OLD FA V0R17ES MADE NE W
FOR CASINO NEX7 WEEK
Wills’ Musical Comedy Company will he
the attraction for the Ponce de Leon Casino
for next week. There will he two farce
Mils offered, the first of the week being
given over to “Sweet Sixteen” and the
closing half to “Muldoon's Picnic."
There will he entirely different pro
grams of musical numbers, and a series
of all new specialties In each of the farces.
The company has been at the Casino for
n week. It has offered two old farce com*
edy successes, with musical numbers and
with specialties. The attendance during
the engagement has exceeded any offering
since the first of the season this summer,
so there Is the evidence of Its success.
„ "Sweet Sixteen" will be the bill for the
first three days of the week. "Muldoon’i
Picnic" will close the week. These arc
two of the oldest comedies known. John
II. Wills will, however, evidence the fact
that a modern Idea or two thrown Into
one of these old affairs will bring about
a wonderful result.
The company has stood Its ground and
made good on the declaration that It does
not claim to he a two-dollar show at pop
ular prices, but that It Is a good popular
price attraction, nnd the equal of any sum
mer organization playing the circuits.
The sale of seats Is on at the Bijou
theater.
GEMS AND MONEY STOLEN
A TSEASIDE SUMMER RESORT
New York. Aug. 24.—Two men nnd
two women, who were membere of a
merry automobile party, at a seaside
resort last Monday night, were arrested
today by central office detective*.
They hope to find the persons whose
names they know, but of whose ad
dress they are Ignorant, to recover a
chamois bag containing diamonds
valued at 210,000, and a considerable
sum of money.
The detectives were put on the case
by Manager Bingham, of the Hotel
f'umberland, who went to headquarters
In an excited state of mind, saying that
a Mrs. Campbell, of St. Louis, a guest
of the hotel, had complained that her
jewels and money had been abstracted
from a trunk In her room during a
short absence from the apartment
Monday night.
Mrs. Campbell thought the Jewels
and money had been etolen by some
one In the hotel because she found
the door locked when she returned to
her room, and the key to her trunk
under the mattress of her bed, where
she kept It.
The detectives listened to Mrs.
Campbell’s story, and say they saw
discrepancies In It. Mrs. Campbell left
the hotel and the detectives are looking
for the ^members of the automobile
party.

“ WAITING A T THE CHURCH* MA Y
CAUSE BIG CHURCH SCANDAL
Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 24.—The 112,000
set of chimes given by H. C. Frick
to the Calvary Protestant Episcopal
Church, which Is said to be the finest
and costliest In the world, was played
un last night for the first time.
The program included everything
from "Holy, Holy, Holy" and "Come,
All Ye Faithful" to "Waiting at the
Church" and “Won’t You Come and
Splash Me.”
Some of the people at the fashion
able east end district are scandalised
and wondering what Mr, Frick will
say about It.
WITHDRAW PROPOSITION
TO BUILD IRON MILLS
Special to The Georgian.
Augusta, On., Aug. 24.—The pro
posed ten million dollar steel plant for
Augustn Is no longer being considered
anil George Wilson, of Scotland, the
capitalist who proposed to have the
construction work In charge, has with
drawn his proposition. A special
meeting of the olty council was held
last night to consider the proposition
and Wilson and the members could
not agree on the plans for the plant.
The city wanted all the work done in
five years’ time and said that If this
was not done all the rights granted
to him would be forfeited.
One more week and the first great
cannon cracker of the regular winter
theatrical pyrotechnic display will be
fired In Atlanta.
Only eight more days—to bs exact—
muit Intervene before the 1 Bijou, re
decorated. remodeled and generally
overhauled, will be thrown open to a
public that has watted long for the
day and the occasion. ,
Waited long not only because of the
fact that It will mark the opening of
the ever-popular and ajtractive play
house, but also because the day Is
Monday. September 2, and the occa
sion Is Labor Day. The openSh, by the
way, will be a matinee.
The interior of the house Is being
entirely redecorated and will, when the
finishing touches are put on, boast a
color scheme of old gold, cream and
gold, which is pronounced by know
ing ones a combination altogether nifty
and quite to the natty.
The aforementioned cannon cracker
that will nry the season open travels
under the name of “Anita, the. Singing
Girl."
AnJta Is neither kith nor kin of the
historic "Bertha, the Sewing Machine
Girl,” but quit# to the contrary, la a
happy mixture of mirth and melody,
with a liberal sprinkling of scenic ef
fects, animated and otherwise, with
funny fellows to furnish th# mirth and
merry, musical maidens to manage the
melody.
Little of Everything,
The bookings for the season are pro.
nounced the best in the history of the
theater. The schedule runs the whole
gamut from rollicking farces of the
Wells-Dunne-Harlan sort to thrilling
melodramas a la Blaney.
Because of the coming of several un
usually large and extravagant produc
tions it has been found necessary to
enlarge the stage and this will be noted
among the many other Improvements.
One of the events of the season at
the Bijou will be the presentation for
the first time in Atlanta of George
Ade’s new play, "Just Out of College."
The famous humorist is also represent
ed by his great comedy, “The County
Chairman."
Other well-known playwrights who
are represented on the season's sched
ule: Hap Ward, Charley Grapewln,
George Hobart, of "John Henry" and
"Dlnkelspler' fame, and Charles E.
Blaney, author of "Across the Pacific,
and probably the most versatile and
prolific of playwrights.
Among the stars booked for the sea
son are: Four Mortons, Happy Ward,
Yorks and Adams, “Young Buffalo,’
Frank Wrothe, Billy B. Van and Char
ley Grapewln—the laat named In a re
vised edition of "Mr. Pipp.”
Among the producing managers are:
E. D. Stair, George A. Nlfholls, Wells-
Dunne-Harlan. Charley Blaney, Han
lon Brothers, Phlom and Miller, Frank
McKee. Mlttenthal Brothers, and Hur
tig and Seamon.
Among the offering* are: "Just Out
of College," "The County Chairman,
"Superba,” "Black Crook,” “Me, Him
and I,” “Lena Rivers,” "Avakenlng of
Mr. Pipp," "Bankers and Brokers,”
"King of the Wild West,” and "Not Yet
But Soon.” The classes of productions
are: Drama, melodrama, comedy dra
ma, book plays, comedy, farce, musical
comedy and spectacular.
There will be but one dark night.
Good Friday. Matinees will be given
on holidays and regularly every week
on Tuesdays. Thursdays and Satur
days.
The theatergoing public will be
pleased to learn that the management
of the theater will be the same prac
tically, from lowest to highest officials.
Under the present management, the
Bijou has become one of the most pop
ular play houses In this section of the
country and laat season probably estab
lished a record for the number of
nights that it daunted the S. R. O.
sign In the face of the tardy ones.
