Patrons of the Athens Theatre have in store a rare treat during the a.p- proaching week. Managers Lovick and Taylor -have secured the' Southern Beauty Musical Company for an entire week's, engagement. This company is- composed' of ten people, mostly girls, and bears the enviable reputation of being the best musical comedy ag gregation on the road this season. The company , played, in Atlanta a few weeks ago and the following item' regarding their work is taken from the Atlanta Footlight: 'One of the best known tabloid musical comedy companies playing the Southern territory is the Southern beauties. .This company holds the dis tinction of having .played twnty-two weeks under, the, management of the United Booking Offices, arid have con tacts on hand which will keep them busy for a, long time to come. Mr. Bernard Tassel! is " producing manager of this .company, ' and unlike mos,t companies of this kind, he does not depend , on 'the usual nigger acts," ,but is playing all, scYipt plays. Miss Hazel Young, the "star ; and leading lady with the company,;, is;, pretty, graceful, v and, judging from the local press reports on the show, she became s popular soon after thV opening ' of the Southern Beauty Company in any theatre.vlt is Compan ies like this that will do the great things raising the .' standard of popular priced houses. ' The day of horse play, and suggestive lines is past,- and the public demands more ahd more -talent every day, and only such ability as this company possesses, together with hard, conscientious work on the part of every member of -the cast, can appease them. It may be said of this company that they never attempt bill which every member is not thoroughly up in, and for this reason they not only give satis faction to the public, but greatly assist the management of the house in which they are playing to build up a reputa tion, which, in the last analysis, is the only true asset a theatre possesses. "The, managers of i the Athens have not had vaudeville acts' attheirtheatre during" the summer months,; but from now' on their patrons may rest assured that they, will have an Opportunity of eeing sone of the best and highest priced racts which can be secured.
