5 THE ATLANTA C.EOROIAN AND NEWS. WITS LIB' Anyway, Season at the Atlanta Theater Is Opened—Some Good Shows Coming. By TARLETON COLLIER. The Atlanta Theater, being a worthy house of entertainment, not to speak of its being the stronghold of the mighty K. & E., deserved really a more auspicious opening for the new season than came with the “Mary’s Lamb” production Wednesday night. A certain element of the Atlanta au dience—not the best-paying patrons, either—seemed to enjoy some fea tures of the show. The others—well, the spirit of Richard Carle must have been sorely troubled last night. But then there is no place in the world for invidious comparisons. Anyhow. “Mary’s Lamb” did one thing. The Atlanta Theater was offi cially opened by the performance. A fair-sized crowd came to the first show, regardless of the age of the at traction. and the little promise that the billboards and advance notices held out. Thus the popularity of the Atlanta Theater was proved. And, Judging from the contents of the pretentious-appearing program, particularly page 11, on which was the forecast of the season’s attrac tions, almost everything has been done to clinch the popularity that successful seasons of the past have engendered. Most promising are the shows that have been contracted, the list including some of the most suc cessful productions, with the bright est stars of the American theatrical heavens. Altogether the season bids fair to be successful, even with the—well, let Us say the “inauspicious” opening. If all the cast of “Mary’s Lamb” had begun to measure up to Den Mc Grath, the pseudo-successor of Rich ard Carle, the show might have been at least acceptable. But the cast didn't. Mr. McGrath was a lone fig ure. Crowds at Bijou. Two large audiences witnessed the matinee and night performances of “The Man From the West” yesterday at the Bijou. Jewell Kelley’s second week is proving a splendid success. Both the company and the play have received the highest praise from patrons of the pop ular little theater, and with the present play the company has established itself firmly with local theatergoers. “The Man From the West” will continue at the Bijou the balance of the week with the usual matinees at 2:30 and evening performances at 8:30. Next Week at Lyric. “The Call of the Heart” is being ad vertised as next week’s attraction for the Lyric. Few plays that visited the Carnegie Way theater last season made so many friends or scored such a dis tinct hit as this one. This year the company includes Ann Hamilton, Clar ence Bellair, C B Waters, Wells Play- ter, Helen Aubrey, Wallace Franklyn, Billie Shay, Corwin Luskmoor and oth er favorites. “The Call of the Heart” will be played all next week at the Lyric with the usual matinees. Forsyth Bill Pleases. Delightful vaudeville at the Forsyth is about the way to express it. There are so many acts that register hits that some of the most exacting critics have had to say that the show is superior to some of the past offerings at the busy theater and better than a great many of the hit makers of the summer sea son. But, regular season vaudeville is now on. and that has a lot to do with the conditions. If you have never seen what hap pens every Monday morning at a vaude ville playhouse you may get a pretty good idea of the situation by seeing the Sam Mann feature on this bill. There is much comedy and just enough heart Interest in making a duo make-up after a separation, to class the act with the best hits of the season. Willard Simms & Co., in “Flanders’ Furnished Flat;” Alexander and Scott, in songs, and the Gasch sisters in gymnastics, make up a hill that is crowding the theater at al! performances. Grand Kinemacolor. Kinemacolor subjects at the Grand from 2:30 to 10:30 to-day and to-mor row will he “Keeping Up With Hubby’’ and “Life in Lapland.” three reels of most interesting natural color pictures. The popularity of the Grand is spring ing along at a rapid rate. There is all the time a stream of people passing in and out of the big theater and once in side the amusement seekers find the very best black and white features and the greatest Kinemacolor subjects—the only place in Atlanta this last word in motion pictures can be seen. Eugene Field Shaft In Chicago Planned CHICAGO, Sept. 4.—Plans for a memorial for Eugene Field, the poet, started to-day In Chicago, and a cam paign of publicity to cover the United States was being formulated.

GABY DESLYS A FAIR SPECT ER CHARLTON VIEWS AT WEDDING OF EX-KING MANUEL DEATH TRUNK PRINCESS A UGUSTINE VICTOR’IA rT"-«r Deposed Portuguese Ruler and Hohenzollern Princess Married at Sigmaringen. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. BERLIN, Sept. 4.—-Manuel II, de posed King of Portugal, and Princess Augustine Victoria were married to day. Amid all the pomp and grandeur of nuptial rites was a distinct feeling of uneasiness shown specially in the careful arrangements made to prevent the appearance at the wedding of un desirable and unbidden guests. The feeling was prompted by feat of "another woman.” And that "other woman" was no less a personage tnan Gaby Deslys, who won Manuel’s heart when he was a real king, helped to lu.ve him thrown into the royal discard and then laughed at him. Gaby was in Europe, although it was not known where. And some there are close to the former Portuguese ruler who feared she would try to see him at the last moment, and—well make things unpleasant. Wedding at Ancient Castle. The marriage of Manuel and Lie daughter of Prince William of Ho henzollern took place at Singmariu- gen, a Hohenzollern castle whicn dates from the beginning of the Christian era. There was a brilliant gathering of princes and princesses. Among them were the Prince of Wales, represent ing King George of England; Prince Eitel Frederick, representing Em peror William of Germany; Prince and Princess Henry XXXII of Reuss; Princess Friedrich of Hohenzollern; Prince Carol and Princess Elizabeth. Also among the seventy-five guests were the Duke of Montpensier, who declined to be King of Albania, Queen Mother Amelia of Portugal; the Infante and Infanta Carlos of Spain, representing King Alfonso; the Duke and Duchess of Coburg, the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden; the Duke of Oporto, of Portu gal, uncle of ex-King Manuel; the Duke and Duchess D'Aosta of Italy, representing King Victor Emmanuel; Prince William oi Hohenzollern, fa ther of the bride, and Count August Eulenburg, grand marshal to the reigning Hohenzollern family In Ger many.

Manuel, while recognized by courtesy as i king by rulers Europe, is not viewed as a real sovereign, and, therefore, they sent their chil dren to the wedding, just a: grown ups send their children to see a chil dren’s play. Nevertheless the marriage was an imposing one. It was celebrated in the castle chapel, and was in ac cordance with the rites' of the Ro man Catholic Church. Cardinal Netto, once archbishop, patriarch of Lisbon, conducted the religious part of the service. Before that there was tne civil ceremony, at which Count Au gust Eulenburg, Earl Marshal to the Hohenzollern family, officiated. Four Royal Bridesmaids. In the church ceremony the bride was given away by her father. Four royal princesses acted as bridesmaids. Enormous crowds of townspeople and strangers began gathering around the castle early in the day. Prince William had great tables set along the roadway filled with good things to eat and drink, and all were invited to help themselves. Many tourists who happened to be in the neighborhood drove into the picturesque little vil lage, hoping to get a peep at some of the distinguished guests, and maybe at Manuel himself. The wedding gifts cost a fortuhe. The royalists of Portugal collected $20,000 and sent some handsome plate; the bridegroom presented hib bride with a costly string of pearls; King George and Queen Mary of Eng land sent a silver dinner service, and Queen Mother Alexandria of England sent a gold w ine service.

The service will begin at 7:45 o’clock. Bram spoke at prayer meeting at the church Wednesday night. Fol lowing the service one of Bram’s old prison guards at the Federal Peni tentiary stepped up to him with tears in his eyes and said: “Mr. Bram, I am a better man for having heard you to-night.” “I appreciate that all the more.” re plied Bram, “remembering that when I was a prisoner in your charge you never treated me as such, but as a brother.” POULTRY SHOW JUDGE.

Brother of Slain Woman Hires Noted Italian Attorney to Aid the Prosecution. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. COMO, ITALY, Sept. 4.—Interroga tion of Porter Charlton by Exam ining Judge Rognonl and Signor Mel- lini was completed to-day. Charlton was confronted with the trunk in w'hlch he hid his wife’s body in Lake Como. He gazed at it intently for a few moments, looking at the brown bloodstains, but did not flinch. The young prisoner was questioned about his wife. He said she was 40 years old when he fall in lore with her In February, 1910. She had been previously married, but was divorced when she was 37 years old. She had been an actress and had once tried to shoot a man in a New York hotel for deserting her after they had become friendly. The date of the trial will be fixed next week. Captain H. H. Scott, U. 8. A., a brother of the slain bride, has re- I tained a prominent Milanese lawyer ' to represent his family. This lawyer has in his possession a number of let ters written by Charlton just after his marriage, which wdll be used to combat any claim that the young prisoner is or then was mentally de fective. Crowds of tourists daily visit the grave of Mrs. Charlton in the little cemetery at Moltrasco. Others visit the cottage in which the murder took place. Native folk in the neighbor hood say that no one will live in the cottage, because at times the screams and pleading voice of a woman can be distinctly heard. For this reason the building has been allowed to fall into semi-decay. Ticket Seller Fined For Pummeling Boy A. D.
