THE THEATERS
I
Nethersole's “S«pho."
•■Sapho" lias come and gone.
Hun
dreds who had stayed at home on Mon
day turned out on Tuesday and the
(Iran i was titled almost to overflowing-.
And "Sapho" was worth It.
That first act was a aurprlae. It w
more an oxtrdvagania than drama The
scene at the Parta bal masque waa pre
sented fti., all its gorgeous, voluptuous
beauty. The dancing, the music. the
wine and all the revelry—they would
have made Bacchua wish himself on
earth again.
But ft was In the second act that
"Sapho" revealed herself first. From
her lovemaking In the beginning to her
denunciation of careleee tongues at the
end, It was perfect. And In the suc
ceeding acts Mist Nethersole's power
In emotional lines was shown as never
before. The play Is a powerful one, a
wonderful work—and Olga Nethersole
Is worthy of It.
As In the previous plays, the work of
' Kiank Mills stood head and shoulders
above the rest. T,hc beauty of the
great scenes between “Baplm” and Jean
k due as much to his finished art, per-
. haps as to' .Miss >ether-sole's splen
did Interpretation. In "Sapho" he Is
a co-star with hsr.
The supporting company appeared to
much better advantage than In "Adri
enne," and It is probable that the cast
was chosen more with a view to the
more popular play. The dancing of
Miss Qulnlnn In the masked ball scene
was a really beuuliful bit. William
('link, as Uncle Cesalre, gave a splen
did hit of comedy.
The play? Well, an audience com
posed of the moat prominent people In
Atlanta preferred the voluptuous, sen
suous, "Sapho” to the sweet and virtu
ous -Adrienne.” “8apho" Is a work
of art—and If it Is not meat for babes,
the evil of It Is dressed bo beautifully
that It Is hard not to forgive.
a. D. G.
At the Bijou.
After many weeks of musical comedy,
the Bijou Is presenting this week a
sterling comedy drama of the Blancy
brand, entitled “Old Isaacs of the Bow
ery'." This play, as the name suggests,
Is a Hebrew play, but not the slap
stick f.ort which has been so distaste
ful to the Jewish race. Old laaaca re
veals a world of pathos, with very clov
er dramatic effects Interwoven and at
"Pportune times there Is some clover
o-nedy Introduced which makes one
smile nmld tears.
The play deals with the life of Old
Isaacs, an Installment man, on the
Bowery dining the civil war days.
Isaacs waa noted for hla honesty, ready
wit and especially for the fact that
he would always extend a helping hand
to a suffering brother. The play Is In
four acts, each filled with Interesting
situations and clear cut dialogue. The
characters are well drawn and exceed
ingly well portrayed.
Special praise Is due Harry First for
Ills very conscientious work and fidel
ity to the character portrayed. The re.
malnder of the company Is made up of
good material and the show morrs with
if smoothness that bespeaks good stage
ifianagement.
"Old Isaacs of the Bowery” will be
tho hill for the balance of the week at
the Bijou.
Al H. Wilson.
The pleasurable announcement Is
made that golden voiced Al H. Wilson
comes to the Grand Wednesday and
Thursday nights and Thursday mati
nee.
“Met* In the Alps" Is the title of the
new vehicle by Sidney R. Kills, and Is
said to be tbe most successful play ever
written by that clever dramatist. The
scenes of the new romantic drama are
laid In picturesque. Switzerland and
Manager Kills has provided a sumptu
ous scenic equipment and surrounded
Mr. Wilson with an admirable support
ing company. A number of beautiful
ballads are sung *y Mr. Wilson, afford
ing him every opportunity for display
ing his voice. There Is a great deal of
human Interest in the play, ns It
abounds In dramatic climaxes and he
roic escapes.
“The One Woman.”
"The One Woman," the newest Dixon
play. Is running "The Clansman" a
very close race In the matter of re
ceipts on Us Southern tour. Kver since
"The One Woman" company opened Its
senson It has been playing to standing
room only, and In nearly every town
where this new play has appeared the
manager of the'thenler has requested u
return date. Under the personal direc
tion of Thomas Dixon, Jr., "The One
Woman” company will appear at the
Grand Friday and Saturday nights an.l
Saturday matinee. In many titles
where "The One Woman” has played
this year many have been disappointed
In their peats by not making early res
ervations. The seats are on sale at the
Grand box office. There Is every indi
cation that a large audience will bo >n
attendance, as "The One Woman" has
been discussed pro and con, all agree
ing that It Is a powerful argument
against Socialism, and an artistic dra
matic production. Mr. Dixon Is accom
panying the company and personally
surpenislng the stage rendition.

Jackson, Miss., Dec. 5.—The decision
of the United States supreme court
against the railroad commlsslcn of Mis
sissippi, denying It the right to order
fast trains to stop at stations it may
deem proper, is quite a blow to a large
number of small towns In the state.
The railroad commission some months
ago ordered the Illinois Central vesti
bule train to stop at Magnolia. The
rond refused to obey the order and
took the case to the United States su
preme court. •
