“THE MAN FROM HOME" IS
ATLANTA'S NEW OFFERING
At the Atlanta Taxcla.v. ana Wednes
< Ks, v.-ltli Wednesday matinee, William
Hodge will be seen i.i “The Man From
ttoins," by Booth Tm hingtun and 1!.. -
1 y I-eon tVilson, admittedly one of the
• nos! popular and suece-.-Tul plays o*
• ecent years. Mr. Hodge is nov in his
lit'th season in the role of DanieT Voo
hees Pike, a country lawyer from In
diana. and in that period he has carried
the play through a series of remarkable
runs, which include 70 weeks at the As
to’ theate in Nev York. 42 weeks In
Chicago and 31 weeks in Boston, in ad
dition to a coast-to-eoast tow last sea
son. It will be recalled that although
the play is essentially an American one
in its spirit and the ’esson it draws, its
scenes are nevertheless all laid in Italy
and it is the projection of the Western
lawyet in foreign scenes and circles and
the dominant resourceful way in which
he outwits a band of mercenary adven
turers that heightens’ the interest of
the story by affording sharp contrasts.
The character of Daniel Voorhees Pike
and the personality of Mr. Hodge are
happily cenvnted. M-. Hodge's meth
ods are of the slow, quiet, but Incisive,
order that recall the work of Sol Smith
Russell and, Indeed, many critics have
remarked the decided similarity of
those two actors, not alone in the char
acter of their work, but in the manifes
tation of temperament and personality.
The company has for its leading
woman Gertrude Hitz, a young actress
whose charm of manner and person
supplement a fine measure of acting
ability. That excellent actress Ida ■
Vernon, whose caree. is one of honor.
and distinction throughout nearly 50
years on the stage, still retains her '
original part of Lady Creech. Harold !

RAINEYS AFRICAN HUNT IN
PICTURES AT ATLANTA
Extravugunt prais? hits been heaped

Rulney s African hunt .and their first
i;.'ow ir.g, in fhis pity at th( Atlanta
theater next Tlim.-day, Friday and Sat

less prove interesting. Society folk,
always looking for something really
new. have thronged the Lyceum and the
Bijou theaters- fn New York all sum
mer, where the pictures are now com
pleting their seventh month on Broad
way.
Startling in their realism, tiie pictures
hold the attention of the audience con
tinuously, for the scenes are unique.
Wild beasts in tlieir native haunts were
caught by the camera man. drinking at
tlie water-hole—here a long-necked gi
raffe, there a ponderous rhinoceros,
with zebras galloping in among the
strange group, and later a little fam
ily of elephants sticking their trunks
into the cooling pool.
A snarling hyena caught in a trap,
will make you feel glad that you are
a few thousand miles away from the
scene. Then the chase of the leopard,
or cheetah, wljieh the American dogs
treed and killed, the whole scene de
picting to the end. when each dog takes
a final srfap at his prey.
The shooting of the big rhino and
the lion hunt are wonderful. The os
trich pictures, a monkey at play and
the scenes on Mr. Tarlton’s animal farm
I are also attractive features of an en
tertainment. that will prove as enjoy
able as it is wonderful and instructive.

BILL OF FEATURES IS
OFFERING AT THE GRAND
Just when vaudeville ever offered
such a promising entertainment as is
suggested by the bill that will be the
attraction at the Grand for next week
would be hard to recall. Some of the
most distinguished features and head
liners the profession affords have been
routed to appear at the Grind, and for
many weeks to come tiie headliners a,e
of exceptional magnetism and real qual
ity. «
Next week's bill is a forerunner of
the great things that are to happen.
The program consists of features and
stars and headliners that are known by
reputation and some by personal visits
to Atlanta.
One of the stars of the bill will be
Bert Leslie, supported by bls personally
selected company. Mr. Leslie, a former
newspaper man, now one of the best
known «<nd highest salaried vaudeville
artists in the land, is known as “The
King of Slang " He han coined more
slang expressions than any one alive.
About two-thirds of the every-day ex
pressions used by all the people as a
short cut around a long command or a
curtailment of good English came from
: the brilliant mind of this entertainer.
Mr. Leslie ha* been offering a series of
i "Hogan" sketches, but because of tUe
great demand for his services in the
■vaudeville theaters, it lias not been
possible until this time to engage pim ,
I I'll appearance in Atlanta, but he i* in |
i be here and will make up i. r ail lost
time.
Anothet star will be beautiful Laura
Guerite. u Broadway favorite, who has
been Identified with a great many mu
sical comedy su< < es-es. Miss Guerite
has an exclusive vaudeville specialty.
In which she will be assisted by Art iur
Conrad, who Is a most v®.satile young
man.
Os course Atlanta knows Bort Fitz
gibbon! More than 18.000 people were
attracted to the thea.ei when lie ap
peared in this city last. The songs lie
song the Jokes lie told, the cutups he
registered and the fun he had with the
musical director, and all that sort of
thing won for tiie “daffy dil" a position
In Atlanta that will hardly be palled
dow n.
Six pretty, prancing show girls, who,
, have been identified with tiie Montgom
ery & Stone ahows, with l-ew Fields'
■ companies, and with other tnusica l stie
| cesses, and who are the otiginal Bony
■Bullet, will be another feature and will
j have something to do with the attend
ance.
I Redford and XX’ineitester, who do the
j funniest burlesque jugging act that
I was ever conceived, have just returned i
j from a •27,000-tnile tom of the world,-
and they are going to manufacture
laughter while the audiences wait. This,
is tiie best act of its sort and the hit
it scored at the Orpheum some yeatsi
ago has not been forgotten.
Armstrong ami Manley, clever come-|
dians. and Ben Peyer and Brother, in a .
comedy bicycle offering, make up the J
program
“THE GIRL IN THE TAXI" IS
BOOKED FOR THE LYRIC.
" I tie Girl in the Taxi." the greatest 1
laughing success of the century, conies
to the Lyrk next week.
The story of "The Girl in the Taxi"
is as laughable as it is interesting Its
plot full to overflowing with situations
and complications which move with the
rapidity of a racing car on high speed.
Lauguter is the keynote and the peals
of merriment evoked from curtain to
cuftaln follow each other like dis
charges from a Gatling gun. The cli
maxes are hilarious and side-splitting
In their unexpectedness and originality.
There is the father, a rich and respect
ed banket who Is all that he should be
while in the home circle, surrounded by
his wife and by his son. Bertie.
There is the nephew from Philadel
phia who comes to New York twice a
ye.r to have his throat treated by an
| eminent New York specialist
X friend of the family who is a vuy s
turning up at the wrong moment cqn
j tributes his share to complicate mat
iters. A French maid. « io gives Bertie.
I' • f> -t le<son« ii <>, i naking > iL'ni
an important factor in the mix-ups
which crowd the piece from start to
finish.
Add to these a perfume manufactur
er from New Jersey with a wife who
chooses rather to remain in New York
and keep an appointment with Bertie
instead of going back to Red Bank, her
home, and the embarrassments which
follow can better be imagined than de
scribed.
The musical specialties introduced
throughout "The Girl in The Taxi”
with songs and dances, contrast pleas
antly with the rapid-fire situations and
afford breathing spells in the merry
making.
“THE WINNING WIDOW” IS
COMING TO LYRIC SOON.
“The Winning XX'idow.” which will
appear at the Lyric commencing Mon
day, November 11, Is a splendid musical
comedy entitled "At Home and Abroad,”
and is in two acts. There are seven
principals who furnish the fun. songs
and specialties, and they are backed up
by a beautiful chorus handsomely
gowned.
EMMA BUNTING TO APPEAR
IN “LEAH KLESHNA” NEXT
The question now is whether or not
the Forsyth is going to be large enough
to accommodate the crowds that are
following Little Emma Bunting and her
splendid supporting company. Os
course. Miss Bunting's strong personal
popularity has been half the battle.
The plays already presented have
met with hearty approval. The man
agement has selected bills that are sure
to please because each of them will
permit the dainty leading lady to play a
part that is away from the routine she
has followed here before. In the plays
already offered she lias astonished her
best friends with her wonderful versa
tility and that she will have a success
ful season is a conclusion reached by
all who keep in touch with such things.
For the week that starts on Monday
—and that includes matinee perform
ances on Tuesday, Thutsday and Sat
urday afternoohs—“Leah Kleshna,” one
of the standard plays of modern times,
wilt be the bill. The play has beer
personally selected by Miss Hunting It
is going to give her an opportunity to
appear in an altogether different chur-
