DEATH OF MISS LiNNELL
IT
PRINCIPALS IN “THE GOOSE GIRL.”
Virginia Ackerman and Robert Ellis in a scene during the fifth aet of
the absorbing play to which The Georgian will take its readers,
Should a girl suddenly raised fftm
poverty to tho rank of princess ■ marry
the, man who had wonher heart before
fortune smiled? Would it be her duty?
This absorbing question, around
which the thrilling story of "Tho Goose
Girl" has been woven, has aroused
much interest in Atlanta since the an-
readers during the first series of the
ater parties glyen by the newspaper.
From all cities where the play has ap
peared only words of praise'are to be
heard.
Entertainment of this nature lay dor-
mant for several years, but tbe demand
of playgoers for plays of this caliber
awakened the interest of producing
nouncemont- that The Georgian would managers, who saw In'Its call an op-
PflU'n rrl Ita -nnHari llV tlrtUfsta tn tho' nnetilMlI,. nt *avl»ln» fha c-xt.o oLLnolr _
reward its readers by tlqkets to the
dramatic presentation' <}f the successful
story for their opinions,upon the sub
ject.'
, That the. princess-should marry her
lover, seems to be the opinion of most
of those 1 who,have written to The Geor
gian, but there, are others who take the
view that, when; thegoo.e girl was
raised to the rank of princess she be
came .another woman and her duty
then became not to her hoart, but to
her state.
The Georgian wants to take its read
ers to this attractive play at the Lyric
next week, and despite the fact that
many letters have already been re
ceived to which tickets will bo award
ed, there are a great number of box
and orchestra tickets remaining” But
two more days remain before the of
fer closes, so sit right down, tell In 60
words or less Just what YOU think the
goose girl should do upon being raised
to the rank of a princess, send It to
"The Goose Girl" Editor, The Geor
gian, and a box containing six seats,
two box seats or one or two orchestra
ats.may be,yours.
It’s Open to Men, Too.
Now, .Just a word of .Information.
Men Are as welcome to compete In this
contest of opinions as are women. From
the dearth of letters from men It would
seem that the Idea prevails that the
tickets to "Thet Goose Girl" will bo
given to women only, as wag. the case
of those to "The Winning Widow.”
Such Is not the case. Sex does not en
ter Into this distribution of theater
tickets. The tickets will be awarded
according to" the worth of the opinion.
So do not hesitate, men and women
readers of The Georgian. Better-late
than never, send In your solution of
the problem, and an evening of pleas
ure at the expense of The Georgian Is
at your disposal.
In "The Goose Girl". The Georgian
believes that It has chosen an attrac
tion Wily as entertaining, if not more
so, than tbe one to which It took Its,
portunlty of reviving the swashbuck
ling hero, the lovely princess and the
royal courts of bygone days. The book
is written In the best style of Sir.
MncGrath. Accounted one of the
ablest writers of fiction, he has. In this
novel displayed a marvelous Insight In
his knowledge of . European courts.
Mythical, yes, bur containing all the
halo of romance. Thoroughly up to
dato in period. It nevertheless harks
back to . the sixteenth century, its lo
cale being a duchy in the Austrian
Tyrole and which, even in these lat
ter days, retains many of tho ideas of
hundreds.of years back.
As in the book, tbe personages in the
play are of a most contrasting char
acter. One moment we feast our eyes
upon Gretchen, the goose girl, then
upon the psuedo vintner. In reality
tbe king of Jugendheit. We next are
Introduced-to Carmichael, the chlval
rous American consul, who throughout
the play comes In closo contact with
Hildegarde, princess of tho realm. We
then make the acquaintance of Frau
Bauer, an able dispenser of lines, with
al a sterling character; then In rapid
succession, the Grand Duke of Ehren-
steln, the premier, the old clock mend
er. the prince regent of Jugendheit, tho
villainous captain of the guards, etc.;
In fact, a kaleidoscopic array of char
acters all of whom are a necessity to
the play, as they were In the book. It
Is said Mr. Baker has ably transferred
to the boards this well known work of
the author. There is no doubt of Its
having "caught on" in other cities, and
it is the hope of the management that
playgoers of Atlanta will see in its
presentation an' effort to please their
aste for wholesome dramatic plays.
Tho cast is a creditable one, the char-
acters of Gretchen and Carmichael be
ing upheld by Miss Virginia Ackerman
and Victor Sutherland, respectively.
They are ably surrounded by a good
acting organisation, which Is augment
ed by a production second to none in
the dramatic field.
Rev. Mr. Richeson’s Attorneys
Have Decided on That Plea
to Save His Life.
Boston, Nov, 2.—John L. Lee, the
noted Virginia lawyer, who camo to
Boston to defend Rev. Clarence V. T.
Rlcheson, Indicted for tho murder of
his former fiancee and a singer In his
church choir, after a visit to the clergy
man tn the Charles-et. Jail, mode this
statement today:
“I have had a long talk with Mr.
Rlcheson and I am confident of hts In
nocence and that he will be acquitted
of the chargo against him. As the trial
proceeds the people of New England
will learn facts about this case that
have not come out as yet. These facts
can only be disclosed properly at the
trial.
"I have had a talk with Mr. Grant
Edmands, the father of Miss Violet Ed-
mands, to whom Mr. Richeson is en
gaged. Mr. Edmands believes-in the
innocence of the clergyman and will
stick to him to the end."
Attorneys Lee and Philip R. Dunbar
began their work today of building up
the defense of Rlcheson with which
they will support the plea of not guilty
that will be entered next Monday when
the accused clergyman Is arraigned.
Rlcheson's lawyers will ■ concentrate
ther efforts along two lines of defense.
Their first contention will be that Rich
eson never gave Avis Llnnell any poi
son, and they will defy tho prosecution
to prove it. Tho second line of defense
will be that Avis Llnnell took the cya
nide of potassium knowingly, but took
an overdose, while she had been in
formed that a small quantity would
benefit her. Her death, it will be claim
ed, was accidental.
