I'wo excellent attractions are billed

a inner here. “The Spring Maid” will

WEEK AT THE ATLANTA

Everywoman ,'l-Xrotu. ..the ..pen of . .tire,.
Walter Browne, in many ways the
,ost talked of play of recent years,
ill b>- offered by Henry W. Savage at •
Atlanta theater three nights, be
lling Thursday, January 2, with a
.time Saturday, -with the original
W v V irk production and several mem
i -of the original New York east.
Tills unique play, which has been ac-|
■ <!ed sueh a tumultuous reception by
, . public, is a sort of nondescript in
matter of classitication. It par
,o< of the nature of drama, opera
. nustcnl comedy, and yet in reality
s not defined as belonging to any
' one of these classes.
The production is on a vast scale and
- preparation engaged the various
, aliments of the Savage producing
iii-es for nearly a year.
The cast is a long one and includes
7 speaking characters. The musical
tting is one of the attractive fea
ii'i , as with ail of Mr. Savage’s trav-
■ iing organizations. An entire sym-
Fmy orchestra is carried to propeny
i:i< rpn t tlie score which was composed
■y Hr. George Whitefield Chadwick. |
There is both a grand opera and a mu
-ical comedy chorus and over 100 su
i t-rnumeraries are employed to give
r-aiisin to the scene, representing the
otous revels upon Broadway, New
i>, at midnight on New Year’s eve,
lien the old year Is passing out and
new year coming in. The title role
played by Adele Blood, a young
■ nan of rare beauty.
THE SPRING MAID” BEGINS
WEEK AT THE ATLANTA
is now over a quarter of a century'
>-'■ the famous Gilbert & Sullivan
eider operas dawned upon a delight
-1 music-loving world and took their
laces as classics. Since then no mu
sical plays have dared to aspire to a
place in their class until "The Spring
da id” modestly slipped into New York
vo seasons ago and took that city by
torin. *
Different from most modern musical
i lays, “The Spring Maid” Is filled with
fascinating romance. It does not de
ad upon local "gags,” salacious plot,
questionable situations and scantily
othed chorus women to make it ap
i -aling. Daintiness and charming ro
-1 nice is the keynote of its book.
The score of "The Spring Maid” con
tributes much to its success. Every
where its music has become a favorite
by such gems of melody as "Day
Dreams,” “Two Little Love Bees,”
Fountain Fay” and "How I Love a
Pretty Face.”
The cast that will appear here when
ids bubbling operetta appears at the
Atlanta Tuesday and Wednesday will
ie the same as it was last season dur
ing its coast to coast tour. Matinees
' 111 be given both days.

garet lllington will appear here at the |
Atlanta January 13 and 14. ‘ Kindling"
is a good drama, powerful in treatment
and contains one scene which for vital (
force quite surpasses the big situation
in “The Thief," Miss Illington's previ
ous starring venture.
“THE PRINCE OF PILSEN" WILL
BRING LAUGHS IN JANUARY
Frequent repetitions of the Pixley
and Luders musical comedy, “The
Prince of Filsen,” have not dulled the’
point of its humor nor lessened popular
appreciation of its tuneful airs and
poetic lyrics; hence its return to the
Atlanta January 9 and 10. It has much
to commend it to popularity; a wealth
of melody and harmony set to a story in
which romance and humor play equal
parts; it is clothed in a fitting garni
ture of scenic and costume adornment;
its cast has been chosen to give best
expression to the variant moods of its
characters, and the work of its princi
pals is supplemented by the efforts of
chorus contingents in which excellent
voices are allied to pleasing personali
ties.
FINE PRODUCTION OF
“MERRY WIDOW" PROMISED
The whirling, jiggery Maxim Girls,
who make the last act of "The Merry
Widow” one of bewildering fascination,
are this season led by Cynthia Perot, as
Zo Zo. The others are Fl Ft, Viola
Napp; Lo Lo, Anna Gartin; Do Do.
Helen Hillarde; Jou Jou, Florence Ben
ner; Frou Frou, Margaret Latham; Clo
CIo, Betty Stone: Margot, Ethel Lang
don; Zu Zu, May Robinson, and Sapho,
Louise Cook. They will all be in Henry
W. Savage's new and lavish production
of tile great operetta at th<- Atlanta
theater Monday. January 1".

••ADELAIDE THURSTON IS
COMING IN A NEW PLAY
In "The Love Affair," a new comic
play of today by Federick Paulding.
Adelaide Thurston's newest vehicle. ’
which wiil be seen at the Atlanta Jan
ina ry 6,7 and ■*. Mis's Thurston has a
• play that was w ritten especially for i
! her. The play is clean, dainty, full of
surprises of the congenial kino and
’clever situations.
j The company engaged has be. n caie

WALTER JONES TO PLAY
"BABY MINE" AT LYRIC
"Bubj Mine." the international com
edy triumph by Margaret Mayo, under
the direction of William A. Brady, will
again be seen here for an engagement
of one week for the first time at popu
lar prices, at the Lyric, starting Mon
day night, with matinees on Tuesday,
Wednesday (New Years day). Thurs
day and Saturday, with Walter Jones
in his original role. "Baby Mine,” un
like many so-called fun plays, gets a
hold of the funny bone of Its audience
at the very outset and proceeds to
tickle it for two and one-half hours—
not moderately nor modestly, but bois
terously and strenuously, until the au
dience fairly shouts with glee. A young
married couple are quarreling at the
very beginning of the performance. In
a towering rage, the young husband
leaves the house and remains away for
three months, after which period the
clever young wife makes up her mind
that woman’s ingenuity should be suf
ficient to formulate a scheme to bring
back tier wandering better half. The
wife consults a friend, who advises her
to wire the absent husband, telling him
that he is ttje proud father of a lusty
infant. A child is secured for the pur
pose, but the husband appears on the
scene sooner than expected, ami even
before the child is brought it.to the
-I-house. In the meantime, the real moth
er of the baby is seized with remorse
and demands the child back. Again the
friend rushes off to get another baby,
and It is in the subsequent complica
tions incident to the arrival and rescue
i of this child that the affair takes on an
amusing and amazing aspect. The fun,
. once started, is kept up to the very end
of the comedy, with never the sugges
i tion of a let-up.
Walter Jones, who created the role of
"Jimmy" in the original production, as
played by him in New York city over
150 times, will be a feature of the met
ropolitan cast to be seen here. Mr.
Jones, through illness, was denied the
privlleg. of appearing here In the i4ay
during last season's engagement, hence’
his appearance in his original part will
add to the general excellence of the
present cast.
“IN OLD KENTUCKY” COMES
TO LYRIC WEEK AFTER NEXT
"In Old Kentucky,” the popular and
everlasting drama of the Bluegrass
state, Is announced for appearance at
the Lyric theater, beginning Monday
evening, January 6. Its appeal has never
lessened, and Its, wonderful drawing
power is the marvel of theatrical cir
cles.
ANOTHER BIG BILL IS
BOOKED NEXT AT GRAND
For next week the Grand's bill will
be composed of seven Keith vaudeville
acts, the like of which have not been
seen since vaudeville was brought to
th. Grand.
Tne headline feature was drafted
from a score of offerings, because it is
believed to be the biggest musical of
fering in the varieties. It Is Jesse Las
ky s "The Antique Girl.” with fifteen
people, including Eugene MacGregor,
Dorris Wilson and Mae Busch. The act
carries special scenery and uses all of
its own musical numbers. Special scen
ery will add to its value, and the fore
word that has cotn- from the booking
managers is that this act should prove

SMOKING IN CHURCH.
The notice put up by the vicar of
Lancaster forbidding visitors to smoke
in the church reminds a contemporary
that one or two centuries ago smoking
in church was the practice In England.
Wooden spittoons, filled with sawdust,
were placed about the church for the
smokers, and they sometimes left their
long clays, or "churchwardens," in the
care of the verger until the next Sun
day came round.
It is told of the incumbent of a War
wickshire church that he used to smoke |
regularly in the vestry while the con- !
gregation were singing the hymn before ;
the sermon. He made a point of select
ing u long hymn to give himself time
to get through his pipe. "My people,"
he said, "like long hymns, but I pre
fer a long pipe.’’
