WEEK'S BILLS AF
PLArHOUSES
Good Vaudeville at Forsyth and
Lots of Entertainment at
Other Local Theaters.
By TARLETON COLLIER.
Should your fancy direct your feet
tov/ard any one of the city’s show
houses this week, you may be sure of
a very pleasant occasion, you folks
that stayed at home yesterday. This,
at least, is the verdict after a sitting-
in at the Monday opening: of the For
syth and the Lyric, and after a con
sideration of the promises that the
other houses hold out.
At the Forsyth, now, ther is a Rood
bill. If you like dancing, there is a
revelation for you at the Forsyth;
ringing, it is there. And even if you
are a hardened vaudeville goer, with
the spiritless eye of a catfish for the
daring of the vaudeville acrobats, you
must confess a thrill at some of the
things they do at the Forsyth this
week. All with much comedy.
Perhaps you will notice the lack of
those little play sketches that usually
are put on a vaudeville bill to give it '
a substantial tone. You make this i
note with something of relief, most
likely. The brain-weary person who {
goes to the vaudeville show is not so j
very eager to wait and watch for the
development of anything that bids |
fair to be complex.
Something New in Dancing.
All this is by way of telling that I
Frank Hale and Inez Patterson, a I
slender, handsome young couple, who
are billed as ‘ the World’s Greatest |
Turkey Trotters and Tango Dancer*,” |
have something new and unusual in
their exhibition of the new dance.-, I
which becomes things of pretty I
rhythm under their interpretation I
It is a notable fact that the audience j
at the first show, after sitting appre
ciatively through the first part of the
bill, straightened in their seats, leaned
forward, and breathed faster when
the Hale and Patterson act was an
nounced. Here was something to in
terest everybody—the famed turkey
trot and the tango, berated and
abused from coast to coast. Abused
no more in Atlanta, it is safe to say,
or, at least, far less than heretofore.
Three sisters—Doris, Dot and Alma
Wilson—have a pretty act. Beyond
the fact that they can sing and
fiance, they look alike and are ena-
bled thus to perform a mirror act in
which one sister, singing and making
up before the mirror, seems to be re
flected in the glass. At least the
Image follows faithfully every move
ment, even to eyes and hair and
graceful swaying. Then the girl leaps
through the open space, showing that
there was no mirror at all, and that
there really were three persons in the
supposed reflection.
Comedienne Makes Big Hit.
Miss Lydia Barry makes fun and
sings. Real fun It is. not that tol
erable—or near tolerable—wit of the
usual comedienne. One of the big
gest hits of the first show was that
•jtfored by her songs and interpolated
monologue.
As to the aforementioned acro
batics—don’t be alarmed, because
three of the acts are those of hard
working. clever gymnasts. There is
Paul Gordon and Ame Dica, by far
the best bicycle pair of the season;
Delmore and Lee, with a spectacular
study in black and white on a flying
ladder, and Wentworth, Gesta and
Teddy, a team the least of which is
not Teddy, the dog. A tabloid min
strel show, Rusell's Minstrel Come
dians, they are called, complete the
bill.

Human Appeal in
“Call of the Heart.”
You probably were frightened from
even considering the Lyric last night
because of the too sensational name
of the show there. It Is to be con
fessed that “The Gall of the Heart" as
a name is not the best asset a show
can have, but this week’s attraction
at the Lyric rises above its name, re
vealing occasional real strength.
The play is one to appeal to Ameri
cans. It reveals the story of a de
generate English household whose
head, the twenty-first Baron of Wolf-
ston, married a real, red-blooded
American girl for her fortune. That
was 30 years before the time of the
opening of the play. Two of their
children are true offsprings of degen
eracy, the eldest being a scamp of the
first degree, the second a drug fiend.
Arvother American girl comes into the
old house, convoyed by an aunt with
social aspirations. A match is ar
ranged by the parvenu aunt and the
dissolute baron, between the girl and
the eldest son.
The fact is that the girl loves the
youngest. He is a puzzle, being un
like his brothers and his father, a
puzzle that is not solved until his
mother reveals the story of her true
love for a vigorous, heroic American
John Nicholson, as the scape grac*»
Lord Everlow. is a consistent type,
exaggerated a little, perhaps, but still
convincing. And Ann Hamilton, as
his unhappy American wife, has a real
appeal. Miss Billie Shay is a charm
ing type of young American girlhood,
and you follow her fortunes with a
true interest. C. B. Waters, Clarence
Bellair and Corwin Luskmoor as the
three widely differing sons of the no
ble pair are convincing actors
Pattern Church After
Atlanta Tabernacle
COLUMBUS. GA., Sept 9 —The
membership of the First Baptist
Church of this city will spend about
$25,000 in making improvements on

Millionaire Barlow on Way From
Cuba to This Country to Press
Suit Against Ex-Wife.
Continued from Page 1.
to Massachusetts witn the child an*
he remaining in Cuba. He brought
suit for divorce against her in 1911,
coming to Stewart County, his jld
home, to do it. He alleged cruelty
and immoral conduct.
The question of jurisdiction wi>
bitterly contested, but It was decidn*
that the Stewart County Superior
Court had power to adjudicate thc-
counle’s differences, and a total H
vorce was granted. Barlow', in lie'*
of alimony, paid a lump sum of
money to the defendant and deeded
certain lands in Stewart County and
other places to her and their daugh
ter Madeline. He was given the care,
control and custody of the girl, with
the agreement that she should be al
lowed to visit her mother at reason
able intervals.
He married Mrs. Maud Carter, a
widow and a sweetheart of his boy
hood days, soon after the decree was
granted. Early last month, when the
third Mrs. Barlow was visiting in
Lumpkin, the divorced wife came to
the same hotel and asked the privi
lege of taking the child with her >n
1 a visit.
Kidnaping Attempt Charged.
! The wife cabled Barlow, who was
I in Cuba. He promptly and briefly re-
• plied, “No.” The mother then asked
■ if she might no* have the child with
her in her room at the hotel. This
request readily was granted. The*
hotel guests were startled about 4
o’clock the next morning by the
alarm that the mother stealthily had
left the hotel and had taken her
daughter with her.
Officers at once were sent to the
railroad station, where a train was
due at 3 in the morning, and all of
the garages were watched to prevent
the woman getting out of town b>
automobile. The next day she wjs
found in one of the homes in The
town, to which she said he had gone*
with no intention of kidmping the
child.
Mrs. Maud Barlow at once obtained
an attorney and instituted habeas
corpus proceedings. The habeas cor
pus not only was denied by the Ordi
nary before whom the case was
heard, but the Superior Court virtu
ally was overruled by the perm i-
nent award of the child to its own
mother, Mrs. Edith Barlow
Father Hurries From Cuba.
Rar!ow~"hurried from Cuba to the
United States and to Atlanta, where
he engaged Burton Smith and the
firm of Little, Powell, Hooper Sz
Goldstein to look after his interests.
The Ordinar- who decided against
Barlow and his present wife in the
habeas corpus proceedings strangely
enough is an uncle of Frank A.
Hooper, one of the attorneys for Bai -
low.
Attorney Smith immediately car
ried the habeas corpus decision to the
Superior Court of Stewart County by
certiorari, where it now is pending,
and also began habeas corpus pro
ceedings in Fulton County for the
possession and custody of the child.
Further complicating the situation,
Mrs. Edith Barlow's lawyers have
begun proceedings before Judge Lit
tlejohn in Stewart County, in which
it is contended that the divorce
granted Barlow was obtained by
fraud, as he was not a resident of
Stewart County,
Seeks Child and $25,000.
The Judge is petitioned to set aside
the present marriage to Mrs. Maud
Carter, to declare Barlow in contempt
of court, to give the permanent cus
tody of the child to its mother, and t
award the mother $25,000 alimony for
the support and care of her daugh
ter.
The case is set for September 27
at Lumpkin. It is likely that th>
proceedings in Atlanta will be waived
so that the court of original juris
diction may pass on all of the vari
ous angles of the interesting matri
monial mix-up.
