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. attheTheaters I 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."

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.

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.
