MODERN EVE IS
CLEVER SATIRE
|. ON OUR TIMES
Musical Numbers Charm Audi
enCe at the Acknowledgements
Tedro Leads Well.

"A Modern Eve" which opened at
the Atlanta Theater Monday night, is
clever musical travesty on the So
called new woman, and is fairly
we'll executed The music, including
Good bye, Everybody" the telephone
song and Rita which made big hits
when the the Berlin operetta was in
troduced in Chicago last season,
seemed to have lost none of its charm,
as each number was encored re-
peatedlN.
OF the cast Henrietta Tedro, in
the title role, far surpassed any of
her woman associates, while for the
men, Edward Hume as the henpecked
husband and John Patten, as Ca
miles fiance, had fair success with
the comedy end Of the play.
Despite the poor voices of Miss
Boyle, as Renee Cascadier, and Law
renee Ackerlind, as Justine POntgi-
rsrd, who carried the burden of the
musical score, the songs got over
without difficulty, thanks to a we'll
trained chorus
"A Modern Eve" will run through
the matinee and night performances
Tuesday.

In "a Ragged Hero"

In "A Ragged He.o O." which was
presented Monday night at the Bijou
by Eddie Black and associates to a
crowded house, Mr. Black has a part
that must have been specially writ
ten for st. Patrick's Day week. 1t
is that of a whole souled, ready-to-
fight the drop OF the-hat Irish
man. and the amount OF fun which he
put into the role kept the audience in
roar of laughter all the time he was
on the stage His Jerry is decidedly
one Of the best comedy parts that has
been presented at the Bijou in many
a day-Or night
"A Ragged Hero" is billed as a
comedy drama. 1t is all of that and
more 1t is as full of thrills s a poT-
cupine is of quilts, and interest IN
the plot is never allowed to flag,
The ClimaXes are strong and clean
cut, and there were repeated curtain
calls. The prison scene in the fourth
act called forth tremendous applause,
as did the storm in the third act.

can not be gansaid that Mr.. Brady S

about the act that lifts it above the

the central figure, Miss Jean Adair, is
a capable actress.
