With every part excellently cast. “The Girl From (Jut Yonder” was given the initial performance of the week by Miss Billy Long and supporting company at tho Atlanta last night. The big audience was in thorough sympathy with the work of the players, generous in applause und laughter. The central characters in the story are the daughter and father, played by Miss Long and Joseph Kirkmtm. and that their work was most excellent is best evidenced by the fact that the big scene -the parting -in the third act whs met by a silence as breathless us it was profound, and in which the female cle ment of the audience were constantly drying their eyes, more or less surrep titiously. The story of tho play briefly is that an old light house keeper has reared his daughter from infancy to young womanhood as a rough little sea chap, with all the characteristics and manners of the rough sea folks. When the story opens she has met a young civil en gineer and they love each other. The old fat Iter believes that twenty years earlier in* lias murdered the civil en gineer’s father in a drunken lit. That his daughter may marry' the young man, he tells her that she is not his daugh ter, but u Lit of human flotsam from a wreck. That another killed the en gineer’s father is shuwn in the last act, and all comes out right. Without exception, every part was well played, ami besides those men- tioneo above, Ralph Marthy as Joey handled a difficult character study well, Pythians of Atlanta To Build a Castle Association Files Petition for Char ter—Capital Stock $50,000.
