SCENE FROM “PATSY IN POLITICS.
CAPTAIN SWIFT
AT EL DORADO
Melodrama Opens Week at
Popular Priced Thea
ter.
Next week, beginning Monday night,
the people of Atlanta and the patrons
of the El Durado theater will have an
opportunity of witnessing "Captain
Swift,” which was to have been the
opening bill of the Blunkull-Atwood
company, hut which was postponed
Ing to ths non-arrival of some of
the company.
Captain Swift Is a notorious bush
ranger In Australia, w ho ons day walks
Into a bank and takes possession of
some 15.000 pounds and gets away w ith
He returns lo London, and there
saves the life of Mr. Seabrook. who
Invites him out to his home to dinner.
Captain Swift, who hsa changed his
name to Wilding, goes and there meets
R man whom he has robbed on Dungo
Pints In Australis. He Is rrot recog
nised, however, but the suspicion Is
very strong In the mind of Gardiner
that Wilding Is the mysterious Captain
Swift.
The play Is one of tlie strongest from
a dramatic standpoint, on (lie stags, ami
loaslblv no other of the charactern
olds the audience ao spell-bound as
does Captain Swift. It Is strongly- on
the order of “Raffles." In.so far as the
scenes are laid In the home# of the
highest society of London.
“Captain Swift" wilt be seen Mon

matinees Tuesday and Wednesday.
