tureaque looking cafe. In the paiace Is
conducted, by the Prineipessa dl Valla
inonte, a seminary' for young ladles.
These young ladies all happen to be
the daughters of rich Americans and
•re In Italy for the purpose of securing
as husbands real noblemen to whom
money la 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.
These, the gondoliers and the dusky
Italian girls make a scene that Is satis
fying to the eye.

At th« Bijou.
Tew better detective stories have ever
been staged than "The Millionaire De
tective." which Is starring Howard Hall
this week at the Bijou. The story is
Interesting, to say the least, and the
situations are brought out in n logical
manner. Howard Hull is the same de
bonair fellow who seems to l>e c*x-
uotly fltted 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 Stuart and
Miss Anna Hollinger will be remem
bered ns members of n 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
patrons of the ffljuti are enjoying the
performance. There will be matinees
on Thursday and Huturduy afternoon*
at the usual hour.
''Biwart of Mon.”
At the El Dorado the Idll Tuesday

can author. Ktu Murphy. “Beware of
Men." As can be supposed by the
name the play is one that teaches of
the dangers to a young girl in a great
city and the too great c.onfldenee. in
men they don’t know. Among the lead
er*, tlv* net lug of Miss l»e Vernon and
Mr. Murdoch wa* very good. They
both find rather difficult parts, but
played them In a manner entirely sat
isfactory. Miss France* Murdoch and
Mr. William II. faulry made the com
edy for Hie olay. and their effort* w -*re
rewarded by rt»i*»uted applause. The
work of Mr. Aldrich Everett as Dickey
Jlyrd was ul*o good.

Mansfield's Pries*.
A rep i t Im* gained circulation that,
owing to his extraordinary success tn
“Baer Uynt." and also on account of
the oi lgt ial and cun cut expense en
tailed by till* production, Richard
Mansfield has raised Ills prices. This
Is untrue and Mr. Mansfield'* man
agement writes asking an emphatic de
nial that lie Ims raised or propose* to
raise the tariff on Ills tickets above
what It has been uniformly for many
years. Having concluded lit* long sea
son tn Chicago, tn* played *'l*ecr Gym"
In the Twin tMiles last neck to the
largest audiences of record there. The
St. Paul Dispatch said: “‘Peer G>nt*
Is the most marvelous exploitation the
staire lias .seen. Undeniably the best
noting he has ever done, this perform
ance, If repented during the fcv. re
maining years of Mr. Mansfl* Id’s activ
ity, will allow him to retire. n.« good
artists prefer to retire, at the xenlth of
accomplish mem." The Pioneer Press
said: "In ’Peer Oynt’ Mansfield holds
aloft a new torch which light* the apex
of hi* career.” The Minneapolis Jour
nal amid: “From any viewpoint a su
preme achievement. 'Peer Gym* tests
Mansfield** proteun versatility n.s an
actor, and lit* untiring industry and Ir
reproachable taste as a producer. In a
way that Is unrivaled in the stage’s
history. ” '
Mr. Mansfield will appear in Atluntu
In “Peer Gym” on December 27.
