NEXT WEEK AT THE THEATERS
“MADAME SHERRY” WILL BE
AT ATLANTA ON MONDAY
George W. Lederer's name as a pro
ducer of musical pieces usually spells
something near the,last word in ap
proximate perfection of production.
Playgoers familiar with the manager's
successes while he held forth at the
New York Casino. In "Madame Sher
ry," a musical production that has
scored a success of greater popular
magnitude than any musical piece of
fered in the metropolis in a score of
years, the Lederer touch and the Leder
er manner are said to be vitally con
tributing elements accounting for the
production's furore. Aside from the
notes of mirth struck by the story—and
past performance has demonstrated
that no one better than Lederer knows
how to effect stage fun—" Madame
Sherry” is said to fascinate not alone
by its score with its ravishing "Ev’ry
Little Movement Has a Meaning All Its
Own” t'heme, but to enthrall as well by
the general beauty shimmering
throughout the production's three acts,
he scenic opportunities for the Lederer
artistry are a New York gilded youth's
studio, with bevies of dancing feminine
guests devoted to Grecian terpsichore,
the salon of a millionaire’s yacht, un
der full sail in the waters off Coney
Island, with her feminine guest; as
models for the Lederer ingenuity and
taste in costuming. The conduct of
every member of the cast, which term
takes in the feminine chorus, is said,
too, to reflect this general sense of
beauty, a quality that one unconscious
ly appreciates, who listens to many of
the airs of the published score of the
production. “Madame Sherry" is to be
presented here at the Atlanta Monday
and Tuesday, with a special Tuesday
matinee.
FISKE O’HARA IS COMING
IN “THE ROSE OF KILDARE”
The first performance in Atlanta of
the new Irish romantic play, "The Rose
of Kildare" by Messrs. Paulton and

lanta Wednesday nigrht only. The story
is a play of life in Ireland, during the
stormy days of 1795. when half of Ire
land was in a state of rebellion against
England. Gerald O’Donnell, a young
aristocrat of the County Kildare, is the
hero of the story.
Os course, the piece is handsomely
mounted, one can count on Mr. Pitcu
for doing that, and there is an abun
dance of fun and excellent humor. The
cast Is a very strong one and com

Mildred Beverly, Marie Quinn, Con

Kane. Ca roll Baly, J. P. Sullivan, John
Alexander, John C. Hickey, Frank Cul

“LOUISIANA LOU” IS
MUSICAL SHOW COMING
"Louisana Lou,” the new musical
comedy from the Chicago LaSalle, is
said to differ from all other musical
comedies of the day in that it is en
tertainment no less for the children
than for the grownups. Totals does not
mean that it is a dramatized nursey
tale, or that it, as other abortive at
tempts to please the children have been,
is a mere compilation of infantile,
thoughtless foolery. To what extent the
children are catered to in "Louisiana
Lou" will be noted when the new musi.
cal comedy is disclosed here by Harry
Askin's special company on October
28, 29 and 30 in the Atlanta.
Two of the most popular songs in
"Louisiana Lou” are of special appeal
to the children. They are "The Tale of
a Jumping-Jack" and "The Joys and
the Glooms," which is a clever stage
use of the idea originated by Tom Pow
ers in his cartoons,
LOUIS MANN IS COMING
TO ATLANTA IN NEW PLAY
Louis Mann, who is to be seen here
October 31 and November 1 at the At
lanta In his newest success, "Elevat
ing a Husband,” In which he has been
appearing for six months In New York
at four theaters in sm cession, has a

at his own expense he is fond of tell
ing' the following story of a conversa
tion he overheard at the Conclusion of
a trial performance he once gave in
this notable role. After his perform
ance he heard some old stage carpen
ters discussing the various players of
Shylock they had seen in their day.
"Well,” said one of them, “you may talk
of Irving and Booth and now Mann,
but give me Fechter's Shylock. He
was done twenty minutes sooner than
any of ’em.”
ANOTHER FEATURE BILL
BOOKED FOR THE GRAND
A bill of vaudeville is coming to the
Grand for next week and it appears to
have tho strength to break every at
tendance record registered.
Precisely the same acts that appear
in the big Keith theaters in New York
and at Hammerstein’s, in that city, and
at the principal houses in Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington come to At
lanta.

famous Valerie Bergere and her own
company will be the headline attrac

The rest of the bill is as distinguish

Hippodrome. This Is indeed the most
wonderful act of its sort in vaudeville.
It was imported by the Hippodrome
management, and when its contract

EMMA BUNTING TO PLAY
"LITTLE MINISTER" NEXT WEEK
Little Emma Bunting and her play
ers are in Atlanta to stay. This is the
first time since Atlanta had a theater
that a winter stock company has been
introduced, and the idea is pleasing
immensely. Os course, the fact that
Miss Bunting is the star of the organ
ization has a groat deal to do with
the success that has been registered.
For next week the play will be J. M.
Barrie's "The Little Minister," a piece
that Is rarely released for stock. It
has not been seen in Atlanta for years
and its value will be sufficient to draw
practical capacity to the Forsyth at all
performances, and especially the mati
nese. Miss Bunting has been cast for
Lady Babbie, the part that Maude Ad
ams had when the play was first pro
duced, and she fits it. It is a part that
she Is already in love with, and it is
going to afford her opportunities better
than anything she has ever had to do
in Atlanta.
George Whitaker will have an Im
portant loading part, and it <an be de- a
pended upon that the qualified leading
man will render a good account. Oth
ers who will be Important in the cast
and who will have splendid chances to
distinguish themselves will be Bertha

“THE CALL OF THE HEART” IS
LYRIC'S BILL NEXT WEEK
“The Call of the Heart” will be the
attraction at the Lyric theater next
w eek.
At times “The Call of the Heart” is
frank, even unto daring, but it is treat
ed with rare culture and outstanding
graces by a woman of high principles,
who made a careful study of her sub
ject before she. had the temerity to ven
ture into untrodden paths.
The sociological side of the text
would furnish inspiration for a great
sermon, but in the action and unfolding
of the play there is no attempt at mor
alizing—this in spite of the lesson it
could well teach.
The producing company is headed by
John Nicholson, who has won an excel
lent reputation for marked dramatic
ability through many seasons of suc
cess. As an unscrupulous aristocrat,
who represents merely a “name” to
which a sweet and wealthy American
woman has been fettered in a most un
happy marriage, Mr. Nicholson is mak
ing many new friends by his artistic
presentation of a rather unwholesome
character.
Miss Ann Hamilton, as the abused
wife, is a tower of strength in the sup
port of Mr. Nicholson, and divides the
honors with him. Her part, too, is a
trying one, but she handles it with such
finesse that she never fails to open the
flood gates of charity and to win for
giveness for the one Indiscretion of her
life. In fact, every member of the cast
has been selected for a particular fit
ness for the role to be interpreted, and
the company includes Corwin Lusk
moor, W. J. McConnell. Clarence Bel
lair, C. B. Waters, W. C. Turner. Milly
Stevens, Virginia Hadley and others.

GOOD SINGING ACT IS
HEADLINER AT THE BIJOU
Os the many vaudeville bills that

era to ragtime.

Saved By His Wife.
She's a wise woman who knows just
what to do when her husband’s life is
in danger, but Mrs. R. J. Flint, Brain
tree, Vt„ is of that kind. "She insisted
on my using Dr. King’s New Discov
ery.” writes Mr. F., “for a dreadful
cough, when I was so weak my friends
all thought I had only a short time to
live, and it completely cured me.” A
quick cure for coughs and colds, it’s the
most safe and reliable medicine for
many throat and lung troubles—grip,
bronchitis, croup, whooping cough,
quinsy, tonsilltls, hemorrhages. A trial
will convince you. 50 cts. and SI.OO.
Guaranteed by all druggists. (Advt.)
When you have <t bad cold you want
the best medicine obtainable, so as to
cure it with as little delay as possi
ble. Here is a druggist’s opinion: "I
have sold Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
for fifteen years,” says Enos Lollar, of
Saratoga, Ind., "and consider it the
best on the market.” For sale by all
dealers. (Advt.)
