Charlee Frohmnn will preeent Otis
Skinner In a new play, 'The Honor of
the Fatnlly,’’ at the Grand Monday and
Tuesday nights and at a matinee on
Tuesday.
It Is needless to remind local play
goers that Otis Skinner Is one of the
foremost stare In the dramatic firma
ment of today. It Is on record to his
honor that he has never appeared In
any play without doing his utmost to
make that play deserve, even If It did
not command, success. And It Is yet
n)ore to his credit that whenever he has
been convinced of the Intrinsic worth
of the work he was presenting he has
labored heart and soul to achieve at
'least an artlstlc success. Courage, en
terprise and thorough studiousness
have ever been the dominant notes In
Otis Skinner's stage policy. And it Is
greatly to the credit of the American
public that he has won by the posses
sion of his gifts an enviable position
and reputation on the American stage
as well aa a large and enthusiastic fol
lowing among the sincere devotees of
,a|l that Is best In dramatic art. His
new play. “The Honor of the Family,"
Is a dramatisation of one of Balsac's
novels, or more properly speaking, It
has Its basis In one of the romances of
this great master of French Action.
Prominent In the supporting' company
will be Miss Percy Haawell. who for
the past few seasons has starred In “A
Royal Family," "The Darling of the
Gods" and other notable successes: Al
bert Garcia Andrews, for over Afteen
years principal comedian with Richard
. Mansfield, is also a member of the com
pany.
"Red Feather" Next Week.
"Red Feather," which will be eeen at
the Grand Wednesday and Thursday,
Is a reversion to straight opera, the
music by Reginald De Koven. book by
Charles'Kleln, author of David War-
hold's . success, “The Music Master,"
and of 'The Unn and the Mouse," and
lyrics by Charles Emerson Cook. There
nro at leoet a dozen musical numbers,
nil pleasing and many of them up to
the very best-work that De Koven has
ever done. Possibly with the Intention
of surpassing his notable ‘‘Robin Hood"
music. Do Koven was most ambitious In
his writing for the "Red Feather" score
and the result Is a glorious offering of
solos, duets, madrigals, marches, cho
ruses and ensembles. For the prlma
donna role Manager Galtea has engaged
Cherldnh Simpson, a singer of recog
nized ability, who Is an artist of alto
gether different caliber from the usual
run of comic opera stars. In the com
pany. which Is one of the largest on
tour, there are a number of well-known
comedians and a large and well-
schooled chorus. A feature of the local

Many dramatio crltios believe Mr. Skinner will oomo nearar to taking
the place of Richard Mansfield than any actor on the stage today.

A matinee will be given Thursday.
"Way Down East.”
"Way Down East," that old-time
friend with recollections enshrined in
laughter -and sentiment. Is abroad In
the land once again, and Is announced
for next Friday and Saturday at the
Grand.
The snow bltzsard, the gathering of
the surprise party, the old-faahloned
dinner and the sugar shed at the.lake
side are again emphasised by the man
agement In acenlc completeness.
'Way Down Eaat" embodies all that
la human and dramatic In rural life
and braatbea the pure atmosphere of
the country.

HAP WARD AGAIN
FOR WII AT BIJOU
Jolly Comedian Brings Re
vised Edition of His
Musical Comedy.
The announcement that "Not Yeti But
Soon.” which Hap Ward 'and his musi
cal farce company will present at the
Bijou next week, belongs to tho same
class of fun {hat first made-Ward'and
Vokes famous,' will give a pretty fair
Idea of the kind of show- to be ex
pected. It da a musical farce comedy,
two acta In . length, with dts action
placed at a sanitarium called "Bus-
houso-on-the-Hudson.’’ From this de
scription it is not'Hard to imagine that
there will be no-plot to annoy one, and
that thg every effort of Hap Word and
the company he has about him will be
devoted to creating laughter, something
that Ward has gained a national repu
tation for doing.
The musical program promises nearly
a score of new numbers, among which
some of the “hits" are said to be:
"Dolly From Dublin Town," "I Got
Next.” "Innocent Amelia,” “My Gal
Texas," "Think of the Girl Down
Home," "As Long an the World Goes
■Round,” "I Could Take a Chance With
You,” "Hello, Mallnda," and “A Trip
to Opera land." It Is promised that the
production will be found in every way
tho equal of anything Mr. Ward has
ever sthgod In Atlanta, and when one
considers that alt the Ward, and Vokes
offerings come under this promise. It
may be expected that "Not Yet But
Soon” will present a very sightly se
ries of stago pictures. In the cast of
principals, which E. D. Stair has en
gaged for Mr. Ward's support, will be
found Lucy Daly. Fred wyckoff. Lew
Kelly, Abe Frledland, Harry Parent,
Robert, Evans. Richard Barry, Caroline
Hooker, Mae Kilcoyne and Leslie Lyle.

Joy.
The "star,” Miss Bessie Abott, Is one
of the distinguished members of the
Conrled Metropolitan Opera Company,
nnd will give as her chief contribution
to the i tor ram the “Mad Scene." from
"Lucia,” a number glorified by the
finest efforts of the world’s Melbas,
Pattis and Sembrlcbs.
Miss Abott’s second number will be
the "Queen of Night." aria from Mo
zart’s lost great work. "The Magic
Flute," an opera replete with gracious
and highly characteristic melody. For
the tenor. Big. Ed. Castellano, there will
be two arias. In which mediocre tenors
flounder, but In which the glorious high
male, voice fairly revels. They are the
beautiful apostrophe to the “Heaven ’
(Clelo) and to the "Sea" (Mare), as ut
tered by Knxo. the Geonese noble tn
Ponchtellt’s dramatic dazzle. “La Glo-
conda.” -also, the exquisite romanza,
