Peking, Oct. 1.—The dowager empress has Issued a decree declaring the government of China to be a constitutional monarchy. - Executive nnd political reform In China nnd the establishment of I representative government has been directly Impending ever since the re port of. the special commission of the empire was made public last fall fol. lowing the visit of a commission to the governments throughout the world.

It de pends upon the standpoint of the au ditor, for Mr. Caine's latest dramatisa tion Is either a very lurid melodrama or a very deep and soulful work of art take It either way. from the standpoint of the "man on the street." "The Bondman" Is an Inharmonious combination of 'The Old Homestead," "The Tale of Two Cities" and "The Lights o' Lon don." It ha* the farm scene, lacking only the village quartet; It has the substitute prisoner a la Sidney Carton; it has a very effective sulphur mine scene, with smoke and fiame, In tho third act, which would do credit to n Rlaney masterpiece, even to the smell of burning brimstone—or rubber— which rose from the demon flames. Tho lines nre often as mawkish nn appeal to the galleries as though designed for the ten-twenty-thirty houses—the sit uations as strained and impossible as any mnde-over-nlght melodrama ever perpetrated. But, In spite of all this, the play has strength, though not In the degree that 1s found In the book from which the dramatisation 1* made. It grows In In terest toward the end, and there nre moment* when the story grip* one with Its Intensity. The company Is a fully capable one. even down to the two children who brighten the opening scenes In the Isle of Man. But Mr. Lnckuyc Is a distinct dis appointment In the leading role. Tho eyes which made his Svengall famous are still In evidence, but Mr. Lackaye Is taking on too much fat for a role In which sentiment ploys such a large part, and hla love scenes with Greebu seem almost grotesque at times. In the dramatic scenes of the later act* he Is more at home and In the sulphur mine scerte he rises to his best work. Sydney Ayres, ss Michael, Is more than pleasing, and Miss Ferguson, ns Greeba, while not a powerful emotional actress, Is fresh and pretty enough to make amends. Two excellent bits of character work arc the "Grandfather" of Hnl (le Forest nnd the Father Fer rati of Ethelbert Hales, the latter giv ing a splendid portrayal of the drunken priest and his new determination. The play Is handsomely mounted and the scenic effects are unusually elab orate, especially the scene In the Si cilian mines, where the convicts are seen at work with the yellow vapor from the mines hissing nnd steaming In the background. The engagement ends Tuesday night. G. D. G. "Th* C*ndy~Kid’’ at Bijou. Ray Raymond ns "The Oandy Kid" delivered the goods to n packed house at the Bijou Monday night, and from footlights to gnllerle* received a warm reception at the hands of an enthusl astir audience. The play Is one of th# liappy-go lucky, please-all-lhe-crowd kind and to this end It Is a mixture of music, dancing and humor, with a little pathos on the side. The plot Is not so deep that you get nervous between acts try. Ing to fathom the "villain's" schemes, but the plot’s there—at times. But "The t’andy Kid," he of the stick-candy tie, Is the whole show. Ray scored n big hit with the crowd and the apparent ease with which he overcome small difficulties, such as whipping single-handed six sailors and a few other ruffians, made the gallery god* hilarious. Miss Wanda Ludlow as leading lady Is a clever little actress. number of specialties were ren dered hy the male quartet and were repeatedly encored. H. D. W. Parslfol” at Grand. One of the most striking scenes to be witnessed In the many presented to Martin ft Emery's production of "Par sifal," which comes to the Grand Wed. nesday and Thursday, is the transfor mation of the magician Kllngtor's cas tle to the magnificent flower garden vision of beauty nnd entrancement The whole magical change Is so deftly arranged In reality that It seems quite tn keeping with the apparent occult powers of the arch-wizard, Kllngsor. Owing to the unuzual length of the performance, the curtain will rise on It one of the rule* of the performance, and the management gives the assur ance that the rule will be atrlctly en forced. that every one must be seated before the theater 1* darkened, which means before the music begins. Late comer* will not be shown to their seats until th* conclusion of the act. Warn. . Ing of the approach of commencement performance here. • IH8ttM(H8(l6(l(ltt time will be given by trumpeters Ih the lobby entrance. The Thursday mailnes will begin at 8 o'clock. Vaudeville at Orphetim. The week's bill at the Orpheum made good with a rush und a whirl Monday night. Despite the many counter attractions, chief of which, of course, was tho cir cus, the preffy vaudeville house waa well filled—and If anyone regretted the choice of tho Orpheum the regrets were well concealed. From, the first of the performance to the last, from the clever act of the Voiding*, aerial artists, all the way through a varied nnd entertaining pro gram and past the moving pictures, the bill was entertaining, unique and ex traordinary. A more delighted, appreciative nu dlence rduld hnrdly have been gathered together under a roof—the popular playhouse was converted for the while Into nn arena of condensed Joy nnd unndultered, unbridled enthusiasm. The management promised a bill equal to the first one, and thnt opening bill was an eye-opener. The manage ment made good the promise. It quite a* good— maybe a little better, Anyway, It was all right—all of It Mr. and Mrs. Gene Hughes In a play let, "Suppressing the Press," a unique bit, bright as a new dollar and amusing from curtain to curtain, made the dis tinctive hit of the evening. Frank Whitman, the dancing violin ist; Marlon nnd Pearl, eccentric acro bats and grotesque comedians; the Valdlngs, aerial artists; the Melnott* twin sister nnd George Whiting, singers and dancers, all are "vnudevllllans" of unusual merit. And these nre not all by several. The bill will he presented the week, performances every night and matinees dally, beginning Tuesday. J. D, O. South Sid* Opens. With nn audience packed to the doors, Atlnnta’s newest theater, the South Side, at No. 44 Bast Hunter street, wns opened Monday night with a delightful vaudeville program, which pleased those gathered tor the first performance. The management has more than redeemed every promise. All of the acts were clever; they were given with a snap and It wns a large and satisfied audience which left the performance. Harrison, West and Har. son, featuring LnPetltf Harrison, the smallest comedian on earth, made an other hit. Professor Willis, the light ning crayon artist, was all that his advance notices had declared and he was enthusiastically applauded. Alt- ken nnd son, the celebrated equilibrists, whose work at the Pastime lost week good, were nt their best. Carl and Carl, In "The Twentieth Century Tramp." proved their great versatility hy giving a comedy that was a laugh from start to finish. There will be mat inees dally and night performances throughout the week. At th* Pastlms. For clever sleight of hand, mind reading and legrrdermaln, S. E. Rich ard* and company, at the Pastime, In Peachtree street, certainly have a clear title. Monday afternoon and again at night this clever artist baffled nnd de lighted large audiences by his neat work. Calling witnesses from tho au dience, he had them to bind him. only tq release himself in an Instant; had them to hold him, only to get free. J. C. Murphy, the bone soloist and stump speaker, made a hit from the first and proved hla right to the title of champion bone player of the country. His stump speeches were both witty and to the point. Harry Howard, the celebrated comedlnn, did an Irish act fresh from Broadway, In which he sang a number of new songo, both of which went well. The bill was closed by Charlie Coggins, the buck and wing dancer. ( “Dream City" This Week.

This Is for the last quarter, and as there Is no other quarter before the state prohibi tion law goes Into effect It 4s really the very last day.
