IN COMPLIMENT TO MISS HUFF.
A pretty compliment to Miss Mary
Helen Huff, whose wedding to Mr T
S. Shope will take place this evening
was the progressive hearts party given
in her honor by Miss Lois Morse Tues
day evening of this week.
The home was prettily decorated in
red and white hearts and cupids, and
the game of hearts was played at four
tables.
In the dining room, where refresh
ments of fruit salad, Russian tea and
crackers and heart-shaped cheese straws
and cakes were served after the games,
Quantities of the red and write deco
rations were used. In one corner was
a large tripod holding countless red
and white cupids, and suspended from
this-was a basket made of white and
red hearts.
Present to enjoy the evening with the
honor guests and hostess were sixteen
girl friends of the bride-elect.

ENJOYABLE BRIDGE PARTY.
An enjoyable bridge party was that
at which Mrs. N. V. Perry entertained
Monday afternoon of this week.
The games were played with interest
at four tables, Mrs. Gudger making
top score and winning the honors of
the game, after which a delicious hot
luncheon was served.

CHILDREN’S PARTY.
Little Miss Dorothy Barrett was
hostess at a delightful brirthday party
at her home on Depot street Monday.
On the arrival of the young guests
numerous games were enjoyed, after
which the guests were ushered into the
The Climax.
The Climax, the hill for the Opera
House Wednesday, December 22, is
one of the really big productions to
come to the opera house this season.
In another column can be found a
personal card from Manager Davis,
who gives his personal guarantee of
the excellency of the' production. The
following press notices from the At>
larfta Constitution, and the Chattanooga
News show how the show "was ap
preciated in those two qities:
“The Climax” at the Grand.
“The Climax,
a play in. three acts,
by Edward Locke, with incidental mu
sic by Joseph Carl Breil, was pre
sented by Joseph Weber at the Grand
for the first-time-of five performances
last night. This play is ■ remarkable
for the smallness of the cast, only
four in number, and for the fact that
this quartet presents a tbhme which
is gripping in intensity and which sus
tains the interest throughout the even-
in, an interest dependent entirely upon
the words and action of the play, for
the scene is not changed once.
Since this play follows so closely
upon the heels of “The Music Master,”
and since the characters are taken
from New York’s musical quarter, too,
that play, perforce, is drawn into a
comparison, to which it would not have
been subjected v had its bookings been
at a different date. But coming as it
does on the wake of that masterpiece,
much of the keen edge it otherwise
would ifave enjoyed is-blunted, though
this opinion is purely a personal one.
The tone of the two plays is the
same, but the theme and treatment
varies widely.
In the matter of stage settings Be-
lasco has yet to find an equal, and in
this respect “The Climax” suffered.
But when it comes to the strengfh«of
the lines, the force in action and heart-
stirring interest there is but slight dif
ference, and no single member of “The
Music Master” cast, with the exception
of its star, surpassed the quartet in
“The Climax,” who unfolded a story
that made smiles chaise away the tears
throughoufthe evening.
One of the chief charms about “The
Climax” is that to the majority of the
audience the story of the play was un
known and it was unfolded without the
jarring knowledge that comes when
one is able to anticipate.
There are, as stated, only four char
acters in the play: Luigi Golfanti (J.
M. Colville), his son, Pietro Golfanti
(Charles Hdwson), Dr. John Raymond
(Robert Thorne) and Adelina Von Ha
gen (Pauline Perry)-. The first is the
vocal teacher, his son. a composer,
and Adelina, the pupil of- Luigi and
the inspiration of Pietro.
Their work was splendid. No better

Career vs. Love is the great theme
of the play, and the plot is so cleverly
interwoven that the climax leaves the
auditor to judge to a great extent.
Competent critics have described
“The Climax” as a melody drama, and
this seems to be especially fitting.
The dramatic side of the presentation
is highly carried out, and yet it is in

and Mrs. Shope will leave for a wed

The wedding is creating intense in
terest here, owing to the prominence of
the contracting parties.
Miss Huff is a member of one of the
most prominent .families of the state
She is a highly accomplished and at
tractive young woman, and has made
and held hundreds of friends by her
strength of character. She is a gradu
ate of the Dalton Female college, where
she took a high stand in her work. For
about eight years she was connected
with The A. J. Showalter Co., of which
company she was treasurer for a 'Hum
ber of years. Always careful and
painstaking in her work, understanding
the business thoroughly, she proved of
incalculable worth to the big printin
establishment.
Mr. Shope is a striking example of
the self-made man. After having a
meager schooling, he came to this city
and started at the bottom round of the
printing business. His promotions
were rapid; and after several years of
hard, honest work, be was given the
position of manager of The A. J. Sho
walter Co., one of the largest printing
establishments in the south. Since he
assumed control, the business has been
built up rapidly. It is, however, as
editor of The Citizen that Mr. Shope
has become known throughout the
country. His editorial work is copied
in hundreds of papers, and the press
notices from his fellow editors show
the high esteem in which he is held by
the members of the Fourth Estate.
On their return from New Orleans
Mr. and Mrs. Shope will be at home
at Hotel Dalton for a short time.
