4 SMOKE BOARD 15 GIVENMORETIME Commission Promises Change of Its Reactionary Attitude at Meeting This Afternoon. Leaders of the crusade against smoko ' have their attention centered on the: meeting of the smoke commission this afternoon at 4 o'clock, for the eommi.s slon has promised to redeem itself from , a reactionary attitude in the smoke I war. Councilman Charles W. Smith said | he Intended to wait until after the meeting to urge the adoption of his ordinance abolishing the commission. Chairman R. M. U.t v.-i: said he would definitely put the commission on record this afternoon, but that he had little hope of it being put on record in the right way. Commissioner Oscar Elsas has in sisted that if the assailants of the com mission would wait until after the meeting this afternoon they would not be so vigorous in their condemnation of the commission MINISTER IN OVERALLS WORKS AS RAILWAY HAND MUSKOGEE, OKLA , Nov. 12. -The Rev. George C. Aydelott, pastor of the First Christian church In Muskogee, got in close touch with the every-day lite of railroad men the other day by putting on overalls and Jumper and re porting for a day's work with the rip track gang at the Midland Valley rail road shops. "1 am not doing it as an experiment or to court publicity." Aydelott ex plained. “It is Just that I used to be a workingman myself and I like to get in close touch with the boys occasionally just as I visit the office workers in their offices sometimes." AT THE THEATERS PRETTY GIRLS AND RICH COSTUMES IN "MISS NOBODY” Although ’ Miss Noho.lv From Starland’’ drags considerably in the llrst act, its second act, revealing that mysterious place generally designated "behind the scenes. ’ redeems the faults of the intro ductory very much, and kept the audi ence at the Atlanta last night laughing heartily. And although most of the songs arc old, the rich costumes which envelop lightly the very pretty girls about twen ty of them—combined with the willing ness of the girls to dance and sing goes very much further in the redemption. Miss Olive Vail as the Miss Nobody, who seeks an "angel" to lift her from the ranks of the chorus into the realms of a star, has a splendid voice, but few chances to display it, hence she is very much at a disadvantage Her song, "1 Gave My Heart Away For a Roae,' was well received Miss Jessie Maker, a radiantly beauti ful little girl, who wears rich, filmy cos tumes, and who dances (or, rather, floats) with an indescribable grace, was the real favorite with last night s audience. She has only two real opportunities, in the first and last acts, anti she was kept busy answering encores, and did so with ah evident relish. She plays an obscure part of an Italian girl, and her languidly grace ful dancing titled the part exactly. "Miss Nobody From Starland " Is far from a great show, but It should not be judged by Its first act. Ere the second act was well on Its way last night, the audience was mirthful!) forgetful of Its opener. Here matinee today and tonight. HENRY E. DIXEY IS HEAD OF STAR BILL AT GRAND Henry E.
