AT THE THEATERS
“Around the Town," a new comedy
by o well known writer, la the Murray
* Mack offering to, be aeen Wednesday!
night and Thuraday at the Grand,
la claimed for It that no funnier atory
of complication* haa ever been offered
to the fun-loving public. There popu
lar comedian* are raid to have part*
that lit them hotter than anything they
have done. The production I* the moatl
elaborate ever attempted by them,
the comedy required a very elaborate
acentc production and beautiful cos
tuming. The supporting company haa
been aelected with great care and em
brace* many celebrities In the farce
comedy world. The large chorus of
male and female voices ha* proved a
novelty In farce comedy, and I* a de
elded hit. , ,
It was inadvertenly stated In The
Georgian Tuesday that Murray and
Mack were billed for next week, where
as the company begin* It* engagement!
here Wednesday night.
Al FIsTd”Friday.
’ ’ Al G. Field's Minstrel* will be the at
traction at the Grand next Friday and|
Saturday.
The company Include* Pres* Eldrldge,
known a* the cnmmander-ln-chlef of
the army of fun. In monologue. Un
doubtedly It will take more than the
present army of black-faced artists to
dislodge him. Thl* I* hi* nr*t season
with the Field Minstrel*, having been
ongaged In vaudeville for many year*
past. He has a world-wide reputation,
and Is a popular favorite both In Eu
rope and Amerlea.
They have the Black Barber*’ Band,
a big musical act In which a variety
of musical Instruments, including ths
saxophone, xylophone, bamboo chimes,
etc., are used In solo and chorus work.
The flnale, 'Dreamland Phantoms/N
discloses an old negro In his cups,
falls over In a drunken stupor at his
cabin door, and visions of Ills dream
are presented before the audience, Bac
chus In all his glory and the "Demon
of Drink" troop fantastically before the
old reveler and make the time hideous.
Bottles In every shape and form hob up
and do a series of weird gyrations.
Tho aet Is developed In several scene*
revealing "Drenm I.and" and the "Old
Mill” with episodes Incident to^thol
dream.
“A Wife’s Sserst.”
\ -A Wife’s Secret,” this week’s offer
ing at the Bijou, Is nil that wns claimed
for It In advance, and It Is proving to
be one of the best dramatic offerings
of many seasons at the Bijou. Aside
from the sympathetic tears that It call*
forth, the play contains a wealth of
rich humor and good comedy, with
amusing character sketches which por
tray the many sides of human nature.
Foremost among the players Is Miss
Grace Hopkins, who essays the role of
the wronged wife. Her conscientious
work and clever conception of the dif
ficult role at once stamps her an nrtlst
of merit. The balance of the company
Is decidedly up to the mark and the
performance tn Its entirety Is pleasing.
The scenic equipment la decidedly
pretentious and shows that Messrs.
Spencer and Aborn have spared neither
money nor pains tn providing the play
with a rich scenic setting.
“A Wife’s Secret” should play to the
capacity of the Btjou for the entire en
gagement, as the performance Is one
that will interest and please all classes
of theatergoers.
