<l'HJ£ ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1U0M. 7 NEXT WEEK AT ATLANTA’S THEATERS Eleanor Robson In a New Play Few actresses who have reached the Binnacle of aucceaa have done ao with ,uch ease and with auch aurety aa haa Mlaa Eleanor Robson, the dainty young toman Who brings her latest successful olav "Vera, the Meillum.” to the Gram! Tneadnv and Wednesday nights, with matinee Wednesday, It la but eight years since Miss Rob •on entered New York unheralded and unsung. Within three months from her •DPearance there she was appearing In company with two of the biggest stars of that period. Otis Sltlnner and Sarah rowel) Le Moyne. Within another sea. non She wns leading lady for Kyrle Bel. low In “A Gentleman of France,” the next season she wns a star In her own light In "Audrey,” and from that mo- mint she has steadily gone up the lad. 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. The supporting - company Includes Miss Minnie Radcllffe and George Le- Guere. who, both In their light super- niece.

Usckett. will piny nn engages meat of four nights and n matinee, when be will present two nf his most surceasful plays. "The Prisoner of Zen da” and "The Crisis.” Mr. Knckett's recent revival of Sir Anthony Hope's thrilling romnntlc novel at bis own theater In New York proved onei of the most notable events nf the present metropolitan season. It demonstrated most emphatically that the popular tasta for the romantic story la still strong and positive, ami Its exrltlug Incident and dashing hero Hfedsaptlful prlnpaaMnaMBmatHl^H i the enlnet' ire In recent your.

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. mans ISSSS *c!!-!!.

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. ilar A Hall, prominent members of the raxama producing mnnngers' nrofos- will present their "Morning Glories” »t the Bijou during Christiana week, and ■ nulnr schedule of pet matinee Harder A Hall, eitrarai •ion, A SCENE IN “THE FOOL HOU8E” AT THE LYRIC FOR CHRISTMAS WEEK.

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. Important Changes In CENTRAL OF GEORGIA Railway Schedules.
