Georgia. Girl is Author
Of “Abie’s Irish Rose."
Georgians who have seen “Abie’s
Irish Rose” claim a twofold interest
in the pfey’s success, on account of
the sudden rise to fame of the au
thor, who was formerly a Georgian.
A recent issue of the American mag
gives an interesting account
her career.
Anne Nichols was born and lived
childhood in Dale’s Mills, a
place near Jesup, where she
quoted as saying, ‘no self re-
GRIFFIN DATLY NEWS
specting trains ever stopped.” *Her
father was a lawyer and mother a
Philadelphian, and during the daugh
ter’s girlhood the family moved
north where the years were spent in
migrating from one place to anoth
er. Anne herself ran away from
school during the time her parents
were living in Philadelphia and de
termined upon a stage career. She
had no money, but an indomitable
faith in herself, believing any one
could be what they set out to be.
She tried moving pictures, vaude
ville and acting, but made little
headway until she conceived the
idea of composing the lines of her
skits in vaudeville. She immedi
ately found her bent and elaborated
upon this talent. She wrote seven
plays for one producer fitting her
plays to special actors for whom
the parts were built. It was some
time before 1922 «that she wrote
“Abie’s Irish Rose yy which she
claims took only eight days and sev
eral more for rewriting. From the
first, her faith in the merit of the
play was implicit and she set out to
make ft a success against the advice
of all who read it and against the
most drastic criticism. It played
some time in Los Angeles but was
not a success. Miss^fichols then
brought it to New York where it
suffered the worst possible criti
cism and would have failed entirely
had she not borrowed money and
pushed it through. Her persever
ance was rewarded and the merit
of her art recognized.—It has re
cently played for the thousandth
time in New York and has four real
companies.
Should Miss Nichols come back
to her native town so near us, no
doubt all Georgia trains would have
a new stop at Dale’s Mill near Jes

Third Grade, Fourth
Ward School,
Oct. 3, 1924.
Dear News & Sun:
We have just heard that our
names will be in the paper every
week. We think this will be fine.
If you are going to write about us
you might like to start at the be
ginning and let us tell you some
thing about ourselves.
In our, class there are 13 girls and
19 boys. Our teacher says she has
never seen a brighter and happier
crowd of little folks. She calls us
her little “slippers” because we are
going to get somewehre. This is
the story: “A boot, a shoe and a
slipper once lived on Cobbler's Row.
The boot and the shoe would have
nothing to do with the slipper be
cause she was so small and low.
But one day the king, the queen and
their daughter chanced to call on
the cobbler. As neither the boot nor
Monday, October 6, 1924.
we well know, through rain and
sunshine to school we will go,'
In our school there are two first
grades, two seconds and two thirds.
Mrs. Watt teaches the beginners,
Miss Bailey the advanced first grade
Miss Bryan- and Miss Stallworth
each teach U second grade and Miss
Hammond and Mrs. Johnson each a
third grade."
There is a beautiful spirit among
the teachers, who co-operate for
the harmony that exists.
The children in first grade are
having a good time dramatizing
their reading lessons and fairy sto
ries told them by their teacher.
_
Miss Bailey has had a great many
years of experience with primary
classes and the spontaneity of he
little pupils prove her success in
handling them.
Second grade A had one new pu
pil, Lillian Kelly, to enter this week.
In the oral arithmetic test Wed
neday, Jesse Murphy led the en
tire grade in rapid answering of
combinations.
The children of second grade B
were memorizing one of Robert
Louis Stevenson’s • poems, Their
teacher impressed upon them the
name of th* author, Just after
studying the y-'em, the music teacher
came in and as a preliminary re
mark to her " lesson held____up the
Horace Dann music book and asked
“Who wrote this book?” The an
swer promptly came from a little
fellow: ‘Robert Louis Stevenson.'
The third grade A has been busy
working out a Japanese project.
Cunning little Japanese dolls, fans
and lanterns have been made during
their drawing lessons, These, to
gether with a scene on the board of
a Japanese village, have proven
very inteersting to the pupils. Miss
Cumming has’ taught them the song,
a Yoskiko,” which they thoroughly
enjoy singing.
One day this week the third grade
B thoroughly enjoyed acting “Broth
er Fox’s Tar Baby” from tne Elson
reader.
Another day they had a drill in
arithmetic under the guise of a base
ball game, the attention of both girls
and boys was held and the lesson
was learned.
While talking to the children
about regular attendance, Miss
Hammond asked, “Do you remember
Mr. Simonton?” Leo Brookin replied,
“Yes’m, he’s still riding that bi
cycle.”
