AT THE THEATERS
RICH COLORING OF DURBAR
REPRODUCED BY KINEMACOLOR
The Durbar, which occurred last De
cember at Delhi, India, and marked the
coronation of the king and ’queen -of
England as the emperor and empress of
India Is one of the most elaborate and
ornate occurrences of that strange coun
try, and the trappings and colors of the
potentates, maharajahs, rajahs and chiefs
embody every combination of the rainbow
The pictures showing this ceremony,
which are being produced twice daily at
the Grand opera house, reproduce these
colors by photography, and make an In
teresting and enjoyable entertainment
The Kinemacolor ts an invention of an
Englishman and an American, and repro
duces the coloring exact. The blue of the
■ky. the yellow of the sand, the red of
the British troopers' uniforms, the won
derful blending of the beautiful colors
of the dress and turban of the chiefs,
the mauve of the tents, and the golden
and blue trappings of the robes of state
•re ell just as they were worn during
that festal period In India
Os probably the most interest to demo
cratic America aa showing the difference
tn caste in this country and republics is
the scene In which the chiefs of India
,g>ay homage to the English monarchs. Re
reath the great canopy of state, the king
•nd queen sit on the thrones, while the
ruling monarchs of India come single and
•bow low to them After this ceremony is
over they back away., some more or less
awkwardly, especially when they descend
the short flight of steps leading up to the
throne platform
This engagement Is the first production
of the Durbar pictures In Atlama and is
proving of great historical as well as pic
torial Interest The performances are at
2:30 and 8:30 p m.
PAULINE CAUSES WONDER
AT FORSYTH THIS WEEK
There's real interest in the vaudeville
bill at the busy Forsyth this week. It's
a bill of quality, headed by one of the
most famous headliners In the porfes
sion and made up of acts that have
reputations along Broadway.
Pauline, the feature of the week, has
made good every claim that was made
in advance "Some call it science
some call it a fake, whatever you call
it. that's just what it is” Pauline
leaves it all to hi- audiences, lj P an
nounces hi- purpo-c to perform a cer
tain feat and goes ahead. If it is sci
ence it is great., if what he floes is a
fake it is the most entertaining fake in
the world. Anyhow, the wonderful man
has entertained, made the audiences
think, laugh and applaud, and that's
his contract.
The Exposition Four, vaudeville's
most versatile quartet: Dave Ferguson,
a rather clever story teller: Jennings
and Nelaon. in an original Id.-a in com
edy. and other acts of power are on
the bill.
For next week Caroline H. Nichols
and her Boston Fadette Orchestra will
head a bill of unusual strength. The
Boston Fadettes, eighteen girls, the rec
ognized musical features of vaudeville
and one of the brightest acts in the
profession, will attract unusual atten
tion'.
Helps a Judge in Bad Fix.
Justice Eli Cherry, of Gillis .Mills,
Tenn., was plainly worried. A bad sore
on his leg had baffled several doctors
and long resisted ail remedies I
thought it was a cancer." he wrote. "At
last 1 used Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, and
was completely cured." Cures burn
boils. ulcers, cuts bruises and piles. 25
cents at all druggists.
Terminal Tax Return
Rejected Until It Is
Raised to $1,000,000
W. A. Wright, comptroller general,
ha? rejected the annual tax return of
the Atlanta Terminal Company, which,
he says, has been cut to $750,000. de
spite an agreement to return the prop
erty at a valuation of $1,000,000.
The comptroller general Is authority
for the statement that unless the Ter
minal company puts the return back to
the former figure of $1,000,000 the mat
ter will go tn arbitration.
Returns of the Pullman Car Company
for 1912 showed an increase of 25 per
cent over the. returns for 1911. The
property was returned for $707,990.77,
of which $549,504.83 represents tangible
property and the balance franchise
holdings. This Is an increase of $121,-
000 over the returns for 1911.
SIO,OOO DEFICIT HALTS
INCREASE IN STATE’S
MILITIA INFANTRY
Governor Brown has decided to deny
further requests for the formation of
Ipfantry militia regiments in Georgia.
The governor's decision Is based upon
the facts that the state's military fund
Is facing a deficit of *IO,OOO and the
Federal government has asked that no 1
increase be made in militia infantry.
Adjutant General Obear said today
that the deficit was largely due to the
*7,500 appropriated from the military
fund by the legislature to send the Sec
ond regiment of Infantry to Macon for
the reunion.
The United States government pays
about Sfi for every dollar spent by Geor.
gla for the maintenance of the guard.
The government wants more cavalry
and artillery, but needs no more in
fantry.
