Theatrical Man Tells of Good!
Things He Got For Lyric
and Forsyth.
Suppose you were told to mats*—not
catch—BOO flah end cell by I o’clock
Monday night! You’d be In some Quan
dary. wouldn't you? Well, you can un
derstand the feelings of Glen Smith,
the property man at the Lyric theater,
who Is Just now bothered about this
sort of a piscatorial order. And that
Isn't all. These dot) must be plckerol,
and It Is not every man who knows a
pickerel when he sees one.
The flsh and eels are going to be used
In the first act of ’’Teas of the Storm
country.’’ which will be the offering aT
the T.yrlc all of next week. This Is the
play In w hich Miss Emma Bunting, the
little leading lady, Is going to be starred
the coming season. It Is a dramatisa
tion of the book by Grace Miller White,
and Rupert Hughes, the playwright, has
made a remnrkably fine play out of It.
Mite Bunting Is cast for, the part of
Test, a role which will afford her
splendid opportunity for the display of
that style of acting which has endeared
her to a countless number of theater
goers In Atlanta.
When Stage Director Leonard wept
over the play to find out what "propu”
were necessary, he called In Property
Man Smith and gave him Instructions
concerning the flsh and eels. In the
play they are to be drawn up In nets
by the fishermen, and It Is proposed to
make tht and the scene as natural as
possible.
"Five hundred flsh and eels!” ejacu
lated the property man when he heard
the else of the order. "Don’t you mean
five flsh. Mr. Leonard?;’
"No; I mean 600, and,they want to
he pickerel, too; and-don’t forget to
have plenty of eels also.” and the stage
director busied himself with other af
fairs. He knows that a property man
can make anything, so he doesn't have
to worry about how “props” are con
structed.
Property Man Smith looked wise and
said no more. He knew it was up to
him to deliver the goods, and,thus far
ho hasn't failed to produce what the ex
Igencles of the case demand. Immodl
ately he divested himself of his overalls
and made a bee-line for the Carnegie
library, which Is only a couple blocks
from the Lyric. There he called for all
few minutes he was as familiar with
the pickerel family as If he were old
Isaac Walton himself.
Now he is building flsh In the base
ment of the theater and says that by
the time specified he will have all the
flsh and eels that anybody could possl.
bly want
The first rehearsal of "Teas of the
Storm Country" was held Tuesday,
was under the direct supervision of
A. Schiller, the producing manager, who
Is In the city for the purpose of getting
the play In shape for presentation Mon'
day evening. Rupert Hughes will ar
rive In Atlanta Friday and will be pres,
ent at all the rehearsals from that lime
until the play's premiere. Many per
sons prominent In the theatrical circles
of this country will attend the opening
performance. They wish to see Just
what sort of play Mr. Hughes has pro.
vlded for Miss Bunting.
In her tour Miss Bunting will appear
In only the high prloe houses. Atlanta
theatergoers, therefore, will hare an
advantage over the rest of the country,
as they will have an opportunity of
seeing "Tees of the Storm Country" for
a whole week at popular prices.

After a vacation of ten days, spent In I
New York and Richmond. Hugh Car-
dosa Is home again, and Is working I
with new life and .vigor. The manager!
of the Forsyth and Lyric theaters had I
not had a rest for seven years and the!
ten days he has had away from the|
dally grind has been'refreshing.
“The Forsyth will open Its Beaaon on I

the bookings are even better than those
that made the theater so .busy last!
rea r. The booking offices have assigned
,o the Forsyth some acts that we never |

because of the demand for their serv
ices In other places larger than Atlanta
Some of the big stars that have been |
Imported are routed Into the Forsyth
and some of the great American stars!
are also under actual contract for the
Atlanta theater. I also saw the con-|
tracts for the Lyric attractions and
Jredlct that the ’theater beautiful’ will
lave Its most successful season. The
shows are all high class, with many!
new ones, and there flro some «f the
old favorites with strong casts.
"New York theatrical people are very
much Interested In the production of
*Tess of the Storm Country,’ the play
that will be produced by Miss Bunting
at the Lyric next week. Rupert Hughes,
who dramatized the novel that was
written by Miss Miller and who Is also
the author of 'Excuse Me,’ arrived In
New York last Friday and will be In
Atlanta for the event. He will be ac
companied by representatives of a
number of Important theatrical man
agers, all of whom are anticipating that
•Teas’ will be one of the great cards of
the coming season In the high-priced
theaters."
Mr. Cardoza also brings the news that
Atlanta Is to have the latest Inven
tion in the moving picture line at the
Forsyth. This Is the* "Klnemacolor,"
the machine which projects „ moving
pictures with all the natural color of
the original object. This Is far In ad
vance of the hand-colored films,. It Is
said, and-the"effect of a sunset picture
or a great parade, showing the colored
uniforms. Is said to be wonderful. Pic-
tures of .the English coronation were
taken wltji this machine and Mr. Car
doza says these pictures will soon be
exhibited at the Forsyth.
WOULD-BE BIGAMIST
LEARNED JUST IN TIME)
Savannah, Ga„ July 20.—Believing
that five years absence from his wife
operated as a divorce, or that he was
released from marital liability by leav
ing his family In another state, a man
who purchased a license at the. epurt
house yesterday discovered hlz error as
he was on the threshold of commit
ting bigamy.
After procuring a license to marry a
Savannah woman and securing the
services of Justice Lane to perform the
ceremony, doubt In the man's mind
prompted him to ask the magistrate If
It would be all right- for him to marry
when he had a living and undlvorced
wife In Chicago. He explained that
they had been living apart for five
years and he thought .that was long
enough to obliterate the bonds that
Joined them.
Justice Lane broke the news to the
man that In Georgia plural wives con
stltutes bigamy, and that bigamy Is t
penitentiary offense. It Is needless to
add that the man did not Insist on the
ceremony being performed. Ho perhaps
congratulated h!msel( upon the Impulse
that prompted him to take the Justice
Into his confidence before It was too
late.
The prospective bride, If she does not
already know the Inside facts, will fe
licitate herself upon ber narrow escape.

Allen’s First 5em< ~
Annual Shoe
The first week of our first semi-annual shoe sale’
has witnessed the liveliest shoe-selling seen in Atlanta
this season.
There are many reasons why,"perhaps the most im
portant being that Allen’s policy calls for new—yes, the
very latest—styles in everything, be it Suits, Gowns,
Millinery, Shoes, Shirtwaists or whatever else is car
ried in this exclusive, high-grade ready-to-wear store.
We weed ofut old styles, often before some show
them as new ones.
Our New York connections keep us posted daily on style changes and new
styles. Our shoe and other buyers make a trip to New Ydrk every month or so.
Then again we have a shoe man and several able assistants, who' really inau
gurated the policy of a thorough house-cleaning in shoes twice a year in Atlanta.
Now every one is doing it—yet none so religiously or thoroughly as we do, since
we believe in-it, began it, and sttll practice it, conscientiously.
Atlanta is not yet so lairge or blase that individuals are lost sight of, and our
remarkable shoe business since April 10 testifies-it.
Atlanta is full of strangers every day, newcomers and home-builders, who are
locating here from the North, West and elsewhere. *
To all of these and our old friends we want to say, Allen’s is a good place to
buy at, and prrive it. * *
When you buy the very newest and best style shoes at a considerable reduc
tion, certainly the store from which you buy them will be most likely to see you
when the need of new shoes presents itself in the fall. _ .

AMERICUS AT WORK
