Unlike Tolstoi's novel of the name name, the man in the play Is unfaith ful tu his family vows. The sister of his own wife is his accomplice. Tho wife Is it loyal, loving, believing woman whose mind and heart will not enter tain what others would receive as con- lusive proof of guilt. But one event- melody, laughter and tears und they come in. such rapid succession that spontaneous applause are the Immi nent and only logical result. The piece will be seen at the Grand Tuesday aft ernoon at matinee and Tuesday night. "Th# Virginian.'* "The Virginian." which comes to tho Grand Wednesday and Thursday nights and Thursday matinee, Is perhaps the most genuinely Aim rlcan drama that we have ever had.

The romance between these two comprises n series of adventures that could happen in no country hut ours, and the whole forms a picture of the dawn of civilisation In one of our Western territories.

To The Editor of The Georgian: A large uudience of Atlanta's most cultured and appreciative music lovers attended the Hlerfiens-Glles concert ut the Grand opera house on Thursday night lust. Each member of this com pany Is an artist of the highest class, and the rendition of each number pro voked prolonged and deserved Applause. It was indeed n rare treat throughout, and Immensely enjoyed by ail those capable, of appreciating good music. However, i was unfortunate on this t»ct avion fn having a seat near a very ft iu, nnu nnere i am quite sure they wodld be highly entertained, and it Is on Decatur street, and Is called the Star. Wouldn't it be a good plan for tha ushers to be required to keep a look- out for these unrefined, inappreciable, uncultured "ignorants"? who* disturb the nice people who are entitled to be al lowed to enjoy a performance, and re port' such disturbers to a policeman, who could ask them to be quiet or re tire? There should be some relief. I hope all those who this cap fits will get a box seat every night at the Star— only fifty cents each~where their con- splcuoslty can better be displayed, and where they will find birds of a like feather unto their own disgusting selves.
