Pretty Chorus Girls Add $l3O to Xmas Fund
AL FRESCO SHOW A HIT
Gus Edw: rds’ rollicking boys and
j girls win warble for Atlantans at the
: Grand this week mote sweetly and with j
i greater enthusiasm than ever before on j
I any previous visit. It’s ail because the :
1 hearts of these footi’g'-.t songbirds are |
' bubbling over with joy.
I They are happy in the realisation that
I through their voluntary contribution of
I song and effort Saturday afternoon,
when they sold thousand.- of copies of
Tin- Georgian at five Points and other
prominent corners, they nobly aided the i
movement to bring < *hii.-.tnia.» cheer to |
| Atlanta’s poor kiddies.
! In the strong box v. Inch Hold? Tl'.’j
Georgian’s Empty Stocking fund i a
money bag bulging wit’, greenbacks,,
silver dollars, half-dollars, quarters.!
dimes, nickel- and pennies—the pro- I
| seeds of the open-air performance and j
j work of Gus Edwards' beauties. All to- !
: get her, it totals nearly $l3O, sending I
I 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 the 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 ot
poverty-shadowed and cheerless homes
ring with the gayety and merriment of
happy children.
And they were just "tickled to ileatl."
when the money was counted and they
saw the actual results.
“Gee, but this is fine business. I 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, aubum-hadred 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

needy kids.
And the way those show girls darted
, in and out among the throngs, '•••.••'.din;?
! up” people in all walks of life and sell-
I ing papers right -nd left, wa- ealcu
| laterl to temp," he profession ;l New
: York newsboy to take a leap off Brook.
I lyn bridge. It resembled the prover
bial ‘ hot cakes" sale. All in all, it wa
a. great sight to behold, and was be
held by thousand-
V* hile t.ie crowds of onlook r." tbit
janmnxl Five Point.-, and pedestrians.
I who gave as they passed by. were doing
j their part in manufacturing Christmas
; cheer for poor tots, they » er, • nter-
I tained by the narblers at frequent in-
I tervals with some of Gus Edwards’ fa
' metis song hits. Such catchy airs as
■ "School Days.” "Jimmy Valentine" and
■ “Kuddles and Kisses” rang out in true
j school boy and girl melody through
i Peachtree, across the viaduct, and other
streets, attracting hundreds.
And as they came to the footlightless
stage -a big auto truck furnished by
the Velle Motor Vehicle Company, 249
Peachtree street —a paper was bought
or a coin rattled into the barrel.
"Everybody's doing it," lustily called
out Louis Silvers—and the way the
crowd kept digging down in the jeans
for a charity coin verified his assertion.
Little Kuddles the "Champion.”
The “newsies” were transported to
Five Points on the big Velle truck, on
which reposed a piano, loaned for the
occasion by the Cleveland-Manning
Piano Company. As the truck moved
through the streets it was like school
days in reality. For the way that bunch
of girls and boys made the welkin ring
with their songs and yells in the crowd
ed thoroughfares was a stirring re
minder of a jolly picnic party in the
good old summer time.
After it was all over, the title of
“champion newsboy” was awarded to
little Kuddles —and she's a cute little
kiddie of not more than eight or nine I
years. Kuddles beat all records when
she sold one paper for $5.
And she was the proudest thing you
ever saw when she danced up and down
and prattled:
“I'm the flve-dollar kid."
When the tired "newsies” had ex
hausted the supply of Georgians and
the money barrel was called in, Man
ager Biggs, of the Velle 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 I
shut out by any means. The Empty I
Stocking fund still is open.
