Kilbourn Gordon, late of Ath
ens, Ga., Is now basking in the
sweetest smile that Broadway and
its radiating lanes .can bestow
upon an adopted child.
Famed for Us ever changing
moedt, its fickle adoration^, thea
trical Broadway has turned Its
heaviest spotlight on a native BOn
of the south, and everybody seems
to like it.
For Kilbourn Gordon hag pick
ed a winner. That’s all ydu need
to do In order to catch up with
the warmth of Broadway's smile.
.Smiles for a winner; frowns and
a cold shoulder for a loser—that's
Broadway. Yes sir. this native
Georgian picked a winner—the
biggest of the theatrical year—
''The Cat and the Canary."
This Interesting and intensely
thrilling play will be seen at the
Colonial for one nighL Thursday,
■lamfary 25th. The one man re
sponsible for this exhiliratlng
drama of crime > and mystery is
really much more than a native
son of Georgia. He is a son of
the entire south, for there are un
cles of Louisiana, aunts in Ala
bama, to say nothing of the cous
ins in Mississippi who hear from
him every Christmas and right
soon thereafter appear among
their companions adorned with a
new blue necktlo and red sus
penders. Mr. Gordon never for
gets his cousins on Christmas.
LEFT ATHENS FOR
THE NORTH
Mrs. Sam Nickerson, who has
been ill with flu at the General
hospital, has been carried home
and is slowly convalescing which
her friends will be yiad to learn,
Mr. P. J. Neal, formerly in tho
automobile trimming business here
but more recently of Spartanbur;
S. C., has returned to Athens and
is In the trimming department of
Klein & Martin.
228 Marriages In
Athens During ’22
- A total of 228 marriage licenses
were issued by Judge It C. Orr, or
dinary, during 1922, up to Saturday
noon. December led all the othci
months, despite the fact that Juno
Is the supposed “month of brides."
A total of 22 certificates were
passed out In December, while dur-
iug June, the socond largest‘month,
By months the figures arc as fol-
22 were Issued,
lows:
January 18; February 19; March
15; April 13; May 1 ' 17; June 22;
July 11; August 21; September 16;
October 20; November 23; and De
cember 32. Thirteen of the licenses
issued in December have not been
certified back to Judge Orr and the
Indication is that this number Cave
not married, o ftho tota llssued.
MARRIAGES
EXCEED DIVORCE8
Although the records of tho
courts for the exact number of di
vorces granted dinring the year
were not ferreted Jut Clerk E. J.
Crawford states that not more than
sixty final decrees were granted
during the year and this shows that
the number of marriages far out
strip the unmber ot separations in
the county.
The number ot white marriages
for the year is far ahead of the
number ot colored marriages. Tn’s
Is a reversal of what happens in
prosperous times when more ne
groes marry than whites. But one
license was''renUered void during
the year, the cause being given
"that it was purchased without due
authority.’’
When Kilbourn Gordon left
Athens and started north he had
no definite idea of what tho world
demanded for a young man in re
turn for a comfortable living.
Which may explain why he sought
a job as a page in the house of
representatives in Washington.
He got the Job but wfis not thrill
ed with it. Laugh if you must,
but Young Gordon becamo ob
sessed with the idea that con-
grestonnl pages were overpaid—
that their contribution in labor
did not equal the monthly salary
check. Bo he resigned and t k a
fling at newspaper reporting.
* After two days of news chas
ing for a Washington paper young
Gordon developed a keen realiza
tion thnt for the labor perform
ed he was not In any sense being
overpaid,—no matter what the
pay envelope contained. From
newspaper reporting it was an
easy step into the publicity
branch of tho drama and. follow
ing the usual routine. Mr. Gor
don finally found himself seated
at the mahogany desk provided by
William A. Brady fur his general
publicity director.
By this time the native son of
Georgia had put a pretty firm
hand on tho drnma of Broadway.
He had come Into close contact
with Its Joys and its sorrows; he
had seen successes grow front
nothing and he had seen magnifi
cent fullures follow upon the
heels of costly effort. He has
gone beyond the period where the
incandescent light of Times
Square could make him blink.
GOOD SENSE
GUIDED HIM
It may have been instinct, bat
those who know him best say it
whs his downright good sense
that gave him a showman’s true
vision, when he read the manu
script ot "The Cat and tho Ca
nary." The play had bee n refus
ed by several Important and dis
tinguished producers, but one
reading of the play revealed to
Kilbourn Oordon"its extraordinary
popular appeal—and he produced
It- ' '
Whether It was luck or good
Judgment the facts remains that
"The Cat and the Canary" Is at
this time smashing theatrical
records on three continents and
tiie i smiles of Broadway, fickle
though they be, are flooding Kil
bourn Gordon with their warmth.
Which is not so bad for a na
tive son of Athens—or any Other
place.
