EXHIBITJS OPENED
Governor and ex-Governors
Make Addresses On the
White Plague.
The great anti-tuberculosis exhibit in the
Central Congregational church was thrown
open to the public Monday night.
And the opening was under the moat favor
able conditions, despite the inclement
weather, for a large audience listened at
tentively to the*interesting addresses of the
distinguished Georgians who had come out
to talcs part in the exercises.
That the movement for the fight on tuber
culosis is strong in Georgia, and that the
big men of the state are standing behind this
movement for the treatment and prevention
of consumption, was clearly shown at the
opening of the splendid exhibit.
Addresses were delivered by Governor
Hoke Smith, ex-Governora Korthen and Can
dler, Mayor Robert P. Maddox and Captain
W. G. Raoul. Ex-Governor Korthen, who
was active in arranging for the exhibit, pro-
M The speakers told of the dreadful inroads
the white plague had made into the health
of the nation, and of the progress being
made in the curing and preventing of what
was considered formerly an incurable malady.
With this proved, they demonstrated the
great benefits to be derived by a close study
of the problem, by carefulness and by the
education of the masses alo^~ *- —

Ex-Governor Korthen pointed ont the way
tuberculosis may be contracted, including in
halation and inoculation either by food 01
inheritance. He pointed out that the dis
ease was more prevalent in the South than
the Korth, and that, therefore, it behooved
the South to lead In the fight against the
Governor Smith termed the fight on tuber-
culosia now being made "the noblest work
of the human race."
"Twenty years ago. he said, "tubercu
losis was considered fatal in every case. To
day, known remedies are in daily use. Splen

against the great malady, and as long as we
continue to fight and fight hard we will con-
The governor said the one great need at
present is a thorough education of the peo
ple on the subject, and this, he laid, waa
l.cing largely accomplished by the exhibit.
He said only at the Home For Incurables
mar a consumptive be treated here, and
called on those present to help to provide
other places for the treatment.

Charles 8. Barrett, national president

connected with the Southern fanners’

The 3,000.000 members of the Farm

terested In the proposed chanres In the
tariff, especially the duties on seu Island
and short staple cotton. Jute bagging,
potash salts, etc., and altho Mr. Bar

Washington, It Is believed that It has
to do with these proposed changes
which are said to threaten the Imposi

By R. H. ROWE.
Surely the presentation of "Macbeth'
by the Ben Greet Players at the Grand
Monday night was on Intellectual de
light, especially to lovers of Shakes
peare. The simplicity of the Ellsa-
bethan manner adds strongly to the ef
fectiveness of the play and the histori
cal accuracy of costumes and proper
ties leave nothing lo be desired. While
Miss Kslth Wakeman aa I.ady Macbeth
and Stanley Drewltt aa Macbeth are
not great actors, such a* one Is likely
to recall as associated with these fa
mous role*, nevertheless they make a
noise very much like the old masters.
Miss Wakeman'* magnificent physique
and voice and thoroughly Intelligent
conception of the part enable her to
grip the attention of her hearers. And
Mr. Drewltt's work, while perhaps not
so forceful, Is nevertheless satisfactory
enough. A number of others should
nlso be mentioned: Mark T. Wilson a*
Malcolm, Leonard Shepard as Mac
duff and Frederick Macklyn as the por
ter.
The scenes In which the Weird Sis
ter* appear are especially effective In
their Investment'of the play, with the
Idea of the supernatural, much more
effective than In most presentations.
The Elizabethan manner is rigidly ad
hered to, without change of setting and
without the fall of the curtain between
acts. There were no between-acts, only
'•Intervals." Even the "supes" were
Elizabethan. The gallery didn't know
whnt they were until the play was half
over, then they became fast friends, a*
la usual.
But—
“Bum Chorus Girls.”
The Weighing Clerk stopepd by and
got his friend, who presides at the
throttle of the soda fountain, and they
went to the Grand Monday night. They
saw the play, and, departing, were
heard to commune with each other as
follows:
Said the Weighing clerk:
"Swell show, that: lot* of class to it."
Swell?-' Sure. High brow, all right,
but I tell you. bo, there’s something the
matter with It," said the Soda Kid.
I know what ’tin," said the Weigh
ing Clerk. ""Twas those chorus girls.
Take this from me. that was about the
punkest chorus I ever saw. No matter
whether the chorus represents witches
or fairies or what not. they are always
good-lookers. But those had beards
on their faces. Chorus girl* with
beards! Ola fudge!"
Aifd another thing,” said the Soda
Kid. "If Mao was such a Scotchman,
why didn’t he dress like It? I never
saw a Scotchman without a plaid skirt
and bare knees, and Mao never once
said, 'Hoot, mon!’ tho he came very
near It In that last mlx-up with Mac
duff.”
Didn't Know the Ghost.
'But tell me this," said the Weigh
ing Clark, "who was that guy wfio kept
butting In where they were eating and
scared Mac Into a spasm?”
"I never could pipe him myself,” said
the Soda Kid, -‘but, then, you know
Mak got nutty after his wife Jollied
him Into killing the king. But wasn't
that killin' the tamest thing? That's
no -way to kill a person—slip off and
find him In belt stab him and then
come back with bloody hands.' I want
to see the hero and his Indian friends
put forty bullets Into the villain right
before your eyes and no blood shed at
all."
And listen to this.” said the Weigh
ing Clerk. ”1 never saw a show before
where. Instead of the audience going
out between the acts and leaving the
actors, the actors go out and leave the
audience. I don't see any good In a
show without any -betwoen-aot ■ -
That's why I learned to smoke ciga
rettes, so as to have something* to do
between acts and when I go to dances.”
"Let's stop In here and get a dope,”
said the Soda Kid, "It will make us feel
better."
While In the act of drinking the
Weighing Clerk waa arrested with a
sudden Idea.
• "What's the use of worrying?” he
raid. "Cecil Spooner's coming back In
the summer."

CARUSO AND HIS BROTHER
DOING STUNTS AT ORPHEUM
By J. D. GORTATOWSKY.
Nov, when you get a dog that can
sing and a dog that can play real mu
sic on a piano, and two trained roosters,
not to mention a trained mule and sev
eral trained horses, you Just must up
and know that you're traveling at a
considerable clip in the animal-net line.
Either that, or somebody Is lying—
and It wouldn't be.hard to believe that
the fellow who told you the dog sang
and played on a piano was no friend of
the truth. But. honest, they put 'em
ah on at the Orpheum Monday night.
There was never un animal act at
the Orheunt like t'lertnont's circus—
never one as original, and probably
never one as clever. It 4s a burlesque
circus, which is a scream In itself, and
then It Is n trained animal show. In
troducing f.'aruso and his brother, a
pair of roosters. In a crowing match, a
dancing dog, a singing dog and a pian
ist dog, and some ufiusually smart po
nies.
Hugh C'ardexa made good his prom
ise to rut out Intermission* and the
vaudeville show went thru without a
hitch or a let-up either In the per
formance or In the merriment. He mnde
good his other promise to show At
lanta real, regular vaudeville. It can
be said, without any undue enthusiasm
or exaggeration, that the Orpheum has
never had a better bill.
Those who saw the Six American
Dancers Monday night were perfectly
willing to admit they had never seen a
dancing act before. One couldn't con
sistently mention the previous dancing
acts and the Six American Dancers In
the same week. The Mario Trio are
about as clever gymnasta aa one could
wish to see. and as graceful. It's one
of those acts that never stops until
It's thru and keeps the audience In a
thrill all the Way. Btmm! Boom! Barr!
Is a Europeon novelty musical act of
unusual excellence, prettily costumed.
It has that Indefinable something the
rapturous critics call "class," and Its
merit is enhanced by striking electrical
effects.
Dainty Mattie Lockette, as "Mary
Jane." made a decided hit right at the
beginning of the bill. Fred Sosman
showed It was not Impossible to be
funny and entertaining in a dress suit,
and the Pelots mixed clever juggling
with entertaining comedy and unique
acrobatics. It’s a great show; no kld-
dln’. Matinees dally. Performances
nightly.
