By TARLETON COLLIER Hail the apotheosis of the detec tive! Nowadays he becomes the modem knight, rescuing the oppress ed maiden, swatting the oppressor, and then marrying the lady In ques tion. all in true Ivanhoe style. And being a detective would he rather de sirable, if women were not so rasp- inglv neurotic. These are one or two of the Im pressions that come to von as you watch Robert Hilliard and the others in "The Argyle I'Hse," which opened at Hie Atlanta Monday night. There are other impressions, too, but you! received them so long ago from t he j ten thousand detective stories that they nui v be trite -that the police de tective Is not only fallible, but bun-' gling; that a true hero can face the gun of an infuriated villain, and dare him to shoot, and all those things But the firmest Impression you re ceive is that here is a play with ev ery line written to convey a delib erate punch. The general effect is an up flagging interest that is at times, and very often, thrilling. It is melodrama, but a not unreason able melodrama, even for a detective- crook play. And it must afford soul-satisfaction to u bunch of actors to realize that they have a part in a drama like "The Argyle Case," in which everybody has at least one great moment and comes in for one hearty' hand of ap plause. At least, it Is satisfying to the audietue that they should see a cast In which every individual de serves the applause he gets. Robert Hilliard and his supporting company are a group w'oll balanced as to abil ity and are uniformly as capable as any actors that And their way into these parts. Robert Hilliard himself leaves little to be desired In 1 * interpretation of the not too fanciful part « t the ultra- new detective, who out-Burr" Burns, who hobnobs with those high in sta tion and who is at all times the mas ter of the situation. He is known to Atlanta, having appeared in "A Fool There Was” three seasons ago. There was an uncomfortably large amount of neurasthenia written in’o the lines of the women in the play, and they w ere called upon to shriek and sol) and fidget. Hov/ev . superb our masterful detectives might be, their roles were no’ nearly so difficult as those of the women. And, very hap- P_U>. t'ue women were equal to It all. lid win Holland, as Hurley, the mur derer in the case; Gustav Von Self- fertitz, as Frederick Kreisler, a fan tastic counterfeiter, and Joseph Tuo- hy. as Toe Manning, a father human dele tive. were some of the unusually good company'whose work pleased. "The Argyle Case” will be at Atlanta Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and Wednesday matinee. Lyric Has Drama With Strong Appeal. Virtues persecution and vindica tion forms the basis of the play of fered at the Lyric fer the week, "The Butterfly on the Wheel." The play ia one with an essentially modern ap peal. It hardly Is to be relegated t'» the class of the problem play; nor is it a melodrama. But there is a aolK. Ity about It that is en‘ertaining, and n number of situations that call * >: capable acting. Eleanor Montell, as Peggy Ad- maston, the innocent young wife wh j Is forced to a divorce trial by a sus picious husband, met the demands of a most exacting part. Charles Der- rar, as Roderick Oolllngwood. th* former lover who forced the ingenu ous Mrs. Admaston into her marital plight, was good, and Horae* Cooper, in the comedy part Lord Eller- dine. a typical, but not conventiona. Englishman, was e .iily the best of the male cast. The play has for itsgrea scene the divorce court In which Mrs. Admaston is forced to defend herself, in her im potent way. against the damning ev - dence that has been brought in favor of frer husband's suit. The plimax is powerful, wh»re the butterfly wom an, unable t' convi Co a hard-headed English Jury and judge of her inno- } cence, collapses However, all ends t well when the machination* of vlb j Iainy are revealed out of court. "The Butterfly on the Wheel" will be at the Lyric all w’eek, with mati nee# Tuesday, Thursday and Satur day. Good Melodrama Offered Bijou Patrons. A crowded house greeted the Jewell Kelley Company In "Over the Sea" at the Bijou Monday night. The play is a lipping good melodrama, full of ac tion and sentiment. Every climax was the signal for applause. The au dience seemed immensely pleased with the performance This v eek’s offering introduces Miss Lillian Douglas, a new member. She was given a cordial reception. Edwin Vail, who appeared in the role of clergyman, won many new* friends. Vernon Wallace, the leading man. was a prime favorite from the start. Miss Rose Morris, in the part of a street urchin, was excellent. Earl Higley appeared in a comedy part which gave him abundant opportunity for fun-making. Oscar Boes. Miss Claire Summers, T. C. McDonough and the other members of the cast appeared to advantage. TO STP.IP Id MAYQB OF MACON, Dec. 9.—A majority of the members of City Council propose to-night to divest the Mayor of the power the office has had for 75 years to appoint the firemen and policemen. The present Mayor, Bridges Smith, represents one faction in local poli tics and ten of the Aldermen repre sent another faction. The flreroen and policemen, now on the payrolls, w ere put in office by the party' repre sented by Mr. Smith, and the Aider- men seek to remove them and give the jobs to some of their own political friends. It takes seven votes to pass the ordinance v and eight to pass it over the Mayor’s veto. Eight of the Aldermen have declared in favor of It. The ordinance provides that the chiefs of the police and Are depart ments, who are elected by' Council, shall appoint the members of the two forces, subject to the confirmation of Council.
