i HIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. -rATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8. 1807. DO STUNTS BEFORE A BIGJUDIENCE Lions, Bears and All Kinds of Beasts Are Ex hibited. JEROME K. JEROME DISCUSSES HIS PLAY, “SYLVIA OF THE LETTERS’’ "We are not going to Rive the beet show Bret: we will etart alowly and gradually lead up to the beat we have." After the flrst performance Friday night the Immenae audience which had ' Mitered tn Boatock's Arena at Ponce DeLeon tn aee the trained animal ehow, took ndrantage of the lull In excite ment. drew a deep breath and wondered what Manager Boatock could yet have up hla sleeve. The show, which marked the opening of Boatock's winter aeaaon In Atlanta, was one of the moat thrilling exhibi tions of animal training that can be found on either aide of the pond, and Boatock's ahow has been on both aides. A few of the animals showed a disposi tion to be sullen and made strenuous objection to the commands of their trainers. This was due to the fact that ther had been kept In cages for several days, had not been made to perform any of their feats during that time and had not even gono through a rehearsal before they entered the arena. This fact lhade the work of the train ers even more dangerous Ihnn usual and the superb coolness and daring with which they faced, conquered and cowed the evil-tempered brutes was given deserved recognition by the au dlence, which freely applauded every hair-raising act. Varied Exhibition. The show Friday night consisted of exhibitions by M. Auguste and his group of lions, bears and boar hounds; Miss Ora Cecil and her daring perform ance with leopards, panthers and Jag uars; Master Jack Martino and his laughable performance -with living "Teddy-bears; Mata-IIarl. the Hindoo snake enchantress, and Tom Tallon, the youngest trainer In America and his group of lions. Both Miss Cecil and Mr. Tallon were compelled to contend with somewhat unruly animals and their skill and dar ing are worthy of special mention. The performance was witnessed by a number of prominent Atlantans. Among those who were present with members of their families were; Mayor Joyner, Alderman Peters. Burton Smith, Pres ton Arkwright, Judge Bloodworth. Nym McCullough, Arnold Broyles and a number of othera Harry E. Tudor, who was In charge of the show, opened the exhibition with a short address. In which he expressed the hope that the Initial performance would merit the appreciation and sup port, not only of those present, but the entire community. Manager Bostook Here, Manager Boatock did not arrive until near the end of the performance on acoount of a delayed train from Jack sonville. He appeared In the arena for a few moments, however, and ex pressed hts appreciation of the splendid reception given his gbow. The ap pearance of Manager Boatock was greeted with applause by the audience. The management of the show has adopted a unique method of advertis ing. A kite was sent high Into the air frum the Candler building Friday and after It attained a sufficient altitude a banner bearing the Inscription, "Bos- tock," was sent up the siring and It floating In the breaaes far above the Candler building throughout the day Manager Brady Will Play a Small Role. “In Ann Knickerbocker, heroine of ‘Syl via of tho Lettora,' I .have trlwl td make; MIm Grace..peorjr«» appear, Ul«i Colum bia personified." said Jerome K.

"You may have other business de manding your time on that date, and If I were asking you to my own tea party I am too modest to suggest other than that you go on and attend to It. But since this occasion takes on an aspect ot public and national character, I wish to assure you that It will hardly be worth while observing It unless you can come. “Mr. Graves goes to the largest post of Journalistic duty, to my notion, that any Southern man has ever been called to fill—leastwise he will make It so— and it Is to be desired that he go wltl^ the acclaim and godspeed of the repre sentative spirits of the South ringing strong In his ears. “This occasion Is not to be measured by the host, hts business, the guest or Ills old environments. (Jur progress nnd success depend upon the growth of our Southland. Mr. Graves goes to speak to millions for us. The occasion of Ills going should then he measured by the significance of the call of thlB man to represent ua. And so on November 8 those whom he shall represent most will gather to give him the message to carry for them. "Among the chosen will be many scribes and other newspaper workers— some Judges, many lawyers and—most motley—a few politicians and preach era. Many merchants and other honest men will be there, but we will try to make you perfectly comfortable. "Other Instructions will be found on the bill of fare. "Please write at once that you ore omlng.

Trouble In large chunks Is brewing for those corporations doing business In Atlanta and Fulton county and which have not compiled with the law regarding the payment of the tax re qulred for doing business In this state.

There are about two hundred such corporations on the list and double tax ation. Indictment and prosecution for doing business In tills state without paying a license are among the things that are going to cause the distress flag to be flying within the next few days. It Is said that several whisky dealers are among those who have not paid the tax, and their delay Is supposed to be due to the fact that prohibition is near at hand. According to Mr, Stew art the tax ot $300 muat be paid If only one day's business Is done. Notice After Notice. "I have eent notice after notice to these corporations," said Tax Collec tor Stewart Saturday, "and they have not taken me serioualy. I regret to have to go to the grand Jury with It, but It la the law and there la nothing else to do about It. The tax should have been paid by January 10. or as soon as the corporation began doing business. "If. however, the tax la paid before the grand Jury meets I am disposed to be lenient and nothing further will be said about It. Otherwise, there la only one course to pursue."
