IS SATIS
“A Corner in Coffee.’ 1
Mr. Tim Murphy, on Monday and
Tuesday night and Tuesday matinee at
the Grand, will present "A Fortier In
Coffee,** a charming play,. charmingly
played by an excellent company. The
two leading character* portrayed by
Tim Muphy and Dorothy Hherrod and
a caftt apt Hally choneh by Mr. Murphy
with regard to Ida or her fitness for
each part, promises to make a most
pleasing and satisfying performance. A
brilliant play la often ruined by a poor
company, which accounts for that feel
ing of disappointment that one often
experiences on seeing a much heralded
New York success. It lakes an actor
or actress of high ability to play the
leading part in a play of high ability,
and actors of that Hass can seldom be
Induced to leave New York unless they
are starred or featured. For that rea
son the performance, headed by a star
actor. Is apt to give much greater sat
isfaction than the most widely adver
tised play Interpreted by an average
road company. It Is hard to get the
worth of your money seeing a New
York success, unless It Is seen In New
York, us it Is there played by actors
of the highest order. Then, when the
play has been thoroughly advertised as
a “real hit,” Inferior actors are sub
stituted, and ll Is sent out through the
country to coin money on Its New York
reputation.
Richard Mansfield.
No druniutlc event J* awaited with
the confident eagerness of the appear
ance (»f lUchard Mansfield. It Is now
two years since he has played here.
He comes again on Thursday night and
will be seen nt the*Grand In his great
role of the Norwegian scamp In
superb production of Henrik Ibsen's
"Peer Gynt." Mansfield deserves a
place among the great educators ns
well as the great nctors of his time.
He has not been content with the ease
and comfort of sustained runs In New
York. He possesses a fondness for
every corner of the country which has
raised him to hl» position of pre-emi
nence, and he has been logical to the
point of dedicating some few weeks of
every year to some particular section.
"Parsifal” 1a Coming.
The famous poet, author and com
poser. Richard Wagner, was ulways
known as a man of abstemious habits
and frugal taste* Notwithstanding
his genius, he was as simple and as
Impulsive ns a child, even nt the height
of his career. On© of the many an
ecdotes told of him, Illustrating these
traits. Is worth repeating.
It was during the rehearsal of "Par
sifal," prior to Its initial production In
Ills wife, Coslnm Wagner, and him
self, were seated 111 the auditorium of
the Festival theater, Iniently watching
one of the final rehearsals of "Parsifal.*'
He was greatly pleased with the man
ner the artists acquitted themselves. ... ww . wvt , .
and, at tho grunt! finale of the second Automobile, engineers and motorinan
i, he was so overcome with Joy that j| ne rVPr Known In Atlanta. Rccognlz-
rushed upon the stage aiul kissed | , n>? h ow hard It’s been for you to get
~ .. « gomethlng to please you, wo have made
I climax was greeted with tumultuous
applause.
Miss Vail DeVernon played Duello
Garlyle, who was torn between the
conflicting emotions of love for a Fed
era! officer and a desire to punish her
brother's assassin, the evidence point
ing to her sweetheart as the guilty
man. Hhe has never In Atlanta de
picted a part so entirely suited to her
as this, and severaj times the atmos
phere she lent to the pluy found its
way across the footlights and the au
dlence lived with her In her troubles
back In the sixties. Kspedully Is this
true of the scene in the third act,
where she has to decide between such
strong evidence of her lover's guilt as
the assassin of her brother and her
heart's dictates of his Innocence.
W. H. Murdoch was the Federal of
ficer, Victor Blanchard, and Ills por
trayal of the part was splendid.
Lots of good, clean comedy xvas giv
en by Miss Hnrtly and Mr. Silver In
Gay Purlyle, Luclle's cousin, and a
Loml« n war correspondent, Confucius
Carter.
Miss T.,oui.se Kent played Kate WII-
tnurtli. a rebel spy, who loved the vil
lain, Captain Dudley Middleton (W. H
Barry), and she did a splendid bit in
tlio discovery of the papers telling her
of his guilt. (He Is the assassin of
young t’arlyle.)
The play Is well worth seeing, and
will be repeated Friday and Saturday,
matinees and nights. "Sherlock
Holmes" will be the play Monday
night. It Is a companion play to
"Raffles."
Children at El Dorado.
On Saturday afternoon the Baidu In-
Melville Stock Company will again give
one of their freo matinees to the school
children of Atlanta. The success of
the matinee on lust Saturday, coupled
with the fact that many of the children
wore unable to obtain seats on account
of the Inrge number that applied' for
them. H**" decided the management of
the Balawln-Melvllle Company to give
unother matinee for them.
At th* Star.

with good musical foatures and high-
class vaudeville specialties Is the bill
of fare at the Star Theater all this
week.
The Star Company has played to
Inrge. well-pleased audiences this week
an«l ropord-breaUIng houses are pre
dicted for tho balance of this week.
The moving pictures are well worth
seeing and several new songs are sung
with illustrations.
"The* Old Sport" has made many
friends and will be remembered by
Star putrons as one of the best pro
ductions of the season.

leged violation of the alien contract

Charleston Immigrant*.
Counsel for tha mill men have made
statements, bearing on the cue* of
Kd. A. Smith, and the other defend
ants, saying that the two case* appear
virtually In the same class.
Tho only grounds for government
continuation of its cases, according to
counsel for the mill men, might be
found In the fact that the South Caro
lina legislature had duly authorised the
work of securing the Immigrants who
came over on the Wltteklnd, while the
agent of tho North Carolina mill men
