ITEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, OA., SUNDAY, AUGUST 24, 1913.
Atlanta la due to have the biggest
season In the history of Ita theaters
this fail and winter. With the set
tling of the fight between the In
terests of Klaw A* Erlanger and the
followers of the Hhuberts, the theatri
cal atmosphere has cleared. As a re
sult, all the better shows from the
various producing firms will come to
the playhouse which Charles Froh-
man and Klaw & Erlnnger operate
here—-the Atlanta Theater. The of
ferings at the other playhouses will
be up to a higher standard os well,
and the public may raise Its voice In
thanks.
So says Homer C. George. Atlanta
manager of the Klaw A Erlanger In
terests. who Is back from New York
with his contracts and with an
amount of enthusiasm far-reaching
In Its effect. Mr. George spent the
entire summer In and around New
York, and says it Is wonderful what
changes have been accomplished since
the theatrical war ended. Best of all,
the majol* changes work for the In
terests of the cities outside of New
York through the elimination of many
plays which do not reach the new
standard In players.
Musical Comedy Openers.
The Atlanta will open a week from
Wednesday night with a musical
comedy of the airy, light variety. It
Is “Mary's Lamb." which Richard
Carle played Just previous to his
break with his former partner,
Charles Marks. Mr. Mitrks Is Inter
ested In the company which will ap
pear here, and has had charge of the
rehearsals in an efTort to make It as
near the original as possible. It Is
an attractive little play for the open
ing of the house, which really takes
place a week earlier than usual.
Following “Mary’s iAmb," another
musical playy will come In “Little
Miss Fix-It," which will be given as
done by Hayes and Norworth when
first produced. It should prove as
different as day and night from the
performances given when Eva T&n-
guay appeared In it here.
The big show's and the real treats
begin to come late In September.
“Quincy Adams Sawyer." a comedy
of rare appeal. Is one of these. Then
Al G. Field and his merry minstrels
arrive for three days in September.
This Is an annual event which In
variably packs the Atlantn to its
utmost capacity at each performance
for Field has a great hold upon the
local public. Two years ago when
he appeared for the first time at the
Atlanta he drew hundreds from as
far away as 200 miles.
“Ready Money” to Appear.
The month of September will close
with one of the brightest and finest
comedies of recent years. “Ready
Money,” by James Montgomery.
When this play opened In Chicago
and likewise In New' York It was a
toss up as to which was the best,
“Officer 666," seen here last year;
“Within the Law." now running in
New York, or “Ready Money.” At
lanta is certain to like It Im
mensely.
October will open with a bright
musical comedy, "Little Hoy Rlue ”
in w r hlch Otis Harlan will make his
first local appearance In many years.
Miss Annie Russell, a noted star
who has not been South In some
years, comes in October. Miss Rus
sell will give some of her greatest
successes, the names of which have
not been definitely settled. October
will also witness the appearance of
Al Wilson, “Mutt and Jeff in Pana
ma,” the “North of ’63“ pictures and
the first visit here of the reunited
Primrose and Dockstader Minstrels
Many Stars Are Promised.
Atlanta will have an abundant
number of stars during the season.
May Irwin, w'ho has not been South
In many years, will bring her comedy
from the Cohan Theater here. Ev
ery one remembers May Irwin, for
no more popular actress than she
ever visited the South. Rose Sta ll
will be a real treat In “Maggie Pep
per.” which is as much of a classic
as “The Chorus Lady," except that
It deals with a department store girl
rather than one from the stage. The
play Is Just as interesting.
Among the new plays early in the
year Is “The Conspiracy," which deals
with the white slave traffic and which
Is as intensely Interesting as “With
in the Law." “The Leopard's Spots,"
by Thomas Dixon, Is also a new play
sure to cause much talk. “Romance"
is probably the sweetest stage story
In recent years and made bad old
New York dream of happiness many
a night last spring.
All those who have read “Little
Women” know what a wonderful
story It Is The play has a stronger
appeal than the book and Is sure to
attract hundreds during Its stay of
three days. A new musical play of
the higher class Is “The Firefly," in
w hich Mme. Tnmtini starred last sea
son. It Is probable she will play
here, though Oscar Hammersuin has
not decided so far. He sends the
operatta South.
“Hen llur," the famous spectacular
Biblical play, will return to Atlanta
for a week and is certain to be greet
ed with enthusiasm since It has not
been here In some years The Trail
of the Lonesome Pine” is one of the
few good shows which will be given
a repetition. Its appeal is so gen
eral that It is certain to atttra<t
many. Both these plays are from
the Klaw & Erlanger office, as Is
Robert Hilliard in “The Argyle Case"
which William J. Burns assisted to
write and stage Mr. Hilliard is re
membered for his great work In "A
Fool There Was.”
“The Blue Bird” Also Booked.
‘Tine Feathers” Is another now and
Important play to be aeon. An all-
star cast will give It. This la the
latest Eugene Walter success. "The
Girl of My Dreams," musical comedy,
will be seen South for the first time.
“Within the Law,” the greatest of re
cent sucoe.sses. comes Christmas week
for three days. Previous to that
n not her important star will appear
In the person of William Faversham.
who will give hls wonder production
of “Julius Caesar,” with Clssle Lof-
tus and other famous players in the
cast.. The presentation will bo an
event of the year.
The Shubcrt office will send Atlan
ta the big production of “The Blue
Bird," as given at the New Theater
during the regime of it.s founders. No
more magnificent and poetical at
traction has ever been staged than
this. The Cohan At Harris office will
send George M. Cohan’s last year’s
farce, “Broadway Jones," the first of
the Cohan plays without music or
dancing. This Is conceded the great
est play Cohan has yet written. Mr
Belasco will *end “The Governor’s
Lady," In w'hioh Atlanta's own Su
perb actress, Gladys Han~on, appear
ed last year. "Officer 666” and "Polly
of the Circus” also return.
For the second time in her career,
Mmo. Nazlmova will play In Atlanta.
She will be here three nights In Jan
uary in the noted play, “Bella Don-
na,” In which she has scored the tri
umph of her artistic career. The
story of this famous Russian actress
Is like a fairy tsle, and she has thou
sands of worshipers In the South, as
well as elsewhere.
Pavlowa Coming in March.
Another famous woman star to re
turn South Is Mrs. Flske, w’ho will
play “The High Road." the best play
of recent years. Mrs. Flske has a
tremendous following In Atlanta. John
Drew also has a big following here,
and this number will be glad to know
he will pe.v Atlanta another visit. He
opens next week In New York, play
ing “Much Ado About Nothing."
February will be made notable
through the visit of the English
Shakespearean players from the Me
morial Theater. Stratford-on-Avon,
who will give Shakespearean produc
tions as they were originally written.
This will be an educational event sure
to attract all colleges and hundreds
of students of. the drama. A new
farce will be seen near the same time
in "Stop, Thief," while George Evans
also will help enliven the month. Nell
O’Brien will follow a few weeks later
with hls minstrels.
March will bo a notable month
through the visit of Mme. Pavlowa
the Russian dancer, with a big com-
ivany of stars. Henry Miller also will
visit the South at this time. "Tho
Count of Luxembourg" is a big mu
sical play to be seen for the first
time South. Otis Skinner will bring
“Kismet" here for Its first appear
ance. The month also will be marked
by “Damaged Goods," the noted eu
genics play which has created such a
furore through Its frank treatment of
the big physiological subject.

PARIS, Aug. 23.—Is Canada to be
come the operatic center of America?
According to Max Rabinoff, the
new director of the National Opera
Company of Canada, who has Just
completed a tour through nearly all
of the European countries In search
of singers, New York, Boston, Phila
delphia and Chicago will have a for
midable competitor for operatic glory
In Montreal.
If he succeeds In all the projeccs
he has in mind, Montreal will be
come the distributing point for grand
opera In America.
Not Amusement de Luxe.
"There Is a fallacious idea,” said
Mr. Rabinoff this week, “that grand
opera can be nothing else than an
entertainment de luxe. We Intend to
make grand opera a truly national
amusement.
“When I say grand op«ra, I mean
an organization which counts in its
ranks singers of the highest order,
which presents w'orks in a manner
that leaves little room for criticism
and takes a place second to no other
operatic organization.
“Whether I have succeeded in dis
covering new Carusos and Melbas or
not, I can state that we shall have no
failures among our singers.
Plans American Tour.
“Our plans enable us to give grand
opera on a $3 scale; but this does not
mean opera of an Inferior brand.
There is so much undiscovered tal
ent that it would be an absolu-te im
possibility for any combination of
men to secure a complete monopoly
of it.
“The opera company of w'hich I am
the head will not confine its operi-
tions to Canada. We intend to make
an American tour, but not in the spir
it of competition.”

LONDON, Aug. 23.—Emerson
Whithome, who started in London the

ese* music, vulgarly known as “yel
low music,” and has produced such
popular pieces as “The Typhoon” and
“The Yellow Jacket," is planning to

Inspiration for the composition of this
class of music is not known, but hie
creations are based strictly on the
music of the yellow races and are
played nightly.
Resurrects Medieval Harmonies.
He does not, however, confine hls
attention exclusively to the music of
the East, as he has specialized exten
sively in a unique form of music
based on that of the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries.
He came out strongly in this direc
tion at the famous Shakespeare ball
given at the Albert Hall, having com
posed the music for the wonderful
Elizabethan dances which played so
conspicuous a part at that entertain
ment.
Music Charms Prince Henry.
This he did at the special request
of Lady Randolph Churchill—then
Mrs. Cornwallis West. The dances
captivated Prince Henry of Prussia
to such a degree that he now holds
the originals MSS. for use of hls own
private band. The dances are orches
trated for over 200 instruments.
The brilliant young composer is
now engaged on the composition of
several new and striking pieces which
he proposes to produce for the first
time on his forthcoming American
tour.

means entertainment. It used to be a
sort of society fad to visit the*For-
syth, but now most people go to the
theater for satisfying entertainment,
while the fad still exists stronger than
ever. That Is the reason scores se
cure reservations fur in adavnee, and
without knowing what the attraction
Is to be. The Forsyth has established
confidence.
The program for the week starting
with the matinee on Monday will In
troduce some of the best known peo
ple In tho profession. Fred Bond and
Miss Fremont Benton, stars In the
legitimate field, will be seen In their
best farce comedy sketch, “Handker
chief No. 15.” In this act, in addi
tion to the two stars, there are two
other clever people, and New York
reviewers say the playlet is one of
tho cleverest that has been yet of
fered.
The Four Regals will support the
novelty part of the bill, presenting a
strong-man feature. These men have
been imported from the Berlin Cir
cus Schuman and come direct to
New York from the London Hippo
drome, where they have been draw
ing features. Lewis and Dody are
on the bill. They are funny men, not
Just chaps that sing and dance and
cut capers. The Meredith Sisters will
present new' songs and a lot of pret'y
gowns Joe Flynn, monologist, and
Claude Golden, card expert, will have
important positions on the bill.
There is still another act to com
plete the program. It Is going to he
a surprise, one like the appearance
of Toots Paka last wee‘k.
Kinemacolor To Be
Feature at Grand.
Kinemacolor. the process of mo
tion picture projection that makes
the subject in natural color, will be
the Grand's attraction in the future.
The' novelty was seen at the Forsyth
twro years ago when the coronation
of King George w r as exhibited to more
than 18,000 in one w’eek.
Jake Wells promised the Atlanta
movie fans that he would give them
the best and already has sent some
wonderful pictures to the Grand. A
few weeks ago the Kinemacolor peo
ple announced they were ready to re
lease enough new subjects for con
tinuous programs. Mr. Wells acted
quickly and secured the exclusive
Southern producing rights.
The program for the week starting
dally at 2:30, 5 cents admission, con
tinuing until 7 o’clock, when the ad
mission fee will he 10 cents until
closing time, includes some of the
subjects the company has produced.
For Monday and Tuesday the of
ferings will be “Tested by Fire" and
"Life In a Maori Village." Wednes
day and Thursday “The Scarlet Let
ter,” and Friday and Saturday
“Other People's Children" and “Beach
Scenes Around New York."
Each day there will be two first-
run exclusive black and w'hite pic
tures.
