THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, MONDAY, DECEMBER 3. 19* “SAP HO IS NO7 IMMORAL 5/1YS OLGA NETHERSOLE IN CHA1 TING ABOUI HER PLA Y\ THE ART OF COOKING Free Lecture and Practical Demonstration Begins Tomorrow, Tuesday, and Continues Every Day This Week, By Professor Joseph Becker, One of the World’s GREATEST Chefs. ' MISS OLGA NETHUR80LE, Mill Nether,ole will preiint her two leading plays, “Adrienne Lecou- vreur” and "Sapho” in Atlanta. 8he ia eoniidered the foremost expo nent of the realiatie emotional aohool of acting in America. The ladies’ Opportunity to Acquire Valuable Knowledge. By SELENE ARMSTRONG. "It la too bad that I have kept you waiting," and there was the very Olga Netheraole at thought of whom you had alwaya felt the aame little thrill of fear and admiration. So cordial la her handahake and ao graoloua her manner, that one quite forgeta when In her preaence, the terrifying qualltlea of genlua. And to apend an hour there In the little parlor of her car, "Netheraole," chatting with her qbout “Adrienne Lecouvreur,” “Sapho," about men, women and thlnga la aufflcient to convince one that Olga Netheraole poaeeaaea in pre-eminent degree the first requialte of great art—sincerity. "Why did I choose to play ‘Adrienne Lecouvreur’ and '8apho‘ in Atlanta?” naked Miss Netheraole. "Well, I wish to give ‘Adrienne’ because for sheer beauty there Is nothing In my reper toire which surpasses, or perhaps equals It. Even I am aatiafled with the costumes, and that, my comp would tell you. means a great deal, I am not easily pleased. Each costume haa been copied with painstaking care from those of ‘Adrienne's’ century which may be seen on great canvases there In the Luxembourg, and the staging of the play Is perfect." Sapho Not Immoral. “You ask If I had any especial rea son for deciding to give Sapho In At lanta. X always play It If I am to re main In a city for only two or three engagements. You see. In it I have the opportunity to present every phase of my art—comedy, tragedy, poetry and realism. ’Sapho,' Indeed, runs the gamut of human experience, and Is as comprehensive as all the rest of my repertoire. “No, ‘Sapho* Is not Immoral. As a play, It Is justified not so much by great art, as by the great moral which It teaohes. Those who condemn It so violently are those who Judge It by the first and second acts, whereas It la only the play as a whole which can be taken Into account.” Referring to her sensational trial some five years ago In the courts of New York, and the effort then made to suppress “Sapho," Miss Netheraole declared that the case was brought about by the frantic methods of yel low journalism. When the advertls- Ing, value of such a trial was flippantly suggested to her, she replied, with en ergy, “No, nothing could justify It. I was cruelly wronged. And, remember, my dear, that a wrong does not make a right." Discusses Her Art, Some writer has said that a passion ate attachment to her work gives Olga Nethersole an Intensity which Is "per sonal and religious," a comment which Is understood when she speaks of her art. It is at once her life and her religion, i “As you remarked," said she, “the critics seem fond of saying that Madame Bernhardt Is the high priest ess of Idealism, and Olga Nethersole of realism. Why do I believe In the latter above the Yormor? Because I believe with all my heart, that truth la greater than beauty; that to por tray life as It Is teaches more than to portray life as we Idealise It. Be cause Sapho shows the evil as well as the good of life. It shows, must show that? good Is to be chosen above evil. Hair the painter a moral right to por tray only that part of a scene which Is fair to the eye? No. I believe that the most vital art Is that which takes cognisance of evil as well as good, In order to teach the better way." “Before you say goodbye, I must tell you that my friends In England and on the continent are good enough to say they feel grateful to Georgia, following my trial In New York over est friends. I charming simplicity of Is one of those who becom even though we meet pass In the night. Nothing to equal this exhibit has ever been attempted before in Atlan- ’ ta.

Y. Tupper. This representation will be w hat Is know n as a "second agency." the first agency remaining with J. Dickey, Jr., who has for some time had the company on a single agency basis. Mr. J. 8. Daniel, the formerly well- known local agent of Atlanta, who sold Ills agency some time ago to become ■ pedal agent of the German of Free port In Georgia and the Carolina,, has since the retirement of the latter com pany last week, returned to Atlanta and will act as an ltylei*>ndent adjuster until the conclusion of other arrunge- The Insurance Field, of Louisville. In Its Issue of this week eays: Georgia I* In etrlklng need of a etate Insurance department. The necessity haa been apparent for many yean paat, but la even more bo at preaent. There are Indications that the In,urance agent* and managara all over the etate will thl, fall begin-an active campalgi for the establishment by the next lefts, latura of a separate division of the state government to handle this Impor tant branch of supervision, and the matter la being earnestly dlacui Atlanta, where moet of the head of the companlea doing business In the state are located. No criticism whatever attache, to Comptroller Gen eral William A. Wright In this connec tion. For many year, he has held of. flee without reproach and conscien tiously fulfilled his duties according to the strict Interpretation of the Geor gia Insurance laws. Hi, Authority Llmitod. Tho comptroller general Is, however, merely ex-officio Insurance commis sioner, and under the state statute, hi, powers regarding companies In the state are very limited. Although he hae full authority * over corporations chartered by the state, he can go no further and may not question the right of any outside company to do business In the state, no matter what It* meth ods, as long as It la able to eatlsfy him concerning It, financial solvency by means of sworn statements. The comp troller himself has In recent Inter view, with Insurance men told them plainly that hit authority 1^ so re stricted that If ha were actually to know that a foreign company of uny kind was doing business under mis leading promises or false representa tions, he would be legally unable to ■ton It a, long as It was actually finan cially solvent, according to Its own showing. In consequence, Georgia Is rapidly becoming tbe dumping ground of many companies of questionable reputation, whose sphere of activity has been narrowed by expulsion from other states on account of methods and results to policyholder*. It Is regarded by reputable life and fire Insurance agents as most deplorable that the laws of Georgia do not give better pro tection to Insurers throughout the state, as wel las to tho beat claas of insur ance Interests. ■While no Insurance men or compa nies favor In the least the inquisitorial authority nWhumed by many Insurance commissioners In the present unsettled conditions both in fire and life In surance, the movement In Georgia for an active and authoritative supervision will meet with the favor of all. Mr. WrlghL hlmielf, would bo an excellent man for tho position, and he has no one but friends In the business, but his hands hava been tied for years by In- methods of conduct of the life Insur ance business, particularly such as anti-rebate and antl-dlscrlmlnatlon acts. It rests principally with the In surance agents of tho state themselves whether such a movement as has been started for better conditions In Geor gia will bo successful. menls, which he now haa pending. The well-known wrecking firm of Samuel Gans A Co. will shortly open a store and tale,room In Atlanta for the disposition of salvages from fires of which the company handles a large number In Southern territory. Atlanta lias for some time beensthe headquar ters of a branch managed by Mr. 8. It. Hendrickson and the work In this field has grown to such an extent that the St. Louis office ha, been discontinued and Mr. Ike Small, the company’s rep resentative at the city, has been trans ferred to Atlanta to take charge of the salesrooms.
