T HE GRAND will have no dark

While the coming of Blaneho
Batea In “The Wpman In the Cue,’’ the
Fitch drama which caused so much
discusalon In-New York,-Is perhaps the
event of the week, the appearance of
Charlotte Walker in "On Parole,”
looked forward to with a great deal of
Interest, especially among Southerners,
who love a story of the great conflict
told without a Northern bias.
"On Parole" has won especially fa
vorable mention In Washington and
other eltles. It will make a complete
tour of the South before given a New
York presentation.
For Thursday and Friday a comedy
drama. "The Girl Patsy,” has been
booked. While new to Atlanta, It has
attracted favorable comment In other
cities.
At the Bijou the week’s bill will be
“In Old Kentucky,” with Merle Quinn
In the leaillng role., The play It an old
favorite.
| “On Parole’’ Opens Week.
Vincent Serrano, the brilliant young
actor, who appears as Colonel Dale, In
Louie Evan Shipman's new . war-time
play. “On Parole." at the Grand next
Monday, Tuesday end Wednesday,
started to fit himself for a career In
diplomatic service. After graduating
from the colege of the city of New
York, Mr. Serrano accepted the posi
tion of attache of the Columbian lega
tion In Washington. This was In 1890,
and he served about two yean In that
capacity. Mr. Serrano's father was
born in the United States oft Colum
bia. and was an Influential citizen of
that country. Young Serrano's family
were of high social standing In Wash
ington, and he was given entrance to
the best circles In the capital city.
During his legation days In Washing-
ton Mr. Serrano had made a number of
successful appearances In private the
atricals. and one of his performances
was witnessed 'by the late Augustin
Daly, who Immediately gave him an
offer to study under his tuition. Tho
offer was accepted. Serrano resigned
as attache at the .Columbian legation,
and went to New York. He was then
21 years old, and waa to receive HO
per week.
A great many of Mr. Serrano’s Wash,
tngton acquaintances thought It quite
strange at the time that a young man
so load ot aoclal amueement and the
glitter of diplomatic service should
forsake them and take up serloualy the
drudge life of dramatic art. But his
good judgment has been very well at
tested by the long series of artistic sue
cesses he has made. * *
Mrs. Mary J. Serrano Is Vincent Ser
rano's mother, and Is well remembered
In Washington as one of our foremost
translators of that day. During her
residence In Washington Mrs. Serrano
published the celebrated “Diary of Ma
rie Bashklrtseff," and also the books
of the then Spanish. minister. Senor
Juan Valera, who was one of the most
famous of Spanish novelists.
Mias Charlotte Walker, who has the
leading role In "On Parole," Is a
Southern girl and well known In At'
lanta. It Is said that a number of the.
ater parties will be given In honor ot
her appearance.
"The gTtTPatsy." .
Jane Mauldin Felgl'a drama, "The
Girl Patey.” will be given Its first At
lanta production at the Grand Thurs
day and Friday nights. The company
Is said to have been selected by the
author of the play, who staged tho pro
duction and spared no effort to give It
every finish possible.
The play, deale with a problem of the
present time In the domestic life of
New York state. In an aristocratic
country town, where the pride of an
cestry Is not untainted by the breath
of scandal. t
"Blanche Walsh."
Wagenhsls and Kemper will present
Blanche Walsh at the Grand next Sat
urday matinee and night, In the great
Clyde Fitch play, "The Woman In the
Case," which comes here with.the re
markable, record of having been pWVed
In six different theaters Ih New York
for more than 200 nights.
That Mr. Fitch should have been se
lected to write a play for Blanche
Walsh, whoso chief distinction lies in
her’ability to depict the more violent
emotions, seems strange at first, and
yet the explanation offered by her man
agers at least shows there was method
In this madness. For several years
Blanche Walsh has been before the
footlights rather In the character of a
dramatic preacher than In that of an
actress. Gruesome If powerful plays
have been her stock In trade. It Is
true that In thia field she won a great
personal triumph, but he* managers
did not with the Impression to pre
vail that she waa tied to this depart
ment of tho drama, and. moreover, they
did not wish it to be forgotten that
youth and beauty was one of Miss
Walsh's most valuable assets. She
herself thought that a respite from the
dramatic sermon was desirable, and
that a drama which, though forceful,
should at the same lime provide en
tertainment. waa the article to seek.
In such a direction no dramatist of
known ability could furnish a sharper
contrast to “Resurrection” and similar
playa she bsd been doing than could
Mr. Clyde Fitch. For this reason he
was chosen, and the result was “The
Woman In the Case." the biggest pop
ular success the New York stage has
had In several seasons. Mr. Fitch was
asked to place the action of hi a now
play where he nhia moat at home,
namely, among the society life of New
York city. It waa also stipulated that
Miss Walsh should be provided with
a role that Would permit her to be
gowned In the latest and most fashion
able mode.
It has become almost generally ac
cepted of late years as a necessary con
dition that an actess of emotional and
tragic power can find no opportunity
of exploiting her talents except In a
salacious or dirty play. It Is In up
setting this theory tlist Mr. Fitch has
earned the most admiration for his
"Woman In the Case.” for although
Miss Wa|sh has a splendid chance to
show the dramatic fire and fervor for
whfdh site Is Juatly famous, the char
acter she assumes Is that of a good
woman, the type. American woman
hood, which the writers of other coun
tries never tire of paying tribute—In
telligent, resourceful, beautiful, falth-

ful and. If need be, self-sacrificing.
Such Is the character of Margaret
Rolfe In which Blanche Walah appears
In "The Woman In the Case.” It Is
the struggle of Margaret Rolfe to re.
pair the ruin wrought by the woman
In the case, which supplies the dramatic
Interest of the play.
“In Old Kentucky."
The Bijou will offer next week, be
ginning Monday night, the popular
American play with Its famous race
scene, "In old Kentucky."
"In Old Kentucky” has a grasp upon
the affections of the average theater
goer, probably because of Its Intense,
rugged, honest AtnerJyanlsm every
where In evidence, whether amnnr the
mountain peaks of Kentucky, down In
the blue-glass valley or at the race
track in I^xlngton; Its characters are
typical Americans, and none are more
strongly typical than the pickaninnies
gathered from all ports of the South
land. The whole atmosphere ot the
play Is of the glorious land over which
triumphantly waves the Stars and
Stripes. The heart interest Is strong,
the various situations thrilling, the ac
tion swift, the dialogue reminiscent of
the Daniel Boone state, the villainy of
the sort that is watched with bated
breath and the love-making delicious.
“In Old Kentucky” has all the elements
for the striking ot a harmonious chord
In the hearts of good people, and so'
potent that the vibrations are long con
tinued. It Is a clean, sweet play fn>m
beginning to end.

“Human Hsarta."
With all the hue and cry about the
immorality of the stage, certain plays
of the type of “The Old Homestead,"
“Shore Acres,” "Human Hearts," etc.,
continue to grow In popularity. In
stead of receiving adverse criticisms
front the pulpit, the management of
•’Human Hearts" continually receive
letters (rum leading clergymen
throughout the country, praising It for
Its heart Interest and the beautiful
moral story It tells, making an evening
well spent for all who see It. The old
adage that “a good man should marry
none but u good woman,” was never
more truly Illustrated In fiction than
In "Human Hearts." No dramatic au
thor has ever given to the stage a
more Idyllic character than Tom Lo
gan. a big, whole-souled son of the
soil, one of "nature’s” own noblemen,
who has fallen Into the snare of a city
adventuress and is only saved front
ruin and destruction through the pray
ers of a loving mother, a little child,
and the love of a pure. Innocent girl,
the sweetheart of his boyhood days.
"Human Hearts” will be the attrac
tion at the Grand this afternoon and
tonight.
