Miss Arbaugh’s School for Deaf Children 110 Rogers Ave. MACON, GA Pretty Chorus Girls Add $l3O to Xmas Pun AL FRESCO SHOW A HE Gus Edwards’ rollicking boys and girls will warble for Atlantans at the Grand this week more sweetly and with greater enthusiasm than ever before <gi any previous visit, it’s all because tlie hearts of these footlight songbirds are bubbling over with joy. They are happy in ’he realization that through their voluntary contribution of song and effort Saturday afternoon, when they sold thousands of copies of The Georgian at Five Points and other prominent corners, they nobly aided the movement to bring Christmas cheer to Atlanta’s poor kiddies. In the strong box which holds The Georgian’s Empty Stocking fund is a money bag bulging with greenbacks, silver dollars, half-dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies—the pro ceeds of the open-all performance and work of Gus Edwards’ beauties. Al! to gether. it totals nearly $l3O, sending the Empty Stocking fund beyond the thousand-dollar mark. “Just Tickled to Death." It was the hardest day’s work done by the chorus girls in a long while, but. although weary and hungry by tlie time the last Georgian had been sold, they were all smiling and just as chipper as ever. They were all glad of the oppor tunity to help swell the fund, and said they didn’t mind the labor a bit. be cause they were going to make a lot ol poverty-shadowed and cheerless homes ring with the gayety and merriment of happy children. And they weie just ’’tickled to death’’ when the money was counted and they saw the actual results. “Gee, but this is fine business. 1 think I'll put you girls out to selling papers every day, instead of having you romp about behind the footlights," exclaimed Louis Silvers as he rubbed his hands gleefully. Silvers is musical director of Gus Edwards’ musical act, and took an active part in the paper-selling. "I don't care—this is my regular game, anyway. I'm one of the profesh." laughingly retorted pretty Mamie Mar tin, a petite, auburn-haired girl, who does the role of the newsboy in the show. This open-air stunt demonstrated that Atlantans are open-hearted and charitable, and that they’ll give, if the opportunity, is presented. The show girls gave the opportunity, all right, for there was no such thing as escaping them. They didn’t slight anyone all had a chance to buy a Georgian and to drop a coin in the barrel to help the needy kids.

While the crowds of onlookers ■ jammed Five Points, and pedes who gave as tliey passed by, were their part in manufacturing Cln-i; ;. cheer for poor tots, they were . rained by the warblers at frequei. tervils with some of Gus Edward mous song hits. Such catchy air ■. “School Days," "Jimmy Valentine" . "Kuddles and Kisses" rang out in school boy and girl melody thr ll;i e Peachtree, across the viaduct, and ~ streets, attracting hundreds.

Piano Company. As the truck nmv. through the streets it was like s. h,„. days in reality. For the way that bum of girls and boys made the welkin in with their songs and yells in tlie er,... od thoroughfares was a stirring minder of a jolly picnic party in good old summer time. After it was all over, the tin, “champion newsboy" was awarded fi. little Kuddles— and she’s a cute ilttb kiddie of not more than eight or nin. years. Kuddles beat all records win., she sold one paper for $5, And she was the proudest thing on ever saw when she danced up and clow and prattled: "I’m the five-dollar kid.” Y hen the tired “newsies" had ex iiausted the supply of Georgians an, the money barrel was called in, Man aper Biggs, of the Velie Company, es corted them to Durand’s, and was host at a delightful lunch. Those who chanced not to pass Five Points Saturday afternoon will not be shut out by any means. Tlie Empty Stocking fund still Is open.
