ORPHEUM’S OPENING GIVES
REALLY GOOD VAUDEVILLE,
AND DRAWS BIG CROWD
Atlanta Receives New
Theater With Pleas
ure.
ft li hnrd to wiy Juat what plea ami the
crowd most nt the o|>eufiig of the Orpbeum
M"inlay night—the really good vaudeville,
the appearance of the redecorated thea
ter. or the tight of bo many friends In the
audience. For the performance wua even
above expectations, the theater proved a
pleasing surprise to Its first vlyltors and
the audience was made up of those same
theatergoers who are to be found on first
nights at the Grand.
Atlanta seems to like good vaudeville, to
Judge from the applause which greeted
every turn on the bill of eight numbers.
From the dancing of Hathaway and Siegel,
dear through the big stunts of Francella,
the strong umn. and then mill! 'the Inst
moving picture had given place to “good
night, the crowd seemed to enjoy It.
There was not a number on the bill which
was really a weak one.
The little thcater—lt’s not so little, either,
for It seats a surprising number—was fill
ed from the orchestra to the last rows,
and every Imx was occupied by a party,
many of the' 1k»x holders being prominent
!H»opJe of lbe social set. The house had,
been given every finishing touch, and was
very attractive in Its dress of old Ivory,
gold and white. The orchestra, led by
f'barlcn Liley, was In evening dress, and
the ushers were clad In snowy white. In
the foyer, masses of palms and banana
plants gave a cooling appearance, while
on the right and left the Turkish smok
ing room and the refreshment parlor were
filled with a crowd durlug the Intermis
sion.
Manager lien Kahn, In charge of the‘At
lanta house, did the honors nt the entrance,
nnd received congratulations smilingly. Mr.
Hush, of Weber A Rush, the New York
managers, was present for the opening.
Eight Good Acts.
But the show. Well, If any better
vaudeville has l»een seen In Atlanta It
had escaped the memory of those who
talked over the show on the way home.
"If the Orpheum keeps up this standard.'
was the verdict, "vaudeville will be a go
this winter."
Perhaps the greatest hit on the bill was
Francella. the strong man, who Joggled
canuon balls and marine torpedoes, nnd
closed his act hy carrying n 220-pound wom
an, seated In a chair, about the singe ill
hla teeth. Francella Is about the biggest,
brawniest atbleto who has ever visited At
lanta.
Mr. nnd Mra. Perkins Fisher have a
very pretty comedy act, which was per
haps a little too quiet In Its humor for a
fun-loving, rollicking audience. Kd Gray,
the "tall tale teller/* sprang enough Jo^es
about Hogan to supply n comic nlmiinnc for
ten years, and many of them were very
good. Rut Orth and Fern, In their sketch.
"Sign That Rook," made one of the hits
of the evening. Roth of them are clever
••• medians, especially the one In the red
wig, and they received repeated recalls.
Bicycling on 8tilts.
For what looks like a foolhardy chance
of breaking a neck or two. the unlcycle
riding of mil. Cherry and Hill !• the limit.
They frisk nbout' the stage on a single
wheel with a long steel rod on top of It
that places the rider In the flics, and a
fall would mean trouble, for the fa Hen.
It Is something a little beyond the usual,
bicycle stunt.
The Misses Delmore do some acceptable
singing and dancing, and one of them
proved herself more than ordinarily clever
with several Instrument!. Their costumes
••n their final appearance were among the
daintiest seen In vaudeville here.
The moving pictures from the klneto-
graph made n hit, even to people who are
tired of the usual thing In that line. Very
few of the audience failed to stay until
the last picture was shown.
And this Is worth mentioning to those
who know the average vaudeville—there
was not n line, not a situation, thnt was
unclean, suggestive, or offensive to the re-

VOICE OF CONSCIENCE
SENT HIM BACK TO PRISON
Washington. Sept. 17.—The.voice of
conscience, after four years In which It
dinned In the ears of a man, the mem
ory' of an attempted crime against the
life of another, yesterday prevailed and
a young soldier stationed at the Wash
ington barracks Is now behind the bars
of the second | reclnct police station,
awaiting the word from a little place
called Roxham, near Montreal, that will
take him back to serve out on unex-
pired sentence and suffer publicly again
the disgrace his action brought.
The soldier was Daniel Glass, of i’ap-
taltt Archer’s command. The soldier
came to Captain Archer today and told
hint his story. Acc'X-%ng to this. Glass
lived In Roxham. One day he went on
a terrible spree. When he had recov
ered he found that he had attempted
the life of his cousin, Frank Miller, by
first burning two barns and then shoot.
Ing at the man several times.
Glass was arrested nnd locked up In
St. Johns und after several weeks he
escaped with another prisoner by saw
ing his way out of his cell. Glass went
to Foil Hlocuni. where three years ago
he enlisted In the hospital corps of the
army and was ultimately ordered to
Washington.
In telling his story, Glass looked and
acted like a man who was relieving
himself of a heavy burden. He de
clared that all through the long days
and nights that have followed his es
cape the memory of his deed has never
allowed him to have peace.
