Gold and Silversmiths 31-33 Whitehall Street Atlanta, Georgia ESTABLISHED 18S7 i ~ 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 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. DECEMBER Ki. 191.2, drop a coin in the barrel to help th 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. WIFE SHOULD HAVE HER NIGHTS OFF. SAYS PASTOR NEW YORK.
