GABY DESLYS A FAIR SPECTER C
AT WEDDING OF EX-KING MANUEL
DEATH TRUNK
Anyway, Season at the Atlanta
Theater Is Opened—Some
Good Shows Coming,
By 7 IiETO COLLIER.
The .1 anta T ter, being a
worthy house of eii; iiinment, not to
speak of Its being t stronghold of
, the mighty K. & R, 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 haye 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 w r eek 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 R 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 Idoa 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 bill that is crowding the theater
at all performances.
„ Grand Kinemacolor.
Kinemacolor subjects at the Grand
from 2:30 to 10:30 to-day and to-mor-
row will be “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.

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 h..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 t ie
daughter of Prince■ William of Ho
henzollern took place at Singmarin-
gen, a Hohenzollern castle whien
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 Mont pens Ur, w'ho
Albania;
declined to he King of
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 of Hohenzollern, fa
ther of the bride, and Count August

were among the guests. It was
strictly “ a young people’s affair.” The
reason for this Is apparent. Manuel,
while recognized by courtesy as a
king by rulers Europe, is not
viewed 4s a real sovereign, and,
therefore, they sent their chil
dren to the wedding, just a. frown-
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 the
civil ceremony, at vhich 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 touristy who
happened to be in the neighborhood
drove into the picturesque little vil
lage, hoping to get a peep at some ol
the distinguished guests, and maybe
at Manuel himself.
The wedding gifts cost a fortune.
The royalists of Portugal collected
$20,000 and sent some handsome
plate; the bridegroom presented his
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 wine service.

I was a prisoner in your charge you
never treated me as such, but as a
brother.”

COMO| ITALY, Sept. 4.—Interroga
tion of Porter Charlton by Exam
ining Judge Rognoni and Signor Mel-
llni was completed to-day. Charlton
was confronted with the trunk in
which he hid his wife’s body in Lake
Como. Ho 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 love with
her in February, 1910. She had be^n
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 t ’rid become
friendly.
The date of the trial will be. fixed
next w’eek.
Captain H. H. Scott, U. S. A., a
brother of the slain bride, has re
tained a prominent Milanese lawyer
o represent his family. This lawyer
has in his possession a number of let
ters written by Charlton just after
his marriage, w'hich will 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 th“
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.
