‘'UIULE REMUS’8” BIRTH D AY.
Uhildren Bug Songs and Read the Two
“Tar Baby" Stone*.
The children of Atlanta celebrated
the birthday of Joel Chandler Harris
during the “children’s hour” at the
Carnegie library Friday afternoon.
Mr. Harris was not present; he sent
a letter saying that he couldn’t face
the children without a great display of
what Brother Rabbit calls his “big
boo-hoo.’’ And the children sent a
letter in reply, forgiving him for not
coming and telling him how dearly they
love “Uncle Remus,” in his books
and out of them as well.
The c* n Mren began assembling be-
fore 4 o clock, and when the clock
struck the hour, the room held a big
crowd of the little people, come in
spite of rainy weather, to celebrate
the birthday of one who is very dear
to them.
lhe big room looked bright and
beautiful. Br’er Rabbit and Br’er
Fox and the rest of the Uucle Remus
characters, whose portraits adorn the
big fireplace; seemed to realize what

Phroso.
The mysterious "what is it" of vau-
deville will be on exhibition at the
theater. This wonJertuI autrnaton
was made by Rtjars ot Paris, and is in
a sense a master-piece. Its move-
ments are so human, so life-like, that
every audience that has seen it has
been amazed that such perfection
could be reached in a mechanical
figure. It is composed of 305 separ-
ate pieces, one for every day in the
year, and took years of patient toil to
perfect and build. “Phroso” (a
Grecian word meaning cold, passion-
less), was first exhibited at the Paris
exposition in 1900, and was after-
wards toured all over Europe, Cum-
ing to Hammersfein, Victoria theater,
New York from London, where it had
a long, successful run. “Phroso" is
operated by Miss Lillian Campbell,
who takes the figure down a pair of
steps into the audience and it shakes
hands with any one who wishes. It is
. well to be careful, however, as the
automaton is heavily charged with
electridty, its motive power.
Arthur Lane.
Arthur Lane, who comes direct from
the Proctor circuit of theaters to the
interstate circuit, belongs to the
younger generation ot funmakers ana
aside trom having appeared in all the
principal vaudeville theaters ot the
country, he has had the distinction of
playing for over 350 consecutive
nights at the Palace music hall in Lon-
don. He has appeared in other
Texas cities of the interstate circuit
heretofore ia the Belle of New York,
the Christina, Murray A: Mack and
other attractions. For many years he
was an Episcopal choir boy in New
York. Mr. Lane is a graduate of Har-
vard college. With a fine voice f r
singing and quiet methods, he is abie
to keep an audience in a constant
laughter, without resorting to vul-
garity or horseplay. As a monologue
talker he employs the latest humor,
topical and bizarre and nothing could
be funnier than his repetition ot grave-
yard epitaph which seldom fails to
evoke gales of mirth. Not the least
pleasing cf Mr.Lane's performance is
his singing of ‘‘Jimmy, the Pride
Newspaper Row.” as rendered by him
in his long run at Palace music hall.
Mamie Fulton
Ballay singing is an accomplishment
iD which the vaudeville stage far out-
shines the legitimate. An exponent of
this art will be heard next week at the
Majestic theater in the pets n of Miss
Mamie Fulton, who has riled maty
seasons at Hammtrstein's theater, New
York and in all the houses of the Kt it!,
Proctor and other leading vaudeville
circuits of the country. There is a
knack in sioging ballads. Miss Fu.-
ton possesses this knack in an pleasing
degree. Perhaps it is the swing or
peculair lilt in which a good bailao
must be sung which accounts for Miss
Fulton’s success in this particular
branch of vaudeville eutertainment.
Ballads are always popular and cLui
topical, and in this respect differ even
from the more dignified compositions
that fall still far short of the grand
emanations of the masters, but just the
same the American audience of today
is very rhuch in love with ihe ballad
and its frequent ragtine melody.
The Geromes.
The representation of statuary
through poses of the human figure is
always pleasing entertainment when
well done. The Gerome brothers have
appeared for several years in this form
of amusement and their posing, which
is of the heroic type, always makes a
decided impression since the happen
to be fine types of physical manhood.
