I you will see when the curtain goes up,

whom nature seems to have blended all

the fierceness of the tempest when It

kisses the rippling water, the brooding

you will listen to the simple story of
her simple life as she tells it to Hale.
RAINEY’S AFRICAN HUNT WILL
BE SHOWN AT THE ATLANTA
Reginald Carrington, whose graphic
and interesting description of the Paul
J. Rainey African hunt motion pictures
has proven so delightful to audiences
wherever these startling pictures have
been shown, is a character actor who
made a great success in "The Lion and
the Mouse." Last summer he was en
gaged by William Harris. Jr., to lecture
at tlie Lyceum theater In New York,
where the jungle pictures were being
shown. So great was Mir Carringtons
success In this new field of endeavor
that he asked to b< allowed to continue
witli the pictures rather than to "sign
Up" with it dramatic company, as has
been his annual custom. The pictu'i -
will be at the Atlanta Ute week of D -

star, under the direction of Charles
Frohman, at the Atlanta, beginning

the original company seen with hint
during the record runs of this success-
■
lifei •*■
ful and delightful pjcce in New York.

season. The list of supporting princi
pals includes Will West, Ethel Cadman,
Harry Delf, Florence Morrison, John
Mogan. Grace Walsh, Cyril Blddulph,
I Cissy Sowell, Victor Leßoy and oth
' ers, besides the now famous array of
sirens and the large chorus.
BIG FEATURE BILL IS
BOOKED AT THE GRAND
Edgar Ateheson-Ely and company
will be one of the headline features at
the Grand for next week, and Winona
Winter, the famous Southern musical
comedy star, will be an extra attrac
tion. These two exceptionally strong
and magnetic acts will head a bill that
has been selected with the greatest
care, and-that will unquestionably de
velop into one of the most interesting
events of the season at the Grand.
Edgar Atcheson-Ely is one of the
cleverest comedians that has advanced
in the theatrical profession. He is
wonderfully versatile and in comedy
plays and in periods of musical come
dy has attracted so tqueh attention
that his services were enlisted for
vaudeville. In vaudeville lie has at
once taken a position with the head
liners and with the aid of a clever
company of four other people will be
set n in a thrilling funny oddity called
"Billy's Tombstones." It requires the
talent and the ability of an artist of the
Ateheson-Ely type to properly portray
the lead in this sketch.
Winona Winter Is a daughter of the
South. She Is the daughter of Banks
Winter, the famous Southern tenor,
author of “White Wings," and her fa
ther drilled ami trained her into his
profession. As a little girl she was
elevei in the varieties and a she ad
piii'til became Identified w ith some of
tin leading musical comedy pruduc-
tions and was soon a recognized star.
Miss Winter in vaudeville occupies a
distinctive position. She has won ad
miration and for a young person has a
more wonderful record for success than
any other artist. She will be heard in
new song hits, will offer a delightfully
original monologue and there will be
other specialties that will register a hit
for her.
The famous Don Fulano. the wonder
horse, will be another feature of this
exceptional bill. The horse was raised
in Montana and trained by an expert.
He is handled by a man who has been
with him since he was a colt, and
some of his tricks are too wonderful to
believe. They have to be seen. Don
Fulano reads, writes, spells words, is
fine at arithmetic, can light a match
I and is the only horse in the world that
actually laughs. It all depends upon
the reception by an audience as to what
Don Fula'no will do. Recently at one
of the leading theaters in New York he
kept entertaining for 40 minutes and
i even then the people wanted more.
Acrobats will always be found on a
i vaudeville bill. There is a big percent-
I age of every audience that cares a lot
for the cleverness usualy displayed by
i masters in gymnastics, and in the Van-
I Osstnan Troupe the audiences are going
to be treated to an unusualy clever en
tertainment.
Martinetti and Maximillion, who are
known as the comedy tricksters; Lydell
and Butterworth, in an original black
face idea, and Ronalr and Ward, a
comedy novelty, will also appear.
For the week commencing with De
cember 16 the grand headline attrac
tion will be Gus Eduards’ new Song
Revue, with Edwards and 30
clever and charming young people. The
engagement of Edwards at Atlanta last
season was one of the events of the
season, and it is to be anticipated that
all week.
"MADAME SHERRY” IS BILL
NEXT WEEK AT LYRIC
Not very much of the story of "Ma
dame Sherry" is revealed in the ad
vance announcements. Mainly the
thread of musical and other Incidents
of this big musical success concern a
young unmarried New York man about
town, spending money sent him by an
uncle, who believes his nephew to lie
married and the father of two chil
dren. The uncle unexpectedly pays a
visit to the studio of the nephew, who,
to support his story of domesticity, is
forced to gather unto himself a family.
He presses his very unpatrlclan house-!
keeper into service to pass as his wife, |
and gets his own sweetheart to pose asi
one of his children, and an adult guest
in his home to answer as his son. It is
from the comic embarrassments grow
ing out of this first situation that the
run of the piece begins. Os course, at
tendant misadventures consequent up
on the first deception follow one an
other throughout the play. The main
love Interest is introduced at the very
outset, with the arrival of the uncle,
who brings with him a relative, Yvonne
Sherry, a young maid just out of a
convent, it develops that the sweet
heart of the young man about town
turns tickle and falls in love with the
gu< st. passing as her brother, a plight
that opens tile way for the mlsclilev-
ously scheming nephew and the visit
ing convent girl to become sweethearts,
which they do in what is declared to
be one of the oddest ways in the world.
Incidentally, it is the love of the con
vent girl and the nephew that intro
duces In the play, as a love theme, the
air of the production, "Ev’ry Little
Movement Has a Meaning All Its Own,"
that is now fast becoming a popular
number all over the world.
The company which will present
“Madame Sherry” for one week at the
Lyric theater, starting Monday, Decem
ber 9, is a company of talented per
formers.
THOMAS E. SHEA IS COMING
FOR LYRIC ENGAGEMENT
Thomas E. Shea will open a week's
engagement at the Lyric commencing
Monday. December 16. offering three
dramas, two from his well known reper
toire and the other his latest great suc
cess, “A Man and His Wife.” The piece
is a dramatization of Samuel Ship
man’s well known novel, “The Spell.”
It furnishes Mr. Shea a modern vehicle
which is likely to establish his popu
larity even more firmly with the theat
rical public.
In addition to “A Man and His Wife,”
Mr. Shea will offer two pieces the pub
lic has learned to love, "Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde” and "The Bells.”

clever.
