WOMEN DODGE GAME 1
LAW TO SERVE QUAIL
AT A BENEFIT SUPPER
WAYCROSS, GA., Dec. 10.—A quail i
supper, arranged by a. party of Way
cross women as a benefit for the city
Young Men's Christian association, was
held, but not just as planned, last night
because the state game warden, through
Hal Lambdin. county warden, informed
them that such a supper was in viola
tion gs the state game law.
However, not to be outdone by a
state law, the supper, with quail, was
served free of cost, and >1 voluntary
offering taken from those attending. It
is thought that as much money was
realized as would have been had the
state game warden not interfered with
the original plans.
of the Confederate soldiers that they
should turn a woman out of office be
cause her husband was an appointee
under a Republican administration, and
I hope that you gentlemen of Georgia
will maintain that splendid standard
which was elevated by men like John
B. Gordon. Henry R. Jackson and ocher
illustrious soldiers from Georgia of the
Confederacy.
"Under these circumstances I am con
strained to ask that for the moment pol
itics be dropped and a needy widow re

! CHIEF WITNESS IN
SLAVERY CASE GIVES
BOND; LEAVES CITY
Genevieve Goddwin. star witness in
the white slave case against Mrs. Em
ma Hudson, was paid by the govern
ment by order of United States Judge
W. T. Newman and today the pretty
nurse leaves Atlanta for Cincinnati.
The young nurse appeared at the
Federal building Saturday to draw her
fees as witness, but was unable to get
any money because of technical details.
' These obstacles were removed by
Judge Newman, and immediately after
drawing her money she declared she
was going to leave the state.
Before leaving she made bond for
$•'00 for her appearance before the
Federal grand jury on January 13. She
will be forced to return to Atlanta at
, that time or forfeit her bond.

i WINSOME WINONA WINTER
IS FEATURE OF GRAND
Winsome Winona Winter is the stellar
attraction at the Grand this week. There
is reason for the adjective apart from
the alliteration, as all who saw her last
evening will testify. Miss Winter has 14"
intention of wearying her audience, for
after her two songs and a clever little
ventriloquist stunt, she refused to give
. an encore, “under the circumstances.”
Just what the circumstances weie no one
knew except Miss Winter, but it is prob
able that she meant because of the ex
ceptionally clever work she had present
ed: and if she did, the audience felt she
was justified. The young woman is very
pretty and looks very young. She is
grace personified and sings In a charm
ing manner. Her ventriloquist act is a
surprise and adds to the interest of her
work. Unlike the majority of young
women singers in vaudeville, this little
Southern girl does not depend on bizarre
dance steps or more bizarre costumes and
quick changes of the same to hold inter
est. She wears a pretty little lacy frock,
which suggests Billie Burke’s costumes,
and does not change, it once. She de
pends on th* excellence of her work, and
she doos not "fall down" on such depend
ence.
A decided hit was made last night at
the Grand by one Butterworth, "the
funny dancer," with his eccentric and
graceful performance.
The trained horse, Don Fulano, pleased
those of the audience who fancy animal
actors —and. judging from the applause
given Don. these are in the majority.
"Billy's Tombstones” is the principal
sketch of the bill, and aroused much
laughter. The sketch is the condensed
and rewritten play of "Billy," presented
here several years ago by Sidney Drew,
and familiar to most of the audience.
It is well acted by a capable company of
five, Edgar Atcheson-Ely taking the part
of Billy.
The Vannoss troupe have a splendid
act of its kind, and Ronair and Ward
give a pleasing little act, called "Pre
senting Ocean Breezes.” A laughable
act, combining illusions and comedy set
down as by Martini and Maxmlllian open
the bill.
"MADAME SHERRY” AT LYRIC
PRICES; AND A RARE TREAT
"Madame Sherry” at Lyric prices.
That is the rare treat patrons of the
, popular low-priced attraction theater are
receiving this week. And a well filled
theater of well pleased people witnessed
the opening performance last night. It's
the same show that set New York agog
five years ago and played to tremendous
“business" all over the country up to now
at regular prices. The same lulling,
haunting melodies; the same “vaudeville '
features; the same stage settings; equally
beautiful and gorgeous costumes; and a
splendid company.
The company playing at the Lyric ac
quits Itself in splendid fashion. Every
role Is acceptably played, and each of the
well known “Madame Sherry” song hits
reaped the same well merited applause
ancl appreciation as of yore.
Miss Relne Dairies plays the part of
Yvonne Sherry, and does splendidly. Her
work of last night in her songs was ren
' dered difficult by a severe sore throat
| and consequent hoarseness, but even with
thia handicap the well known “Birth of
the Butterfly,” "I'm All Right" and "Ser
| enade.” Yvonne’s principal songs, were
| well rendered.
More than passing mention is due Miss
Betty Barnell and Joe Smith Barba in
the ’'Danger Dance,” this famous dance
being given most acceptably. All the
other parts were well handled.
“Madame Sherry” this week at Lyric
; prices is well worth seeing. All the week
nightly and today, Thursday and Satur
i day at matinees.
"THREE OF US” IS LITTLE EMMA
BUNTING’S OFFERING THIS WEEK
Emma Bunting and her players last
night at the Forsyth theater began an
other week of stock, presenting “Three
of Us," a play which gives practically
principal parts to tach of those In the
cast.
Miss Bunting has a part which she
plays with her usual ability, and long be
fore the pretty story had unfolded itself
she had won her way with her new char
acter into the hearts of her audience.
Mr. Whitaker again is seen in a part
which suits him, and between the two
favorites and their excellent support a
fine prospect is held out for a remarka
bly good week's business.
The story is fascinating, and the scenic
and mechanical department has dressed
it well, adding no little to the interest of
the audience.
Performances will be given every night
and at matinees today, Thursday and
Saturday.
••TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE”
ATLANTA'S OFFERING TOMORROW
“The Trail of the Lonesome Pine,”
which is announced to appear at the At
lanta theater for four nights and Thurs
day and Saturday matinees, commencing
Wednesday evening, Is a play that pre
sents Eugene Walter's great ability as a
dramatist in a new light. It was no small
task to take the widely read book of
John Fox. Jr., and transfer to the stage
the wild, untutored mountain girl, June,
and the other delightfully original char-
I acters of the delightful narrative. The
I role pf lune will be played by Miss Char
j lotte Walker, whom it is said lends to
i the part of the primitive, wild mountain
girl vividness, sympathy and enthusiasm.
