SHERLOCK HOLMES MATCHES HIS WITS
AGAINST SLEUTHS OF SCOTLAND YARD
"I defy you to arrest her," calmly
declared Mr. Sherlock Holmes, ns he
placed his arm around Miss Marston.
"You have badly bungled this Job,
Inspector," he continued, “and I will
match my wits against all the detec
tives of. Scotland Yard."
Ho did, too. And of courts he mads
the plain-clothes cops of the official
force look Ilka graduates from a de
tective correspondence school.
All this happened at the Orpheum
Wednesday night. It has happened
there every night since Monday, In
cluding matinees Monday and Wednes
day, and each time Mr. Sherlock
Holmes has received the plaudits of
packed houses. 1
Ho deserved the plaudits, and Man
ager L. E. ConneBs deserved the packed
houses.
What live, hustling Atlantan lives
there who Is not Interested In Sher
lock Holmes, of 222 Baker-st., and the
singular problems confronting this
[great criminal Investigator?
How many are there hors who are
not interested when the famous friend
of Dr. Watson reads from signs on the
carpet the movements of the strange,
wooden-legged man, Jonathan Small?
Or when Holmes reads the life his
tory of a dead man from the Inside of a
watch case?
Of-course It Is Interesting, even tho
It only costs 10, 20 and 20 cents. And
It Is all the more Interesting when
"The Sign of the Four" is presented

AMUSEMENTS
At the Atlanta.
It has been said that in "The Dawn
of a Tomorrow,”’which comes to the
Atlanta • Thursday, Friday and Satur
day, with Miss Isabelle Lowe In the
character of Glad, a street waif, Mrs.
Frances Hodgson Burnett has written
an argument for Christian Science.
Such a statement, however. Is unfound,
fd. Glad Is an optimist who would
be haled with delight by all manner
of men If she existed In real life, for
'he is a ruthless enemy of pessimism
in every form, and her doctrine really
discounts the famous "every cloud has
a sliver lining.’’ This Is a doctrine
which was old when mankind was
young, and the pity* of It Is that.lt Is
so seldom preached. The play tells
the etory of how "Glad” of the slums
crossed tho path of a despondent, Sir
Oliver Holt, like an angel from Heav
en. Sir Oliver has gone to the quar
ters of lowly London, disguised as an
outcast and determined to end his life,
for a conference of physicians has pro
nounced his doom. In the bedraggled
all t
section of the town are seen
the
Mrs. Burnett does not hurl scarlet
women at her audience, nor does she
put curses or foul speech Into the
mouths of the men. There Is nothing
to Jar ona In the picture of the lower
classes. Instead, there Is Glad, with
her sincere belief in a something that
will triumph over despair and evil, and
Sir Oliver catches the fever and drives
the little demon of depression away, to
win out against the doleful predic
tions of men of medicine and find his
way back to life, again. Incidentally,
Glad helps her sweetheart. Dandy, to
clear himself of the charge of murder,
and all ends well.
At the Grand.
Peplto Arriola, boy pianist at the
Grand Saturday, seems to possess a
dual personality, the one that domi
nates him In his every-day life and the
other which takes possession of him
when seated at the piano, playing the
compositions of the old masters and
Interpreting them as can be imagined
they would be rendered by the composer
himself.
His every-day life 1s that of any
normal, healthy boy of his age—bub
bllng over with boyish spirits and al
ways ready to participate in some
youthful pastime. He Is especially
fond of baseball and, attending a game,
will eonverse upon the fine points of
play and wiy root for his favorite with
as much enthusiasm as any "young
American” who has played on the cor
ner lots ever since ha was big enough
to own a glove. He plays marbles, rides
horseback and can give a good argu
ment to the average tennis player, and
while visiting with friends In Denver
last spring became very much interest
ed In the English game of cricket and
was frequently a visitor on the grounds,
practicing and learning the game.
Feplto especially should be heard by
all students, whether musically Inclined
or not. He is an inspiration for them
and demonstrates what can be accom
plished.

At the Forsyth.
Linden Beckwith, the singer at the
Forsyth this week, has scored one of the
greatest hits that has been registered by
a vocalist here In vaudeville. Miss Beck
with is one of the feature acts of the
splendid bill at the busy Forsyth, and
because of a charming personality and a
splendid selection of song numbers has
become a real favorite. Miss Beckwith

G DESK $10
w
ITHOUT the shadow of a doubt, we are offering beautiful and
ornamental WRITING DESKS at a prioe that makes them the
greatest values In Atlanta.
As XMAS GIFTS they are Ideal—and will be Just the
thing to give to a lady or a professional man. These writing
desks come In MAHOGANY or OAK—and are the self-same
desks that the HIGH RENT stores sell
at *20—but BAUKNIGHT’S price is
only 210.
How do we do It? Let us explain!
In the first place, we closed out all the
factory had on hand and we therefore
got them way below price—and In the
second place, we are NOT burdened
with a big rent as are the stores In the
HIGH RENT district, which In itself
enables us to sell at much lower prices.
YOU CAN BUY ANYTHING IN
OUR STORE. ON DIVIDED PAY
MENTS. IF YOU WISH.
He Wants a Morris Chair for Xmas!
Almost any man will be delighted with one of our MORRIS
CHAIRS. They are so genuinely restful—as comfortable as a
lounge. And they’re an ornament to any room. No
home is completely furnished if there’s np MORRIS
CHAIR.
We have MORRIS CHAIRS from $9 to $25, in
Mahogany or Polished Oak. Chaso leather
or velour cushions.
The prices are way below what other
stores ask for them—but, you know, wo
are NOT in the HIGH RENT • district.
That MORRIS CHAIR which we sell at $9
is exactly tho snme as they ask $12.§0 for
in the HIGH RENT district.
There’s no more appropriate
Xmas gift than a nice RUG. We
are considered the best house In
Atlanta to buy Rugs at—because
we have an Immense variety and
sell from 10 per cent to 20 per cent cheaper than
the HIGH RENT stores.
