Holly and Mistletoe Reach Atlanta Markets
XMAS TREES PLENTIFUL
Giris who are "sweet sixteen and
j have never been kissed” are anxiously
i awaiting a shipment from south Geor
gia of several carloads of mistletoe or
; dere 1 by local produce merchants for
I' !h. istrnas. It won't be fair to hang
| mistletoe on the family chandelier be
i fore Christmas ev,-. Resides, the little
I berries -ould drop off w ith long keep
■ ing, and, according to the old legend,
' lose all their charm.
Older folk are not -so concerned over
l mistletoe, however. Their mistletoe
days are over, and now they turn to
holly wreaths, which grace the front
windows of magnificent (and not so
magnificent) homes, tied up in dainty
red ribbons. There is plenty of holly on
sale at 25 cents a wreath. Mistletoe
costs 15 cents a sprig.
Little tots' hearts were gladdened to
day by the arrival of thousands of
Christmas trees. Trees are within the
reach of every purse, from 50 cents <o
12.50, according as the home is humble
or pretentious.

INTERPRETS WELL
THE GREWSOME MR. HYDE
Thomas E. Rhea’s Interpretation of the
part of Mr. Hyde, in Stevenson's story of
P>: * hic influence, leaves one with a shu<l
deringly had impression of the malevolent
character. Mr. Shea acts the dual parts
as striking contrasts, which leaves a lin
gering pity for Dr. Jekyll while Hyde is
execrated.
Students of psychology will do well to
see the play, and learn Mr. Shea’s views
through his acting. Others not students
will not spend a bad two hours watching
him. That Robert Louis Stevenson put
the same interpretation on his own work
as Mr. Shea is beside the question. That
Mr. Shea’s interpretation is interesting
and instructive any student must admit.
The mechanical and histrionic excellence
of Mr. Shea and his company may not
be questioned, and that the. star under
stand* theatrics accentuates his work.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” is well worth
the seeing.
It would not be amiss to mention also
the most excellent character work of Jack
Amory, as William Poole, Dr. Jekyll’s
servant. His work Monday night as Ben
jamin (’lark’s father drew for him well
earned applause. This was repeated last
night, and was deserved.
Tonight Mr. Shea will present “The
Bells," another study In psychology’, in
which he has quite a reputation as Ma
thias.
one of the very pleasant conditions of
Mr. Shea’s present engagement is his
splendid support.
THOMAS E. SHEA TO PLAY
"THE BELLS” AT LYRIC TONIGHT
Wednesday night ’’The Bells” is an
nounced at the Lyric- for Thomtts E. Shea.
This is Mr. Irving’s grett play, in which
he scored the greatest success of his emi
nent career. It Is said that Mr. Shea
gives a most convincing interpretation of
the play, and it will prove one of the
most interesting events us the week. The
repertoire for the balance us the engage
ment will be as follows: Thursday mati
nee. Man and His Wife;" Thursday
night, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde;" Friday
night, “A Man aid His Wife;” Saturday
matinee, "The Bells," and Saturday night,
I Jekyll and Hyde."

If y >u have not arranged yet for your

last summer For nearly an hour the big
i company headed by the author of nearly
all trie popular "kid" song hits ever writ
; teg holds the interest of an audience,
I ami is singing and dancing and all
that sort of thing that keeps interest
| alive. The act is a complete performance
j in itself and has proven to be a real draw
ing card.
DuCalion. the “talkative Englishman on
I the tottering ladder.” has registered an
individual hit that is the best any sin
i gle performer has ever recorded in a lo
cal theater. His balancing ability on a
ladder is wonderful enough to make him
a drawing card, but a better laugh win
ner than DuCalion has not been intro
duced here.
Al and Fannie Stedman are winning a
well-earned hit, and there are other acts
i that make the show just the kind that
I would pack any theater at any time.

trees were offered for sale today. They
carne from the Flint river. Rocky creek
and t’toy creek districts, in Fulton.
Campbell and Clayton counties; and by
the end of the week the firm receiving
them will have sold nearly a thousand.
While an estimate of the total number
to be used in Atlanta might go amiss,
it may be stated that approximately
5,000 of 25,000 Atlanta families, togeth
er with numerous Churches and socie
ties, will each purchase one. The trees
are mostly cedar, pine and spruce, al
though there are a few fire and holly
bushes.
Holly comes from all over the county,
notably from the wooded delis of the
Buckhead district, but mis-tietoe is re
ceived in tiie largest quantities from
south Georgia, where the warper cli
mate has caused it to thrive.
The supply of trees is good this year,
according to local market men, and the
demand also is steady. Prices remain
about the same from year to year.
