' Mizzi Hajos is calculated, to arouse en -1 it.sla’.m under ordinary circumstances, I with her charming role in the popular operetta in which she has starred for two or three seasons. She has a personality hat can unit he described as adorable, and her talent is of no mean order. While her voice is not powerful, it is full sweetness and charm. Since com ing the United States, this little lady 1 as met with the greatest success, and 1 r role in “The Spring Maid" has made her famous. The operetta is one of the best pro duced in recent years. While the music is familiar to most, it is of such an • riier as to retain its sweetness and fas cination, for u. long time. The present •otnpany supporting Miss Hajos is ex ceptionally good. Cecil Ryan, as Prince Hadar, is a valuable addition to last sea son's" company. the other principal roles being the same. Roland, the tragedian, is exceptionally fine, as presented by < 'harles McNaughton. The chorus is co.d-looking and each member has a good voice. The costumes are fetching. Miss Hajos nearing one of the most magnificent gowns ever seen on the local stage in . 'ast scene of her play. "The Spring .'lain ' has lost none of its freshness, nor l>;is any detail been neglected to make the present performance as good or bet ter than last year’s presentation of the famous operetta.

I.—“An j other lucky year has started- —the year lof 1913 ’ —was the observation made j today by President-elect Woodrow Wil son, whose life so far has proved a continuous refutation of the old super stition regarding the ill-fortune of “13."! For President-elect Wilson "13” has I proved a signal of good luck, and in , discussing this today, he said: "How has the number ’l3’ figured in my life? Always in connection with some good fortune. You know the’ electoral college which is to east its vote officially electing me to the presi dency is to meet January 13. 1913. Per haps you have noticed that if the nu merals making up the year 1912 in which I was elected president are added up the total is 13. It is also a fact that GIRL FIGHTS OFF TWO NEGROES TRYING TO SNATCH HER PURSE Her ability to scream long and loud and a few stiff punches of her right arm contributed to prevent the robbery of Miss Jessie Stanfield by two young negroes at West Peachtree and Simp son streets last night. Miss Stanfield was walking alone to the Capital city club, where she has charge of the domestic service. One negro grabbed her arm. while the other snatched at Iter purse. The purse con tained a diamond ring valued at $l5O and some money. She also had a gold watch. Miss Stanfield screamed, then struck one negro in the face several times with her fist. Her screams attracted the at tention of two men. Her blows on the negro's face hurt, and the two young would-be highwaymen ran. IJ. BRUCE ISM AY.
