AMUSEMENTS
SEVEN-FOOT SNAKE
KILLED IN BROAD-ST.
Crawling lazily out on the aldewalk
to zun himself, a coachwhlp snake that
afterward proved to be seven feet and
live Inches long, created a great deal
of excitement Thursday afternoon In
front of Pink Cherry's meat market In
Broad-st. The snake was one of the
longest seen around Atlanta In some
time snd certainly the lemftest specimen
ever seen In the downtown business
section In years. He crawled up thru
the sidewalk grating from the basement
of the building and wns seen by & pass
erby just tin tho head’ and part of the
body reached tho street level. •
Ths snake was soon killed by a negro
driver and was carefully measured <by
J. M. Gossett, a clerk In the market,
who says that It was exactly seven feet
and live Inches long, and ths longest
snake he ever saw looe^ In Atlanta. •

ry. ths white man who Is charged with

At tho Forsyth.
With the sort of vaudsvills that has
made the Forsyth both busy and popu
lar. this week will measure up to that
regular standard of. attendance that
means crowded houses at all perform
ances. It he. been a noticeable fact
since the reopening of the Forsyth this
season that matinee attendance Is
greater than last season, and that the
aftemdon rscords will soon pass tho
wonderful night figures.
Of course It la the popularity of
vaudsvllle that has established these
facts, but the comforts and conven
iences of the Forsyth help. There hits
never been a more thoroughly popular
theater In all AU&nta.
The attractions making up the bill
this week are of that sort liked so well
hf re. Thare are good comedy numbers,
excellent singing a!nd the kind of danc
ing that Is so out of the ordinary that
one can admire the work of the artists.
A dramatic sketch serves as an Inter
esting riat from tho task of laughing,
tint! the performance concludes with it
thrilling and sensational shooting ex
hibition that serves as food for gos
sip.
Stuart Barnes, ths feature of tho
week. Is one of the best singing come
dians vaudeville has ever known. He
doesn't sing the old songs that every
one sings, but the compositions of mas
ters in popular work, not yet published,
and he fills In with a line of story tell
ing that is pleasing. With a little man,
a tall thin man and a great big 400-
pound comedian, George Reno, one of
the best character comedians In the
profession, offers an act. that
laughter, aiid all ths other numbers
measure up to. hla standard.
Th-re la the usual lively Interest In
the coming bill. Beven sterling vaude
ville features hare been selected, and
collectively the bill should measure to
one of the best that has been present
ed. Covington and Wilber, the players
who portray seven different characters
In a pretty playlet, will be a feature,

Klaw A Erlsttger’s production of tho
George Beb&n play. "The Sign of the
Rose," with ths author In the leading
role.
Mr. Beban Is booked for five
with matinees Wednesday and
afternoons. The advance sale already
Is large enough to assure him a rousing
reception and an audience that will lend
tho needed need
sentlal In the sat
of a play.^pH
The local presentations will he the
first offering of the play In any city,
and aa Mr. Beban goes dlreot from here
to St. Louie and then to New Tork, It
can be seen that his managers are
counting heavily upon hie success In
thlr new enterprise.
Aside from the pride In their new
theater, playgoers here are keenly alive
jo the itory of this new play and tho
personality of the star who Is to vitalise
Its principal eharactar. Beban’a rela
tive position In the dramatic world Is
strong enough and his fame as a char
acter creator has preceded him. His
plajl Is an unknown quanttty. as It Is
entirely new and will have Its premier
during the Ami presentations. Its story,
however, le known to be a vital and
gripping narrative fit life, as It passes
around us every • day. The central
character le an Italian working man
made human by bis humble passions
and Idealized by the art of the creator
of It.
Tho story Is ultra-modern In con
ception and handling and eo rich In Its
ithetlo appeal that* It la sure to
n the keenest Interest of any au
dience.
It was a daring Idea to make a hero
of an Italian street worker, but Beban
has imbued such life and hope Into the
character that It stands out as a great
pleoe of work. His story relates the
life of this poor working man. who by
doing an act of kindness with ths Idea
of earning a few extra pennies, calls
down upon himself the suspicion of a
rich family whose little girl has been
kidnaped. His own little girl Is run
over by a motor car while playing In
tho streets and killed. Ths other goes
to a florist shop to buy a rose to lay on
her grave. There the polios have aet a
trap and are waiting for the kidnaper
to show up and claim his ransom. Into
this trap the Ignorant 'wprklng man
comes and being unable to express him
self clearly Is hopelessly involved In
the police net. When he Implores sad
begs them to release him It only makes
them the more suspicious snd at last.

Clover." this week's bill at
the Lyric, Is one of the most entertain*
lng plays over written. In It Miss Em
ma Bunting, the dainty leading lady,
has a rols which affords her ample op
portunity for the dleplay of that de
lightful style of portrayal which has
made her a general favorite among At
lanta theatergoers.
The character she essays It that of
Lolk Holcomb, a village beauty, whose
mother has run away with an artist.
The child It reared by her heart-broken
father, who fears that the, too, may fol
low In her mother's footsteps. As a
matter of fact, little Lois meets and
falls In love with a young artist who
visits tha village. He persuades her
to slope with him to the city, hut the
plan Is nipped In the buy by her father,
who learns that the young artist Is ths
son of the man who had destroyed his
home.
From that time on the plot—which,
by the way, Is unusually etrong and
well worked out—moves forward with
many Intensely Interesting scenes.
Then Is another young fellow, a neigh,
bor, who Is In love with Lois, and he
wins her in the end, but only a"'
and he both encounter many
tures. It Is JiiHt the sort of play to up.
peal to those who Hke exciting scenes
and a tVell presented production. The
scenes of "Sweet Clover" are laid among
tho fragrant fields of New England and
the characters ure typical of almost any
small town.
At the hands of the Bunting players
ths piece Is given a sumptuous and de
lightful production. Every member of
tbs admirable company Is cast for a
congenial rolo, and all appear to splen
did advantage. Georgs Whitaker, ths
popular leading man, has one of ths
bast roles that has fallen to his lot this
season, and he haa mado many new
friends by his excellent acting.
There an four acts, and each has
been supplied with most elaborate stags
settings. Not a detail which could pos
sibly add to the completeness of ths
produc
[acted.
Next week will mark the close of the
summer engagement of the Bunting
players at the Lyric, and the final of
fering will he "Thu Blue Mouse," one
of the most amusing farces ever writ
ten by Clyde Fitch.

A DUTY THAT YOU
OWE TO YOUR CHILDREN
—that of seeing to it that their little growing feet
are properly housed. The child’s physical, and even
• mental and moral, health depend upon it.' •
It ia not at all sufficient that the child’s feet shall
be protected from the wet or cold. The shoes must
’ have been rightly shaped; they must' have been
made of flexible, though tough and tenacious mate-
terial; they must have been well made.
Then they must be properly fitted. It is upon
this—the proper fitting of the child’s foot—that we
have specialized.
These Soroaia Shoes for children, fitted to the
child’s feet by our expert*, who have made a life
study of the work, insure absolutely correct shoes
for your child.
