Stock Co. Offers English Play. When Jerome K. Jerome, the prolific wrltef and eminent English humorlet, wrote' “Mile Hobbe," It was agreed by the. press and public that one of the strongest blows agalnet the aulfragettea ever conceived had been executed. Thla delightful society comedy will be the bill for the Fawcett Stock Company, at the Grand, for next week, with the uaual matlneea on Wednesday and Saturday. The play deala with a strong-minded woman who thinks that mere man la the cause of woman’s degradation and that all of her aex la downtrodden as a result. Miss Henrietta Hobbs Is a strong- minded woman In every sense of the word. She believes man to be coarse and brutal, unworthy to come In con tact with the more elegant, refined and sensitive natures of women. She preaches this theory to two of her friends, with the result she persuades Mrs. Perclvnl Klngsenrl to leave her husband and Miss Mllllcent Farey to break off her engagement to her sweet, heart. George Jessup, nnd the three live together In club Ilfs. The men are naturally enraged, and while talk ing over the matter a friend of Klng- searl comes Into the club, and they tell him of their predicament. He Is a traveler and man of the world, nnd they book with him a bet that he will not kiss Miss Hobbs within a month, the wager to be a dinner ut Delmonl- co’s. Miss Hobbs calls at the Klngsearl home nnd mistakes Wollf for Perclval, the husband of her friend, while he pretends to mistake her for a maid. In 'order to* teach her friend a lesson 'she Invited him to call upon her, think ing to prove she "husband” a worth less man. He does, and many ridicu lous things happen as a result of mis taken Identity. Wollf Klngsearl drops his betting book during the call and she discovers the wager. The next day she calls on him at his yacht to return hla book that has caused the trouble. He takes advantage of a dense tog which comes up to tell her a few things In regard to the truth about the way she Is acting, and to point out that all men are not so despicable as she would paint them. He succeeds In convincing her. Mrs. Klngsearl goes back to her husband. Miss Farey renews her engagement with her sweetheart, while Miss Hobbs fglla In love with Wollf Klngsenrl and S ' I ends happily. They all find out at life Is not worth living without men, and the play Is well rounded out. | r—,— Postmasters and Carriers. ■ Washington, July <•—O. N.

It haa been difficult to secure vaudeville l>ecauae of the opening of ao many Baat- ern vaudeville tbeatera. and the opening of the glimmer parka In and around New \ork and other larger cities. The general man agement, however, secured the acts making up the bill fo« a. tour of four weeks, em bracing Birmingham, Atlanta, Richmond and Norfolk. The players will come to At lanta directly from Birmingham, where 4hey are scoring strong and well this week. Of course, there win be cotnedjr. There would hardly be the right to call the at traction vaudeville without comedy, and In that department the bill will be particu larly strong, for one of the cleverest mono logue artlsta In vaudeville will be a fea ture, and there will be a pair of comedians, who are reckoned high In the Hat of suc cessful funsmlths. And there will be eou- hrettPH who will create much of the mag netism the bill will develop. Huston and t’nmpaay, conceded to be nmong the very best comedy Jugglers, will Ih> one of the nneclal numbers. There Is much ’fun brewed from their efforts to han dle billiard balls, hats and caps, and all manner of small articles that seem to have been trained to perform.

The bill will go on for the week, start ing Monday night, and with the skilled assistance of Mathlessen’s orchestra of flf- teen pieces. •• looks as If the Casino will l»e a deoldedlv popular place during the vaudeville week. 00000000000000000000000000 0 O 0 PA8TIME THEATER.
