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- Blanche Walsh in “The Woman in the Case. 1 Vincent Serrano in “On Parole” at the Grand.

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. For the forthcoming engagement “In yj" •>* « iv * n with miss Marie Quinn In the role of Madge.

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. October’s Skaters’ Month.
