‘THE BALKAN PRINCESS”
IS BOOKED FOR THE ATLANTA
At the Atlanta theater on Friday and
Saturday, September 6 and 7. Samuel
E. Rork’s production of the English
musical comedy, 'The Balkan Prin
cess,” will be the attraction. The pro
duction. after one entire year in Lon
con. ran the greater part of last season
at the Herald Square and Casino the
aters in New York, closing the run at
'be latter to make way for the revival
of "Pinafore.” This is really the first
tour of the piece.
The story of "The Balkan Princess"
involves plenty of romance, with an
equally liberal allowance of comedy.
The princess, Stephanie by name, rules
in-fr the realms of Balaria, and, by the
laws of that country, finds herself in
such a position that she must either
marry one of the six grand dukes with
in a week or else abandon her throne.
Roth of these alternatives are disagree
able. However, one of the six, Duke
Sergius, has declined to come to the
palace with the other five to sue for the
band of the princess. Stephanie is
piqued by this behavior on the part of
Sergius. She leaves court, proceeds di
rectly to a Bohemian restaurant, where
she meets Sergius, has him arrested i'or
treason and he is imprisoned in the
palace. The end of the week arrives
and Stephanie has gone to the extreme
of signing het abdication before love
t.tumphs, so that she and Sergius may

GEORGE WILSON, MINSTREL.
IS FEATURE AT FORSYTH
Forth, Forsyth for next week the
management has arranged a bill of pop
ular Keith vaudeville that will probably
( prove to be the best edition of this re
markable form of entertainment that
has yet been presented at the busy For-
|syth.
i The feature of the bill will be the
j famous minstrel star, George Wilson, of
i “Waltz Me Again” fame. Wilson has
: been the recognized star of all black-
I face artists for a number of years. He

Dockstader. Primrose and all of the
other present-day leaders in minstrelsy.
Personally, he chose vaudeville sone

it was a happy selection, both for him
self and the theatergoers. He has been

regularly routed over the circuit, and
was selected as the feature for the
Wells circuit, commencing at Atlanta
on next Monday. Wilson promises to
present here at the Forsyth the great
est phenomenon in the line of a talking
animal that has ever been known Os
course, this is going to be comedy, and
as Wilson has created mote good com
edy ideas than any one else in his class,
a real laugh may be anticipated Wil
son figures that his animal Is two-thirds
Bull Moose, so something very inter
esting may be anticipated.
Another big feature for popular
vaudeville will be Chester Johnstone.
This young man is a wonderful bicy
clist—not the sort that a usual vaude
ville bill offers, but a man whose abso
lute daring should excite the interest of
the most jaded. He does almost seem
ingly impossible stunts on a steel steed,
and it is believed that his act wil have
a great deal to do with the magnetism
of the bill
Harry Holman and company, present
ing “The Merchant Prime." a comedy
playlet with a moral and a punch, will
be another of the features. This act
promises to be just the sort for a
popular vaudeville bill, and one that
will carry an unusual interest.
The Clarence Sisters and Brothel, in
an unusually clever novelty, in changes
and scenery, will add to the merit of
