"Lovers and Lunatics." If attendance and applause are cri terion! of the merits of a play, "Lovers and Lunatlca," the musical comedy that held the boards at the Bijou on Monday night was one of the most'dc^ lightful plays that ever sent laughter on a lark. Standing room was at n premium before the curtain rose on the first act, and If any one vacated his seat before the drop of the curtain on tho last act the fact has not been recorded. En cores were frequent. Applause was generous throughout, and voluminous In "spots.” There are any number of funny sit uations In the play, and In the main they were well taken care of by Joe Morris and his side-partners In the production of laughter, Henry P, Nel son, its "Henrlch Dlnkelsplel," and J. Maurice Holden, as "Cornelia Dinkel- splel.” i • Quite the main charm of the play was the chorus, which, though of grad uated sizes, was none the less well drilled and prettily costumed. George Richmond's rendition of "Roll On, Sil ver Moon," wns n distinct and most pleasing feature of the attraction. The Jokes were funny. One or two of them were ns funny as the law al- ° "Lovers and Lunatics" will be at the Bijou through the week. If there were any disappointed people at the theater •Monday night they were not In evi dence. It Is safe to predict, therefore, that good houses will greet the com pany each night. J. D. G. "It Happened in Nordland.” What happened? Nothing! , • If anything happened during the three hours of dreariness In the Grand Monday night nobody awoke In time to observe It. There were those who heard with regret that the production which had been so successful In East and West was in Atlanta for only one night. Everybody wanted to sec the big show. They saw It. They saw .a large production with half a dozen comedians and a big horns. It bore the stamp of a "big show" but It lacked quality. There was no sparkle In the dialogue, no real music In the songs. The chorus girls wore not the beauties advertised. The show was like champagne that has stood until the bubbles are gone—flat, i—-i- but perhaps not unprofitable. •There wns one bright .spot.

The press of the country, the theatrical critics who seem more anx ious to pick flaws than give praise, have caught the spirit of the thing and all are agreed .that McIntyre nnd Heath never appeared to better advantage There Is a lot of catchy music, songs with the cleverest words one ever heard, take-offs and Impersonations and the like, which keep the audience In a continual, uproar of laughter. "The Lilac Room.” "The Lilac Room" Is the title of the charming dramatic comedy by Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland and Beulah Marie Dix, In which that clever Amerl- can actress-manager, Amelia Bingham, supported by a strong company of Eng lish, players, will make her appearance at the Grand Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with a matinee Saturday afternoon. The name suggests the freshness and fragrance of rural England—a sugges tion that la the keynote to the produc tion. The scenes are laid In a quaint English village among delightful gen tle folk, whose ordinary life Is strange ly at variance with the set of unusual clrrumstances that befall thenf in the course of >he drama, ills* -Bingham plays an American woman, who comes quite unconventionally Into their midst nnd at flrst somewhat shocks thdr conventional sensibilities by her frank manner nnd ready tongue, but who in tho end, through her wit, tact and force under trying circumstances, wins the admiration of all—nnd the love of the man among them, whom she con siders most worth while. Tho "role It admirably suited to Miss Bingham's art anil personality, and gives her the opportunity to near some stunning gowns. She Is the only American ♦lay er In the cast. Just as her character Is the only one In the play representing an Amerlcnn. For tho roles of English men and women, Miss Bingham went to London for players, with the result that "The Lilac Room’’ has a cast thoroughly capable of reflecting the pe. cullarly delightful atmosphere of the piny. The BUpport Is headed by Fred Tyler, for years prominent iVlth Roor- bohni Tree and with the famous Lon don Lyceum Company. At the Star. The Kentucky Outlaws" seemed to hit the fancy of the Star audience Monday night, and was greeted, by thunderous applause. The principal features of this moun tain drama are pistols and knives nnd plenty of them, and then there arc several catchy musical features, which are put on between the acts. While the play Is rather on the blood-cur dling order, It Is presented In a clev er way, nnd is probably the largest production ever put on at the Star. There are about «."> people.
