Llrbler A Co. presented thl* play an entire sea son at Wallack'a theater. New York, and It scored a most remarkable tri umph both for the actor and the play wright. A, "Squaw Man." Easterner* have always been told. I* a Western production who occupies a cellar even In the wilds of Western social scale. Few playwrights would perhups have chosen such a character for a hero, but Mr. Hoyle has done it, and done It sue. cessfully, too. HI* hero may be an out cast from 'Society, but he Is a man for all that, and such a man Indeed as will not lose prestige even for a matinee Idol like Mr. Jewett. The story told by the play Is full of throbbing Interest. Its glimpse* of English country life In the llrst act Is followed by a picture of Western ranch life, that Is both pleasing and naturul.

"The Grand Mogul,” a musical com edy In three acts, book by Frank Plx- ley nnd music by Gustave Luders, Is the designation of the new work which Klaw"& Erlsnger will offer Monday and Tuesday at the Grand, Introducing the well known comedian. Frank Moulan, and an excellent company of 100 peo ple especially selected for their vocal and comedy ability. Plxley nnd I.u- ders have constructed In "The Grand Mogul” a logical, consistent story with bright- catchy music of a higher order ttyui Is usually found In modern mini- cal comedy. Tllclr work Is a finished artistic product, without specialties, Interpolations, transformation scenes or burlesquu features. The environ ment Is picturesque, the scenes being located at Hbnnlulu and on the Island of Inde In the South Seas. The story I concerns the adventaro* of a' party of Americans who are car ried by balloon from Honolulu to the Island of Inde and dropped, down among comic opera conditions. Frank Moulan plays the role of an American circus side-showman who find himself called upon to exercise the functions and prerogatives of the Grand Mogul of Inde, and ha has never been (Ittcd with a more congenial and effective part. George Moore le nn Amerlcnn naval officer In love with the daughter of the governor, Maud Lillian Bcrrl. Edith fit.

At the Bijou next week Miller and Plohn will present a spectacular pro duction of the classic extravaganza, ••The Black Crook.” The old-time melo dramatic zpectacle has been given an entirely new dress, new music has been provided and mddern dancing has sup planted the almost obsolete ballets. As to the story, however, but little change has been rndde, and the original Idea conceived by Charles Barras remains the plot of the play, nit hough the ver sion used Is the one that was played In Boston for the revival of “The Black Crook” In 1876. The story wljl bear telling anew. Ru dolph and Amina are a pair of youthful lovers. Amina Is also loved by Count Wolfensteln, a villainous nobleman, who has employed as a henchman Hertzog. called the “Black Crook,” from a de formity, and from the fact that he al ways dresses In the most somber of hues. Hertzog has made a compact with the devil, whereby he la to gnln a prolongation of his life In return for tho corruption of human souls. *‘A single soul a single year.” Is the compart. He seeks to destroy Rudolph and to bring Amina to his master. Stalacta, the fairy queen. Interposes In their behalf, however, and Hertzog and his villain ous employer, Wolfensteln, meet with the same fate they had Intended for Rudolph nnd Amina. This story has given plenty of oppor tunity for scenic display and the Intro duction of novel musical numbers, nn advantage which. It Is said, has been fully appreciated by the present man agement. New scenery has been pro vided from the studios of Frank Dodge, electrical effects by Klelgl Brothers, and a wealth of marvelous dresses from several prominent costumers. As an added feature, acts have been provided, Including the Donazetta family of acro bats; Pierce and Roslyn, In a foreign costume singing act, and the Sylves ters, In an English novelty. . ooooooooooooooooooooooowo 8 COLLEGE PLAY8 POPULAR. 8 SGOOOOOOOOOOOO0OOO0OOOijaOO The college play has been an Import ant factor In the amusoment field for the past two years. A natural ques tion provoked by this-circumstance Is summed up In the word—why? A man who has seen “Stronghcart,” Tho College Widow” or “Brown of Harvard,” which comes to tho Grand on Wednesday next for a two nights and Thursday matinee engagement will not hesitate for the proper reply. mlrt.hinmnn The nroduc on has wl11 Hft y th ® wllW play exists, and r_PfArtf.tfc 1 ■tluJp ,H patronized and admired because It 5SUS* l ?r& r SlJ h lJ£!2!. e B SE as*”™* ym \ th - " re “ d r? hood ' Mfcause It presents scenes and charac ters kith tvhlc-h he Is familiar from present or recent associations; to the u)d ninn It revives memories of the most cherished day*' of his life. One of the other sox. be she school girl, old maid or matron,' will have an oqunlly ready reply. Among tho strongest reasons for the college play's popularity Is tho fact that It 1* clean.

Richard Anderson. Tho original cdst and ensemble of 100 singers and comedians accompa nied by a complete orchestra of trained musicians will bo seen In this city at the Grand Monday and Tuesday nights with matinee Tuesday. 0OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO a "UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES." 0 O a OOOOOOOO0OO0OOOOOOO0OOOOOO "Under Southern Skies" wo* the at traction at the Grand Friday night. "Under Southern Skies" could hardly be characterised as a "to-havc-and-to. hold" attraction. It did not have many In the audience, nnd It failed to hold a large ahnre of these. The play consists of four acts, the Intermission between the second and third acts dicing the last chance for a visit to a life-saving station. The cast consists of a, braco of luckadulslcal heroes, a well-dressed villain, a frog- In-your-throat heroine, several minor grndes of heroes, heroine* und vil lains, and a number of pistols. "Under Southern Skies" Is supposed to be typical of the South. The ver dict of the audience was that It might make a typical Southern grave If It was seven feet deeper under Southern skies. A specialty or two Is about nil there Is to commend the play. The company is better than the play.

Each sylla ble of the pretty Japanese story In the Puccini opera Is clearly understood. There need be no surprise at finding such results when It Is known that Henry W. Savage turned his stnrs over to Hermann Klein, who put them through three months of rigorous train ing In English, same as ho did for the Savage production of "Parsifal." WOULD COMBINE CITY AND COUNTY That the city nnd county should be consolidated under one government, and that the city should Inaugurate a sys tem {of Insuring stores and residences. Is the suggestion advanced by ex-Coun. oilman Eldred S. Lumpkin in connec tion with the prdposed appointment of a commission for the purpose of r* vising tho city’s charter. “The oily of Atlanta Is large enough," says Mr. Lumpkin, “and Includes so much of Fulton county that Mno longer see the necessity for two separate gov ernments. We only need one tax col lector, no sheriff, one chief of police, etc., und by this method the expemv* of both the city and the county would be greatly reduced.” Mr. Lumpkin also favors the plan adopted by some cities of Insuring property against loss by Are. the prop' erty owner to' pay the city a lire pre mium when he puys his taxes..
