sc n as conductor of the Philharmonic

Tabloid Musical Comedy and
Vaudeville Is This Week’s
Program at the Bijou.
T HERE will be variety a plenty in
the theater bills this week. At
the Atlanta Miss Billy Long
and her associate players will present
Paul Armstrong and Wilson Mlzner’s
"The Deep Purple,’’ a play dealing
with "crocks” and those upon whom
they prey. The Forsyth will offer
Keith vaudeville, consisting of seven
numbers, the headliner act being Ed
Gillette’s "Adam and Eve.’’ two re
markable monkeys. At the Bijou the
policy ha® been changed from vaude
ville and motion pictures to tabloid
musical coma.dy. interspersed with
va udeville.
‘ ‘ The Deep Purple ’ ’
Is Bill at Atlanta.
The Miss Billy Long^Company will
present "The Deep Purple at the At
lanta theater this week and much J n-
terest centers in the production as d
will be fhe first time this stirring
drama ha® been seen in Atlanta. The
play ran for one whole season in New
York.
Although melodramatic in its struc
ture, there is some excellent comedy
and also romantic interest. "The Deep
Purple" is by Paul Armstrong a.iu
Wilson Mizner and is in five acts.
Miss Long will play the part of
Kate Fallon, a reformed crook, and
it will give her more opportunities
titan she has yet had to show her rpal
ability. To Miss Tinsley Harrison,
the Atlanta member of tm- company,
w ill be entrusted one of the best parts
in the play.
Mr. Vail will play Laylock. a fugi
tive from the law. and Allan Robin
son will be Leland. a badger game
worker. The role of Pop Clark, an
other crook, will fall to William Trip
lett Others in the cast will be Miss
Sheldon. Mies Triplett. Miss Inslee,
Mr Warren. Mr. Gardner and Mr.
Kirkham.
The matinees will be on Monday,
Wednesday and Saturday.
Keith Vaudeville
At the Forsyth.
There is to be vaudeville at the For
syth again this week, and there are
seven acts on the new bill. There are
always seven acts on a Keith bill in
Tabloid Musical
Comedy at Bijou.
Bijou patrons can class themselves j
as lucky, for the management of the
theater has decided on a campaign of
tabloid musical comedy, commencing
with matinee to-morrow. Tabloids
will follow each other even- week. I
There will be no advance in the Bi
jou's set prices of admission. There
will be daily matinees—two matinees
j every Monday and Saturday—and j
there will be two evening perform -
j anoes, 7:30 and 9 o’clock. The ad-I
i mission to any performance will be
10 cents, and a section of seats clos-
* est to the stage will be reserved at
I 10 cents extra.
The opening attraction will be "A
Trip to Joyville,” with a company cf
| twenty entertaining people, including
a corps of pretty girls. Warner and
Whyte, eccentric grotesque dancers,
Fidello. the ragtime violinist, and oth
ers will take part.
DRAMA NOTES
Cosmo Hamilton’s play, "The Blind
ness of Virtue" seems to be one of
the great hits of the year. It ran
in one theater in Chicago for several
months and was only taken off be
cause id her engagements made it
necessary. There are six companies
now; acting this drama through the
country.
• * *
It appears that “The Harbour
Watch,” tiie one-act play by Rud-
yard Kipling produced by Messrs.
Vedrenne and Eadie in the London
Royalty Theater, is founded upon his
story "Bopds of Discipline.” in which,
as will be remembered, the rules of
the naval service were shockingly re
laxed for the edification of a zealous
French officer who had got on board
as a stowaway The tale ends with
the transfer of the amazed French
man to the stokehole of an English
tramp steamer after a mock execu
tion on the man-of-war.
♦ * *
The difficulty in selecting material
certain to prove successful in Amer
ica is shown by some recent statis
tics of the works most recently pop
ular in Europe. "The Polish Wed
ding” was produced early this sea
son by Cohan & Harris. Its Amer
ican presentation proved impossible.
It was abandoned after futile efforts
to make it go. Yet in its original
form "Polnlsche Wirtsjtfliaft” was act-
ed during 1911-12 in Germany more
than anv other musical play, or in all
j 3.798 times.
* * *
David Belasi'o has been sued for
infringement of copyright by Miss
Amelia Bachman, of New York, who
asserts that "The Case of Becky”
is founded upon the manuscript of
1 the play called "Estelle,’ which she
i submitted to Mr. Belasco. Mr. Be-
lasco denies that he has ever seen
Miss Bachman’s play. Mr. Edward
Locke accredited writer of the play
’declares that it is a dramatization of
a book entitled "Disassociation of
Personality." written in 1908 by Dr.
Morton Prince, a nerve specialist.
THROUGH SIBERIA.
To the mind of the average reader
Siberia stands for a waste of bleak
I and barren places, a synonym of exile
and enforced labor in mines and
government works.
In a recent volume, through Siberia,
by Richardson L. Wright and Bassett
i Digby (McBride-Nast and Co., $2.00),
the author through the calcium
| light observation on a country
| they call an empire in the making.
Third class on the continent as we
| know it is considered quite the thing.
I but third class oh the Trans-Siberian
j Express evidently has its drawbacks.
Where are the tales of ye old time
j travellers—those who swore at the
fleas—for our present authors de-
i dare they never met one of the nim
ble-footed gentry?
The book abounds with intimate
little incidents out of the usual run.
Not many of us know that the
"passport of a wolf” means no rest
for the political banished, who are
condemned not to remain in any one
town* for more than twenty-four;
■ hours. Nor perhaps do we realize i
, that the Chinese have discovered
that it pays better to be a bootblack
at five cents for ten minutes than a i
(coolie for eighteen cents for all day. \
From Moscow to 203-Metre Hill
; is no mean journey. The reader may
I travel it in this volume with a mini- >
mum of Inconvenience and a maxi- i
• mum of pleasure.

THE FETTERS OF FREEDOM.
Cyrus Townsend Brady is always
! sure of an appreciative audience. The
author of "The West Wind" and
"The Island of Regeneration" has an
unmistakable knack of holding the
attention. This faculty is one to be
envied even if it is one of the ele
mental esentials. In his latest novei
"The Fetters of Freedom" (Dodd,
Mead & Co.. $1.35), he lays his scenes
in the time of that Caesar who loved
to see Rome burn.
Attilius. a patrician, returning to j
the Imperial City after a honorable
service, has occasion during a tem
pestuous trip from Egypt to Italy to
learn in a superficial manner/of the
tenets of the then new < Christian re-j
ligion. Afterward he falls under the
spell of the beauty of a Christian
slave from Britain, and finally sacri
fices fortune and country to follow i
her.
This is the story in brief. Like i
many stories that have preceded it. 1
it gives an adequate idea of the cus
toms and made of living of the Ro
mans in the early years of our
era.
We may sum up its strength by j
calling it a readable novel on an old j
subject. At least the love story
which runs through its pages has the
merit of leaving the reader at a goal
where happiness seems to be inevita- |
ble instead of forcing him to be a
spectator at the usual -stake, with a
howling mob cheering as the flames :
creep about the unfortunate martyr. !
THE FRINGE OF THE DES
ERT.
A singularly fascinating novel isj
The Fringe of the Desert, by Rachel j
Swete. MacNamara (G. P. Tutnam's j
sons, $4.36), with a subtle appeal 1
throughout its pages.
The girl./Whose father and mother
cast her off with the provision that j
when she reached twenty she was to ;
spend six months with one and six:
months with the other, and there- |
after choose her own way, is an
original and lovable character.
Hi Id-red comes to her mannish
mother as one might come to an ut
ter stranger. She finds that the|
woman who dresses in masculine!
clothes and dotes on dogs and golf j
and cigarettes is about as unsympa
thetic a perscyi as one could imagine.
And later she discovers in her
father a puzzle just about as unfath
omable. Mr. Ivors might be called
"the man who never grew up:" he
spends his time in Egypt, painting I
and enjoying life.
Self is the predominating note of
his existence, and it is not until he
happens to meet Hesper Marlowe, a
chance traveling companion of Hil-
dred's, that he begins to find that
love will have his due of all of us
and in spite of us.
Miss Marlowe and the Ivorses are
invited by an unkind fate to take a
trip up the Nile In a dahabieh, and
then* Ivors discovers that in Miss
Marlowe he has found what he has
missed all his life.
He runs away. Hildred goes back
to England to enter a hospital and 1
her father runs across Miss Marlowe
by accident -in Capri.
He marries, or rather goes through
a marriage ceremony with her? and
thereafter grows thin and sick and
miserable wondering how he is going
to tell her he is a bigamist.
Th<- doctor sees that he cannot last,
and Hildred is sent for. From her
the new wife learns that she is no
wife at all, and yet with a love that
is far too noble for Ivors she re
mains with him till he dies.
A stirring study ot the depths of
human nature is admirably worked
out and with a heart throb all its
• * *
THE KALLIKAK FAMILY.
A small book, but a book destined
to have a permanent place, is the
Kallikak Family, by Henry Herbert
Goddard. (The MacMillan Company,
$1.50). It is not fiction, but stern
est fact; and it is the scenario of a
human drama, big with fate.
Briefly, a soldier of the Revolution
is found to have been the head of
two families. One mother was a
half-witted, immoral girl, hanging
around tffi* soldiers’ camp. The oth
er was a normal wife and home-mak
er. Over a thousand descendants
springing from these two houses are
living in New Jersey.
The progeny of the weak-minded
mother furnishes a long line of de
generates—nearly all of them, public
menaces and charges. From the off
spring of the normal mother have
come two Governors, many doctors,
lawyers, and other strong citizens.
The facts and implications are
startling. The book is live matter
for all interested in the social wel
fare. # \
