i 5 THE ATLANTA CJEUKUiAJN AM I> \E\V8. I y * a i y 'n> 4 4 Light Musical Show at the Atlanta • Theater Lives Up to Promises. Well Balanced. By TARLETON COLLIER. “Clever" is a greatly misused and abused word. They have applied It to everything, even to some newspa per reporters, until It means about as much as a story of the death of King Menelik or the dissolution of a trust. Too bad. With its primitive sig nificance It might have been a handy term for “The Merry Countess” show which opened at the Atlanta Theater Friday evening for two night per formances and a matinee. A considerable show-starved au dience was there. Most of those who attended came experimentally, as “The Merry Countess” was practical ly an unknown quantity. It promised much, with Its Strauss music and with glowing announcements from those cities where it has been pre sented. So Atlanta went, tentative ly. The promise was realized. “The Merry Countess” proved bright and entertaining, Its music fascinating and its lines sparkling. The show Is very light. It is true, but even w'ith its farce-like triviality it is to be accorded a place somewhere near that indefinable line that technically separates musical comedy from light opera. There is spice enough in the show. Pitched in fashionable circles of Aus tria, there is that essence of attrac tive naughtiness in “The Merry Countess” that in the popular imag ination is attached to the gay life of the Continent. But there is nothing in the humor—and it is all humor— that smacks of vulgarity, although the sense of fitness was Jarred now and then by the introduction of rank Americanisms into the talk of these Austrians. Much is being said here in praise of “The Merry Countess.” Still, it is necessary to go a bit further, and Bay that the voices of the cast were excellent, easily up to the harmonious standard of the Strauss music; that the dancing of the well-drilled and not too-evident chorus was pretty, and that the costumes had an at tractive freshness. Hence, the en sembles naturally were pleasing. Two dances particularly were at tractive, that of Veta Florenz, premier of the ballet, in the second act, and the dance in the third act of the two young women, whose legs—ho; your eyes did not deceive you—w r ere frank ly bare. Ability to sing must be accorded Dale Winter, who played Ilka, the parlor maid, and Mabel Baker, as Countess Rosalinda Cliquot, Strauss’ score was not exacting, but it was full of nice melodies that demanded vocal ability. Among the men, Carl Haydn, who played truthfully the part of Gabor Szabo, a Hungarian flirt, and Arthur Clough, as Count Cliquot, had capa ble voices. The comedy characters ■were sufficiently funny, especially Harry Carter, as Prince Orloffsky, and Jack Henderson, as Mattori, the Bad-eyed warder of the prison. The story of tne show is that of harmless love intrigues and flirta tions among gay Austrians. At times the foreign tone is true, but in the second and third acts there is little evidence of it in any of the lines or situations. “Pape’s Diapepsin” Ends All Stomach Distress in Five Minutes—Time It!

The managers learned how to handle a reunion at that time. Transportation facilities now are greatly improved with the completion of the surface line up Lookout Moun tain and the one to Signal Mountain, on Waldens Ridge. The fact that the Grand Army re union is devoid of social features ne cessitating the presence and enter tainment of maids and sponsors also greatly lightens the work.

When first you enter the kitchens of Hotel Ansley you think you are in an inferno of clanging pans and Jangling pots; your brain reels with the effort to understand the French words that are hurled back and forth, and your neck aches with the strain of trying to catch more than a pass ing glimpse of the flying cooks. But before you have time to col lect your thoughts and remember that when they yell “cafe noir,” “parfait,” and “pomme gaufette,” they are talk ing about black coffee, ice cream and potatoes, you catch a glimpse of a little, short, fat man, whose one good eye twinkles with good humor, and whose bald, shining head and brist ling mustache, covering a perpetually smiling rrtouth, invites confidence and friendship. He sits enthroned on a chair at a little desk—the monarch of the kitchens. You’ve seen “The Duelling Chef”— Jean Peyrat—and instinctively you smile at him and with him. It was Pcyrat’s pride in his cook ing that caused him to fight a duel with another cook in the kitchens of the Hotel D’Angleterre, In Biarizt, France, while King Edward of Eng land sat in the dining room and wait ed patiently for the Peyrat marvels to appear. It was this duel—his last—that gave Peyrat the name of “The Duel ling Chef,” and it was also where he lost his right eye, his opponent having Jabbed him in the optic with a fork after Peyrat had hurled his weapon from him with his own blade. According to Peyrat’s story, he fought the duel with another cook of the Hotel D’Angleterre because the latter tried to destroy a kitchen mas terpiece he had created especially for the dinner to King Edward. Mad© Great Dish for King. Peyrat moulded a monster deer and lion, with the latter representing England, crouched over the body of the deer, victorious. Around the sides of the deer and lion were placed the lobster, the caviar and the other good things. As the waiters took up the master piece to carry it into the dining room, the jealous cook, an assistant of Pey rat, tried to throw it to the floor. The duel followed, In which Peyrat lost his eye and the other cook re ceived five knife wounds in the shoul der. “The dish I fix for the King,” Pey rat says, with both tongue and shoul ders, “it was a what you call mas terpiece. Magnificent! Grand! Noth ing like It had ever been seen in the world. The King, he send me that word I exceedingly proud when I fix that dish. I make my reputation all over France. This other cook was a jealous fellow. He liked me not, because I was not so many years as he and yet I am chef. This fellow amount to nothing; he is what you call a bum, a loafer! “I fix the grand dish. This bum come up and say the di*h no good. I call him a liar, a grand liar. Then this bum try to push the dish to the floor and destroy. I become enrage, angry. I lose control of myself. I strike this bum cook in the eye, and give what you call a black peeper. He strike back at me, but he mifs me. He yell that my dish is not fit for the pigs. Fought With Carving Knives. “Then I challenge this bum for a duel, to fight for my beloved dish which the King eat. I have served in the army of France. I can fence wfith great cleverness. I ask him if he want to fight with the rapier or the broadsword. He say he fight with carving knife. “Carving knife suit me. I handle carving knife with same expert I handle the rapier < nd the broad sword. We take the position. We begin. I laugh at this bum. He be come greatly enraue He lunge; his knife miss me. I laugh again. Ha! I also am enrage. I thrust! I lunge! Voila! I stick him in the shoulder. I repeat- five times I stick the bum in the shoulder. I become tired with the sport; I disarm him. The bum call me pig, but I laugh, for I am victor “Then this bum cook grab a fork from the table and lunge at me when I be not watching. Twice he jab my eye with the fork. I lose the eye. but he stay two, three months in hospital, and never again do he cook. He can not stand the heat of the kitchens any more. “But the dish for the King, It not be destroy, so I am glad. I take pride In the dish. The King of England thank me for the dish.” Burlesque, Columbia Theater, Monday 7:30 p. m. EXCURSION TO BIR MINGHAM. $2.50 round trip, Septem ber 22.

I III IKE Hoke Smith Plan, Favored by Wil son, Likely to Supplant Clarke Amendment to Tariff Bill. WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—Devel opments sine© the passage of the tar iff bill the other day are Interpreted by students of the subject to indi cate that the conferees of the bill will reject the amendment of Sena tor Clarke, of Arkansas, taxing cot ton futures, and will substitute in its place the amendment of Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, which ac complishes much the Marne effect by a different means. The Clarke amendment levies a tax of one-tenth of 1 cent a pound on the quantity of cotton described In an agreement of sale for future de livery, and provides heavy penalties for violation of the statute. Senator Hoke Smith’s amendment, which was offered In the Senate dur ing consideration of the bill, is in tended to forbid the delivery on fu ture contracts of cotton other than according to the standards of quality fixed by the United States Govern ment, with the further provision that if the seller Is unable to deliver the quality of cotton specified In the agreement he must pay to the buyer the difference between the price of the cotton he offers and the price of the cotton specified. Wilson Favors Smith’s Idea. The Clarke amendment, which was adopted by the Senate, provides that the tax will go into effect September 1, 1914. The conferees have not yet taken up that part of the bill which in cludes the Clarke amendment, and will not reach it for some time. Nev ertheless, great interest Is being shown in the question, and specula tion is rife as to what the conferees will decide to do. The intimation is obtained from Majority Trader Underwood that President Wilson is opposed to the Clarke amendment, being apprehen sive that it will disturb the vast cot ton business of the South, and if the President confirms this belief to the conferees the amendment Is as good as defeated. Asa matter of fact, the reason why Clarke and other members of the Senate voted for the amendment was that they believed the Farmers’ Union wanted It. Furthermore, it is the impression here that in reality they were personally opposed to it, and feared it would do harm to the cotton business. • Conferees Oppose Amendment. Another theory for the enactment of the amendment is that it was put in simply as a trade proposition, with the expectation of giving it up if the House would make a concession of equal Importance. This is compli cated by the development in the House of quite a sentiment in favor of the amendment which may have some influence on the conferees. The House conferees, however, are under- stood to be opposed to the amend ment. The most important factor at pres, ent is the attitude of the President. It becomes particularly significant when It is considered that SenatoT Hoke Smith’s amendment can be supported as an alternative. Senator Hoke Smith is very close to the ad ministration, and more than anyone else is the President’s spokesman in the Senate. Accordingly there are good surface reasons to believe that the President is behind Senator Smith’s amendment. FIVE CHILDREN TO WORK FOR Quite an Undertaking For a Lady, But Mrs. Wright Doesn’t Mind Now. Asheville, N. C.—Mrs. Minnie Wright, of R. F. D. No. 1, this city, says: "X don’t think there Is any medicine made that would have done me the good Cardul, the woman’s tonic, did. I have five children to work for, and I praise Cardul for giv ing me the good health to do It.
