Emma Bunting Coming.
It is a positive pleasure to announce
the return engagement of little Emma
Bunting next week at the Lyric-. In
the selection of next week's play Miss
Bunting certainly has been most for
tunate. as in the title role of the
“Girl from Out Yonder,” the part of
Flotsam must have been written es
pecially for Miss Bunting, so well
does she tit the role. In New Or
leans recently Miss Bunting scored an
immense success. The advance sale
for the week began Thursday after
noon with an Immense rush.
Eleanor Montell Scores.
Although quite unknown to local
theatergoers. Eleanor Montell during
her brief engagement this week at the
Lyric has made a splendid impres
sion and the charming little artist will
be remembered as one of the most
convincing, pleasing and painstaking
stars that has visited Atlanta this
season.
