“The Party from tho South,” with
Haverly’s Minstrels.
Casino Will Continue
Indefinitely—Tim
Murphy Coming.
By DUDLEY GLASS.
The Bijou, home of popular-priced
comedy, music and melodrama, will
throw open Its doors for the new sea
son next Monday afternoon, and there
will be no dark nights until warm
weather comes In 1907. Haverly’s Min
strels Is the bill chosen for the opening
week, an attraction light enough for hot
weather theatergoers.
But the managers of the Bijou say
that they can defy the weather god.
An electric fan, operated by a big
mt/tor, blows a current over a ton of
Ice and keeps the temperature down to
a comfortable point, while numerous
smaller fans are scattered through the
house. Tho big fan has been shut
down frequently because It lowered the
temperature to an uncomfortable de
gree.
Tho fifth Reason of the Bijou will
continue under the former manage
ment. Jake Wells, director of the
Bijou circuit of Southern theaters, Is 1
at tho head of affairs, while H. L.
DeGIve and Hugh L. Cardoza are the
resident managers. A new face will
be seen in the box office. Treasurer
Joe Adams having been transferred
from the Richmond Bijou to the At
lanta house. Harry Downey, one of the
most popular ticket Hellers who ever
handed out the pasteboards In Atlan
ta, will be his assistant.. The old force
of ushers, doorkeepers and stage hands
will greet their friends again, and the
same orchestra has been engaged.
The Bijou will present a holiday ap
pearance at the opening performance.
Painters and carpenters have been
busy retouching and repairing and the
auditorium will be more attractive than
in seasons past. The usual Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday matinees will
continue throughout the season, with
performances every night In the week.
Billy Beard and the rest of Haverly’s
merry minstrel crew are too well
known to need an introduction to At
lanta. The old 'faces will be here as
well as some new ones.
Clifford Van, William Morris and
Burt Stoddard are among the funmak-
ers, while Joseph Gomez and Harry
Weaver, the tenors; Calvin Hums, a
basso profundo, and Harry Parkerson,
a baritone, whose voice has been pop
ular In light opera, will contribute
some of the musical numbers. Os-

born’s orchestra and the Haverly choir
are still with the company.
Tim Murphy Coming.
Tim Murphy, alwaya an early bird
on the Southern circuit, will smile once
more from the stage of the Grand. He
Is booked for next Friday and Satur
day night and n Saturday matinee In
’’Old Innocence," a comedy In which
he appeared several seasons ego, and
one well fitted to his talents.
Of course, Dorothy Sherrod will be
the leading woman. ' It would hardly
be like the old Tim Murphy without
her. Tho two have rolee In which their
individual talents nre well displayed,
that of Old Innocence being especially
adapted to " Mr. Murphy's eccentric
manner. The comedy wua greeted with
success oh Ha first season, and Mr.
Murphy has decided to return to it
after a season In parts differing rad
ically from those In which he had met
the warmest welcome. His company
Includes, besides Miss Sherrod, who has
the leading woman's role, Miss Louise
Whitfield, Mrs. Aubrey Powell and O.
J. Griffin.
“The County Fair.”
Some of you will remember that
about fifteen years ago you saw a
horso race on the atage, and that you
talked about It for weeka afterwards.
There were three horses, you remem
ber, but Cold Molasses was the beat,
and won by a neck after a mile race
across the atage, which seemed as
natural as the real thing, even though
the thoroughbreds never got past tho
proscenium arch. You may see the
same race ugaln If you will visit the
Grand Saturday afternoon or night.
"Tho County Fair" Is back again,
with old Nell Burgess, the author anil
creator of the play, at Its head. If he
Is as funny us he used to be—but they
say he Is, anil there Is no reason why
he shouldn't be, for he la of the kind
that years only mellow and sweeten.
And "The County Fair” is just that
kind of play—one of those old farm
nnd mother dramas that make you
smile and then laugh until you find
yourself winking hard to keep the tears
from Intruding themselves where they
nre not wanted—Just the country pic
ture that made "The Old Homestead”
a regular feature of every theater and
coined dollars for the authors of Blue
Jeans and Shore Acres—the play that
brings back your own childhood, wh
you broke the sorrel colt and held'off
the calves while mother milked. It Is
one of those simple stories that leaves
you with a sweet taste In your mouth
that no problem piny ever gave.
Mr. Burgess will play his old role
of Aunt Abby and the famous race
scene will be given with the Improved
apparatus that came with the revival
of the old favorite.
Post Season at Casino.
General Manager Jake Wells has di
rected that the Casino at Ponce De
leon be continued until further orders.
This order means that the popular
summer play house will continue oper
ations with vaudeville for attractions
for some time, and that for the first
time In the history of the Bijou and
Caalno both play houses under the
same management will be run In prac
tical opposition to each other.
The arrangement for the sale of
cents will be changed. Seats can not
be secured In the r|ty, hut may be en
gaged by 'phone, by using Bell 'phone
236 north, and such orders will be
filled and held until 8:15 o'clock each
night. The box office at the park the
ater will be kept open from 7:65
o'clock until 9:20 o'clock each night.
and sents for succeeding performances
may then be secured.
The opening bill of the post season
offers an attractive appearance. Tho
Three Coates, who are finishing their
vaudeville career, prior to joining
new musical comedy production, will
be a special feature. Their act offers
something out of the ordinary nnd has
been very successful. The well-known
Wells, Dunne and Harlan pair, Johnny
Johnson and Bob Harty wilt play thelr
aecond engagement at the Casino this
season, offering an entirely new series
of aonga. The singing comedians
scored a popular hit some weeks ago
at the Caalno.
Mildred Flora, the comedienne who
has appeared at the Grand and Casino
before, will contribute one of the com
edy features of the bill. The Banks-
Breazeale Duo, pretty girls, will appear
In n musical specialty. These young
women are recruits In vaudeville. There
will be other acta, Including the Cnm-
eragraph, with a new aeries of motion
pictures.
With Plays and Players.
Jesse Lynch Williams' play, "The
Stolen Story,” which was given Its first
production in Chicago this week, scored
a success and according to the critics
Is destined to continue for a long run
In the larger cities. Perhaps the critics
were lenient because Williams Is a real
newspaper man and writes a real news
paper story. The play presents the re-
S orter as he Is, not as playwrights
ave pictured him, and If 'The Stolen
Story" on the stage Is as good as the
collection of sketches from which It
was built Into n play It Is well wotl.t
going to see, especially as Dorothy
Tennant, who made such a lovable
“College Widow,” Is In a leading part.
An August sun does not seem to pre
vent New York theaters from drawing
audiences, and the production of new
plays Is beginning as though fura and
overcoats were in order Instead of
straw hats and palm leaf fans. Thirty-
nine play houses, Including the more
Important roof gardens, were going this
week and a number of the better
known players have taken up work for
the season. .
William Crane has begun hla season
In "The Price of Money,"-a comedy by
Alfred Sutro, which has just opened at
the Garrick In New York. Margaret
Dale and Walter Hitchcock are with
the company.
"Hapy" Ward, of the old Ward and
Vokes combination, has hit upon a hap
py title In "Not Yet But Soon," which
he calis a "komedy kockle In two lays."
Lucy Daly Is with him as of yore.
They “tried It on the dog' at Lynn,
Miss., Wednesday night nnd the peo
ple of Lynn say the new musical com
edy is simply fine.
Many a bright bit In a play has been,
stolen to make a successful vaudeville
skit, but It Is seldom that a vaudeville
sketch pure and almple grows Into a
full grown comedy. But one Instance
of thla Is "The Ham Tree," In which
McIntyre and Heath appeared laat sea
son, nnd another la 'The Chorus Lady,"
In which Rose Stahl opens at the Savoy
In New York Saturday. "The Chorus
Lady" was one of the brightest bits
on the vaudeville stage last season, and
when Miss Stahl took It to London the
Londoners thought her slnng was quite
the cleverest thing that had come from
America. It has grown Into a full
fledged musical comsdy now and Rose
Stahl la a star In big letters.
John Drew will begin his season at
the Empire In New York In a new
comedy, "Hla House In Order." Dion
Bouclcnult Is directing the rehearsals
and the cast Includes Margaret Illlng-
ton and a company'equally os good as
those with which Mr. Frohman has
supplied his favorite atar In the past.
Eleanor Robson, whose "Merely
Mari' Ann" was the sweetest stage
portrait seen In the South last season,
has been spending the summer In
France with her mother, Mrs. Madge
Clark Cook, who created "Mrs. Wlggs
of the Cabbage Patch." Miss Robson
will begin rehearsals of a new Zang-
uill play, "Nurse Marjorie," • as soon
as she arrives In America.

NEGRO QUESTION
WILL BE AN ISSUE
Special to The Georgian.
Nashville, Tenn., Sept. L—Forgetting
the bitterness and tho pangs of defeat,
forgiving those who defeated him for
re-election to the office of United States
senator, Hon. Edward Ward Carmack
has thrown personnl feelings nsldc nnd
has rushed to the breach to glvo battle
In behalf of tho Democratic party In
Tennessee. Tho Tennessee senator has
been the first to volunteer his services
aa a speaker to the Democratic state
executive committee, and It Is needless
to say that the offer will be accepted
post haate.
In the recent bitter cnmpnlgn for
governor and In the one for United
States senator two combinations lined
up against each other, the fare s of
Governor Cox and Senator Carmack
being pitted against a combination
composed of General M. R. Patterson
and Governor Bob Taylor. The two
latter won. Cox has never forgiven
Patterson for the hard things the lat
ter said about him on the stump and
refuses to get In the band wagon.
The negro question Is most acute In
the South at present nnd It Is expected
to play a most Important part in the
gubernatorial fight between General M.
It. Patterson, the Democratic nominee,
nnd General H. Clay Evans, the Re
publican nominee.

It la remarkable what suffering some
persona put up with juat to satisfy an
appetite for something.
A Michigan woman says; “I had been
using coffee since I was old enough to
have a cup of my own at the table,
and from It I have suffered agony
hundreds of times In the years past.
“My trouble first began In the form
of bilious colic, coming on every few
weeks and almost ending my life,
every attack for 8 years I suffered In
this way. I used to pray for death to
relieve me from my suffering. I had
also attacks of sick headache, and be
gan to suffer from catarrh of thostonv
ach, and, of course, awful dyspepsia.
“For about a year I lived on crackers
and water. Believing that coffee was
the cause of all this suffering, I Anally
quit It and began to use Postum Food
Coffee. It agreed with my stomach, my
troubles have left me and I am fast
gaining my health under Its use.
No w'pnder I condemn coffee and
tea. No one could be In a much more
critical condition than I was from the
use of coffee. Rome doctors pronounced
It cancer, others ulceration, but none
gave me any relief. But since I stopped
coffee and began Postum I am getting
well so fast I can heartily recommend
It for all who suffer as 1 did.” Name
