“Are You a Mason?”
New Play at Atlanta.
Persons wishing to forget their
troubles and have a good laugh
i should see “Are You a Mason?” at
the Atlanta Theater this week, as
played bv the Miss Billy Long Com
pany. The play, which was adapted
from the German by Leo Ditrichstein,
has been declared by many of the
critics throughout the country to be
i one of the most laughable farces ever
written. It has proved such a great
success in stock that it is now classed
! among the high royalty plays.
The new stock company has a
strong hold on the theatergoing pub
lic of Atlanta, and Miss Long and
her able associates have already
gained a large following. They have
been seen in romantic comedy and
drama and will now show what they
can do in farce.
A large cast is required for “Are
You a Mason?” nnd several impor
tant additions have been made to
the company.
Miss Long will play the part of
Mrs. Perry, the young and trusting
wife, while Edwin Vail will play the
husband. The role of Amos Blood-
good will fall to William Triplett, and
i Frank Marthy will be cast as Ham-
I llton Travers, an actor. Bert Gard
ner will be given the best oppor
tunity he has had since the com
pany opened In the role of George
1 Fisher, who disguises himself as a
girl. Allan Robinson will play the
i real Mason, while others in the cast
| will be Joseph Kirkham, A1 Warren,
Kathryn Sheldon. Lillian Triplett,
Mabel lnslee and Helen Fred win.
The many friends of Miss Agnes
Tinsley Hurrison will he pleased to
find her in the cast this week, and
•she will be cast as one of Mr. Blood-
good’s daughters.
Matinees hereafter will be held on
Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
! Following “Are You a Mason?” the
' company will present “The Deep
Purple,” which has never been played
In Atlanta, nnd which ran one whole
I season In New' York.
rles of Southern concerts have been
given under the management of Mr.
Harold S. Holmes, of Atlanta. Mr.
and Mrs. von Sklblnskv leave won lo
fill some concert engagements in the
East, after which they sail for Ger
many to spend the summer.

n Jeweler In (in interview In The
Pall Mall Gazette, London, on the
subject of the statement made by Sir
Courtauld Thom-on that "jewelry Is
a distinct class of investment."
“On the contrary," this authority
added, “they would have had the
pleasure of wearing their jewels all
this tlnv' and of knowing that they
could In many cases realize more than
they paid for them.”
The reason, it was explained, for

Mr-
U NLESS all signs are wrong, the
Atlanta theaters have settled
dowm for a lengthy warm-
weather run. The return of Keith
vaudeville to the Forsyth evidently
caught popular favor, as that cosy
little pl&yhouise has been crowded at
matinees and evening performance*
ever since the change was made. It
may he. too. that the excellence of re
cent bills at that house had a great
deal to do with drawing the crowds.
At any rate, the crowds have been
going and the programs have pleased
8o that’. 4 * the answer.
The bill announced for this week
carries the name of Paul Dickey, the
famous football star, as the head
liner. All the other numbers are said
to be right up to Keith rtandard.

Novelty Act Headliner
At the Bijou This Week.
j Unusual interest will doubtless be
manifested in this week’s vaudeville
offering for the Bijou, as four re
markably clever acts have been
booked and one of the most expen
sive bills of the season will be pre
sented. The special headline feature

happened to be the headline feature hats, a novelty trick bicycle and
auto act, composed of two men. two
women and a dog. As a novelty,
the act stands out as one of the
most Interesting that has been offered
It appeared that everybody in the
city tried to get a seat for one of the
twelve performances each week. Tno
seating capacity of the theater Is as
great ae any other house, with the ex
ception of the Grand, but even at that
there have been times when even
standing room has been sold to the
limit.
The main reason for thla condition
is the fact that the better class of
vaudeville acts have worked around
to where they are at liberty to play
here. Some of the biggest headliners
in the profession have been secured
by contract, and the quality and pol-
ic> of last summer is to be repeated.
