Six years ago William Black went to New York to locate. His ability and brilliant intellect quickly won him a prominent place among tho legal lights of his adopted home. A life time Dem ocrat, he became an Important factor In the Tammany organisation. During the first administration of Mayor McClellan he was appointed commissioner of accounts, a post car rying great responsibility.

This mighty scheme to bore beneath the Behring sed hat long been a dream of engineers and financiers of the world.

Standing room was at n premium before the curtain rose on the first act, and If any. one vacated his seat before tho drop of the curtain on the last act the fact haa 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 welt taken care of by Joe Morris and his side-partners In the production of laughter, Henry P. Nel son, as "Henrlch Dlnkelsplel,” and J. Maurice Holden, as "Cornelia Dlnkel- SP Qulte the main (harm of the play was the chorus, which, though of grad uated sl.es, was nope the less well drilled and prettily costumed. George Richmond's rendition of "Roll On, Sli ver Moon," was a distinct and most pleasing feature of the attraction. The Jokes were funny. One or two of them were as 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 Nordlend.” 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 tp see the big show. They saw It They saw a large production with half a dozen comedians and a big chorus. It bore the stamp of a 'tilg show,” but It lacked quality. There was no sparkle In the dialogue, no real music In the songs. The chorus girls were not the beauties advertised. The show was like champagne that has stood until the bubbles are gone—fiat, stale—but perhap* not unjo-plltable. There was one bright spot. Harriet Burt, the charming Contrary Mary of "Babes in Toyland." Is leading the coitipany. Every one remembered her when she sang "Beatrice Barefacls. which, by the way, was borrowed bod- %SSS wae"one "decidedly beautiful scene with a splendid color effect—the "Absinthe" song In the first act.

By that title It has been known ever since, and right royally Is the title de served. The press of the country, the theatrical critics who seem more anx ious to pick (laws than give praise, have caught the spirit of the thing and all are agreed that McIntyre and Heath never appeared to better advantage. There I, a lot of catchy music, song, with the cleverest words one ever heard, take-offs and Impersonations nnd the like, which keep the audience In a continual uproar of laughter. “The Lilac Room." ■ “The Lilac Room" Is tho title of the charming dramatic comedy by Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland and Beulah Marie Dlx, In which that clever Ameri can ackrcss-mannger, 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 thut Is the keynote to the produc tion. The scenes arc laid In n quaint English village among delightful gen tle folk, whose ordinary life Is strange ly nt variance with the set of unusual circumstances that befall them In the course of the drama. Miss Bingham plays an American woman, who comes quite unconventionally Into their midst and at first somewhat shocks their conventional sensibilities by her frank manner and ready tongue, but who In the end, through her wit, tact and force under trying circumstances, wins the admiration of all—and the love of the man Among them, whom she con siders most worth whlls. The role I, admirably suited to Miss Bingham’s art and personality, and gives her the opportunity to wear some stunning gowns. She It the only American play er In the cast, Just ns her character la the only one In the play representing an American. For the role* 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 culiarly delightful atmosphere of the play. The support Is headed by Fred Tyler, for years prominent with Boor* bohm 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 nnd knives and plenty of them, nnd then there are several catchy musical features, which are put on between the acta. While the play Is rather on the blood-cur dling order. It Is presented In a clev er way, and Is probably the largest production ever put on at the Star. There are about 45 people. Including a chorus of about 30 pretty girl*. This bill will run all the week, with usual matinees, nmLwill no doubt draw good houses. G. D. G. 'The -Laughing Trust, When George V.
