THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18. 1912. 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 ations. 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.

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.
