The early appearance in Montgom- cry of the Barnum and Bailey Great est Show on Earth Is the best kind of news to those who love the circus. The date of the engagement Is Sat- urday, Nov. 13. and. unlike former seasons, the parade will not be omit ted.
 The Barnum and Bailey circus has originated the great attractions or searched them out from distant lands. while the other shows have copied as best they could and with indifferent success. The Barnum and Bailey management has had this advantage above all other shows--a prestige and strong clintele in every land on earth. It has agents in all parts of the world ever on the lookout for novelties. P. T. Barnum was the pioneer Of the cir- GUS business on an elaborate scale. His successor. James A. Bailey, per- petuated the Barnum policy. Today this great circus has reached a size that is giving the railroads much con cern, and there is 8 question If 1t could be handled by them if 1t were larger. It has five long trains. en- rolls 1,50O people. employs 700 horses and possesses a menagerie that em- braces all phases of the animal king dom. All the equipment Is new. the parade properties having been design ed and built in Europe.

 The Atlanta Constitution says
 The Top O tn World presented at the Grand last evening for the first of three performances. was given the Atianta Q. K. by highly pleased and enthusiastic audience.
 The production proved a cornucopia of good things in the musical comedy line. There were tuneful songs in uumher. gorgeous Staging. beautiful and shapely women, singers who could really sing. comedians whose work was as cheerfuily and effectively done as If they were playing on spercentage basis. and a snappiness about the sN~ ~fst<~ AtsetAA&I& V&sp VA SbAuA VI Of Car1s." @
 Prominent in the cast is Miss Will Lavender, a young woman reared in Selma, and weii-known throughout Alabama. Her family resides in Rome. Ga, at present. Of the young lady, The Atlanta constitutionsays:
 "Another member of the cast to att tract unusual attention was Miss Will Nell Lavender in the role of Prince Tonymite.

Finally quiet was secured and the action proceeded, but Miss Laven- der had scored heavily. A number of her friends from Rome attended the perforamnce.
 Other clever features of the produc- tion were the song act in which beau uful coliies were brought upon the stage; the work of Bailey and Austin and Al Grady; and the monoIogue of Charles Harris.p

New York, Oct. 23.--(SpeciaL )--New dramas by Augustus Thomas and Hen ry D. Casey are different quite. The titles indicate the dissimilarity. The Harvest Moon is psychological placid ly. TWO Women and That Man IS physical turbulently. .Thomass carrier plays were of and for men, robust. vital and masculine. It came to be said. that he didn't delineate femininity because he couldn't. We'll, no moon ever shone with more softly lunar effulgence on stage heroine than this harvest orb or night does on Adelaide Nowak. That Is the actress's name, and like to use 1t instead of the heroine's because Aoe- laide is a real girly girl. beautiful but with hands and feet, elbows and knees and charming for lack of the easy grace which she will gain with practice. Her own crudity serves for what would re- auire much skill in sophisticated ar tist; for the play says she IS but eign- teen, and still wouder-eyed at the world. Adelaide may work her way to fame.
 Thomas can't write sweetly senti- mental scene. eh? Look at this Ade- laide is going to act part in her sweetheart's play. He had directed the preparations. At dress rehearsal, ne has reproved her sharply. sne mas re- sented 1t and a lovers quarrel Is un- der way. A friendly dramatist under takes by one operation to cure the dis pited scene's fault ard the lovers own disagreement. He tells them. first on, that plays should be made to be seen as much as heard; that some passages ought to have a yellow outfit; others red or blue: and he shows the dinerent effects of various hues. This primary lesson in stagecraft interests the audi" ence.
 Next, the instructor teaches them that the scene in immediate question should have exactly the blend of blue and yellow to initiate the light shed by the harvest moon. He regrets that he can't fake the needed moonlight. An. but genuine harvest moon is shining outside The curtains are pulled aside and the moons effulgence floods the window What else can happen than that the real lovers quarrel melts away in a rehearsal of the mimic WOOL ing, and the mock lovers naivelyI be. troth themselves anew and actually. Negative suggestion! That is the particular kind of telepathyawith which Thomas makes "The Harvest Moon" psychological. Adelaide's mother gave birth to her while astray with para mour in Paris, and died there, after sending her to the home in New York. wher she grew up ignorant that her mothers husband was not her progeni-

Well, some sugar has been taken out of Little. Dorrit, and some ginger put in, to make her heroine for "The Debtors." She bossen her father while coddling him. gives cuffs to her misbe- having brother as well as kisses, and isn't so mindful of her father as to forget herself entirely--for she cocks her cap to catch Arthur .Clenham, in- stead of shrinking shyly from him as she did in the novel. The actress Is Kathleen Clifford, a nice little thing that used to frisk and frolic in extrava- ganza; and Clenham. who was sedate- fly middle-aged when Dickens intro- duced him to you. has become rak- ish young rounder of Beau BrumelPs time and type; So I wonder what the irascible and self-satisfed Dickens would say to see his characters altered by Fritz won Schoerthan in German, and thence by Margaret Mayo into Eng lish, to be sweethearts in courtship climaxing in happy marriage. How ever Little Dorrit Is very agreeable as here presented. Old I)orritt. the human derelicts floating hopelessiy at Marshall sea. are satisfactorily Dickensian, al- though acted by unknown men save Digby Bell. So a specific reason for the plays quick withdrawal must be sought. I think that l discern 1t in Old Dorritt.

DIckens's books dout contain plots for drama. No good play has ever been made out of his material. But Joe Jef- ferson's Caleb Hummer and Billy Flor ence's Captain Cutie are two among many happy transfers of Dickens char acters to the stage; and the failure of Bells William Dorritt to make ''The Debtors" live long is due in part only to his not being a Jefferson or Flor ence. The hindrance to success with Old Dorritt Is that. while the pathos and humor Of Dickens made his whims of vanity and tricks of rapacity reada- ble, as delineated in a play by rath- CT too explicit actor, they set your toes itching to kick him for a faker and heat. That he is liked on the stage in Berlin, where affectations of superiori- ty by birth are tolerated. and might be in London for the same reason, doesn [ recommend him in New York.

The play now has new and differ ent end. The story that would drive the rotten judge off the bench Is in
 the form. Several influences are press
 ed heavily on the managing editor. but in vian; he turns a deaf ear even to the pleadings of the girl he loves, who is his enemy's daughter. All that is still as I told it last Sunday. So, too, is the arrival of the proprietor with or ders to kill the story. But now he brings, also, the information that the fudge. on the promise of the journals silence. has agreed. to resign his office and retire totally from public life. The fournalist-a week older than when the play was new--does not shoot him- self. He buries his head disoonsolate- ly in his hands. The judges daughter,

It would be interesting to know which ending to The Fourth Estate" sums up its authors convictions. A guess would not be difficult. When Jo- seph Medlll Patterson presented hts drama in New York. its very dramatic climax taught with force that failure may be the reward of social reformer and suicide his ultimate confession of 1t. After the fearless young managing edi- tor had secured the evidence on which to expose corrupt judge. he was stop ped by the proprietor of the newspa- per and shot himself. This week the moral of the drama is changed to teach that compromise in a good cause is bet ter than complete defeat.
