. Fitch takes In all these little details of pro duction that he has not only gained a grrat reputation as a stage manager, but his plays are well done from the -ginning. It Is natural that the author should have been timid when reading, and really acting, hla play before so critical an audience ae that which faced him, and which is depleted 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 you consider all the plays In which she has appeared, the was a critic who would abash almost any reader. crippled old gentleman? How about the pretty young girl? What color hp«e Is worn during rainy weather? “Are the cars very 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 waa fast approaching di agonally to the car. would the motor- man Jump so as to give a aorreft statement of the accident?

Who would pay her fare? "If you were on a suburban car, be tween Atlanta and Decatur, at 11:20 o’clock, what would you do If your found a cigarette and match In your vest pocket?” Here endod the lesson.
