During the flrst administration of

Dream of Engineers.
This mighty scheme to bore beneath
the Behring sea has long been a dream
of engineers and financiers of the
world. More than once the great en
gineering leaders have said that It was
entirely feasible, but It remained for
an Atlantan to form a company to un
dertake the titan task.
The plan contemplates an all rail

"Lovers and Lunatics."
If attendance and applause are cri
terion! of the merits of a play, "Lovers
and Lunatlca," the musical comedy
that held the boards at the Bijou on
Monday night was one of the most'dc^
lightful plays that ever sent laughter
on a lark.
Standing room was at n premium
before the curtain rose on the first act,
and If any one vacated his seat before
the drop of the curtain on tho last act
the fact has not been recorded. En
cores were frequent. Applause was
generous throughout, and voluminous
In "spots.”
There are any number of funny sit
uations In the play, and In the main
they were well taken care of by Joe
Morris and his side-partners In the
production of laughter, Henry P, Nel
son, its "Henrlch Dlnkelsplel," and J.
Maurice Holden, as "Cornelia Dinkel-
splel.” i •
Quite the main charm of the play
was the chorus, which, though of grad
uated sizes, was none the less well
drilled and prettily costumed. George
Richmond's rendition of "Roll On, Sil
ver Moon," wns n distinct and most
pleasing feature of the attraction.
The Jokes were funny. One or two
of them were ns funny as the law al-
° "Lovers and Lunatics" will be at the
Bijou through the week. If there were
any disappointed people at the theater
•Monday night they were not In evi
dence. It Is safe to predict, therefore,
that good houses will greet the com
pany each night. J. D. G.
"It Happened in Nordland.”
What happened?
Nothing! , •
If anything happened during the
three hours of dreariness In the Grand
Monday night nobody awoke In time to
observe It.
There were those who heard with
regret that the production which had
been so successful In East and West
was in Atlanta for only one night.
Everybody wanted to sec the big show.
They saw It.
They saw .a large production with
half a dozen comedians and a big
horns. It bore the stamp of a "big
show" but It lacked quality. There
was no sparkle In the dialogue, no real
music In the songs. The chorus girls
wore not the beauties advertised. The
show was like champagne that has
stood until the bubbles are gone—flat,
i—-i- but perhaps not unprofitable.

currcd to one o{ the pleased attendants
of "The Ham Tree" performance to dub
the piece "tile laughing trust.” By
that title It has been known ever
since, and right royalty Is the title de<
served. The press of the country, the
theatrical critics who seem more anx
ious to pick flaws than give praise,
have caught the spirit of the thing and
all are agreed .that McIntyre nnd Heath
never appeared to better advantage
There Is a lot of catchy music, songs
with the cleverest words one ever
heard, take-offs and Impersonations
and the like, which keep the audience
In a continual, uproar of laughter.
"The Lilac Room.”
"The Lilac Room" Is the title of the
charming dramatic comedy by Evelyn
Greenleaf Sutherland and Beulah
Marie Dix, In which that clever Amerl-
can actress-manager, Amelia Bingham,
supported by a strong company of Eng
lish, players, will make her appearance
at the Grand Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, with a matinee Saturday
afternoon.
The name suggests the freshness and
fragrance of rural England—a sugges
tion that la the keynote to the produc
tion. The scenes are laid In a quaint
English village among delightful gen
tle folk, whose ordinary life Is strange
ly at variance with the set of unusual
clrrumstances that befall thenf in the
course of >he drama, ills* -Bingham
plays an American woman, who comes
quite unconventionally Into their midst
nnd at flrst somewhat shocks thdr
conventional sensibilities by her frank
manner nnd ready tongue, but who
in tho end, through her wit, tact and
force under trying circumstances, wins
the admiration of all—nnd the love of
the man among them, whom she con
siders most worth while. Tho "role It
admirably suited to Miss Bingham's
art anil personality, and gives her the
opportunity to near some stunning
gowns. She Is the only American ♦lay
er In the cast. Just as her character Is
the only one In the play representing
an Amerlcnn. For tho roles of English
men and women, Miss Bingham went
to London for players, with the result
that "The Lilac Room’’ has a cast
thoroughly capable of reflecting the pe.
cullarly delightful atmosphere of the
piny. The BUpport Is headed by Fred
Tyler, for years prominent iVlth Roor-
bohni Tree and with the famous Lon
don Lyceum Company.
At the Star.
The Kentucky Outlaws" seemed to
hit the fancy of the Star audience
Monday night, and was greeted, by
thunderous applause.
The principal features of this moun
tain drama are pistols and knives nnd
plenty of them, and then there arc
several catchy musical features, which
are put on between the acts. While
the play Is rather on the blood-cur
dling order, It Is presented In a clev
er way, nnd is probably the largest
production ever put on at the Star.
