"A Corner in Coffee."
Mr. Tim Murphy, on Monday and
Tuesday night and Tuesday matinee at
the Grand, will preaent “A Corner in
Coffee.” a charming play, charmingly
played by an excellent company. The
two leading characters portrayed by
Tim Muphy and Dorothy Sherrod and
a cast specially* chosen by Mr. Murphy
with regard to tils or her fitness for
each part, promisee to .make a moat
pleasing and satisfying performance. A
brilliant play la often ruined by a poor
company, which accounts for that feel
ing of disappointment that one often
experiences on seeing a much heralded
Xew York success. It- takes an actor
or actress of high ability to play the
leading part in a play of high ability,
and actors of that clgss can seldom be
Induced to leave New York unless they
are starred or featured. For that rea
son the performance, headed by a star
actor, Is apt to give much greater sat
isfaction than the most widely adver
tised play Interpreted by an average
road company. It Is hard to get the
worth of your money seeing a Xew
York success, unless It Is seen In Xew
York, us it Is there played by actors
of the highest order. Then, when the
piny has been thoroughly advertised ns
a “real hit,” Inferior actors are sub
stituted, and It Is sent out through the
ountry to coin money on Its Xew York
reputation.
Richard Mansfield.
No dramatic event Js awaited with j
the confident eagerness of the appear
ance of Richard Mansfield. It Is now
years since lie has played here.
He comes again on Thursday night and
111 be seen at the Grand in his great
role of the Norwegian scamp In
superb production of Henrik Ibsen's
'Peer Gym.” Mansfield deserves u
place among the great educators ns
well ns the great uctors of bis time.
He has not been content with the ease
anti comfort of sustained runs In New
York. He posHCNses a fondness for
every corner of the country which has
raised him to bis position of pre-emi
nence, and ho has been loglcul to the
point of dedicating some few weeks of
every year to some particular section.

"Parsifal" It Coming.
The famous poet, author and com-
power, Richard Wagner, wan always
known as a man of absteiuloun habits
and frugul fasten. Notwithstanding
his genius, he was ns simple and ns
impulsive ns a child, even at the height
of his career. One of the many an
ecdotes told of him. Illustrating these
traits. Is worth repeating.
It was during the rehearsal of "Par
sifal," prior to Its Initial production in
1882.
Ills wife, Goslmn Wagner, and him
self, were seated In the auditorium of
the Festival theater, Intently watching
one of the final rehearsals of "Parsifal.”
as greatly pleased with tbo man
ner the artist* acquitted themselves,
and, at the grand finale of the second
act, he was so overcome with Joy that
he rushed upon the stage and kissed
nnd hugged the principals, In ecstasy of
the moment, dancing around like a very
hllil. This Impulsive exhibition of his
gratification nnd pleasure was well un-
demood by the artists, and gave them
Intense satisfaction.
Glancing out In the auditorium, he
perceived his wife, who had been a si
lent witness of everything* and, seem
ing to think he Imil neglected her, he
hastened to her side ami showered
kisses and embraces upon her, as If to
atone for his apparent neglect,
some time before the great master re
gained his composure, so that the re
hearsal could continue.
A dramatization of "Parsifal” will be
presented at the Grand on next Friday
and Saturday nights and Saturday
matinee.
At the Bijou.
"Me, Him and I,” an up-to-date mu
slcal comedy, under the direction of
llurtlg and Beamon, Introducing the
three popular comedians, Billy W. Wat
son, Mike Kelly nnd Hilly Arlington,
as the German, the Irishman nnd the
Tramp, respectively, will be seen nt the
Dljou next week.
This Is the third annual tour of this
company, which has during the pre
ceding years, on account of Its merits,
received unstinted praise and patron
age from the theater-going public. The
entire production has been brightened
with new scenery, costumes and prop
erties The company to support the
three comedians has been carefully se.
lected, in fact those who "made good”
heretofore have been retained and oth
ers have been Improved uinm by new
material. Several new musical num
bers have been Introduced. Rlfty peo
ple will be in the cast. Including thirty
chorus girls. An extra matinee Is an
nounced for Wednesday for those who
111 not get s*»ats nt the Christmas mat.
Inee.
Patrons of the Bijou have seldom a
chance to see a costume play so well i
presented n* the me «hlch Is holding I
the hoards of title house tills week. J
’hark** Ms jot's romance, "When!
Knighthood Was in Flower.” unfolds
a story that must h»>ld the attention ol
the auditor from beginning to end.
The b«M>l; 14 splendid.^ the play Is l>et- I
ter. Miss Anna I>ay and hp»* company '
give a good ore** motion, and the per
formance throughout the live acts mer
its th? highest praise.
Three performance* remain for this
engagement, and large • audiences will
certainly see the piece during the re
mainder of the w«*ek.
At tht £1 Dorado.
That the o!d war-time spirit is not
dead was demonstrated Thursday nigh*
at El Dorado by the Baldwin-Melville
Block Company on the one hand and J
the audience on the other. The play
was "My Kentucky Home,” and every
climax was greeted with tumultuous
applause.
Miss Vail DeVernon played Luclle
Carlyle, who was torn between the
conflicting emotions of love for a Fed
ernl officer and a desire to punish her
brother's assassin, the evidence point
ing to her sweetheart as the guilty
man. Hhe has never in Atlanta de
pic ted a part so entirely suited to her
as this, and several times the atmos
phere she lent to the play found Its
way across the footlights nnd the au
dience lived with her In her troubles
bark in the sixties. Especially Is this
true of the scene In the third act,
where she hus to decide between such
strong evidence of her lover's guilt as
the assassin of her brother and her
heart's dictates of his Innocence.
W. H. Murdoch was the Federal of
ficer, Victor Blanchard, nnd his por
trayal of the purt was splendid.
fails of good, clean comedy was giv
en by Miss Hartly nnd Mr. Silver In
Gay Carlyle, Luclle's cousin, and a
l«ond< 11 war correspondent, Confucius
Carter.
Miss Louise Kent played Kate Wll-
vnarth. a rebel spy, who loved the vil
lain, Captain Dudley Middleton (W. H
Barry), nnd she did a splendid bit In
the discovery of the papers telling her
of his guilt. (He Is the assassin of
young Carlyle.)
The play Is well worth seeing, and
will he repeated Friday and Saturday,
matinees and nights. "Sherlock
Holmes" will be the play Monday
night. It Is a companion play to
"Raffles.”
Children at El Dorado.
On Saturday afternoon the Baldwln-
Melvllle Stock Company will again give
one of their free matinees to the school
children of Atlanta. The success of
the matinee on last Saturday, coupled
with the fact thnt many of the children*
were unable to obtain seats on account
of the lurge number that applied for
them, has decided the management of
the naldwin-Melville Company to give
another matinee for them.

AGAINST MILL MEN.
Special to The Georgian.
Charlotte. X. C., Dec. 21.—The mill
■pen of Charlotte and Gastonia, who
are being sued for 170,000 lines for al
leged violation of the alien contract
laws In bringing 70 British Immigrants
to work in the cotton mills, and who
also have been Indicted on a conspiracy
charge, ore experiencing a feeling of
relief on account of the ruling of Sec
retary Straus of the department of
commerce and labor, which was made
public yesterday In the case of the
I'harlesttfn Immigrants.
Counsel for the mill men have made
statements bearing on tbit cases of
Ed, A. Smith, and - the other defend
ants, saying that the two cases appear
virtually in the same class.
The only grounds for government
continuation of Its cases, according to
counsel* for the mill men, might be
found In,the fact that tho South Caro
lina legislature had'duly authorised the
work of securing tho Immigrants who
came over on the Wittektnd, while tho
agent of tho North Carolina mill men
Was not so authorised.
