ST. LEON
PLAYS POLLY
ACCEPTAbLY
But Play Made Famous by the
TaIiaferro Sisters Loses Glory
With Years.
sy TARLETON COLLIER.

A rather shabby Renaissance of
The glory that once belonged to Pol
" of the Circus" was aroused by the
venerable production at the Atlanta
Theater Wednesday night.
Miss Elsie st. Leon filled accepta-
bly, the role made famous by the
Taliaferro sisters. Miss st. Leon, you
are told, was a circus rider herself
before trying out the legit.-which
tact you can we'll believe when she
throws d few back somersaults with
nonChalant ease for the delectation of
the village children in the second act.
In the second act, too, comes her
one triumph of the play, when she
sobs out her deception to Parson John
Douglas.
George F. Harris played the par
,on-or. rather, the Reverend John
Douglas. 1t is best not to be irrev
erent in this case Margaret Mayo
didn't let you forget that he was a
man Of the cloth when she wrote the
part, and Mr.. Harris last night i'm
pressed the fact even deeper He was
palpably saccharine.
The circus folks are the best of the
play, capable of creating the impress
sion of reality. But, altogether, the
egacy of Edith and Mabel Taliaferro
has not been nurtured too tenderly
in the present production.
Polly of the Circus" will be at the
Atlanta for matinee and night per-
fOrmances Thursday.

Hackett Draws Heavily.

Theatergoers are rapidly getting
acquainted with Norman Hackett and
the players appearing at the Lyric,
and are anticipating season OF de-
hghtful entertainment. The two bills
already presented have attracted con-
siderable attention, and have served
TO create a permanent reservation list
that indicates that the Lyric man
ageemnt is right in placing a stock
company for the presentation of the
best plays, instead of taking chances
with what the road could offer. In
classmates" Mr.. Hackett and the
players have firmly established them
selves The play is one of real in
tense interest, dealing with the expe-
rences of West Point cadets in love
and adventure.

The usual interest in vaudeville is
evidenced daily at the Forsyth by the
capacity gatherings. Allen Brooks, the
comedian of REST Cure" is contrib
uting largely to the success of the
Forsyth, and r. L. Goldberg, news
paper cartoonist of renown, also has
made a hit.
Next weeks headliner will be So
phie Tucker, the Mary Garden of
ragtime. Miss Tucker is the highest
salaried variety star brought to the
Forsyth. She is the originator of a
score of new popular song hits, and
during her engagement here will sing

Eddie Black at the Biiou.

The remarkable ovation that is be-
ing given to Eddie Black and his
players at the Bijou has seldom had
parallel in local theatricals The
popular little comedian made mis-
friends during the many weeks that

back with his own company, patrons
OF the Bijou are delighted and are
showing their appreciation In no UNI

Killed Her Babes
And Fired House

Pearl River, N. Y, May 13.-Double
murder, arson and suicide are the
crimes ascribed to Mrs. Elizabeth Kre-
ger, who was found dead with their
two children by Edward Kreger on
Tuesday night, after he and others Of
the volunteer fire company had ex-
tinguished the flames that threatened
his house.
1t was first told how kreger, called
from his work as a machinist to fight
a fire in his own home, was errone-
ously informed that his wife and chill
dren were safe. His grief was over
whelming when he searched the house
after the fire and found the bodies of
Mrs. Kreger and his son, Clifford, four
years old, kneeling together by bed,
while the daughter, eight years old,
lay across a trunk in the attic, where
it was reported that she had gone in
her efforts to escape.
Today DIR. r. r. Felter of Pearl
River, and DR.. George A. Leitner, of
Sparkill, n. j., reported that. in their
opinion, Mrs. Kreger had strangIed the
little girl and tried to stuff the BODY
into a trunk, believing that the fire
would hide the crime.
The bodies of the mother and the
boy were so badly burned that the ply
sicians were unable to say whether
the same methods had been used on
the boy They did not explain how
the woman ended her own life. The
Coroner considers further investiga-
ton unnecessary, and there will be
triple funeral at the Methodist church
tomorrow afternoon.
The fact that the doors Of the house
were all locked at 5 O'Clock In the art
ernoon first aroused the suspicious OF
the authorities, and 1t was soon de-
e:ded that mother and children might
have escaped If the former had willed
it. The flames did not reach the at
tic, where the little girl was found.
Mrs. Kreger was thirty-two years
old. For two years, it is said, she has
been sufferer from melaneholia.
