THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, TUESDAY. DECEMBER 11. 11*. Cash Assets 580,000,000 Surplus. . . 510,000,000 Organized 1847' Charter Perpetual. Insurance in Force Over 5400,000,000 p The Penn Mutual Life InsuranceCorapany 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. .

There Is untie fun, more mel ody, more pure delight In "The Man From Now" than In anything which has visited the Grand this season. G. D. a. "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 those who Ore Interested In the drama for art's sake. ■ The local management ronBdently experts to see the Grand crow iled with the cultured and dls- i eliminating play-goers of the etty on 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. 1.4 tlie best "vlllalncss" that has ap peared at the Bijou III many a day— or night. Bo well did she play the part that she was cordially hated by the gal. lery before the first act was half over. The others In tha cast are acceptable. There Is plenty of special scenery, and real water Is used for rain In one act. The usual crowded house greeted the presentation of the play last night. C. J. K. Be Grateful To Mother.
