THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, NOVHWB8R *. 3 A THOUSAND DOLLARS WHY WE DO THIS. . A newspaper with a subscription list the else of The Georgian and News spends a great deal of time and money each year collecting and re newing Its subscriptions. Experience has shown that the use of special prizes and the employment of experts to do this work Is a wise Investment from a business standpoint. We simply contract with an expert who knows the management of these things as the engineer knows his engine. We have taken a special office in the Austell building, room 821, In which to conduct the work; a large force of assistants will conduct the contest and personally visit alntost every home in Georgia. The Georgian and News Is mainly a Georgia paper—It goes some to other states, but not nearly so much as other papers do. We do not try to get circulation much outside of Georgia We are making It a home v paper. This opportunity Is superior to most similar ones given here before, because the wealth of prises which have seldom been equaled are to be divided to Atlanta and Georgia alone. As we have told our readers, the advertiser, who pays three times as much toward the expense of newspapers as the reader pays, needs large circulations to bring him customers. So newspapers can afford to give these Inducements from time to time for the benefits they bring their advertisers. The Georgian Is going to 30,000 homes now, and we ex pect to add from five to ten thousand more before this contest ends in February. These so-called prizes are genuine and will be exhibited In prominent places soon. The Georgian does not simply give them awav— for we get much In return—but the one who wins the prize need'make no outlay, but simply ask her friends to'take The Georgian and use the votes this gives for her benefit. -to be given away in the Georgian’s Sub scription Contest~the money is in gold--the Automobiles cost $2,000 and $650 respectively. There are 94 Prizes to be given away—among which are $1,000 in Gold; one $2,000 Automobile, one $650 Runabout, twenty trips to Cuba, twenty Dixie Business College Scholarships—stenographic or commercial—five Musical Scholarships at Klindworth Conservatory of Music, covering 36 weeks, five complete Scholarships in Cox College, College Park, fifteen Solitaire Diamonds, to be seen at Schaull & May’s, and fifteen Gold Watches, to be seen at Crankshaw’s, ten Kingsbury Upright Pianos, $350 each, from Cable Piano Co., and one Grand Piano.

THE BIJOU—Moaday night, ’’The County Chairman.” THE ORPHEUM—Monday night, high- data vaudeville. BOSTOCK AS noon, animal ahow at Ponce “A Doll’s House” at Grand. What Is the relation of woman as an Individual to human society whole? What Is the right of tho wife In the affaire of the husband? Must a woman- look to thewabrktng opr of her own soul’s salvation .first, or must her all be given to her husband and her children? These-are srtme of the vital Importance raised bV Hen sen’s domestic drama, *A Doll’s House,” In which Miss Florence DaVIs will'be seen nt the Grand Monday night and Tuesday matinee and-night. It Is a play with a lesson,- and yet It Is not "preaehy.” Ibsen has cut a cross-section from life Itself, and tho audience looks In upon the family of Torvald and Nora and forgets j It Is only aqtlng It Is seeing. - It la a story that goes straight to the heart, a' drama that appeals to all ages and all classes, and It It admittedly one of the masterpieces of modem dramas. Miss Florence Davis, as Nora, Is the central character. In the play she faces all these questions, and faces them when they demand an Immediate answer. She answers them as her woman’s intuition tells her that they must be answered, and. though It brings a gTuat stirrow, yet. one knows and feels that out of the ashes of her disappointment this little woman has conquered and has brought the light bf a great undertaking to her self-satis fied husband, who believes, himself In fallible. “The County Chairman,” George Ade'a sparkling cothedy, "The County Chairman," will be the week’s offering at the Bijou. 'Jhtls pictorial comedy possesses the same charm and refreshing simplicity that has mad# the author’s works noteworthy In the past.

He.han succeeded In pre serving all the real human nature and heart Interest that belong essentially to a rural play. “Th* Lightning Conductor.” It will he quite apropos for ail owners ,of motor cars to drive In them to the Grand Wednesday and Thanks giving, when Oscar Flgman will ap pear In "The Lightning Conductor,” at adaptation by Han-y B. Smith from the novel of the same name by C. N. and A. M. Williamson. The play denis di rectly with Ihe strange adventures of motor car, and the first act will show monster car being driven at the rate of 60 miles an hour, with a panorama of flying scenery, dust flying and wind blowing. It will prove a thriller for all devotees of the "gasoline bubble.” The cast Includes such well-known artists as Justlna Wayne. Edith Ber wyn, E. Fernandez.
