“WE GET RESULTS”
Mike qpd Buater, the Ponce DeLeon
pete, are attracting a great deal of at
tention tbeee day,. _ .
Mike ie a naUve of India, arriving lb
Atlanta together with some thirty or
forty of hie kinsmen, coiielgned to the
park early in May. He Is a blue-
blooded, hlgh-etrung Individual, and
won evidenced that he did not care at
all for hi, associate,, and wan removed
frdm their mld«t and given a berth far
more to hie fad and fancy.
Buster Is an unknown quality. He
walked out on the broad board walk
one afternoon, struck up an acquain
tance with Mike, and they have been
mighty fast friend, ever since. Mike's
movements are controlled by a cord,
attached to a belt nroimd hi, waist,
but Buster I, permitted to go a, he
S leases, but he pleases to remain close
y. his partner, probably to share the
goddles that are offered the former and
possibly because he thinks a whole lot
of the companion of hi, choice.
Mike I, a monkey. Buster Is a cat.
Their Jioimf I, to the left of the park
office, but they are usually all/over the
park, for somebody connected! with At
lanta's playground will want to take
Mike out for a stroll or he will show
that he wants to visit the soda water
pavilion or the fruit stand, and Buster
will follow. Mike Ukes to ride on the
toboggan, and when he nears that de
vice grows restless, until some one will
take him a spin over the maple tracks.
He will start to chatter at the start,
and there Is a real yell If ha Is not per
mitted to finish out his Idea of the right
number of rides.
Buater finds a place In every car In
which Mike I, a passenger. At night
fall the two pet, are brought Into the
office to be kept out of the cool air. not
that It would affect Buster, but Mike Is
a delicate sort of a chap.
Has Many Owners.
Mike Is the personal property of
Hugh Cardoso, tho park manager,
while Buster is claimed by Teddy Ar
nold, the treasurer. Joe Eulg, of the
construction department, claims both,
and Jock Youngs. In charge of the
Hale ear, contends that both care mort
for him than they do for anyone else.
Earl Bowen says Mike baa evidenced
a desire to help him climb the light
poles, and every one of the girl cash
iers on the grounds ha, made a request
to be entrusted with the rare-of either
or both during the winter.
Jake Matthleseen, the band leader,
who. by the way, Is the florist, de
clare* he has caused a special place
erected within the hot house for the
accommodation of Mike this winter,
while Henry DeGlve, of the Casino,-fig
ure, that he know, some little people
who would like a couple of pets like
Mike and Buater for the winter.
Mike Is the guardian of Buster. It Is
remarkable that he ha* evidenced euch
a fondness for the kitten. He will have
nothing to do with the other monkeys.
At night the two pet* get together and
they actually sleep In each others'
arm,.
A number of kind-hearted people
have complained at the office that the
kitten should not be permitted to re
main so close around the monkey, de
claring that the Indian might do harm
to - the Unknown. These good people
have been advised that they may re
move the Kitten If they desire to do so,
provided Mike would not object. There
has been no successful effort to ac
complish- the purpose, and Mike Is
ready to fight for the protection of his
partner at any time. -
Mike has a IS bill to his credit, while
Buster has a snug little bank account.
The dimes, nlckles and pennies that
are tossed to the pets are being saved
for them, and Just what will be bought
with the fund Is not determined, unless
there will soon be a donation In the
name of Mike and Buster to one of the
local charitable Institutions.

The hm/of vaudeville offered at the
Ponce DeLeon Casino last week showed
an improvement over the preceding
numbers, and there is every evidence
that the commissioners for the park
theater in New York are not experi
encing quite as much difficulty In In
ducing acts to come South.
The bill that has been secured for
the'week that starts on Monday night
Is/annarently the strongest yet secur
ed. and it Is possible that the path to
the Casino will be crowded almost con
tinuously for the entire week. At
lanta theatergoers want vaudeville and
the Casino management is making
every effort to get absolutely the best
talent. During the season last year
the Casino's great capacity was hardly
large enough to accommodate all those
who flocked to see the vaudeville shews,
and the verjt best people in Atlanta
made up these representative gather
ings. The season this year has been
handicapped In one or two directions,
and after the series of combinations
had been closed and vaudeville was
started the task of securing acts as
serted itself as one of the difficult prob.
lems that confront the management at
this time of the year. However, this
has been overcome,. and the bill that
will open on Monday night will be
something of unusual Interest and pow.
erful strength. Jake Wells personally
went to Nejv York from his Richmond
office to secure these people. The fact
that he haa a thorough knowledge of
the kind of Beta best liked over his
circuit Is being evidenced In the make
up of this program, and^il Is probable
that the Casino will hardly be large
enough to accommodate those who will
want to see the- performances.
The feature of the new mill I, Ar
menia, the handsome and fearless terp.
stchorean artist, presenting a dance
with dazzling and startling electrical
embellishments, and her mirror dance,.
She was one of the features In vaude
ville In America until two season, ago,
when she was called abroad, and her
success there was heralded in the spe
cial press dispatches of the electrical
papers, advising of the wonderful suc
cess and the great Impression she had
created. The stage settings for this
act are very elaborate and expensive,
and the dances that ore to be offered
arc really the dances of nations with
beautiful electrical and lire effects that
are reflected in all sorts of wonderful
mirrors that form the background of
the act. There has never been a high
er-priced or greater vaudeville novelty
offered In Atlanta than this specialty.
Howell and Scott, comedians of s
high caliber, who have successfully
mastered the refined art of portraying
Hebrew character In its most humor
ous fashion, will ofTer their new come
dy sketch, which has been the fea
ture of the first-class vaudeville house,
of the East for the lost eighteen
months. They come to Atlanta for
their first trip South, and their en
gagement la a special one, for they
will return to New York immediately
after completing the engagement here.
Rice and Elmer, who until recently
were the principal acrobats with one
of the largest circuses, will make their
vaudeville debut In a sensational hori
zontal bar contribution. Both of these
men are nervy performers, and have
hardly an equal in their special class
Bartlett, Gorma and Bartlett, come
dians, and Devlno and Williams, bur
lesque oomedy, will make up the bill
together with a new series of moving
pictures. Matthlesaen’s orchestra will
render the Incidental and special muil-
cal numbers, and there Is promised t
feature number that will share honors
with the hit of the bill.
This vaudeville program apparently
eclipses anything of the sort ever seen
In Atlanta, and Is made up of the
cream of talent.
Seats can be secured In advance tt
the Bijou box office.
‘DARK EiES AND BLUE;"
ATLANTA COMPOSER’S SONG
Do you prefer dark eyes or blue?
Perhaps If you’ll recall the affairs of
