To tha Kdltor of Tha Georgian:
Colonel Woodward claims that my

It Is not as well known to the young

facts In Question, aa well n» I can re

these years.
Whan I became mayor of tho rlly In
January, 1115, twenty-two years ago,
the city was using the old plant on

THE THEATERS I
Nat Goodwin in "The Genius.”
The man and the play met In Nat C.
Goodwin and "The Genius."
After seeing him In this production
one wonders why Uondwtn and the do
Mltles did not discover each other a
long, longwhile ago. Put It Is nil right
now. When ripeness of years and a
fair degree of embonpoint hare come
to the genial Goodwin he becomes a
genius.
And the splendid audience at the
Grand Monday evening set the seal of
approval on Mr. Goodwin and went
sway avowed disciples of the theory
that he Is, maybe after all, "Tho
Genius."
Confessedly many were In the audi
torium to seo Miss Kdna Goodrich, be
cause of same remote connection She
had with the Thaw affair. But In the
fresh and radiant beauty of this young
woman nnd her clevern"*-. they forgot
that primal Interest, ua Mika Goodrich
probably wlahes them to do. No »m-
bttloui young actreaa desires to base
her meed of public esteem by oven re
mote connection with n great scandal.
"The Genius" Is a very clever piece
of work. It has action, sufficient hu
man Interest, sanity of treatment and
very, very clever dialogue, if . it was
not for flfteen-mlnuto testa between
the two curtains Mr. Goodwin would
shortly have a plethora of damage aults
from persons rendered helpless by ex
cessive cschlnatlon.
What Is the use of giving a tasteless
resume of the plot? In n word. It Is a
chortling vehicle made for people with
a grouch. Tho man or woman who
ran alt through the three acts without
laughing Is entitled to a Carnegie hero
medul. Probably It would be n tin-
press agent business to offer It, ns
there would be no danger of having to
put up.
Mr. Ooodwln may not butt Into the
Temple of Tame or get himself em
balmed In biographies and "Who's
Whos." as "one of America's greatest
actors.” but humanity will own him u
bit of a debt for sanding them away
from his performances with a bunch
of real old human emotion welling up
In them. Anil that Is a pretty good
mission after all.
His supporting company Is excellent.
Miss Goodrich deoe-vt* all the press
notices concerning .ter rich and ap-
C flng beauty. And she bus talents to
k It up—a statement that would re
quire a hunch of affidavits if said about
aome great American beauties.
Messrs. O'Brien. Iteaelt nnd. John
stons aa the three artists, were perrect
foils for Mr. Goodwill The engage
ment will conclude with the presenta
tion of "What Would a Gentleman Do7"

At the Bijou.
No wonder the Powder Trust Is able
to declare dividends Hurry Clay llla-
ney In "The Iloy Behind the Gun," son
Monday, evening nt the Bijou by on
SUdttnce which pm H premium oil
standing room, helps some. They burn
up enough powder In the fourth net to
stock a fairly respectable Central
American revolution.
That fourth act. by the way. Is th"
climax of the play. Tho stage Is set to
represent the deck of Admiral Togo's
flagship "Mlkuss " Three or four Out
tllng guns oiciipy prominent positions
on the deck, and, at the proper time,
belch forth enough flnme and smoke 11
ploase the most burdened gallery god.
For real, live action. "The Boy Be
hind the Gun" can't lie beaten. The
play baa to do with the war between
Russia and Ja|*u ami some Americans
who get mixed up In llie plot. Tho
villain Is a Russian count. You know
tho rest. A hunch of real Japaneso
prove an Interesting feature, and their
marching and drilling In the second
act culled forlb plenty of applause. In
llie Port Arthur hospital scene tho
Japa' method of scaling walls made a
lasting hit.
Of course Harry Clay Blaney. who
has tho "smile that won't como off" and
who plays the part of "Wtlllo Live,"
war correspondent and chief hutter-ln,
was half tha show. Kitty Wolfe came
In for a liberal ahare of honors, whlla
John Leach as "Ring Lee" might well
be mlstuken for a real Chink.
Tha scenery Is In keeping with the
usuully give their productions, and I
■day goes with a snap and dash that
keeps you on tiptoes all the time. But
those Gatling guns ore great. Let iib
hope the supply of gun powder doesn't
give out before Saturday. C. J. K.
"Zara” Corots Wednesday.
“Zuxa" Is tha play In which Mlsa
Mabel Montgomery will appear at the
Grand on Wednesday at matinee nnd
night. In Its original French It wns the
work of l’lerro Bertou. The Kngllsh
version proved G»*he the most artistic
hit of Mrs. Leslie Carter’s career. It la
tin adaptation Involving much orlgl-
nnllty, as well as nice discrimination
between the tastes of French und
American audiences.
"A Message From Mars.”
When a play can run successfully
for more than one year In New York
city there Is no doubt ns to Its merit.
"A Message From Mars," n beautiful
comedy, will bo presented here ut the
Grand Thursday matinee and night.
This play not only ran two years con
secutively In New York, hut It
Increased danger
from luck of fire protection.
This was the state of things In the
beginning of my administration as
mayor. A member of council, I forget
now who It was. Introduced u resolution
looking to a sale of those old works.
What were we to do? Tho former
council had unloadsd on the then new
council a debt of forty thousand dollars,
and one of the banka held the oily's
obligation for It.. The country was just
emerging from (he panic of IHI-
"flluck Friday,” 1 think it was caned
—and times were hard. The people
could scarcely bear any Increuse of
taxation or assessments. Public opin
ion at first favored the Idea of n sale,
oh also did. 1 think, both the council
and the wuter board, each of them as
uble and putriotlc ns any the city ever
hod. and I myself at first favored It.
But we proceeded cuuthmsly and
watted. The policy of municipal own
ership was then new to us nil. The
result of Investigation waa that public
opinion changed, and a sentiment wns
aroused not before apparent, by which
the people became willing to make the
needed sacrifices to Improve and main
tain the works, and not to aell. but to
move Ike plant to n new and better lo
cation as soon as possible. This view
was Anally adopted by the council and
of the water board, and by myself.
Universal Meter System.
We adopted and put Into effect the
universal meter aystem. Important re.
pairs were made In the bollera and en
gines. The pressure In the mains at
once rose so that the Are department
could get six or eight streams of water
over the top of the then highest build
ings: the Insurance companies took off
tha burden and such was the Improved
aervire and economy that what was
supposed to be one year's supply of
coal contracted for under former stand
ards laatad two years and a half.
We contracted for a Altar fllant, with
capacity double what the city waa then
using. These things were expensive,
but by a wise economy wo provided the
ways nnd means out of current In
comes without Issuing any bonds: nnd
at the close of my administration us
mayor tho city had an absolutely clean
balance aheet: every obligation thut
was due paid to the last dollars and 1
leaving on hand actual cash and assets
In course of collection equivalent to
cash sufficient to cover the Alter con
tract. Probably no stronger or more
emphatic Indorsement and approval of
any city administration was ever
printed In Atlanta tlmn what appeared
editorially In the city papers. Including
The Constitution, the day after I re
tired from office. These were written
by men who had been observers and
actors In those events, and were read
und applauded by a whole city full of
people who knew the facta to b# true.

years In London.
“Tha College Widow.”
It Is aaltl that the original manu
script of "The College Widow," George
Ado's successful comedy, which comet
to the Grand next Friday and Satur
day nights und Saturday matinee. Is
one of tha most complete ever deliv
ered by an author. Mr. Ade hud a
very distinct Idea of each character he
Introduces Into his play, und there were
pages of appended nnteu In the script,
setting forth Ills notions regarding
minute details of attire and maka-up.
It Is said that every one of the In
teresting village tviies in the comedy

West laifayetle, Ind, where Is located
Purdue University, from which the
playwright was a graduate.

BUYING HORSES
AS A SIDE LINE
Mayor Joyner Is In Indlanapolla this
week helping Chief Cummlnga ta buy
horaea for the Are department.
With more than twenty yeara of ex
perlence aa chief, during which time he
had to buy horeea every yaar for tha
department, the mayor thlnka he knowa
a little about the gentle art of horae
trading, ami he Is showing his succes
sor the ropes.
Mayor Joyner and Chlaf Cummlnga
will probably be gone the entire week.
A short while after .tha close of my
term as mayor I waa elected water
commissioner, and was kept on the
board for about Afteen years (until
rsslgned), anil I waa most of the time
Its president.
In a few years after the close of m:
term as mayor tha old works on Bouti
river were abandoned, and we con
structed the new works north of the
city, which became a complete and
gratifying succeas as a plant and a
' m. pursuant to what had bean
lad while I. waa mayor. All this
done .and completed In the Itta-
of Mr. Richards and before Cole-
Mnnday night. "In th* Wrong Houae”
waa tha play, and Measra. Carr and
Conlay wera the utnrs.
The play deals tilth the complica
tions which arise from a brassy com
mercial traveler being called suddenly
to act the part of n bishop and a sedate
professor, being surrounded by a let of
situations which he eould not explain,
nnd. therefore, had to endure.

comedy of the piece.

Worked laboring Oar.
1 do not say that I did all these
thlngn; not by any means.'The city
hod other and faithful servants; but
do claim that 1 worked the labor
ing oar. For much of this partod 1 gave
something like a Ihlrd of my tlms to
this Important public service. I knew
then, and I know now that Atlanta
can not be a grant city without a well
managed and adequate water supply. I
dp not boost of what I did. I did no
moro than my duty. It Is tho duty of
every man to make eacrlAces .In the
service of hie fellow men. The words
of commendation I ct> often receive Is
belter tluin money or salary.
But I do boast nT (lie fact that prob
ably no man In Georgia for a genera
tion nearly lias acted and spoken nnd
w ritten more, und with better effect In
favor of municipal ownership of pub
lic utilities than I have.
It la not correct lo Bay that I have
always opposed bonds. It Is true that
I have hod very earnest views In ev
ery bond cloctlon, and have oxpressed
them freely. Where It appeared plain
ly that a bond issue waa absolutely
necessary, nnd where the voters nail
assurance In binding legal form what
was golrg to he done with the money
I havo favored the bonds nnd voted
lor them. Where these conditions did
not exist I opposed the bonds.
That Atlanta Is today the best paved

Pardon me for use of the personal pro.
noun, biit any man has the right of
reply.
If the city government ar.d the water
board want tho people to vote for
bonds, let them cut down th# amount
to n reasonable Agure and Ax It so
llie voiers will know, not merely that
this, that, on tho other thing In said to
be needed, but know where they will
apply the money whin they get It, and
