AT THE THEATERS Vaudavilla at the Casino. Have you seen Ameta, In her robes of'Are. her biaxe of rainbow lights? She Is worth going all the way to Ponce DeLeon to see, even If there were no other attraction on the bill. Ameta surprised an audience at the Casino Monday night. There have been mirror dancers and Are dancers and serpentine dancers galore In At lanta vaudeville, but Ameta Is some thing new. Better take a trolley to night and eefe her dance. Very fair vaudeville In this week's bill. Rice and Elmer do some first- class stunts on the hopsontal bars. Howell and 8cott have a Hebrew com edy turn that It modeled more after David Warfield's Jewish Interpretations than the average Hebrew knock-about turn. Some of their work la really clever. Bartlett. Gorman and Bartlett have a comedy sketch In which the singing of one of the trio la rather good. Did you see "The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast" last season at the Grand? Harry DeVIne was the ring leader of the comedy, and Bella Wil liams was the prlncers beauty. Neither lived up to their roles In that produc tion. but they are doing a very clever comedy sketch at the Casino. There's another turn. He comes In under the head of "Moving Pictures," and seems to be traveling Incognito. He Is Wise. During the ten minutes apent In carving pictures out of paper and sticking them on a colored back ground. the audience umused Itself ; wondering how he got past the stugc door and what was his excuse for drawing a salary. But he didn't stay on long. There are performances all this week, with matinees on Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday. "East Lynne" at Grand. The presentation of "East Lynne"tat the Grand Monday night marked the beginning of the end of thA engage ment of the George Fawcett Stock Company In Atlanta. The very fact that "Bast Lynne” was the play was indication enough dnd proof positive that It was the Inst week of the engagement. Miss Wheatley, as Madame Vine; Regan Hughslon, as Archibald Carlyle, and DeWIlt Jen nings, as Sir Francis Levlson, had the •Important roles of the play and took splendid care of them. To Miss Phyllis Sherwood, as Joyce, fell the Important duty of relieving the strain of pathos and tragedy that runs consecutively through Ave acts, and she succeeded nobly. This Is the tenth and last week of the summer engagement of the com pany. The company collsctlvely and the members Individually have shown a merit and ability far away and above that of the average stock company, and It Is with genuine regret that the the ater-going public see them leave. “East Lynne" will be on the entlri? Week, with the usual matinees. BELL'S AUTO BILL APPROVED BY CLUB Woul dRequire Carefulness On Part of Owners and Chauffeurs. Pastlms Theater. If the audiences which attended the opening performances of the week af the Pastime Theater, on Peachtree street, are to be the standards of at tendance, this popular home of vaude ville la to break the summer record. Miss Etbel Mas Ruby, the singing and whistling soubrette, proved her right to the- distinction of top-liner. Harrison, West and Harrison, featur ing Master Petite, the toy comedian, followed In a sketch that was delight ful. ‘ The work of Illgley, composed of Earl Hlfley and his brother, Harry, srfca above the ordinary. Miss Annete Btlnburne In a reper toire of Illustrated songs, with new slides, received an oration. Ills Bnnw In a aeries of new songs and fancy An automobile bill, even more dras tic than any previously Introduced In the legislature, and one that apparent ly provides every practical precaution that Is possible for the protection of pedestrians and animals on the high ways and roads of the state, has been offered In the house by Hon. Madison Bell, of Fulton, and Is now spending before the general ^officiary commit tee. The bill Is pre-eminently a state measure, providing for state regulation of the aulmoblles, the granting of state lenreses and thus Insuring the same restrictions all over the state. It meeta with the hearty Indorsement of the Atlanta Automobile and Good Roads Club, and seems to have the approval of the automobile owners of the state generally. In the Arst place, the bill Is more dr Anile than any bill yet presented, the principal and most commendabl * ture being that It Is a state blit. It provides for a tag In front as welt as In the rear, thus giving those who may be Insured or whose property may be damaged by a careless driver a bet ter opportunity of learning the number and driver of the machine. It provides for one set of tags and only one, these to have only the state numbers. In other words, nn auto mobile owner or driver can not cause confusion by having the tags of other states on his machine, as some do now. The drivers pf machines who are not owners, and who, therefore, have little responsibility and oftentimes small care In handling machines, must wear bodges to be provided by the state. Penalties are provided where persons wearing such badges violate any -'re visions of this act. No intoxicated person and no person under 18 years of age shall be allowed to operate an automobile. The license to he Issued by the state shall cost 83, Instead of the fee of It exacted now. Only one kind ol horn—the "honk, honk" kind—can be used on automo biles. A maximum speed of 20 miles an hour Is Axed. The game maximum shall be enforced In all countlea and cities. \ Every automobile driver shall stop his machine when signaled to do so by Ihe rider or driver of a restive horse, mule or other domestic animal. The An« for an Intoxicated person driving an automobile shall be not gienter than 8100. For violation of any. of the other provisions of this act, the Ane shall be not less than 810. For subsequent offenses the Anea are great- The bill seems to combine all the commendable features of other bills, and to eliminate the features that are objectionable to both sides, and It will probably be adopted by the general assembly.

OLD DEKALB WAS PIONEER IN PR OHIB17 ION MO VEMEN 7 ASKED FOR 7HE LAW7N 1882 Judge H. H. Walker Was Foreman of Grand Jury. Perhaps the pioneer movement for state prohibition in Georgia was In augurated by the grand Jury of De- Kalb county In Ha presentments at a special session of the September term, 1882. That grand Jury had as Its foreman Judge Henry H. Walker, who Is still living at the advanced age of 84 yean In Norcroas. The presentments of that grand jury were published In The De- Kalb News, edited by Ernest N. Word. A copy of The News has been furnished The Georgian. After calling attontlon to county matters, the presentments closs with ths following; "We can not close this report and pass unnoticed the baneful effects of intemperance and drunkenness that >revall to an alarming extent In near- y every community where retail liq uor shops are permitted to exist. The effectn on ths county where situated, iwlng out of this unnecessary traf- and sale of liquors, are but too well known to need recital by this body, and demands very serious considera tion. Grand Jury’s Report. The evidences of evil are *o nu merous that we are at a loss how to enumerate them. These whisky shops are both a private and public nuisance and a Pandora's box In every com munity where situated: affording op portunity and encouraging drunken ness; spreading this bsastly habit and contagion; widening Its bitter streams with its damning and withering Influ ences upon every phase of society. Invading even the home of the pious and good; Instigating the commission of crime'; corrupting the ballot box demoralising the youths of the county Increasing the burden of taxes; tilling the criminal dockets of our courts with the charges of crime and tilling our jails and chalngangs with Us victims. “This awful malady of human de< structlon marches on with dagger In hand, leaving Its crimson stain upon our records and blackening the history of our county. Producing Its woes and tnlssry with the orphans' cry and wld ows’ wall Inscribed upon Its banners beggary, want and bankruptcy follow Ing In the wake of Its dark chasm of crime, human wos and misery. “As the records of our criminal courts abundantly show, neither age nor sex are exempt from Its ravages. Thera Is, In our opinion, no other agent so potent In ths hands of his Satanic Ma jesty, the Dsvll, for the destruction of human family aa thla evil; fastening and dooml ment for their graves.

Nefarious Traffic. “Thla authority to sell la obtained under the guise of public necessity for sale for chemical and medicinal use. We are at a loee to aee the wisdom of a policy for the state of Georgia, or the United Htntes, to take auch a step backwards In thla miserable, humlllat Ing echeme or policy In order to In create revenues by peddling out prlvi leges for Its tale, knowing beforehand the curse and evil that la certain to re sult from thla nefarious business and truffle. "We might ask with what dagree of honesty or consistency can our legis lature enact a law to punish a crime that It has sold a license to commit? We feel that It le our Imperative duty as wall as that of all good cltlxens to redress thla tide of evil and woe, which Is growing and fastening Its fangs of destruction In Ita victims, to be loosed only In death. We. therefore, respectfully recom mend and urge our representatives to the general assembly to procure the passage of an act making It unlawful to grant license to retail or tell liquor In DeKalb county or the state, only upon the concurring recommendations of two grand Juries at two successive terms of the superior court, and we call upon all good cltlxens of our county tc aid In the enactment of such law, and we declare that wo will not support or advocate the election of any man to the legislature from this county who will not use his utmost power to procure this relief for his people and country."

In speaking of this pioneer mova- raant, Judge Walker recently said: “a Legalised Evil.” "It was both unwise and unconstltu tional for the legislature of Georgia to organise and legalise an evil to curse the people of the state. Our general presentment In Do Kalb was In the na ture of an Indictment of the general as sembly for licensing bar rooms to invite the commission of crime, and then laws to punish the crime Itself. "Th- action of the legislature of 1907 In rising In their majesty and throwing off the yoko of oppression from the peo ple will go down In history along with the faun- of the Immortal founder of American Independence. "The DeKalb grand Jury of 1882 sow sd the seed that has ripened to full fruitage In this good year. Georgia will be the first of the Southern states to threw off this curse, and her action will And quick emulation In other states." DIES OF HEART FAILURE AT HOME IN BERKELY. Special to The Georgian.
