. OF INTEREST TO
CLUBS IN AMERICUS.
When the Atlanta Woman’s Club 1
1 will formally open its doors to the
membership next week in that city,l
the occasion will be in specific com
pliment to Mrs. Irving Thomas, pres
' ident of the club, and to Mr. Thomas 1

ment of a city market in Atlanta, and i

j This Is a very ancient expression,
and is supposed to have been derived
from a king of ancient Egypt, one
Dumops, who built a pyramid and died
of melancholy. Shakespeare uses the

Shrew," in the line which runs: ‘‘How
oow. daughter Katherine—in your

NEW YORK, Feb. 12—The invas
ion of WaU-st. into the theatrical
world was checked this week when the
invasion of Riverside-dr. slipped twen
ty million dollars’ worth of society
girls into the chorus of “Who’s
Next?” a society play that promises
to raise much lucre in behalf of char
ity. This musical comedy is due to
run two weeks at the Princess Thea
ter. Provided the costumes in act
two can hold together for 14 days,
the show will probably last that long.
Maybe it was Constance Talmadge’s
fault that the new York debbies (this
s a high - brow
word meaning deb- ■
utante) wanted to
become chorus
girls. In “Two *
Weeks,” Con
stance’s latest pic- |j

is brought out A
most fascinatingly.
Gracious!. Just
think of a dainty
chorus miss in a
country home with I—
three men for two
weeks and all AUC£ BffADY
the men bachelors!
Twas a delightful situation and that
kind of a picture. The head waiter
bowed low to this miss. And 20
minutes later she was wringing out
her own stockings-—in the picture, of
course.

“Melisande” is something that the

The rival firms of Sophie Tucker
and Jazz Band, and Ted Lewis and
Jass Band have future plans that
lead along different routes. Sophie
with her five syncophated monarchs
and overdone Yiddish by-play, has
organized a new act that opened at
Keith’s Alhambra.
“One year with Sophie Tucker,”
she states, pointing to her nasal-ton
ed cornetist, “and he rides in his
own limousine.” ■ We have always
known Sophie was modest.
Ted Lewis is working on different
lines. After five years of jazz suc
cess in Gotham, Ted has given warn
ing that he will jump freight trains to
Philadelphia, where he will open at
the Schubert Theater. It was five
years ago that Ted came to New
York, he states, without a dime in his
pocket. He’s going to leave the
same way in order not to change his
luck.
