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. # The Princlpessa lias a gianddnugh 5 ter, Vlolette by name, who loves t poor poet, A niello.

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.

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.
