Irish 'American Bank Three Pretty Girls to he Seen Here Next Tuesday Night at the Grand with Lil- icisms speak for themselves: North American—“ Lillian Russell and her company in ‘The First Night’ won favor in this farcical affair, with not too much solid material, but. with abundant humor of situation and with plenty of sparkle.” Press—“ 'The First Night’ is a cap ital farce, with uproariously funny situations and plenty of bright dia logue and has qualities to provoke the laughter of all play-goers. Miss Rus sell with her imperial beauty, against which time seems to be powerless, again showed her charming gifts as a comedienne.” Inquirer—“ Lillian Russell in her seeming possession of eternal youth fulness is always refreshing and pleas ing in herself and her latest role af fords her amj)le oportunities to dis play her undoubted ability as a com edienne. George V. Hobart in adapt ing ‘The First Night’ from the Ger man has written clevely and his com edy is both sprightly and deft. Miss Russell plays with her usual gayety. and finish. Her art is self possessed and graceful and she extracts genu ine comedy from the role.” Ledger—" Lillian Russell and ‘The SiOK SMDMIiG s—Positively5 —Positively cured by PARTSTFJQ theca Little Fills.

Phil lips, Jr. J"e Only One “BROMO QUININE,” that Is Laxative Quinine Cures a Cold in One Way., CO- i-* ~ Days lian Russell in “Tlie First Night.” First Night’ drew to the Broad Street Theatre an audience of gorgeous pro portions in defiance of lingering evi dences of the blizzard and sadly de morailezd transportation facilities.” “The audience fairly stormed its ! approval, curtain calls began with the first act and were numerous on the close of the second. In the third act the former ‘comic opera queen’ I demonstrates that she has skill of no ; mean calibre in straight comedy. At j the close of the act Miss Russell de | livers a speech with fautless elocu tion, her rich speaking voice suggest ing possibilities of power and feeling which might serve her well even in more exacting character roles.” Seats now selling. Next Friday “The Merry Widow.” Reams have been written concern ing “The Merry Widow,” which will be presented at the Grand next Fri day night. The exquisite story which its music supports has been reviewed by a thousand critics, and theater goers all over the world, from Vienna, where the opera had its birth, to San Francisco, have flocked to see it. It remains the biggest operetta success in the history of the stage. Figures prove this. The operetta’s career demonstrates the fact that the public recognizes genius and endorses it with its coin, for Lehar's operetta is just as great a triumph of art as Strauss’ waltzes. The fact that it is written in a slight vein and that it en tertains is only another evidence of the skill of Its creator who manages to write so that the pedant approves and the untrained adores. “The Mer ry Widow” has become a popular classic, appealing to everybody. Efforts on the part of the manage ment of the local theater to extend the season when "The Merry Widow” was here before failed. Other cities were clamoring for the piece, and it had to move on. In every city where the operetta has appeared the experi ence has been the same—crowded houses at every performance, and in sistent demands for an early return of the play. The standard of excellence which was manifest on the first visit of Henry W. Savage’s production of the Viennese success will obtain this time. Cast, orchestra, costumes, scenery and all will conspire to win the same whole hearted approval and generous patronage which were ac corded “The Merry Widow” a few months ago by theater-goers of this city. If the experience of this the ater is similar to that of all the other playhouses which have enjoyed a sec ond season of this production, there will be an even greater demand for seats now than before. Reservations can now be mude by phoe or mail. Mrs. Fiske. The universal appeal of the theme of “Salvation Nell” in which Mrs. Fiske will appear at the Grand Friday, Jan 22, the realistic setting with which it is invested by Harrison Grey Fiske, and the high order of interpretative power which Mrs. Fiske has brought to bear upon it, combine to create a new standard in American play pro duction. “Salvation Nell” strikes a note which reaches with wonderful universality. Everyone surrenders to the spel! of its remarkable love story- Be sides, the play interests the lover of realism, the spectator on the alert for striking situations, the man or woman who seeks the theater for new vistas, the sociologist absorbed in the study of a fragment, of humanity, the theologian, who sees in the struggle against degradation the finger of a force greater than man’s or woman’s, and the play goer who likes a play for its own sake. List for reservation of seats now open. At the Bijou. Today will be the last of the ex cellent vaudeville offering for this week. The patronage has been enor mous and it certainly deserves pack ed houses, for when the price of ad mission is taken into consideration the performance is a rattling good one. The matinee this afternoon will be !Kin at 4 o'clock and the night perform, ances will start promptly at 7:30 and 9 o'clock. Last Day of the Ellises. The Ellises close their engagement at the Superba with today’s malinre and night performance, ft is perfect ly safe to say that nothing that has ever appeared in an amusement house jin Augusta has caused as much specu j lation and conversation as has this clever but mysterious pair of enter- Itainers, arid if there are any skeptics THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. as to mental telepathy left, they are hard to find, and certainly haven’t seen the Ellises perform. In order to give everybody left an opportunity to see these wonderful people, as well as to accommodate the hundreds who return daily, it is announced that performances will run from 3.30 to 11:00 today, without in termission.

Good Store Illumination doesn’t mean light in “bunches,” nor does it mean bare lamps that hang low enough to glare in people’s eyes. The lights should he hung high, with scien tifically designed rellectors which throw the light down where it, is needed and at the same time diffuse it over a large area. This gives an even illumination all over the store, no dark cor ners and no shadows. The customer doesn’t have to bring an article to the light to see what it looks like. It is impossible to accomplish this with bare lamps hung low. Augusta Electric Co. COMMERCIAL AGENT. ’PHONE 2697 MR. AND MRS.
