Holly and Mistletoe Reach Atlanta Markets
XMAS TREES PLENTIFUL
Girls who ate “sweet sixteen and
:ave never been kissed” are anxiously
awaiting a .shipment from south Geor
. gia of several carloads of mistletoe or
dcr< ,1 by local produce merchants for
Christinas. It won’t be fair to hang
mistletoe on the family chandelier be
fore ('hrtetrnas eve. Besides, the little
I berries would drop off with long keep
| Ing, and, according to the old legend,
lose all their charrn.
Older folk are not so concerned over
i mistletoe, however. Their mistletoe
I 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 to
$2.50, according as the home is humble
or pretentious.
ATTHETHEATERS
SHEA INTERPRETS WELL
THE GREWSOME MR. HYDE
Thomas E. Shea's Interpretation of the
■ part of Mr. Hyde, In Stevenson’s story of
, psvehic Influence, leaves one with a shud
derlngly bad impression of the malevolent
j character. Mr. Shea acts the dual parts
as striking contrasts, which leaves a lin-
I Bering 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
stands 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 Pooie, Dr. Jekyll’s
servant. His work Monday night as Ben
jamin Clark'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 engagemerit is his
splendid support.
THOMAS E, SHEA TO PLAY
"THE BELLS" AT LYRIC TONIGHT
Wednesday night "The Bells" 'ls an
nounced at the Lyric for Thomas E. Shea.
This is Mr. Irving’s great 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 of the week. The
repertoire for the balance of the engage
ment will be as follows: Thursday mati
nee. "A Man and His Wife;"' Thursday
night, "Dr. Jekyll ami Mr. Hyde;" Friday
night, "A Man and His Wife;" Saturday
matinee. “The Bells," and Saturday night,
| "Jekyll and Hyde."
i LARGE AUDIENCES SEE
FEATURE BILL AT GRAND
If you have not arranged yet for your
seats for an entertainment this week at
| the Grand, it Is suggested that you do
so, for the supply is not going to hold
0114 against the demand, and the acts that
make up the best bill of the season will
; positively not be seen after Saturday
night.
Gus Eilwards afid Ids Song Revue re
| new the tremendous hit that was scored
i last summer For nearly an hour the big
I company headed by the author of nearly
all the popular "kid" song lilts ever wrlt-
I teg holds the interest of an audience,
| and there is singing and dancing and all
that sort of tiling that keeps interest
alive. The act is a complete performance
in Itself and has proven to be a real draw-
Ing card.
DuCalion. .the "talkative Englishman on
| the tottering’ ladder, ’ has registered an
I individual hit that is the best any sin
gle performer lias 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 1 mCalion has not been intro
duced here.
Al and Fannie Stedman are winning a
I well-earned hit, and there are other acts
that make the show just the kind that
would pack any theater at any time..
For Christmas week and seats are be
ing sold in blocks—the management an
nounces "Dinkelspiel's Christmas, an in
teresting comedy from the pen of George
V. Hobart. This act Is conceded to be
the star performance of its sort. In ad
dition, there will be six features, including
the Empire City Four, the best quartet in
vaudeville.
EMMA BUNTING BEGINS AT
FORSYTH AGAIN NEXT WEEK
Little Emma Bunting, the pride of a
host of theatergoers, will resume enter
taining at the Forsyth on Monday night,
and with the excellent combination of
Forsyth players, will be seen all week in
"The Little Gray Lady,” a play from the
pen of Channing Bollock that Is conceded
to be one of the brightest entertainments
in the world of theatricals.
In addition to the regular schedule of
I entertainments, there will be a special
holiday matinee on Christmas day. and
seats for any performance can be en-
I gaged now In advance. The box office is
open for the accommodation of those who
wish to purchase seats or to make reserv-

I CORNELL GLEE CLUB IS
COMING HERE THIS MONTH
The Cornell Glee Club, which comes to
I Atlanta, December 28, is introducing a
novel feature in the form of a picture
show. Os course the "movies” are not
exactly a novelty, but their introduction
In a college glee club concert is decidedly
new The pictures will be shown between
I the first and second parts ot the concert.
; When the Cornell (’lee Club starts out
on a trip, which includes New York, Sa
vannah. Atlanta, Birmingham, New Or
leans, St. Louis. Chicago and Cleveland,
they can't reasonably expect to pay ex
penses. In tact, they will be fortunate if
they finish two or three thousand dollars
'■ in the hole," as they have their own
Pullman and baggage ear and the best
the country affords is none too good for
I them. No. ft Isn't a money making
I scheme. It's advertising.
That's the ulterior motive—to advertise
' the university "fur above Cayuga's
' w aters." The pictures w 111 show scenes
; and scenery from the most beautiful col
. lege campus, acentcally speaking. In the
country. The pictures alone would be
i worth the price of admission, even If the
! glee club was not famous for its music.

Whj not make some one happy with

Sons liave a complete stock. 42 North
lliroad St. (Advt.)
The first consignment of > iiristinae j
trees were offered foff sale today. They
carne from the Flint river. Rocky creek
and Utoy 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 firs and holly
bushes.
Holly comes from all’over the county,
notably from the wooded dells of the
Buckhead district, but mistletoe is re
ceived in the largest quantities from
south Georgia, where the warmer 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.
