Uptown Drug Stores
Don 't Sell Stamps
To the Editor: Why don’t the uptown
drug stores sc.l st tnips to their eusto-j
nwrs? Os course there's no direct
profit in them and there’s an occasional

o’' there's’ no direct profit in electric

customers into a store and make them

When I want a stamp I must walk
four blocks to a “sub-station" or clear

of cigars and soft "drinks front a drug
store every day. but whenever I ask for

The Kickers Editor thinks this man

Where's the Famous

To tin Editor: The Sunny South is I
a snare and a delusion. Where is the

Sunny South—huh—cloudy South:

Well, well! Is this slur to be toler

fame if it boa fact that we haven't
had our share of sunshine.

Wiila Holt Wakefield, former
Atlanta jxirl who is the Forsyth's
headliner next week.
FORMER ATLANTA GIRL
IS FEATURE AT FORSYTH
Wiila Holt Wakefield, a former At
lanta girl, who has become one of the
greatest stars in vaudeville, will be the
star of the bill at the busy Forsyth
for the week that commences with
matinee on Monday, and because of her
social connections and because of her
rare ability as an entertainer, it is as
sumed that he Forsyth is going to be
more - crowded than usual at its daily
matinee and evening performances.
Miss Wakefield did not have any
great trouble in joining the' headline
forces. Almost as soon as she was in
troduced she was accepted as a star,
and after appearing in all the leading
vaudeville theaters in the East, was
given contracts for a long tour abroad,
and her success there almost eclipsed
the triumphs at home.
The Atlanta, girl was one of the first
to adopt the pianologue idea. She
used a piano on the stage to accom
pany herself, and the idea was so orig
inal and novel that others accepted the
plan, and today there are any number
of entertainers using the Wakefield
plan.
Miss Wakefield has a number of ex
clusive songs and comedy recitations,
and has never in her professional life
failed in the slightest degree to live up
to her reputation as one of the world’s
best vaudeville stars.
Some More Singing.
Horace Wright and Rene Dietrich,
"the somewhat different singers," will
be another of the feature acts. This is
one of the cleverest acts of the sort
that an Atlanta audience has ever ap
plauded. It was one of the big suc
cesses of the Orpheum, and its appear
ance at this time will be more than
welcome. Wright possesses a beauti
ful singing voice and his character
songs have been the hit of many pro
grams. His pretty partner is one of
the most charming entertainers, and
the act is surely a-real feature. Max's
Burlesque Circus will be a drawing
card, because it is . unlike any other
act of its sort. Trained animals are
used in the offering, and there are
comedians who have made the English
audiences laugh as heartily as a New
York or Atlanta gathering, One of the
events of the act will be the introduc
tion of an unridable mule.
Frank As dell and company will pre
sent the now popular suffragette idea
in a sketch. The .success of “In 1999”
last week has demonstrated that the lo
cal theategoers have interest in the
idea, and this little company of players
will offer a satire on the subject that is
said to be as funny as funny can be.
Il shows the rman bossing the man,
and it has met with marked success in
Eastern cities.

be one of the most pleasing' stars the
vaudeville season has brought here. He
is a gifted and original young man and
of that caliber that always makes
friends.
The Langdons eompanj in an ab
surd comedy creation and Macßae and
Levering, the bicycle experts, are on
the bill. The Forsyth is equipped with
a splendid cooling plant and is as com
fortable in warm weather as when the
winter season is on.
Mabel Taliaferro Coming.
Mabel Taliaferro, the original "Polly
of the Circus," who is now one of the
highest salaried and one of the most
pleasing entertainers in vaudeville, v ill
head the vaudeville program at tin
Forsyth for the week of June 3. pre
senting a Japanese playlet that is out
of the ordinary.
ANOTHER FINE BILL
IS BOOKED FOR BIJOU
Probably the most successful week
in the history of the vaudeville at the
Bijou will be brought to a close to
night. The week is remarkable, not
only on account of the attendance, but
also from the splendid acts, which arc
undoubtedly the very best that have
eVer been offered at this house.
Dainty Margaret Ryan & Company
and her charactei changes and the
balloon swing over the audience; Wil
liam Sis to & Company, in a musical
and comedy act, and Morse & Clark,
with their pianologue and singing, and
MJlt Wood, with his clever dancing,
have all combined to make a most in
teresting and pleasing performance.
For next week a splendid program,
consisting of four high-class acts, is
announced, the headliner of which will
be Dr. McDonald, the electrical wizard.
This is an act combining the most in
teresting scientific facts regarding elec
tricity with some popular demonstra
tions that should prove the biggest
kind of a drawing card for the house.
Dr. McDonald has been featured on the
Keith & Proctor circuits, and has head
ed the biggest and most expensive bills
in this country. The booking of such
an act for bargain vaudeville demon
strates beyond a doubt that the man
agement of this house is willing to go
to any expense to furnish its patrons
the very best that can be secured in
the vaudeville line. On the program
will also appear Betty Rubel and Polly
Roberts. Those Two Girls From Ken
tucky. Dressed in the most attractive
costumes, tliej will present on. of the
most charming musical acts of the sea
sor,. Tin n there will he Kl in ■ ami
Hoffman, Gorman comedians who-.
funny dialect work and German paro
dies will keep the audience laughing.
The fourth and last act on the bill will
be Piquo. a comedy juggler, one of
the best in his line, and otic of tin moat
skillful jugglers on the vaudeville stage
today.
After sear.llins the market for the
latest and most perfect picture -croon,
the management of the Bijou has final
ly installed a gold radium screen,

There’s a wide variety
