Tiber river. One OF the girls was saved
and, after much questioning, she con-
fessed that she was a member of the
suicide league" She, like most of the
other members, is a servant girl
The girls. dissatisfied with their lot
in life. decided to kill themselves.
The head of the club is an aged wom-
an, who oversees the death drawings.
The girls meet every Wednesday night,
and no men are allowed to be present.
After partaking Of tea and cakes and
chatting among themselves they draw
threads OF silk from a small basket.
Those getting red threads must kill
themselves. The authorities have taken
steps to break up the club.

GRAND BILL A HUMMER.


There has been but one other bill at
the Grand this season which compared
in all-rOund excellence to the one Wnlcn
is being presented this week. And last
nights audience enjoyed it to the full:
The first two acts are good but OF the
regular kind, a pair of tight-wire sharp
shooters and a pair of singers, the former
two magnificently formed girls IN PINK
tights and the latter Alddlsher ana d
straight character
W. c. Fields, billed as the silent hu-
morist," walked up things at great rate
He works in absolute silence, but for
twenty minutes he kept his audience roar
ing with laughter. He juggles--and just
ordinary juggling at that, with three
balls, four balls, hat and cigar, ana
other articles of the regulation act of the
kind. But he ls tunny peyono nescllp-
Newbold and Griebben in neat act of
song limitations of well-known characters
in tropical plays, were above the ordi-
nary, and were liked; -.
"The Stool Pigeon" a police court story
with the third degree as It's MOTH, proved
a gripping incident of the bill, and Edwin
Arden and Annie Sutherland, playing the
principal characters in a cast of five, were
decidedly clever. The other three We're
really above the ordinary. The playlet Is
one of the most satisfactory vaudeville
stories seen in a long spell.
Marshall Montgomery, who ought TO pc
billed as the "ventriloquist extraordl-
nary" presented the same act which he
was seen in at the Forsyth a season or
two ago. but his work is so clean, his act
so neat and his work so well done ana
so excellent that it IS genuine treat. his
act is away above the average and was
highly appreciated last night.

AT THE PLAYHOUSES
"sUNTY" is GIVEN WELCOME.

The audience at the Atlanta last night
gathered at the play house full of curios-
ity about the quaint little Scotch play
which charmed New York Sometimes
the plays that charm New York fail to
do the same with audiences in other parts
of the country, and there was a bit of
doubt In the minds of the critical as to
how "Bunty' would turn out. But al
most with the rising of the curtain all
doubts rolled away, and the audience set
tied back to enjoy treat.
"Bunty" is not only the something
different" which is greatly, to, be desired
asset of an enjoyable play, but 1t is true
and simple and worth while. Every line
and every situation is full of the humOr
of life, strong with human emotion and
powerful with unassuming and simple
truth. New York, the blase and world
weary, can not be so bad when play
like "Bunty" meets with such hearty
response and enthusiasm in the hearts
and minds of New York audience. One
we'll as theatrical judgment, because Of its
Endorsement of "Bunty."
The play is distinctly Scotch and the
atmosphere Of the country and of the pc
Rod sometime in 1860'-is adhered to
with artistic thoroughness. The story Is
not 80 much a story as depletion OF
character, and the action of the play
unfolds quietly and with no climax or
anti climax-just as the best art does in
competent. Miss Dawsey McNaughton, as
Runty, is altogether lovely, and to men
ton the clever members of the company
is to enumerate the cast of characters.
Miss Eugenia Magnus as Susie Simpson
is one of the best.
