MESS'SONGS
STOP NEAR-PANIC
Burning Fuse Alarms Forsyth
Audience. But Lillian Shaw
Brings Quiet Back.
Music—meaning the classic stuff —
may have power to soothe the savage,
breast, but it takes up-to-the-minute
Viddish ragtime to put the finishing
touches to a theater panic. This was
demonstrated last night at the Forsyth
when Lillian Shaw, the singing com
edienne, prevented a stampede when a
r use of the spotlight in the balcony
blew out.
Wherefore. Miss Shaw's friends are
making very much of a heroine of her
today, and unless plans mdde by the
enthusiasts fall down she will be given
a regulation levee by the “fire suf
ferers” when she appears to sing her
life-saving Yiddisher ragtime tonight.
Song Allays Fright of Audience.
Miss Shaw was in the midst of her
second song last night when the spot
light in the balcony flared up suddenly
■nd began belching sntoke like a blast
furnace. Down in the orchestra people
looked around, saw the smoke and fire,
and got out of the!" seats preparatory
for a rush to the door. In the balcony,
■doser to the blazing spotlight, the peo
ple were already hurrying toward the
exits, and some were crying out in
fright.
Mis.-. Shaw saw that the theater was
upon the very verge of a panic. Step
ring to the footlights, the actress mo
timed to the orchestra leader to con
■nue playing the refrain of her song,
“’hen she shouted to the frightened au
dience :
"Now. everybody >it down. This Is
no fire. I'm still here and we’re all go
ing to .-lay. for the next verse of this
>ong is a pippin."
Tin* calmness and assumed ear' -
lessness of the actress helped out her
reassuring smile, and the audience sank
hack into its scats again.
Second Flai'e-up Adds to Disorder.
Rut a second flare-up of the spotlight
threw several women into another flut
ter and once again a few of the most
timorous cried out and moved again
toward the doors. Rut by now the
ushers had come to the aid of Miss
Shaw. Manning th- fire exits, they
cried out that v there was no danger:
that only a fuse had burned out, and
that a fire in the theater was impossi
ble, anyway.
Then Mips Shaw played her trump
Here goes for that third verse," she
i ailed across the footlights, and with
the orchestra to help her site dashed
Into the rollicking Yiddisher rag again.
The audience listened to her to the
finish. When she was done the,smoke
had disappeared. While Miss Shaw
made her change Cliff Gordon assured
lite audience she was coming back.

Girl Who Has Cared for Hun
dreds of Foundling Puppies
Now Owns Regular Dog.
Since 16-year old Aline Fielder was
big enough to toddie she has kept her
family busy driving away the stray,
homeless dogs that she'd bring home.
763 West Peachtree street, from her
daily walk or drive.
James M Fielder, her father, heaxi of
the firm of Fielder & Alien, told a
Georgian reporter today that, he'd bet
Aline had tried to domicile 200 dogs
on him in the last five years. It got so
bad at one time that the family w’ould
have a servant waiting at the gate to
receive the- strays the pretty girl was
sure to pick up on her walks. This
servant had instructions to furnish
Aline’s newest waif with a substantial
meal and a shake down for the night.
Then he was ordered to take it to a
ehap whom Mr. Fielder subsidized to
give a home to the young girl’s col
lection. It is said this man is waxing
opulent and has one of the most cu
rious dog farms in the country.
Now She Has a Regular Dog.
But though her tender heart was cer
tain to bring to light an average of at
least one foundling pup a day, Aline
never had a real, regular dog of her
own until she went visiting to Athens.
Ga.. a couple of weeks ago. Down
t here she was out motoring with a com
pany of friends w’hen a handsome col
lie pup dashed across the road in front
of the speeding machine and raced it
for half a mile before finally disap
pearing down a. side street.
The motoring schedule was aban
doned then and there, upon the per
emptory orders of young Miss Fielder.
The machine was turned about and
sent in search of that collie, and though
it took all day. the girl found the
dog. bought it al u prohibitive price,
and brought it home.
It is the collie in the picture. Its
name is Sport and for the first time
since she began gathering stray dogs
Miss Fielder has lost interest in the
vagabonds to lavish constant affection
upon the Athens beauty.

Atlanta “Peaches" Are Called Lazy
GIRLS URGED TO SWIM
Are Atlanta girls, the pride of the
South, listless and lazy?
Mrs. W. B. McKcrall. of 140 Cres*
cent avenue, an exponent of swim
ming as the preservative of perennial
youth, thinks so and doesn't hesitate
to express her opinion. And worse
than that. Mrs. McKerall says they are
at most times uninteresting and—this
really can’t be true —silly!
To tell the truth, Mrs. McKerall in
sinuated ever so gently that the far
famed peaches Atlanta has been so
proud of might be—bit. it's really too
cruel to repeat.
Piedmont Fount of Youth.
All these terrible things came out in
a talk by Airs. McKerall on the bene
fits of swimming for w'omen. She has
discovered that the lake at Piedmont
park Is the fountain of youth and
wants the, women and girls of Atlanta
to know’ it. but she's a wee bit afraid
they won't get there unless somebody
takes them out in an automobile. For
Mrs. McKerall is sure the Atlanta
girl's greatest joy is an afternoon in
a buzz wagon.
“If the girls of the city were not so
lazy and insipid they would go to the
lake more often," she declared.
“They could receive a world of ben
efits there, but instead they disregard
all matters of health and physical de
velopment just for the sake of a few
hours in an automobile spinning around
town or sitting on a porch where peo
ple passing nn the street may see
them.
Season Now Is Opportune.
“Os course it is all right to do either,
but excess in that is just like other
excesses—degenerating—and it is wmn
derful how far It is carried in At
lanta.
“Girls don't care for swimming, they
will not exert themselves enough to
play golf: they never cared for horse
back riding, nor will they do any of
the things most young people in other
cities are delighted to lake up. Not
taking the proper amount of outdoor

ANGLIN FREE Os
ONE OF CHARGES
Atlanta Conductor on Trial in
Macon for Attacking Father
in-Law and Jester.
MACON. GA., June 12.—John T. An
lin, of Atlanta, was found not guilty of
pointing a pistol at Ira Bradshaw, his
father-in-law. In city court today, the
jury remaining out only ten minutes.
He is now on trial for assault and bat
tery on W. R. Jester, an Atlanta mer
chant, whom he beat severely after
finding Jester in Mrs. Anglin’s compa
ny in Macon, following a continent
wide pursuit.
Upon the disposition of this second
case, Anglin will be arraigned for car
rying a concealed pistol and for hav
ing a pistol without a license. J. W.
Hili, of Atlanta, is a witness for the
state in these cases.
Relations Only Friendly.
Both Hill and Jester declared on the
stand that their relations with Mrs.
Anglin were merely friendly and pa
ternal. as she seemed a daughter to
them. They said that their families
had been intimately associated with
Mrs. Anglin, and her father ever since
she was a baby.
Jester swore this awernoon upon the
second trial that he did meet Mrs. An
glin in San Francisco, but only for the
purpose of helping her find her mother,
whom she had not seen in 20 years.
Trans-Continental Chase.
The testimony disclosed that Angiin,
a Pullman conductor, married Miss
Mamie Bradshaw, of Atlanta, and took
her to El Paso, Texas, to live. Three
months later, she returned to Atlanta
and stayed four months, going out with
Jester often during that period. She
then returned to Anglin and stayed with
him a month, then going to California.
Anglin, in his statement on the stand,
said he followed her to San Francisco,
and found that she and Jester had
stayed at the same hotel. He said he
then pursued his wife and Jester across
the continent, and finally located them
in Macon.
After attacking Jester on the street
upon meeting him with Mrs. Anglin,
the defendant said he followed the cou
ple to a boarding house, where he
found that Ira Bradshaw, his father-in.
law. was also staying. A fight oc
curred between the two, and Anglin
was alleged to ifeve attempted to shoot
his father-in-law. It was on this in
dictment that he was first tried. An
glan told the jury that he had employed
counsel in Atlanta to bring suit against
Jester for $20,000 damages for aliena
tion of his wife’s affections.
