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. 20 REPORTED DEAD IN WATERS SWEEPING A MOUNTAIN VILLAGE SHERIDAN.

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.
