I just love re porters. Don’t step on Hinky-Din ky-Zoo, my pet Madagascar poodle. He was given me by the Umghat of Sisaboomah after seeing me dane-- the woola-wuola. What is my favorite color? Long green. < >h, let me hurry on and answer ill the usual questions. I lik< my eggs fried on the lower side; I think kimonos are lovely; I’m a suffragette, but never broke a win dow* my favorite jewel is a cluster of solitaire diamonds, and I think motoring is tine; I've never been up in an airship, but here are some late photos of me sitting in one and looking happy; yes. I’m glad Wilson was elected, for I'm a staunch Democrat when I'm on the Southern tour: yes, I think South, -■rn women ar-- the prettiest and th* brightest and Atlanta is the great est city I know, and I'd rather play here than anywhere—is that enough That’s til- kind of an interview Miss Mamie Adams might have given out if she had given an;, .it all —but she didn’t. It is on- of the traditions of Charles I’rohman's organization that Miss Ad ams mustn’t be Interviewed. It is the principal duty of her manager, her maid and the call boy to form a cordon around her boudoir and See that she isn’t interviewed. <me of the most common sights of a Maude Adams tour Is the horde of an gry newspaper men and women, pushed back to the curb by the mounted po lic< squad and weeping bitterly as they aie balked of their anticipated inter views. There is a legend that one in genuous reporter disguised himself as a cup of tea and succeeded in gaining •ntrame to her private dining room. But There's the Manager! “Hon many lumps, please?” asked the waiter. “Three,” replied Miss Ad ams. Throwing off his disguise the reporter rushed to catch the waiting presses. But tile manager seized him as he ran and hissed into his ear: “Dare to put Miss Adams’ statement in quote marks and Mr. Frohman will deny it and your paper will be ruined and you cast out to starve.” And the reporter didn't. That hap pened in Kansas City and afterward in Louisville, Detroit ana Charlotte, N. where the press agent was getting an explosion from every cylinder and the papers were easy marks. The mysterious part of it is that no body knows the reason why Miss Ad urns will not be Interviewed. Can it be that her lawyers—but no! Every day in the lit- of Maude Adams since the evening she made her stage debut in a soup plate in Salt Lake City at the age of nine months is known to the public. There can be no fear of her dark and mysterious past being divulged by care less speech. No! The reason is—Mr. Frohman's orders. Manager Williams HIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1912. who has counted the cash for Mis* Adams for live seasons, merely shakes his head and replies: “Mr. Frohman has Instrutced me to I say Miss Adams can not be interviewed. That Is all I can say. I port advice of counsel, I decline to answer. Thank you. Good-morning.” She Once Wrote About Her Work. But once upon a time Maude Adams wyote an article for a magazine and in this she expressed the revolutionary and incendiary opinion that the public really didn’t care a continental about what an actress wore to breakfast or how she fixed her hair, or whether her summer farm was on Long Island or in Breathitt county, Kentucky. Her opin ion was that the public likes actresses because they can act. She was willing to write something about her plays and which roles she liked best, but when it came to the sad, sweet story of her in ner life 'she begged to ring down the curtain. And it may be that she is right about it. Perhaps there has never been a play, er of the prominence of Maude Adams about whom there has been so little Said in the newspapers and magazines beyond matters relating solely to her work on the stage. Perhaps no other actress of her popularity has -so seldom been seen off stage by her admirers. Did you ever hear of Maude Adams taking tea with friends in Atlanta or being seen at the ball game, or taking a ride in somebody’s motor car? Neither have we. She arrives in her private car, goes to her hotel apart ments, appears at her performance and goes back to the hotel. Fears Being Lionized. If she goes driving for fresh air, there’s no brass band leading the pro cession and nobody knows it but herself and her companions. And it doesn’t seem to be haughtiness. Could you imagine Maude Adams being haughty? The few who have really met her and chatted with her say it is rather shy ness. She appears to be conscious of being lionized and she doesn't like it. Manager Williams says the revival of i "Peter Pan" this season was made in response to the public desire; that everywhere Miss Adams went with “What Every Woman Knows” the the atergoers kept asking: "When is she to play ‘Peter Pan’ again? My little girl Is old enough to go to the theater now. and 1 want her to see it.” And as Mr. Barrie hadn’t written anything else this year, except a half-dozen one-act plays, Mr. Frohman decided to put on "Peter Pan" again, and found it just as I popular as in its first season. It has been five years since "Peter” was seen in Atlanta, and the audience last night, the biggest the new theater has ever ■ known, showed that the Barrie classic ' was a popular choice, or perhaps the same crowd would have been there if Maude, Adams had been playing a dramatization of the state geological report, for Maude Adams herself Is I enough, despite the remark of Mr. ■ Shakespeare that "The play’s the . thing." But Shakespeare died before the star system was in vogue. BUBNEOCONVENT TO BE REOPENED Classes Will Be Resumed at St. Josephs Academy, First of Coming Year.

It is here now—for you to see and try. For nearly a quarter of a century the Stevens-Duryea has exercised a distinguished ffe: leadership in originating and developing the vital and fundamental points in a motor car. This is recognized through imitation by makers of others cars, and is proved by the present high money-value of Stevens-Duryea used cars and by the fact that, whereas many cars of twice the price have passed out of use, the Stevens-Duryeas of p many years ago are among the most useful and valuable cars today. jjT And now, with its njew C-Six, the Stevens-Duryea carries its leadership into new fields. Just as in the past, it has set new standards of mechanical perfection, so, in the new C-Six, the Stevens-Duryea has gone so far ahead of the rest of the motor-car world in beauty of outline; its provisions for ease and convenience; in quietness; in complete i J equipment for the operation of the car and enjoyment by its passengers; and, on top of § U U all this, has made such strides in the development of active power, that it may proper- | ly be called an entirely new kind of car.
