ger of fame, until she has reached a
nosttlon than which no more Enviable Is
enjoyed by an American actress.
In her present vehicle Miss Robson
has far outshone her greatest success,
"Merely Mary Ann.” for It has offered
her a breadth of treatment that she has
not seemed slow to take advantage of.
and In It she has reached the summit of
her capabilities aa an actress.. The play
Itself Is said to glre Miss Robson ex-
ceptlonal opportunities and to exhibit
her talents In a new ,nnd totally unex
pected direction.' Mr. Pavls has taken
s theme that appeals, and of which an
Inkling may be gleaned from the title.

‘Coming Thro* the Rye”
Pleases its Audience
‘The Right of Way*’ Has
Two Popular Players
One of the most Interesting features
of Eugene W. Preabrey's dramatic ver
sion of Sir Gilbert Parke’a widely-read
novel, “The Right of Way,” which will
pay a vlatl to the Grand Chrletmas
day and Saturday for four perform
ances, matinee and night Friday and
Saturday, under Klaw & Erlanger’s
management, with the famous co-starit,
Guy Standing ami Thwidme Roberts,
In their celebrated Impersonations of
"Beauty" Steele and Jc<. IVrlugats, Is
the adroit manner In which It combines
tin- qualities of naturalism and ro
mance. If the terms of architecture
may be applied to the (Irdma for once,
It would be Justifiable to describe It aa
belonging to the transitional period.
Eugene W. Presbrey, tho adapter,
takes pride In the construction of his
flrst act. He has good right so to do.
It Is an admirable example of closely--
knit dramatic technique. The problem
he attacks Is that at ssttlng before the
playgoer In the briefest possible space
the case of a man whoso abnormal na
ture—abnormal In Its negation—has
brought disaster to his own peace of
mind and, been a disturbing Influence
on all who have been brought Into In
timate contact with him. This he ao
compllshes In a convincing manner.
The atmosphere of the entire act Is
laden with catastrophe. Before Char
ley Steele enters, his baneful Influence
Is keenly felt. His spirit of negation,
which questions everything funda.
mental In social older and religious
thought, hss bewildered, the mind of
his personal servant, alarmed his doc
tor, cast his friends adrift from recti
tude, and transformed hts wits Into a
creature- devoid of affection of even
emotion. It le a scene of moral and re
ligious shipwreck, when "much swims
on the waste waters far from help."
“Coming Thro’ the Rye” vastly en
tertained a good-sized audience at the
Grand Friday evening and will repeat
the effort Saturday at matinee and
night performances.
Former vlslte of George Hobart's
Jokes and Jingles. Interpreted by capa
ble comedians, seem to have • merely
ripened them for critical Atlanta tastes.
Roars of laughter greeted each' one,
particularly those allotted . to Tom
Waters, who played Nott, the tailor.
The other members of tho troupe are
exceptionally clever, and the whole per
formance went with a dash that was
Irreslstable.
One feature of the performance not
on the bills had the front row almost
down nnd out several times. It was a
young thing In the chorus, apparently
her flrst week out, to Judge by the hard
work she had to keep In the line. The
surprise of a chick on finding Itself out
of the shell Is mild In comparison with
this young person’s apparent amaze
ment at herself In tights before the
footlights. However, she stayed and
the act was, really one of the most en
tertaining of the whole evening.

The Four Huntings in
“Fool House” at Lyric
The newest edition of "The Fool
House," which the Four HuntlngsTiring
to the Lyric tor Christmas week, Is a
musical comedy In two acta with an
Intricate plot that Is both laughable and
Interesting. The piece Is from the pen
of Low Hunting, who Incidentally works
In a number of musical numbers that
are original and spirited. Thus It la to
a great extent a musical play, and, as
tho melodies serve to advance the story.
"The Fool House" Is of better grade
than the ordinary class of entertain
ments labeled "musical comedy."
The story' centers around Tommy
Rohblna, a college boy, who Is of a wan
dering nature. While away from home
Robblna’ father dies, leaving an estate
valued at a million dollars, In the hand
of Colonel Ipswich Jones, superlnt
ent of an Insane asylum called "The
Quick Cure.” ' There la one stipulation
In the will that Tommy Is to marry
Daisy Jones, the colonel's daughter, and
the money and estnte Is entrusted to
the colonel. The latter proves unfalth
ful to his trust by plotting with Din.
kelsplel, his body guard, to marry hts
daughter off to some one else, any one
who may happen to be convenient, thus
preventing Robbins from carrying out
the provision of the will. Colonel Jones
then Intends to convert the estate-to his
own use, desiring to enlarge his sanl
tarium.

GIVE PRACTICAL,
USEFUL GIFTS
Here’s n Christmas suggestion of
practical merit for our readers to think
ivar. Christmas la close at hand, and
the presents you ore to give must be
bought at once—there Is no time left
for putting off the Inevitable purchase.
If you wlah to select the beat gift
that man or woman can receive—some
thing practical, useful and acceptable—
give him or her something to wear.
And Just along this line, the range of
selection offered by Menter A Rosen-
bloom Co., at 711-2 Whitehall St., sec
ond floor, la broader than you may
think. The firm has splendid stocks of
furs clothing for men, women, and
children, lace and silk waists, umbrel
las, hats, shoes, and plenty of others.
And If your Christmas buying has
left your pocketbook depleted, the firm’s
system of liberal credit may solve the
problem which Is besetting everyone
this week nf carrying out their Christ
mas plana, and neglecting no one.
The practical, useful present Is by
nil means the moet acceptable one thle
year.
