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. BIJOU*S SEASON PROMISES 'MOSI AN\ OLD THING;' “ANITA” IS THE OPENER Good Line of Attrac tions Booked For the Year. “ 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.

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. Man Behind the Door. The theater remains under the direc tion of Jake Wells, and H. L. Cordoza, 00000000000000000000000000 O 0 O (SRANT PARK CONCERT.
