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.

COUPLE ; IN Love ---I* CLOOM| sms FIGHT 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 the church.

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.
