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 la 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 tho weather god.
An electric fan, operated by a big
motor, 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. The big fan has been shut
down frequently because It lowered the
temperature to an uncomfortable de
gree.
The fifth season of the Bijou wilt
continue under the former manage
ment. Jake Wells, director of the
Bijou circuit of Southern theaters. Is
at the head of affairs, while H. L.
DcGIve 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 sellers 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, nnd the
same orchestra has been engaged.
The Bijou will present a holiday np
pearance at the opening performance.
Patntera and carpenters have been
busv retouching nnd 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.
born's orchestra and the Haverly choir
are still with the company.
Story" on tho stage is as good aa the
collection of sketches from which It
was built Into a play it Is well wurl i
f olng to see, especially as Dorothy
'ennnnt, who made such a lovable
“College Widow," Is fn a leading part.
Tim Murphy Coming.
Tim Murphy, always an early bird
on the Southern circuit, will smile once
more from the stago of the Grand. He
Is booked for next Friday and Satur
day night and a Saturday inatlnee In
"Old Innocence," a comedy In which
he appeared several seasons ago, 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. The two have roles in which their
Individual talents are well displayed,
that of Old Innocence being especially
adapted to Mr. Murphy's eccentric
manner. The comedy was greeted with
success on Its first season, and Mr.
.Murphy has decided to return to It
after a season in parts differing rad
ically from thoso In which he'hnd met
the warmest welcome. Ills company
includes, besides Miss Sherrod, who has
the leading woman’s role. Miss Louise
Whitfield, Mrs. Aubrey Powell and O.
J. Griffin.
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 furs and
overcoats were In order Instead of
straw hats and palm leaf fans. Thirty-
nine play houses. Including the more
Important roof gardens, were golmt this
week and a number of the better
known players bave 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” Word, of the old Ward and
Vokes combination, has hit upon a hap
py title In "Not Yet But Soon," which
he calls a "konfedy kackle In two lays.”
Lucy Daly Is with him as of yore.

well as some new ones.
Clifford Van, William Morris nnd

“The County Fair."
Some of you will remember that
about fifteen years ago you saw' a
horse race on the stage, and that you
talked about It for weeks afterwards.
There were three horses, you remem
ber, but Cold Molasses was the best,
and won by a neck after a mile race
across the stage, which seemed
natural as the real thing, even though
the thoroughbreds never got past tho
proscenium arch. You may see the
same race again If you will visit the
Grand Saturday afternoon or night.
"The County Fair" Is back again,
with old Neil Burgess, the* author and
creator of the play, at Its head. If he
Is as funny as he used to be—but they
say he Is, nnd there Is no reason why
he shouldn't be, for he is of the kind
that years only mellow and sweeten.
And "The County Fair" Is Just that
kind of play—one of those old farm
and mother dramns that make you
smile and then laugh until you find
yourself winking hard to keep the tears
from Intruding themselves where they
are 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, when
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 play ever gave.
Mr. Burgess will play his old rolo
of Aunt Abby and the famous race
scene will be given with the Improved
apparatus that came with the revival
of the old favorite.
Pott 8tason at Casino.
General Manager Jake Welts 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 attracllnne
for some time, and that for the first
time In the history of the Bijou and
Casino both play houses under the
same management will be run In prac
tical opposition to each other.
The arrangement for the sale of
seats will be changed. Seats can not
be secured In the city, but may be en
gaged by 'phone, by using Bell 'phone
236 north, and such orders will be
filled and held until 8:IS o’clock each
night. The box office at the park the
ater will be kept open from 7:45
o'clock until 9:30 o’clock each night.
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 simple grows Into a
full grown comedy. But one Instance
of this Is "The Ham Tree,” In which
McIntyre and Heath appeared last sea
son, nnd nnother la "The Chorus Lady,”
In which Bose Stahl open* at the Savoy
In New York Saturday. "The Chorun
Lady" wae one of the brighteet bite
on the vaudeville stage last season, and
when Miss Stahl took It to London the
Londoners thought her slang wsa quite
the cleverest thing that had come from
America. • It has grown Into a full
fledged musical comedy now and Rose
Stahl Is a star In big letters.
John Drew will begin hla season at
the Empire In New York In a new
comedy, "His House In Order." Dion
Bouclcault Is directing the rehearsals
and the cast Includes Margaret Illlng-
ton and a company equally as good as
those with which Mr. Frohman has
supplied his favorite star In the past.
Eleanor Robson, whose "Merely
Mary Ann" was the sweetest stage
portrait seen In the South laet season,
has been spending the summer In
France with her mother, Mre. Madge
Clark Cook, who created "Mrs. Wlggs
of the Cabbage Patch." Miss Robson
will begin rehearaals of a new Zang-
wlll play, “Nurse Marjorie," as soon
as she arrives In America.
Sam Jones Tabernacle

ville, Ga.
On ffeptemper 13th to 23rd. Inclu
sive, the Western and Atlantic rail
road will sell tickets from Atlanta-
Dalton and Intermediate stations, to
Cartersvllle. at rate of one fare for

gospel singers of note will attend.

Tpp, Tony Plselll, Italian gang fore
man In the mines here, was shot and
Instantly killed by Carl Lugl, with
whom he was In love. The girl had
rejected him In favor of Bob Jackson,
a miner, and he plotted with an enemy
of Jackson to do away with the suc
cessful rival. A forged note was sent
to the Lugl woman, signed by Jackson,
saying he was done with her. She
started out to kill Jackson, because of
supposed' faithlessness, but met Pis-

take.

Nashville. Tenn., Sept. 1.—Forgetting
the bitterness and the pangs of defeat,
forgiving those who defeated him f"r
re-election to the office of United States-
senator, Hon. Edward Wnrd Carmack
haa thrown personal feelings aside and
has rushed to the breach to give battle
In behalf of the Democratic party in
Tennessee. The Tennessee senator has
been the first to volunteer his services
a speaker to the Democratic suite
executive committee, and It Is needless
to say that the offer will bo accepted
post haate.
In the recent bitter campaign for
governor nnd In the one for United
States senator two combinations lined
up against each other, the forces of
Governor Cox and Senator Carmack
being pitted against a combination
composed of General M. R. Patterson
nnd 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 nnd
refuses to get In the band wagon.
The negro question is most acute In
the South at present and It Is expected
to play a most Important part In tin-
gubernatorial fight between General M.
R. Patterson, the Democratic nominee,
and General H. Clay Evans, tho Re
publican nominee. -j
THINKS STUYVESANT FISH
' IS STRONG IN THE SOUTH
By Private Leased Wire.
Washington, Sept. 1—Edward Young,
of New Orleans, who has Just been
nomlnuted by the Republicans of that
city to contest the congressional elec
tion In the First district, with Adolph
Mayer, at the Raleigh, expressed tho
opinion that President Roosevelt was
the only Republican who could enter
the campaign of 1908 with any cer
tainty of defeating Bryan.
If the convention will not aee the
wisdom of this policy, then he believe*
the sentiment of the Republicans of
the South would favor the selection of
some good, conservative business man.
"U there Is one business man In this
country, who stands close to the South
by reason of the good he.has done for
them," said Mr. Young, "that man la
Stuyvesant Fish, president, of the Il
linois Central Hallroad, and If he were
nominated, thousands of Democrats In
the South would vote the Republican
ticket. It Is my Judgment that Mr.
Fish could carry one or two of the
Southern states and break the Demo
cratic solid vote In that section of the
country."
