^^^ATLANTA GEbRGIAN. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1906. PIE GREAT SALECONTINUES A four Days Last Week Was a Record Breaker on Clos ing Out Goods. OUR GRAND CLOSING OUT SAI F. / Ifo More China and Glassware for the King Hardware People. As is perfectly well known all lar-e dealers often buy goods ,lx months in advance, and that has been the case with us to quitj $ Jsrm’ extent, and still we are making the same great reductions on all this new stuff that we are daily opening up and adding to the china and Crockery department. Last week we sold hundreds and hundreds of bills and in nearly every instance we sold to ladies who are judges of this class goods, and the reason why we mention this is to prove that we are giving the big reductions that are being daily advertised. Don't know whether we can finish up this week or not, but irrnild be very glad to do so. There is one thing sure—if prices will help it along any then on next Saturday night we won’t have any pent amount of stock left. Why don’t you buy one of those beautiful hall lamps! They nre not only serviceable but ornamental. I Please bear in miud that every piece of goods in this depart meat has got to go—aijd everything is marked all the way from 2,") to 50 per cent reduction. To close out this department we can better afford to make big sacrifices and wind it tip rather than make slight cuts and run on week after week in the perfection of a wind-up. Why don't you go through our odds and ends! We have hun dreds of little things that cost more in Japan and Germany than we are asking you right here in Atlanta. Ir. dinner ware—open stock—or in sets we are pleasing every body—the prices placed on therfe things certainly sell the goods. Don't wait until the things are picked over further; come now and get the pick of what is left.

Maier & Berkele. “Coming Thro’ the Rye,” 'Coming Thro’ the Rye" will enter tain patrons of the Grand Monday night and Tuesday matinee and night. Tho Lexington Herald had the fol lowing to say of the attraction: o performances of a musical comedy called 'Coming Thro' the Rye,’ were given In the Lexington opera house. The entertainment, had been announced In a way which bore the thumb-marks of honesty and sincerity and two splendid audiences resulted. The theater-goers enjoyed the show Immensely because It was distinctly meritorious In every particular. “The comedy was bright, clean and wholesome; the music was tuneful, Jingling and decidedly catchy; the stage settings were massive, beautiful and realistic; the costumes were ar tistic. harmonious In coloring and ob viously expensive, and the presenting company, which numbered upward of 80 people, contained comedians, singers and dancers ct tho highest degree of talent. Prom the rise to the final fall of the curtain there was not a moment In which the auditors were not Intense ly Interested. “Unmistakably hearty applause and Immoderate laughter characterised the Impression which the entertainment made upon the spectators. It was all good; It \yas all enlivening; It was all of the kind of diversion which rational, exacting people desire when they pay the highest price for theatrical enter tainment." At th* Bijou. A young bride’s struggles In a sea of doubt against the suspicions of an un compromising husband and the perse cutions of relentless enemies, Is what forms the foundation of the emotional drama, "A Wife's Secret," which Spen cer and Abom have been presenting for over two years with success, and which will be seen at the Bijou all this week. This powerful play of human emo lions, full of tender heart Interest, spiced with Irresistible bursts of com edy, genuine pathos and thrilling scenes and dramatic situations, has to Its credit a record of hearty approval and gratifying financial resuits everywhere It has appeared, and has proven Itself one of tho most potent drawing attrac tions of Its kind seen In recent years. Its main strength lies in Its Interesting and unhackneyed plot, novel develop ments and original story, entirely new to the stage. It ha* many Interesting characters, portrayed by a carefully se lected cast of melodramatic favorites, and the scenic equipment Is on the same pretentious scale as the lost two seasons. Murray and Mack. For beauty, elegance and charm, the production that Murray and Mack of fer In their successful muslchl farce, "Around tho Town," to appear at the Grand next Wednesday and Thursday, will undoubtedly prove to be one of the best comedies with a musical embel lishment to be seen In this city this coming season. The ensembles, handled by one of the most capable choruses that have supported these well-known comedians, are moat conducive to the success of this comedy, and In the mat ter of stage grandeur and scenic equip ment, everything Is carried In Its en tirety, leaving nothing to be desired, even by the moat fastidious play-goef FRIENDS OF FARMER LYNCH NEGRO BULLY Dallgs, Texas, Sept. 17.—Mitchell Frailer, a negro “bully.'' with a razor, slashed Frank Hess, a farmer, and was lynched by a mob of Hea*' friends.

As ths twentlsth century looked down upon President Arktlght, of ths Georgia Etlte Carrying Com pany, the words of the great Bonaparte sounded In his ear as ths rumble of a distant drum. "Tho voice of tho people Is as treach erous as ths Democratic mule when ticketed by a silver spur,” he quoted from The Commoner, “always ready to put up a kick,” and he turned again to the startling string of statistical state ments prepared by the men behind the cars’ ' "Car No. 21,” read tho report on which his eye fell, "while traversing eight blocks of unpaved Peachtree be tween the hours of 7:80 and 10:18 a. nt., twenty-one male passengers climbed aboard. After being shown the sign destined to bust the tobacco trust, six of this number again took their lives In their hands by attempting to recross the cavernous thoroughfare.

"If a man smoking a 'thres-for' take a seat In the center of the’car, would you tell him to desist by approaching 'rom the leeward or the windward side?.

"Would It be better to block the aide by making two 800-pounders sit In one seat forward than to allow one to occupy two seats In the rear?

BIJOU TONIGHT—MATINEE TUESDAY. SPENCER A ABORN'3 GREAT EMOTIONAL DRAMA, “A WIFE’.S SECRET.” Now in Its third season. Splendid cast, elsborate production. Same Bijou prices. Clyde Fitch begins the production of a play In the only sensible manner. The actors who ore to appear In the drama provide the first audience. Mr. Fitch reads the play to them, and discover ing what It all about, they set about to learn their parts. Jane Kennark and her company recently heard Mr, Fitch read "The Toast of the Town," which will be presented at the Grand In a short time. Not one person In the cast, with the exception of Miss Kennark, knew the story of the play or anything of It be fore Mr. Fitch commenced the reading Each actor had been engaged to play a certain part; each was told the name of the character and Its Importance In the drama; beyond this they knew nothing. Imagine, then, the curious Interest of each of these players, as the characters which they were to as sume were Introduced by the althor. Doubtless many were dlsappolrited that (hey did not appear In certain comedy scenes or certain other "meaty” situ ations In the drama, and it Is not beyond reason to suppose that an actor chosen for one part thought himself Well qualified to play another role, and one, of course, with more tinea and better opportunities. No tragedy that the player enacts in the play could equal this one. It It old human nature manifesting Itself. One can easily Imagine, then, the eagerneee of tide curious audience; each actor picking up such words In the text that belong to him ae they dropped from the author's lips. , Pic tures were at once formed In their minds of how they would "suit the action' to the word" and deliver par ticular lines, and how deport them- ■elves In. certain eltuatlons. No fu ture audience which will eee "The Toast of the Town” could possibly have the same Interest In the play aa this one, compoeed of the actors, hearing the .drama which they were to play. Clyde Fltoh It Vereatlle. To be at the reading of • play by the author la a very unusual experience. Mr. Fitch Is a reader whom even the adore and actresees admit le an elo- cuttoniet of no ordinary powere. He acta avery role exactly as he expects the actor shall when he has learned hie part. When Mr. Fitch Is seen by an audience on a first night, bowing hla acknowledgments, or saying a few trite words, they can have little notion of hie cleverness at a rehearsal or at the reading of one-of his plays. There are thoee. Indeed, who believe that he would have made a great reputation ae an actor. While hearing Mr. Fitch read "The Toast of the Town” to Miss Kennark and her company, one can not keep back the notion that he would be successful as a lightning change artist, playing each character In a drama, a* did that clever man, l-regolL The rending was wonderfully Inform ing. The bursts of applause from the actors during the reading and at the conclusion of each act seam discon certing to the author, but he went right on with his tnsk with earnestness that was charming to witness. Mr. Fitch's plan transposes tho usual order of things In the production of a play. Before rehearsals the actor Is ordinarily given his part—a little typo- written book which contains the linos In the play which he le to speak. He knows nothing of the story Itself or of the significance of the lines which ho le to utter, and so when he comes to rehearsal he can not possibly have a right Idea of the speeches he has learned. Tho etnge manager must In form him of the meaning and value of each word as he utters them. This old- time method Is ns tedious aa It Is Im practicable. It Is discomforting to tho actor, and tho results are often dis tressing to the auditor. The First Rehearsal. The actors who are to appear with Miss Kennark In "The Toast of the Town” heard the play read by Mr. Fitch before they were allowed to eee their parts. They were then given a week In which to study, and so at ths first rehearsal they knew their lines and ths significance of every word that they were to utter. Then came the real work—that of learning the business In Merely know lug tile words Is Of no special significance. How, when and where to spenk them Is tho thing, and this does not tnke action and facial expression Into account. Nobody ever saw a play poorly staged by Clyde Fitch, or one that was badly acted at the first performance. The reason for this Is that, contrary to the usual custom, Mr. Fitch Insists on the company rehearsing with scenery and coetumea for two weeks prior to the Initial preaentatlon of the play. The customary thing Is t aht the actors do not see the scenery till the drees rehearsal the night before the perform ance. -The result Is that they are un acquainted with entrances and exlte; they are naturally conscious of the fact that they are wearing clothes to which they have not become accustomed. Ic Is In consequence of the care Mr. Fitch take* In all these little details of pro duction that he has not only gained a great reputation as a stage manager, but his plays are well done from ths beginning. It Is natural that the author should have been timid when reading, and really acting, his play before so critical an audience as that which faced him, and which Is depicted In the engraving. Miss Kennark. of course, knew the story of "The Toast of the Town" be- fore Mr. Fitch started to read It, yet when yon consider all the playe In which sh* has appeared, sbs was. a critic who would abash almost any reader, / crippled, old gentleman? How nb'mt the pretty young girl? ll'hat color hc«e Is worn during rainy weather? "Are the cars vsry crowded during rainy weather? Well, does your arm ever shrink during the same? Then, why Is It the receipts are no larger? “If a train woe fast approaching di agonally to the car, would the motor- man jump so as to give a correct statement of the accident? It lightning should strike a car, would you wait to ring up the last fare? "Supposo It were late at night nnd no one was on the car, would you in sist that your young Indy friend take tho sent nearest the front of the car, If she got on? Who would pay her fare? "It you wero on a suburban car, be tween Atlanta nnd Decatur, at 11: SO o’clock, what would you do If your found a cigarette and match In your vest pocket?" Here ended the lesson.
