I 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.
