HandIt," will be «een at the Grand on
Wednesday and Thursday. The com-
i -my la newly organised along bright
lines. The scene opens In an Italian
city. An ancient palace faces a park,
on the other side of which Is a pic
turesque looking; cafe. In the palnoe is
conducted, by the Prlnclpessa dl Vulla-
inonte, a seminary for young ladles,
These young ladies all happen to be
the daughters of rich Americans and
are in Italy for the purpose of securing
as husbands real noblemen to whom
money is more or less an object. She
Is a crafty old soul and surrounds the
place with an air of strict privacy, and.
therefore, to the young ladles, of real
romantic interest. Near by the palace
Is a canal on which the gondolas float.
1 These, the gondoliers and the dusky
? Italian girls make a scene that Is satis
fying to the eye. #

ble hint In the eyes of the beautiful
girl, and Mrs. Tyler, who wrote the
book of the operu. has weaved about
their lives n charming love story.
There will be a matinee Thursday
w afternoon.
“Evtryman.**
“Everyman.” the old morality play
| which Den Greet and Ills company will
! produce nt the Grand on Haiurduy aft-
j ernoon irt matinee, Saturday night,
j Monday night and Tuesday afternoon
at matinee, opens, after a brief pro-
!■: loguc, wheii the Deity looking down
\ upon the sinful earth, perceives how
"Everyman llveth after his own pleas-
\ ure.” He calls upon Death, IiIk
- “mighty messenger,” to proceed to
“Everyman” and summon him to take
£ » pilgrimage which he cannot escape,
and bid him to bring a sure reckoning.
“Everyman” appeals to his old friend.
Fellowship, to take the pilgrimage with
him. and although Fellowship Is ready
for a dinner, a game or a murder, lie
declines to take the pilgrimage. Wealth,
called upon, believes he can set gJI dis
orders aright, but when he Is Advised
of the circumstances he. too. is help-
loss. Good Deeds and Knowledge are
Interceded and the other to plead for
“Everyman.” The lesson Is taught that
all must make the pilgrimage when
summoned by the "mighty messenger.”
At the Bijou.
Few better detective stories have ever
been staged than “The Millionaire De
tective," which is starring Howard Hall
this week nt the Bijou. The story Is
: interesting, to say the least, and the
| situations are brought out In a logical
► manner. Howard Hall Is the same de-
f, bonalr fellow who seems to hr ex
actly fitted to play a role of this sort.
He assumes several disguises In a
creditable manner. In the supporting
company are several well-known peo
ple to Atlantans. William Htuart and
Miss Anna Hollinger will be remem
bered as members of a stock company
which played several seasons ago at
the Grand. The company throughout
Is pleasing.
The engagement promises to be a
grand success, judging from the way
patron* of the Bijou are enjoying the
performance. There will be matinees
on Thursday and Haturtlay afternoons
at the usual hour.
“Beware of Msn."
At the El Dorado the bill Tuesday
was the great play of the Irish-Ameri
can author, Fits Murphy, "Beware of
Men.’ 1 ** As can be supposed by the
name the play Is one that tenches of
the dangers to a young girl In n great
city and the too great confidence In
men they don’t know. Among the lead
ers, the acting of Miss I>e Vernon and
Mr. Murdoch was very good. They
both had rather difficult part*, but
played them In a manner entirely sat
isfactory. Miss Frances Murdoch and
Mr. William II. t'auley made the com
edy for the play, and tlielr ••fforts were
rewarded by repeated applause. The
work of Mr. Aldrich Everett us Dickey
Byrd was also good.
“Beware of Men” will b* given Wed
nesday afternoon and tonight for the
last time. On Thursday, Friday and
Haturday. with matinees Friday and
Saturday, the great English drama.
“Woman Against Woman,” will he the
bill.
Mansfiald’s Pries*.
A report has gained circulation that,
owing to his extraordinary success In
“Peer Gynt,” and also on account of
the original and current expense en
tailed by this production, Diehard
Mansfield has raised his prices. This
Is untrue and Mr. Mansfield’s man
agement writes asking an emphatic de
nial that he has raised or proposes to
raise the tariff on his ticket* above
what It ha* been uniformly for many
years. Having concluded his long sea
son In Chicago, he played “Peer Gynt”
In the Twin Cities last \ve«*k to the
largest audiences of record there. The
Ht. Paul Dispatch said: “ ’Peer Gynt'
Is the tpost marvelous rNploltntion the
stave has seen. Undeniably the best
acting he has ever done, this perform
ance. If repeated during the few re
maining years of Mr. Mansfield’s activ
ity. will allow him to retire, as good
artists prefer to retire, nt the zenith of
accomplishment.'' The Pioneer Press
raid: “In ‘Peer Gynt' Mansfield bold*
aloft a new torch which lights the h|»ox
of his career.” The Minneapolis Jour
nal said: “From any viewpoint a su
preme achievement. ‘Peer Gynt' tests
Mansfield’s protean versatility as an
actor, and his untiring Industry and Ir
reproachable ta«te a* a producer, in n
way that I* unrivaled in t’ A stage's
history.”
Mr. Mansfield will appear in Atlanta
In ”I\?er Gynt” «#r» December 57.
