at the Bijou, “The Candy Kid." with

There la the whole thing In a nut-
,nell. The neweat theater, aa well aa
the handaomeat theater In all the
South, and with but very few equal*
nnvwhere, la about to be dedicated
to the people of Atlanta. After all the
miie alarm* about theaters, la It not
pleaalng to note that the man who first I
diclared there would be a new theaterI
here hae really kept his word. And Mr.
Wells has taken a great personal In
terest and pride In this houae. It Is the
seme of perfection, perfect In every de
tail. from It* back stage wall to the
front street. There I* every modern
detail of progress In thing* theatrical
about the theater, and It la a perfect
dream of loveliness all over.
The scheme of the house was aug-
sslted to his architect by the Southern
manager who will have twenty-two
theaters under hi* command Thursday
night. Mr. Welle spent the last two
rears In visiting the larger cities, In
jecting theater*, and following the
construction of several houses he was
personally building. He then put Into
the Lvrlc everything that should go In a
theater that was Intended to be one of
the handsomest places of amusement In
the country.
A description of this house will fol
low shortly, for It will be of Interest in
the entire Southern country. A* a mat
ter of detail every dressing room Is fin
ished exactly a* In the front of the
house, and of the opening attraction
there Is much that Is Interesting. It la
a musical comedy drama. It tells a
.nod story In which "The Candy Kid”
Is the hero, and It Introduce* a score of
musical Idea*. In which a pretty chorus
nil! be in telling evidence.
The attraction wa* one of the clever-

"At the French Ball.”
Like a memory of the past, with a
touch of sadness over the Joys that
were, was the play at the Grand Friday
nlght. Fanny Rice, once the toast of
the mimic world, the favorite of our
childhood days, wa* back again nnd
with her were several other* who gave

KAISER DIDNOT
GO ON FRENCH SOIL
PARIS. Sspt, 12.—France I* wonder
ing todav what It was that finally
dissuaded Einperor William from his
announced plan of making a flying visit
to French territory. The Emperor ar
rived at Altenburg last night. The
kaiser even proceeded to a cottage built
for the vlelt to Napoleon the third,
within one kilometer of the frontier..
He plead a lateness of the hour as an
excuse for not going further. It l«
believed here that If the kaiser con
cluded his visit II might some way rom-
plicate the present strained relations
behind France and Germany.
What promises to be a splendid ly-
ceum,eour*e la th# series of ten at
tractions which th* committee of the

for the coming season. The ssle of

Roysl Hungarian orchestra, which won
the Bret prise medal In competition
with many others at the famous Co

give* promise of being one of the real
events of the Bijou season, for It is
possessed of every qualification to
crowd the popular play house with
representative gatherings at every per
formance.
This company will not come a* a

the comical and original laugh-produc.
Ing successes of Charles Howard, and
recall with great pleaaure the delight
ful entertainment contributed by Clara

that success la Id be repeated by the
same combination, for all th* princi

chorus that proved magnetic every

all of next week.
Charles Howard Is undoubtedly on*
of the foremost Hebrew comedian* on
the American stag*. There Is no need

comedian hae been before th* public
for a great many year* and ha* b**n
