DRESDEN DOLLY KIDDIES ARE
FEATURE OF “THT ROSE MAID'
Os the many splendid features with
which Werba and Luescher’s delightful
new operetta, “'rhe Rose Maid,’’ is
brimming over with, perhaps the most
attractive of all is “The Kute Kiddies"
number. In this scene several little
tots who look as if they had stepped
from the showcase of some toy shop
with their flaxen hair of spun gold,
their laughing blue eyes and their
peaches and cream complexions, trun
dle on the stage toy baby carriages
containing an assortment of “kiddie"
pets from dollies to "Teddy bears."
Their entrance Is always a signal for
a round oj applause, and they are re
called time and again by an enthusi
astic audience. The comedy plays at
the Atlanta Monday, Tuesday and
W ednesday.
“The Rose Maid” is an operetta for
young folks as well as old. and there
are many features in it beside the
“Kute Kiddies” that appeal to the
youngsters. One scene which never
fails to meet with the approbation of
the youngsters is the one in which the
jovial Sir John Portman wheels on a
baby carriage and placing a toy rabbit
on the stage carefully aims at it with
a cap pistol while the rabbit mechani
cally hops across the stage. Then
again their youthful enthusiasm is
aroused to a high pitch when the great
“Cavalry Tournament” in the second
act takes place, and the children never
seem to tire of watching the soldiers
of every country in their bright uni
form going through their military evo
lutions.
In spite of their stage work "The
Kute Kiddies” are as human as many
of their little brothers and sisters in
the audience and enjoy childish pleas
ures the same as any other healthy
boy or girl.
“ALMA, WHERE DO YOU LIVE?
IS ALSO COMING NEXT WEEK
The attraction to be seen at Ahe At
lanta. Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
with Saturday matinee, will be Joseph
M. Weber's splendid production of
“Alma. Where Do You Live?” “Alma"
may be described as neither farce nor
burlesque, nor yet wholly musical com
edy. but something of all three of these.
Originally a French musical play by
Paul Herve and Jean Briquet—lt was
given for a long time in Paris and was
first seen in America in the German.
The present adaptation was made by
George V. Hobart, who has done his
work most cleverly and has lost none
of the interest and humor contained
In the original French play. There are
fourteen numbers in the score, and the
music by Briquet is particularly at
tractive, especially the number, “Alma.
Where Do You Live?" which has prov
ed decidedly catching. The company
is headed by Miss Grace Drew. Seats
on sale Monday.
"THE QUAKER GIRL” WILL
BE AT ATLANTA OCTOBER 7.
One of the most important musical
selections of a decade, "The Quaker
Girl," by Lionel Monckton. Adrian
Ross, Percy Greenbank and James T.
Tanner, will be the attraction at -the
Atlanta theater for the week beginning
October 7, with usua£ matinees. This
is an English play written by English
men. with an Englishman. Victor Mor
ley, in the stellar role. .Even in the
chorus, which Is composed of 50 spe

ris, producer, was most particular that
every detail of the production should be
in perfect accord with the ensemble, and
it struck him forcibly that the Ameri
can brand of chorus man didn’t seem to
fit into evening clothes with the ease
and grace that is required of the dan
cers in the third act of the play, at the
grand ball. Mr. Harris ran over to the
land of the original Beau Brummel and
found just what he wanted —social
aplomb, excellent voice and perfect
dancing, all in the English chorus man.
There are two English girls, however,
among the 50, the Wilson sisters, who
are appearing in this country for the
first time in one of their own feature
dances. The cast of principals, headed
by Victor Morley, who made such a hit
in the original "Three Twins,” includes
Natalie Alt, in the title role; Amy Les
ser, Elda Furry, Andree Corday, Ger
trude Fursman, Helen Merest, Murray
Stephens, William Blaisdell, George R.
Caine and others.
VAUDEVILLE'S BIG FEATURE
IS BOOKED AT THE GRAND
Joseph Hart’s “An Opening Night,"
from the pen of George V. Hobart, will
be the attractive headline for the Grand
the week commencing with matinee on
Monday afternoon. Twenty-five peo
ple. including a church choir of ten
voices and three complete scenes, will
be necessary to the proper production
of this wonderful vaudeville feature.
Joseph Hart has won international
fame because of his ability to give to
vaudeville absolutely the most realistic
and interesting features that this pop
ular branch of things theatrical can
afford. His "Every Wife,” “Dinkels
Piels’ Christmas" and "Peaches" have

part of next week.
long been the classics of modern vaude
ville until his production of "An Open
ing Night,” which is a human story,
bubbling with fun, pathos and real
ism. In fact, It is a play condensed
into 50 minutes.
The first scene is laid in an apart
ment house in the Bronx in New York
city, and the second takes one to the
exterior of St. Gregorys church, and
the closing scene is the stage of the
Uncle Sam theater, supposed to be in
New York. The story records the ad
ventures of two young people who were
married against the wishes of the fa
ther of the bridegroom, and the story
commences with the efforts of these
young people to fight the wolf from the
door. The story that follows is almost
a recital of one of the Arabian Night"
tales, modernized and localized. Inci
dental to the play, a new game, called
zim zam, is introduced, in which the
audience is invited to take part. It is
an unusually unique and clever idea
and one that will have a great deal to
do with the attendance during the
week. Atlanta has seen a great many
big vaudeville features, and when the
Grand was opened the Wells manage
ment promised the very best talent and
features obtainable. Mr Hart’s "An
Opening Night” is conceded to be the
very biggest act at this time in vaude
ville.
The supporting program consists of
five other names that are exception
ally clever entertainers. Morris Free
man, the really celebrated character
actor, will be seen in his classic char
acter study, "Tony and the Stork.” The
playlet gives Mr. Freeman exceptional
opportunities for his work. He is ex
cellently supported by two clever peo
ple, who will contribute no little to the
value of the sketch.
Phil Staats, the 300-pound comedian,
who has won fame and favor every
where because of real ability as a piano
player, will be another of the features
that promises to make this particular
bill one of the strongest vaudeville en
tertainments that has been offered in
the South. Staats is one of the recog
nized comedians in vaudeville and has
been brought here as a special feature.
Sadie Jansel, the Savannah girl who
has created a real furore in vaudeville
in the last three years, will be an im
portant member on the bill. This
dainty and attractive girl will present
a new series of imitations. According
to press reviews in other cities, she is
as clever as anybody in her class of the
profession.
There are two other feature acts tnat
will complete this program, and with
the tremendous value of “An Opening
Night” it is predicted that the capacity
of the big Grand will be taxed at every
matinee and evening performance.
“THE LITTLE TENDERFOOT" WILL
SPEND NEXT WEEK AT LYRIC
Audiences at the Lyric next week
will be given the opportunity to com
pare the better brand of melodrama
with what used to be for “The Little
Tendepfoot” Is a melodrama, but far
different from the class of plays usual
ly found under this heading. Dramatic
interest is not lacking in “The Little
Tenderfoot” for it is filled with the
strongest kind of drama. Just as are
all great plays. It is a Western play,
with Western scenes and prairie char
acters, yet the ever-rendy pistol of the
olden days is missing, and instead are
to be found characters such as are met
every day. Yet the human interest is
strong, the drama is throbbing with life
and the entire production so interest
ing that it has been declared to be the
best melodrama that has been on the
Wells circuit in years.
Frank E. Dae shows to advantage in
the east and Margaret Neville has emo
tional power in the stronger scenes of
the play w hich fall to her lot. Both of
these people are popular in the South
and their many friends will be glad to
greet them again this season. The
child’s part is exceptionally heavy,
which is handled by little Ethel Wich
man. Her baby' voice carries to all
parts of the house and her .stage man
nerism is that of a veteran actress.
This story may be likened to that
of the "Squaw Man,” but there is no
('ash Hawkins. The bad man is miss
ing. And the ending is much more sat
isfactory to the average audience.
The natural deductions worked out
in "Way Down East," the famous pas
toral play William A. Brady is send
ing to Atlanta for one week starting
Monday, October 7, at the Lyric, to
gether with the human Interest of the
play, appeals to all classes, young and
old, city' folk and country folk. It is
a plain story of plain people set be
fore them. Withal, the story of the
play points to a moral that is appli
cable to all mankind. This moral is
not hung like a sign post, but is un
consciously absorbed. “Way Down
East” is a clean play and a wholesome
one. It is a drama full of what is
termed heart Interest.
