THE Parish Players. The value of the drama, rightly directed, in community life is to be dc< ribc.l and illustrated on the third night of the Chautauqua. Harold Heaton, prominent in connection with the “little theatre" move
ment and Chautauqua lecturer on matters pertaining to the drama, will give a brief introductory address on this theme, upon which he is an authority. This is to be followed by three one-act plays by the Parish Players; also
a brief sketch—the “Lady Teazle” scene from the old classic, “The School For Scandal.”
The first play will be a stirring and timely drama known as “The AVar Zone,” which not only interests, but has a lesson. The “Lady Teazle” scene will follow, then a romantic play and, lastly, a clever and pleasing comedy.
As to the personnel, Harold Heaton, heretofore referred to, will play an important role. He has played with many famous actors, including James K. Hackett. Miss Fern Hobart Doubleday, another member of the company, is a
brilliant young actress of great personal charm and vivacity who has appeared in several repertoire companies and has won honors in lyric pantomime and musical comedy. Having appeared in leading parts with the Victoria Players
and the Boyd-Nolan Players, Miss Doubleday is an experienced player as well as a student of the drama.
Earl Russell, comedian and character impersonator, has been successful as the sultan in the “Sultan of Sulu” as well as in other important characters In the plays from the writing of George Ade.
Mr. Fritz Sehlemmer is the fourth member of the cast. In addition to his work as an actor, he is a master of lighting effects and has recognized abilities as a painter, both of which talents will add to the effectiveness of this pro
duction.
The staging for the Parish Players, for example, was created especially for them by Fritz Sehlemmer and executed by the Dodge & Castle Studios, New York.
The lighting effects are from the celebrated Klerlv Studios. New York, the same masters of since lighting who produced the wonderful effects in the “Garden of Allah” and “Kismet” for the New York Hippodrome.
Tribute of Georgia Democrats
To President Wilson Is Great
Joseph E. Pottle, of Baldwin, who
was elected temporary chairman of
the Macon made the fol
lowing speech to the delegates:
“We have gathered here, the repre
sentatives of the militant professive
democracy of the state, not to name a
candidate for the presidency, but to
ratify the choice already made of the
united democracy of the nation. If
ihere was ever a moment in the coun
try’s history, in which a united demo
cratic party was imperative, it is this
moment. If there was ever an hour in
which we had that united democratic
party it is this hour. Taking the helm
< f the national ship at a period when
genuine Americanism was to be put to
the supreme test, and under conditions
which rendered essential tne exercise
of extraordinary capacity, when the
least blunder might have involved our
country in complications whose conse
quense no seer could prophesy, Wood
row M ilson has given evidence full,
final and complete of a patriotic grasp
of the entire situation, which at the
same lime strengthens the heart of the
hesitating and moderates the ardor of
the militant.
“With full realization of the fact
that his first and foremost thought is
and must be the welfare and the honor
of our great republic, our president at
the same time understands that the
honor of the nation and the self respect
ot its people demands his stern insist
ence on the nation’s rights as a neu
tral and the enforcement of those in
ternational laws, which set a just and
salutary limit to the energies of war
ring combatants. The democratic party
of this great state unfalteringly loyal
to the historic doctrines of the party of
Thomas Jefferson, seeking no contest
of force or entangling alliance with
the other nations of the earth, records
its enthusiastic confidence in Wood
row Wilson and its supreme faith in
his courage, his ability and bis patriot
ism and endorses without any qualifi
cation whatsoever the course and the
conduct of his administration. Essen
tially, and emphatically a man of
peace, he knows as we know, that he
who cries for war, except as a last re
sort, is a traitor and a braggart, and
that he who demands peace at any
price is a traitor and a coward. This,
my fellow democrats, is no time for
hyphens in our names, or in our char
acters. Between the Scylla of war on
one side and the Charybdis of national
dishonor on the other our president has
steered the ship of state with the hand
of an adept and the brain of a master.
“Speaking, I believe, for this assem
bled multitude and for the democrats
of Georgia, their wives and their
jdaughters and their sons, I may say
.vith perfect faith that we extend to
the great democratic president of
tuese United States our enthusiastic
confidence and loyalty.
“When the history of our country's
life and conduct in the two past preg
nant years, comes to be finally written,
its chief character will be Woodrow
Wilson, and the conspicuous and at
tractive phase of that character will
be his devotion to the cause of peace.
In the midst of the universal w r oe,
across the seas, he has stood calm and
serene, calling with unimpassioned
poise for sober, unexcited consideration
of the rights of nations and of men and
I do not doubt for a moment that his
course in all these troubled days wili
be one of the most inspiring epochs in
all our history.
“The Anglo-Saxon race, since that
fateful day when Cromwell’s armed
partisans put the soldier above the
civilian, and the warrior above the
statesman, has stood with firm deter
mination against a standing army in
time of peace. There has been no
abatement of this great policy in our i
own country, yet, nevertheless, when
the War God stretches out his hand
over the world, when mutterings of
combat reach our shores, it would be
puerile to sit by in smiling confidence.
Our president has met this exigiency,
unforeseen and unforeshadowed, with
unmoving purpose, undeterred by
criticism and undismayed by opposi-

We never have a long spell of sick

tion. It is impossible to believe there
can be in any state or section of this
union any considerable company of
citizens who do not endorse with
grateful fervor every word and ges
ture of our president which hold out
preparation for defense, on the land
and on the sea. The democrats of
Georgia, loyal as they are to the stars
and stripes, devoted as they are to the ■
principles of peace, send to Woodrow
Wilson and his advisers this message
that without hesitation, without ques
tion, with full faith, and with enthus
iastic confidence, they believe in
him, that his plans for the public wel
fare and the preservation of the na
tional honor, meets their cordial ap
proval. They know, as he knows, that
peace without honor is degradation;
and that war without excuse is a
crime, and knowing this they pledge
to him their unanimous support, with i
complete assurance that in no event. i
will the one be the destiny of the na- 1

SWING OUT NOW I
ATLANTA, Ga., May 5. —Complete '!
financial organization of The Com- j ‘
monwealth, official organ of the Geor- j “
gia Anti-Saloon League, was announc-1 s
ed in Atlanta yesterday by Dr. G. W. > ;
Eichelberger, superintendent of the ' <
League and editor of the paper.
i (
Recently the paper secured a char- ,
ter from Fulton superior court, which (
charter has been duly accepted by ,
the stockholders. The latter are <
about 365 in number and reside in
practically every section of the state.
The Commonwealth, which has for
sometime been issued bi-weekly, has
had a strong influence in politics and
in waging the prohibition light, which
resulted in the enactment of the pro
hibition laws. Over $6,000 has been
paid in stock subscriptions and the
stock, which is rapidly being sold,
will be increased to SIO,OOO. Some of
the most prominent men and leading
prohibitionists are among the stock
holders. The large subscription list
will be increased as the result ot
plans for enlarging and improving the
paper.
It is announced that The Common-

its own plant and instead of a bi
weekly paper will be Issued once a
week. It will keep the subject of pro

the people in a vigorous way and will
make its influence felt in Georgia
politics, as heretofore.
AN OLD Rl CPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
(Oniomn Garden Sage and Sulphur
Makes Streaked, Faded or Gray
Hair Dark and Youthful
at Once.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble-1
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drugstore for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sul
phur Compound.” You will get a large
bottle of this old time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients
for about 50 cents. Everybody uses I
this preparation now, because no one |
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
cther application or two, your hair'
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.
