22 THE ATLANTIAN S> With the Theatres S> “EAST LYNNE.” Something Doing All This Week at the Lyric—Matinee Tues day, Thursday and Satur day—Reserve Your Seats Now. One reason for the undying popu larity of “East Lynne,” the great emo tional drama, which will be the at traction at the Lyric, beginning Mon day, April 10, for an engagement of one week with the usual matinees, is the fact that there has never been a play written which combined the ele ments of passion which abound in this more than popular drama. “East Lynne” has been seen by more mil lions of play-goers than any other play ever written, and yet the char acters around which this great story is woven are those that we come in contact with every day. The cast which will present "East Lynne” is that which composes the big road company which has toured all of the larger cities of the United States and Canada this season, and which will play a limited number of the larger Southern cities on the tour. An in novation is announced by the man agement of the Lyric Theater in the fact that there have been so many requests for a first-class performance of "Camille” in English by' a first- class company, that Thursday next, matinee and night, will be known as “Camille” day, and two performances only of the great Dumas drama will be given by the same excellent com pany presenting “East Lynne.” What the theater patrons of Atlanta may ex pect can best be judged when they have seen the first performance of “East Lynne,” and have had a chance to judge and criticise this more than excellent company for themselves. There will be no advance in prices for the “Camille” performances, and the usual scale will prevail. “BREWSTER’S MILLIONS.” A Great Play at the Lyric, Com mencing Monday, April 17. Frederic Thompson’s production of “Brewster’s Millions,” a dramatiza tion of George Barr McCutcheon’s fa mous story of the same name, will be the attraction at the Lyric, the week of April 17. The stage version of Mr. McCutcheon’s book is the co work of Winchell Smith and Byron Ongley. It will be presented here by the same admirable cast that first in troduced the play to the New York public, where it ran for upwards of one year. The story is odd, and tells of the efforts of Montgomery Brewster to spend a million dollars left him by his grandfather within a year, and preserve complete secrecy regarding his ultimate object. He is not per mitted to give or gamble it away, nor is he permitted to endow any institu tion or erect any permanent memo rial. This is made a condition under which he inherits a fortune seven times as vast from an uncle who has conceived and nourished a bitter ha tred for the grandfather. Frederic Thompson, the producer, has furnished a scenical equipment for the play which, from all accounts, has proved sensational. The third act— in the scene aboard the yacht—one of Brewster’s money-spending de vices—there is a marvelous and par ticularly effective bti of stagecraft. In this scene a storm arises and the stage settings, the movements of the waves, the lightning effects, all com bine to make it a particularly realis tic and interesting stage effect. The chief character, that of “Monty” Brew ster, is in the hands of the well- known and versatile young actor, Carl Gerard. The heroine will be essayed by the dainty and talented Grace Nile. The other long list of characters will be represented by names well known on the mimic stage.
