COURT PROTECTS
FITCH CHILDREN
-
Creditors Can Not Attach Prop
erty of Man Disappearing
After Suicide Threat.
After threatening to kill himself be
cause he could not borrow money to
pay an indebtedness on a house at 196
Bellwood avenue, Hosea W. Fitch, fore
man for Lane Bros., disappeared from
Xtlanta Sunday, leaving his affairs to
>e disposed of by superior court.
J. A. York, acting for Fitch’s two
hildren, went before Superior Judge
Pendleton today and asked that a re
eiver be appointed for Fitch’s affairs,
and that his creditors be restrained
from making attachments on the prop
>rty until the matter could be settled in
the interest of tiie children.
Fork, in tiling suit through Bell &
Gliis, asserted that Fitch had been de
spondent of late because he had been
unable to raise $678.80 to pay off ma
terial claims on his Bellwood street
property, York told the court that the
house had been built only recently, and
was worth $3,500. He said that Fitch
tad threatened to kill himself or “leave
the country.”
Judge Pendleton nam&d Albert Boyls
ton receiver for Fitch’s affairs, and
granted' a temporary order restraining
the creditors from executing liens
against the property until the case had
been heard.

James Harrison, aged 84 years, of ku

Ex-Star, Stricken With Grouch, Flees Atlanta
SMOKE ROUTS SEMBRICH
Mme. Marcella Sembrich’s ingrowing
temperament cheated her out of an ex
cellent bunch of gate money in Atlanta,
in spite of the cold fact that the ad
vance sale of seats wasn’t enough to
pay gas bills. And if Mme. Sembrlch,
speeding toward Cincinnati today for a
concert in that beer and music-loving
city, knew how she had overlooked a
bet the Pullman porter would be hiding
under the seats to escape the overflow
of that once-star’s aforesaid tempera
ment. For almost everybody at the
Georgian Terrace and out Peachtree
way had decided to go hear Sembrlch
and take in the oabaret show after
ward, each being considered rather a
novelty.
The former songbird’s temperament
began developing shooting pains short
ly after her arrival in Atlanta Saturday
afternoon. She didn’t like the weather
and she didn't like the wall paper in
her apartments. The bell hop’s voice
was off the “key and the club
sent up a bottle of beer which had been
too long off the ice. She didn’t like the
people she saw on the streets and she
didn’t like the way her new gown fitted
across the back. Her left shoe pinched
her toe and the woman she met in the
tea room insisted on calling her Sem
week-end trip to Covington, made in
Mr. Wilson’s touring car. They were
guests of Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Adams
during their visit.
A party of young people going to
Athens Thanksgiving day for the foot
ball game and the cotillion which fol
lows in the evening will Include Misses
Martine McCullouch, of Kentucky; Rose
Briscoe, of Knoxville; Helen Hawkins
and Annie Lee McKenzie, Mr. and Mrs.
Forrest Adair, Jr., and Messrs. Milton
Dargan. Dozier Lowndes and James
Hines.
brick instead of the more euphonious
Som-brree. And, worst of all, she didn't
like the smoke. That smoke came in
the windows and .soiled her collars and
choked her expansive lungs and her ex
pensive throat. It looked like a total
eclipse on a foggy day, and it wasn't
sterilized. Perhaps Mme. Som-brree
might have rallied her courage and
borne even a bum box sale, but she
couldn’t swallow the smoke and be hap
py. So at 5 o’clock on the evening of
her concert she packed her grips, sum
moned her maid and sent a hurry call
for a taxi to the train.
It wasn’t the first time that a concert
soprano had called off an Atlanta date
after reading the sales sheet and seeing
mighty few seats taken in advance.
Mme. Gadski, a favorite in the Metro
politan company, came South for a
concert a season or so ago, took a
glance at the seat sale and threw a fit.
Five minutes afterward her .physicians
diagnosed it as tonsolitis or refriger
ated tootsies, and she blew the town in
disgust.
Manager Russell Bridges, of the Alk
ahest Lyceum bureau, tried hard to
convince the former star that it was
her duty to carry out her contract, even
if nobody were there but two deaf and
dumb enthusiasts, the janitor and the
program boy. But argument was of no
avail.
“But why should we be expected to
pay *2 a seat to hear one soprano
whose voice may be more interesting
as a relic than as a tone producer?" say
Atlanta music lovers today. “We pay
only $5 to hear the whole Metropolitan
company. Atlanta has paid its money
to hear several of these ex-stars of the
opera in recent years, and usually it
found out the real reason why the ‘ex’
went before the star.”

In the schedule changes on the
Southern railway which became effec
tive yesterday and today, Atlanta was
given a new train, to be operated daily
between Cincinnati and Jacksonville
and to be known as the “Ohio-Florldr
Special.” Southbound, this train will
leave Cincinnati at 11:20 a. m., arrive
Atlanta 2:55 a. m., leave Atlanta 3:05
а. tn., arrive Jacksonville 12:45 p. m.
The trains are to handle most mod
ern day coaches, Pullman sleeping cars.
Southern railway dining cars and wil'
be operated on fast schedule, making
but few stops between Cincinnati and
Jacksonville.
In addition to the Ohio-Florida Spe
cial, Southern railway trains Nos. 5 and
б, known as "Florida Special," hereto
fore operated between Cincinnati and
Macon, have been extended and will be
operated solidly between Cincinnati and
Jacqsonville during the winter months.
The schedule between Atlanta and Cin
cinnati will remain the same
The Chicago-Florida Limited, trains
Nos. 13. and 14, will continue on the
same schedules, with the exception that
train No. 14 will arrive at Jacksonville
at 8:40 a. m. instead of 8:30 a. in.
The Kansas City-Florida Special,
known as trains Nos. 23 and 24, will
continue on the same schedule, with
the exception that train No. 24, leaving
Atlanta at 9:30 p. in,, will arrive in
Jacksonville at 7:40 a. m. Instead of
8 a. m.
Both the Chicago-Florida Limited
and the Kansas City-Florida Special
trains are ail year round trains, but it
has been found necessary to increase
the equipment on them and extend the
Pullman lines in order to properly ac
commodate the increased travel which
they carry.
The schedules of Southern railway
trains have been arranged so that they
connect at Jacksonville with trains for
Florida points, Key West and Cuba.

AT THE THEATERS
TWO FEATURE ACTS ON
GRANO GILL. MAKE HIT
,Iuliet(?) and the Shillings, sharpshoot
ers, are the two acts which make Hie
bill at the Grand worth while. The
charming little comedienne, who is noted
on tiie New York stage as the cleverest
impersonator ever seen there, has a num
ber of delightful character songs, which
are exceedingly well done. The last thing
she does is a rapid fire imitation of a
dozen famous actors and actresses, of
which the only fault to be found is its
brevity. Many jieople who know the
fame of Juliet's impersonations wished lor
more of these imitations of famous people
rather than the character songs; or may
be, in addition to the character songs—
for the little lady’s act was not long
enough to satisfy her audience, though
she claimed to be so worn out that
''really, she could not do another thing!”
< lhis was the little curtain speech in
sisted upon l>y Juliet’s admirers.)
Tiie Shillings have the cleverest shoot
ing act ever seen here. Their work is
truly marvelous, and, in some instances,
is rather too thrilling for a nervous per
son to enjoy very much.
Another act out of the ordinary Is the
'hounding gymnasts." billed as the three
Escardos, who give a' line exhibition, full
of grace and movement.
Kate Elinore and Sam Williams pleased
a large part of last night's audience. La-
Tosca and company give a musical act
with some effect.ve numbers, and the bill
Is completed with a rattier long drawn
out playlet by Torn Nawn and company,
and an offering of songs, dances and near-
Jokes by Mullen and Coogan.

“MERELY MARY ANN" THE
EMMA BUNTING OFFERING
For the first time since it was played
here seyeral years ago at the Grand,
"Merely Mary Ann," the comedy drama
the title role of which was created by
Eleanor Robson, was the offering of Miss
Emma Bunting and her supporting play
ers, last night, at the Forsyth, arid was
well received by a splendid audience.
The title role, in which Miss Bunting
is seen, is one which she adapts her
self to readily, and a very creditable pre
sentation is made.
This play gives Miss Bunting and Mr.
Whitaker the chance to play opposite
each other, and the pretty little story of
heart interest gives these two principal
characters ample opportunity to display
all their skill ip acting.
The support of Miss Bunting is very
good, and "Merely Mary Ann" blds fair
to become one of the favorites of tiie
winter stock presentations.
It will be produced nightly all week,
and today. Thursday (Thanksgiving day)
and Saturday at matinees.
