TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5f. AMUSEMENTS. THE GBAXD—Dark. THE BIJOC-Tufwlny matinee nnd night. **A Contented woman." THE OBPHEtTM—Tuesday matinee and night, hlgti^lan vtudevllle. At the Bijou. The usual Monday night audience witnessed "A Contented Woman," from the pen of that premier of American satirists/- Charles Hoyt, and enjoyed it —every word. The play was well taken care of In every part, no one being in more distinction than another, except perhaps Charles P. Morrison, as Cut ting Hints, whose Interpretation of the lines of his part was Immense. Nearly everybody is familiar with the theme of the play, which la “re form” In politics, and in the present- day condition of politics the revival of the play Is peculiarly apropos. “It Is to laugh” from curtain to curtain. It's rather an innovation to inter sperse vaudeville In such a play, but It Is done this week at the Bijou, and the stage director gets away with It In such a subtle way that It does not jar on the play. And the vaudeville is about the best ever seen In Atlanta, especially the clog dancing of “die klelnle Deutsche madchen.” the Thompson sisters, who exhausted themselves long before they did the audience. Here all the week, with, besides the regular matinees, a special Christmas matinee Wednesday. E. E. G. At the Orphtum. The offering for Christmas week at the Orpheum Is In harmony with all the jubilant celebration that Is preva lent at this season of the year. The en tire bill Is thoroughly good and is pulled off with vlm nnd vigor. There was a good house Monday night nnd this fact seemed to enthuse the actors and everybody had a good time. Maybelle Meeker was selected to start the show. She Is billed as a "Novelty Contortion Dancer," and is one of the best In the business. Elsie Hrrvey and the Field boys are entertaining and have a stunt that makes one think that its fifteen minutes snatched from a minstrel show. “The Three Trouba- dors" all have good voices and work well together. "How to Get Rid of a Mother-in-law.” by Mack, Monroe and Lawrence, is entertaining. The Laba- kans and their little dog. whose name Isn't i»n the program, proved one of acrobat*, but the do* has It a shade on them both. At Carleton, “The Skin. nv Guy," has a laughable monologue act; Miss Anita Battling has a good Juggling performance, and the motion pictures are of a good variety. Christmas at the Grand.
