The regular fall theatrical season of i Atlanta will be ushered In In earnest I next Wednesday, when the genial Tim Murphy, supported by an excellent company. Including Miss Dorothy | Sherrod, will present Mr. Murphy’s lat ist and by far most distinguished sue | cess, "Two Men and a Girl."

MeQuagh, cx-chnm- plon racer on skates of Canada, will race against Davies, champion of Geor gia, every night at 9:30 o’clock, and Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock. The local skaters will be given oppor tunities during the week to pit their skill, and one of the unique features will be pursuit races paced by bicy cles. That Interest will not lag Is In dicated by the fact that the manage ment has offered 3100 In prizes to the contestants. Racing has proved Itself to be one cf the most popular features of the auditorium program. Reckless Recklaw and Davies, who have drawn such record-breaking houses during the week, will appear twleo Saturday—at 5 o’clock In the afternoon and again at 9:30 o’clock In the evening. This pair has drawn lm-- mense audle.nccs. good, doing all kinds of work from rag. time to Juliet, and at last goes back to the dear old home. She Is a rollick ing girl from start to finish, that's all. Tho music that W. T. Francis has provided for the stot-y Is of that light, catchy and oilervescent order that nev er falls to please. Snltz Edwards gets all the fun possible out of the comical German character of Schmaltz, the wig-maker, who assists the stage struck girl (Lila Blow) In her efforts to shine a* a star, and his fun-making throughout is always legitimate. 0000000000000000000O00000O 00000000000000000000000000 THE ORPHEUM’S OPENING. mat e 'has n bee J n d «l!nwn t m m ,he h soi n .er^l Manager Ben Kahn, of the Orpheiun Mr Unrnhv Theater,,which.will open September 10, I Mr. Murphy and Miss Sherrod, tho I Grand will entertain tw o splendid audi ences at Its opening next Wednesday. “The RolMcking Girl.” There arc few outright musical com.

I During Its phenomenal run of ovor 1250 nights at the Herald Square Thc- Inter, New York city, "Tho Rollicking I Girl” established a standard that hus I gone on record for successful business. I The reasons for this success are cer- Itoln effervescence, snappiness and ac- |tlon both to tho story and music, which : good wine, seems to Improve with lags. The story Is that of a young and am. Ibltlous girl who gets stage struck and llenves her happy home. - She makes has tendered the use of his house to the "unions of Atlanta for their exer cises on Labor Day. The committee In charge of arrangements was unable to accept tho offer, however, as other ar rangements had been made. The Orpheum Is being given a new dress for the season, and'Is resplendent In white, with elaborate fresco work In the long lobby. Mr. Knhn announces a new Idea for his opening on September 16. Tho seat sale will begin on Thursday, Septem ber 12. and the first person to appear at the window and purchase a ticket will be given a free season ticket The money he uses In paying for his first ticket v.-lll be put In a frame, with the name of the first purchaser, and this will bo a permanent ornament In the foyer.

O ■ 00000000000O0O000000000000 Labor Day at the Pastime Theater, on Peachtree street, will be a gala event. The winter theatrical season begins throughout the country on that date, and this theater, with all the oth. era, will begin to put on heavier and larger hills. As topllners the management an nounces a special engagement of the Blrney sisters In songs and dances. Charles and May. “two men In black," follow In a line of minstrel talk that Is entirely original. This team has had long experience In minstrel work, and their Jokes, parodies and fancy dances will bo an entire "first part” within It self. Hugh Adler, an eccentric comedian, will make his debut before an Atlanta audience next week In n new net. Miss Lillian Starr, one of the most expert skirt dancers on the stage, will be for the first time In Atlnnta with this bill.

The wonder of these mar vels In pyrotechnics has been estab lished, for during: the week Just passed several exhibitions have been made at tho park, and on Labor Day half *a hundred of the shells will be fired Into tho air, and there will be startling re sults. The shells come direct from Ja pan and are decldedjy expensive. At night the grounds will be Illumi nated with hundreds of colored fires, and there will be frequent flights of balloons with fireworks attachments. And there will be aerial noises to re mind tho folk that Labor Day is being celebrated. Matthlessen'* band will render con certs, all of the devices will be In per fect operation, nnd tho day will be a hurrah for Atlanta's play ground. SCENE IN “THE BATTLE OF KING’S MOUNTAIN,” O o000000000000000000000000 0 O 0 GREAT BATTLE SCENE. O 0 O 0000000000000000000000000C A spectncular and historical reproduction of the "Battle of King's Mountain” and many of the events lending up to It will ho presented at tho circus grounds for three nights, beginning Monday night, La* bor Day. A brief story of the original battle Is here given: Tho battle of King's Mountain was fought October 7, 1780, !w»tween the British under Colonel Patrick Ferguson nnd the American patriots under John Sevier, Shelby, Camp* bell nnd others. Tha location of the battle ground. Is In South Carolina, obout 1ft miles from tho North Carolina line. Tho year 1780 was a dark one for the conge of Independence. Nearly the wbolo fcoutlicrn territory had fnllcn Into the !»?***, of the British. Lord Cornwallis was lu chnrgo of the forces of the enemy. A portion of east Tcnnssseo was then con* sfdenwl North Carolina territory, fto Gen- oral Rutherford called upon SovJcr nnd Shelby to bring over a force of men to help defend tho state. They quickly responded nnd, Joining McDowell, wero soon doing great dnmaga to tho Ilrltfsh forces. Although Shelby and Herler nod tbf rest of tho patriots lmd another enemy—the In dians—to contend with bemuse they bad become British allies, atilt they decided uot to wult for tho coming of Ferguson, but to go across and moot him. Inducing Colonel Campbell, of Virginia, to join them, they assembled at Sycamore Shock, then crossed the mountains, Joined the North nnd Nouth Carolina troops nnd those from Georgia and pushed forward In Labor Day Matinee Ushers in a New Round of Plays. Beginning with a special matinee In honor of Labor Day, the Bijou will commence Its sixth season on Monday, following the established policy and schedule of performances that has kept the "standing room only" sign almost a fixture for five years. The theater Is ready for the recep tion of the people. Skilled artists have gone oil over the house, and It will pre sent a most pleasing and attractive appearance. The color scheme Is en tirely new and decorations will win the approval of the multitude who belong to the big Bijou family. The staff of the house is practically the same, from the front to the stage, and Matthlessen will furnish the music. The opening bill will be a new drama, with musical Interruptions. The star, Eva Wentcott, Js In her prime, and at tracted considerable attention while ;i member of the cast of the original "Prince ot Pllsen" company. The story of "Anita, the Singing Girl,” Is a new and original one, con cerning the struggles of a girl of ten der years, little Anita, whose mother died when the child came Into the world, brought up by a cruel foster- father, Manuel Gomez, a Spaniard of low caste, who has taught her to de spise the real father she has never seen. Gomez Imbues her with the Idea that she must find her father, John Baird, and kill him * for supposed III treatment of her dead mother. In the first act, Anita Is seen, o girl of 16, singing In a roof garden restuu- wealthy youth, who becomes Infatu ated with her. nnd his sister, Leila Trerpont, a good Samaritan. Leila takes maternal interest in the girl and helps her to get better singing engage ments. Anita meets her own father, but does not know him, as he has as sumed another name. There are many brighter moments In the piny, and a rich fund of comedy re lief, It is said, with a score of catchy musical numbers. The company In cludes twenty-fire people, most promi nent among whom are Eva Westcott, In tho stellar role; William Francis Burke, Fred Montagu, W. F. Canfield, Pearl Seward, Henry J. Spanlerman, Molise Campion, Frank Melrose, Agnes Came ron, Roxle Lansing, Grace Moore, Dor othy Vernon, Leta Gilmore, John Downs, Harold Orlob, Joseph Hendley and others. search of Ferguson. On the sixth day of October, although It had been mining Incessantly, they marched till noon tho next day without rest. They were now hot on the trail nnd l»y Intereept- lug a scout, hen ring a massage from Fergu son to Cornwallis, urging him to rush rein, forccinenls to King’s Mountain, they locat* cd him. The battle began ahuqt 3 o'clock by the Americans charging up tn«* mountain and this was kept up without flinching, F«*rgu- refusing to surrouder, declaring. "I hold n position God Almighty can not drtvt ine from." Finally ho was shot by men of the Herler id Hhelhy regiments nnd died tnutnntly. he enemy shortly after his death surren dered. TUli victory hud n far-reaching effect. Cornwallis was thoroughly frightened nnd •treated, while It brightened the hopes of le despairing Americans everywhere.
