BLANCHE RING. MILTON NOBLES, CHARLES i
WINNINGER*AMONG CELEBRITIES BOOKED
At Rylander For Early Date- —Mark I wain’s
Master Comedy At Opera House
Amusement lovers will be intensely interested in the an
nouncements carried today by the Rylander Theater and Dud
ley's Opera House.
The Rylander announces the booking of Blanche Ring and
Charles Winninger, in ‘ As You Were,” a musical show of extra
ordinary merit, which will appear in February. Milton Nobles
returns January 23 in ’ Lightnin',” for one performance. .Neil
O Brien is here during the month. This week the Rylander car
ries an added attraction of The Royces, a vaudeville act of songs
and dances> which will follow the feature picture today, Tuesday
and Wednesday.
Manager Dudley announces for today and tomorrow Mark
Twain s great comedy, “A Connecticut Yankee in King Ar
thur s Court, one of the most popular moving picture comedi.s
of the year, a picture that is enjoyed equally as much the second
time witnessed as the first.
BLANCHE RING AND
CHARLES WINNINGER
Blanche Ring and Charles Winn
inger have been booked by the Ry
lander theater, in their newest musi
cal hit, “As You Were.’’ They will
appear at the local theater late in
February, probably about the 24th,
Manager Emory Rylander announced
today.
Miss Ring—rather Mrs. Winning
er, for her co-star is her husband—
is playing at the Atlanta theater
this week. From Atlanta she goes
to Jacksonville, Birmingham and
New Orlean, stopping in Americus
on the return lap of her southern
tour.
“As You Were” is a musical play
in two acts of six scenes.
Advance criticisms that have pre
ceded Miss Ring and Chas. Winning
er show that they have met with
great success in their tour of the
South, just as they did last season
in the “Whirl of the World.”
In this new musical play Miss
Ding sings some new songs, and,
as she is always gracious, she sings
some of the old ones that she has
made popular too. She and Mr. Win
ninger have the two chief roles in
the play, of course, which is that of
a prosperous baker and his frivolous
wife.
The baker is interested in pastry
solely and lives for his bsuiness. His
wife has social ambitions and helps
Jiim spend the money he makes. Ke
gives her everything she wants, but
when he discovers that her attentions
are centered on another man, he de
cides to leave home and go in search
of a place where there are no deceit
ful women. As he is about to leave,
a chemist appears who wants him to
finance «■ new discovery, a “transit
pill,” which wil transport the -per
son who takes it to other lands in
other days. Wofflestein, the har
rassed baker, gets possession of the
pills, takes one, and finds himself
in France in the dayes Louis XIV.
But he finds a deceitful woman there
in the person of a historical charac
ter, and another pill takes him to
Athens, Greece, in the days of Hel
,en of Troy. Helen is a gold digger
too, and he goes to Egypt and meets
■Cleopatra. Cleopatra tricks him too
and then wants to feed him to the
crocodiles. Wherever he goes he
find that women are all alike and
that human nature is pretty much the
same today as it ever was. Finally
he goes back home, discovers that his
wife really loves him and that his
going away was all a mistake.
It is a frothy story, but it is all
good, clean fun, with the two princi
pal characters admirably played by
Blanche Ring and Winninger and
their support is entirely adequate,
and they have a rattling good chorus
who can sing and dance, and some
of the others in the cast are Edgar
Atkinson Ely, the Four Entertain
ers, a corking good quartet; Char-

MERCER CELEBRATING
HER 90TH BIRTHDAY
Shows She Has Grown Much
Since The Old Penfield
Days
MACON, Jan. 15.—Starting from
what was known as Mercer Institute,
back at old Penfield, with only three
members of her faculty, Mercer Uni
versity of the present is today cele
brating the ninetieth anniversary of
her beginning.
From this primitive growth there
has come seventy-three members to
her staff with an enrollment of near
ly 200 students now. Back at old
Penfield the faculty, students and
classrooms were housed in a building
’of logs-—the faculty and students
combining, as recorded in the his
toric records of the university, “man
ual labor with study.”
Those ninety years have been
place one on the other with such a
devotion to the early ideals of the
founders that when today the cele
bration begins, the celebrants will
honor the founders with or<- long
stream of Remarkable facts—just a
long period of achievement.
Situated as Mercer - is today on a
campus of eighty-seven acres of city
property, facing beautiful Tattnall
Square, forty-one buildings included
and assets making it the next largest
capitaliz'd corporation in Central
Georgia, the historian realizes the
achivement when reading thus from
the memoirs of Ira D. McDaniel, the
first assitant to Billington Sanders,
first president of
‘Memory brings up to my mental
vision a picture of the site of Mer

does it appear, but almost in a primi

cabins in course of construction. A
group, consisting of Jesse Mercer, B.
Sanders, James Armstrong, John
Lumpkin and Jonathan Davis, mem
bers of the executive committee, are
in session on the grounds, sitting on
a log, and the business under con
sideration is closing the contract
with the asisstant teacher for the
first ye;;r. That done, B. M. Sanders,
secretary of the board, makes the
proper entry of the transaction upon
the minutes, and all depart for their
homes, through the surrounding for
ests.
