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.

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.

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.)
