A WEEK’S OFFERINGS AT THEATERS
REALLY WORTH WHILE
IS "AROUND THE CLOCK"
AT BIJOU ALL NEXT WEEK
The Bijou will offer next week a- mu
■leal play that come* with the guar
antee that It la by far the moat In
teresting musical comedy of the season
at that theater. It Is “Around the
Clock." an all night of fun and hilarity.
Borne Idea of the rpal merit of the
piece can best be gained by reading
the following notice of "Around the
Clock." which appeared' Tuesday
the Birmingham Age-Herald:
"Around the Clock." which began a
week's engagement at the Bijou Thea
ter last night, la In some respects the
best musical show that has been offer
ed to patrons of the Bijou this season.
It proved an agreeable surprise to a
large audience last night and won fa
vor In such an unmistakable way that
crowded houses will no doubt be In
order for the remainder of the week.
In the drat place, the show Is a gen
ulna novelty. It la full of unusual sit.
nations, comedy that Is effective. If hi-,
sarre, and scenes that tickle the risi
bilities Immensely. It Is a wide de
parture from the musical comedies that
have been seen In Birmingham before.
Billie Ritchie aa Billie Smith, a man
who Is never sober, appeared In a role
that he' played with marked ability
and he was given excellent support by
Rich McAllister ns the bell boy. This
pair amused the audience considerably
In the flrst and second acts, and other
members of the company also had a
hand in the fun making, but It was In
the third act that a climax of the hilar
ity was reached. This act was staged
to represent a music hall where vaude
ville numbers were ludicrously bur
lesqued, , with the assistance of the
comedians who occupied boxes on eith
er side and were supposed to be mem
bers of the make-believe audience.
Some of these acts were better than
others, of course, but all were funny
ami created an uproar that Increased
until the climax was reached In a
wrestling match that was literally what
a press agent would call a "screaih.”
One or two other acts on the "bill"
were equally as good. Mr. Ritchie
and Mr. McAllister were not still
moment during this act and the laugh
ter from pit to dome was continuous.
In addition to Its mirth provoking
qualities, "Around the Clock" has a
well trained chorus of girls, who sing
fairly well and are sprightly at all
times. The songs are tuneful and i
variety of elaborate costumes lend col
or to the ensembles.
FIRST SHUBERT OFFERING
PROMISES NEW PLAYERS
FOR SEASONS TO COME
The announcement that Mary Man-Imlght have been brought to Dixie In
nerlng would appear at the El Dorado 1 tm
Theater next Friday night has caused
more than ordinary Interest among
Atlanta lovers of the theater, not so
much on account of Miss Mannerlng.
as of the flrst entrance of the "In
dependent" managers Into Atlanta. It
Is taken aa a forecast of the seasons
to come, and the hope Is expressed
that the Shuberts and Belaaco and the
other Interests who have severed their
relations with the syndicate of produc
ing managers known ns "Klnw A Er-
langer" will have a theater next sea
son where their players may be seen.
The writer Is not disposed to Join
In the tumult of cries of "oppression”
and "monopoly” aginst the booking
syndicate which has control of most
Southern theaters, and which Is headed
by Klnw & Erlsnger, of New York.
The differences between the producers
have been brought about by many
causes and the skirts of neither side
are entirely unspotted. If the syndicate
has dictated what plays may be given
In their houses and when. It Is also
true that under the direction of the
syndicate most of their productions
have been well mounted, presented by,
players of at least average merit, and
fully as satisfactory as In seasons be
fore the altercation of th* managers
brought about a separation of Inter
est*. It Is true that th* South has not
been satlafled with Its share of the th*.
ntrlcal feast and has felt that more
leading players and more new plays
consideration of the liberal patronage
accorded. A protest has also been
often made against occasional Infliction
on the public,' at ful Iprlces, of produc
tions which are given In the East at
second rale theaters and at price* com
mensurate with the merit of the offer
ing.
But without entering Into a discus
slon of the method* of the syndicate, It
Is certain that the theatergoing public
will welcome the entrhnce of a new
factor Into the Held. The Shuberts
and their allied Interests—foremost
among whom Is David Uelnsco, the
foremost producing manager In Amer
leal-can but offer that rlvnlry and
competition which should elevate the
tone of the productions offered. Be
sides that. It will give to Atlanta an
opportunity to see many players of
well-known ability and many plays
which have been successful In the East,
but have been barred from the the-
ter* of the combination circuit since
they severed connection with the book
ing company.
It Is to be regretted that the Shu
berts waited until the close of the sea
son before experimenting In Atlanta,
but it Is expected that some arrange
ment will be made by next season by
which the El Dorado will be secured
or another theater built which will be
open to tha "Independent" attraction*.
Atlanta Is amply able to support two
flrst-clasa theaters If productions
worthy of patronage are presented.

*1,000 BEING RAISED
TO FIND YOUNG WOMAN.
Ypsilanll, Mich, April 20.—One thou-
•and dollars Is being raised by the
friends of Miss Lora Bryant, the Slate
Normal school student who dlaappaard
from home last Monday, with a view
to employing an expert detective to
And her. It Is understood Mlsa Bryant
expressed a desire to drop out of sight i
and study slum Ilfs.
Mary Mannerlng, the charming and
capable young actress, has. It Is sold,
In her new vehicle, "Glorious Betsy,"
th* best play of the year. The au
thor of the new play Is Rlila Johnsoh
Young, who wrote "Brown of liar*
yard."* .
Miss Mannerlng began her career
when but 15 years old. It was one
of those peculiar things we hear about
that played the decisive part In her
earlier career. Home friends happened
to see the young girl's picture at an
exhibition In London. They were
charmed by the beauty and expressive
ness of the face. The original, then
but 15 years old, was living quietly
with her friends, and her picture was
on view only because an artist had
admired her beauty and obtained per
mission to transfer It to canvus. These
friends—one of whom was Kyrle Bel
low—Induced her to go upon the stage.
During her llrst season she played
more than Ally small parts under the
name of Florence Friend. For the next
three year* she continued to act In the
British provinces, acquiring a fairly
wide experience, but never attaining
the reclame of nn appearance In the
West End. or Andlng a London mnn-
| nger who cared to secure her services.
! The next step 111 her career was a
j suAlclently surprising one. though the
i account of It thut lias pussed Into cur-
' rent theatrical history Is not quite eor-
1 met. The accepted version Is that
! Daniel Froliman. during one of his
summer holidays, was making a solita
ry bicycle tour over the country high
sonntlons that stand out as her
were Fay. the Italian girl In "The
Princess and the Butterfly." nnd Rose
Tmlawney, the delightful actress who
gave "Trelawney of the Wells" Its
title.
Acting one winter with the troupe
after ItH removal to Daly's, Miss Mun-
nerlng then signed to star In a drama
tisation of the year's "best seller,"
"Janice Meredith." The story had
never nppenled to her. and she liked
the piny still less, but 'It was fortunate
perhaps that she did not take the ad
vice of a New York critic, who sug
gested that Jocelyn Leigh In "To
Have nnd to Hold" would suit her
"down to the ground." For "Janice
Meredith" proved a strong popular
success, while "To Have nnd to Hold."
put forward later with Isabel Irving
and Robert Loralnc In the chief parts,
turned out to be utterly unsulted to
the stage, nnd was summarily bundled
Into the storage wnrehnu.se.
Then came "The Btubbornes* of
Geraldine" nnd "Harriet's Honeymoon."
Lost season she appeared with her
husband. James K. Hnckett, as co-star
In "The Walls of Jerlco," the play
written by Alfred Sutru, which wus
one of ’the leading successes In New
York last season.
When Mr, Hnckett decided to become
a manager, and to pet only at conven
ient Intervals. Miss Munne'rjng, there
fore. returned to the lone star state
In "Glorious Betsy.”
Miss Mannerlng has u tall, willowy
figure, a distinguishing hearing, the
head of Faed’s “Evangeline," a face of
great sensibility, and the rare strange f
charm of gray eyes and dark hair; and
days In the south side theater, that
ctramplon of lady swimmers. Miss Kll-
lerman, whose aquatic feats In the na-
totorlums of New York-were good for
columns of pictures and descriptive
articles In the Sunday papers, will dis
port herself on a sea of canvas. This
Atm will be followed by a comical crea
tion entitled "The Milkman.”
In the north side theater a series of
funny Alms will be presented. "The
Freak Barber" will head the list. He
will be followed by the "Arabian Magi
cian." Those comical little fellows,
"The Terrible Kids," will conclude the
triple bill.
Pastime Palace Theater.
Vaudeville Is flrmly entrenched In
Atlanta now and to the efforts of Man
ager Holland, of the Pastime Palace
Theater, on Peachtree street, opposite
the Engllsh-Amerlcan building, some of
this credit Is certainly due. Beginning
Monday night, he will present the
fourth bill of high-class vaudeville
which has every afternoon and night
for the past three pocked the cool little
■ heater and delighted each audience.
The management has found It neces
sary to Introduce a ‘'continuous." One
begins In the afternoon at 1:30
o’clock and conlinues until five o'clock
In the afternoon. The second "coh-
tinuous" goes on at 7 o’clock and con
tinues until 11 o'clock.
Professor Rands and his educated
dog* have been secured In the East
for a special attraction, lflie Rowes,
Leonard and Rose, will lie an added
attraction. • This rlever comedy team
will present a one-act sketch entitled
"A Trip on the Derby." Miss Lee
White, a favorite since the opening
of the house, will remain another week.
She will he followed by the team of
Perry and White In a sketch, "The
La*t Farewell."
Master Roy Mitchell, the rblld cor-
netlst, will conclude the week's bill.
St. Nicholas Auditorium.
With the advent of warmer weather,
those devotee* of that healthy and
fascinating exercise of roller skating
have been flocking to the superb skat
ing rink of the Ht. Nicholas Auditorium
at Ponce DeLeon Park. For the past
two weeks the management has of
fered an extra Inducement to skaters
to attend its dally session by Intro
ducing during a performance a vaude
ville artist on skates.
Rut It is for the thrilling sensation
of skating, the nearest approach mortal
lias yet found to flying on wrings, that
the great crowds Journey dally and
nightly to this rink, and It la pure and
unalloyed skating that the manage
ment Is going to offer for a few weeks.
The building by day Is flooded with
sunlight and has .such perfect ventila
tion that It la equivalent to n mon
ster rink out of doors. At night the
thousands of Incandescent lights which
adorn the giant dome of the vaulted
roof shed a radiance of light upon the
floor. Miller's Military band furnishes
the music for tlic matinees on Tues
day. Thursday and Saturday and for
every night session during the week.
There I* a great deal appearing In
print at present regarding the universal
effort to check the Increasing ravages
of the dread disease of tuberculosis,
•commonly known us consumption.
A noted doctor who ha* made this
branch of human aliment his especial
study and who conducted the famous
open-air camps for consumptives In the
pine forests of Maine, In a recent Inter
view gave some very Interesting com
ments on this subject. He says: That
the treatment of consumption Is very
simple, but that It must be continuous
and diligently pursued by the patient,
and If this Is done It Is sure to cure In
the primary stages and frequently even
where far advanced. The main part cf
the treatment la exercise and the con
stant Inhaling of pure fresh air Into the
lungs In such a manner as to force It
Into the deepest cavity and air cells of
that organ.
This can be done by th* hhblt of
deep breathing drawing In the abdomen
and expanding the lungs to their fullest
capacity and then exhaling slowly. This
at flrst will cause a little dlxzlness, but
with a few days’ prattle* will entirely
disappear. He also advises the use of
a mucous membrane stimulant and says
for this latter there is nothing known to
science to equal th* oil obtained from
the pine tree. There Is now an oil of
this kind which Is condensed and puri
fied. It Is known to the profession as
the Concentrated oil of pine. The doc
tor gives hi* famous formula for tho
use of this oil Combined with a blood
stimulant and tonic. This form,,,
