SUMMER FUN FOR THEATER LOVERS Lyric To Be Reopened Soon. Forsyth and Bijou Will Not Shut Doors. Atlartta theatergoers will not have to suffer for amusement during the sum mer. for it has been about determined to open the Lyric, the Wells theater on Carnegie way, within the next' two weeks, for vaudeville at a popular scale of prices. The Forsyth will also be operated th’rough the summer months with the same standard of vaudeville that has kept it crowded at all per formances. In addition to this ar rangement the Bijou will be continued, but with a great improvement in its bookings and a number of decided In novations. Since the close of the Lyric thres weeks ago General Manager Jake Wells in New York has been weighing the situation. It was the first period since the dedication six years ago that the house has been dark. There was no class of entertainment suited for the house possible to secure at that time, for it has been demonstrated that no dramatic stock company without Emma Bunting could live here, and Miss Bunt ing had been assigned to another place. Mr. Wells has been in daily conference with the vaudeville powers, ever since the close of the house, and arrange ments have just been perfected with the United Booking offices—the Keith offices —to supply the Lyric with vaude ville. Mr. Wells will announce the opening within a few days’. At the same time arrangements were made to book the Bijou by the Western Vaudeville Managers association, with headquarters in Chicago, and some of the best acts from the Orpheum circuit will be seen there.

Newman of the Federal court hears on June 10 next the case of "The United States versus 32.000 acres of land. N. W. and Andrew Gennett and others,” and rules that all claims against the ten thousand titles involved are settled, it w-ili mark the beginning of a tremendous forest re serve in north Georgia, the conserva tion of a tract equal in area to an aver age county, and the establishment of a government forestry service with a chief inspector and a Hundred forest rangers. And it will mark the climax in the fortunes of two young Southern men who have in one year built up a fortune of a'clean half-million dollars from a nest egg of a few thousands. The case w hich comes up next month in the Federal court is a "friendly” suit, designed to establish the title of purchasers and sellers to a tract of 32,000 acres of forest land In the mountains of north Georgia, most of it in Fannin county, with a part in Union, Gilmer and Lumpkin counties. It has been bought in the past two years by the two Gennetts, and the titles have been • cleared by intricate tracing of ancient grants, the settlement of myriad claims and the winning of many suits at law. The government has called upon more than 1.000 persons to come forward on June 10 and estab lish any claim they may have to any portion of these lands or "forever after hold their peace.” None of the thou sand is expected to appear, and the suit is a mere formality. But when it is over the nation, through the forest bu reau of the agricultural department, will pay the two Gennetts $225,000 for their tract of 32,000 acres. The depart ment contemplates the purchase of oth er tracts in the same section, some from the Gennetts and some from other owners, which will bring the Georgia reserve up to 200,000 acres, a tract about the size of Towns county, in which part of the land is situated. Bought Tract For Speculation. But the "human Interest” side .of the forestry purchase is Sound in the history of the two young men who sold it. Andrew Gennett is 37 years old and Nat W. Gennett is only 33. Andrew was graduated from Cumberland uni versity, in Tennessee, and admitted to the bar. The younger man entered the lumber business in a small way, join ing a firm in Nashville, their home. Both were slight in build and Andrew’s health was failing under the strain of office work and confinement. The brothers were not poor, even in those days. They had a capital of sev eral thousand dollars left them by their father. They decided to go into the woods, where they might find health at THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: WEDNESDAY. MAY 15. 1912 least, and perhaps wealth as well. They found both. The two young city men have lived the life of the lumberman for ten years. They cleaned out several timber tracts in the Carolinas, and two years ago they invaded the mountains in north Georgia. Here they purchased more than 40,000 acres of timber lands, more with a view to future enhancement of values than for immediate operations. The government had its eye .on the tract, but its agents arrived on the scene only to find that the two young timber operators held the titles. They began negotiations more than a year ago, and the deal which will be closed next month will mean a profit of many thousands to the Gennetts. for they bought cheaply and ' the government pays well. When the sale is made they will have a clean half-million, all gained in ten years from a capital of a few thousand invested by two strangers in a strange business. Call of the Woods Must Be Obeyed. "I have been in Atlanta several weeks,” said Andrew Gennett, in his office in the Empire building, "and al ready I am feeling the call of the woods. I am restless in the city, ill at ease. I can't breathe the air which rises from asphalt streets; I can not sleep in the close rooms of the hotels. When this deal is closed I'm going back into the woods—-back to buy more tim ber lands, to live in the open again. Nat is up there now . w earing-high boots and flannel shirts and riding through the forest, and. I'm anxious to join him.” "You boys have made a\ wonderful success,” suggested a friend, enviously, Mr. Gennett smiled, but there was a trace of sadness in the curve of the lips. “I suppose so,” he returned. “I ought not to complain, for we have made more than we could have expect ed. and gained health as well as money. But sometimes I think we have lost a great deal..too. We have lost the con tact with our fellows, the acquaintance of women.'the polish w’hich comes from close association with the people of one’s own type. We feel mighty lonely in the woods sometimes.” "You might retire now and w in back all of those things," suggested his friend. The smile was whimsical this time. "I'm afraid not,” said the young woodsman. "Thf mountains are calling —the smell of fresh cut timber, the trout streams and the saddle are too stron'g a lure. I’m afraid we couldn’t come back to the. city to stay. The woods gave us all we asked, and now the woods are claiming ourselves in return. We’ll have to stick to the mountains.” PATRIDTISM NOW IN GALVIN GREED Presbyterian General Assembly Urges Prayers for Country and Honest Officials. LOUISVILLE. KY..

NOTIONS OF PEOPLE ABOUT HYDROPHOBIA NEARLY ALL WRONG CHICAGO, May '22.—Most of the popular notions about mad dogs are called fallacies, in an article by Dr. James Gordon Cumming, director of the Pasteur institute of the Univer sity of Michigan, in The Journal of the American Medical Association. That rabid dogs always froth at the mouth, that dogs develop rabies from lack of water, that dogs are more like ly” to contract rabies in hot weather than in cold, that dogs afflicted w’ith hydrophobia are afraid of w-ater, are some of the popular notions which Dr. Cumming declares are all wrong. "We find only in the human subject the dread of an attempt to drink wa ter,” the physician says. "A rabid dog w’ill attempt to drink water even though the act induces a spasm of the deglutltory muscles.” A rabid dog seldom froths at Ute mouth, according to Dr. Cumming, whereas in a canine with fits there is profuse frothing. The "dog-day theo ry” is disproved, he says, by the num ber of winter cases. AGE 98. HE REFUSES BEFORE OPERATION TO TAKE PAIN KILLER SEATTLE. WASH., May 22.—Thom as A.
