But they and all of Peter's band are seized by the pi rates and carried to their back flag sloop, where they prepare to kill them. Now Peter appears and rescues his band. They throw the pirates into the sea. Peter engages Hook and throws him overboard, where the crocodile is paitently waiting to eat his other hand. The Darling children at last reach home in safety. Wendy begs Peter to remain, but he urges her to come back to him to Never-Never, Never Land, where there are no mothers to tuck you up in bed at night. Peter still does not want to grow up, so he flies away to his home in the tree tops. There Wendy visits him every year to do his spring cleaning. The closing scene, full of fairy charm, is in the tops of the trees, where Peter's little home hangs in the moonlight among the glancing insects and the colored radiance of the spring night. And Peter Pan, un speakably graceful and Ideal, plays his reeds in this atmosphere of spring, of fairydom and of youth. As is to be imagined, the production of the play is a very elaborate one. All of the settings are picturesque. Mr. Frohman has surrounded Miss Adams with a carefully selected company of well known players. The sale of seats opens Monday at 9 ; a. m. ‘•THE COMMON LAW" COMES TO THE ATLANTA NEXT WEEK The greatest amount of favor at tained by Robert W. Chambers' won derfully successful book, "The Com ' mon Law," Is mainly due to the inter { eat shown to Its pages by the gentler ! sex. essentially "The Common Law" is j a woman’s story. Hr.-w?, tn making •preparations for its dramatization, tne* management was mindful of that fret THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 16. 1912. and aimed steadfastly in the direction of making the play a woman's play, for. after all, much depends upon thr woman's world for stage success. "The Common Law" is announced for a hearing in this city on next Mon day. Tuesday and Wednesday, Novem ber. 18 19 and 20. with a matinee on Wednesday, and unless signs fail there will be a record crowd in attendance to get further acquainted with the story that has awakaned more discussion than any in the last decade. The fullest attention has been given toward making the production one of consummate artistic splendor, and a company of players has been engaged altogether capable oi rendering a per formance which should prove both gratifying and unforgetful. —— \ "THE HEART BREAKERS" IS BOOKED FOR THE ATLANTA SOON Among the successful musical come dies of last seafson, "The Heart Break-, ers," which wi/1 be seen at the Atlanta Tuesday and Wednesday, November 26 and 27, rankfd among the first. The cast will tfl'lll be headed by George Damerel, wfnom the theatergoers of the country w/11 remember for his clever ; performance of the Prince in the “Mer- ry Widow)'' BIG FEAIURE BILL IS BOOKED FOR THE GRAND NEXT WEEK There is more Interest in vaudeville i now thifn at this time last season, fig ures prove these facts, for the Grand has played to several hundred, more people, in the eight weeks the big the ater has been devoted to the .high-class Keith vaudeville, than the first eight weeks of last season. I'or next week th" seven acts that * maim up the progr»~» sneak eloquently I for the standard of 7”’.tdevllle that i- 1 v* iff WMIW W/ MmRAt / ’' W'' 'ill / ~ -1 'A. seene I’roiu the “Two Orphans." to be played at the Forsyth a.li next tveek l» Ennna Bunting Company. t packing big theaters in the large cit ies. Daniel Frohman will make his ’ first vaudeville presentation here in the ■ introduction of his "Detective Keen" | filiylet. T!i< sketch was written by Percival Knight, the- leading comedian of "The Quaker Girl.” and is being plgyed by Arthur Hoops, assisted by Miss Ruby HotTiiV.il>. The others in the cast W'U be Alfred Hollingsworth, William Slider and Sterling t’heseldlne. The novelty was first produced at the annual actors hen- fit last season in New York and later in Chlctigo. The suc cess Then brought inducements for a vaudeville tour. It is called a "Raffles ; Arsene Lupin’ sketch and the story 1 deals with the theft of :i valuable gem, I from the hous-!’."ld of a collector of . I rare jewels. The iiolice send one de- . I tective after another to work on the ease, and how the fortune is recov ered, and gi ts away again, is very in teresting. The play runs about half an hour and is crowded with thrills and surprises. The next important feature will be the introduction of Eddie Leonard, the minstrel star. whose singing and danc ing has never been eclipsed, since the day he made his Hr: t great hit with the Cohan & Harris minstrels. The dancer will be assisted by Mabel Rus sell. who is one of the most charming entertainers in America.. The little lady is a great part of the act, but of course Leonard is the star. There is no other entertainer in the land who dances so well as this man. and his peculiar way of singing a song has been imitated by .some of the present-day high-salaried people of musical cojnedy and vaude ville. The third big feature will be an acrobatic stunt, not the stereotyped Sort but a quartet of clever Japanese, the Ishikawa Brothers, who. with magnifi cent costumes and interesting Stage mountings, will offer what Is conceded to be the most interesting performance of its sort in vaudeville. With*these three features the Grand litis the foundation for a great per formance, but there are four other acts that will have something to do with the ' record-breaking. A good comedy idea will be introduced by Harry Divine and Miss Williams, in their skit, "The Trav eling Salesman and the Female Drum mer.” It is conceded that nothing fun ner has been put up in vaudeville. Joe Whitehead, a comedian of the | Fitzgibbon-Dooley type, will be on the bill, and promises to get the audience in a good humor early. He is a new comer, but is sure to enter the favorite class. The Willis Family, two broth ers and their sisters, will offer a musi cal treat, and the Booth Trio, in a comedy novelty, will also appear. Seats for the Grand are in great de mand, and with such stars as Juliet, Mclntyre & Heath and Edna Goodrich and company now on their way to the big theater, the season will soon lind I the standing oom notice posted at -.ill! pei furntanee <. BEULAH POYNTER WILL BE LYRIC'S NEXT ATTRACTION At the Lyric theater next week Miss Beulah Poynter will be seen in two plays. The first half will be devoted to her latest success. “A Kentucky Ro mance,” while the latter half, com mencing with Thursday’ matinee, will be her forme)' great play. “Lena Riv- I ers.” dramatized by herself. “A Kentucky Romance" is an ap pealing play, full of touching pathos and ge >d, wholesome humor—a tale of aristocracy and poverty in Kentucky, of a girl mistreated and beaten by her drunken father, of a young aristocrat in love with her. of his proud mother trying to induce him to marry’ another woman for her money—a sad combina- | I lion, but. everything turns out as it I should, and "all's well that ends well.” I The play leans strongly to sentiment, | but there is a pleasing vein of comedy ! running throughout the piece? which adds to its popularity. The author. Joseph Leßrandt, has drawn his char i acters skillfully and has developed his I situations to powerful climaxes in an I artistic manner. . Miss Poynter, always careful of her I supporting east, has the best balanced ; company this season that she has ever i carried, all members chosen with a i view to capably filling their respective parts. The matinees will be as follows: Tuesday matinee—“A Kentucky Ro mance.” Thursday and Saturday matinee— “Lena Rivers.” "THE SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS” | IS COMING TO THE LYRIC SOON I Harold Bell Wright, the author of I “The Shepherd of the Hills,” which j comes to the Lyric week of November 25, is conceded to be the most popular' American novelist. No modern au | thor's books have had anything like the sale that has been accorded Mr. Wright’s works. Nearly every one Is familiar with the characters in "The Shepherd of the Hills.” They are people out of the ordinary run of life, people whose veins run good, riejh. red blood. They do things in a natural, human way; they love and hate with deep passion. EMMA BUNTING AT FORSYTH IN "THE TWO ORPHANS” Nothing could be mole thoroughly pleasing to thousands of playgoers than I the announcement that little Emma Bunting and her players would present “The Two Orphans” at the Forsyth next week, and that for the following wek the bill would be "Merely Mary Ann." t There has been- the keenest sort of appreciation of the work of Miss Bunt ing since her return to Atlanta, and in six short weeks the dainty little star, with the assistance of the.most capable stock company that h..s ever been seen here, has added to her establishecl cll entelle the most representative people lin Atlanta, until the Forsyth has •el.'peed its past attendance records' in selecting "The Two Orphans” for next ! week’s bill, Miss Bunting is respond- | ing to perhaps the greatest appeal that | has been registered that any artist play j a certain piece. It will be recalled that only recently one of the greatest producing managers in America selected an all-star cast for the production of the play and that it I broke theater records wherever pre Bunting tn "The Two orphans” will ! eclipse all past successes. There is i hardly a theatergoer who is not famil- I iar with the beautiful story of “The Two Orphans.” There has never been another play like it produced on any stage. It has a clinging grasp on’the hearts of the people all over the world. It lias been .tears since it was seen in] Atlanta. Miss Bunting is perfectly qualified for the leading role. It is a hit away from the sort of character she is usu ally called upon to portray, but it is just what suits her to a tine point. George Whitaker has been cast for a part that will help him prove that he ; is a qualified and versatile leading man. The actor has become more popular during the winter season, and his work has drawn the most hearty approval. Leopold Lane. David Herblin, Jack Kingsbury, Richard Lyle and Leslie Webb has been given important assign ments that they promise good returns for, and Bertha Leigh. Ann Gridley and Nina Saville will be seen in parts that suit their hrtistic ability. Stage Director E. M. Leonard has given personal attention to the detail of production. The play will be in sev eral acts, and a number of tableaux, land the most perfect detail will lie fol- I lowed. The stage productions that have | been given during the season have I spoken strongly for the ability of the ■ director and his staff of stage me chanics and scenic artists. JAP ACROBATS BOOKED AS BIJOU HEADLINER As a special novelty feature for next week the Bijou management lias book ed as its headliner the Yoschino Japs, one of the best troupes of Japanese acrobats on tic- vaudeville stage today As a second feature tin management hag secured Lewis, Griftin and Lewis in their latest comedy Itlsh success, "The Prima Donna, Tad and Soubrette," in troducing exceptionally good haimony singing, dancing and comedy. To these will be added Goforth & Doyle, In "A Study in Black and Tan,” and Norman, ; tho frog man, America’s most sensa tional contortionist. Norman’s work in i the costume of a frog Is not only orlgi- ■ nal, but remarkably clever and he does some stunts that would seem almost I beyond the power of human to attempt, i To open and close each performanca I the best of motion pictures will be se | leeted.
