Mr. Buck Weds Miss Wheeler
Miss Carrie Peyton Wheeler, young
est daughter of the late General Jo

Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’clock to Mr.
Gordon Montgomery Buck, of New
York, at Wheeler, Ala., the country
home of the bride’s family. The wed
ding was very quiet, only a few guests
being Invited to witness the ceremony.
There Is more than the ordinary sen
timental Interest felt throughout the
South In the marriage of Miss Wheel
er to Mr. Buck. Ah the daughter of
one of the South's greatest fighters,
and the most celebrated cavalry lead
er in the Confederate army, Mis*
Wheeler has been essentially a notable i
factor In the best social life of the
country. That she should return to
her old Alabama home and to that sec
tion of Alabama which for so many
years signally honored her father po
litically, to be married amid the scenes
of her childhood, Is peculiarly appro
priate, and Is also especially gratifying
to Southerners at large.
Mr. Buck, although living for years
In New York, Is a Southerner. He is
a young lawyer, and was graduated
from the University of Virginia in
1894.
Mr. and Mrs. Buck will reside In an

Tuesday morning at the Piedmont
hotel was held the first annual meet
ing of the Women's Organization of
the National Association Retail Drug
gists. The crowded assembly hall,
and the enthusiasm manifested, were
Indicative of the amazing growth of
the auxiliary, which at the youthful
age of on4 year la a well organized
body, meeting a distinct need among
the retail druggists of America.
The session was opened with an in
vocation by Rev. E. D. Purser. Fol
lowing this Mrs. Sam D. Jones extend
ed to the visiting ladles a greeting of
welcome. Mrs. Jones spoke gracefully
of the mission of a woman's organiza
tion, and incidentally and with some
gentle humor of the mission In a world
of aches, of the retail druggist. At the
conclusion of her talk she presented to
the president of the organization, Mrs.
Emma Gary Wallace, a magnificent
bouquet of yard-grown roses.
In a few well chosen words Mrs.
Wallace responded for the organiza
tion to Mrs. Jones' greeting, paying a
pretty tribute to Georgia and to Geor
gia hospitality.
An address w'aa made by Mr. T. V.
Wooten, of Chicago, secretary of the
national association. He told Inter
estingly of the growth of the associa
tion of druggists from a membership
of 100 to a membership of 40,000, and
he prophesied the same phenomenal
increase In the women’s organization.
An Interesting fact, stated by Mr.
Wooten, was that the association of
druggists grew out of & meeting called
some years ago Jn St. Louis, for the
purpose of protesting against the tax
ation laid on retail drugs during the
Spanlsh-Amerlcan war.
It was not until the address of Mrs.
Wallace, the president, that the alms
of the women's organization were made
clearly known to those In the audience
who were not members of the associa
tion. Mrs. Wallace stated that the
purpose of the organization Is to pro
mote good feeling and a closer sym
pathy among the families of this vast
body of retail druggists.
She spoke of the strenuous condi
tions which now' govern the retail
trade, of the incompetency of labor
and the fierce .competition which de
mand the constant attention of the
druggist, and that he foregoes to a
large extent every social pleasure. In
this Isolation his family necessarily
shares. Believing In the necessity of
some organization which would pro
mote the brotherhood and sls'terhood
of the profession, bringing the co
workers Into closer touch, the Wom
an’s Auxiliary organized In Boston with
a small membership. This was little
over a year ago, and local chapters
now exist In the large cities and in
scores of small towns.
Mrs. Wallace spoke with ease and
fluency, her delightful voice adding
to the enjoyment of her listeners.
An Interesting feature of the meet
ing was the reports made by Mrs. I.
M. Light, president of the Chicago
chapter, and Mrs. Adelaide M. God
ding,’ president of the Boston chapter.
These ^reports, besides showing what
specific work the Chicago and Boston
chapters are accomplishing, gave a
concise Idea of the general lines along
which each chapter Is conducted.
The second and last session of the
convention will be held In the assembly
room at the Piedmont Wednesday
morning at 10 o’clock.
The program will be as follows:
Call to order.
Report of committee on credentials.
Address—Mr. B. E. Pritchard, Mc

THE THEATERS
"Not Yst But 8oon,"
Hap Ward and his bunch are all to
the good. That was the verdict at the
Bijou Monday night. Ward Is good,
Lucy Daly Is better, and Fred Wykoff
Is the limit, and then some. They all
got the glad hand on their first appear
ance, and then at rapid Intervals dur
ing the performance, which the man
agers call a "komedy kackle in two
lays.”
Fred Wykoff Is the famous rube of
The Telephone Girl,” and afterwards
with the "Busy Izzy” combinations,
and he Is the same rube now—but with
many new Jokes and n fresh make-up.
The best thing he did Monday night
was his old-time favorite, "Down On
the Farm." and it brought recall after
recall. He was easily the feature of
the bill. a
Lucy Daly is not the Lucy of yore.
She dons an even more grotesque
make-up than her companion, Mar
garet Daly* Vokes, ever dared, but she
gets away with It. Her dancing re
calls the Lucy of other days, however.
one ever forgot one of those Daly
dances.
Hap Ward Is the same old Hap, but
he doesn’t seem at home without
Vokes. He doesn’t have the opporunlty
without his foil, hut he makes the best
what he has.
But there are others. John C. Hart
the dope fiend, does a bit worth go
ing a mile to see. There are swarms of
pretty girls—as chorus girls go—so
many costumes that It must keep them
changing In the wings, nnd songs ga
lore. Few better productions will be
pen nt the Bijou this season.

All his plays are hits. All his songs
have found their way Into nearly every
home In America, which It Is variously
estimated that his Income from his
various partnerships, royalties^ etc.,
amount to over, one hundred thousand
a year. Mr. Cohan never went to
school but ten weeks in his life and
has been on the stage ever since he
was five years of age.
”1 hate to talk about myself.’’ re
cently remarked Mr. Cohan in an In
terview, "but I honestly think I did a
whole lot of good for musical comedy
when I wrote nnd produced ’Little
Johnny Jones.' It was the first Ameri
can-made song play that really told
story and wlffch did not allow the mu
sical interruptions to smother the plot.
Then 1 wrote and produced ’Forty-five
Minutes From Broadway,’ and the so-
called ’wise ones’ who witnessed the
rehearsals questioned my right to be
running about without a keeper,
seemed almost Impossible to convince
any member of the theatrical profes
sion that heart interest would blend
with music. The wild thought of 1
dramatic situation In this style of en
tertatnment was absolutely ridiculous
to the crowd.
"But one criticism was offered by
all who had even an Inkling ns to what
the play urns like: ’You'll have to make
It a straight melodrama or get rid of
the pathos and have a musical com
edy.’ I was true, however, to my orig
inal Idea, musical melodrama, and so
today we have them with railroad
wrecks, bank robberies and automobile
races. In fact, all the effects that were
ever used in the modern drama are
now being resurrected and wedded to
musical ensemble."
"Forty-five Minutes From Broad
way” will be seen nt the Grand Tues
day night nnd Wednesday matinee and
night.
"The Heir to the Hoorah."
Coming events cast their shadows
before, nnd all the poster fiends In the
town have been noting the shadow of
the extended wings of the baby-hear
ing stork which advertises "The Heir
to the Hoorah,” at the Grand Thursday
night. The shadows of the stork’s
wings apparently extended over the
happy home of Frank Monroe, stftge
manager of "The Heir to the Hoorah”
mipany, while the company was play
ing at the Academy of Music, New
York, for a lusty boy, slightly exceed
ing the conventional ten pounds weight,
aine to the Monroe household In the
early hour* of Sunday morning. Miss
Beecher, Miss Lackaye and Miss Dal
ton, of the company, disputed the
honor of being god-mother to the
baby, while Guy Bates Bost, Ben Hig
gins and Ernest Lnmson have, carrying
out the sentiment of Mr. Armstrong’s
comedy, already nominated themselves
a committee for providing the Infant
with a suitable birth gift. Theater
goers who have laughed at "The Heir
the Hoorah" will understand that I
these excited gentlemen are, to use the
vernacular of the pavement, "up
against It” If they live up to the char
acters they play upon the stage In
regard to that same birth gift. In the
play Mr. Armstrong makes Bud Young,
Dnve Lacy, Winthrop ami K^elly ex
claim In quick succession when the
announcement of Joe.’s boy is made
"Give him a spoon? Hell!
"Give him a mine!”
"Stake him to a ranch!”
"We’ll show him that we’re n<
pikers!"
The Monroe baby has surely aurlfer
ous expectations from Its father’:
friends and fellow players.
