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.

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."
