TEN THEATERS MAY
BE DUNNING HERE
Present Outlook Points To
ward Plenty of Amuse
ment.
Will Atlanta soon boast of ten the
aters?
80 It would seem. And yet It was
only a few years ago that only three
were running In Atlanta.
The Grand, of course, will continue.
There will be two Bijous next season,
unless all signs fall. Work on the new'
Bijou at Jamas and Cone-sts. will be-
glir In a day or two. Uatiry
Give says that the t<d' Bijou
_ __ . if „ ip t*
continued as n theater, tho he has not
decided what kind of attraction* he will
nut on there. This will give Atlanta
two Bijous.
Likewise with the Orpheum. It 1 has
been stated several times that a new
Orpheum theater sill be constructed
and the report seems to have some
foundation In fact. One report says
further that this new Orpheum will be
located at the corner of Forsyth and
Bartow-sts.
Manager Kahn states that. If the the
ater I* built. It will not Irterfere wltl
the Orpheum now In operation. Weber
A Rush lmve a ten-year lens© on til
Marletta-st. Orpheum. The old house
can play burlesque and the new vaude
ville. says Mr. Kahn.
The Casino at Ponce DeLeon, the
Id Is Imur, the Pastime nnd the Star will
all continue next season. It Is presumed.
That's nine theaters. A little theater
n* run at White City last summer.
This aummer It Is contemplated to con
struct nnd run a large theater. That’s
ten.
Up to last summer Atlanta had only
one summer theater—the Casino. This
summer Atlanta will have vaudeville at
the Casino, high-class repertoire at the
Grnnd. musical comedy nt the Orpheum
and something else at the White City
Theater.
SAYS BULLDOG
WAS BIG AS CALF
"Your honor, I am not afraid of uTi
ordinary dog. but this bulldog is the
size of a calf," sold a witness In police
court Thursday morning in telling Re
corder Broyles of the riotousness of a
bulldog that rushed out onto the side
walk * Wednesday and severely bit
Claudo Booth, of 15 Cllfford-ft.
The dog belongs to S. BUverman. of
93 Ellls-st., and, according to the tes
timony, Is a fierce sped men. One of
Silverman's neighbors testified that the
bulldog recently attacked him and that
he only aa%*ed himself by ramming his
umbrella Into the dog’s mouth and
throat. He nlao declared that members
of his family are compelled to cross to
the opposite sidewalk In passing Sil
verman’s house In order to prevent be
ing bitten.
Judge Broyles flned Silverman $$.7f»
for allowing a vicious dog to run at
large and directed that he must either
keep tho dog closely confined In the
future or kill It.
