The Penn Mutual offers no new policy forms for 1907. The Company believes that its . present standard con
tracts, such as Twenty-Year Endowment, Twenty-Payment Life, Ordinary Life, Convertible Term, and New Life
Rate Endowment, all issued on the Annual Dividend plan, cannot be further improved.
The Penn Mutual does not offer Special Board Contracts, by which one member is promised advantages not
given to all. Being a purely Mutual Company, it could not do so and be honest.
For five years the Penn Mutual has led all Companies in Georgia in paid-for business, and now leads all Com
panies in volume of business in force in the State.' This excellent result is because of the Company’s untarnished
record for sixty years, the excellence of its policy forms, its liberal dividends, and* especially because of its con
servative management, which believes in exact and equal justice to all, with special favors to none.
We invite correspondence with capable men of good character who desire to engage in life insurance work.
While previous experience in life insurance work is desirable, it is not essential. Liberal contracts for 1907 wil be
offered. • — -
To people who intend buying insurance, we will be pleased to furnish full information and specimen polides,
free from importuuity, upon application to any of our Agents or direct to this office. .

"Biwars of Man."
The Batdwln-Melvllle Stock Com
pany opened the week at the Kl Dorado
with the performance of I'll7. Murphy's
great melodrama, "Beware of Men."
The atory of the play Is rather start
ling, but It dsplcts In an exact manner
the methods of n scoundrel and Is a
salutary lesson for girls. Grace Field,
a young and beautiful girl, leaves home
to follow the man she loves. She goes
to New York and there he places her In
a questionable house. She Is found
here by the Rev. Oliver Churchill and
after many thrilling adventures lie
takes her back home, where all Is for
given her. The east Is good. Miss De
Vernon. Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Harry
appearing to belter advantage than the
other members of the company.
"Beware of .Men" will be given Tues
day afternoon and nlghf atyd again
Wednesday afternoon and night. The
latter part of the week the great Eng.
Msh melodrama, "Woman Against
Woman." will be the bill.
"The Girl and the Bandit"
Great things are promised In 'who
Girl and the Bandit.” which the Viola
aillette Opera Company will present at
the Grand on Wednesday and Thursday
nights and Thursday matinee.
Tills opera Is one of the most pro
nnunced hits of the present season. In
Chicago, w here it was originally put on
for two weeks, the management was
obliged to extend the engagement so
that the company remained there in nil
ten weeks, the business being large at
every performance. The otiera has all
the elements that appeal to the popular
taste. Tha music Is of the order that
Is enjoyed by those who ask for the
best, and It Is so melodious and taking
and so unusual in Its variety and scope
that every number Is popular. Fur
thermore. Miss Gltlstte's company Is
made up not only of comedians, but of
singers, and one number especially, a
eextelte. Is praised as being worthy of
grand opera. The scene of the opera is
laid In Venice and the scenery and cos
tumes are appropriately rich and taste
ful.
Ben Greet Players Coming.
That Ben Greet and Ills company of
artists will be accorded a hearty wel
come Is the consensus of opinion j'f

Saturday afternoon at matinee, Satur
day night, Monday night and Tuesday
matinee, when "Everyman” will be pre
sented, and Tuesday night when "The
Merchant of Venice" will be the attrac
tion. The Ben Greet players are sec
ond lo none In their Intimate knowledge
of Shakespeare and the works of other
playwrights of note, whose efforts have
stood the test of time and tower 4lke
giants above the pigmies of later day
producers. The dramatic portrayal of
human emotions Is their theme, and
uot n scheming to secure beautiful
scenic effects. There Is nothing uf a
mechanical nature to distract the mind
from the beauty of the play.
The 8tar.
With fresh new costumes, a few
changes In the chorus and a little elab
oration In staging,'"A Desperate Game,
down on the program as a senautlonal
three-act drama, was presented to
large, enthusiastic crowds at Monday's
instinoe ami night performances. This
bill, which hue, in addition to this
drama, many vaudeville and musical
specialty features, Includes some of the
old favorites and many new vaudeville
artists.
The Star has been doing its usual
good business and Its patrons have
seemed to be well pleased with the
mixed bills being preaented.
At the Bijou.
"The Millionaire l>etertlve," as play
ed by Howard Hall at the Bijou this
week, lias the late Mr. Sherlock Holmes
beaten to a thin, vapory froth,
comparison, M. I-ecoq. the famous
French detective, Is but a cheap and
gaudy Imitation, while, the erstwhile
Colonel llawkshaw is not even among
the also runs. Why. the sleuth which
Mr. Hall portrays, might even give our
own Newport Lanford one or two tips
on how 10 put a crimp In the festive
criminal—but we doubt It.
When it comes right down 10 the lust
severe test of disguise and acumen,
“The Millionaire Detective" :s all the
horseradish In the Jar. Nobody last
evening would huve been astonished to
see Mr, Hall suddenly disguise himself
as a white horse, and ash barrel or a
cosy corner. It Just comes natural for
him tc change from one personality to
another, and that. too. In the twinkling
of nn eye.' And Mr. Hall doesn’t hesi
tate to make use of science as u means
of keeping cases on the "vtlyuns." Nut
he.
First crack out of I he box lie rang In
a new-fangled attachment to his tele
phone which (lashed the picture of the
person t> whom lie was talking, on a
big disk nn top of hia table. And—
Aha! the adventuress was foiled. Then
he slid out of n locked trunk through a
thick, lire proof wall of n skyscraper
Into another room, found a secret
opening, and with drawn revolver-
tolled the whole gang of "vtlyuns."
Then he had an electric machine which
brought the dead back to life and—but
what's the use of telling? You ought
to see the show. It will take you back
t<s those good old days when you used
to sneak back of the barn to rsatf about
the doings of Old Sleuth and Old Cap
Collier.
The play was written by Mr. Hall
and his manager. Charles E. Blansy.
It is based upon the cate of Mrs. Cas
tle Chadwick, who Is now doing time In
the Ohio penitentiary for sundry finan
cial deals. Of course Mr. Hall Is the
whole show. He Is the etsr and It Is a
dull moment when he Is not occupying
the center of the etage. He Is tall-
very lull—and somewhat graceful. He
masticates his lints carefully before
giving them expression.
Almost all the comedy work falls
upon George Ovey, a "smart" office boy,
who, aided and abetted by a pair of
agile feet and Miss Louise Horner,
managed to get half a dozen encores
last night. Miss Barbara Douglas, as
Mrs. -Sedgwick, the wicked adventuress.
